feeding and management are not
conducive to a high degree of
health we will soon come to
grief no matter what kind or

When it is learned that according
to census figures the Powder Springs
District is one of, if not the leading
district in the state in regard to per
capita wealth, it is not so difficult
to understand the additional fact that
this little city of 800 people, situated
in one of the best agricultural coun-
ties of the state, is unsurpassed in
the county and state in the relative
amount of business handled by local
merchants and in the real delightful
ness of the little city as place in
which to live.
Powder Springs lies in the south
west portion of Cobb county. on the
Southern Railway, distant about IL
miles from Marietta and approximate
ly rs miles from Atlanta. The eli
mate is delightful and so healthful
that fevers and the like are very
seldom known.
The city is equipped with water
and lights which places it on a foot
ing of equality with the larger cities
of the state. Substantial growth is
evident everywhere, despite the fact
that it is an old town and has at the
present such small population.
This latter is due to the fact that
most of Powder Springs is outside
the city limits, the city being only
about one half mile thru so far as
the limits are concerned. This throws
most of the residents outside of the
corporate limits.
Several excellent business houses
supply the people of the city and the
farmers of the surrounding territory
with every variety of merchandise.
The Bank is one of the most prosper
Gus in the state and has long record

of $12,500.90 and has paid out TO its
stock holders an annual dividend of
8 per cent.
During the Is years of its exis-
tence this bank has loaned hundreds
of thousands of dollars for the de-
velopment of farming and business
interests of its section of the coun-
ty.
A particular distinguishing feature
of the bank is the fact that all money
deposited with it is insured against
loss by reason of special contract
which it holds with the Bankers
Trust Company.
The Banks stockholders are the
leadiny citizens of the community.

Warning that passage
of the Fordney emergency tariff bill
would lead to retaliatory measures and
would cause unfriendliness to Ameri-
can trade among foreign nations was
given by witnesses before the Senate
Finance Committee. AS a result of
the testimony, it was expected that
members of the United States Tariff
Commission would be asked for infor-
nation on the question. Chairman
Boies Penrose said that members Of
the commission twill be on hand to
answer any questions" and indicated
that he desired further information Of
how serious the danger of retaliation
might be. The committee will conclude
it's hearings, Senator Penrose an
nounced, and it is planned to take up
the bill in executive session. Members
said they planned "to stay with it
until it is reported to the Senate"
The Chairman said he understood
there were numerous amendments to
be consi Tered, but he did not know
what the attitude of the committee
would be nor to what extent MEM
bers would seek to change the meas
ure as passed by the House. Discus
sion of the possibility of retaliation,
however, brought from Senator Pen
rose the comment that sit is the first
time have heard the question of prob
able retaliation so clearly stated"
Predictions of retaliatory measures
also were coupled with strong opposi-
ton and insistent requests for amend
ments to certain sections. Louisiana
sugar growers, led by Senators Joseph
4. Ransdell and Edmond G.. Gay, Of
that state, appealed for protection of
cane sugar, while Bermuda products
of potatoes and onions, through their
trade representatives in New York, OPP
posed inclusion of the two commodi-
ties under tariff levy as now is pro-
vided.
Importers of vegetable oils, through
witnesses from New York and Phila-
delphia and officials of the Foreign
Commerce Association of the Pacific
Coast and SOan MAMMA ctllrerS from
various cities, said that their indus
tries had been developed during the
war and asserted that the tariff, as
proposed would handicap their growth
and might even result in their extinc-
ton through retaliation.

American Razors In Demand.

Despite the increasing popularity of
the safety razor, the old-fashioned
straight razor has more than held its
ground, according to the American cut
lery bureau of information. In the
first six months of 1920 exports of
straight razors alone amounted to
more than 100000, and with later fig
ures now available, it Is safe to re-
port that the total export turning over
will be $1,OOO,OO0 for the year. Our
total straight and safety razor ex-
ports for the fiscal year to
June 80 amounted to more than &c.
100000, the highest amount in one
year ever reached by the industry.
In former years safety razors were
exported almost entirely, but the high
quality of the American straight blade
has awakened a new appreciation in
the foreign trade.

able in View of Statement He
Had Previously Made.

A well known physician of New
York tells why he does not know
whence his ancestors came.
Now, he had always understood that
his ancestors were Scotch-Irish, and
OH the strength of that belief had
prided himself on their royal blood.
Once it occurred to him to go and
have look at the old place whence
they were supposed to have come.
When he arrived at what he believed
was the right district he appealed to
an old Irishman to tell him the exact
spot.
The Celt regarded him much as one
does a crazy man, and then said:

grated from here 200 years ago? Then

them here now?"

CAVE TIGER WORTH HUNTING
Since the Gunner Has Little
Chance to Retreat.

The best caves for hunting and the
only ones the men like to explore have
but one opening, the same for en-
trance and exit. These openings lead
through bottle-necked burrows to the
caves below. To hunt the cave tiger
you must crawl In on all tours through
these winding tunnels, with rifle IN
hand and guided by the flash OF
torches carried by the hunters, one OF
whom goes ahead. You may worm
yourself along through the tunnel in
this manner ten, twenty, even fifty
yards, into, the hillside, your path so
narrow at times that you are COM
PEELED to squeeze yourself between the
rocks. At length you see a black
speck ahead. When this Is lit up
by the torches a cave opens into view.
and then If lucky you will see tiger
crouched against the opposite rock
wall within ten or fifteen feet, his
white whiskers bristllng in snarl of
rage as he blinks at the bright torches
through narrowed eyes. II the tiger
is at home your work Is simple and
you are not bothered by choice OF ac-
ton. Retreat is impossible and you
have but one thing on hand; to kill
the tiger.
A religious festival was absorbing
all the interests Of Ken-ai on my ar
rival and the little temple of the vii
lage where guests usually put up was
being used for joss pidgin, so was
quartered in an ordinary house, writes
William Lord Smith in Scribner's. Tai
koff promptly engaged seven hunters
and, though at first sight they ap-
peared to be only good-natured and
unenthusiastic, they were better con-
ditioned than their comrades and the
older ones bore a reputation for skill
and bravery.
Each man was equipped with
spear and torch. The spear is armed
with three strong iron prongs, the
outer points being 16 inches apart.
This trident is fitted firmly on the end
Of a stout pole three feet long. The
torch, which is even a greater protec-
tiOn than the spear, is made from a
slender piece Of bamboo longer han
the spear, so that the lighted end
projects well beyond the trident when
the torch and spear are held together
In the hands of hunter. The smaller
end Of the bamboo shoot Is gashed
with a knife and old rags woven In
and out among the splinters. When
this wad Is soaked with linseed oil it
Is ready for the match. Five of these
torches light up cave sufficiently
well for shooting, and with spears
make a formidable barrier in the
hands of determined men, which the
tiger will seldom charge unless
wounded.

And He Didn't See the Joke.

The subway train was swaying from
side to side and the passcn niger who
hadn't got a strap to hang onto was
suffering as consequence.
Three times he landed on the lap
of a stout matron, who finally lost her
temper and inquired:
"Here, what are you doing? What
do you call yOurself?"
"Well," came the smiling reply, II
think I must now describe myself as
a lap-lander."
The joke appealed to the matron,
who not only forgave him, but decided
to retain his humor. She tried 1t first
on her husband. Eyes, DEAR" she
said, "three times he landed on my
lap, and when / asked him what he
was he said he was an Eskimo"
