Milk Fed Sons OF Mars.

That milk is for babes and meat for
strong men, has been accepted by
lovers Of good red steak, but the
physicians declare that too many red
steaks destroy the man. Now comes a
writer upon diet TO declare, in a journ-
al devoted to the dairy industry, that
milk makes men, and makes them ter
rible in battle.
The romantic notion that a son I'M
bbes courage at the breast vi a cour-
ageous mother has its grain Of truth.
What he imbibes is milk, and milk is
the foundation of the fighting man.
Why are American soldiers hard fight
NersY
Because, the student Of diet replies.
they live largely upon cows milk in
their youth. In the United States
naval academy, he points out, each boy
in the athletic squad is required to
drink a quart OF milk day. All Of
the boys have plenty of milk.
Thus we produce naval heroes; men
who when the occasion presents itself,
say. Damn the torpedoes, full steam
ahead"

A board of inquiry, representing the
breeders OF dairy stock, should ascer-
tain whether Sergeant Alvin York,
drank in his growing years the milk
of the Jersey. the Holstein, the Ayr
shire. the Brown Swiss. the Guernsey.
or some stalwart mother of beeves,
Shorthorn or a Hereford.
Perhaps, if we should standardize
our cows our soldiers would be even
more superior to those of nations in
which the dairy industry is not as well
developed as it is in America. Let us
find what sort of cows were pastured
upor the commons OF Sparta when that
city needed no walls because her men
at arms served instead.

The Prince Of Wales in India.

I Christmas seems on the whole to
dave passed quietly in Calcutta, with
de exception Of a street fight between
Eurasians and Mohammedans in which
d persons were injured, one Of them
fatally. Even this is said to have no
connection with the visit OF the prince
III Wales, who had quiet Christians
dinner at the government house, but It
probably grew out OF the agitation
nnnected with the visit, and with the
Marital or general strike called by
t3e passive resisters who follow Ma
dhtma. Gandhi.
~ More or less violence was to be ex-
uected because of hot feeling which had

GEORGIA NOW SELLING
INSTEAD OF BUYING FOOD

TIFTON, June lev. w. Webb
of the State Bureau Of Markets, says
he is sure that when reports are in
from the railroads as to the number
of cars of hogs shipped from Geor-
gia to other states, it will be seen
that the tide has turned and instead
of Georgia buying annually $50,O0O,-
600 worth of food products more
than it sells it will be found that
Georgia is selling more food products
than. it buys. Mr.. Webb is collecting
these figures now and will make them
public as soon as they are available.
He is certain that they will prove
Georgia is not only self-sustaining
but has food to spare for its neigh
bors. Of 100000 to $4,000 worth
of hogs sold at cooperative sales
in this state during June Mr.. Webb
says that $4,000 worth are being
shipped to points outside the state.

Mrs Jack Raben Leaves Note
BLAMING Family Relations, But
Not Husband

PLAINS, June 16.-Family trou-
bles of an unknown sort, but not
involving her husband, are blamed
for the suicide at her home one mile

of last Christmas eve. While her
husband was at work about the farm
Mrs. Raben swallowed carbolic acid.

she fell into unconsciousness. A
physician was hurriedly called, but
she soon expired without speaking
again. Later an inquest was held
by Coroner Ed jenkins, of Leslie,
the verdict being suicide.
Two notes were left, one to her
young husband and the other to her
mother. In the note to her husband,
the text of which has not been made
public, she asked him not censure
himself because he was not to blame
for her deed and she loved him, but
animated that family relations were
rot pleasant. The contents of the
note to her mother are unknown.
Mrs. Raben was Miss Sarah Lou
Davis, Of Webster county, near the
Churchill community. She and her
husband made their home within a
few hundred yards of the parents Of
Mr.. Raben, who own the farm on
which they resided.
The funeral of Mrs. Raben was
held this afternoon with interment
in Lebanon cemetery, the services
conducted by Rev. Jason Shirah, pas
ter of the Plains Methodist church.

ByLA VERNE THOMAS

Hundreds Of Americus people and
numbers from nearby towns are in
debted to Weber Smith and Carol
j. Clark, Jr., and all others who par
ticipated in the Legion Minstrel at
the Rylander Thursday nighN for
two and a half hours of the most
pleasing entertainment ever <enjoyed
here. If these two young men, who
produced the play, giving practically
all of their time for three weeks to
the rehearsals, advertising and other
details, ever go into the minstrel
work for life business, then Lasses
White and Neil O'Brien and the 9TH
ers can look out for their laurels.
The people knew something of the
treat that was in store for them for
at noon Thursday every seat had
been sold and over a hundred extra
chairs had been placed and at the
last hour standing room was sold.
The right person was selected for
interlocuter in Evan T. Mathis, Jr.,
who looked and acted his part to per-
fection. In fact, it seems that the
whole show could not have been i'm
proved on.
Splendid Ballads.
he managers were indeed lucky
in securing Miss Vera Henry, little
Kendall Beavers, Gordon Howell, K.
C. Beavers and Robert Berry as So
loists. Miss Henry, singing The
Cali of the Cozy Little Home" was
compelled to answer encore after en-
core, the whole company joining her
in the chorus. "The Want of You,"
by Robert Berry; Those Dangerous
Blues" by Wilbur Giddings; "Ain't
Nature Grand" by Weber Smith;
"Only Rosebud" by Gordon How
ell; I've Got My Habits On" by
Carroll Clark; mo Ones Fool" by
James Davenport, and Wonderful
Mother of Nine" by X. G. Beavers,
and quartet; were all splendid and
appreciated by the audience. Per-
haps the most attractive little" fea-
ture of the performance was Kendall
Beavers, Jr., singing when Frances
Dances With Me-" This tot 7
years of age, attired in a miniature
dress suit, with cane, had never
thought of stage fright. Every word
of his song was understood and when
the entire company joined him in the
chorus, he was heard distinctly above
them all.
Jokes Clever.
The end men, James Davenport.
Wilbur Giddings, 0. B. Biggers, Har-
rold Ahearn, Oswald Speer, Robert

"Mack Senate" Carroll Clark
and "Chilblain Cluefoot" (Welber

Second Part Pleasing.
The second part opened with sew
eral pleasing selections by the new
ly organized Mandolin club composed
of Roy Parker, Egbert Clark, Sam
Hooks and Kendall Wooten, of the
younger set, which were followed
with a monologue by Oswald Speer,
giving one of the best limitations of
negro preaching ever heard here. One
could imagine that a real old-time
negro had been brought in for the
occasion.
Then came the Watson Bell Hops
full of pep, rendering the jazziest
of jazz. They brought down the
house.
When the curtain was raised re-
vealing a real Zululand, the comedy
skit written and produced by Weber
Smith and Carol Clark, some real
shimmying was seen. The audience
is still wanting to know who taught
o. B. Biggers to dance. AS grace
full and 1.-the as the asthetic dancers,
dressed as a Zulu vamp, he danced
for the king" The cast included
MACK Senate" Carroll Clark; Chill

King Muzu," Oswald Speer; "Muzu
Court Herald" Wilbur Giddings;
O. b. Biggers, court dancer; Mar
vim Giddings, the court fool; Harold
Ahearn, the royal cook.
Tots Dance.
A number delighting the audience
was the dainty advertisement Of terp-
sichore artistry by little Misses Flor
rie Warren, Inea Morgan, Baby Ruth
Morgan, years old; Elizabeth Poole,
and Florence Fort, all pupils of Miss
Emma Chapman.
"Dixie's sweetest singers" Kendall
Beavers, Carroll Clark, Robert Berry
and Weber Smith, were exuberant
with harmony, giving several num-
bers between acts.
Prof. NIB. Warren directed the
hurley burlesque on the late fashion
show. Oswald Speer glided across
the stage in an awning stripe sport
tconvict) suit furnished by Judge z.
A. Littlejohn, it was announced, bur
lesquely. The others taking part were
Wilbur Giddings, in a so-called even
ing dress, o. B. Biggers, in an "Alice
Blue Gown, and Robert Slappey
taking off the bathing beauties.
The entire audience will weigh
more today, if laughing makes one
gain.
This splendid program concluded
with an Irish comedy, Maggie
o'Malley." Miss Marie Walker as
Mrs. O'Malley was perfect. With
the acquired Irish brogue, she was
the typical mother of Miss Mary
Dudley, as Maggie 0'Malley, a fac
tory girl, in love with Weber Smith
as Dennis, felt it her duty to try to
catch wealthy Mr.. ]. Pierpont, Jr.,
