SPORT

SPORT
1t is discovered that the sport OF
angling as they cali it in England has
been falling off for some time and that
the reason is to befound in the scare
ity of fish, and the limited varieties.
There are plenty of fishing streams
in England and in Scotland which are
soon to be filled with game fish i'm
ported from the United States and
Canada. There are expert fishermen
in the English Clubs who know which
are the best varieties to import, and
some of these are bass of different
kinds, pike, pickerel and som" species

THE CHANCE OF
CHILDREN

1t may be thought that American
children have the best opportunities
for life and health of any nation in
the world, but statistics do not prove
it. but rather the contrary. The Uni
ted States is sixth in low death rates
of infants and seventeenth in pre-
venton of deaths of mothers at child
birth and 80 per cent of the men
examined for the national war draft
were deficient in physical points that
were mostly subject to prevention or
cure in youth. While 35,000,000 child
rem are for the most part the objects
of tender care and solicitude on the
part of parents, there must be commu-
nifty safeguards even for these such
as inspection of water, milk, medica
inspection of children in school, quar-
antine, playground provision and sc
on. Also there are still thousands up
on thousands of child laborers il
fields and factories, robbed of theil
birth right of health, and the const
tutonl guarantee of liberty and tht
pursuit of happiness.

ALBANY'S PROTEST

The city of Albany has submitted
resolutions through their chamber of
commerce to Congress objecting to
the rigid restriction of immigration
now under consideration. The large
unoccupied areas of Georgia's farming
land present a problem in her develop
ment that settlements of a thrifty in
tellgent class of farmers such as are
found in Norway, Sweden, Denmark,
and Holland, would probably solve.
The pending law makes such ar
rangements impossible A selective
immigration law would seem to suit
the people generally better than this

WASHINGTON, April 16.-Wil-
bur Marsh, for 10 years Republican
national committeeman from Iowa

his place of power on the national

Clyde Herring, who recently Ell

ago when Hen Ford started making
autos. He had a bunch farmers
would buy automobiles, Apparently
few folks, business men" at least,
agreed. For he found no competi-
tion when he applied for the Ford
agency for the state. He got it.
Herring proceeded to plant more.
flivvers per capita in Iowa than ever
has been sold in any similar agri-
cultural state. Orders from Iowa
helped Ford satisfy his bankers
more than once, in those early days,
that the auto business had future

came famous in Iowa along with the

farmers friends. The acquaintance

POULTRY TRAIN To Be
OPERATED NEXT WEEK
Seaboard VIII Have Poultry Car
AT Americas Friday April
Is, 1t Is Announced

George o. Marshall and Henry P.
Everett announced today that the
Seaboard Air Line will run a poul-
try car from Americas to Helena
on Friday, April rs, taking on
poultry at the various stations as
the train runs on its schedule.
An Atlanta buyer will go with
the car and will buy and pay for
the poultry, paying Atlanta prices
less car-lot freight charges.
This is the second car to be run
this month. The first car was oper.
ated by the Seaboard March 28th,
when 800 pounds of poultry were
loaded here with corresponding
quantities at every other station
between Americas and Savannah.
Prices received by the farmers
ranged from 40 cents pound fer
tryers weighing not over 2 pounds
each to 10 cents a pound paid for
ROSTERS, and Is cents a pound for
hens, which constituted, perhaps so
per cent of the offerings. Of the
total offering approximately g.
0OO pounds were loaded at the Sea
board station here Thursday after
noon, with fifteen hundred pounds
addition loaded today at Hunting
ton, Leslie, DeSoto and Cobb. 1t is
estimated that a total of $3.50. 90

An illustration of the degree in
which the poultry industry has al
ready been developed here is found
IN the fact that when the first pouI-
try special was operated Wilcox
county alone supplied nearly 1000
pounds Of poultry to the first car.
and the average price was above II
cents a pound. Rochelle loaded into
Shls car 1882 pounds, the largest
amount of any other station in The
county, due no doubt to the public
lty given the movement by the local
Chamber Of Commerce. The prices
paid were very satisfactory and it
IS expected the second car will re-
eelve even more liberal supply
chan the first.

announce that their lists of reserva-

Out-of-town sales, from the offices

though it was stated by officials to-
day that there are still some good
seats left for all performances. AS
the time draws near these may be
