UP REVENUE
OFFICIAL IS MAN OVER WHOM
THREE AGENTS LOST THEIR
JOBS.
With a pointed denouncement ox
overzealous prohibition agents, Gen.
L. C. Andrews, assistant secretary of
the treasury, Saturday night assured
20,000,000 automobile owners that
they will have adequate protection
from undue interference by dry offi
errs.
Following the dismissal of four
Washington agents, who after firing
pisto 1 shots searched a machine driven
iy C. R. Nash, assistant internal rev
IUC comm S J ner, Andrew took im
medial steps petition
of incidents of this character in other
sections, Attention;was called to or
ders sent by Andrews that the
use of firearms must be avoided ex
cept for unquestionable reasons, in
agents, and that all members of the
the courtesy and dignity becoming to
prohibition machine must exercise
federal, officers in the enforcement of
thi slaw,
“It is definitely directed that our
agents must not stop,automobiles ex
cept for unquestionable reasons, in
dicating the car is engaged in illicit
practice,” General Andrews declared
in a letter to the dry machine.
Under previous instructions this
was interpreted to mean that a joy
rider’s car carrying a pint or two of
hootch is not sufficient reason for its
search by federal officers; such of
fenses must be prosecuted by local of
ficials since Andrews holds that hip
pocket toters, home brewers and petty
offenders are outside of the scope of
federal enforcement.
It was understood Andrews would
take prompt action against all agents
who violate the new orders. He is
pledged to common sense enforcement;
of the the law and will brook r.o
snooping for minor offenses, officials
declared.
Prohibition agents who stop auto
mobiles without exhibiting their ere
dentials are likely to precipitate
“shooting scrapes,” Andrews sail
“Agents who stopped the officials car
near Washington might easily have
been mistaken for bandits and had the
occupants of the car been armed then
ridiculous conduct might have result
ed in shooting,” the dry chief added.
In connection with the instructions,
it was disclosed that the dry machine
is preparing for a hard winter cam
paign against the rum trust.
A fleet of 11 airplanes have been
provided, scattered along the east
coast. Reinforcements will he sppt to
the Florida sector where, under direc
Lon of M. 0. Dunning, collector of
customs in Savannah, a drive against
West Indian rum wiii be declared
from the land, sea and air.
Andrews this week will confer witli
Senator Smoot, Republican chairman
of the Senate finance committee, rel
ative to prohibition legislation. The
treasury is particularly anxious for
passage of the reorganization bill pro
viding bureaus of prohibition and
customs.
All Eastern administrators have
been summoned to Washington for a
conference to outline plans for the
campaign. Several important changes
are likely in personnel and district
lines. New Jersey will be made a sep
arate district.
Big animals are increasing in the
National Parks. Elk have multiplied
to such an extent as to make neces
sary a special open season in some of
the parks, during which a limited
number may be killed.

VETERANS STILL
NED RED CROSS
Aid to Disabled Men Increases
as Problems and Legislation
Bring Complications.
20.000 MEN DIE EACH YEAR
Many Entitloa' to Benefits Still
Uninformed of Just Claims
to Compensation.
Eight years after the World War
finds service to disabled veterans still
a major responsibility of the Ameri
•an Red Cross.
This situation is due to the increas
ing problems involved and the com
pi ex' character of veteran legislation.
There is also an increase in numbers
of “death eases” handled, as com
pared with claims for living veterans,
w h the work for the latter re
ins heavy. About 20,000 ex-service
men are dying each year, a consider
ai le percentage of these having serv
ice-connected disabilities.
In a majority of cases, Red Cross
Chapter find their assistance is need
ed in helping dependents present
their claims for death compensation,
insurance payments, bonus, burial al
, and other government ben
efits due them. Xn episode of the
past year illustrates the difficulties
frequently encountered by the Red
Cross experts in rendering such as
sistance. A vetgran dying from serv
ice-connected disease, was trying from
his bedside to establish at that late
time his claim fo| Government aid to
his family, and the necessary proofs
were in a physician's records across
the continent from him. To obtain
the needed affidavits before it was too
late, a cross-continent airplane flight
" as lle cessary, then a Red Cross
Chapter in Pennsylvania hurried the
investigation, sending the paperfl
back to the veteran and his Red
Cross helpers in Oregon, by air mail.
It reached there in time.
Another discovery in Red Cross as
sistance to veterans and their fami
lies is that many dependents of these
men unquestionably entitled to Gov
ernment aid, have struggled along,
ignorant of their rights.
Aproximately 2,686 Red Cross Chap
ters carry on Home Service work, in
assistance to veterans and their dam
ilies. The Chapetrs also conduct
campaign among veterans for rein
statement and conversion of their
term insurance. Among its other du
ties, the Red Cross assumed at the
request of the Canadian Government
the administration of a fund allotted
to the care of Canadian disabled vet
erans living in the United States.
In the United States the Red Cross
assisted an average of about 80,000
disabled veterans and their families
every month in the past fiscal year.
Indicating the rize of this nndert?k
ing. National Headquarters of tho
Red Cross expended $1,641,178.IS oa.
disabled veterans alone, and $509,-
451.72 on assistance io men on active
duty with the Army, Navy and Marine
Corps, while Red Cross local Chap
tors expended a total of $1,987,000.
Red Cross assistance to service men
overshadowed every other phase of
its program, even its disaster relief,
until the Florida hurricane.
Help for veterans covers many de
mands, from temporary aid until Gov
ernment claims are adjusted or until
the ex-soldier is properly hospitalized,
to extending capital loans to rehabili
tated veterans endeavoring to become
self-supporting in business, Several
such capital loans were to blind vet
erans.
Contact with veterans in hospitals
is maintained by Red Cross personnel
which doctors agree influences the
veteran’s welfare and improvement.
The Veterans’ Bureau was planned
to carry on social work in its hospi
tals for mental cases, and in many
•ases the Government and the Red
Cross are co-operating for tlie welfare
of the men suffering war disabilities.
The public is invited to assist this
work by joining the Red Cross during
the Annual Roll Coll, November 11
to 25.
ALWAYS AT WORK TO RELIEVE
DISTRESS
Since 1905 the American Red Cross
lias given relief to 854 disasters in
the United States alone, a year sel
dom passes without a major calamity
due to tornado, earthquake, fire or
flood. The Red Cross in each case hae
remained on the job until relief was
completed.
Last year the Midwest tornado
which struck five states was the out
standing relief operation by the Red
Cross. The Florida hurricane in Sep
tember created a problem which ex
ceeded in proportions any disaster
since the San Francisco fire.
By joining the American Red Cross
every American can do his part to
make its services continuously effec
tive. The Annual Roll Call from No
vember 11 to 25, this year, is your op
portunity.
More than 43,000 nurses are en
rolled in the American Red Cross.
They are ever ready for emergency
duty. Every American can do his
share for humanity by joining the
American Red Cross during the Tenth
Annual Roll Call, November 11 to 25.

ATLANTA GIRL HEAD
OF FOUNDERS’
-
DAUGHTER OF PROMINENT
FEDERATE VETERAN TO
LEAD DRIVE.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 11—-Miss Jennv
Robinson, beautiful and popular A -
Junta society girl, who enjoys the d 1 ; -
tinction of being the youngest men;
ber of the Board of Directors of the
Stone IVlountain Memorial Associu •
tion. has accepter d the
fer Georgia on me enrollment of th
children in the Children's Found s
Roll of the Memorial.
Although Miss Robinson is vt
prominent in society, being a lea
in the Atlanta Junior League ;
other exclusive organizations, she
votes a ood part of her time to pat
riotic work. She is a grand-daugh
of the late Captain James W. Englit:
a gallant Confederate soldier and
reer citizen of Atlanta, who for
years was a dominant figure in the
financial and civic affairs of the city.
Captain English was one of the first
to support the Stone Mountain
morial, making a “Founders Roll”
contribution of $2,500 in memory
his Confederate Company, the Spald
ing Grays.
The Children’s Founders .Roll is th I
juvenile department of the Memorial, j
composed of boys and girls who con-!
tribute one dollar to the cost of the !
work. Each child receives a littlej
bronze medal designed by Augustus j
Lukeman, the sculptor of the Memor
ial, and the name of each is enrolled j
in the “Book of Memory” to be for
ever preserved in the Stone Mountain j
Memorial Hall. In order that the'
children of the South may have an j
important part among the builders of j
the world’s greatest monument, the
Stone Mountain Memorial Association
p as undertaken to enroll one million
boys and girls by the close of the
school term in 1927.
To help the Association accomplish
that purpose, a group of patriotic]
newspapers in the summer of 1927
will take a party of Southern girls on
a free trip with all expenses paid on
a magnificent special train touring the !
principle cities and historic shrines of
the South, as a prize for enrolling the
children in the Children’s Founders
Roll.
One free trip will be offered by a
newspaper or group of newspapers in
each South. Congressional There in District this territory; of the j
are
about 150 Congressional Districts, so
that if every district organizes a cor
test and produces the minimum en
rollment required to secure the prize, j
there will be 150 girls in the party, j
They will be chaperoned by officials Asso-1 of |
the Stone Mountain Memorial
eiation and their wives and by a prom-;
jnent woman ffom each of the South
era States,
“Organization , of the contest in i
Georgia has made fine progress,” Miss
Robinson announced here today. “In
the Second and Eleventh Districts
C0U nties are organized and the con
test is under way. Mrs. Gordon Chas
on, of Bainbridge, is chairman of the
Second District and Mrs. J. Ludlam,
of Waycross, is chairman of the
Eleventh District. The newspapers
co-operating to give the free trips in
those districts are the Albany Herald,
Moultrie Observer, Thomsaville Time
Enterprise, Tifton Gazette, Brunswick
News, Waycross Journal-Herald, Val
dosta Times, Bainbridge Post-Search
light, Arlington Courier, Blakely
News. Cairo Messenger, Newton News

Progress, Folkston Herald, Homer
ville News, Hoboken News, Hazle
'lurst. Netws, Nashville Herald, Pear
son Tribune, St. Mary's Georgian,
Oc-illa Star, Jesup Sentinel, Lakeland
News and Quitman Free Press.
“We confidently expect every dis
trict in Georgia, the home State of
the Memorial, to produce an enroll
ment of children sufficient to win a
place on the special train for its
mg contestant. Io other words, we
have in Georgia twelve Congressional
Districts, and we are determined t >
have on this special train a dozer,
girls. This is probably the most at
tractive prize ever offered to South
ern girls as a reward for service in a
patriotic enterprise. The
Founders Roll is a most appealing
plan to give the boys and girls a con
spicuous part in financing the greater-:
monument of all times. Enrolling the
children is easy and delightful
A few hours of spare time devoted to
it every day during the brief
of the contest will win this
trip.”

| WHEN TWO AND TWO MAY
MAKE MORE THAN FOUR
It is frequently pointed out by th.
Bureau of Soils of the United States
Department of Agriculture that the
nation will have to depend upon the
cultivation of the soil for about one
third of its combined wheat, corn and
'cats produced; upon crop rotation for
another third; and upon the use m
manures and commercial fertilizer
^he °^ or third. It is logical that
cultivation aids both rotation and lei
' tilization, that rotation aids in ren
Bering fertilizers more effective and
■
that fertilizers increase the value of
Rece e periments in f n:
nois, however, bring out the.iac
rotation and the use or
when practiced together, may int ~l—
act to the extent that their conjoint
effects, as measured in terms of crop
increases, may be not only eequal
but greater than the sum of their
separate effects.
The average yield of corn obtained
| j without fertilizers and rotation in this
particular experiment was 2.3.4 hush
c j s per acre. The gain due to using
fertilizers and lime was 9.2 bushels
per acrG) a nd the gain due to rotation
i clone was 27.8 bushels, or practically
three times that obtained from the
commercial fertilizer and lime. The
total increase effected by conjoining
rotation and the use of fertilizers was
14.2 bushels per acre, or 7.2 bushels
greater 1 the sum of their separ
