Roasting Ears by Carload.
From the Augusta Chronicle.

Roasting ears by the carload is not an
every day sight, even in Georgia. The story
of one of these shipments, as given in the
Laner County News the other day, is very
attractive.
THE depot platform presented a busy
scene, fourteen men and boys being employ
ed all day sorting, trimming and Grating the
snowflake roasting ear corn brought in by
fifteen growers to make up carload" says
the News. "The work was supervised by
Julian Mackey, of Valdosta, and J. R. Kra-
mer, northern buyer. The expense of pack
ing came to 80 cents per crate, and crate
holds from to dozen ears of corn, accord
ing to size Messrs. Mackey and Kramer
offered to buy the carload at ST per crate;
that is 63 cents net. The carload was finally
sold in the afternoon to w. L. Miller at
$1O5 per crate. 1t is expected that another
joint carload will be made up next week
R. E. Carter expects to have whole car
load of his own by that time"
Quite number of south Georgia farmers
have here of late gone into the shipping OF
roasting ears, and they find it very profitable

DRASTIC ACTION DEMANDED.

Nine licenses were taken from mo-
florists in the state of Massachusetts, in a
single day because of the human slaughter on
the public highways. The total of licenses
revoked or suspended in that state for the
month of June was 1856, and the grand total
for the year thus far is 1902 That many
tor cars because the state registrar had been
convinced that they were not safe as oper-
ators of such swift moving vehicles.
1t would seem from the statement made
by the Massachusetts, registrar in explana-
ton of the revocations and suspensions that
the action taken was fair and just. The state
ment reads:
The number of serious accidents on
our highways is increasing so rapidly in
the last two months that drastic action
must be Immediately taken. In the past
10 days q persons have been killed on
our highways by motor vehicles Is of
them being children Already for the
month of June 40 persons have been
killed and unless there is general slow
ing up of motor vehicles, particularly in
cities, the number of fatalities for 1923
will be greater than last year. The ne
cessty of drastic action must be appar-
ent to everyone when it is considered
that there are $4,000 more automobiles
on our roads than there were year ago.
That explains the whole thing. Human
life is being made to pay the price of speed
and reckless driving of motor cars. If states
had more rigid rules and regulations gov
erning the operation of motor cars, heavier
penalties for violations and sitter exami-
nations before licenses can be granted the
fatality list would be reduced in every sec
ton of the country. When drastic action
promises to save human life it should be ia
ken. Human life is more important than is
the high speed of motor cars on the public
highways and the city streets.

MISS ALICE'S ADVICE.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Miss Alice Robertson, former congresswo-
man and now a mere jobholder at federal
soldiers hospital in Oklahoma, speaks with
her accustomed vivacity as she tells the Of
flee girls employed in that institution to
wear more clothes and quit trying to initiate
Eve. Her advice may be needed, but if she
is not to get into the "reformer" class she
must do something more than issue orders
That is to say, she must work out some
scheme for making those girls want to wear
more clothes of their own accord-make
them mentally as well as ornamentally con-
sentative!

HORSE AND BUGGY A CURIOSITY.

From the Minneapolis Tribune
The thing that tends to draw crowd and
block traffic these days in a congested city
is a buggy or surrey drawn by horse It
doesn't scare anybody but the motor driver,
but it produces many smile from grown
ups, and quite some wonder from the little
fellows born in this intensive automobile age.
Indeed horse and buggy threading its
way through the busy streets of big town
evokes more wonder and curiosity than an
airplane buzzing in the skies over these same
streets

81 INDAY NEWSPAPERS.

The Opelika (Ala) News is not very much
in favor of publishing Sunday morning news
papers, judging from the following editorial
paragraph in that paper:
The Montgomery Journal wisely, we
think. has discontinued its Sunday edi-
ton We are quite sure that the world
would soon recover from the shock, re,
adjust itself to the condition and
wag along about as we'll if all the Sun
day newspapers were discontinued.
From any viewpoint the public would be
none the worse off if there were no Sunday
newspapers While they are bulky affairs they
contain less news than any other edition
They are made up generally of a miscellane-
Gus collection of Junk" that is neither in
teresting or helpful to a great majority Of
..readers. There is considerable room for re-
Arm in the modern Sunday newspaper.

Within five years 9,10l persons have been
killed at railroad crossings in this country
and 24,208 have been injured. Most of these
casualties were suffered by persons riding in
motor cars. Human beings are in some re-
spects like the moth that futters around the
fame until it burns to death, and yet there
is difference The moth has no brains to
direct it and save it from disaster Persons
who drive motor cars upon railroad cross
ings have Brains, but many of them are not
functioning properly at the moment. Some
crossing accidents may be due to other
causes than care1essness, but the majority of
them are caused because human brains are
not used.

nevertheless it is accepted as gratifying

STRAW BALLOTS MEANINGLESS.

From the Tampa Times
These straw ballots are very confusing.
No sooner does Golfers come out with a

Literary Digest produces one OF its own

How do they get such widely different re-
suits? What's the answer? And what con-

Trouble is ahead for the eastern states
thinks the Donalsonville News That paper
says
The boil weevil and the niggers who
wish to become yankees are going to
bring some eastern states to ruin before
they know it. They depend entirely on
southern cotton to keep their looms run
ming, and if present conditions continue
much longer the south won't have more
than enough cotton to supply its own de
mands. Then what will they do to fur
nish employment to labor, to say moth
ing of the depreciation of the millions in
vested in cotton factories all over that
section?

Georgia Press Talk.

The Triton Gazette notes that other people
are to share in another south Georgia luxury
Editor Herring says;
1t is stated that field peas are being
shipped green in hampers, just as beans
are shipped, and that they are bringing
good prices the market. There is al
most no limit to the amount of green
peas that can be put on the market here,
and the industry offers exceptional op-
portunity. Heretofore, the Georgia
Cracker has had practically a monopoly
on the luxury of green field peas, but if
others can be induced to taste and ap-
preciate them the man who brings this
about will be public benefactor in more
ways than one.

JUST FISH STORIES

Fred Wolfert IS some scout with
the fish rod-whether it be mus
kies or trout he is at home with
the "know-how." Finstance, Sun
day Fred lands the prize spccl1led
beauty from Muskrat creek up
Conover way and it sure tipped
the beam at 3 pounds and one
ounce; no more and no less. But
this same trout had Fred guess
ing. 1t was of decided African
coloring, with it's red spots and
all, and on top of that it had the
dangest face ever given to a trout
family. 1t was perfect in every
other respect but simply managed
to have been given a freak head
when it entered the world. Any
how, Fred has the ribbons right
now on all of 'em.
No he hasn't; not quite all of
EN- either. Ny old side-kick,
John Frank, who would leave a
well-cooked meal anytime day or
night if some fellow came along
and suggested a trout trip, has
been playing it fine on his friends
and is getting away with it. Twice
now to our knowledge, John has
sneaked off to some favored spot
and came back with the dadbing-
enest nice catch of speckled trout
any hound would give his best
arm to own. And he has done
this right at the time when all
the rest of us fellows are coming
home, maybe from the same
stream with empty creels and sour
looks. If there was such a thing
as barring these two birds, John
and Fred, from the trout streams,
there might be a chance for some
other fellow to get a catch once
in a while.
When does the fishing season
open for the pike and muskies?
The reason we ask is that at
the present writing the state leg
lslature has not passed it's new
laws, neither has it any licenses
printed for distribution the open
ing day Of the season next Friday.
You see, if a fellow has no license,
can he fish?

Indians Wreck Their Car.

Last Wednesday a Ford load of
squaws and buck Indians from
the Lac Vieux Desert territory,
while returning from State Line,
ran into the bridge railing on the
bridge over the Wisconsin river on
Highway 80, a couple miles south
east of that village, and wrecked
their car completely. Seems as
though they were using a higher
rate of speed than was justifable
on the down-grade approach to
the bridge, and a we'll distributed
wreck is the result. No one was
very badly hurt, according to re-
ports.

PLANT A MILLION TREES
Camp Mishike at Winchester
to Work in Reforestration
Project.

Madison, Wis.-The biggest sale
of little trees for artificial refor-
estration yet made in the middle
west is that of $4,000 pine and
spruce purch a S ed by Camp
Mishike, a newly established for
estry camp for boys near Winches-
ter, Wis. The project calls for
the planting of upward of 1000,-
600 trees in the next ten years,
but $4,000 were all that State
Forester Harrington could spare
for this year.
The camp last fall bought 1000
acres in northern Villas County,
and set aside LOO acres of the
area for reforestation purposes.
w. E. Sanderson, who will be dir
ector of the camp, is himself a
trained forester, and has the I'M
ique record Of having when a
member of the faculty of the New
York State College of Forestry at
Syracuse, N. Y, of planting or
or supervising the planting of
100000 trees in demonstration
forests of that state. The camp
plans to have it's own nursery
eventually, but for the first two
or three years will endeavor to
purchase the trees for it's refores-
tation work from the surplus of
the State Conservation Commits
sion. The planting will be done
as a demonstration, in the belief
that such a demonstration forest
cannot only be used by foresters
as an example of reforestation,
but will eventually produce a pro
fitable crop of timber.
This is looking some forty
years ahead" said w. E. Sander
son, director of the camp, when
he concluded the purchase of the
little trees, "but proves that as
foresters we believe we can plant
forests which will prove profitable
to our children, even if we do not
live to see the timber reach ma
turity."

Announcement was made this week
that the Department of Justice will
ask for a retrial in the Noce cadet
longevity pay case in the Court of
Claims. 1t was held by the Court OF
Claims that section IL of the act of
May 18. 1920, required that West
Point cadet service be counted for
longevity purposes and repealed the
Hay prohibition in the act of 1912
counting such service. This action on
the part of the Department of JUS

recommendations of the judge adyo-

urged that the solicitor general max e
request for new trial. There has
