THE SCRUB AND THE DUB

Advising farmers to breed better livestock and breed to a
better purpose a farm journal concludes: "The day of the scrub
is over" It's so. It's gone.
So is the day of the dub. He's through, too.
Time was when two eve necked, 900 pound horses. drew a
Y inch pillow Is hours to turn over two acres and a half of soil.
Time was when any scraggy old COW was a cow whether she gave
four quarts or six at a milking when fresh. Time was when any
waspwated, l~ong-horned, cat-hammed steer was a beef critter"
Time was when the chickens in the barnyard were all colors and
sizes from the "banties" without pride of ancestry to the shanghais
with legs like cranes and necks like a camel. Time was but it
isn't any more. They're through. Their day is over.
So with the dub. A dub is one who can do everything and do
each one worse than the other. Time was when he could make
| go of it. He could get by with half doing something and get paid
for doing it. But not any more. You have to know your stuff
nowadays. It's required. The dub has just the same chance at
present as the shanghai rooster, the eve necked horse and the
steer that was 80 per cent soup bones.
The difference between the dub and the real guy is the diff
ference between a man who has learned to do one thing well and
the other who has learned to do everything badly. It's the differ
ence between growing stuff and letting it grow if it can. Culiva-
ton against neglect. Training VS.. running wild.
Don't be a dub, boy, don't be a dub. Get busy. Learn some
thing. Stick a stake. Ever see the old fashioned farmer SOW oats
by hand? Well, he stuck three stakes and sowed on the line. Sup
pose he hadn't any stakes to sight by. He'd have been a dub and
the field would have given him away when the oats came up.
That's all. The day of the scrub and the dub is gone. Essent-
tally there isn't much difference between them. A dub is a scrub

Great Opportunity
for the Radio Genius

The crystal set employs natures
own means Of re~ctihcatiOn. Were 1t
not for the absence Of a means OF
application the results obtained from
this set would excel. Compared to the
volume obtained through the vacuum
tube, however, the work Of the crystal
IL disappointing and no way has yet
been found to increase the volume.
Reception through the crystal frOm
distances up to 20 miles is marvellous
in its beauty, but in the great majority
Of cases the wner OF a set prefers
quantity to quality and often noise to
harmony. A great opportunity presents
itself to the radio expePimenter to add
application to the crystal without
destroying the beauty of it's reception.
Who will accomplish this?
The successful experimenter will
deserve the renOwn that viii undOubt
edly be his.

people whose ignorance runs to masks and nightgowns people don't
bother much about a mans religious convictions. They size up
the man and the woman and accept them for what they are worth.
Whatever we believe or think we believe as to the way we
came to be here there isn't much d~ifferenc between us when the
showdown comes and much greatness as abides within us must
be made manifest. The old Jew who gathered his brave old wife
in his arms and quietly waited the plunge of the Titanic was not
a Jew in that supreme moment, but a MANIA he had been a man
all his long life. The Iowa doctor who in default of instruments
sucked the ~diptheria poison from a chlds throat to save its life
and so lost his own was not a member of any church or believer
IN any creed when he did it and died because he did. They are al
communicates of the great, wide, everlasting creed that includes
all the nobility of human nature and is summed up in the command
that eye love one another"
Let a man believe as he does or as he thinks he does. That
isn't the question of most Importance. How does he act? What
does he do? The doing is the great test of the man and the surest
evidence of his soul. A good neighbor on earth is likely to be
desirable citizen anywhere else.

ONLY must the audience be able to hear

they must also be at perfect liberty
TO eliminate it's signals and receive
equally clearly the program OF some

their most serious problem at present.
The great Increase in the number OF

chaos and confusion. and II this Is not

The government. the radio engineers.
and those broadcasting stations that
are interested in radio for its own

struggling with it valiantly. Though

Use Radio to Teach
All Kinds of Music

The millions who have heard the I'M
pressive reception Of violin, plano and
other instrumental music and the ar
tistic radio rendering of vocal selec-
tions, have no doubt wondered what the
future had in store along these lines.
Much has been written of the adapt
ability Of radio for general instruction
in the home and in the school, but the
ability Of radio to general instruction
seems to have been overlooked. This
field for radio seems to be especially
promising. 1t is easy to picture regu-
lar series Of lessons by radio, with
appropriate demonstrations with the
voice or on the various instruments.

FL DESIRABLE CITIZEN

Most of the newspaper fuss making over the theory of evolu-
ton and the monkey man stuff is of little use except to attract
idle attention and furnish a bone for polemical CANNES to scrap
ever. Nobody much is changing his religious mind over it. Those
who are suited with the Adam and Eve account of or genesis will
tiOn will continue to hold it until perhaps he gets sick and is agraid
he is going to die. And there we are again just where we started.
Why not? Why not grant the person who holds by the faith
of the fathers the comfort of his belief that he is to be thoroughly
bhsSful through eternity? To be sure there seems to be now and
then one of those whose anticipation of eternal delights appears
accumulated by the conviction that a lot Of other folks are to
suffer under high temperature, but if that's comfort to him let
him have it. If it isn't so it doesn't hurt anybody. If somebody
wants to believe that he began as a maggot let him. It's a sort
of flyblOom belief, but what is that to you? If some folks believe
IN reincarnations and that they once were snakes let 'em. Some
folks act like it was so. But that doesn't keep us from being darned
good fellows, does it? If somebody else believes in the popes
AVAILABILITY and you don't that doesn't keep you from being good
~neighbors or ought not. The only difference between immersion
and sprlnklIng is a little more water and water is the commonest
thing IN the world. Suppose your neighbor does play golf or go
to the ball game of Sundays, but lends you his lawn mower and
comes after it when he needs it himself, he's : blamed good neigh
Dor for all that. You don't recall any instances where a difference
OF religious beliefs and creeds kept a good woman away from her
neigAloS woman whose baby had died or a man from offering
to do anything we can" do you? Not in this day and age of the
world, not when they are real people and fit to live in a real
community. 1t isn't done nowadays.
All this auto da fe and stake business is over with. There
was nothing to it ever but a savagery of leadership. Folks were
folks then as now. They were mistaken, not cruel. We have
gone a long way since then. We know a lot more about each other.
Mankind is kinder and religion sweeter than then. Outside a few

and testified to swearing out the
warrant on Information from the
ofhcers who made the arrest on
Water street.
austin Faulkinham Of East Win.
throp took the stand and told OF
seeing Ttbbetts in the car, drive
against the fountain. On OBSERVING
that Tibbetts was trying to back
away. and fearing for the safety OF
MS own car which was parked near
by, Faulkinham went to Tibbetts
assistance. and found that the
wheel was locked in such a manner
that the car could only be driven in
a circle. He testified that in his
opinion Tibbetts was intoxicated.
Mrs. Ida w. Freeman, Augusta
police matron, testified that when
Tibbetts was brought in to the police
station she had conversation with
him and believed that at that time
he was intoxicated. Police officer
Perley Stevens testified to the cir
cumstances of the arrest made by
himself and Officer Bowker. He
said that Tibbetts ut first denied be-
ing In the automob bile but later &C.
knowledged that he was in 1t when
1t ran into the fountain. Oflcer
Stevens gave evidence as to the in
toxicated condition Of the respond
ent.
NO evidence was offered for the
defense. Attorney Martin addressed
the court asking clemency for his
client on the grounds that this case
was different from the ordinary vio-
lation of the motor vehicle law
where man in an intoxicated con-
dition goes out on the highways on
a joy ride with liquor in the car,
jeopardizing the lives of innocent
motorists and pedestrians. Judge
Cony considered that the respondent
was guilty Of a serious offense, and
pronounced sentence of four months
in Jail. Tibbetts appealed and was
ordered to furnish security in the
sum of 5000 for his appearance at
the September term of the Superior
court.
The case against Eli Gagnon of
16 Prospect street. held on a search
and seizure charge, was continued
until this morning at 10 o'clock, ow-

Report of Ward 2
Cleanup Campaign
Committee Filed :

Miss Elsie P. Briggs. general chair
man OF the wofnen's committees
which conducted the Clean Up Week
Campaign in the various wards, to-
day filed the report of Mrs. Z. p.
Nooes. who was chairman Of the
Ward committee, with the Angus
ia Chamber Of Commerce.
Mrs. Noyes' committee made a
very thorough investigation of Ward
2 and reported many places as need
ing attention.
This is the first report which has
been filed with the Chamber of Com
merce, inasmuch as the different
ward committees have taken time to
thoroughly check up the results of
Clean Up Week as they did not want
to report any property which was
cleaned up during the Clean Up
Campaign.
As soon as all of the reports are
completed and filed with the Cham
Der of Commerce they will from
time to time during the year en-
deavor to have these places taken
care of and when Clean Up Week in
1924 rolls around it is felt that the
work of the various committees can
be made much easier and that year
by year by eliminating these places.
Augusta can truly be a cleaner and
a better city.
