FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 1914.
W. C. Barker, a millionaire clubman,
of Portland, Oregon, was sentenced
to five days on the rock pile
when convicted of speeding. He expected
a fine, but pot sentence to
the rock pile. It will b<T a pood
day for law and order and the decencies
of life when the same medicine
is handed out to lawbreakers of
all kinds, elsewhere.
With bandits killing missionaries
in China and each faction in Mexico
murdering Englishmen, Americans or
anybody else that in the least pets in
their way, it seems that the millenium
is yet a pood way off.
Two more aviators were killed
Wednesday at Salisbury, Enpland.
Capt. Allen and Lieutenant Burrouphs,
of the Enplish army were the
victims. Conquest of the air, as conquest
of any other sphere must be
paid for in blood. There is no other
way.
Secretary of War Garrison Wednesday
ordered the entire Seventeenth
Infantry, of Fort MePherson,
to the Mexican border to bepin patrol
work at once. Two batalions of of
the Ninth Infantry have also been ordered
to the Mexican border. Unless
more consideration is shown by the
Mexican contestants for non-combatants,
it will not be lonp before the
border of Mexico will be crossed. But
u is 10 oe iiopen that this will not be
necessary.
The friends and relatives of I.eo
Frank, convicted of the murder of
Mary Phagan in Atlanta, are certainly
making themselves heard through
the newspapers. We do not undertake
the passing of judgment on this sensational
ease, but if justice has miscarried,
it is hard to continue to believe
in our courts. A long trial, much
money, learned counsel and ever>
conceibable advantage was with
Frank in his trial. Twelve men agreed
in the verdict that resulted in his be
inp sentenced to death. We are willing
to leave it there.
WET WEATHER FRIENDS.
Everybody has seen what is called
a wet weather spring. In the rainy
season this same spring, fed by shallow
rills and wet top soil, pours forth
a fine stream of water, bold, clear and
pood to look upon. But after the
rain clears away it bepins to fail,
and finally a dry hole is only thing
left of the one-time sparkling spring.
There are many socalled friends
who are much like this wet weather
spring. They show great boldness
while fortune smiles. When dry and
trying times come they recede from
view. They vanish in the smoke of
battle. They run away in the heat
4.1 C-Li mi l i - *

when things !?e^rin to go to a ranged
edge. They make jolly companions
while your larder is full, but scorn
your humbler condition when poverty
knocks. They comfort you when you
do not need comfort, lend you when
you do not need the loan, fight for
yourself, but when your case is reversed
their conduct undergoes a
transformation. They withhold help
when you need it; strike you when
you are down; speak ill of you when
you need to be favorably spoken of
and withhold from you when you are
are distressed by poverty. A man
friends. It is well to cherish these
to the fullest. One true friend is
worth ten thousand wet weather
f riends.
The Times editor is much obliged
to the city authorities for the ^prk
done on Church street. Sand is better
than mud for walking purposes.

NEW HOPE
Mr. Editor, what was the matter
with the typesetter last week; he
had my letter marked from Bethlehem.
Will give the readers an interesting
story of a goose ranch out in Arizona.
While this is styled as a story, it
;0 ? *?tV. AIJ-?a tai-i
to U ival IBM,, Hie num. nuuru riSK,
x banker of Miracopa county, Arizona
has made heaps of money out
>f geese. Mr. Fisk's farm is located
a few miles from Tempe and not far
from Miracopa. His place is sometimes
called Goose City. At that time
there were two thousand geeze grazing
around the Fisk farmhouse, and
he is genially called the "goose
king." In this flock were a few bad
actors. They would get into arguments
with their neighbors and if
their keepers are not on the job
some rough neck starts trouble. And
invai iably some members of the gander
gang gets hurt. But troublemakers
among the goose colony are
handled just as if they were men.
A calaboosQ has been erected on the
farm, and every bad-acting gander is
locked up just as soon as his character
has become known. The calaboose
is divided into cells in order
to prevent the prisoners from attacking
one another. Ganders on this
farm must conduct themselves just as
any gentleman would do on polite society.
A gander caught misbehaving
is given a few days in the calaboose.
While he is in prison he getfe all he
I rstn eat and drink and wiion tin lino
served his time he is so fat that he
can hardly waddle, but instead of being
allowed to associate with selfrespecting
geese again he is hustled
off to market. When a goose gets a
leg or wing broken or meets with
some other misfortune, it is rushed
off to the gooses' hospital, which is
one of the most impressive buildings
on the farm. Every attention is given
the patient. If the case needs
surgical attention it gets that, but
the large percentage of inmates ot
this institution suffer from diseases
which requires treatment with medicine.
Mr. Fisk admits that he is the
goose king and is proud of the distinction.
"I can make more money
out of my geese in a few weeks than
1 can out of my bank in a year," said
Mr .Fisk.
While his bank of Tempe is a thriving
little institution, everything Mr.
Fisk interests himself in must thrive,
for that matter, it would take but
small rank among the banking industry,
while the goose farm is the largest
in that part of the country. It
was through marked success in dealing
in geese that the bank was made
possible, and it takes more than goose
sense to make cents enough out of
geese to start a bank, even a little
country oanK. cut ivir. r'isK lias
other interests aside from the thriving
little bank and his many g^ese
that fatten his yearly income by getting
fat fast. He is one of tl\e largest
landowners in that section, having
acquired more than a thousand acres
of the land, not an acre of which is
valued at than 250. Mr. Fisk's
operations in" gepse have to do only
with fattening the birds. Few are
hatched on his large estate. Hatchin
ggeese is a slow process for a
man who wants to make large profits
out of geese. Young and gaunt, they
are received by the car load from the
South, principally Tennessee and Kentucky.
Round and fat they are
shipped a short time later to the
eastern markets. But in that time
such a change is effected that a car
which holds 2,500 upon their arrival
at the Fisk farm will scarcely bold
1700 when they are hurried off to
the market. An average goose upon
its arrival fit the Fisk farm is worth
about 70c, the same bird brings about
I S 1 70 urknn it of oft.*- .. ? -?
y?xu < nvii iv ovai vov i"i tuc imw
The change cost about 30c while the
transportation charges both to and
from the farm will not exceed 20c,
leaving the feeder an average of 50c
profit on each bird handled. Two
thousand dollars for three weeks'
work is fair returns even for a banker.
But the investment and th?s risk
?the risk is comparatively small.
Geese are remarkably hardy and free '
from diseases that infest other pouTtry,
and their habits are such that
they require little attention. As my
letter is growing too long will stop
this story until next time.
Today is spring-like. The farmers
are wanting to see some sunshine, so
they can begin preparing for their
many crops. We trust to see a few
weeks of sunshine and air.
Uncle Moxy solved the problem.
Did you have some help?
i ne nens *.re makiatr it sound like
spring by their singing and cackling.
The trees are beginning to put forth
buds.
Misses Allie Whitlock and Ailene
Bishop spent the week-end with Miss

home of his parents last Sunday
night. When Mr. and Mrs. Vinson
retired for the night the child was
apparently well as usual. On Monday
morning when they arose, they
supposed the little one was sleeping,
as was its custom and did not examine
it, except to cover it carefully.
Immediately after breakfast Mr. Vinson
left for Buffalo in a few minutes,
Mrs. Vinson discovering on going to
the bed that the child was dead.
Friends were called in and Mr. Vinson
was notified at Buffalo over tjie phone
and returned at once. The funeral
services were held at Bogansville on
Tuesday at one o'clock, being conducted
by Mr. W. J. Mayes. The
people of the community extend
sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. Vinson in
their sad hour.
