GEORGIA'S CORN CROP GAINS
100000 BUSHELS THIS YEAR
Urged to Sell to Neighbors and Keer
Out Western Product.

Georgia's estimated crop OF corn Tor
the 1924 season is 100000 bushels in
excess of the crop of 1923, while the
crop in the entire United States is
533.499.OO0 bushels short of the total
1928 production, according to officials
of the state bureau of markets. This
situation assures fine prices for the
Georgia farmers, it was said.
The current issue of the Market Bull
letin, published by the bureau OF
markets, has an editorial urging Geor-
gia farmers to sell their corn to their
neighbors, so that not a dollar may
90 out of the state for western corn,
which will bring a very high price
The editorial also urges Georgia farm
ers to feed as many hogs as possible
with their surplus corn.

WILL INDICT 200
IN WINE SCANDAL
ENOUGH WITHDRAWN FOR
SACRAMENTAL PURPOSES
FOR 100000 JEWS"

CHKCAGO.-Now that the Jewish
holiday is ended, thus releasing scores
of witnesses who were otherwise en-
gagged during Yom Kippur the gov
eminent is going ahead with its in
vestigation of the notorious "sacra-
mental wine scandal. Eight true bills
were voted by the grand jury yester-
day and it is predicted that more than
ZOO persons will be indicted by the
federal jury. The indictments will
charge that prohibition agents, whole
sale wine agents, rabbis, real and i'm
itation, bootleggers and distributors
generally entered into a gigantic con-
spiracy to beat the prohibition laws
According to the evidence in hand
enough wine was withdrawn, presum-
ably for Jewish church goers, to sup
ply a population, solely Jewish, of
more than 100000 in Chicago. Many
of the "rabbis" and heads of "congre-
cations" bear Irish names and a per-
NIT was made out to Congregation"
which was located i'll the Emmett
club.
The graft in this business is said to
have run all the way from $35,0O0 to
$4,000 a week One of the principal
figures in the alleged conspiracy is
Greek, with powerful political afilia-
tons. He has disappeared. He was
the official "hxer" who could silence
all Investigators and smooth out any
interference by the police in the
wholesale booze game. Under cover"
men from Washington and other
cities have been here for some time
secretly collecting evidence of the
startling conspiracy, which involves
many persons hitherto considered re
spectacle.

MUST LEARN SPEECH
 OF WILD ANIMALS
Trainers Must Apply Themselves
 to Study Talk of Beasts

Berlin, Jan. o5.--All wild animals have language of their own and the only persons who can train and handle the beasts successfully are men and women who have learned their lan- guage and give it constant study. Such is the opinion of Otto SeilerJackson who has just completed D years ot service as q trainer of man-eaung animals and is now exhibiting his ed ucated tigers in a Berlin circus.
 Seiler-Jackson was born ill circus wagon and began training wild ami mals when he was 13 years old. His parents had travelling menagerie and both were trainers. He passed his boy hood in circus wagons wandering throughout Europe, so wild apimals have been his lifelong companions.
 At 13 he entered the Hagenback school in Hamburg. Then he went to India with Lord George Saenger, and remained in the jungle for eight years, hunting tigers and elephants and trap ping them for foreign geological gar dens. He later joined Bostock. the manegerie king, in England, and after short service there became an import ant member of President Rooseyelt's second expedition to Africa.
 iler-Jackson is married to Bour- bonnel, a popular woman clown. and they have been connected with various circuses in Central Europe since the tiger trainer returned from Africa.
 There are really no secrets about animal training" says Seiler-Jacllson. "One must learn the hnguage of the man-eating beasts. That comes with living with them day and night and watching all their movements. It soon becomes possible to tell at a glance exactly what their mood is and what every little grunt and growl means. can read the intentions of a tiger in its eyes I know whether he has aches and pains, and whether he is in an ill temper. can tell at glance whether I dare attempt to kiss him on the moustache or whether l must ap- proach him with a weapon.
 Raising ones voice is the first means of impressing an animal. A tiger knows from the tone and volume of his trainers voice whether he is expected to obey promptly. And of course one must keep tigers going all the time. It never does to let them stand still. Tigers are always thinking about how they can get the better of their trainer and of course one must not let them have any leisure for thought and must keep them guessing by standing in a different place each day when handling them and by con- ducting ones self in a different man. ner. Variety of action baffles them" ["
 Seiler-Jackson says he is confident that the wild animals he handles love him. But nevertheless, he says they are animals Of prey and it Is their nature to tear man and beast to pieces. So one cannot blame them for being hard to handle, and must not rely on anything which is foreign 10 their natural instinct.
 Feeding tigers is a pretty hard job in the Berlin of today because Of the shorta ge Of the meat supply and the extremely high prices.
