Northeastern France. In 301 Langres
was pillaged. The invaders were beat
en and they swore “never again.’ In
351 they reconquered the left bank of,
the Rhine. in 354 they devastated Lv-i

vaded and plundered Belgium.

Herr Haase voted for the war budget.

they will never do it again.

ATLANTA LETTER
* *
+++*+++++***♦***+*
Atlanta, Ga., April 28. —“I wish to
urge all cotton merchants in Georgia, as
well as those throughout the country, to
prepare at once to meet the demand for
cotton, which must come speedily in
northern and middle Europe,” declared
United States Senator Hoke Smith, of
Georgia, in discussing the subject. He
says the probabilities all are that ship
ments of cotton can be made freely into
Germany and Austria within thirty
days. He has been in correspondence
with the War Trade Board and is urg
ing them to issue licenses freely to cot
ton merchants to shin cotton on their
own account or to , <>' t >1 merchants re
siding in Holland, Denmark, Norway
and Sweden. At present cotton can on
ly be shipped to Holland by consign
ment to the Netherlands Overseas Trust
to Denmark by consignment to the
British Chamber of Commerce of In
dustry; to Norway by consignment to
the Norwegian Cotton Mills Associa
tion and to Sweden bv consignment to
the Swedish Cotton Spinners’ Associa
tion.
Reports on the growing live-stock in
dustry in Georgia, which cattle men
here have discussed; show unques
tionably that much of the success and
profit of stock-raising is due to the
interest that farmers are taking now
in keeping their cattle from the open
range. In counties where the “no
fence” law is in operation requiring
stock owners to keep up their animals,
scrub stock is rapidly risappearing,
and there are fewer losses from death
on railroad tracks and by automobiles.
It has also proved a big factor in the
conservation of food and leather, as
emphasized by the National Council of
Defense.
Prevalent prices show that the stock
raiser is getting better financial returns
on his animals than ever before, which
in itself is leading to an expansion of
the industry. The indications are that
Georgia will be one of the leading stock
raising states of the country during
the next few years.
The Georgia Board of Certified Public
Accountants has announced that ex
aminations will be held on May 21st,
and 22nd, next, in the rooms of the
Tech School of Commerce in the Peach
tree Arcade Building, in Atlanta. Ap
plicants should be filed before May 12,
either with Chairman Joel Hunter, Em
pire Building, Atlanta, or with Secre
tary R. W. Jamison, of Macon. The
demand for public accountants is ex
traordinary at the present time,
brought about primarily by the new
and complicated federal tax law.
A state highway system that reaches
every county seat town in the state,
and giving each county its just share
and proportion of highways, is provid
ed in the Andrews bill, which will
be introduced at the next session of the
legislature. Judge T. K. Patterson,
chairman of the Highway Department,
has analyzed the measure and gives
it his unqualified endorsement. The
author of the bill is Colonel Walter P.
Andrews of Atlanta, former state sen
ator, who has been devoted many years
to the subject of good roads and is
recognized as an, authority on the sub
ject.
The bill provides for a bond issue of
thirty million dollars to be known as
Georgia Road Bonds. They are to bear
interest not exceeding 5 per cent an
nually, and shall be free from any tax
or other charges leviable in Georgia,
or in any other state, and are to be
retired in twenty years.
The Highway Commission will be
representative of the whole state, there
being a member from each congres
sional district. The chairman of the
commission will be a competent engi
noes, who will supervise the work of
construction and maintenance. His sal
ary is fixed at 16,000 a year, with trav
eling expenses. The salary of the com
missioners will be $lO a day and travel
ing expenses, while in the discharge of
their duties.
Under the bill special taxes are to
be levied by the general assembly up
on motor vehicles of not less than 00
cents per horse power for passanger ve
hicles; $4.00 each for motorcycles and
$25 per ton capacity for trucks and
tractors using pneumatic tires, and
double this amount upon trucks and
tractors when solid tires are used, an
nually. Tho special taxes will lie first
applied to the payment of interest on
the road bonds and the principal as it
may fall due.
Figures given out in connection with
the sale of War Savings Stamps have
brought some interesting comparative
statements showing that the south,
which from time immemorial has been \
rebuked and derided because of its
wastefulness and improvident habits,
has increased its per capita savings
much more than have the northern and
western states during the last four
years.
This per capita increase was along
other lines than in the investments
made in War Savings Stamps, much to
tlio regret of the War Savings Organi
zation of Georgia, which was compell
ed to note that, as far as the per capita
sales of War Savings Stamps is con
cerned, Georgia and other southern
states have fallen far short of their
per capita quota.
However, even alon gtliis line mark
ed improvement is expected owing to
tlie new plan which recently went in
to effect. State Director Ivan W. Al
len and Vice Director Walter G. Coop
er, together with a very large and rep
resentative committee of educators
from various parts of the state, early
in the year drafted a program of study
for all the schools and colleges of Geor
gia whereby systematic instruction is
given in the principles of thrift and
the value of economy as a personal,
state and natienal asset, not to men
tion the fact that the practice of thrift
at present is one of the means of re
deeming Georgia’s war pledges for tke
sale of War Savings Stamps.

Protecting Turkeys From Coyotes.
In certain parts of the West flocks
of domestic turkeys on frontier farms
are protected from attacks by coyotes
by tying small bells to the necks of the
gobblers. The tinkle of these bells is
sufficient, in most cases, to keep the
animals away, while not infrequently
unprotected flocks which have wan
dered far from home are annihilated
by the beasts. —Popular Mechanics

AN IMMENSE CROP.
The winter wheat prospect is put by
the Department of Agriculture at 837,-
000,000 bushels. The largest winter
wheat crop we have had was 685,000,-
000 bushels in 1914. The aggregate
winter and spring wheat has exceeded
the present estimate of winter wheat
alone only three times. The Depart
ment has no report yet of the amount
of wheat winter-killed, but the belief
in tho trade is that the amount is the
smallest on record, for while the wheat
belt had an unusually thin covering of
snow, the cold was tempered to the
bare fields, and the plant is said to be
exceptionally vigorous. The forecast of
the department is based on the assump
tion of average abandonment of acre
age and average influences on the crop
to harvest. If it be true that the aban
donment is less than ever before, the
crop should run much above the figures
the department gives. The estimate of
a Chicago grain house that the winter
wheat will reach 930,000,000 bushels,
therefore, is not unreasonable. The
largest yield of spring wheat we ever
had was just under 352000,000 bushels,
in 1915. There are indications that the
spring wheat area this year will be
greater than ever before.
