Not After Any Records,
Sergeant Reed says he has no rec
ord of any professional strong man in
either his or Mrs. Reeds family. and
he doesn't intend TO send his remark

Cyr or Travis.
II want to make a real boy and
real man out OF him." says the SER

the same kind, with the advantages
of this early start toward physical de-

"He sleeps in the open; in fact, he

water baths. And we seldom have to
empty the tub because he kicks and
splashes all the water out.
"He doesn't know what it is to be
rocked to sleep"
And here's where the early physi'
cal training of little Wesley works to
the benefit of all concerned. The
baby has never caused Sergeant Reed
to walk the floor at night. His par
ents go to sleep and are never dis'
turbed until time to rise in the morn

is still heaving in slumber.
Sergeant Reed intends to give Yves

babies, too"

ANALYZE BEER HERE
Herman hester Will Be Called Upon
to Decide Alcoholic Contents.

Through authority granted by
Frank Cole, director of prohibition
enforcement activities in Texas, beer
seized in San Antonio will be analysed
here instead of being sent to Austin
as heretofore. Herman hester.
licensed chemist, has been employed
to analyze the liquors for the San
Antonio prohibition office.
The former method of sending beer
off for analysis was unsatisfactory
according to Permissive Agent Pfeffer
The gases that accumulate in un'
fermented beer make the bottles easily
breakable. Often the bottles explode
A further advantage in having San
Antonio man analyze the beer. lies
in the convenience with which he may
be summoned as a witness when liquor
cases come up for trial before the
federal court here.

raised by churches in the valley.

POOR COTTON WEATHER
Experts Say Poor Conditions VIII
Have An Effect on 1928 Crop.

Atlanta, April 13.-Distinctly un,,
favorable weather has prevailed!
throughout the southeastern section OF
the cotton belt this week and experts
declared today this would be felt
sharply in the 1928 crop totals. :,
Intermittent rains have kept the
soil wet and low temperatures have
prevented termination and growth in
the southern section and delayed
planting in the Northern regions: Cot,
ton planted after April 10 will feel
the full force of boil weevil attacks:
The Public Service Commission OF
Georgia has ordered sweeping reduc-
tons in all telephone rates OF the
Southern Bell company. The cuts
pany has decided to accept the order
although 1t points out that the gen,
eral tendency in all lines is toward
higher wages.

What would you do il you saw q
six-months- baby sit erect in his
baby coop, reach up to the railing
above him and, in the approved gym
nasium style, chin himself couple
Of times? You'd stop and stare and
wonder IL you hadn't better have your
eyes tested for glasses after all. Lots
of people have done that in the last
month out at the municipal target
range, presided over by Sergeant and
Mrs. Wesley ]. Reed, the former the
custodian Of the range and the latter
custodian of the sergeant, and most
of these range visitors have been
marksmen whose scores testify that
their eyes are in the best of condi'
ton.
What makes them doubt their vision
is the. gymnastics Of Wesley Walter
Reed, king of the Reed household
born October II, 1922.
Legend has It that the infant Her
cplcs, gurgling in his cradle and do
ing back flips and hand stands in.
stead of the ordinary infantile exer-
else of trying to insert the great toe
into the mouth, reached over the side
one day and strangled couple oil
snakes to death. For want of snakes
to strangle-his parents probably
would forbid him TO play with snakes
anyhow-Wesley Walter Reed. who is
about the nearest to Hercules among
the modern infants on record in the
strong boy competitions. follows his
daddy's lead and develops his muscles
in less violent and more beneficial
ways.
Does His Daily Dozen.
Besides Ginning himself, this un'
usual youngsttr, who has been in the
world Just half of one year, includes
in his "dail5- dozen" the feat OF swing
ling BY one tiny fist from a bar held
out by Sergeant Reed lying on a ia
Bile and lifting himself to sitting
posture without the use of his hands
(try this one on your spinal column)
dangling happily in space while ms
father srasps him by the sides OF nj:
head; lifting his bed off the GROUND
with his fingers while his father
hoists him by his heels, and holding
his body rigid while dad grasps hin
BY the thighs only, with face either
upwards or downwards. And there
are many more as wonderful.
And why all this unorthodox, ply
steal training for boy who isn't ever
a yearling YETI The answer: Baby
Wesley never is cranky; he wouldn'
know a tear if he saw it; he ha;
never had sick minute in his briei
and unusual life, and medicine anc
he are not even ON a bowling ac'
auaintance. And he's busy and hap
py and playful every watkins second
He has a lusty voice but he raises u
above a well-modulated gurgle only
when his appetite gets the best Of
his manners.
When he was born, Wesley weighed
nine pounds and five ounces. In SIX
months he has developed into lad
of twenty pounds of what is actually
bone and sinew.
The "anti-jellybean" training-Ser'
geant Reed and his wife aren't rails
ing their boy to be "jellybean"--
started when Wesley was about Q
month old. Bending exercises and
pulling on his, fathers fingers were
the first steps. Holding him by the
arms and feet were next. At the age
of six weeks. Wesley was presented
with brand new pair Of exercising
weights by his proud father. These
we're bags of small bird shot, each
weighing about two and a half ounces
They we're tied to the baby's hands

Early Telephone Concerts Like Radio
Programs Now.
In the introduction of radio to the
public the first great attraction was
the broadcasting of concerts. 1t was
the same when the telephone was be-
ing introduced to the public. An in
stance of this occurred in Michigan the
first time telephone instrument was
brought into the state.
On March 6, 1877, telegraph oper-
ator by the name of w. A. Jackson,
arrived in Detroit with telephone set
in his valise. He exhibited the instru-
ment at the Detroit Club. Much in
terest was aroused. This increased
and became widespread when the tel
ephone was attached to telegraph
wire from Chicago and a musical pro-
gram being rendered in the distant
city was distinctly heard in Detroit.
The same man, w. A. Jackson, was la
ter the President of the Michigan Bell
Telephone company.
