II Is Said
In compliance with requests from
farmers and dairymen in all parts of
the state, the agricultural department.
of Georgia has decided to begin Wig
orous campaign against the sale of
oleomargarine in This state. IL is
claimed by those who supply the mar
kets of Atlanta and other cities of the
state with butter that their traffic Is
being destroyed by the sale of oleO-
margarine, which commands half the
price butter being % cents per
pound. Oleomargarine is sold for 1917

margarine in the southern states will
probably be brought before the con-
ventiOn of the state commissioners of

The Remarkable Adventures of a
Texan Who Visited Saint Louis
With a Big Wad of
Money

One of the happiest men that has been
i'm Saint Louis for many day is Zenas
Martin. he left for Texas yesterday
morning with a nice roll that contained
over So 900. The story OF that same
bunch of money is most remarkable
one.
About three months ago Martin sold
out his business in small Texas town
for 81, 900 cash and came to this city. IHe
had three 81, 900 bills. and nearly $1,000
more in greenbacks of other deDomna-
tons. After taking in the sights for a
few days he proceeded to load up on St.
Louis taDglefoot and do the city in true
Texas style. Cab rides, cold bottles and
all their Accomplishments were tight in
his line.
One night he became solicitous for the
money, and before starting on a pro-
longed spree he pasted the three $1,000
bills on the inside of his shirt front
When he reached his room at dawn the
next morning be disrobed and tossed
the shirt on the floor, taking it, later on.
with some collars and cuffs to laundry,
forgetful of the 1000 bills which deco
rated It's interior surface.
1t was not until the next day that the
clouds passed ont of Martins brain, and
then a species of insanity seized the un-
fortunate man. He could remember ev-
eTything but the name and location of
the laundry where he left that valuable
shirt. In frenzy of despair he drank
more and harder, and for two or three
days he wandered about until he landed
at union station one night, got ticket
for Baltimore, where he had relatives.
and left the town without notifying the
police or anybody else. He was taken
seriously i'll in the Monumental city and
fingered for two months in an almost
hopeless condition.
Finally he recovered, when like fash
came the memory of the laundry where
he lett his linen in Saint Louis. 1t was
on Easton avenue, near Webster. AS
soon as he could get there be came. On
Saturday he quietly walked into the
Home laundry and made himself known.
SO you're Mr.. Martin, are you?" said
theodore klages, one OF the proprietors
OF the laundry. "Well, I'm glad TO see
you, for l have been waiting a long time
