HALLOWEEN
BY Emily Bates

Mary was a little girl. She lived,
with her parents in little cottage.
They were poor people but were
very happy. They had lovely gar

bles
One day as Mary was out wedding
the garden, she walked into the
pumpkin patch She came upon
large pumpkin, she looked at it ard
thought day after tomorrow is Hal
lowe'en. She snatched up the pump
kin and ran into the house. moth
err" she cried, look what 1 found
Can l have it?"
Yes" replied her mother, you
can make you a jack-o'-lantern out
OF it and go with Mable on Hallow-
cen"
ooh goody," cried Mary as she
danced into the kitchen. She took a
knife, scooped out the inside, cut
ey es, nose and a mouth; she took
candle from the shelf and put it in
the pumpkin.
Halloween came and the two mer-
ry little girls went over to Mrs.
Jones', put their JACKIE lanterns uup
to the window. Poor Mrs. Jones, she
sure got frightened
What looking things are these?"
she cried. Mable and Mary started
to run.
They almost got to the gate, when
what should they see? There stood a
big white thing. and black thing at
its side
who are your" cried Mable, but
they only growled.
Who are your" again repeated
Mable.
81 am a ghost said the white
thing.
II am WITCH" replied the black.
100! You horrible things" cried
the girls as they started to run. They
never stopped running till they got
home, then the happy girls went to
bed and dreamed of Hallowe EN-.

THE TOWNS MUST COOPERATE WITH

THE FARMS-There is not merchant bank
er, dealer in farm other supplies, corpora
ton with factories and agencies scattered thruout
this section any other individual or concern
whose interests are bound up with the welfare
OF this section who is not much concerned in
whipping the boil weevil this year as any farmer
who has planted field of cotton
Every town, no matter what its size has as
much at stake as any group OF farmers.
For crop failure in 1924 would hurt all busi-
ness interests, even it would inure farmers.
We can not by any possibility have prosperity in
town when there is prostration on the farm
1t is therefore of the utmost importance that
as the farmers prepare to battle the boil weevil
with intensive cultivation and barrage of poison
the towns prepare to cooperate heartily in the cam
paign.
Are there farmers in any county who, the
result of financial they have suffered, find
themselves unable to arrange for the purchase of
calcium arsenate and the equipment necessary
for its effective use? Where these conditions exist
it is the duty of the towns, thru trade bodies,
merchants associations, clearing house associa-
tions, civic clubs other bodies, to assist farm
ers in making arrangements to obtain poison.
A little serious reflection will make it clear to
any intelligent person that this battle with the
boil weevil in 1924 is going to be crucial and de-
cisive If left to multiply and spread the cot
ton fields, the pest will destroy the crop, and next
winter Old Man Hard Times will be knocking at
the door, But if met with poison barrage in
every cotton field; if the application of poison is
begun early and persisted in till the crop is made,
the boil weevl will not be factor in the situation.
There will be profitable yield of cotton, and
Old Man Hard Times won't get look-in.
For the agriculture of South Georgia is splen-
didly diversified this year No more cotton has
been planted than be properly cared form
tensively cultivated and effectively poisoned 1t
only remains to press the fight and make victory
certain. @s6a
Work and poison early and late that's the
winning combination.
And win we must Albany Herald.

RoMEs EVERLASTING ROADS

ROME'S EVERLASTING ROADS-An expert
has been examining into the roads of Italy and
he finds that the Roman Empire was intersected
by roads constructed principally between the
second and fourth centuries after Christ and
some Of them are still in use. Says this writer:
These highways varied in width from eight to
fifteen feet, and almost universally built in
straight lines without regard grade probably be-
the use of beasts of burden the chief
of transport made the preservation of the level an
affair of minor Importance.
Soldiers slaves and criminals were employed in
the construction of these highways the durability of
which is shown by the fact that in some cases. they
have sustained the traffic of 1000 years without ma
terial injury
The Roman Forum is said to have been the point
of conveyance of twenty four roads, which, with
its branches, had total length of 52o64 Roman
miles.
OF course, we haven't slaves to use in road
building now. We use e;nvicts OH some of orr
roads, but if they tested h lmanely as the
regulations require they do not work much hard
er than free labor. We are doing some road con
structing ourselves but we doubt if the light gray
ribbons of concrete that ntersect Georgia will
be here 1000 years hence. But 1000 years from
now road may be an oddity anyway About all
we may have will be landing stages for flying
machlnes.-Savannah Press.

Unusual Party

A new chief in command of the
Los Angeles poolice gave banquet to
the prisoners of Lincoln Heights Jail.
Not only we're the "eats" good and
abundant, but there was a great deal
of liberty allowed the guests in their
speeches. They did not fail to make
use of their privilege, and had some
sharp thrusts to give the courts, the
Judges, the prosecuting officers and
even the Salvation Army lodging
houses. 1t was a great event for all
concerned, and the police officials, in
particular, learned a good deal in Grim
inoogy which was one object of their
chief in giving the supper. The os-
tensible cause for the celebration was
the opening of new Jail, and one that
is distinguished too, by an absence
of bars and keys.
