In Royal Trim

THE queen sat around on her
throne with nothing to do.
Tha queens attendants
sat around the queens helping
her.
It was . duh day at court
not q breath Of air, not q breath
Of scandal.
Finally, the queen got 50 bored
that she went up to the royal
chambers for a nap, leaving her
ladies-in-waiting to yawn and
twirl their thumbs.
"Gee," sighed one, 'T'm 50
tired Of this royal pomp that I
feel like sticking my head under
the royal pump"
''You said a palace-full," re-
piled another. Nothing to do
but wait, and nothing to wait on
but the queen. And don't even
belong to Q walters union, 30 we
can get time-and-a-half for over
time"
"Say, girls, lets 90 TO work."
said q third. ''When / think that
we're nothing but a bunch Of
royal loafers, It brings the royal
flush to my cheek What do you
say? Let's 60 on strike, and In
sist on our right TO work"
That may be q good idea"
observed the first lady-in-waiting,
'but what are we cut out for.
Interior decorating, plain hem
stitching, or stenography?"
''None Of those occupations ap-
peal to me-" said one Of the
gang.
"She's got the right dope, at
that" said another. "What do
you say girls, let's open a barber
shop?"
"You mean-do the manicur-
ing?"
mix! mean, stand up at the
chairs and flourish the shears.
There are a bunch of courtiers
around this palace that I've been
wanting to trim for long time.
And you don't have to have any
suecial training tn emf q rnaoSa
hair. Look at Delilah."
And so it was decided.
The girls walked out and
planted a striped pole at the
palace gate.
And in the window, they
tackled q sign:
Ladies-in-W Waiting Tonsorial
Parlors. Seven Ladies; No Wait
iins."

DUBLIN, Ga.,-Officials of the Jeff
Davis Highway met in Dublin last
week for an inspection of the propos-
ed Augusta link OF this highway to
run from Abbeville, Ga, to Augusta
by way OF Eastman, Dublin, Wrights-
vile, Louisville. This route is now
prepared to finance all expenses in
cident to making it part of the big
highway, and has soma strong backing.
Historically it is really a portion
OF the Jeff Davis Trail fer when he was
on his last flight, and had left Wash
ington, Ga, he passed through Dub
lin day or two before his capture.
1t was at Dublin that he met and
joined Mrs. Davis and her party that
had come from Augusta travelling the
route the highway will follow, and
their line of travel from Dublin to
Irwinvile was over the exact roads
that are now proposed as a part OF
the highway that will be memorial
to him.

9th the home talent play ''The Sign

Mrs. George Brown whose ability as
director has been tested in the large
number of high school plays she has
managed for many years past has
aroused the zeal of her former stud

vious efforts. The public has never
failed to respond with great interest
to these home talent performances ner
have they failed to get their moneys
worth when attending them.
The play will include three acts and
a number of pleasing specialties in
music and in interpretative dancing
will be given by some of our specially
young people. The popular
prices of SOC and Csc will prevail and
no seats reserved.

Poultry Industry
Helpful To Farmers
81 10000 Estimated Increase in The
Poultry Industry in Georgia

The estimated increase in the poul-
try increase on Georgia farms last
year is estimated at $1.500,OO, the in
cubator capacity in the state being IN
creased in that period from 10000
egg capacity to over 100000 during
the year.
The first car load of poultry shipped
out of Georgia about fifteen months
ago through the cooperative sales
plan has since then reached the large
figure of one hundred and five car
loads-practically money picked up
without any outlay on the part of
most of these producers of poultry
products
The local hatchery which will be in
stalled in time for this seasons hatch
ings, will be of great help to our To-
cal farmers who can have their chicks
Matched comparatively at small cost
and raise the industry in the county
to paying basis. 1t is expected that
the hatchery will start out with full
capacity and be kept up to that during
the winter months.

HATE TEARING VITALS
OF THE OLD WORLD
Coolidge Convinced U. S. Has Been
Wise in Avoiding Entanglements

WASHINGTON, d. C.-President
Coolidge is convinced that the United
States has followed a wise policy in
avoiding entanglements in the CON
troversies of Europe, it was learned
authoritatively at the white house.
Reports made to the president by
observers returned from abroad are
interpreted as confirming the wisdom
of that policy.
Nothing has been revealed Mr..
Coolidge feels, that points toward any
necessity for change in the policy
of non-intervention which has been
followed by the American govern
ment snce a plurality of 100000
American voters pointed the way 8
years ago.
Those who have visited Europe, in
the presidents opinion, have returned
with more acute realization of con-
ditions there. Impressed by the Bit
terness and hatreds of the Old World.
they see all the more plainly that
there is nothing for the American
government to do at this time except
to follow the course already mapped
out.

Wants Hoke Smith
AS Vice-President
Georgia Editor Urges Name of Form
er U. S. Senator on National Dem
ocratic Ticket Westerner For
President

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 30 ''Why
not former U. S. Senator Hoke Smith
of Georgia for vice-president of the
United States on the Democratic tick
et?"
This query has been put by Isidor
Gelders, well-known Georgia editor,
whose paper the Fitzgerald Leader
Enterprise, yields strong influence
in his section of the state.
Editor Gelders takes no stock in
the report that Senator Smith may be
a candidate next year for the U. S.
Senate, running against the present
incumbent, Senator VIM. J. Harris.
who will be forced at that time to en-
ter the political arena as candidate for
a second term. In fact, Senator Smith
himself who was Atlanta recently
hooted at the idea of offering himself
as a candidate for the senate next
year, or any other political office. He
was not preached at that time on the
subject of the vice presidency. His
friends, however, since the Gelders
nomination" of the Senator for the
vice-presidency say the Senator made
it clear that "he was out of politics for
good and all"
Senator Smith has had ali the hon
orS that the State can give him, so
why not run him for the vice-presi-
dency on the democratic ticket with
some progressive Westerner?" tasks
Editor Gelders. ITS been the dream
of the progressive element in the dem
ocratic party for thirty Years to tie up
with the West, whose interests are
identically with ours, and go before
the nation with coalition of the south
and the West.
There would be some chance of sue
cess for Democracy in 1924 with the
solid South backed by the progressive
states of the West"
Senator Smith who has been prac-
ticing law in Washington for several
years, told his Atlanta friends during
his recent visit here, that he expected
to return to Atlanta sometime this
Fall to make his permanent home.
He laid his Washington law office
would be continued by his associates
and that he would open law office
in Atlanta. He is already associated
with his son, Marion Smith, of the le-
gal firm of Little, Powell, Smith and
Goldstein, in a number of important
cases.

Bottles OF ''Pop'
Soft Drinks Are Served Over Count

History omits the description OF
many of the interesting things about
MethuselaA among them his liquid
capacity. But, says the department of
agriculture, if he had been given the
task of disposing of all the pop con-
sumed in this country last year he
would have had to start at birth and
down eight bottles every minute OF
his o6oyear span of life.
Each year the departments statis-

exclusive of such beverages as near
beer made of cereals. The sparkling
food comes from 10000 bottling es-
Establishments and pour across 10000

the first rule of sport, which is keep
your eye On the BALI She believes in
the rule to the point of extreme sac
r1flce-and as a result, she is today
National Women's Tennis Champion,
the youngest ever to wear the crown
Miss Wills won the honor in defeat
ing Americas heretofore greatest wo-
man tennis player, the veteran Nor
weglan woman, Molla BjursteGA NAL
lory who held the title for Years. The
title match played here Saturday was
won by Miss Wills in straight sets,
score 90, OIL.
Now that Miss Wills is speeding to
her far-western home, where next
week she lays aside her tennis racket
to take up studies as freshman in
the University of California, it is in
teresting to know of the singleness of
purpose displayed by this young girl
in her climb to the top.
Miss Wills accompanied by her
mother, came to New York month
before the National Championship play
was scheduled and started a careful
preparation for the big tournament
Then came the minor tournaments
and the usual social round of enter
tainments, dances, luncheons, etc. for
visiting players.
Since Miss Wills rise to the heights
it is recalled that she realized fully
what the title would cost her in per-
sonal sacrifices and was willing to
pay the price. She was never seen
amongst those in attendance at any
of the social affairs. She accepted no
invitations. Instead, she kept regular
hours in dining, sleeping and exercise.
Her campaign was mapped out and
she let nothing interfere
AS much as her young girlish nature
must have craved the social relax and
pleasures, she turned her back on all
invitations and kept only in mind eye
the one thing she wanted most-the
championship She won the champion
ship-won on real ability = ability
backed by physical condition which
was wonderful to behold.
Throughout the full week of play
against the best women tennis PLAYERS
this and the old world could produce,
this II year old girl flashed through
her matches a victorious inspiration
to physical fitness.

pionship match andi tennis authority.
recommended to the mother, Mrs.
Wills, that the study of esthetic dan

between teh counties and it is believed
that the Davis substitute furnishes as
satisfactory a method as can be de-
vised. Even if by any means it should
ever come to pass that the State does
not have to levy ad valorem taxes,
this will in no way alter the necessity
for some method of equalizing values
for county and school taxes There
fore, the Legislature can not afford
to do away with the present law with
out replacing it with another system
of assessing tax values for local pur-
poses"
