A native of one of the little European countries was in Washington one day recently, and a crowd around a drug store was quizzing him about the dairy ing business in his country. Do you people make any money out of the busi ness, he was asked. “Well” said he, laconically, “we have no pasturage to speak of; we have to house our cattle nine months of the year, and steam heat the buildings six; we raise no feed stuff, but import it from the United States; we then ship our entire prod uct back here to you people. Dairying is our only business, and we are not asking anybody for anything.” Think of it! And Georgia, the finest dairying country the sun ever shone on, where all the feeds can be grown cheaper than 'anywhere else in the world, where cattle can live the year ’round in her pastures where they do not have to be housed summer or win ter, and Georgians doubtless eating butter and cheese fi;om this little coun try in question. Comment is unneces sary—Ex. For the first time since his inaug uration as chief executive of Geor gia, Governor Hardwick kept the doors to his private office closed throughout Monday and Tuesday, while he busied himself on the preparation of his mes sage to the General Assembly, which will convene Wednesday, June 28. Governor Hardwick has been called upon to deliver so many commence ment and other addresses over the state that he was delayed in starting his message and found it necessary to decline all invitations and to forego all engagements for the first part of this week. He also has asked visitors to postpone their calls. Monday and Tuesday the Governor conferred with the various heads of departments at the Capitol, in order that he might find out from them what recommendations they had to suggest concerning their branches of the state government. It is understood that Fred Telford, representing Griffenhagen and asso ciates, Chicago efficiency engineers, will complete his repoj^ this week and submit it to the Governor. This re port will cover investigations of the various commission.s, boards and bu reaus maintained by the state and the Department of Agriculture. Recom mendations based on the report will be incorporated in the Governor’s mes sage. Mr. Telford has been investigating office locations and waste spaces in the Capitol, and is said to have worked out a system whereby the present of ficials housed in the Capitol will have plenty of room, and the Departments of Health, Military Affairs, and others now in rented quarters, may be brought back to the parental roof. Governor Hardwick has given no intimation as to the contents of his message, but it is known that,he is spending much time on consideration of the state’s fiscal system. He is expected to recommend important changes in this, as well as strict econ omy in administration and the elimina tion of all extra appropriations. THE BOLL WEEVIL PROBLEM. The boll weevil has great interest for Georgia, and the latest information has been compiled by the Department of Agriculture in Bulletin No. 1262 on “The Boll-Weevil Problem.” I believe there is much information in that bul letin which should be in the hands of every Georgia cotton grower, and I will be glad to send a copy of that bulletin to any one requesting it. Let me know when I can serve you, and with best wishes, I am Very sincerely yours, WM. J. HARRIS.

The reading course for those who desire to renew their certificates is as follows: Primary and General Elementary 1. Manual for Georgia Teachers. 2. Kendall Jand Myrick’s How to Teach the Fundamental Subjects. Southern School Book Depository, 121 Auburn Avenue, Atlanta, Ga., $1.80. 3. Dresslar’s School Hygiene, South ern School Book Dep., $1.20.

A six weeks’ course at any of the standard summer schools will auto matically renew professional or first grade certificates, provided the teach er sjiows her certificate from the sum mer school authorities that she has completed her courses in education. This, of course, means that the renewal is possible if the certificate has not been allowed to become out of date, through failure in the past to renew at the proper time. It is hoped that all teachers who avail themselves of these examinations. Special examinations will probably not be given tq those teachers who have from year to year failed to Dike the regular examinations. MEN REITERATE ATTITUDE Claim Wage Cut Deprives Some Work ers Of Living Wage And Strike Is Only Recourse Cincinnati, O.—Formal notice was served on the railroad labor board by the chiefs of ten railroad unions of their intentions to go through with a strike in event one is authorized by the 1,225,000 workers whose wages are to be reduced on July 1 on orders of the board. Coupled apparently with the action of the rail unions leaders with a state ment that the "railroad workers have no alternative except to fight,” made by John L. Lewis, leader of the strik ing coal miners, who will meet with the rail union leaders to consider joint strike action. He also pledged the miners aid to the rail men, but de clined to state definitely what might result from joint action. The notice sent to the railroad la bor board, in the form of a letter, re iterated the rail union leaders atti tude on the threatened walkout, which was first definitely asserted in their statement. The previous state ment also included the declaration that an overwhelming vote was being cast for the walkout. The letter said: "When there occurs a miscarriage of justice of such colossal and perma' nent injury to railway labor as your decisions will bring about, the only means of remedy which the injured parties have is to refuse to accept your decisions. This procedure is per fectly legal. While it should only be used as a last result, one member ship may decide It to be fully justi fied by your denial of elementary and long established rights and by the se riousness of the situation which you have created. Your decisions have been submitted to a strike vote of our members and we are awaiting the re sults of their action. Should our members decide not to accept your de cision, or in other words to strike, we shall sanction their action and advice you accordingly.” The letter said the rail union chiefs had done everything to avert a strike, pointed out that no appeal was possi ble from the boards decisr ns, and re stated that the unions’ contention was that the transportation law required a living wage for employes at the bot tom of the scale of occupations, with higher rates for other workmen, ac cording to their skill, hazard of em ployment, responsibility, training and experience. Mr. Lewis, the miners’ chief, while asserting unwillingness to discuss the outcome of the coming conferencq with the rail men, said the miners “will do anything that is helpful and constructive for the railroad men and for the miners themselves.” “I am convinced,” declared Mr. Lewis, “that the railroad men and the rank and file of the railroad organiza tion frankly recognize the necessity of making a fight regardless of the con sequences. And in that fight they will have the whole-souled and active co operation of the mine workers. The nature of that co-operation depends upon circumstances, but the help of the mine workers will not be of small consequence.” TO FOLLOW TJUHilFF IN SENATE MOTION TO CONSIDER BONUS MEASURE IMMEDIATELY AF- TER TARIFF BILL CARRIED DEBATE LASTED FIVE HOURS Adoption Comes After An All Day Fight To Get The Measure Before The Senate Two Women Dead In Fire At Club Minneapolis, Minn.—Two women were burned to death in a fire which destroyed the fashionable LaFayette club at Minnetonka Beach, Lake Min netonka, near here.

Washington —The soldiers’ bonus bill was made by a vote of 52 to 8 the special order of business of the senate immediately after the final vote on the tariff bill, unless It is dis posed of before that time. Adoption of a motion to this effect came after an all day fight at the outset of which an effort to get the bonus before the senate failed. Sev eral senators gave formal notice that they would continue to press for ac tion on the bonus ahead of the tariff. A move to upset the program of the Republican majority calling for action first on the tariff was launched by Senator Walsh (Democrat) of Massa chusetts, who made a formal motion that the tariff bill be displaced by the bonus measure. Senator Watson (Re publican) of Indiana moved to lay this motion on the table, and his motion prevailed 51 to 22. Eight Democrats supported the Watson motion and two Republicans voted against it. The roll call follows: For the motion—Republicans: Borah, Bursum, Calder, Cameron, Capper, Cummins, Curtis, Dillingham, Du Pont, Edge, Ernst, Ferald, France, Frelinghuysen, Gooding. Harreld, Jones of Washington, Kellogg, Ladd, Len- root, Lodge, McCormick, McCumber, McKinley, McLean, McNary, Moses, Nelson, Newberry, Nicholson, Norbeck, Oddie, Phipps, Poindexter, Shortridge, Smoot, Spencer, Sterling, Sutherland, Townsend, Wadsworth, Watson of In diana and Willis—43. Democrats: Dial, Glass, King, Myers, Pomerene, Swanson, Underwood and Williams—8. Total for: 51. Against the motion—Republicans : LaFoilette and Norris—2. Democrats: Ashurst, Broussard, Caraway, Culber son, Gerry, Heflin, Hitchcock, Jones of New Mexico, Kendrick, McKellar, Overman, Robinson, Sheppard, Sim mons, Smith, Stanley, Trammell, Walsh of Massachusetts, Walsh of Montana and Watson of Georgia.—20. Total against: 22. With the announcement of the re sult of this vote the bonus row began in earnest and waged for five hours. In the midst of it Senator Watson of Indiana offered a motion that the bo nus be made a special order of busi ness immediately after the final vote on the tariff, and thereafter it be held continuously before the senate unless two-thirds of the senate voted to dis place it. A point of order made by Senator Underwood of Alabama, Democratic leader and an opponents of the bonus, was sustained and the two-thirds vote provision was withdrawn. - After a long discussion the motion was further modified so that a mo tion to proceed to the consideration of the bonus would be in order at any time. Some opponents of the bonus supported this motion, but eight of them east their votes against it. They were Dial, King, Myers and Williams, Democrats, and Edge, Pepper and Wadsworth, Republicans. Several op ponents were absent. Charges flew thick and fast during the debate. They included assertions that the delay in acting on the bonus was for the purpose of killing it; that those who made millions out of the war behind an organized and exten sive propaganda to defeat the measure and that the Republican majority was planning to use the bonus as a club over the heads of opponents of the taiiff measure to shorten debate on that bill. FAVORS CONSIDERING OFFER Nebraska Senator Say* He Is Willing To Displace Tariff Bill For Ford Offer Washington.—A determination of a fixed policy for the development of the government’s projects at Muscle Shoals, Ala,, before congress adjourns was asked by Senator Underwood, of Alabama, democratic leader, during a discussion in the senate of Henry Ford’s offer for the properties and the propaganda campaign, alleged to be in progress both for and against acceptance. Senator Underwood said he believ ed there would be an opportunity for the senate to act on the Muscle Shoals matter in the period intervening be tween the passage of the tariff bill and the report of the conferees on that measure, adding that inasmuch as the government invited Mr. Ford to make his proposal, the Detroit man ufacturer and the country were entit led to know what disposition con gress would make of it. Senator Norris, of Nebraska, chair man of the agriculture committee, which has been investigating the va rious Muscle Shoals proposals, declar ed he was willing to displace the tar iff bill and consider the Ford offer or any other. "But,” he added, “that Is an impos sibility. There is no use deceiving ourselves as to the situation before us and I don’t believe the senate will be able to fix a policy for Muscle Shoals at this session.” The discussion was precipitated by Senator McKinley, republican, Illinois, who read a letter from James E. Smith, of St. Louis, president of the Mississippi Valley association, urging acceptance of the Ford offer. Senator McKinley said the letter was received by a South Dakota merchant and was a part of the propaganda beiDg con ducted throughout the country in be half of the Ford proposal. “I have always deplored that class of propaganda,” he said, “Issued by organizations, but in reference to this matter there has been as little prop aganda as on any question that has come before the congress. There is good reason for quick action on Muscle Shoals. Since this adminis tration has come into power funds have been withheld although it was by no fault of the senate. “It is a matter of record,” he con tinued, “that this proposal came from the secretary,of war and not from con gress. He suggested more than a year ago that the proper way to develop Muscle Shoals would be by private en terprise. He called' for bids and Mr. Ford made his offer. For that reason, action should be taken soon that Mr. Ford and the country may know the result.” ’ The Alabama senate called atten tion that the projects were lying idle, returning no benefit to the country. He also declared Mr. Smith repre sented a great organization in the Mis sissippi valley devoted to the improve- NINE INDICTMENTS FOR CONSPIRACY HARVEY’S SON-IN-LAW IS NAMED AS CONSPIRATOR IN PLOT ACCUSED PLEAD‘NOT GUILTY’ Indictments Outgrowth Of Foiled Ef* fort To Send Machine Guns To Irish Trenton, N.
