S Askings whom President Butler means vjien he says “When yon hear a pSblic officer or a candidate for elective office cry out with particular unction for law enforce ment, tag him on the hip,” the Com mittee declares he certainly cannot mean Pqjsident Coolidge, and con tinues “such sweeping utterances are at least unfortunate.” . Besiddg this, the Committee ac cuses Dr?. Butler of misrepresenting the position of President Coolidge. It claimsrhe quoted from an address by President Cqolidge when he was Vice President and would give the impressiTßi that the President then deprecinftd the triumph of prohibi tion. out that Mr. Coqli dge was Sot speaking of prohibition, but on Limitations of Law” in general. ~The statement also points out thatJin the same adress Presi dent Coqjidge called for all citizens “to enfofice, support, and obey the law.” ; The statement, which is a formal reply tor the address of President Butler ML fore the Missouri Society and to Wis recent newspaper com munications) is in part as follows: “Let §ie public take ’careul no tice of pr.

GRADUATING CLASS HEAR STEPHEN PACE LESLIE, May 27.—Union High school’s commencement season came to close onday evening with the exercises of the graduating class and a literary address by Hon. Stephen Pace of Americus—l2 bright, beautiful, hopeful girls and four manly promising young men received diplomas which were de livered to them in splendid form by Mr. Pace and were gracefully taken by the class. The exercises of these young people were carried out with unus ual merit and excellence—in fact it is the general impression that the scholarship average of the class of 1924 rises to a high plane testi fying to the diligence and patience of the faculty and the determination of the class. It is pleasing* and en couraging to note that with each re curring commencement evidence of good work and training is at hand —how proud the people should be and how strengthened, to sustain and expand this fine undertainking in our midst. These “Home Col leges” should lie ever near the hearts of one and all, for here are the future leaders in citizenship to be equipped for their life work. The address by Col. Pace was characterized by richness of diction, clearness of expression, charity of thought and forcefulncss of de livery, thus placing it in high rank (imong services of this kind—it is conffiently Ao be-hoped that the noble ideals pictured to these young people by the speager will bear rich and full fruitage in the years to come. It reminds us that it is q habit of Col. Pabe always to re spond to calls dis service of this kind amongst, his people and how inspiring and encouraging it is when our prominent and strong men are willing, amid the exacting la bors of professional life, to go forth to do unselfish service or the betterment and elevation, ai d in spiration of our people- WOMAN ATTACKED BY ASSASSINS LOSES EYE BELLEVILLE, 111., May 27 Mrs. S.

HIGH COURT DECIDES STATUS OF HOME TROOPS WASHINGTON, May* 27. Troops in cantonments in this country dur ing the world war, in thaining to go over seas were “not operating against an enemy,” the supreme court held Monday. The government raised the ques tion in a case against Charles J. Ferris, who during a part of the war served by order of the com manding general of the 80th division as colonel of the 315th field artil lery in training at Lee, Va.

A THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER GEORGIA CINE CROP NW BELOW NORMAL Ccmmisisoner Brown States Reports Received Indicate Shortage in Crop This Fall ATLANTA, May 27.—Reports received at the office of the state department,of agriculture here in dicate that production of sugar cane in Georgia this year, as well as in Louisiana, will be consider ably below normal, according to J. J. Brown, commissioner of agri culture. The crop in Georgia was report ed to be “one of the shortest in the way of stand,” while reports from the Louisiana cane producing sec tion stated that, the crop is a month late and “plant cane stand poor due to bad conditions of seed.” Reports from Cuba, however, show that production to April 30 was considerably in excess of that at the same time last year and plantings practically uninterrupt ed. Figures as to total estimated crop the year was not given. Information regarding the cane crops of Louisiana and Cuba was obtained by the commissioner at the request of a cane grower of South Georgia who stated that be cause of the poor condition of the crop, he was in doubt as to wheth er or not it would be profitable to go to the expense of further ferti lizing his cane crop.

Creditable records for production of milk and butterfat have been made by more than 100,000 cows under the supervision of agricultural col leges and recorded in the Advanced Registry.” A national sale of 120 purebred Holsfeins will follow the meeting. RETAIL HARDWARE MEN IN SESSION ATLANTA, May 27 The South eastern Retail Hardware and Imple nual association began its ninth an nual convention this morning at 10 o’clock, in the*city Auditorium.

WHAT VETERANS WILL GET UNDER BONUS ACT (Continued From Page One) on roads or other construction or repair work—for the period during which his pay was equalized to con form to the compensation paid to civilian employes in the same or like employment; Any individual who was discharg ed or otherwise released from the draft—for the period of service terminating with such discharge or release. These periods referred to may be include, however in the case of any individual if and to the- extent that the Secretary of War and Secre tary of the Navy jointly find that such service subjected such indi vidual to exceptional hazard. Each veteran shall be entitled: To receive “adjusted service pay” if the amount of his adjusted service credit is SSO or less; To receive an “adjusted service certificate” if the amount of his service credit is more than SSO. The administration of the law is under the United States Veterans’ Bureau, which after March 1, 1925, will make the SSO or less cash pay ment to veterans and Jan. 1, 1925, will begin issuing the 20-year en dowment life insurance policy cer tificates. These certificates will be dated at the time issued to veterans, and no loans will be made on a certificate until two years after its date of issue. If a veteran has died, before mak ing application, his dependents wdl be paid the amount of? his Adjusted Service Credit. If this credit is SSO or less, payment will be made in one sum by the Veterans’ Bureau. If the credit is more than SSO, the pay ment will be made in ten quarterly installments. If the veteran has died after mak ing application, but before January 1, 192.5, then the amount of the full face value of the insurance policy will be paid in the same manner as if he had received the policy prior t° his death, but not before January 1, 1925. The face value of the 20-year En dowment Insurance Policy which a veteran will receive, is the amount which his Adjusted Service Credit, plus 25 per cent would’ purchase at his age, based upon American Ex perience Tables of Mortality, with interest at 4 per cent per annum, compounded annually. If the veter an dies before the expiration of the 20 years, his beneficiaries or estate will receive the full amount of the policy, in cash in one sum. If the veteran is living at the end of the 20-year period, the government will pay him the full face value of his policy in cash, less any claims for sums borrowed on it. MRS.

Covert to Present InteX<eting Report Before Presbyterian Assembly GRAND RAPIDS, May 27 That Christian education is a basic requisite for a living church is one of the keynotes sounded in the first annual report to be presented to day to the Presbyterian General Assembly in session here by the new Presbyterian Board of Christ ian Education. The report is to be made by Dr. William Chambers Covert, general secretary. In the reorganization and con solidation of Presbyterian agencies as now represented in the Board of Christian Education Dr. Covert finds that the Presbyterian church is at last undertaking to face the problems of Christian education with genuine educational earnest ness, with well-recognized educa tional standards in mind, and with educational ideals dominant. A comprehensive program of Christ ian culture, making its contacts with age groups from the youngest children to university students, is now under way through a well-ar ticulated organization of all Pres byterian educational activities. The comprehensive plan of the board carries its educational purposes into adult life. It also includes an educational approach to the practi cal subjects in the realm of temper ance, moral welfare, and Sabbath observance, in the knowledge that Christian education holds the key to an intelligent and loyal church leadership and a truly patriotic citizenship. Dr. Harold McA. Robinson, secre tary of the division of Christian education in the home, church and community, says that only one child in four now receives any or ganized Christian instruction. In a typical American commonwealth, while 47 and one half cents of eVery municipal dollar goes into the Sabbath-school. For the department of moral welfare, Dr. Charles Scanlon, gen eral director, stated that slowly but surely the nation was accepting prohibition as th e permanent policy of our country. He charges that appetite, anarchy and vice were at the base of opposition to prohibi tion. The Presbyterian church had been active in the prohibition move ment from its beginning.

MACON BOYS ADMIT ATLANTA ROBBERIES ATLANTA, May 27.—Alleged . confessions obtained Monday by Atlanta detectives from three Ma con youths, telling of their complic ity in several robberies here re cently, cleared up the mystery of a series of baffling crimes and caused a new crusade to be launched against idlers, loiterers and dives. Admitting, it is said, that he and his two comrades, Roy P. Webb, 20, and C. M. Willis, 21 engaged' in six daring robberies here, Leland Har vey, 18, also of Macon, attributed |their acts to the lure of the dance floor, which necessitated funds. They told how they came to Atlan ta to dance because there were no danceg in their home town. They expected to find work here, they told detectives. But when their ef forts t 0 obtain employment met with failure, they declared that they were forced to become bandits to live. Among the things usually forgot ten at apicnic is to burn the rub bish and put out the fire before leaving.
