“Father and Son.” means some-
thing more than a Sunday School
supper, a Rotary meeting or a golf
tournament. A review of last season’s
records discloses several striking in-
stances of father and son capturing
first honors in various agricultural
contests.
In Arkansas W. T. Beall, of Wilson,
won the State Five-Acre Cotton Con-
test for ajults and his son, Elstner,
won two Stat?-wide contests for stu-
dents of Vocational Agriculture; one
was in cotton growing and another in
j corn. E'atncr also was awarded first
1 corn production among voca-
j tional students in the entire South.
L. S. Strickland of Royston, Ga.,
proved himself the best cotton farmer
in Georgia for the year and his son,
Thomas, won the State cotton cham-
pionship for boys in 4-H Agricultural
Clubs.
Three prize winners in one family
was the enviable record of B. N. Dar-
nell and sons of Glen Allen,- Miss.
Mr. Darnell won the State Cotton Con-
test. His sons, Watt and John, won
first, and second prizes, respectively,
in the 4-11 Corn Club Contest for boys
in their ( purity.
Among these prize winners, there
are three points which all agree are

Chief Executive Saw
Point of Good Joke
One of the first things Washington
learned of Millard Fillmore when he
ascended to the Presidency upon the
death of Zachary Taylor, in 1850, was
that Fillmore possessed a keen sense
of humor.
Shortly after taking the oath of of-
fice it became necessary
President purchase a new coach. Be-
cause of the dignity of tis position,
Fillmore thought the coach should be
somewhat out of the ordinary, and
sent an old White House servant, Ed-
ward Moran by name, to shop about.
Moran eventually learned that a
wealthy citizen of Washington was
about to leave the city and wished to
dispose of his elegant equipage, which
seemed to him quite the thing he was
seeking.
The President viewed the coach
and liked it immensely, but “How
will it do for a President of the
United States to be riding around in
a second-hand carriage?” he asked
Moran.
Moran could not resist the oppor
tunity. “Sure,” he replied, “you’re
only a second-hand President.”
Fillmore thought this remark was
one of the wittiest he had ever heard,
and told it on himself so often that
be became known among his friends
as the “second-hand President.” In-
cidentally, he bought the coach and
used it during his three-year tenure
of office.—Brooklyn Eagle.
Supplemental Meal
“Tiffin” or “tiff,” the more usual
form, is the name of a light repast be-
tween breakfast and lunch, says the
Pathfinder Magazine. It is derived
from an old northern English word
“till,” meaning to drink, sip or quaff
The tiffin is a general custom only [
in India. The refreshments at the
tiffin usually consist of curried foods
and fruits. Sometimes the word “tlf-
brought the complaint on the part of
Sheriff Harry Burns and some of his
friends that The Champion had re-
ported the incident inaccurately, and
unwittingly had injured the sheriff
and his assistants*
The Champion had only one desire
in publishing the story, and that was
to present the facts as accurately as
■possible. Since no member of the
staff■ witnessed the event, it became ■
necessary to try to arrive at the true
facts through interviews with those
more familial’ with the actual oecur-
ance. ' F|i-om suc|h ‘information, we
published what-we believed to be a
true, unbiased report, with no sensa-
tional flourishes and no attempt'ta
protect or to harm any office or par-
ticipant in the affair.
i Since the complaint, we have made
further investigation of the affair
' and out of fairness .to Sheriff Burns|
we feel that we should state that in,
‘addition to those who actually took
[part in securing the prisoner from the
'sheriff, there had congregated at the
jail at the time a considerable crowd.
The negro was not captured until
about daybreak Monday morning and

An Old Map
The family was enjoying a delicious
pineapple dessert for dinner. A young-
er member of the circle inquired of his
wise father where most of the pine-
apple came from. The father ex-
plained that most of it came from the
Hawaiian islands in the “Atlantic”
ocean. An older daughter told her
father he was mistaken about their
location. After a heated argument an
old geography was found in the attic.
The daughter soon found the Hawaiian
islands in the Pacific ocean.
“Now, daddy, what you got to say? •
Who was right?” said the counterpart
of father. '
“That’s an old geography. We'll
have to buy us a new map,” replied place in
