vator charge of 2h cents per bushel

partment of agriculture for the mar
'keting of the 1922 crop. Notices of

With the death of Mrs. C. l.. Crane,

'.IfI Could Only
Get up that Gas
KNOW / WOULD FEEL BETTER

How often have you felt that way?
How often have you wished for some
thing to give you genuine and lasting
relief from gas?
Don't buy any ordinary dyspepsia
tablets for temporary results. Go to
a first class drug store and ask for a
bottle of genuine Baalmaan's Gas Tab
lets. Take three an hour before meals
and again three after eating-then
watch. Now a surprise. No
more gas, no more smothered feeling,
no difficult breathing, no bloating.
Remember, Baalmaan's Gas Tablets
are not only for the relief of gas, but
also for the prevention OF gas. Most
people with gas suffer from
dvsnepsia-not common Indigestion.

Risk Death in Midair in
Vain Effort to SaOe Dog
Owners Order Animals Shot After
Heroic Attempts at Rescue.

STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga.-After
their owners had several times risked
death dangling in midair at the end OF
400-foot rope in efforts to rescue
them, two fox hounds which had be-
come imprisoned in a crevice far
down the side of Stone Mountain were
shot today to save them from starva-
ton. Thousands of people, gathered
to witness another attempt at rescue,
saw the sacrifice instead.
The dogs went over the edge OF
the gigantic rock Thursday while
chasing a fox and slipped with but
slight injury into crevice several
hundred feet down the side. w. O.
and Ronald Nenable, owners OF the
dogs, procured ropes and on Friday
let themselves off into space in an ct
fort to reach the crevice. The effort
was repeated Saturday despite high
wind which swung the figures at the
end of the long rope to and fro against
the face of the rock, rising sheer from
the surrounding country.
The attempts were abandoned tnal-
" and the assistance of an expert
marksman from Fort Mcpherson was
secured to bring quick end to the
suffering dogs.
