MISSING MEN CUN
ENTER THE ARMY
DOOR TO HONORABLE SERVICE
IN NATIONAL ARMY STILL
REMAINS OPEN
PENALTY FORTHE DESERTERS
Leniency For Those Voluntarily Re
porting, But Prosecution For
Willful Deserters
Atlanta—
The door to honorable service in the
national army yet remains open for
those who have been drawn and called
for service and have so far failed to
report, if they will report themselves
at once to the nearest military post.
The first deserter case tried several
days ago determined approximately
what the penalty will be for those
who willfully refuse to report them
selves for service and are captured. A
great many men, however, have failed
to report through ignorance and on
them the government will not be hard,
provided they obey the law and offer
themselves.
The military officials have been no
tified to look carefully into each case
in order to determine whether or not
the absence of the selectmen from his
proper camp was due to willful disre
gard of his liability for service or
through ignorance or other cause over
which he had no control.
In a statement Hooper Alexander,
United States district attorney for the
northern district of Georgia, made it
plain tha,t the cases of deserters un
der the select service law would be
dealt with by the military authorities.
State Redistricted and Agents Moved
At the last meeting of the executive
committee of the State College of Ag
riculture, the entire state was redis
tricted as to the extension work of the
college in co-operation with the fed
eral government department, and
many changes were made in the ar
rangement, no county agents or dem
onstration agents being dropped or
new ones added, however.
Agent Oliver of Americus will have
headquarters in Athens; Agent Cul
pepper of Tifton makes headquarters
in Macon.
Thirteen men from the college force
have gone to the army and the poultry
husbandry department was left with
out a man. Herbert Wood of New Jer
sey was elected to that work.
Meatless Wednesday May Come
“Beefless Tuesday,’’ which has prov
en popular over the state, will be
followed by "Meatless Wednesday,”
according to an announcement made
by William R. Seeker, chairman of the
campaign in this state to conserve the
country’s meat supply.
Virtually all hotel and restaurant
men, as well as many housewives,
have adopted the “Beefless Tuesday”
idea, and it is thought that the “Meat
less Wednesday” will meet with an
equally heaity response. Cards will be
sent out and operators of eating places
will be asked to pledge themselves to
serve no meat except poultry on
Wednesdays. •
Deserter Sentenced To Ten Years
The decision of the military court
martial of the eighty-second army di
vision at Camp Gordon in the case
of Otto K. Brennan, selectman who de
serted September 7, and was subse
quently captured, was made public,
when it was learned that the deserter
will serve ten years at hard labor in
the Atlanta federal penitentiary, as
directed by the military tribunal.
The decision in the case has been
awaited with interest, as it was known
that the tribunal was legally clothed
with power to impose a death sen
tence.

en out by Lieutenant Atkinson. Five
hundred and two have enlisted from

Million Added To War Loan
The second Liberty Loan has over
shadowed all else at Fort Oglethorpe
and the figure, $1,000,000 worth of
subscriptions, stands out as a record
any camp in the country might well
be proud 04 From the regulars, the
boys who look daily to be shipped
to "somewhere in France” to join
Pershing’s forces, the figures run to
virtually $700,000 and a fine showing
was made by the two training camps,
the reserve and the medical officers.
OPPOSE SET PRICE
FOR COTTON SEED
J. J. Brown Against Government Con
trol Os Cotton Seed
Price
Atlanta —
Taking stand squarely and emphati
cally against government regulation
or control of the price of cotton seed,
in any degree whatsoever, Commis
sioner of Agriculture J. J. Brown went
to Washington, D. C., for a confer
ence with Food Administrator Herbert
C. Hoover.
Commissioner Brown was accompa
nied by Director L. B. Jackson and
President J. H. Mills of the Georgia
Farmers’ Union; and this delegation,
along with representatives from other
cotton states, stoutly protested against
any interference whatsoever by the
government with a free and open mar
ket for this product.
“We stand unequivocally and em
phatically against government inter
ference in any shape, form or manner
with the price of cotton seed,” Com
missioner Brown says. "Cotton seed,
like other produce of the farm, should
have at all times a free and open mar
ket, subject solely to the natural law
of supply and demand.
“The market for hog lard has al
ways been the basis or determining
factor in the price of cotton seed oil.
If the status of the products of cotton
seed won’t warrant a price of S7O or
SBO a ton for cotton seed, when cotton
seed is bringing that price in the open
market, then why not put the products
of cotton seed on a parity with lard?
“When, at the beginning of the war,
the South was suffering and cotton
seed was selling at sl4 a tons, the gov
ernment didn’t turn its hand to raise
the price. Therefore, if it is worth
five times that price or more in the
open market today, there is no reason
on earth why the government should
take any step to depress it, and we
shall resist any such action to the full
extent of our ability.
"Following this conference we hope
and believe we shall be able to make
the announcement that the govern
ment will not interfere in any manner
whatsoever with the cotton seed mar
ket.”
Another object of Commissioner
Brown's visit to Washington was to
take up with the war department and
such other authorities as may be nec
essary the question of exemption from
military service of those young men
whose presence on the farms is ab
solutely essential to their operation.
