FEDERAL GAME LAW
VIOLATOR Is FINED

That it is becoming a serious mat
ter to violate the Federal Migratory

fact that a violator in New Jersey Was
recently fineil 5000 and sentenced to
10 days in Jail for killing wild geese
after the close of the Federal open
season the geese were killed during
the latter part Of February. whereas

Weather Still Too Dry For Good
Crops In Most Sections of State
Ben Hill County Is One of Few
Favored Sections Where
Rains Have Fallen

ATLANTA, Ga, June 29th-Very
hot, sunny weather prevailed during
the week, with local showers, generally
light and very poorly distributed, so
that the greater part of the state is
still suffering from severe drought.
Where showers fell some improve
took place in all crops, but the areas
covered were relatively very small, and
the drought is now causing all crops
to deteriorate rapidly, except cotton,
which is able to withstand drought
well. Where showers fell cotton
made some improvement, but the
bulk of the crop made out little
growth and is still quite small. The
cotton crop is everywhere clean and
we'll cultivated and is fruiting to the
northern Limit, but boil weevils are
attacking squares almost as soon as
formed. Early and upland corn is
firing badly; lowland corn is fair;
INC Nolh NlOP ID duout iaiu ny, II
will be failure without general rains
soon. 1t has been too dry for peas
planted in stubble land to come up
well. Early sweet potatoes which
have covered the ground with vines
are doing well; where there were
showers transplanting continues.
Peanuts, sugar-cane, rice, and sor-
ghum need rain and are not making
good growth, Pastures and gardens
are in poor condition. Shipments of
peaches and melons continue. Cen
cral rains are badly needed through
out Georgia.

Freed From Charge
Did Not Violate Law in Forcing Mr..
Jones to Undergo Examination

]. L. Sharpe, state fire marshal,
and Herman p. Ruthenberg, detec-
tive, were freed from charges of
malicious arrest and malpractice in
office by Judge Fred M. Powers and
Judge D. P. Adams at justice court
commitment hearings yesterday. The
prosecution, which was instituted by
Mr.. R. L. Jones, failed to sustain the
charges made in the warrants.
The warrants were sworn out by
Mr.. Jones as result OF his cross
examination by Mr.. Sharpe against
his will in regard to the recent Lock
EFT Motor Company fire which the
fire marshal's department is investi-
eating. The fire is said to have been
of incendiary origin.
An imposing array Of legal coun
sci took part in the commitment
hearings yesterday For the prose-
cution were Attorneys Eldridge
Cults, Charles w. Bussell, Solicitor
General J. B. Wall. For the defense
were Attorneys Alex Mcdonald and
George Harris, Jr., of Atlanta.

Plan To Make Cuts
All Down The Line
Only Way To Put the State Out OF
The Financial Hole

ATLANTA, June 28th-The subs
tance OF the conference held this af-
ternoon between Gov. Hardwick, the
heads of state departments having to
do with collection or disbursement of
money, President Clay and Speaker
ell, and men who will be on the ap-
preparations and finance committees
i'll the Legislature, is that fundament-
ally Georgia is sound, but, unless some
corrective economy measures are ap-
piled the state will be at least $1,000,
600 i'll the hole by this fall And will
be in worse condition next year.
The conference lasted the better
part of three hours and arrived at a
decision that all appropriations will
have to be cut, salaries Of various
state officials will be reduced, more
revenue will have to be raised from
some source and the plan advanced
for funding the rental on the Western
and Atlantic Railroad will be adopted
President Clay of the Senatt took
the position that the first step in an
economy program should be a reduc-
ton of salaries of officials and mem-
bers Of the legislature and that follow
ed by Systematically going through
the whole appropriations list and shaw
ing them all down, which was the plan
Governor Hardwick, sitting at the
head OF the table, kept notes of the
various expressions of opinion and en-
tered sharply into the exchanges and
cross-fire of fuestions and answers
which seemed to get thoroughly into
every anggle OF the states vnances.

Ben Hill land VALUES ARE MORE THAN DOUBLE
Fifteenth Anniversary of Fitzgerald
Fire Department Passed Yesterday
Paid Fire Force Organized 1906,
Wilkerson Chief, Baptist
Church First Fire

June 30th, 1921 was the fifteenth
anniversary of the birth of the Fitz-
gerald Fire Department as a paid or
ganization with regular fire fighters
on duty all the time. Chief w. C.
Wilkerson has been chief since that
date with the exception of seven or
eight months when an upheaval in
local politics put another chief in
office for short period until the coun-
Gil was forced i'll the interests of the
safety OF the city to call Chief Nilll-
erson back into service.
The department received its "bap-
tlsm OF fire" fifteen years ago today
when lightnening struck the stccple
OF the old Baptist church, a frame
building about one-third the size of
the present structure, that stood on
the northeast corner of Main and Mag
nolia. The fire was extinguished by
the new organization after the steeple
had gone up in smoke aad splinters.
Since the Baptist church fire, the
first one, the department has an
swered 1,050 alarms in the fifteen
years of its existence to date, an av-
erage of only seventy per year or
about three every two weeks. The
FIRE loss has been small for cities of
this size.
The department has been motor
lied since 1915. One fire engine
truck and one truck a light speedster
for the chief now carry the fire fight
ers into action when the big wild cat
whistle at the power house walls out

The fifteenth anniversary passed
quietly yesterday. The boys haven't

New Firestone Tire Is
Universal In Adaptation
Casing Causes Sensation In Truck
Circles, Because It's A Wonder

Considerable local interest has been
aroused over the new type of truck
tire on display at E. L. Dorminy Mo-
tor Co., and the Fitzgerald Overland
Co., the Firestone Agencies. The
new tire has caused quite a sensation
in tire and truck circles.
1t seems that from general opinion
based on the performance of the diff
ferent cushion tires on the market,
there is an impression that cushions
can only be used on small trucks.
The new Giant Cushion completely
overthrows this theory for it can be
adapted to any size truck from three
fourths of ton to seven and one-half
tons. Also it can be used in every
type of service Firestone experts sav
According to Mr.. Dorminey and
Mr.. Sigh, the larger volume of rub
1-, cxtr2 width of tread and larger
contact Oh the road, gives a low pres
s"rc and strain on the tire which
makes Il gc"erate less heat and live
.oi - They further point out that
this new G.cnt Cushion with its cups,
grooves and cross bars makes nom
skid tread is nearly perfect as can be
in tire without air Together with
the familiar Firestone cushion shape
these features keep down the tendency
OF the tires edges breaking off, COM
mon with solids due to abuse by op-
orators.
Being OF S. E. A. Dimensions, built
to carry heavy loads and able to pro-
tect the roads from abuse it is no
wonder that production is already
falling behind the sales of this new
Giant Cushion.
