BILL WOULD INCREASE
THE GOVERNORS SALARY

ATLANTA, GA.-Although the
Georgia House OF Representative has
passed bill to increase the govern
or's salary to $500. there is doubt
as to whether the measure will pass
the Senate and become laWSSsAt in
wolves constitutional a1lishsEir1ent,
and the bill first considered raising
the salary to $4,000. This, however,
was reduced by the house before pass
ing the bill.
AS recent .conipaxison have shown
that the salary ofAke governor of
Georgia averages tHat paid in other
states, and as the perquisness of the
office amount to such a iafke amount
annually, there is feeiihg among
some of those familiar with the mat
ter that no increase of salary should
be added to the drain on the treasury
during the war stress. 81
The house passed number of local
bills yesterday, one of,them being to
authorize a, change in. tbs school sys-
The Senate has under preliminary
consideration the appropriation bill
passed by the house, and there is no
doubt that the Senate will not concur
IN the. appropriations on the ground
that the sum total of appropriations
is too heavy for the resources of the
state.

the cotton picking of the state, Pro-
lessor Joseph T. Derry. federal state
director for thssBoys Working Re-

to the boys of the state to enroll for

there will be a great loss to the farm
ers OF the state if they do not receive
assistance from some other source,
and urges that the young people OF
the state show their patriotism and
their war earnestness by arranging
with the farmers to pick the crop.
Prof. Derry suggests also that il

GEORGIA LAWMAKERS
FACE EXTRA SESSION

ATLANTA, GA.-Several indica-
tons point to the probability of an
extra legislative session of the GEN
eral Assembly unless the lawmakers
make tremendous effort to complete
all business during the coming week.
1t is believed that the governor
will veto the general appropriations
bill as it now stands, the total appro-
priations amounting to nearly nine
million dollars, the chief item of
which is the million dollar increase
for the common schools of the state.
The opinion is current that the
Senate will refuse to concur in that
appropriation, and deadlock seems
apparent.
During the week just beginning,
much legislation of importance will
come before the Assembly, and a ire
mendous effort will be made to COM
plete the business of the legislature
in the regular session.

Oklahoma City, Okla.

Oh, a man has awful habits-any
dame can tell 'yors that,
From.his smoking in the parlor to the
way he wears his hat
He's boorish, garish creature and
well developed pest.
And his manners prove his breeding
has been rotten at the best.
Yes, the ladies, gentle ladies are the
only ones refined
But we've got little protest to pres
ent to Womankind
We were driven by the weather to a
soda water store,
And the fountain being crowded, from
the cooler to the door,
We betook our weary body to table
in the rear,
Where we ordered up a bottle of a
substitute for beer,
While we waited for the jerker to
produce little foam,
At the bottom of the table We al
lowed our hands to roam.
Then we felt little something-it
was mushy like and bum,
And we figured for moment
and we knew the stuff was gum!
All about the underestimate of that
mable-fnished stand.
Little bits of gum were fastened.
we imagine ev'ry brand!
1t was put there by the ladies, while
they sat a-sipping ale,
For the steno of the species is more
deadly than the male.
Here we have a business idea, there's
fortune for the man
Who'll install stand. for checking
Juicy Fruit and Yucatan,
And the other kinds of wakes that the
Ladies like to chew.
If they check 'em when they enter
when they leave, they're good as
new.
It's in line with conservation-and a
blessing to the land.
There's fortune for the fellow who'll
install checking stand!

ENTOMOLOGY BOARD
GIVES REMEDY FOR
DEADLY PINE BEETLE

The southern pine beetle is small
brownish black beetle 1t attacks the
! trunks of healthy pine and spruce tres,
causing their death by burrowing in
the inner bark. Eggs are laid along
these burrows, which soon hatch. The
larvae or grubs feed on the inner bark
until mature, pupate, and in due time
emerge as beetles. These fly to other
living trees and the processais repeat
! ed. ..,,;ss%5
There are from three Stos FIVE gem
erations annually. The bsetles begin
to emerge in Match and Continue to
emerge until the ETst Of August. In
tested trees usually die in about a
year after being attacked.
The first external signs seen, after
tree is infested are, the foliage be-
gins to fade, and reddish boring dust
may be found around the base of the
tree If the foliage of infested trees
usually die in about year after being
attacked.
The first external signs seen, after
a tree is infested are, the foliage be-
gins to fade, and reddish boring dust
may be found around the base of the
tree. If the foliage of infested trees
I is reddish brown and part or all fallen,
it indicates that the beetles have
emerged, and that such trees need not
be cut down. If the infested trees die
between the first of March and the
first of October the beetles will leave
them in a few weeks after the foliage
begins to fade. If infested trees be-
gin to die between October and De-
cember the beetles will not emerge
until March or April
The Remedy
In brief the method of control is
to locate the infested trees during No.
vember, December, January and Feb
ruary; and cut down and remove the
bark from the trunks before the bee
ties emerge. The beetles emerge from
the trees showing infestation in the
above months, during April and May,
hence these trees should be cut down
before April first.
The beetles have all emerged from
the trees that are dead now (August)
Watch the trees around these next
fall and winter so as to locate the
newly infested trees. If tree is cut
down for cordwood or killed by light
ming it will attract the beetles for
three or four miles and may become
THE center of infestation, unless re-
moved before April |.

. WAR LABOR BOARD SAYS
HIGHER FARES NECESSARY

ATLANTA, GA.-Granting radical
increases in wages in twenty-five of
the electric railway cases submitted
to it for decision, the National War
Labor Board declared that advances
in fares must be given to the COM
panies if bankruptcy is to be avoid
ed, according to advices received in
Atlanta. So serious is the situation
in the opinion of the Board that it has
suggested to President Wilson that
special congressional action be secur-
ed which will give some executive
agency of the Federal government
the power to consider how such in
creases shall be standardized to meet
the present critical situation.
The necessities of the war, the board
holds, justihes federal interference
Pending the determination of whether
such federal agency can be'created,
the board urges upon the local author
tiles everywhere the necessity of i'm
mediately meeting the situation.
This is not a question turning upon
local conditions, the Board holds, but
is one that clearly affects directly the
winning of the war. The increases
must be given to keep the street rail-
way companies out of bankruptcy
Their credit is now exhausted, and
they need the money
The board further held tina; It is
not a question of overcapitalization
or corrupt former methods, or the ex-
orbitant dividends of the past. 1t is
straight question of policy and in
justice the public should pay an ade-
quate compensation for war service at
war prices.
