sports are the only solution of relief
offered to tired mankind who are
now ready for an extended era of
sport popularity. Men and women
will become devotees of sports, who
in the past have permitted their
moses to be held to the business
grindstones." Trapshooting will un-
questionably be declared the ma
jor sport for 1919. Four million
men are returning home, who have
been intensively trained under the
tutorage Of Uncle Sam, to shoot and
handle firearms. 1t is logical con-
clusion that our "doughboys" Will
adopt the patriotic sport with which
they are now familiar. This will be
the popular recreation for all class
es. With personal accounts OF the
active and impressive part taken by
the sawed off shot gum" In the
hands of scatter gun artists, when
trained on the advancing or retiring
Huns" compelling strategic re-
treats storms of protests and final
ly the cry of "Kamerad," the gen.
eral public will appreciate the train
ing of men. This alone can be ac-
as demonstrated by our dough
boys" when performing their grim
task in trench warfare. Trapshoot-
ing must be Americas major sport
q perpetual preparedness diversion.

tana, I saw a fence built of Elk
horns, encircling a private resi-
dence These antlers had been gath
cred in and near Jacksons' Hole.
Antlers are seldom found in pairs,
they are rubbed off against trees by
the animals-seldom shed simultan-
eously. Unless they are confined in
parks. the animals travel consider
able distance. hence the antlers are
rarely found together.

TOUGH FOR A BABY NOW

When Mrs. Mary A. Torney went
out with her bluejacket husband to a
movie at Waukegan. near the Great
Lakes Naval Training STATION, she
put their 2-week-old baby in bureau
drawer at the hotel where she was
stopping. The baby awakened and
uttered such calls for attention that
the manager responded. When the
couple returned they learned that
their offspring had been the cause
of much commotion.
"The idea of scolding." Mrs. Tor
ney said "a bureau drawer is the
best place in the world to leave a
child when you're living in hotel.

She said she would go elsewhere to

Gainesville9to Build
Concrete Highway

GAINESVILLE. May 30.-Within
the next few months Gainesville will
enjoy the distinction of being the
first town in Georgia with a population
of less than $4,000 to have a concrete
road. On May 8 special appropria-
ton of $4,000 was made by the city
council for the building of a three
mile concrete road, extending from
the outskirts of the city to the
edge of Gwinnett county. A like sum
will be given by the government for
the building of the road.
On the same date bond issue of
100000 was passed for the improve
ment of Hall county roads, but the
appropriation of $4,000 was sepa-
rate issue, that amount being left over
from the county treasury from 1918.
Surveying of the new road route has
begun and the actual construction
will begin in June

TAXES LOWER IN
ONLYFIVESTATES
THANIN GEORGIA

ATLANTA, May 30.-The tax COM
mission appointed by the last legisla-
ture to formulate and submit a revis-
ion OF the tax laws of the state, held
their last public session in the senate
chamber of the capitol Thursday. The
Meeting was marked by the absence of
Seaborn Wright, of Floyd, who was
expected to present his minority re-
port and urge it's substitution for the
majority opinion. In his absence, his
views were read by the secretary. John
N. Holder and Clifford Walker, pros
pective candidates for governor, were
interested spectators at the hearing.
Senator H. R. DeJarnette, the prin-
clpal speaker, declared that seventy
IKE per cent. of the property of Geor-
gia escapes taxation under the present
system. He showed that the state
revenue is inadequate to meet current
expenses, and that floating debt of
$3,OOO,0OO has accumulated from time
to time. He explains the proposition
to reclassify property which has been
adopted by the commission, pointing
to it as remedy for the existing evils.
Georgia, he stated, cannot claim an
over-burden of taxation. The tax pay
ments are at the rate of $3.50 per cap
ita while that of the nations is an aver
age of $500 per capita; only five states
in the union, he said, have lower
tax rate than the state of Georgia. The
meeting was largely attended by CAPT
talists and business men of Atlanta

FEDERAL CONTROL
Of MEAT INDUSTRY
URGED BY WOMAN

Washington, Feb 13.---Govern-
ment regulation aud control of the
meat industry was urged before the
house interstate commerce commit
tee today by Mrs. Florence Kelly
general secretary of the national con-
sumers league. She appeared after
Francis j. Heney, former counsel for
the federal trade commission and fin-
ished presenting his views ms to fed
eral regulation.
Mrs. Kelly told the committee the
consumers of the country were unan-
imously in favor of government in
tervention in the packing business
and that they would not "let congress
rest" until definite action had been
taken She said if the government
would take control, prices of meat
would he reduced and the poor would
be able to buy ii again Thousands
of persons in the large cities have
not tasted meat for years, Mrs. Kelly
said.
MIR. Heney in concluding his testi-
mony, said the extent Of the activities
of the five leading meat packers
would prove disadvantage to them
rather than an advantage If the gov
eminent would take away the special
privileges they possessed, He sug-
gested that the government take over
the packers refrigerator cars and
stock yards and build cold storage
plants in the large cities.

BOMB IS FOUND
NEAR !. N. {. A.
DOUGLAS, hRIz.


Douglas, Ar!z, Feb. 13.~-Alertncss
on the part of the military notice to-
day probably saved the Dougias Y. NJ
c. A. building from being blown to
atoms by u deadly bomb of unique
design and which was filled with nitro
glycerine.
The bomb was found under small
bridge that spans one of the small
canals on the east side of the build
ing. The clock on the bomb was set
FOR 1880 and Il was only few min
utes before that hour that the in
fernal machine was found.
Whether the bomb was intended for
the Y. NJ. G.. A. or not has not been
learned but It is generally conceded
by the members of the military police
and attaches of the department OF
justice that regardless of the original
intention Of the person placing the
bomb at the place found the associa
ton building and those in the imme-
diate vicinity would have been
wrecked.
The bomb consisted of pasteboard
carton in which rested cocoanut
shell from which the milk had been
poured and nitroglycerine substituted
The cocoanut was attached by fuse
about twcnty-four inches IN length to
a new alarm clock. The glass had
been removed from the face OF the
clock ana one end of the fuse attach
ed to the hammer of the alarm. The
whole was neatly and tightly wrapped
with adhesive tape and was evidently
the work of experts.
