Child ChOkes on Stick

Charles Davis, fourteen months
old child Of Mrs. Ida Davis, died al
most instantly Sunday evening after
sucking small stick, which it was
playing with, into hts windpipe. Soon
as the accident happened it was no
ticed and every effort possible was
made-to save the child's life but to
no avail. Before DIR. Dabney could
reach the home, which is one mile
from town, death had claimed the
baby.-CoMmbus Courier.

Df' John X. Gass returned last
hOniey to Albuquerque, after a
stay here Of two weeks, during
which time he sold considerable fife
insurance to local people. The war,
he aAys, has made tremendous diff
ferepce in the market for life in
sulthce and, contrary to what one
wculd naturally expect, the differ
ence Is in favor Of the insurance
people. With Uncle Sam IN the in

close TO three million soldiers for
more than $2aOOO,OOO, 100000, Il
would seem at first blush that there
would be little left for anyone else
IN the field. However, this move BY
the government has turned out 10
be the greatest possible ayertise-
ment life insurance could have re-
ceived, according to DR.. Gass, and
people who never before permitted
an agent TO approach them are now
hunting up the insurance men and
taking out policies. This has been
the case to a marked degree among
the fathers Of soldiers. On the ar
rival at home Of the soldiers policy
for $4,000 his father has in sur
prisingly large number Of eases
made straight for the insurance Of

son who SCOTS at life insurance.
People do not pooh-pooh the propo-
sitions of the life insurance man
now. Another good result will be that
almost every man in the country
will have insurance, for the soldiers
are given the option of transferring
their government policies TO old
line companies after the war This
is a change that will have to be
worked out by the government and
the insurance companies and may
take some time and red tape, but
they are sure to get together TOR the
insurance people realize the ire

Don't Fuss
By B. L. 7.

Consider Mr.. Shadrach,
OF fiery furnace fame;
lie didn't bleat about the heat
Or fus about the flame.
lie didn't stew and worry,
And get his nerves in kinks,
Nor fill his skin with lines and gin
And other "cooling drinks"
Consider Mr. Meshach,
Who fed the furnace, too;
He LET il sizz, nor queried as
Il hot enough for youG"
lie didn't mop his forehead
And hunt shady spot;
Nor did he say Gee what dayl
Believe me, It's some hot"
Consider, too, Abed-ne-go,
Who shared his comrades plight
lie didn't shake his coat and make
Himself holy sight.
lie didn't wear suspenders
Without coat or vest;--
Nor did he scowl aud snort and howl,
And make himsef q pest.
Consider, friends, this trio
How little fuss they made,
They didn't curse when il was worse
Than ninety in the shade,
They moved aboni serenely
Within the furnace bright,
And soon forgot that il was hot,
With mo relief in sight,

On memorable occasion the assem-

they resolved that no duty should re-

pioneer of European freedom, stands
condemned with a terrible unanimlty

ruined their city by attempting to con-

Since the war broke out my boys

nothing but talk or play war. One day
with four other little fellows they de-
cided to play war, insisting that my
Youngest boy be on the German side.
After much arguing and crying and
yet afraid of breaking up the game he
finally decided to be German. Each
side took their places, supposedly be-

Washington. The sale Of thous-
ands of pounds Of spoiled meat and
other foods to Camp Travis, Tex, IS
charged against Morris & Co. and
Wilson & Co. in a complaint issued
by the Federal Trade Commission.
The complaint says the food was
unfit for human consumption" Most
of it was detected and condemned, but
it is said some of it may have been
passed and consumed. Details were
withheld. The announcement and cor
respondence given out with it, how
ever, show the alleged offenses oc-
Cured last December and are the
same upon which indictments were
obtained in Texas by the Department
of Justice after an investigation by
the Food Administration. The indict-
ments were dropped because they
were returned under the section vi
the food bill which carries no per
atty.
Since then the Food Administers
ton and the commission have contIn-
ued their investigation. If the COM
plant should be sustained the coli
mission could do no more than order
the packers Ito cease and desist
from the practices. Upon repetition,
offenders may be hailed into a federal
court

ministration from E. A. Peden, fed
eral administrator for Texas. is ex-
pected soon. Officials of the admins
tration say they probably will tn1

ground of food wastage.
Correspondence between Mr.. Pedon
and Mr.. Boyden, chief Of the Enforce

ed his belief that the trouble was the
attempt of the packers to do business
without proper facilities. 1t is charg
ed that the unfit chickens were pre-
pared in unclean surroundings by

BASKET BALL GAME.

In an exciting game last Friday on
Fulton Highs Court, the Fulton ANA
IONS met the Battalion of Death from
Marietta in one of the fastest games
of the season. From the time the
ball was first tossed up until the last
whistle the playing was fierce and it
was a thriller.
Although the Battalion of Death
fought like tigers they could not cope
with the strong Amazons in scoring,
however, they played better ball than
the Amazons. The final score being
II to 3 in favor of the Fulton ANA
IONS.
In the first ten seconds of the
play Miss Lula Kemp scored a field
goal for the Marietta Girls, and la
ter Miss Williams shot a foul goal
Boatner, Gober and Galley played
better ball than ever before and
showed the kind of pep" that takes,
but neither were able to scode a
single point. Although the score
was in favor of the opposing team,
still it was not defeat to be asham-
ed of, for Marietta girls played the
best ball of the season. Too, this
does not mean that Fulton has the
Championship, for Marietta expects
to even the, thing up on her own
court.
Next Friday will find the Battalion
of Death face to face with Decatur
on Agnes Scott's court This bids
fair to be a thriller, and all basket
ball fans are invited to attend.

TO THE MEMORY.

aqs t-s = s-
Mrs Lucy Wellons, beloved teach
er of the Philathea Glass this little
tribute is inscribed.
1t has been said "The dead have
no faults" an in the character of our
dear friend the faults were truthful
ly few and small. Doubtless many
eulogies will be written on the life
of Mrs. Wellons, but it is in the ca
pacity of teacher and friend that we
consider her in this brief memorial.
In the early life she became
Christian and throughout the years,
lived according to her deep convic-
tions. She had wonderful insight
into Bible truth, and truly lived the
lessons she therein learned. This
gave her that tender sympathy she
had for those in distress and made
her ministrations so helpful, so ac-
ceptable.
Her heart was overflowing with the
love that "never faileth." Always
knowing just the right thing to be
done, just the right thing to be said.
In her class work she was ardent
and studious.
To be her pupil was to be her friend.
None came to the class without wish
ing to come again, for thus she held
them by magnetic influence. She
made personal calls, or when this was
not possible a call over the phone
would give information as to the les
son, and promise to be exacted for
attendance. She studied widely and
deeply and impaired her knowledge
in pleasing ways, and her personnel
appeals were tender and loving.
These qualities adding to the great
ness of our loss Then her going
away was so sudden. Why it was but
yesterday we heard her merry laugh
at our fireside; saw her fitting here
