For His Travel

Most Shetland ponies lead very
tame and quiet life. The majority of
them frolic with the children and
consider themselves very lucky if
they get to make a trip over five
miles from home. But this is not so
in the case of 'Tiny", the little four
year old pony, of Mr.. Len Baldwin.
Tiny is only 40 inches high, weighs
only 230 pounds and is only years

Man TO Be ELECT
Ed FROM COUNTYAT
LARGE BY PEOPLE
Rigid Enforcement Of CompulsO-
ny School Law in Cobb Co.
County urged by Jury


In the presentments Of the Grand
Jury for the past session of the Su-
perior court several important rec
concentrations are noted. The first
and foremost Of these is that the
grand jury wants to go on record as
avoring the one man commission for
this county. They point out that one
man, on the job all the time, is in
% better position to look after the
county affairs than FIVE men giving
part time. They recommend that he
be elected from the county at large
~ all the voters Of the county.
The jury also favored the compul-
ory school attendance law and rec
lmlnended that the proper officers in
the county see that the law is enforc
ed here. Another important recon-
mendation is that each Militia Dist
riot have a separate board Of equal
izers.
Among the conditions that needed
looking into was the finances Of the
county. They point out that the
county is entirely too far in debt and
some measures should be taken to
remedy this. From inspection it was
found that the convict camp was the
county's greatest expense. The grand
jury recommended that the speeding
on our county highways be stopped
by the proper authorities and that
the offenders be brought to Justice.
The complete recommendation
follow:

GOLD
NO SENECURE
Bv HENRY l.. FARRELL

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Feb. 8.-Gold pick
ing in Europe isn't the soft thing a
lot of American boxers imagine.
Jack Dempsey, Johnny Wilson,
Johnny Kilbane and others who want
to put their precious crowns on ex-
hibition in France and England for so
much a head, probably will give all
their ears to Johnny Buff, when he
gets back.
The little bantam weight champion
who went to England with plans to
stay all summer, is on his way back.
He was there only a few weeks.
Probably he learned that the British
sports don't speak in large sums.
Notice already has been served
that the London fight fans will not
fall for another Dempsey Carpenter
fight, although they admit that they
would like to see the champion
against some other worthy opponent.
When they heard that Kearns had
branded the Brady offer of 100000
as too trivial to consider, they will get
the idea of how difficult it will be to
get the champion against a worthy
opponent
Ever since Kilbane beat Danny
Frush, regarded as a home product
in England, the London papers have
been shooting at the featherwelght
champion.

Nobody has ever seen the vagrant

some progress in it's chosen direction.
Hence the said scientists, headed by
Professor Andrew C. Lawson. of the

scientific cops to guard the peak, and
ascertain just how and when it moves,

A Flour Expedition

colored and one time cabaret enter
tainer, no later than A this morning
thought himself burglar Of high de-
gree. Joe now has some doubts.
Late last night the warehouse OF

first reported for work.
Then the broken door was discov-
cred and finally the three. 10O-pound
sacks of flour. Chief of Police Bouch-
er was notified and started out on the
trail.
It was found that the burglar had
wheeled the 900-pound express truck
up to the door of the warehouse and
then loaded lot of flour onto the
truck and wheeled it away.
1t must have taken him half the
night to get away with the goods;
for it was across New Town on the
Mexican side of the line where the
river bottoms are heavy with sand,
where Wilson and the flour were
found. Anyway about daylight the
Mexican authorities with the assist
ance q: Calexico's chief of police,
landed on his cache as he was about to
store the flour away for future use.
The officers made Wilson haul the
goods back on the same truck that ne
carried it away on. After the re-
turn trip was made to the, Mexican
customs house Wilson was lodged IN
Jail in Mexicali.
The Mexican customs authorities are
holding the flour, but they are gong
to turn it over to the Globe Mills
American owners.
