*]ri COTTON NEW YORK. Nov. 29.—Notwithstanding the 'Liverpool dock fires, which were said to involve considerable cotton, tire Eng Jish market made a very weak showing today und there was continued selling by bouses with British trade connections. The opening was steady at an advance of 2 points on October, but generally 7 to 27 points net lower, with January selling off to 14.53 or 32 points below Saturday’s closing and into now low ground for the reason. There was also southern selling, but trade buying to fix prices on call cotton, as well as a good deal of covering ab sorbed the eaerly offerings and caused rallies of several points before the end of the first hour. Liverpool trade advices estimated nt be tween IS.OOO and 20.000 bales of evtton had been destroyed in the fire of Saturday, but the English market showed continued weak ness and there were reports tb.it spots were being offered on a lower basis in the southwest without finding buyers. Offer ings were vjry well taken during the early trading, however, and there were mid-morn ing rallies which carried January to 15.25 *nd March to 15.22, or 27 to 40 points net higher. This improvement was not fully maintained, later fluctuations being irreg ular with the market quiet but fairly Iteady around midday. Trading was quiet but the market showed rather a steadier tone during the middle of the afternoon, particularly in the ease of December, which sold up to 15.38, or 38 points net higher, on reports of better ex port demand in Texas and covering.

Th meet the luctnations in this market at the week-end jverpool should have been 49 to 54 Eng lish points down, but its declines were as wide as 72 to 81 points at one time. This caused a lower opening here and the ef fect of the fire was further minimized >y private cablegrams stating that only 20.000 bales had been destroyed out of a lock of 574.000 bales, of which 507.000 >ales were American, according to the count It the end of Inst week. Prices here fell off Id to 22 pointe around the opening .except that July at its lowest was still 2 points over the close of Satur day. After the first selling flurry there was a reaction to net advances of 14 t 024 points. January traded down to 13.82 and Hi to 14.18. Liverpool's only explanation for its course was that sentiment was bearish. The market became firm and fairly active •nd in the trading up to 11 o’clock went 5 to 35 points over the close of Saturday, January advancing to 14.38. The report that two large Carolina mills Were resuming full time, and telegrams from Houston noting a better spot demand gave he mirket marked firmness for a while dur ng the second half of the session, and in th? trading up to 1:30 o'clock the net advance Was widened to 35 to 55 points, January eiitnhing to 14.47 c.

SHEPARD * GLUCK’S COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 29.—While the Liverpool fire was slow in having its effect on the price of cotton today, there were fairly strong advances after the selling flurry of around the opening was over, this selling being merely the reflection of the bearish sentiment on tap iu the Eng lish market, where prices broke instead of bulging: the hitter being the natural "thing to expect following incendiarism which wiped out from 20.000 to 30.000 bales of eotton. to say nothing of the eotton dam aged by water. This initial decline amount ed to 16 to 22 points, except on July, which at its lowest was still 2 points over the close of Saturday. These losses were re covered and replaced by net advances which finally, late in the session, amounted to 85 to" 55 points. January traded down to 13.82 and reacted to 14.47. Reports that two large mills iu the Carolinas had resumed full time after Slaving run half time for several weeks, the 'claim by Waco. Texas, that some invest ment buying was appearing in spots and the Houston messages claiming n •'e- mand for all grade sat n slightly higher basis, all heelped the market at the ad vance Liveerpool says that hedges against the cotton lost in the fire have yet to be covered The market unquestionably is short and while bearish feeling is strong technical conditions may dominate at any time. COTTON MARKET OPINIONS J. W Juv & Co.: Prices have reached a point where' many conservative interests are inclined to look for buying periods ami the market shows that there is more disixisition to moderately accumulate contracts than for some time past. Movse * Holmes: We look for lower prices In the near future and would sell on bulges. S. M. Weld & Co.: Although we see noth ing in sight to cause a sustained rally, and while u further decline seems more than probable, nevertheless we believe that Hie short sid is dnngerotis and prefer buying mod erately on a scale down with the idea of .bceepting moderate profits at least for the ■time being. Gwathmey & Co.: We arc inclined to ad vise conservative purchases on weak markets, but this policy may result in temporary losses, ns the market is still suffering from the effect of an unprecedented collapse In values. Sooner or later, however, we look lor a substantial recovery in prices. THE ATLANTA TBUVKEKLY JOURNAL. Commodity Prices Continue to Drop The downward trend of commodity prices was again pronounced this week. Dun's list of wholesale quotations, for the twenty ninth consecutive week, disclosing more re cessions than advances, the former number ing 103 and the latter only 10. Conspicuous weakness prevailed in nil grains, reflecting a disappointing demand from abroad, large crops and more liberal marketing by farmers. | Wheat, corn, oats, rye and barley sold down to new low levels, while flour touched the lowest point in several years. In live meats, there was not much* change in beef, but hogs were influenced by the fall in corn prices, and Sheep were easier under pressure of ratlir heavy receipts. Fresh butter de clined about a cent, but dairy products, as n whole, were extremely firm and the best quality eggs brought the highest prices ever recorded. The holding off policy of buyers continues to have n more or less de pressing effect on iron nnd steel prices, fur ther concessions being reported, and trad ing in the miscellaneous metals remains slow, with the undertone of all products easy. Ef forts to stimulate demand for cotton goods are not meeting with succes in every in stance. nnd the unsettlemcnt in the raw ma terial market has an adverse bearing upon conditions in merchandising channels. There has been so essential improvement in the footwear situation, and the demand for leather is still restricted, with quotations largely unestablished. A recent large clear ance movement in sides, however. lias en couragd a better feeling in that quarter. Atlanta Live Stock (Corrected by W. 11. White, Jr., President of White Provision Co.)

Biggest Mail Robbery Staged by Youths In Just Four Minutes OMAHA.—A tabloid chronological history of the big events in the Coun cil Bluffs man robery, the biggest ever perpetrated in the United States, iias been given by Chief In spector Noah, who has charge of the investigation. Here it is: Robbery of mail car planned Oc tober 26 by two Phillips boys and Fred Poffcnbarger. They and others met at home of T. A. Daly frequent ly and rehearsed every detail. Also rehearsed confessions to be made if arrested. Planned to throw blame on "mysterfous Oinahans.” A week ago the chauffeur of a “bandit car,” believed to be Keith Collins, former captain in the air service, took Phillips boys and Pof fenbarger to Union Pacific transfer in Council Bluffs. Merle Phillips got in the engine, telling the engineer he wanted to ride to the station. Orville Phillips and Poffenbarger got on the step of the mail car. The automobile followed the slowly-mov ing train along the road. Poffenbarger smashed the window of the mail car door with a gun, un fastened the door and he and Orville got in. As rhe train slowed down by the Rock Island crossing, they threw out the first ten sacks they could get. The chauffeur of the automobile picked up the sacks. The boys jumped out of the car and were joined by Merle Phillips. The chauf feur placed five of the sacks in the automobile and drove away, leaving the boys with the other five. The Phillips boys hurried away with three sacks. Poffenbarger grabbed one sack, leaving the fifth. The robbery was pulled in only four minutes’ time. Merle Phillips, arrested Monday, confessed after twelve hours of grilling. Others then arrested, in cluding H. A. Reed, roomer at home of Daly, who helped to hide the money. Hila Petersop gave the police in formation involving Collins, her f i a n c e. Big Increases Shown By Fish and Game In Alabama Counties MONTGOMERY.

Takes Rabbit Bone For Her Souvenir PARIS. —Sadi Lecointe, winner of the Gordon Bennett cup race for avi ators, was just ready to go up from the Buc aviation field the other day when an American woman stepped up and asked: “Won't you take me up?” “Surely,” replied Sadi. “Where do you want to go?’’ “To Gambais.

When she departed she car ried away a souvenir in the shape of a piece of rabbit bone found in the yard. “Nothing is sacred for these Amer icans.” Dandru said when he heard of the occurrence. Today’s High Skirts To Come Down Soon ATLANTIC CITY. —The knee length skirt for women is only a fad and will not come into popular usage, according to the manufacturers at tending the second annual conven tion of the Associated Dress Indus tries of America at the Hotel Break ers. These manufacturers and design ers predicted that skirts for the ex clusive trade would be lengthened for next spring and summer styles. They also said silk would be used more extensively because of the fall ing off in the demand for men’s silk shirts and the break in the silk mar ket. SALVAGE DIVISION GREAT SAVING TO U. S. IS CLAIM ■WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.—Saving for the government of more than $33,400,060 through operations of the salvage division of the quartermaster general’s department is claimed in the annual report of Major General Harry L. Roge*- the quartermaster general, made public tonight. This sum, General Rogers asserted, in cludes $11,600,000 realized through the sale of material classified as “waste,” “junk,” and “unserviceable,” while the remainder of the saving was accomplished by making avail able for army use large quantities of condemned supplies and equipment. Surplus army p/operty still to be disposed of at the end of the fiscal year was estimated by General Rog ers to have had a value of approxi mately $200,000,000. The quarter master general placed the percentage of recovery to the government on surplus stocks, based on original cost, at 82 per cent. Brigadier General Frank T. Hines, chief of the transportation service, in his annual report, also made pub lic tonight, declared that an elaborate study of military transportation problems now “certainly would be repaid many times in both lives and treasure” should a subsequent emer gency find the United States less fortunately situated than it was a s the outbreak of the world jvar. General Hines also recommended a closer connection between the mili tary transportation division, the ship ping board and the navy depart ment: creation of an emergency transportation service from units of the merchant marine; creation of an adequate reserve of transportation personnel; careful analysis of trans portation data gained in the war; permanent organization of a separate transporition service in the war de partment. co-ordinating all phases of the subject: immediate st£ps to formulate plans for the rapid ex pansion of the fleet of army trans ports and cargo carriers in time of war. and definition of a program to be followed hereafter in requisition ing merchant vessels for government use in time of war. Cotton Picking Ended, Farmers Holding, Says Federal Reserve Bank Cotton picking in the south is prac tically completed, with Georgia and Alabama farmers holding their pro duct for better prices and gining de layed in Florida, according to the monthly business review of the At lanta Federal Reserve bank for No vember. The review states that the total yield of apples in Georgia is about >BB,OOO barrels, or 72 per cent of a full crop. Crops of corn, sweet po tatoes, Irish potatoes, peanuts, to bacco, rice and sugar were somewhat above the same month last year, says the review. The review notes a decrease in wholesale business, attributed to a reluctance of retailers to increase their stocks until the public shows a better disposition to buy. Depart ment stores in many parts of the Sixth district showed an increase in business for the month of October, 1920, over October. 1919,, and a cor responding increase of stocks. At lanta is an exception. The lumber market is expected to remain quiet until buyers begin to place orders for 1921 requirements, says the review. Wage reductions ot as much as 25 per cent have been made by some mills and prices are reported to have reached the cost or production, resulting in a lengthen ing list of mills closed, although pro duction is still in excess of the de mand. Labor supply in all states of the. district, except Louisiana., seems to be adequate, says the review. Strikes for higher wages in New Orleans have resulted in a tie-up of con struction operations. BRIBERY CHARGED IN GAMBLING PROBE; POWERS’ WIFE HELD (Continued from Page 1) story at the police station, Solicitor Boykin was springing his charges of bribery at the courthouse. Powers’ attorneys, Sam D. Hew lett and John S. McClelland, of the firm of Key, McClelland & McClel land, moved for a continuance of his trial on the ground that they hadn’t had time to prepare their case. The hearing was held in Judge Humphries’ chambers. Solicitor Boykin, opposing the mo tion, declared that H. C. Holley and Wade Lamar, his two principal wit nesses against Powers, had been ap proached with offers of “hush money.” He said that this had happened in Augusta, Macon and Columbus, where Holley and Lamar have been pending Powers’ trial. At Columbus, declared the solic itor, Holley was approached by a man who said he was a lawyer of Macon. The solicitor said the man offered to take SII,OOO to Holley’s cousin, Roy Holley, in Augusta, if Holley himself would refuse to tes tify against Powers. The man told Holley, said the solicitor, that the money would be put up by men in Atlanta. This is the sum Holley claims Powers and his friends swin dled him out of at the fake “rac ing-horse” rooms at 25 West Peach tree street. Approached in Atlanta Solicitor Boykin said Holley re fused this offer and came on to At lanta to attend the meeting of the grand jury that idicted Powers. At the Terminal station, declared the so licitor. Holley and Lamar both were approached by a man who introduced himself bby a name well known in Atlanta. No mention was made of money at the Terminal, said the solicitor, but Holley’s suspicions were aroused be cause the man asked him if he knew “Texas.” "No.” Holley replied, according to the solicitor, “but I know ‘Kansas'.” “Kansas,” said the solicitor, is a nickname of Abe Powers. The man’s actions were so peculiar, said the solicitor, that after a short conversation Holley left, but first de tailed his brother, who was with him, to follow the stranger. The solicitor said that Holley’s brother ond a companion trailed the man, who was also accompanied by a companion, to a Peachtree street restaurant. There, said the solicitor, Holley’s brother stationed himself at the door and sent his companion for a policemon; but when the police man ariivea. the two suspects had escaped by a rear door. Other names were mentioned by the solicitor as men who, he declar ed, had approached Holley with of fers of money for his silence. For this reason, argued the solicitor, it was highly important that the case against Powers be pressed and no delays permitted that would give Powers’ friends the chance to crush the investigation. Trial Fixed for Tuesday Judge Humphries asked the solic itor if he could bring proofs that bribes had been offered Holley or Lamar in Fulotn county, in which case indictments against the bribers should be sought from the grand jury. The solicitor replied that, while bribes had been offered out right in Columbus and Macon, the conversations never reached the point of money in Atlanta. At this stage of the arguments, it was so late in the morning that Judge Humphries said it would be impossible to begin the trial that day. Accordingly, he fixed the case for the first thing Tuesday morning and refused the request of Powers’ attorneys for further postponement. WIDOW, STEPSON AND SISTER-IN-LAW HELD ON WARRANTS (Continued from Page 1) caused by some strong corrosive, probably bichloride of mercury. Dr. Everhardt on Stand Asked how long it would take bi chloride to produce death. Dr. Funke replied that a person might live a week after swallowing this deadly corrosive poison. Mr. Shepard was taken sick on May 27 and died on June 1. Di. Everhardt. the second witness, declared that he had made two sep arate and distinct chemical analyses of the viscera, the first about two weeks ago. when the body was ex humed for the first time at the in stance of Solicitor General Garrett. The first analysis, said Dr. Ever hardt. showed the presence of mer cury in the vital organs, but as a person taking calomel in treatment would have a certain amount of mer cury in his system, this first ex amination did not furnish absolute proof of the presence of a corrosive poison. The second chemical examination, made after the second exhumation of the body on November 17, showed positive e idence that bichloride of mercury was present In the viscera, declared Dr. Everhardt. Further more, he said, it was evident that the poison had been administered through the mouth, since white spots, caused by the action of the strong corrosive, were found along the inner lining of the esophagus, stomach and. in fact, the entire course of the alimentary canal. The fact that Mr. Shepard had been giv en considerable quantities of calomel made it necessary to take more time in the chemical analysis than would otherwise have been necessary, said Dr. Everhardt. Dr. Brown Testifies The third witness was Dr. Brown, the physician who attended Mr. Shepard during his fatal illness. He testified that when he was first called, the patient showed some symptoms of dysentery, and the ini tial treatment was the administra tion of calomel in an effort to purge his system. This treatment failed to produce results, said Dr. Brown, and he decided that Mr. Shepard was suffering from intestinal obstruc tion. An operation performed June 1 showed that this condition did not exist, the physician declared, al though it was found that the pa tient’s intestines were terribly in flamed. There was no evidence of disease, he said, but, on the con trary, there were symptoms to indi cate that Mr. Shepard was suffering from poisoning. It was after Dr. Brown had re ported the case to Solicitor General Garrett that the investigation was begun and the first chemical exami nation of the viscera made by Dr. Everhardt. The hearing before the coroner’s jury was conducted by Solicitor Gen eral Garrett, while Harris Neal, may or of Fort Valley, was foreman of the jury. After-deliberating briefly upon the evidence submitted, trie jury returned a verdict declaring that Mr. Shepard came to his death by poisoning caused by bichloride of mercury administered by unknown persons. Hearing Held in Movie Theater The hearing was held in a motion picture theater to accommodate the curious and interested throng that flocked into Fort Valley to witness what they expected to be one of the most sensational developments of a sensational case. The jury had seats on the cramped little stage, close to the witness chair and that of the so licitor general. Mrs. Elmer, with her attorney, Charles Durrance, also of Jackson ville, Fla., had arrived here at noon and had taken rooms at a hotel near the theater. Bringing a stenographer with them, Mrs. Elmer and Attorney Durrance left the hotel unobserved, eluded several photographers, and, gaining admission to the theater by a rear entrance, located themselves in the wings on the stage, where they remained throughout tfce hearing. The stenographer took down ev ery scrap of evidence in shorthand, and when the jury had rendered jts verdict, Mrs. Elmer, her attorney and the stenographer made their appear ance from behind the curtain, creat ing a mild sensation among the spec tators. As Mrs. Elmer left the theater she was placed under arrest by Sheriff Robinson on a bail trover warrant sworn out by Frederick Crandall, nephew of Mr. Shepard. She was taken at once to the office of Attor ney Louis L. Brown, now executor of the Shepard estate, where she made bond in the sum of $120,000 and signed an agreement instructing her attorney, Eldridge Cutts, to turn over to the executor everything she pos sessed that .was a part of the Shep ard estate. This property, it is un derstood, included $52,000 worth of stock in the Nicholls-Shepard com pany, of Battle Creek, Mich.; a $3,- 000 mortgage on property in Georgia; one Peerless automobile; five notes of SSOO each of the Nicholls-Shepard company; one municipal bond of the city of Hogansville, Ga„ value, SSOO, and deeds to SIO,OOO worth of prop erty in Portland, Ore. Shows Effect of Strain While in the office of Attorney Brown, she was aken into custody on a warrant charging murder sworn out by Solicitor General Garrett. Mrs. Elmer had maintained her composure throughout the afternoon and han manifested no emotion during the hearing before the coroner’s jury, but when arrested on the murder war rant, she became very much excited and was removed to the Winona hotel, where she developed hysteria and showed the effects of the ner vous strain under which she had been laboring. She refused to make any statement whatever, saying that her attorney. Mr. Durrance, would nvi.ke whatever statements were necessary. He de clined to say anything regarding the case. Mrs. Elmer remained at the hotel in the custody of Sheriff Rob inson until the arrival of the Ma con train at midnight. The arrest of Mrs. Henry anci Ernest Hopson at Perry occurred within an hour after Mrs. Elmer's arrest in this city. At first it was planned to remove Mrs. Henry to the Bibb county jail at Macon, but her husband came to Fort Valley, made a plea to Judge H. A. Matthews and secured permission for Mrs Henry to remain at her home ii. Perry under guard to be furnished b the sheriff. This order will remain in effect until the preliminary hear ing. the date of which has not been fixed. Upon the death of Mr. Shepard, his wife took charge of the estate as administratrix, no will having been found. She gave bond as re quired by law. with Frederick Cran dall. nephew of the deceased, as se curity. . - Mr. Crandall this afternoon took out a bail trover warrant to secure release from his liability on the bond and on this warrant Mrs. Elmer was arrested, obtaining hei release by turning over the propertj of Mr. Shepard, only to be re-arrest ed on the murder charge, Fate of Passengers Is Still Undetermined PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 27.—Fate of eighteen persons aboard the steel barge W. J. Pirrie, reported driven ashore on James Island, off Quil layute, Wash., last night, was still undetermined tonight. Communication between James Island and the coast was severed b. the storm. The eighteen include.! the wife and baby of Captain A. B. Jensen and the crew of sixteen. Cured His RUPTURE I was badly ruptured while lifting a trunk several years ago. Doctors said my only hope of cure was an operation. Trusses did me no good. Finally 1 got hold of something that quickly and completely cured me. Years have passed and the rupture has never re turned. although I am doing hard work as a carpenter. There wits no operation, no lost time, no trouble. I have nothing to sell, but will give full information about how you may find a complete cure without oper ation, if you write to me. Eugene M. Pullen.

Eastern People Reminded Them of on Recent Visit BY JOHN PASCHALL Get ready for the next big indus trial tour. Plans are already being made by officials of the Greater Georgia Tech campaign, who so suc cessfully piloted 127 leading busi ness men, bankers, manufacturers and educators through the industrial centers of the middle west and the east, to conduct another tour, but this time it will be through the state of. Georgia. Having shown leading Georgians what the middle west and the east have accomplished in the way of technical education and manufac turing, it is proposed early nert year to conduct these same Georgians and as many others as have caught the vision of Georgia’s industrial op portunity, on a journey through their own state that they may lea-rn of the wonderful natural resources which development. That practically every man who was a member of the Greater Georgia Tech Industrial special will make an ef fort to participate in this tour ot their home state is a certainty and it is believed that scores of others will join them. Wickes Wambolt, financial director of the Greater Georgia Tech move ment, announced to the Georgians during their meeting at. the Massa chusetts Institute of Technology, that a tour of Georgia was planned and the proposal was received with en thusiasm. That Mr. Wambolt had sensed the true feeling of the Geor gians became more and more evi dent as the Tech special moved back toward Atlanta, for in spite of all the wonders they had seen and the stupid blindness to the industrial possibilities of Georgia of which the trip had convinced and convicted them, there was not. a man aboard who was not mighty glad to be back on Georgia soil. While our ambition to see a greater Tech and a greater industrial Georgia was stirred, no Georgian returned home less proud of the Empire State than when he left. And well might we feel a pride, for did we not hear from the lips of the greatest manufacturers and the leading scientists and techinal men of the nation that Georgia is a state blessed of God in a plenitude of natural resources? We heard it in Cincinnati, where Georgia oil is man ufactured into Crisco and other culi nary necessities and where Georgia clay is turned into miracles of pot tery. We heard it in Pittsburg from the distinguished head of Mellon in stitute, Dr. Raymond F. Bacon, and from the great business genius. E. M. Herr, president of the Westing house Electric company. We heard it in Buffalo from the engineers of the Pierce-Arrow Automobile com pany, the Dunlop Rubber company and the Lackawanna Steel, company. We heard it again at Niagara Falls from John L. Harper, who conceived, planned and built the world’s great est hydro-electric plant. Coolidge Stressed It If there.were any in the Georgia delegation, unconvinced of the state’s resources, tirey must have lost their doubt at Cambridge, Mass., the seat of classical and technical education in this country, if not in the world. In that famed city of erudition, no less a personage than the vice president-elect of the United States, Governor Calvin Cool idge, once more reminded the Geor gians of their resources and sug gested that it would be well for New England to send her business men to Georgia to learn more about them. Finally in the great metropolis of the world. New Y’ork City, the Geor gians had living demonstrations of Georgia’s finest products in the presence of her sucessful native sons who had come to New York and matched their brains, their en ergy and their skill aginst the best that could be found in that mael strom of human endeavor, and prov ed that a Georgia man is the equal of any two-footed animal that trods the earth. inttaWw No money now—just the coupon and we send this smartly tailored skirt on approval—just to show frou what Leonard-Morton values really are.

BRITISH FIRE LOSS OF SATURDAY NIGHT RUNS INTO MILLIONS (Continued from Page 1> a congested factory district and a fire once started would have created a sufficient diversion to permit out breaks in other parts of the city. Half a dozen men who were pre paring to set fire to a large lumber yard in the district of Finsbury, an important section of the city of Lon don less than a mile north of Lon don bridge, were surprised by a po liceman Saturday night. This at tempt was almost coincident with the breaking out of incendiary fires in Liverpool. The policeman challenged a loiter er, who immediately attacked the offi cer and shouted for help. Five men, with revolvers, answered his call, emerging from behind some empty wagons and rushing the policeman, who was compelled to liberate the man he had seen. All the men es caped. Searching behind the wagons the policeman found cotton waste soaked with gazoline, which had been pushed through a gateway of a lum ber yard, and he also discovered two revolvers and 100 cartridges. One of the supposed incendiaries was later arrested. Plans for the defense of England against sinn fein attacks were for mulated today at a meeting of the British cabinet. Full reports of the dock fires in Liverpool Saturday night and the alleged incendiary effort here were laid before the ministers. Indications that the officials are concerned over the possibility of further efforts in London was given in the attendance of General Hor wood, commissioner of police and Sir Basil Thompson, of Scotland Yard. It was presumed the matter of extra patrols was discussed togeth er with the need of greater protec tion for some of the government buildings and public officials. The Irish office made no official statement, but the attitude of nigh authorities was that the sinn fein movement was dissipating itself in a final effort. . The Liverpool docks were visited by thousands of curious persons to day despite the stringent rules of the sentries. The visitors pressed as closely as possible to the smoul dering ruins along the docks, all that was left of millions of dol lars worth of buildings and goods. Man Makes Valuable Find Among Savages Natives of the Cook Islands in the Pacific Ocean are reported by a trav eler returning from a voyage there to be taking a vegetable oil for rheu matism which is said to accomplish amazing results. He says he saw badly crippled natives completely cured by swallowing a little of this oil twice a day. Hundreds of letters from rheumatic sufferers have been answered and oil sent them free after he returned to America. Mr. P. E. Wilkes, now at the Georgian Terrace Hotel in Atlanta, Ga„ can supply those interested with further infor mation and a sample of the oil free. (Advt.) Classified Advertisements WANTED KELP—MAto.
