lJNLUCKY FARM
VENTURE ENDS
Famous Cycloneta Place, Near
Triton, Closed Out AT
Sheriff's Sale

Triton, Dew. THE sale of a
ut Of farm live stock and farm i'm
elements and machinery by the Sher-
ff today under mortgage foreclos-
,,re proceedings, closes rather tragic
business venture. In 1918, G. b.
rols- anne from Murfreesboro, Ten
neseee. and purchased the Cycloneta
farm. miles north of Triton, from
" A. Greer, of Ashburn, for $685.
AGO. he paid thereon in cash SILL
900 Mr.. Gates did not go on the
farm the firts year he bought it
but located on one-horse farm adj
aiming, and took over the farm the
next wear. He did not make a sue
cess of it, doubtless due to business
conditions and the sale yesterday was
the aftermath. There was large
lot of the stuff and the sale occupied
several hours. The live stock brought
surprisingly good prices, everything
considered.
The Cycloneta farm has an inter-
egting bit of history. When the Geor-
gia Southern & Florida railroad was
built through here so years ago, the
land for this farm, 1900 acres, was
donated by H. H. Tiff, the farm to
be used for experimental purposes.
1t was operated by the management
of the railroad which spent something
like 100000 on it. 1t was equipped
with modern buildings, model ma
chinery and improved live stock, the
latter including two imported Spanish
Jacks. 1t was designed for expert
mentation work to develop South
Georgia's soil and resources. For
many years it was the show farm of
the state. When the. railroad was
sold by the receiver the. farm was sold
10 George F. ODER & Sons, of Balti-
more, who later sold it to James F.
Cobb, of Cordele. 1t passed through
several hands before reaching W. A..
Greer to whom it now reverts.
The name Cycloneta was derived
from the fact that a cyclone passed
there in 1882, and laid The timber
waste. The farm contains 1000
acres of the finest farming land in
South Georgia, but appears to be I'M
lucky.

I7g'l', I'. "

This city is to be favored Friday,
Dee. 2, by a visit from one of
Americas foremost dramatic stars
and the event is easily the most con
spicuous of the season.
Reference is made to the coming
of Jane Cowl in 'Smilin' Through"
new play by Allan Langdon Martin.
In it Mr.. Martin has afforded Miss
Cowl dual roles of exceptional va
riety, blending that tender pathos in
which the brilliant star is past mis-
tress with whimsical humor in which
she is equally appealing. The story
is one of the most unusual ever cold
in the theater. It's dominating ro-
nance follows the straight narrative
form of usual dramaturgy as long as
the tale remains in the present tense,
but when the thought of the central
figures embraces scenes of dim and
distant past that thought is visualiz-
ed on the stage for the benefit of the
audience. This story within story
presents Miss Cowl in lovely bridal
gown of the hoop-skirted period, a
creation of exquisite old lace and
orange blossoms, but when she an.
pears as the twentieth century prod
uct of Erin she is afforded the oppor-
tunity of wearing the smart frocks of
the hour in a Characterization that is
threaded throughout with delight
ful whimsical humor. The scene of
the tragedy of Monyeen Glare and the
later romance of Kathleen DUNCAN
non is an English garden designed
and executed by Joseph Urban. We
see it as it is today, and again as it
was fifty years ago, a remarkably
beautiful setting in both instances.

COUNTY OFFICIALS
BROUGHT IN A STILL

Sight seers from all parts of the
county have been interested in a still
raided by the county officials last
Saturday and loaded onto a truck
and brought to Guymon. 1t was loca-
ted on a farm three and one-half
miles south and one mile west of
Hooker, and belonged to Noah Will
hite. the tenant on the farm. County
Attorney Mark Adams and County
Judge FRITZ got information about
the existence of the still while look
ing after official business in Hooker
recently and issued a search warrant.
A message was sent Sheriff Leeman
and he and Deputy Jas. Lille drove
up to Hooker Saturday afternoon.
They found White in motion pic
ture show there and notified him of
their mission.
White manifested great surprise
that such a suspicion could exist and
told the officials that he would pilot
them all out to make an investigation
of his property. He had Ford car
and said he would run around to a
garage and fill with gasoline and for
the party to join him there, and fol-
low him to his place. The Sheriff's
party followed instruction, but got
behind the wrong Ford car, for on
overtaing it, they discovered it was
driven by a well known farmer and
that White had given them the slip.
The Sheriff's party continued to
the farm, and found the still, which
consists of several barrels that were
filled with mash, big boiler, big
tank and long copper pipe, and con-
tainer. It looks like very bungle-
some affair. but the party started the
fire under the boiler and found that
it did the work, and had capacity
of about thirty gallons of very poor
grade of corn and maize whisky per
day, so they loaded it on a'truck and
brought it to Guymon.
White came to this county from
the mountains of Tennessee. His
wife, whom the officers located at the
farm, disclaimed any knowledge of
the still which was located in an old
milk house on the premises claiming
she had never entered the room or
been interested in its contents. Up
to-date the officers have no trace Of

CITY COLLECTED MANY
FINES PAST 20 DAYS

The report of Police Judge Hub
bard when read at the meeting Of
the council last night resembled that
of some large city, and was quite a
surprise to the councilmen.
According to the report there have
been thirty cases, in which fines were
assessed during the past twenty days
or since the administration Of Chief
of Police Swartz and Police Judge
Hubbard
While little is said of police court
arrests it is plain to be seen that
someone has been "getting his" with
the result that there will likely be
more wholesome respect for the laws
of the city in the future.
We understand that a couple Of
parties. whose names we did not
learn, were arrested and fined few
days ago, for matching pennies. It is
hardly safe matter to break city
ordinance these days and all had bet
ter watch their step.

THE WIFE

What utter rot 1t is to be told that
a bill introduced in the Kansas legis-
lature by woman member provides
that wife may assume the status
of an employee in her own home and
that this, under the Tate workmen's
compensation act, would entitle her
to damages for injuries sustained in
the performance of her housework.
That under the proposed measure the
husband becomes the employer.
It is argued that recognition of
homework as labor. and as fraught
with hazard at that, is certainly COM
ing on. After centuries in which
wives have burned and sprained and
famed and wrecked themselves and
still been held mere idle parasites,
feeding upon their laboring husbands,
this measure is revolutionary.
1t is not only revolutionary but the
entire idea is repugnant. A wife
F, Is her husbands helpmate. In a way
of speaking, she is his co-partner. He
has his duties to perform and she has
hers. If either one fails, accord
ing to their respective abilities Of
health of mind and body and duty,
the one so failing is a Stacker. The
woman who would allow herself to
be employed" by her husband ought
to feel ashamed Of herself and the
man who would employ his wife Il
less incapable Of approaching the
(, s.aties of q husband. Every husband
should support his wife in the best
manner possible to him. Every woman
should help her husband to the best
Of her ability. This new school Of
thought, contemplated in that pro-
posed Kansas law, Is utterly disgust
ing. Gainesville. Florida, Sun.
