 MAKES APPEARANCE

FORT WORTH, Texas, Feb. 16.- The first cousin of the buffalo has appeared on the Texas range. He'll be known to the livestock world as Vernie and he's a second cross of the cattle and the buffalo-some- thing once considered impossible.
 The first Vernier seen at the Fort Worth stockyards and the packing houses came from the ranch of J. B. Slaughter in Garza County. The buf- falo bulls came from the famous Goodnight buffalo herd in the Pan handle, and the cattle from the Slaughter ranches. The first cross

NO SUCH ANIMAL AS
 MIRACLE IN ALASKA

If there ever was a land where the naked natural was working all the time, that land is Alaska. Alaska is elemental, and everything in 1t is elemental. Facts are facts, and are expected and expected naturally by every Alaskan. If they only knew it, the Outsider visiting here might just as well tie his "bulI' outside when he comes in, for its presence here would be detected by the small est child the instant of it's arrival If the wind should blow, or the earth oualle, or the bottom fall out of the thermometer or the mercury rise until it knocks the glass out ot the top of the thermometer, here they don't rush to the telegraph office to wire the fact as a miracle, for they know that winds do blow, that the earth does quake at times and al most anywhere, that cold does come to most places at times, and that heat does bother the people Of al most any cline every once in so often, and that everything is re- suit of natural conditions and natural action and that there aint no such animal as the miracle, the days or which ended, if they ever were. But, at that, it makes us cross when the credulous people of the Outside try to work their northern miracles at our expense.- News-Mlner.

L. A. Corporation
Will Test State
Tax on Gasoline

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 2S.-Valid
ity of the two cent gas tax will be
tested in Il suit to be brought
against the state and the Standard
Oil Company by the Los Angeles
Gas and Electric Company, the state
controller was informed today.
The Los Angeles corporation holds
that the two cent tax violates
Amendment No. l of the constitu-
ton, which guarantees public SER
vice corporations exemption from all
special taxes.
M. d. Lack, secretary of the state
board of equalization, announced to-
day that the state will combat the
suit on the grounds that the gaso-
line tax is license tax imposed on
the gasoline selling companies and
is not i'll any way special tax on
the persons or corporations doing
business with those companies.

TOM SIMS SAYS

Our country is planning a foreign
policy. We suggest honesty. Hon
esty is the best foreign policy.
fNeighbors are nice people who
bring you over chicken when they
can't get another bite of it.
Neighbors are sarcastic people
who smile gently when you say
you never fight with your wife.
Neighbors are crazy people who
tend to your business and fine peo-
pie who tend to their business.
Neigh bors are people who cook
cabbage with the windows open
when you are going to have com
Pany.
Neighbors are funny people who
come over when you are sick and
tell you how sick they used to be.
Neighbor women are people with
their hair III papers who come over
to borrow a cup of sugar.
Neighbor women are people who
talk an hour while borrowing
something.
Neighbor men are people in shirt
sleeves who explain why you should
have used q little more yeast.
We don't know why neighbors act
so foolish and neighbors don t know
why you act so foolish.
If neighbors forget to pay back
what they borrowed 90 over and
borrow twice as much from them.
Never judge neighbors by what
YOU see hanging on their clothes
lines.
Shake hands with Il collector and
invite him in so the neighbors will
not know he is a collector.
Treat your neighbors nice. If you
didn t have any neighbors your
neighborhood would be deserted.
Never turn up your nose at the
neighbors. 1t may rain in your nose
and give you bad cold.
iNeighbors have their uses. They
might talk about what you did and
this keeps you from doing it.
Never get too mad at your neigh
bors. Very often your enemies this
week are your friends next week.

SUPREME COURT MAJORITIES

It has often been urged in recent years that Con-
gress curb the power of the Supreme Court to declare
laws unconstitutional. Most of such demands have
been comparatively moderate, conenting themselves
with insisting that when the court does annu act
of Congress, it should not do by fvetofour
decision but by decision concurred in by SUBJ
stantal majority of the judges.
Now comes John H. Clarke former associate
justice of that court with the suggestion that the court
itself should adopt such reform. Writing in the
Journal of the American Bar Association he recalls
old rule formerly followed by the court. by which it
never held law unconstitutional when several of the
justices concluded that it valid. In other words,
it enforced of its accord standard requiring de-
cisions to be near enough unanimous so that critic
could attribute any decision to whim prejudice
or accident.
The Supreme Coort may not see fit to take notice
of the suggestion but action based it would be pop
ular and would probably add to the courts prestige.

OUR FOREIGN DEBTORS

Reports from Washington say that Congress is in
cned to press for payment of foreign Indebtedness to
this country Various senators and representatives are
ready to insist that at least strong hints be given
allied debtors that the United States is not satisfied
with having the debts ignored and would like
rangemenC made for funding them, has been done
with Great Britain.
The public probably feels about the same way
about it. Advocates for debt cancellation small
minority Large numbers of citizens have always fav-
ored moderation and generosity toward the associates
who were obliged to borrow from during the war,
and few Americans disposed to drive hard bar
gain with them But there is feeling that of
biggest debtors have been grossly abusing leniency
The most irritating debtor of all is France,
against whom Americans few years ago would never
have expected to feel any irritation France has
paid any interest and shown any inclination to
pay making provision in any of her budgets for the
payment of either interest principal France pleads
poverty and insists that if she is to pay, she cannot
possibly do it until Germany has paid her Meanwhile,
by holding the richest industrial sections of Germany
she makes it practically impossible for Germany to
pay And at the time she has been spending hum
dreds of millions of dollars armament and lending
other hundreds of millions to her continental allies,
who in turn put the money into armament.
Italy also pleads poverty and maintains big
army.
If European nations would stop their prepar-
aons and settle down to peaceful pursuits they could
stop shooting and drilling and making guns and
planes Uncle Sam would feel more like remitting
of what they Thus they would gain doubly.
afford better to pay what they And they would
feel more like remitting of what they Thus
they would gain doubly.
This country has no desire to finance another
European and matters stand, that virtually
what doing. There should be millions for peace
but not cent for mtarsn 1t might be we'll if the
government would tell Europe that.

necessary papers certifying their professional quail

More than so men in Hartford County, Conn, are
said to have received fake diplomas How many have

.LANIER POETS START
LAST WEEKS PLAYING
Fast Macon Prep Team Plays at
HawkinsvilIe This Afternoon
Had Winning Streak

MACON, May 22.-Starting the
final week of their season, the Poets
will today endeavor to continue their
winning streak against the strong
Hawkinsville High team from Haw-
kinsville, this afternoon. The game
will be played at Central CITY Park
at 3 80 o'clock.
After poor start against the Co
mmbus High team in Columbus in
the first game of the season, the sue
cess of the Lanier team this spring
h& q cen remarkable. The Orange
ana Green nine has won every on,
of the five games played since then,
defeating strong teams.
To continue their work this after
noon, however, it appears that they
must play at their top form, for the
Hawkinsville crew has a record ST.
perior even to that Of the Poets. The
South Georgia boys have wallOped
nine of their ten opponents this sea-
son, winning eight straight games
before dropping one. They are
coming determined to stop the Poets
and take home a victory OF Lanier,
which would be an attractive entry
on the season. review.
