whelming victory wo at the polls last Wednesday.
The increased tax rate carried by vote of six to
one.
The existig condition in Quitman is not unlike
the situation in Marietta and as result additional
expense was imposed. The increased cost could not
be met without greater tax rate and the additional

is also need of additional teachers
The Free-Press, commenting on Quitman schools,

Qutpan's schools have improved very much. Ten
years ago fine graded school building of red brick
completed modern in every respect Two years
ago the schools became so crowded it was necessary
to secure another building and last fall the high

BOB WHITE-BUG DESTROYER

Every shot fired at the bob whites that winterng
in your fields is short your pocketbook QuailS de-
sroy millions of alternating bugs that would otherwise
awake next spring to fall hungry upon the products of
field and garden.
while you fight the bugs redouble your efforts to
increase bob white quails, says A. c. Buril of the
Missouri College of Agriculture. "They are said to eat
from 500 to 1000 bugs at meal and their stomachs
another meal two hours At least this is the
usual rate of digestion in nsect-eatng birds Quas
are the only wild birds which specialize bugs in the
winter season."
ITO protect the bob white the effective plan is for
several farmers to cooperate and publish notice in
the county papers forbddng hunters to shoot oua on
Their premises This has been done successfully
raj Missouri communities Many county papers already
are running such notices properly drawn up by LAWYER
and kept standing in the paper throughout the hunting
season. In such cases, the publisher will add the name
OF any farmer in the county and keep there for say
so cents for the season.
Protect the quails they will fight your battles for you

TYPHOID TAKES A
TOLL OF 7S9 IN
GEORGIA FOR 1922
State Board of Health Says Dis
ease Can Be Easily Prevented
by use of Vaccine

The Georgia State Board of Health
sending out timely warning on the
necessity to use typhoid vaccine to
reduce the toll this disease is taking
annually. The information is given
that 789 Georgia people died from
typhoid fever in 1921, and yet this
disease is preventable and the pro-
tective measure is simple and mex
pensive. The State Board of Health
authorities issue the following state
ment:
Typhoid fever was responsible for
more deaths in the United States du-
ring 1921 than in 1920. From 1913
Ethrough 1920 the death rate had de-
clined each year and the prevalence
of this disease was, in many sections,
of bat slight Importance. Many
communities has begun to feel that
this disease was a condition of by
gone days only. For this reason the
citizens, no doubt, began to lessen
their efforts to protect themselves
and IN the time of their unprepared-
ness typhoid came in and stole many
of the people.
In Georgia alone 789 victims were
claimed by this disease during 1921.
The prevention of typhoid fever isl
simple and inexpensive. To fail tOI
acquire protection by means of anti
typhoid incubation is exceedingly
Iunwise.
Your State Board of Health pre-
pares the vaccine and sends it free toI
any citizen of the state. Each per-
son IS warned not to delay in secur-
ing this easy and certain method of
protection"
