SOURS ON EUGENE Once an admirer of Governor Tul* madge, the editor of The Walton (Ga ) Tribune Iiuh turned critic and in hits paper last week, regaled his readers witii tills prose-poem deriding the governor's preachmehtH against the tripic-A and reproaching him for exchanging his widely advertised red gulluses for silk shirts: Come, mates, I'll tell a story that is fresh and hunkadory, although so sa<l and tragic that it hurts! Eugene, the brave defender of the (laming led suspender, has 'abandoned all such truppings for silk shirts! ills action leuves me grieving that a man is so deceiving, that bunk und bile und hooey are his fluirs; that he tells the nation's rulers they're a lot of foppish foolers, while he plays up to the selfish millionaires. "Oh, the tax is simply rotten! we would get much more for cotton, corn and pinders, plums and maypops were they free!" thus proclaims this husky gullant who is long on talking talent, , who forgets the dark, drear days, of thirty-three. Meanwhile in the sundrenched bleachers stand ten thousand unpaid ! teachers who caiwhank this doughty | monarch for their plight; wan and ; worn, they stint and borrow, hoping i for a bright tomorrow when their , cause will be adjusted, fair and right. I Thoughtful men and women shud! der with this wild man at. the rudder, never knowing what a new day may | produce; whether Gene will tackle j Franklin while his illbred ire is rank! ling or decide to romp on Hitler or 11 Duce. Often when the night is dreary I behold a sight that's eerie, a'flaming rod suspender dangling from a phani torn arm?then my thoughts grow cold and callous as 1 recognise the gallus as the sort thai Eugene fond; led to work up a false alarm. Oh, 1 say it's sad*and tragic that Eugene has lost his magic with the honest Georgia man with whom lie llirts; but the farmer's not so simple as to smash the 3-A temple, and he knows that Gene is lined up with silk shirts. BIGGEST ESTATE IN THE WORLD It Is in Australia and Is Larger Than Some European Countries. What is the world's biggest estate? The question is prompted by the news that the Zumoiski estate in Poland has been reduced by half, the family having handed roughly over ">0 per cent of the lands to the nation. Before this was done, the estate was 2,">0.0i?0 acres in extent. Even now, it is bigger than any estate in Britain. But the largest estate in the world is not in Europe at all. You have to go to Australia If you want to see it. There you will find the holding of Sir Sidney Kiddman, famous as the Australian cattle king. It is over 39,000 square miles in extent, larger than Ireland, Austria, Hungary, or Portugal.?London Answers.
