Plowing and planting was reported to be from two to four weeks behind in various parts of the district. Wholesale trade compares un favorably with figures for March of last year, and retail trade in the cities, while larger than in the previous month, was lower than during March a year ago, the re view stated. The fact that Easter was three weeks later this year also contributed to the decrease in re tail trade as compared with March, 1923, many buyers waiting until April to mak e their purchases, it was pointed out. Bank reports show somewhat large demand for funds that ex isted at the same time last year and while dema ■ d deposits are slightly lower than last year, sav ings deposits continue to show fav orable comparisons, the review said, adding that debits to individ ual accounts for the latest week available, April 16, wer; more than $24,000,000 greater than for the corresponding week a year ago.” Employment conditions continue satisfactory, it was stated, except for the fact that cotton mills in some of the districts have found it necessary to curtail operations because of lack of demand for their products, and coal mines in Ala-1 oama are not so active as they have j been. Chattanooga was the only city in the district to report larger re tail sales in March of this year than last, while Birmingham and Chattanooga were the only cities where March retail sales exceed ed the monthly average of 1919, acocrding to the review. As to agricultural conditions, the review pointed that because of un favorable weather during March, farm work, generally is from two weeks to four weeks behind in the district. Preparation of land for coton has been much delayed by bad weather in Georgia, but more calcium arsenate is being used than last year in Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. The freezes in March damaged some peaches considerably, but El bertas only slightly in Georgia, while Tennessee and Louisiana strawberries were hurt. The farm labor situation in Alabama and Florida is satsifactouy, but in Geor gia and Tennessee the supply is short, and in the cotton section of Louisiana there is a shortage, al though labor is reported plantiful in the rice and sugar sections. The decline in the price of cot ton during February and March lessened the probability of an ap preciably larger acreage over last ear, it was reported. The recent recovery, however, may tend to produce the opposite effect. As to the lumber industry, the review stated that production cf southern pine mills for March has ranged around 90 per cent of . or mal during most of the month while orders have been between 80 md 85 per cent of normal produc tion. Shipment during most of the month ranged a little below output and were slightly lower than or der during most of the month,, 14 and 21. Retail demand if de veloping more slowly than expect ed but the cold and rainy weather has retarded building to some ex tent in many sections, it was point sd out.

SAVANNAH RECORDER SCORES MILK DEALERS SAVANNAH, May I.—ln the opinion of Recorder Schwarz the sell ing of milk under insanitary condi tions, and contrary to regulations governing its sale is a greater men ace to civilization than the illegal sale of whisky.

SANTARY DEPARTMENT BEGINS BUSY SEASON VALDOSTA, Map I.—The city sanitary department is continuing its activity during the early spring days, insisting that prem ises be kept in a perfectly sanitary condition. 'ln the meantime the preliminary work against mosqui toes is well under way. Every possible breeding place for these pests is being sought out and de stroyed and such places as ednnot be entirely eliminated are being oiled and the early spring hatch in this way destroyed. The drainage recently of low area northcast of the city will make a marked dif ference in the amount of mosquito fighting the city will do this sea son. A greater portion of the area which was formerly under water has been eliminated, reducing the breeding capacity of that section. This drainage was accomplished through the joint work of the city and county authorities and will prove of great health value. SWIMMING FOOL AT DAWSON IS REPAIRED DAWSON, May I. Work of making the swimming pool owned by the American Legion ready for use this summer is now under way. The dam has been around the sides of the reservoir and the water will be confined to a small deep space rather than to large shallow area. The water formerly occupied a large area covered with brush and other objectionable growth. The improvements make it impossible for trash and dirt to be carried into the reservoir, and the water will be almost as clear as if it came directly from a well. Painting and other repairs are also being made on the bath houses and other prop erty. It is hoped by the legion naires that the pool will bg ready for public use by the 15th of May. The pool will no doubt prove to be a popular resort during the hot summer months. Dark Teeth Bleached in Three Minutes You have always longed for flashing white teeth.

BORAH COMMITTED TO EMEWE WHEELER Continued From Page One) is expected to make a report clear ing him in about ten days. Several witnesses antagonistic to Wheeler are yet to be heard and there is also talk of a mysterious letter, alleged to throw some new light on tne case. But a majority of the committee appears to have been convinced in favor of Wheel er by two witnesses—William Spry commissioner of the general land office and former governor of Utah and Edwin S. Booth, solicitor of the interior department at the time of the alleged offense, and now a special assistant attorney general It is probable that the committee will not be content with exonerat ing Wheeler, but will state as its opinion that Wheeler was meticul ]Ous in refusing to handle Camp bell’s federal business, specifically confining his services at counsel to cases before the state courts. If such a report is made, as is now expected, there is almost no likelihood of the senate seriously considering ousting Wheeler. Wheeler was charged in the in dictment with having represented a client, Gordon Campbell, Mon tana oil man, before the interior department in regard to land per mits. Spry, as head of the gen eral land office, and Booth, as legal representative of the department, were the two officials before whom Wheeler is alleged to have prose cuted his client’s case. Both denied Wheeler had done anything more than to ask for fair treatment for Campbell, in the same manner that all senator s are ac customed to act for the constituents wh 0 have business before govern ment departments. Another witness whose testimony was regarded as signifiaent was William G. Feely, local attirney, who was engaged by Campbell to act as'his land lawyer here. He testified he handled the cases be fore the interior department and that Wheeler had “absolutely noth ing” to do with them. Other wit nesses, including Campbell himself, testified that Wheelei- confined his This little dollar goes to market Every year every family of your acquaintance spends about 70 per cent of its income just for living, exclusive of rent —so economic experts tells us.

But it was the testimony of Spry and Booth which was given the most weight. As the committee now stands, a majority is ready to exonerate him. Chairman Borah and the two democrats, Caraway of Arkansas, and Swanson, of Virginia, are cer tain to vote for Wheeler. The two regular republicans, Sterling of South Dakota, and McLean of Con necticut, have not indicated how they will act. No date has been set for the trial in Montana, but Wheeler’s of fice has been advised there will be no May term of court and that the case can not be tried before Sep tember at the earliest.
