TBIMHIMI BETTER BUSIN ESS Increased Morals In Dealings Shown In Report of Federal ! Body; Many Prosecutions WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—A re j view of a year’s endeavor to re stain business methods opposed to I good morals and tending to mono poly was put before Congress to day by the Federal Trade Commis sion in its annual report. Along with the series of investigations and proceedings against hundreds of in dividual business houses and trade associations, the commisson de scribed the general economic inves tigations which it has conducted, by special order of or other wise, into the industries of grain exporting and coal mining, into ] speculation on exchanges, and into into trade practices such as that involved in the 'Pittsburg base” for steel sales in the west. There were, during the last sis- ; cal year, commission complaints di- I reeled against 2,384 seperate re spondents, alleging improper con- i iluet in commercial transactions, or : the maintenance of unlawful cus- 1 toms m trade. These, and others : pending, resulted in the final issue ' °f orders, directing individuals and groups to desist the practices ' complained against. Its findings in repeated 'investi gation of the bituminous coal in dwstiy, the commission said, were -till handicapper” by court re view and the maiility so far t ob and Corti.* 35 ° n inVestments > erimr 0 ? et!b .- p omerene law empow .Amerit'an concerns to asso der n ln eXport trade enteprise un- J. 1 comnnssmn scrutiny, had furn grounds at the end of the ' tries fo ‘ £? mblnat >ons in 123 indus ..tL , • lh ! s re P°rt noted an in , < cease in the amount of export busi -- under the associationj and a J’, o 1 lncre «se in the amount of .-as : n to the establishment of S ,n foreign markets ” 1 k ’»'- SOUTH'S IDLE LOOS WILL BE UTILIZED Northern Press Notes Opportun ities For Agriculture in Southern States ATLANTA, Dec. 12. Glos on the heels of the report of a com mission which has investigated land settlement and colonization in some cf the southern states, comes the statement of northern newspapers that the process should be compara tively easy because of 'the amount of rich lands obtainable cheaply in certain Southern areas.” Land in Georgia and .some other Southern states has increased in ! value only as about one-fifth as much as land in lowa during the last ten years, and the value of crops has shown no such divergence except in regions which have been temporarily succumbed by the boll weevil. The South, agriculturists here say, has never capitalized its agri cultural possibilities, as is evident by the fact that in this state onlya small portion of the tillable soil i. I cultivated. The West, it is asseri i ed, has been boomed all over the | world as the heart of agricultural , opportunity and has driven settle?., i even from the South. ( But the compass no longer points J that way, in the opinion of Hon. J. | I. Brown, Georgia commssioner rs agriculture. Alter so long a tim ■, as Mr. Brown shows, the South ac tuallv waking up to the infinite possibilities of its idle lands and i.i "to utili-.c-them. it u* Cunsid(3i'i‘i\ ( *■, Vij*. < the best mc'.'.'ej .' .V J the world such truths a.-, tna; a Georgia farmer can produce almost anything that grows anywhere on Georgia land. When such newspaper.--, as the bi<- metropolitan dailies of the north ■ take note of the movement and opportunities for agriculture in the bouth, some progress has been made, Mr. Brown declares. “For enterprising, intelligent men, the is V lc , garden spot of the vort<l agriculturally,” , ai( ] Cmn miSoioner Brown. 18— EXCEPTIONAL FILM ‘‘TIGER ROSE,” AT RYLANDER TODAY An exceptional film event is of fered patrons of the R\ lander today and '1 hursday in “Tiger Rose.” Pat terned after th (! Belasco play that scored the most successful run of any play on Broadway, starring Lc nore Ulric, the actress who created the title role on the stage, and who achieved such fame and popularity in her latest bit, “Kiki”; backed by David Belasco, whoe endorsement it bears, the photoplay presents a superb combination. INSECT Cotton price is high, but this doesn’t necessarily mean high pros perity for the grower. Before the boll weevil got busy, the American cotton crop was as big as 16 mil lion bales a year. The 1923 crop is not much over nine million bales, though- the acreage planted to cot ton this year was the largest ever. , A crop of nine million bales at 10 cents' a pound doesn't bring the planters much more than 16 mil lion at 20 cents a pound.

In the face of this ultimatum, the rebellious crew, in cluding one officer surrendered and order was restored.
