WHEN COPS ARE THIRSTY
THEY GO ON A RAID

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 18.-Apparently
there is only one sure way of quench-
ing the thirst that becomes steadily
worse and worse throughout the bone
dry state of Georgia, and that is to
get on the police force where you have
the authority to search and seize and
conhscate the liquor belonging to the
other fellow
A. F. Duncan, patrolman on the
police force of Atlanta, has been sus-
pended from duty by Chief Beavers
on account of his failure to turn over
to police headquarters three suit cases
full of liquor conhscated by him sew
eral weeks ago
When asked for an explanation, the
policeman said he had put the liquor
away at home and had simply for
gotten to take it to the station house
He was turned up by negro who
said he was waiting to receive the liq-
uor from PAL at suburban rail-
road station, the pal having brought
it from Cincinnati.

NO FIXED QUOTAS FOR 1919.

80 great is the faith of the American
Red Cross in the American people that
NO quotas have been assigned to Red
Cross Chapters for the enrolment of
members in the Red Cross Christmas
Roll Call. Universal membership is
the goal. Chapters are limited only
OJ the number of people in their jul
Tfsdictions. The Roll Call will be fin
Hshed only when every available per-
son, without regard to age or sex, has
been enrolled. Children may join only
through the Junior Red Cross AuxiIia-
Eses, and their membership dues are
twenty-five cents year. The chief
aim in enrolling is not to raise money
BAT to increase the membership. Spe-
afAi emphasize is laid upon the regular
membership at $1.00 per year, but priv
nege will be given to enroll as a Con-
tEibuting Member at $500, Sustaining
Member at $1,000, Life Member at
5000 or Patron at $4,000.

WHY LET YOUR cow
GET ON r. r. TRACKS

Atlanta, Ga, December 18.-Admit-
ting that the cow is the most useful
and valuable of all animals, as doubt
less everyone will admit, the Georgia
State Council of Defense asks the
pertinent question:
"Why does the owner Of cow
permit her to get on railroad
track and be killed."
The cow gives milk for the babies,
meat for grown people, and hides for
harness and leather for innumerable
other articles used by mankind In
view of her usefulness, her value and
her usually gentle and tractable dis
position, it would seem that the own
er of cow would Keep her of the
railroad tracks
In its campaign for the conservation
of leather and food the State Council
will undertake to bring the matter to
the attention of live stock owners
including owners of hogs and horses
as we'll as owners OF cows and beef
cattle-throughout the state. When
cow is killed On railroad track she
becomes dead loss The meat is
lost. the hide is lost, the money paid
in damages by the railroad is hest.
The late Sam Jones used TO tell a
story about boy hanging en- to the
tail of bull yearfing that was lead
ing him merry so round. The boys
father threw up the window and lean
ed out and shouted "Hey, Johnnie,
don't you know you can't stop that
yearling" The boy turned his head
without. loosing his hold and shouted
back: mo, bat can check him lit
tie"
The Georgia State Council Of De
tense does not expect to stop the
careless habit of allowing live stock
to walk on railroad tracks, but it ex-
poets to check it considerably.

WHAT BOYS SAY
ABOUT RED CROSS

Since the soldiers overseas have
been informed by their officers thai
the American Red Cross will play San
ia Claus this Christmas for all the
boys In khaki who have no relatives
I'm the United States, Red Cross Head
quarters at Washington has been re
ceiving hundreds of appeals. Incl
dentally the men at the front have
taken this time to express their ap
probation for the work done by the
Red Cross "Over There"
Following are few excerpts taker
at random from letters inclosins
Christmas Package Coupons:

ated beyond words. The Red Cross has
done so much for US over here, and you
don't know just how we appreciate it

An Italian thus addresses his Christ
mas appeal:

ceive a little package from the Red Cross

One Red Cross nurse writes:

their packages first. then IL one is left

others will have something from home
which will make me a little lonesome.

ALBERT TAYLOR WRITES
TO FOLKS AT HOME

Nov. Il, 1918.

NOV. Il, 1913.
Dear Sis Nancy:
This will be day to remember for
quite awhile, as most of the German
fleet surrendered today. We six
American ships and six British ships
went out and brought them in the
bay here at marlborough, Scotland
They are sure large ships and each
has eight 10 inch guns on them. They
sure could have done lots of damage
with those large guns, for Ia inch
guns are the largest we have on these
five ships over here. Well, | didn't
fire shot or hit man, and yet the
| war is over.
have been real sick for the past
few days, but am much better now.
| got out of bed yesterday. l am
pretty weak yet, but am feeling lots
better. Think will soon be well
again.
We can write as much as we like
| now as it i not censored any more.
Say, you remember | wrote you about
William PENIS house in Pennsylva-
MA. Peculiar to say, but just a few
| days later | had the pleasure of see
ing the Black Rock Castle en- the
| River Lea, in Ireland, where Penn
sailed from when he went to America
Say, this is rough looking old
country over here, some of the dog
gondest hills | ever saw, and they are
solid rocks, too. l haven't seen near
all this country l want to see.
had quite treat before | went
! aboard the ship. We rod on the train
for three days add nights and we had
man with us that knew the country
well, and he could tell us all about
the things of interest. We couldn't
have any lights on the train at nights
on account of air raids. You know
there was few air raids here in 1915
have seen where they dropped few
bombs. Sure does tear things up
where they hit, toe.
You know it has been q long time
since we have had any trouble with 3
submarine, but l tell you it seems
good for they are dangerous little
things. | have seen the time in bat
tie with one when torpedoes would
miss our ship about two or three feet
and | had rather been home with
mama, ha! ha!
Mama said they had not heard from
| me in over two weeks | can't i'm.
agine why, for | write her and Jessie
both every week, and hear from one
or both of them every week
will send you a picture Of the
largest bridge in England | am eu
on the bay, not more than half mile
from it, If you take notion to come
to see me, am not far from Edinbor.
