TRAIN FOE BIDS FOR WIFE

Georgian.
Tom Frazier, Flowery Branch's
marshal, will not stay out Of print.
Three weeks ago he became fam
GUS when he arrested several engin
eers of the Southern Railroad on the
charge of whizzing through the city,
in defiance of the six-niae speed law
enacted by the City Council, and in
contempt of warnings by the said
marshal.
Now, he would get married, if the
right girl would let her identity be
known. The requirements for this
girl, as listed by the enterprisine
marshal Saturday are: Small feet,
pretty, does not roll her stocking.
and willing to send him, photo.
graph taken in a one-piece bathing
suit.
In return, he offers a home, par
lor, plenty of pots and pan and food,
sewing machine and baby carriage.
Anent speeders, the constable
stated he had quite a reputation Of
making arrests, having been United
States deputy marshal for three
years, policeman for Hoschton, Ga,
for the same length of time, and
now has nothing but a career to be
proud of, behind his activities in
Flowery Branch.
IL cleaned out Hoschton," he said
and if you don't believe it, 60 there.
If you don't find it as quiet as death,
I'll eat my hat"
As a matter OF civic pride Tom re-
sented remark of Engineer Birdine
whom he came to Atlanta to arrest,
to the effect that Howery Branch
was a hog vralow and a cattle pen.
"The ruling minds Of FQowery
Branch decided six miles an hour
was aplenty of speed for these
trains to go through town." he said,
"and remarks from a fresh engineer
won't keep me from enforcing the
law, even if he does live in a city,

COLLECTING WEEVIL-
PUNCTUREO SQUARES

Clemson College, June 2l.-Will
it pay to collect punctured squares?
is a question now being asked by cot
tom growers in the boil weevl coun.
ties.
1t will, say the. entomologists, if
the labor is sufficiently low priced
and the collecting is done early in
the fruiting season. But fifty cents
per hundred suggested by correspon-
dents is too high under the present
conditions. Frequently we have paid
25 cents per hundred profitably in
normal times, but even that figure
is too high at the present price of
cotton apd the correspondingly high
er prices of other commodities. a.
er prices of other commodities. A.
bout the best plan to reduce cost to
q minimum is to get women and
children interested who have an in
terest in the crop. ..
Collecting squares should begin
about week or ten days after the
first blooms appear. If one fails to
thoroughly pick the squares from
the squares from the ground, to-
gether with those dried on the plants
as we'll as those that show discolora-
ton or flaring, then the work is like
~ to be unprofitable. Ordinarily. col
lecting should be done about once a
week for a period of six weeks.
Whatever else may be done, cul-
ture should not be neglected. The
crop must be pushed as rapidly as
possible. ., .. -.

WORLDS STRONGEST MAN

ljConey Island, N. Y, June 2l.-"]
do anything / really want to do, but
1 never go the limit" said Warren
Lincoln Travis, strongest man or
earth in explaining his meteoric rise
from sickly youth.
Travis is modest. He doesn't boast
But he is proud that he has sue
ceeded in defeating the three other
great strong men, Eugene Sandow,
Arthur Saxon and Louis Cyr. Travis
' is older than all bhree but he possess
es their combined strength. .,..
Pinned to his leopard skin gildle
is ! $4,000 Liberty Bond. Any man
can have it at q moments notice, or
any woman boo, If he or, she can
meet the tests Of strength that
Travis performs daily.
"I was born on the East Side OF
New York; practically reared in the
gutter" says Travis. II was sickly
and weak. Had nosebleeds and hem.
orrhages several times a day. ]
couldn't study; could't learn. l had
no will power.
$50 they took me out Of school
and got better. We kids used to
dare each other to do stunts There
was an old truck near our house and
Idiscovered / could push it 10 feet
If / grabbed hold of the tailboard in
O. certain way. The other kids
, couldn't bulge. That made me proud
and gave me sef-con6dence. ,
HSef-confidence and the ability to
bluff yourself into doing anything
You want to do is nine-tenths Of sue
cess.
.eThe more / exercised the strong
er / became. That's how I won out" )"
ssWhat do you mean, about never
going the limit?" -, ..
"Every mans capacity in every
thing he does is limited" he answer
ed. "He can smoke only SO much,
work only SO much, drink. only so
much, eat only so much. IF he goes
the limit of his capacity in any one
Of these things, he will break down.
Ifshe will go only two-thirds of his
limit he will bank up energy, like a
storage battery, will discharge itself.
sThe whole thing is, don't 60 to
excess o.: -
ABut, you Just lifted Is men hav-
ing combined weight of $500
pounds, and you didn't seem to ex-
ert yourself. How did you acquire
such strength" ! ..~ -. -. ~
Il began lifting one man several
times day. When I found could
lift three men ] stuck to two until ]
could easily lift five, then I practiced
lifting four, and so on" .i.. .
eDo you live on special diet?"
'eNo," he said, ''but let me give
you some good advice. Eat less; in
stead Of drinking coffee, drink tea
(if you must have stimplant) !;
laugh all the time; wear loose cloth
ing, loose collars, comfortable shoes.
Keep your teeth in first class shape;
sleep nine hours a day."
Travis is fond Of ice cream and
sweets. He eats a quart Of: the for
mer and several pounds Of the latter
daily. he says they agree with him
because they put on flesh, and his
violent exercise burns it up; thus he
is kept in trim.
He refuses to worry and he will
not get excited.
As a result Of this system Of living
he can defeat six horses In q tug Of
war; he can tear 1200-page direct
DRY, in half, and his fondest exercise
is to play around wi ith q 400
pound dumb b-bell.

Here's Prize Yarn
OF Duck Season At
Its Very Opening

There's only one thing to be done
Right here at the very opening OF
he duck season. the palm must b.
handed to Emmett Barton and
Henry Geckler for what promises
10 be the prize story of the season.
This is not only duck but a fish
story as we'll
Here's the scenario: Barton and
Ieckler were out early this morn
'ng putting a car through its
,aces. They were speeding along
near pond when they noticed some
duck padding around near the op-
positc shore. They stopped the BEN
zine cart, made detour on foot
slipped up on the unsuspecting duck
knocked one down with club
breaking the birds wing, and cap
turing it alive. Barton was then
standing on a log at tho edge OF the
water and upon seeing a fish nos
ing along near the log, he dived
into the water and waen he CAM
up, be held the two pound Crappie
in his hand. They brought the duck
and fish to town as exhibits to sub.
stantiate their yarn.
Wherefore, unless theirs is some
objection, a quit claim deed to the
rabbit will be made out in their
favor as spinners of the best yarn
to date.
