ATLANTA DOCTOR CLAIMS
THAT TO BE ABLE TO BEAR
PAIN IS SIGN SUPERIORITY
ATLANTA, Ga.. March 10.—The next
time you hit your shins or stump your
toe or sit down on a red hot stove, en
joy your pain and thank your stars
that you’re not a fish. Revel in your
suffering and be glad when, as Uncle
Remus used to say, you has “a misery
in your back.”
An Atlanta doctor contends that
ability to feel rain is an evidence of
the superiority of the human mind, as
well as the human anatomy, over the
mind and physiological structure of
the fish.
When a fish gets hooked in the gills
it doesn’t hurt him at all, and the
reason he acts uppity is because he
wants to eat the bait; whereas a man
would lose hiS appetite for apple pie
with a hook through his gills, and
that’s what makes him superior.
WANT THE SPECIAL
SESSION TO ADJOURN
WASHINGTON, March 10—The sen
ate steering committee seems to favor
an adjournment of the special session
of the senate next week so that the
senators will be allowed to go homo
before the extra session begins on
April 16th.

MISSIONS DISCUSSED
IT SPLENDID MEETING
Yesterday at Salem church, about
three miles from Americus in the 27th ■
district, the second of a series of meet
ings was held for the purpose of dis-j
cussing various phases of the mission
work of the Methodist Church South,
Rev. Paul W. Ellis, pastor of the
First Methodist church of this city,
delivered a powerful sermon at 11
o’clock before a congregation which
filled the church to its capacity.
The ladies of the church prepared
and served dinner on the grounds and
tl.e meeting continued during the as-,
ternoon.
On Friday night, Rev. O. B. Chested, '
presiding elder of the Americus dis
trict, preached at Salem church at
the first of these meetings of the
mission institute. The churches of
the Americus circuit are developing a
greater interest in mission work and
these meetings at Salem are expected
to result in better co-operation.

CALF CLUB WORK GROWING
IMPORTANT IN GEORGIA
I
ATHENS, Ga., March 10.—The ani
mal husbandry extension division of
the Georgia State College of Agricul
ture reports that the calf club work
being prosecuted by it is arousing
much entusiasm.
The twelve thousand dollar prem
ium list is proving very attractive to
' the qoungsters of today who will be
' the substantial stockmen of tomor
row. Railroad interests, packing hous
es and breed associations are cooper
ating with the College in its pioneer
construction movefent.
A representative of the division has
just returned to the college from
Newton county where he organized an
' other enthusiastic calf club. Newtou
county early took a conspicuous stand
in the breeding of Jersey cattle, and
later turned their attention to the
whitefaces. The breeders of that
county are backing the calf club
movement, and who knows but what
the grand champion for the state will
be uncovered then.
Dairying is of prime consideration
ir. Putnam county, and the agent
there has notified the college he is
ready with a strong calf club. The
calves are jersey heifers, true to
type, and with the improved care and
attention they will receive under the*
directions from the college they are
bound to grow* into more valuable
dairy cows than they would otherwise
i ha v e done. S
I For the past five years the average
I value of cattle in Georgia has increas
j cd more than $5,000,000.00 annually H
■ the interest in calf clubs continues to f
grow as it has during the past six (
| months it is not an idle speculation to {
'.state the increase in value will soon t
.rise to $10,000,000,000 annually. £
I a
; CAN ANYBODY DEFINE AN
OYSTER FOR, THE BENEFIT g
OF RAILROAD COMMISSION r
, r
ATLANTA, Ga., March 10.—Is an g
oyster a fish? If it is not a fish, what 0
;is it? Certainly it is not an anima). v
. Can anybody define an oyster for the r
benefit of the Railroad Commission of
. Georgia?
I The puzzling and perplexing <sues-
I tion arises because a concern which
deals in fish and oysters has sought to
collect a penalty from the Southern
Express company because a shipment
of oysters soiled in transit.
The fish and oyster dealer claims
that a rule of the Railroad Commis
sion requires the express company to
give notice of the arrival of fish, and
' hence it is responsible for the spoiled
oysters; while the express company
claims that an oyster is not a fish, and |
therefore it is not responsible.

SAYS BOBINS AKE FLYING
SOUTH IN GREAT DROVES
ATLANTA, Ga.. March 10.—Robins
have been seen flying south in great
droves during the past few days in
Georgia near the Alabama line, and
the old-time weather prophets de
clare trat this portends a long winter
and a late spring.

seen this far south this year than for
many winters in the past. Usually
most of the robins come as far as
southern Virginia and stop. Some
of them stopped there permanently
when the writer of this was a boy. for
robins make fine pie.
