PEACH GROWERS FIGHT
NEW KIND OF PESTS

FORT VALLEY. March 20
Peach growers of the state are be-
ing urged by the state and federal

rot, to destroy the wild plum
Wild plum trees are a menace to

furnishing cultivated commercial or
chards with three Of the most serious
pests of the peach They furnish
food and breeding quarters for the
curculio, breeding quarters for the
San Jose scale, and are sources of
dissemination of brown rot spores.
The establishment of these peach
pests in many orchards Of Central
Georgia is traceable to nearby plum
thic6ets where unmolested pest
breed conditions have been furnished.
THE wild plum is now in full
bloom and can easily be located. 1t
is the duty of each peach grower to
see that these bushes are grubbed out
Immediately. Show the proper. com
munity spirit by giving this matter
the proper attention and thereby
make Central Georgia a safer place
in which to grow peaches.

DISCUSS WHIPPING
SUBSTITUTE IN PRISON

ATLANTA, Marcn 2l.-Approxi-
mately 500 convict wardens and
county commissioners of the state are
for the discussion with members of
the Prison Commission Of some dis
ciplinary measure that can be used
in the camps of the state as a sub
stitute for whipping.
Members 6 TIE commission have
expressed the belief that virtually
every county in the state that uses
convict labor will be represented at
the meeting.
No probable substitute for the lash
has been suggested, however, it is
stated
Some of the counties have pre-
scented formal charges against CEN
victs violating the rules of the in
stitution to such an extent as to be-
come liable for another breach of the
law, thus having their sentence ex-
tended, it is said
In several such cases the convicts
are reported to have asked their war
dens to whip them instead of taking
such action as Would lengthen their
sentences.
The discussion will open tomor-
row morning at 10 O'Clock it is stated
and the time will be devoted to a
general exchange Of views on the
matter in an effort to devise some
method Of Punishment toTeplace the
custom Of Whipping. 3ae

Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to
Take Salts to Get Rid of
Toxic Acid.

Rheumatism is no respecter of age,
sex, color or rank If not the most
dangerous of human Affections it is one
Of the most painful. Those subject to
rheumatism should eat no sweets for
awhile, dress as warmly as possible,
avoid any undue exposure and above
ALL drink lots of pure water.
Rheumatism is caused By uric acid
or body vase matter, and is often gen
Grated in the bowels and absorbed into
the blood. Git is the function of the
kidneys to Elter this poison from THE
blood and cast it out in the urine the
pores of the skin are also a means
of freeing the blood of this impurity.
In damp and chilly, cold weather the
skin pores are closed thus forcing the
kidneys to do double work. they become
weak and Nsluggish and fail to elimi-
nate this, toxic acid, which keeps aC-
CIRCULATING and circulating through the
S em, eventually settling in the joints

and pain, called rheumatism.

TWICE FAILURE IN
AMERICAN LEAGUE
Babe Pinelli Now Rated Among
Top-Notchers In National
Aggregation

Baseball produces many unusual
situations. >
The case of Babe Pineli. star
third sacker of the Cincinnati Reds
is a good example.
Just at present third base is a de-
hatable spot in the Detroit infeld.
Bobby Jones and Fred Hanev will
fight it out for the regular berth.
A few years ago Pinelli was a
member of the Detroit squad. He
was tried out at third at various
times and finally sent back to the
minors as a trifile shy big league
class. In justice to Pinelli, however.
4 should be stated that he dIGn't
the opportunity his ability de-
Wed The moment he slumped in
his work he was benched.
Last fall the Chicago club paid
something like 100000 for Willie
Eamm to the San Francisco club of
the Coast League. Kamm is ex-
pected to star at third base for the
Chicago White Sox.
Prior to getting a chance with De-
troit, Pinelli was tried out by the
White SoX. AS at Detroit he never
received very thorough trial.
After being twice passed to the
minors by American League clubs
Pinelli is resurrected for the third
time as a big league possibility and
makes good at Cincinnati.
When it is remembered that
Pinelli succeeded Heine Groh at
Cincinnati, rated one of the best
third sackers in the business, his hop
to fame is all the more praiseworthy.
PinelG, twice a failure in the
American League, in one year wins
a place in stardom as a National
Lacquer.
All Of which merely proves that
you can never tell in baseball.

AGAINST BUILDERS
Following Investigation Of Sec
rotary Weeks-Building Costs
Too High

WASHINGTON, March 20.-Un-
Gle Sam is. going on strike against
soaring prices in the building trades
Following an investigation extend. :
ing over many weeks, in which facts |
gathered indicate great initiation in j
/ building costs, authorities in con-
troll of government work are prepar-
ing to report to the president recon-
mending all government construction
work be stopped until costs are de-
flated at least to the level of one
year ago.
Figures on hand show cost of
brick house today is 10 per cent
higher than in January, 1922; that
a frame building today costs IA per
7 cent more than one year ago, and
that factory construction costs are
20 per cent above January, 1922.
AS compared to pre-war costs,
brick houses are up 1875 per cent,
frame 1919 per cent and factory
buildings 1876 per cent.
The unhealthy condition in the
building trades, due to initiation, i;
declared to be the one serious situe
alton in the outlook for 1928.
Unless the initiation can be curb.
ed, it is feared another general strike
by the building public will result
with the stoppage of virtually all
construction work. This would bring
hardship to the whole manufacture
ING and industrial structure.
The calling off of ali government
construction work will be recon-
mended as the best means of check
ing furtheE inflntion and at the
same time providing a method OF
preventing a precipitate break in in.
dustry generally, which would be dis
astrous.
Should the public follow the gov
ernmenTs lead by calling off con.
struction work the government could
step in, whenever prices got down to
q reasonable and sane level, and
by resuming construction prevent
entire decentralization.
In formulating the report on
building initiation, it will be pointed
out that prices have continued to
rise steadily after the entire indus
try has been endangered.
In the present situation, with vol
ume of building at the maximum and
all building industries working full
time, there is virtually no c6mpeti-
ton and no factor of restraint on
: soaring prices.
Unless the situation can be
brought strikinglv to the industry's
attention and deflation begun before
the public declares a building strike,
the whole industry, government au-
,thorities state, is in danger Of walk
ling over a Brecipice. F 0faG ls
III A builders strike, with sudden
general cessation of building, would
cause she whole Industry TO bring
UP on the rocks.
A sample of what is ahead if
prices keep going higher viii be pro-
vided, therefore, as an illustration
to the industry, by suspending gov
ernment construction work
