SEN. LAFOLLETTE
CLAIMED BY DEATH
WISCONSIN SENATOR LOSES
DESPERATE FIGHT FOR LIFE
IN WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON. — Senator Robert
M. Lafollette, for many years a
stormy petrel of American politics,
died here Thursday, June 18.
Death resulted from heart failure,
induced by a general breakdown and
an attack of bronchial asthma.
The Wisconsin Senator and late in¬
dependent presidential candidate, be¬
gan failing in health even before the
1924 campaign. Several weeks ago
he contracted a severe cold which
developed into asthma. His heart,
which had been unable to stand the
strain, gave way during the night and
he sank rapidly after daylight Thurs¬
day.
Although they realized the serious¬
ness of Senator Lafollette’s condition,
members of his family had hoped un¬
til the last that he would recover.
Wednesday night his physicians said
he was resting, but nevertheless he
took a quick and decided turn for the
worse in the night hours and hope
was abandoned.
Had Angina Pectoris.
Senator Lafollette long was a vic¬
tim of angina pectoris, a heart ail¬
ment, and this, with his asthmatic
attack, caused him to suffer greatly
from shortness of breath, violent
coughing spells accompanied his ill¬
ness.
To the last, however, he insisted on
cheerful reports being given out as
to his illness and it was not until
Wednesday that it was admitted that
his condition was serious.
South Georgia
Watermelon Season
At Highest Point
MOULTRIE, Ga.—The South Geor¬
gia watermelon shipping season has
reached its highest point, buyers here
said today. They estimated that
from 1,500 to 2,000 cars will go for¬
ward during the six day period which
began Monday morning. So far there
has been no pronounced break in
prices and the market is expected
to hold up for at least four or five
|uore days. The melons that are
shipped between now and Saturday
will get to the great centers in am¬
ple time for the Fourth of July trade
when the demand for the fruit is
highest and for that reason distri-j
butors think that prices will remain'
fairly steady for nearly a week.
The Florida shipping season is
practically over and nearly all of the
buyers hate come to South Georgia.
The Bureau of Agricuitral Econo¬
mics, United States Department of
Agriculture in cooperation with the
State Bureau of Markets, has opened
its office in Valdosta and from there
will disseminate information of in¬
terest and benefit to growers.
The best information available indi¬
cates that the melons that were ship¬
from South Georgia last week
brought an average of around $400
a car. They are quoted today at
from $300 to $500 depending cm size.
It is already certain that the season
pill be one of the most profitable
South Georgia has seen in a decade.
Colquitt growers are expected to sell
at least a half million dollars worth
of melons. *
Officials of the Sowega Melon Grow¬
ers Association, a cooperative organ¬
ization, are highly optimistic over the
situation and declare that they are
finding difficulty in meeting the de¬
mand for the melons shipped under
the Association label So far the co¬
operatives hasn't given out in forma¬

5,000 Children Pray
To Get Relief From
Plague of Scorpions
DURANGO, Mex.—Five thousand
children attended a special mass in
the cathedral here recently, when
prayers were offered or a cessation of
the plague of scorpions which has in¬
vaded this district.
From the thousands of dead in¬
sects which have been brought in to
the municipal authorities attempts
are being made to produce a serum
against the poisonous sting of the
hairy creature. Ten thousand live
scorpions have been shipped to the
federal department of health.
The fact that a majority of the
poorer class houses in Durango and
nearby villages are Constructed of
adobe bricks and unplastered is be¬
lieved to account for the plague, as
the cracks between the bricks offer
ideal breeding places. Another the¬
ory is the myriads of scorpions have
been driven from the nearby hills by
the recent earthquake.
CHECKS ARE SENT
1 COTTON GROWERS
PAYMENT OF GEORGIA CO-OPE
RATIVE BODY TOTALS $2,159,
000. EXPENSES LIGHTER.
ATLANTA, Ga.—Late this after¬
noon, the Georgia Cotton Growers Co¬
operative Association completed the
task of mailing out to its members
final settlement and payment on their
1924 cotton. The payment amounted
to $2,159,000.
The total payments made to the
members during the past year, in¬
cluding the final payment, reached
$12,000,000 on the 105,982 bales deliv¬
ered by the members.
Remarkable progress was shown
during the past season, according to
the statement issued by the associa¬
tion, in the matter of operating costs.
The cost of operation, including stor
age, insurance, interest, office over¬
head and all items of expense
amounted to 99 points, or $4.86 on an
average bale of cotton, the average
weight per bale of cotton handled by
the association during the past sea¬
son being 491 pounds. \
During the first two years of the
association, when the organization
was being built and worked out, ex¬
penses of operation were approxi¬
mately $7 per bale. Officials of the
organization accounted for the reduc¬
tion in overhead, or operating costs
in a number of ways; reduced inter¬
est and storage charges cut expenses
considerably; with three years’ exper¬
ience, it has been made possible for
the organization affairs to be handled
by a much less number of employes,
due to their experience and to the
development of the co-operative
However, it was emphasized the one
thing that had been most instru¬
mental in the reduction of expenses
was the fact that the members had
delivered 40,000 bales more cotton
this year than for the previous year,
and that as the members have come
to learn more of their organization,
their co-operation, as individual mem¬
bers, is better, which necessitates
much less work, thereby catting down
the costs of operation.
