Condition Due To Efforts of Of
ficers and ‘Non-Coms’, Says
General Holbrook
WASHINGTON, November 20.!
Readiness for active service an 1
morale among American cavalry
regiments has shown distinct im
provement “due to the very de
voted efforts of the officers and :
non-commissioned officers,’’ Major
General Willard Holbrook, chief of
port made public today. General
Holbrook added, however, the "re-;
cavalry, declared in his annual re-1
grettable observation” that there I
has been marked deterioration of
cavalry mounts due to the advanc
ing age of troops horses and lack
of necessary remounts.
The morale of the cavalry ‘‘can
be characterized, without qualifi
cation, as high," General Holbrook
said. Thc.re was conspicuous
esprit during the year in the first
cavalry division posted cn the bor
der wh'ch had attracted attention
of the Inspector General, he said.’
Ihe Inspector General also noted
“visible improvement during the
year in all border cavalry.” 1
General Holbrook said the work
of the cavalry division had alreadv
proved this to be an excellent
training school for officers and
demonstrated that the division oc
cupied ‘‘a conspicuous place in our
scheme of preparedness.”
Amcng recommendations to the
.secretary of War, General Hol
brook included one urging the pur
chase ol sufficient cavalry re
mounts “to replace the shortage
which will exist July 1,

WOMEN TO PRESERVE i
JNO. B. GORDON HOME
ATLANTA, Nov. 20.—Preserva
tion of the John B. Gordon hoipe
' i Kirkwood, is being sponsored by
the Kirkwood Civic League, a mem
ber of the Georgia Federation of
Women’s clubs.
This home was the gift of the
South to General Gordon and was
a number of years a mecca for
I Southerners.
I Standing on an elevation and sur
. rounded with wide grounds, it L
a fine example of the style of
Southern home architecture, and
while the residence of General Gor
den it was the scene of many gath
rings of distinguished people.
The?home will be converted into
a Georgia museum and library, if
the Kirkwood club succeeds in car
rying out its recent plans, it was
stated by officials.
I RAISE SEVEN BALES
ON THREE ACRES LAND
SUMMERVILLE, ' Nov. 20.
i What is regarded as one of the
most remarkable yields of cotton
ever produced in Chattooga coun
ty was made this year by H. H.
Rivers, a weell-known young farm
er living four miles south of here,
. seven bales having been produced
'on three acres. Each bale averag
| ed slightly over 400 pounds.
This yield, considering the boll
weevil activities rnd adverse crop
conditions, is a record-breaker for
Chattooga county, and very likely
for the state.
Mr. Rivers claims that the boll
weevil caused practically no dam
agee to his cotton.
W hile this is the largest yield
per acre Mr. Rivers lias ever made,
he has gone above the bale-to-the
acre yield for the past several
years.
Decay of wood is not due t odirect
chemical action or the action of the
elements, but is always the result
of the activity of low forms of
plant life which feed upon the wood
■ and destroy it.
