HANNA H. s.
SATURDAY MITE

The Rawlins High School basket
ball team played the Hanna High
School at Hanna last Saturday night
and Rawlins came out the winner
by a score Of 32 to 6.
The reports which have reached
this city state that Hanna has a
high school team this year which is
far superior to any teams which the
school has had In past years. The
players are all fast, clean and are q
smooth working bunch. Considerable
praise has been given to the players
and to their coach, who refereed the
game.
The first quarter ended 0 to o,
which had the effect Of making the
Rawlins team look at 1t hole cards.
Shortly after the second quarter the
Rawlins team got its goal-shooting
machine in order and the scores be-
gan to be checked up for Rawlins.
Pappas, who was shifted from guard
to forward, showed up very good in
that position and it is believed that
the Rawlins team has been greatly
strengthened by the move. Eng
strom again showed that he was the
best goal getter for the team and
Monahan played a very good game
at center. Rawlins got the tip most
of the time with the result that the
signals were worked to very good
advantage.
The defense of the Rawlins team
again showed up especially strong
and accounts for the low score of the
Hanna team. Bud" Winston and
Pat Bates played the guard positions
and they proved to be a very good
combination.
A whole team of substitutes was
run In a few minutes before the last
quarter was up. Rawlins High School
has a return game with Hanna on
Rawlins' floor on January 23rd.

Worst Coughs Yield
Quickly TO Good Old
Pine Tar and Honey

One of the best cough medicines
that was ever compounded, accord
ing to specialists, is good old pine
tar and honey. 1t often stops a bad
cough in "a hours, and another ad-
vantage is that it can be given to
young and old alike, as it contains
no narcotics or opiates. Doctors
say the pine tar quickly loosens and
removes the phlegm and congestion
which are the direct canSe of the
coughing, also healing soreness,
while the honey both soothes irri-
tation and gives a pleasant taste,
The kind that has been used in
thousands of families for many
years for coughs, chest colds,
hoarseness, spasmodic Group, etc, is
DR.. Bells Pine-Tar Honey, which
was the original compound. 1t has
had many imitators, but still re-
mains the best, as it is scientifically

LIGHTS INCREASE
EGG Production
Day Lengthened By Use Of Avti-
fetal Light Brings More
Eggs

Experiments during the past
three years at the State College
have demonstrated that artificial
lights, used properly, will greatly
increase winter egg production and
thereby increase profits.
BY lengthening the day by the
use of light, the hens are allowed
time to consume a greater amount
of food and therefore make more
eggs.
There are three methods Of using
light to make the day twelve to
fourteen hours long, according to
j. H. Wood, rofesosr of poultry
husbandry at the State College and
in charge of the experiments with
artificial illumination Che first is
to turn on the lights at Aft M.
and allow them to remain on an
hour. The second method is to use
light from 6 A. M. and keep them
on in the evening until 8 O'Clock.
The third, called "the evening
lunch method" and which has prov
ed the most popular in the eastern
states, is to turn the lights on at 8
in the evening and tllow them to
remain an hour.
AT the College the first method
has been used, and it was found
that birds under light laid from
thirty to sixty per cent more than
birds not under light.
Prof. Wood advises the use Of
lights on either pullets or hens
when the object is to market eggs,
but he says they should not be
used on breeders until the breeding
season, and they are not generally
needed in Georgia at that time. Il
talks about two weeks for lights to
affect egg production.
