big enough to be seen. Values that
hid themselves IN the ore could stay
there. as far as those old prospeceofs
were concerned. The only mining
that seemed paying Job was pocket
mining" in which the gold was found
in pockets" or Kidneys" within the
rock Such gold was az obvious and
as thrilling as that which lined the
creek. and, indeed. was the source OF
those gravel deposits.
1t was so in the early days of the
Klondyke rush. Again they SKINNED
the cream and let the rest go by. ore
that went SIS to the ton-why. that
wasn't worth as much as coal
But things have changed. They're
going after the hidden values now,
the "low-grade ore that, properly
milled and put through the cyanide
process. gives In the aggregate far
greater riches than the sensational
pocket or boom creek.
Somehow 1t seems to me that civil
ization is working along those same
lines. Life didn't held much for the
low.grade masses once upon a tune.
Society passed them by and gave It's
service and honors to the glittering
individuals. If you were rich or wise
enough to stand out from the crowd
tho world was yours. But no one
paid any attention to the countless
chaps who assayed IS to the ton.
But now we're beginning to appre-
ciate the marvellous wealth our fore
fathers neglected. By a thousand
methods we're trying to release man
values to the world. BY better In.
dustrial laws, by conservation OF
health in the child. by vocational
guidance. by improved civic hygiene
by prison reform and the parole sys-
tenn, by equal suffrage. by scientinc
research. we're cyaniding out the
riches of our low-grade human ore.

EFFICIENT HOUSEKEEPING
BY LAURA KIRKMAN.

We, all know how flies settle on the
kitchen ceiling for the night. This is
a good time to catch them. Nail a
tin can. through it's bottom. to the
tin of an old broom handle. Put a
glass of soapy water into the can,
and raise the can up to the ceiling,
putting it over a fly; when you shift
it slightly you will poke the fly and
make him drop into the water. (Kero-
sene may be used in place of the
soapy water if deeired)
Poisoning Fliee.-A poisoned paper
comes for this purpose. to be placed
on a saucer of water. But In a home
where there are small children or pet
animals this method-although 1t is a
good one-had better not be used, be-
cause of the danger of getting the
poison into the mouth OF the child or
the pet.

OUSTED EMPLOYE SUES
PUTNEY FOR 100000

ALBANY, May 29.-Sensational
charges are made in a damage suit
]. C. Fulford, deposed general man
ager of the Albany Hardware and
Mill Supply Co., a big wholesale
firm, has filed against Judge f. f..
Putney, perhaps the wealthiest man
in Dougherty county, asking $780,
600. Mr.. Fulford alleges that Judge
Putney laid a scheme to oust HIM
from the business because it lost
money in 1921, despite the fact that
it had always made money before
that, and that a part of the scheme
was poisoning the minds of the 9TH
er stockholders against Fulford by
assailing his business ability and In
tegrity to the point of charging to
other stockholders that Fulford was
a thief and implying that he had em-
bezzled "some twenty thousand dol
lars of the company's money" which
Fulford denies, alleging that
he was not even indebted to the firm.
Putney, as part of the alleged
scheme, the petition recited, got pos
session of all of Fulford's property,
aggregating $4,000 and including
his home, as security for debts Full
ford owed Putney personally, and
then ousted Fulford. On account of
the extreme prominence of the par
ties the suited created mild sem
sation here.

WAGES SLASHED FOR
100000 WORKERS.

CHICAGO, May 29.-(By the As.
sociated Press More than S48,000,-
600 was slashed from the wages of
100000 railway employees in de-
cision by the United States Labor
Board last night.
The decreases, which averaged
cents per hour in the majority Of
cases, followed cuts of $400, 100000
made last July by the board. The
new decision, however, affects most
ly maintenance of way workers, al
though decisions are pending affect
ing other classifications.
If the wage cuts made in the latest
decision are extended to othed decis-
ions expected soon, it WITS pointed out
in railway circles much of the $780,
100000 increase given by the board
in 1920 will be wiped out and wages
|restored to a level which railway Of
ficials have told the board will lead
to a new era of development ard
open the way to the development of
100000 men.
The decision was signed by the 3
railway members of the board and
the 3 members representing the
public. A dissenting opinion WAS
filed by the three members repre-
senting the labor group. The majority
opinion said that the wage cuts, eff
fective on July l, were made in ac-
cordance with decreases in the cost
of living. The minority opinion con-
tended that the wage scale provided
in the decision was insufficient to
sustain life on the basis of American
standards.
Under the terms Of the decision
the classes designated as Common
labor" and estimated to number some
1877, 400, were cut five cents an hour.
Labor of similar class empoyed
around shops, round houses, yards
and terminals, numbering 1,249, al
so was cut five cents an hour. Draw
bridge tenders and assistants, pife
drivers, ditching and hosting engi-
neers, firemen, cts, were cut five
cents an hour. They number 29, ,74a.

one cent an hour. 1t was emphasized
however, that all of these were mini

HINKLE DEPARTS
FROM COLUMBUS
City Managers Office Declared
Vacant By Wrathy
Board

! COLUMBUS, May 29.-Branding
/ as false the statement by H. Gordon
b Hinkle that the city commissioners
had refused his repeated requests
that he be allowed to "clean house,
the commission Saturday afternoon
in called session adopted resolution
declaring the office of city manager
vacant. Following the meeting Sat
urday, a statement of the commits
sioners was made public, it being
stated that a success to Mr.. Hlnkle
will be named ''as soon as suitable
man can be decided upon"
The action by the commission yes
terday follows the departure from
Columbus early Friday morning of
City Manager Hinkle, who had con-
veyed the idea to Mayor j. Homer
Dimon that he was accompanying his
i'll wife to Altoona, Penn, with the
intention of returning to the city,
according to the statement Of the
commissioners.
The declaration that the office OF
city manager is vacant is based large
ly in the resolution on the statement
made in a letter received by the En-
euirer-Sun Friday from Mr.. Hinkle,
to the effect that the commissioners
during the past five weeks repeated
ly refused to permit him to "clean
house"
This official statement of the COM
mission assures the people of Column
bus that the effort to stamp out law
lessness will be continued and that
everything possible will be done to
restore the good name of our city,
and make it a place in which abiding
citizens may live in safety
The action of the commissioners
yesterday convinces Columbusites
that Mr.. hinkle will not return to
Columbus. The mayor was inform
ed, according to the statement OF
the commissioners yesterday by Mr..
Hinllle before he left, that he was on
ly accompanying his wife to Altoona,
Penn, and it was therefore expected
that he would return to Columbus.
Following the receipt however, of
letter by the Enquirer-Sun from
Mr.. Hinkle, in which dissatisfaction
was expressed and the situation char
acterized as ''intolerable," the COM
missioners met and declared his Of
flee vacant.
Mr.. Hinkle is no longer officially
connected with the city Of Columbus.
The city commissioners said that as
soon as a suitable man can be Sc
cured new city manager will be
appointed. In the meantime howev-
er, it was stated that the people of
Columbus be assured that the af-
fairs of the city will be looked after
in an efficient manner" They as
sert in their statement that they
made public no statement FridJy be-
cause they were "as much in the
dark as the public. Mr.. Hinkle's
plans were not given to the cohmis-
sioners, they asserted.
