Although the federal prohibition
force in Georgia was built up to a
reVnaijkable degree of efficiency
during the administration of D. J
Gantt, southeastern supervisor, much
confusion followed the general reduc
tion last spring in the number of dry
agents. Since many men have been
dropped from the force because of
the shortage of funds it is admitted
in federal circles that the law has not
been nearly so effective as when more
men were in the field.
„ However, some of the suspended
agents have been replaced on the
payroll, and a gneral reorganization
of federal prohibition work is under
way. The administration of Mr. Dis
mukes will be observed with interest
as the dry force in this section has
been considered one .of the best in
the country.
Director Fort has had charge of
the enforcement squad for only a
few weeks. Until recently his du
ties had to do with the supervision
of the distribution of alcohol and
similar products, but when the office
of supervising agent, held by D. J.
Gantt was abolished, he was placed
in authority over the dry agents.

JAPAN ACCEPTS U. S.'
PROGRAM FOR PARLEY
Cabinet Agrees To Agenda, At Least In Principle,
On Suggestion From Washington, Tokio
Newspaper Reports
TOKIO, Oct. 1. — (By Associated Press.)—The Japanese cabinet, after
lengthy deliberation yesterday, decided in principle, according to Asahi
Shimbun, to accept the American suggestions as to the agenda at the Wash
ington conference on limitation of armaments and Far Eastern questions.
YOU AND I
CANNOT BUY GOODS, TO
FURNISH JOBS UNTIL ALL
PRICES AND COSTS SEEK
SAME LEVEL. f
'THIE only thing that can end un-
* employment is employment. The
only thing that can provide employ
inent is widespread buying by the
public. ’ The unemployment confer
ence knows this. It is obvious. Soon
we shall have “drives” to stimulate
buying. But that can only be a tem
porary stimulant.
A blind man can see why buying
is stagnant.
I The Bureau of Labor Statistics
says that wholesale prices are above
i 1913 prices in these percentages:
Housb furnishings 130, building ma
terial, 98, clothes and clothing 79,
fuel and lighting 82, metals and
metal prodines 20, food 53, farm
products 18.
How can the farmer, getting only
18 per cent more for his crop than
he got in 1913, buy, for instance,
house furnishings wholesale! at 130
per cent higher price than in 1913?
There will be no general' buying
movement, to furnish emploment, un
til all prices seek the same level in
comparison with pre-war prices. That
will necessitate equal lowering of
costs is- all industries. Will it come?
Yes.
Water seeks its own level, and
price deflation is the water of
economics.
NO
The prong - (horned antelope,
slaughtered by hunters on western
plains, is near extinction. Ten speci

with great difficulty, and will be
sent to Wichita Preserve, Idaho, to
preserve the species.
What for? If these antelope in
crease much, they soon will be prey
for hunters again. Nature is through
with the prong-horned antelope. She
is exterminating it as she extermi
nated the dinosaur and the mammoth.
Let it fade into oblivion peacefully.
FOOD
Everything is unimportant until
food has been provided for. The big-1
gest Internationa Inews today comes
from the Department of Agriculture 1
—that the world wheat crop this year;
is 65,000,000 bushels bigger than las* I

It is 110,000,000 bushels bigger I
than the 1909-1913 yearly average.!
The French crop is as big, bushel fori
bushel, as .in pre-war years.
Once thy world gets its stomach |
full, it will stop agitation and get
down to work. The gullet rules man
and governments.
DISABLED
About 150,000 Americans, now
living, were completely disabled by
industrial accidents. Fifteen thousand
of them became totally blind while
at work. So reports the American
Engineering Council.
Nearly every industrial accident is
due to some one’s carelessness.
Automatic safeguards help, but
they cannot render work fool-proof.
Absolute safety requires persona;
caution.

AMERICUS, GEORGIA SATURDAY
RECEIPTS REACH
12,000 BALES OF
71 COTTON HERE
Picking Practically Completed—
Market Inactive At Week-
End
Cotton receipts at the three Ameri
cus warehouses reached the 12,000
bale mark Saturday afternoon. At
noon tht receipts stood at 11,908
bales, and it was said that more than
100 bales were in sight for the after
noon. However, receipts were much
lower than a week ago, having been
tapering off rapidly this week.
! The market was inactive Saturday.
I Spot cotton, good middling basis, yas
quoted at 20 cents, but this was nomi
nal, as there was practically no trad
ing. The growers were not offering
at 20 cents, practically all that had
i been held for that having been dis
' pored of during the week, anti the
’ buyers were not actively bidding. The
i dullness of the market resulted from
i the comipg of two government re-
I ports on Monday—ginnings, which
| will be announced at 9 a. m. in Wash
ington, and condition, which will be
announced at 10 a. m. Practically
I all operators were waiting at the i
j week-end for these reports. As a I
) consequence the future market sag
ged a bit at Saturday’s close.
The cotton in this section of the
state is now practically all picked and
most ofj it ginned. Thos. G. Hudson,
of, Americus, former state commis
sioner of agriculture, now a fertil
izer dealer, this week motored well
over the territory embraced between
Americus, Vienna, Perry and Monte
zuma.
“1 covered that whole territory and
I don’t believe I saw a total of two
wagonloads of unpicked cotton,” said
he. “I have never seen anything like
it on the first of October. The fields
are clean and there are no more bolls
to open.”
Mr. Hudson expressed the contin
ued belief, however, that Sumter
county’s crop would total between
wwF-WIW-bales.
WOULD MAKE LAWYERS
PASS TESTS ON BIBLE
DAYTON, 0., Oct. I.—All can
didates for admission to the bar
should be compelled to pass exami
nations on the Bible and the works of
Shakespeare, in the opinion of Dan
iel W. Iddings, former president of,
the Ohio Bar Association. Mr. Id-1
dings has urged that all bar organiza- ■
tions upon passage of such ex-,
amindWffr as prerequisite to the tak-j
ing of the bar examination proper.
and recommends also that candidates
be quizzed on Blackstone’s Com
mentaries.
“The source of all law really is
in the Bible while Shakespeare point
edly brings out the foibles of law,”
declares Mr. Iddings. Blackstone’s
Commentaries, he says, should be
read by every lawyer at some time
during his career, for “it must ever
remain the greatest exposition of
what the Anglo-Saxon law really is.”
“Such examination would compel
the reading and study of these great
literary masterpieces,” Mr. Iddings
continues, “and certainly no man can
read and understand the Bible with
out being benefited morally, and the
same is true, although to a lesser de-1
gree, of Shakespeare. The biggest
duty of Bar organizations is insist- ■
ing upon early and universal action
on this important subject.”

HOPE IS REVIVED
FOR IRISH PEACE
De Valera’s Acceptance Os Invi

LONDON, Oct. 1 (By Associated
Press). —England today was filled
with 'hope that a settlement of the
Irish problem would follow the meet
ing of the British cabinet members
and representatives of Sinn Rein Ire
land in this city October 11. The
prompt reply from Eamonn de Va
lera, accepting Premier Lloyd
George’s invitation and the concilia
tory tone of the latest exchanges
seemed to promise that out of the
conference would come an agreem mt
that would solve the problem.
In a cries, business-like message,
Valera last evening informed Lloyd
George of his acceptance of the pre
mier’s invitation for a conference.
The reply raised no questjpn as to
the status of the Sinn Fein delegates,
and no further correspondence be
tween the premier and the Irish Fad
er is expected.
“We received your letter of invi
tation to a conference in London Oc
tober- I], with a view to ascertaining
hew the association of Ireland with '
the community of nations known as
the British empire may best he re
conciled with Irish national aspira
tions.’ said Valera in his reply.
“Our respective positions have!
been stated and understood and we I
agree that conference* not corres
pondence, is the most practical and
hopeful way to an understanding.
“We accent the invitation. Our
delegates will meet you in London
on t.n-e date mentioned and explore
every possibility of a settelement by
personal discussion.”

BATTERY COSTS BACK
TO PRE-WAR PRICES
“It is a relief to be able to sell a
battery that does more and costs less
than ones we had before 1914.” said
Mr. Turpin, proprietor of the Battery
Sei vice Company.’
“Maybe it wa-- Ihe result of the
waste in materials and the foobsh
price of labor that was paid during
the war. Maybe it was the increased
efficiency that battery makers learn
ed under stress that made them pro
duce a new one that I am selling to
day. The Philadelphia Storage Bat
tery Company made it. They eall it
the Ford, Dodge and Buick Special

about it: It gives one hundred pet

these batteries contains quarter
sawed hard wood separators and is
guaranteed for a full year’s contin

“But,” queried the reporter, “are
ycu not blowing your horn?”
