oncurrence of the State
and of many Superior
ctf Georgia, the Senate
;o measures designed to
methods of deal-
)
With the t
Prison Boar<
Court judges
has passed two m
change greatly tli
ipg with convicts.
They do not interfere with the sys
tem of working convicts on the road.
In fact, Chairman Davisson, <)f the
Prison Board, believes the changes
will increase the efficiency of >the
convicts in road building. But the
afct» change the attitude of the State
toward- the convict and give the kil
ter a chance to work out his own sal
vation.
The first measure legalizes the right
of the judgo to suspend sentence and
provides that an adult for whom sen
tence has been suspended may bc^f
freed on probation. The second meas
ure * provides nideterminate sentence.
The first act passed the Senate
p unanimously and the second by a vote
of 27 to 3. Both have been recom
mended for passage by the House
committees. So far as 1s known no
opposition has developed.
Tim bills sound complicated be
cause. of the various safeguards • and
restrictions thrown around the pro
posed changes, but their operation is
simple.
The probation bill means the trial
court has a right to suspend sentence
and yet exercise a supervision over
the sentence. For instance, when a
man is sentenced for abandonment of
family, the judge, if he deems it wise,
can .sentence the man to the chain-
gang. and then let him go free on pro
bation on condition that he goes to
work and supports his family.
By the same method a first offender
can be given a second chance, and
yet can be- kept under the restraining
eye of the court. It is an application
in a limited way of the children’s
court probation system to adults.
The indeterminate sentence bill is
equally simple. After excluding life-
termers, persons previously convicted
of felony or convicted for criminal
assault or attempted criminal assault,
it provides a sentence for an indeter
minate period instead of a fixed num
ber of years. Then the convict’s be
havior determines whether he gets
out at the end of the minimum time,
or stays in to the maximum.
J. Ham Lewis Galls
For ‘Fathers’ Day’
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—Senator
J. Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois, has
come to the conclusion that the “Old
Man” of the family has not received
proper recognition from a grateful
country. He announced to-day his
intention to introduce a bill setting
aside July 29 as “Fathers’ Day.” Al
ready there is a “Mothers’ Day” and
a “Children’s Day.”
“The Old Man,” said the Senator,
“pays all .the bills. On cold winter
mornings he gets up to light the fire.
In summer he works like, a horse in
mowing the lawn. His lot is not a
happy one. He deserves recognition.”
Aviator Quells Fire
4,000 Feet in the Air
CHICAGO, Aug. 2.—“I thought I
was a goner,” said W. C. Robinson,
an aviator, as he related bis feelings
While he was fighting a- fire that
threatened to destroy his aeroplane
4,000 feet above Chicago’s business
district.
Crowds along Michigan Boulevard
and aviators at Cicero flying field
watching through glasses thought he
was a “goner.” too. But Robinson,
alone in the flaming aeroplane, fought
the tire with a hand chemical while
he made a perfect descent and landed
just as the planes collapsed.
Shrubs and Gets Five Dol
lars for It Instead.
“No, there isn’t a thing I want
that a want ad*would bring me,” said
a* North Side woman to a Georgiap
want ad contestant as he chatted
with her on her front veranda*. "Un-
less 1 could get rid of that unsightly
big shrub in the front yard. It cuts
off my view and I’d like to pay a man
to take it it up and haul it away.”
“I believe you. can do better than
that,” said the contestant, who knew
something of plants. “Lefc me sell it
for you.”
And next afternoon there came a
couple just completing a new home
who wanted to adorn their lawn, and
they gladly paid $3 fpr the shrub
and bore the expense of moving it.
And that’s what a want ad will do.
The contestants now at work are
running across a world of human iiir
terest stories. They find many strange
“wants” and many queer situations.
But they are roundin£ up the ads.
Contestants who are not informing
their friends about the race are over
looking their best opportunity. They
should tell every acquaintance, for
everybody is using want ads and ev
ery ad might mean a hundred or two
votes for a friend just as well as not.
The Want Ad Man will show con
testants how to secure the friends’
aid if you’ll ask him.
And if you haven’t entered the con
test now is the time. You still have
an excellent chance to get a start.
DRAINED RAPIDLY
Lands Formerly Valueless Now
Worth Large / Sum, Says W. E.
Hall, Atlanta Geologist.
Vital interest throughout the United
States is being taken in the drainage
of the Florida Everglades. Warrep
E. Hall, district engineer of the Geo
logical Survey stationed in . Atlanta,
whose territory embraces the south
eastern portion of the United States,
made a two weeks' survey of the
heart of the great swamps in company
with M. O. Leighton, E. T, Perkins
and Is ham Randolph, members of the
Florida Everglades Commission. Mr.
Hall declares great work is being
done in regard to draining off the
water, thus making thousands of
acres of land formerly valueless now
worth large sums.
The Government is taking an active
hand in furnishing information which
will be of great assistance to the
commission in figuring out the various
cuts to be made for canals. Nine
Government stations have been estab
lished in the Everglades.
“While in Florida assisting thq
| Commission to determine the feasibil
ity <jj^Jraining portions of tho Ever-
gla. P" said Mr. Hall,” I saw only
a small amount of the work previous
ly done. It was most pleasing and
satisfactory as far as I could deter
mine from the reports and my per
sonal observations.”

COTTON MARKET
NEW YORK, Aifg 2. In absence of
Liverpool cables and general showers
over the larger pari of the Western
belt, resulted in the cotton market open
ing weaker to-day, first prices at a net
decline of 4 to 18 points from Friday's
closing quotations Good showers were
reported gver the East and Central por
tions of Texas.
The market was long after yester
day’s upturn and there was much early
pressure from room sources. Business
was active. New crop positions were
freely ottered, but very little cotton
changed bands an 1 prices sufferd an
additional decline of 10 to 14 points ill
most active positions from the opening
range. Liverpool cabled that Manches
ter was practically idle, and that spin
ners and manufacturers are cautious
Throughout the short session low' lev
els were sutained. in response to a con-
tant flow of long cotton.
In addition to Texas rains, many of
the more conservative element contend
'hat the Government failed to give the
crop as high, percentage as it deserved.
hy also contend that the benefit of the
recent rains should have been made up
1 n the report, but the percentage given
by the Bureau did not indicate such had
been added.
At the close the market was steady
with, prices at a net decline of 19 to.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: “Nobody guessed the Bureau crop
condition figure low enough, ‘conse
quently everybody spent the last half
of the session explaining somebody’s
error. A multitude admitted bad judg
mem. Many accepted the showing as
bullish. A few expressed the belief
tho Government had erred. But the
market is so restricted by the fear of
adverse legislation that very little- trad
ing was generated by the Government’s
figure of 79.6, which is .4 below’ the ten-
year-averige. Because of the low Bu
reau, bullr attached much importance
to the dry weather In Texas and Ok
lahoma since July 35, and exploited the
claim that further deterioration has
taken place in those States since the
compilation of the Bureau’s data.
“On the other hand, bjg crop people
dug into the record and found that be
tween April 15 and July 25 the Tetri'?
rainfall amounted in 1914 to 7.53 Inches,
in 1912 to 7.59 inches, in 1911 to 7.56
inches From these figures they drew
the deduet Ion that the western plant,
which they say has a good tap root, can
not now be suffering more than nor
mally. and that the crop outlook on the
whoD is really excellent. However,
(he consumer <>f cotton these days seems
to pin greater faith to the significance
of Government utterances on the condi
tion of the crop than does the middle
rear He is also slower to act Thus,
to-day or Monday the market may
show strength as the result of buying
for consumer*’ account.” '
CHICAGO, Aug. 2.—The advancing
tendency of porn prices Was unchecked
at the opening to-day, there being noth
ing in tho news coming forward to war
rant lower prices for this cereal. Con
tinued dry weather prevails over tin
corn belt, although temperatures art-
more seasonable than for several days
past. Shorts were the best buyers in
the pit at the opening and prices were
1 l * to Die higher than ruled at yester
day’s close. Reports received here
stated that farmers in many instances
were feeding wheat because of the
scarcity of corn.
The strength and higher prices ruling
in corn carried wheat % to %c higher,
September selling at %c higher. There
.was a holiday at Liverpool. Repdrts
showed weather in the Northwest clear
and favorable for maturing the crop.
Receipts at both Northwestern points,
as well as Winnipeg, were light.
Oats gained % to %c on poor thrash
ing returns, although the strength in
corn also proved a help in this market.
Bearish construction was placed on
the semi-monthly reports on hog prod
ucts. and this, coupled with a weak hog
market, caused provisions to sell lower.

The Chicago Inter Ocean says: “A
good many wheat traders think that
with corn advancing, and Southwestern
receipts of wheat declining present val
ues are low enough. Conservative com
mission houses are advising against
short sales, except on bulges. That a
hull market is on in corn is certain, but
how long it will last depends upon the
weather. Every day of ‘continued
drouth reduces crop possibilities. The
general belief is that without rain high
er prices will result. Sentiment in oats
is mostly bullish,.and traders are look
ing for them to do better unless corn
breaks.”
