HERE'E THE DIFFERENCE

An exchange wants to know the
difference between the man who
steals million and one who steals
a melon.
Well, just this: The fellow who
steals the million is pretty sure OF
becoming trust magnate, while the
best that melon thief can hope for
is to become a trusty.

fit OF Georgia's homeless waits.
The states society takes these chill
dren under its watchcare until homes

the society by singing carols, and as
the inspiration for the first Christmas
carol stands watching, may He find
us doing all in our power to sing "A
Little Bit of Love- into the lives Of
these children, making it possible for
them to believe Christianity is real
and that Gods heart is open to their
cries. BLESSED is he that comforteth
the poor; the Lord will deliver him
in time OF trouble"
The greatest way to be happy is to
make happiness for others; 50 go to
church Thursday evening with a keen
appreciation OF the efforts that are be-
ing put forth by those who are fos-
tering the program and with the full
determination to give all you can to
help your states poor May your Civ
ing be measured by your love.

and The Good Ship Zion" two songs
of The Golden Gates" story OF
The Nativity" Prince OF Peace, can

Let Me Feel Secure" and it is OF in
terest to know that the anthem is the
work OF Mrs. NJ. H. Harper, who has
already won statewide reputation as
writer of secular songs. The anthem
is eight pages in length. 1t begins
with song OF praise from shepherds
who, after a days toll, are entering
their rest. Finding some OF the lambs
straying, they pray fervently One
who is lost questions her ability to
enter, and in beautiful solos the re-
demption of soul is given, the anthem
ending in splendid climax with Hos
annas.

OF Timely Interest To Georgia Farmers
A New Boil Weevil Discovery by the
Armour Farm in Calhoun County,

Recently we heard r. J. H. De-
Loach, of the research department OF
Armour & Company, tell OF discov-
erv which he made at their South
Georgia farm this past winter, says a
writer in the Southern Cultivator. 1t
was a very interesting discovery and
one that will have very important
bearing on cotton growing in the tu-
ture. 1t was this;
We knew that mature weeVils went
through the winter, coming out in a
weakened condition, the females lay
ing 20 to 30 eggs-producing about
Is females. We knew the importance
OF destroying these weevils by early
blowing under OF cotton stalks, and
by burning brier patches around the
cotton fields also we knew of the
value OF picking up and destroying
the first punctured squares, because
these new crop weevils lay about 200
to 800 eggs-so that a dozen squares
destroyed equals $500 females taken
from the next months hatch. But we
did not know that the eggs of the
boil weevil would carry over in the
squares from fall till spring.
Where the squares and leaves and
trash were piled up three or four inch
es deep, especially near the ends OF
the rows and in protected places,
young weevils Matched out last spring
from 1928 eggs, as severe as was our
past winter. What will they do in an
ordinary winter? This shows the i'm
portance OF destroying these piles OF
squares, either by burning, or prefer
ably by blowing under. II they are
covered with three or four inches OF
soil they will be sure never to hatch
out

CRIME WAVE IN STATE;
WAL ER CALLS MEET
SHERIFFS AND OTHER Off
GALS CALLED TO ENFORCE
MENT CONFERENCE.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Stirred by several
recent acts of might riders" which
eliminated last week in the hogging
OF c. ]. Shelverton, jro son of for
uer MAYOR of Austell, Governor Walk
er has called a law enforcement con
ference to meet at the state capitol on
January 18th All sheriffs and other
law enforcement officials, as well as
representatives of social welfare or
CARNATIONS and others interested in
the welfare of the state, are invited
to attend.
A Crime Wave
Governor Walker pointed out that
the wave Of crime is not limited to this
state, but is demanding public atten-
ton everywhere, pointing to the cases
OF Willie Jones and Gervis Blood
worth, the Georgia youths refused
executive clemency, and to the fact
that additional criminal judges have
been placed on the bench in Chicago
to handle the Overwhelming number
OF murder cases" now pending in that
city.
This fact, however, does not min
inlze the shame upon our state. Its
fair name challenges every good clti-
zen to make every possible contribu-
ton 10 the moulding of a public senti-
1nent for the respect OF the law. In
that spirit | have for weeks considered
the calling Of a law enforcement con
ference to be held in che state capitol
in Atlanta, to which the sheriffs, the
other law enforcement officers all so
cial welfare organizations and any
other citizens interested in the wei
fare OF the state, will be invited" said

Christmas business in the marriage

office is not up to the standard The
cause of Dan Cupid's inactivity is as
cribed to the new marriage law now

not unusual heretofore for him to is
sue a dozen or more marriage licenses
on Saturday before Christmas, but the
sales last Saturday numbered only
three One OF the weddings took
place i'll the Ordinary's office, another
occurred Sunday in a colored church
oi the city, and the third is scheduled
