The crew of the wrecked dirigible

The other celebration at Boston
was not quite so elaborate, but ~

Such celebration and such
presentation in Cobb's recruit day
was unheard of. A rookie had fev
privileges in those days. A ST.
boost in his yearly contract wae
the most he could look forward tc
in the way of appreciation for b.

And it is all too true that base
ball in those days wasn't merely
pastime; it was fight. 1t was TIL
day of sharp spikes and heavs
fists. The fellow with the handiest
pair of dukes was oftimes regarded
as the best player.
And the fighting was not always
restricted to the players OF the OPP

This Gautreau lad incidentally
is Gate a ball player and one or
the big reasons for the recent sen
sational squirt of the Braves. He
is a little fellow. standing about
five feet six inches, and doesn't
weigh more than 160Mpounds. He
is very fast afoot though, and his
arm is also exceptionally strong.
At the plate the lack Of weight
prevents him from being a very
robust socker. But he manages to
maintain a $50 average by insert
ing single here and there-tsu
ally at an opportune moment.
He is a graduate of Holy Cross
College and for that reason is very
popular in Boston. He was signed
by Connie Mack last June but
there was no room for him in the

waivers were asked on his services.

JUNE!
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

June. with rosebuds in her hair and fra
grant kisses on her mouth! Small wonder
that this midmonth of the yeartime should
nave been named after the queen OF heaven.
Blue are the eyes of June, and her trailing
robe is of the fabric of milk white clouds.
The perfumed winds are her couriers- winds
sweet with the scent of clover bloom, and
bearing the minstrelsy of droning bees
Brides walk the ways of June, for brides
and blossoms are in natural affinity. And at
ter the brides comes the child, who, some
day. will walk knee deep in June"
Out there, Just beyond the city's gates,
wing and sing the choristers of heaven; out
there walk the spirits of Audubon and Wilson
and Thoreau and John Burroughs-lovers OF
melodious JOY familiars in natures labora-
tory whence comes the fulness of Junetde' 5
dreamy witchery.
The needs of life realize their quickening
at this maternal period OF the year The insect
orchestras tune their cryptic instruments. The
priestly stars bestow their benedctons upon
world kneeling before the velvet affairs OF
the dark.
Then morning, with its prisons OF blended
harmonies-all sounds that soothe, or stir to
deeper JOY; the cheep of baby bird the purl
OF waters the cricket's drowsy note, the dis
tant call of mourning dove, the winds whis-
perings soft laughter, the shouts of nomad
youth afeld asplash in comrade waters

Has Harmed Georgia.
From the Savannah Press.

Major John S. Cohen, who recently spoke
before the Atlanta Retail Merchants Asso-
citation, declared that he was not one of those
who believed that the taxation system of
Georgia was bad.
He did not think that we need any radical
change any decided tax revision, He
thought that our revenues were practically
sufficient for all legitimate state purposes in
Guiding schools and higher education. Geor
gia's tax rate, limited to FIVE mills, is lower
than any of our surrounding states. Its reve-
nues are ample, but, what Georgia needs IS
business application and practical administra-
ton. We want business methods; officials to
see that every dollar expended by the state is
economically and wisely spent.
Major Cohen was of the opinion that con-
slant agitation for so-called tax reform" has
done more harm in Georgia during the past
three years than all other detrimental agencies
combined This he quoted as the opinion of
the comptroller general. The statement that
Georgia is not raising sufficient revenue to
meet this appropriation was not true in 1921,
when it was voCierOusly noised abroad. 1t
is not now true. There is a margin OF prac-
tically 100000 between the revenues and the
appropriation. The total revenue of Georgia
raised by taxation for state purposes is 81,
100000 more than North Carolina, 100000
more than Florida and $2,000000 more than
Alabama Public schools in Georgia are not
starving. More than $5,3000O0 are paid for
education in this state, an amount greater
than North Carolina
Major Cohen insisted that Georgia does
not need new tax laws so much as the en-
forcement OF existing laws. The state is made
the victim Of failure to limit the tax rate in
counties, according to the comptroller gener-
al The state rate is fixed, but the county
rates are unlimited
Major (Oheu expressed his belief that It
would be a tremendous mistake for the state
of Georgia at this time to enact an income
tax. 1t would keep out industries from this
state Georgia's inheritance tax is not irksome
but it should not exceed Is per cent of the
federal inheritance tax. Still such tax is as
unsound in theory as if the state OF Georgia
were to attempt to levy tax on imports.

Crops and Soil.

Tobacco which is being grown to much
larger extent in south Georgia than ever be-
fore, is one of the crops that have long been
regarded as having an especially harmful eff
feet on soil productivity This does not seem
to be true however, according to the United
States Department Of Agriculture. The sys-
tenn Of cropping rather than the tobacco crop
itself is mainly responsible where general ex-
haustion of soil has resulted, says the depart
ment. This conclusion has come from the re-
suits of rather extensive cropping tests with
tobacco which the department has had in
progress for several years.
In general it has been found that the yields
OF succeeding crops especially the small
grains, are better after tobacco than after
corn In comparative tests the yield OF to-
bacco after corn has been better than after
tobacco, but potatoes have given poorest
yields after corn and best yields after tobac-
CO. Corn in continuous culture has given
somewhat reduced yields as compared with
production after tobacco and potatoes. Dit
ferences in fertilizer treatment have changed
the general level Of crop yields, but have not
changed the relative crop effects in these
tests

Good for Georgia.

The grouchers and the maligners OF Georgia
will not be pleased with this optimistic and
encouraging note from a recent issue OF the
Lavonia Times:,"Mrs. Nora Lawrence Smith
of the Ashburn Wiregrass Farmer, has just
returned from a months trip to the north.
She says it is surprising to note everywhere
you travel over the north that the talk is all
about the south. The eyes of everyone are on
this section. The capital district is the center
OF the textile industries. That section is not
what it used to be five years ago, for the tex
tile business is also following the trend OF
the times and drifting southwark. 1t is good
to know that Georgia is making progress
along this line and now ranks fourth in cot
ton spindles. With our natural advantages
and with our water power being developed
it should be first
Georgia is coming along alright despite
the fact that the few who would be much bet
ter engaged if they did not keep their ham
mers in action. It's sorry thing to do, too.
