HUNTERS MUST
/. HAVE LICENSES
State Fees Must Be Paid Even
If One Takes a Chance On
Violating Federal Law

Hunters who shoot doves during
the open season in georgia Aug. l
to Aug. 81 inclusive in defiance OF
the federal law protecting migra-
tory birds, must have state licenses.
This was stated here today ByJ. E.
Mathis, county game warden, who
says efforts are being made now to
have the state law amended so rs
to conform to the provisions Of
the federal statutes.
Reports of violations OF the game
laws have already been received in
Americas, and Warden Mathis to.
day expressed regret at these, say.
ing he had hoped to have the whole
hearted cooperation of all true
sportsmen in the enforcement Of the
states game laws this season. With
this cooperation, he says, the exist
ing game bird supply can be pre-
served and maintained throughout
many years, with sufficient shoot
ing permitted during the open sea
son each year to satisfy even the
most ardent sportsman.
Game birds of many varieties are
of extreme value to agriculture,
experiments have demonstrated, and
with their Disappearance new and
alarming insect problems are eX-
pected TO be encountered, accord
ing to calculations of eminent boz
tanists who have studied closely the
problems involved.

Diplomatic immunity" is one Of
the most priced perquisites Of
foreign officialdom in Washington
It's chief value, in the eyes Of
the ordinary citizens Of the capital,
is that it enables those TO whom it
is extended to bring in, free alike
from customs duties and prohibit
ton interference, pure and potable
alcoholic beverages.
But to the diplomat and fSieir
families that is merely incidental.
One diplomatic dowager who
parked her car by a fire plug the

policeman who accosted her. She
was not diplomatic in her Ian

Prince of Wales Scheduled to
Visit National Capital 'Incog
Next Month
BY HARRY 3. HUNT
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON, July 3d.
When the Prince Of Wales, DISCUS
ed as Baron Renfrew, comes to the
States next month to watch the
polo tournament, there will be no
mad rush from Washington to OBJ
tain invitations to luncheons, din
ners. etc. in his honor.
Not that Washingtonians don't
like the prince. They do. Bur
most of them also like food.
And from experience during the
princes visit to Washington a few
years ago it was found that lunch

handicaps.

During the princes sojourn in
Washington, a select group of q
Representative Americans, moss
of them from official and ultra
fashionable circles, were asked to a
private luncheon at the town house
of Perry Belmont, where Wales had
taken up his residence.
The royal scion proved a most
charming fellow. He knew off
hand the personal interests and
connections of each of his guests,
and conversed intimately and at
length with each. Meanwhile,
luncheon waited and appetites
grew. When the party finally
was ushered into the dining ROOM

Of most of those present was food;
food substantial and plentiful!

Alas! however, for such fond
hopes.

developed, royalty must be served

guests mustn't have much appe-
tite, either.
Perhaps the prince had break
tasted late that morning. Perhaps
he's light eater. Anyway, the
prince got his first and did noe
wait on ceremony to satisfy such
appetite as he had.
Before the guests at the foot of
the table had much more than
licked their chops in anticipation OF
The delicacies to come, His Royal
Highness had finished.

The chicken salad supper and
bazaar which was given by the mem
bers of the P. T. A. at Oak Hill last
week was a perfect success. Even
though the crowd wasn't so large
which was caused by the muddy roads.
There were enough people to do the
buying. Twenty-six dollars was
cleared from the fancy work table,
due to the efforts of Mrs. Zipplie, who
had charge of it. In all, the supper
netted the association sixty dollars.
The money is to help start a commun-
ity library. The members who had an
active part in the supper are to be the
ones to select the books.

planted too early the cool soil and
excessive moisture delays germina-

and a poor stand results.
Best Planting Methods
Beans should be planted in rows
with sufficient space to permit culti-
walton. On irrigated land the rows
are spaced from 22 to 80 inches apart
and on dry land from 80 to AZ inches
apart, the wider distance being pre-
ferred where the ordinary corn plant
ers and corn cultivators are used.
Experiments on the Huntley expert
ment farm showed best results when
beans were Is inches apart in rows
80 inches apart. The ordinary grain
drill with holes stopped up to pro-
vide the desired spacing has been
successfully used to plant beans. The
Grow planter may also be used.
On irrigated land many farmers
prefer to plant from 20 to 25 pounds
of seed per acre, but on good rich
land where an abundance of irriga-
ton water is available, 80 to 40
pounds have been planted with good
results. On dry land IA pounds per
acre is considered sufficient.
