.RUSSlA'S DOORS MAY BE
SHUT TO AMERICAN JEWS

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. GA supple
mentary legislative proposal of frankly
prohibitive character was introduced by
the Nationalists into the duma today
1t is aimed directly at the United
States.
According to the terms Of the pro-
posed enactment, American citizens OF
the Jewish religion are to be totally
barred from Russia and in the second
place customs duties are to be raised
by 100 per cent unless the Russian nor
NAL schedule is lower than the Amet1-
can. In that case a duty equaling the
American duty will be collected.
The author of the bill states that the
last provision is necessary in order 10
deal with the importation of American
Agricultural machinery.
The remaining points of the proposed
bill correspond in virtually every OAR
ticular with the bill introduced on De-
Gem Der % by ex-Presfdent Guchkoff, pro
viding for tariff schedules applicable TO
the United States at the expiration Of
the Russo american commerce and nav
igation treaty Of 1892.

NEXT YEARS MOISTURE FROM
THIS WINTERS SNOW.

During the last two years the weathef
bureau has made systematic measure
ments Of the amount OF snowfall IN tho
mountain regions Of the west for the
purpose Of determining as accurately as
possible the amount of water available
for agricultural and commercial inter-
ests during the ensuing spring and sum-
mer seasons" The above statement was
made recently BY Secretary Of Agricul-
ture Wilson.
Continuing, the secretary said: In com
nection with the study OF snowfall and
its nsequent runoff. a systematic snow
survey was begun in the watershed Of
Maple Creek. near sprlngville, Utah.
While the work was of an experimental
nature it is thought that within two
years sufficient observations win have
been obtained to permit OF accurate fore
casts of water supply from the winter
snowfall. The system can also be exl
tended to other and larger projects. and
the work will be limited only by purpose.
The report on the preliminary campaign
in the Maple Greek watershed has
brought many expressions OF commenda-
ton from farmers and hydraulic en-
gineers-"

DIVORCED, WOMAN GETS,
INSURANCE OF HUSBAND

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Dec. 27.-Though d-

death last April. Mrs. Eva Conrad is
entitled to the proceeds of q 5000 life
insurance policy Of Henry Conrad, who
was wealthy packer, according to the
rulings of Judge William H. Field, of the
circuit court here.
The insurance company, in answer to
her suit, admitted its liability to some
one and offered TO pay the money into
court.
Holding against the administrator, the
court decided yesterday that inasmuch
as the policy was fully paid up two years
before the divorce and since Mrs. Conrad
was named Internationally as the bene-
hciary the principal sum must be con-
sidered as hers absolutely and not SUBJ
ject to the terms of the divorce decree
which provided that each return to the

TR0UP COUNTY TAXES

county is financially in excellent condi-

statements made by Tax Collector c.
p. johnson Tax books in this county
were scheduled to close December %.
and at that time about $4,000 had al
ready been collected through Mr. John
son and his assistants.
@Troup county is not poor this year"
said Tax Collector Johnson. in talking
Of tax collections. 1--WE say we're poor
but there is plenty of money in this
county and the people who are tax pay
ers are slowly but surely paying UP all
their claims. OF course, as in any bus
mess enterprise. there is some loss, but
Troup win show the least loss of any
county in Georgia. / believe"
The tax office showing In Troup coun-
~ IS a safe indication of the resources
of the county, say the business men
and merchants. Extension Of credit has
worked q hardship on a few farmers
and others by reason of the fact that
having secured too much credit
when finances become tight, as has hap
pened this autumn. some few were
pinched financially.
Slow sales of cotton has made money
very tight so far. but the gradual re-
leasing OF this staple mas put more mon
ey in circulation and the outlook for
the year 1919 in Troup county presents
roseate hue. The added assurance
from Troup farmers that next year will
see a surprisingly small planting of cot
ton seed gives impetus 10 trade also
which by the end of next year will have
given Troup county a new and higher
rung on the ladder of agricultural prog
ress.

LIGHT M RELATION TO TREE
GROWTH

Light is said to be absolutely indis-
pensable for the life and growth Of
trees. In common with other green
plants. a tree in order to live. must
produce organic substance for the
building of new tissues. Certain low
forms Of vegetable life, such as bac-
terra and fungi, do not require light
They exist by absorbing organic SUD
stance from other living bodies; the
higher forms of plants manufacture
their own organic material by extract
ing carbon from the air. The leaves.
through the agency OF their chIoropyii.
or green coloring matter, absorb from
the air carbon dioxide. and give off q
nearly equal volume Of oxygen. The
carbon dioxide is then broken up into
its elements and converted into or
ganic substances which are used in
building up new tissues.
Light also influences Transportation,
and consequently the metabolism or
green plants. 1T influences largely the
structure, the form. and the color OF
the leaf. and the form of the stem
and the crown of the tree. In the
forest 1t largely determines the height
growth of trees. the rate at which
stands thin out with age, the progress
of natural pruning, the character OF
the living ground cover. the vigor OF
young tree growth, the existence or
several-storied forest. and many other
phenomena upon which the manage.
ment of forests depends. A thorough
understanding, therefore, of the effect
of light upon the life of Individual
trees. and especially on trees in the
forest, and a knowledge OF the meth
DDS by which the extent of this effect
can be determined are essential for
successful cultural operations in the
forest.

HEAVY RAINS BREAK
RECORD I'M ALBANY

ALBANY. Ga, Dec. 25.-The rainfall
here for the past few days broke some
records. Measurements for four days
by Weather Observer d. W. Brosnan
showed a total precipitation for that pc
riod of TSP inches The measurements
by the observer are made every morning
at o'clock. and the figures for Liie
four days are as follows: December 20,
80 of an inch; q, .94 of an inch; Y, lS5
inches; o. 4.03 inches; total, 7.62 inches.
Flint river, which never gets high
enough at this point to do any mate
rial damage, owing 10 the fact that its
banks are quite precipitous, Is rising
rapidly. For the 24-hour period from
Friday morning at o'clock TO Satur7
day morning at the same hour, the rise
was ST feet The stage of the river at
O'Clock this morning was l0.7 feet
above the low-water mark, and indica-
lions are that it has only begun to feel
the effects of the recent heavy general
rains, which will swell 1t rapidly to the
high-water mark.
The principal damage by the rain in
this section was to unpicked cotton in
the fields Labor has been so scarce
this fall that many fields of cotton had
not been touched by pickers. The rains
have beaten much of this cotton out
and reduced all of it to the lowest
grade. so that it is hardly worth pick
ing now.
Merchants Of Albany lost heavily by
the rains, which continued through
what would have been the busiest part
OF the Christmas shopping season. AL
bany has become big shopping CEN
ter for a wide territory, and the rain
kept away a large part of the out-of-
town trade, by automobile and railway,
that the merchants of Albany had made
elaborte preparations for. When the
rain held up today there was rush and
crush in the stores that taxed the in
creased clerking forces TO the utmost.
