Democratic Leader in Upper
House Stricken.
HAD BEEN SLIGHTLY. ILL
Was the Chairman Of the Foreign
Affairs Committee Since vii.
sons Inauguration.

Washington, Feb. 14.-Augustus @.
Bacon, United States senator from
Georgia for nearly nineteen years and
chairman of the foreign relations COM
mittee since the ascendancy of the
Democratic party March 4, 1913, died
in hospital here today after an ILL
ness of ten days. He was the first
United States senator by direct vote
of the people under the seventeenth
constitutional amendment.
Though Senator Bacon had been
seriously i'll with kidney trouble and
complications developed from broken
rib his death was unexpected. 1t came
suddenly at 2 o'clock in the afternoon
and news CT the end fell upon the
senate as shock while it was in ex-
ecutive session.
The immediate cause of the sena-
tors death was diagnosed as blood
clot in the heart. Throughout the
morning he had been in good spirits
and it was announced to his colleagues
that he was feeling better than for
several days. Physicians had deter
mined that an operation which had
been contemplated was unnecessary.
Despite his seventy-five years it ap-
peared that the aftliction from which
he suffered was of recent origin and
specialists believed it would yield to
treatment. This conclusion relieved
considerably the anxiety of his friends
and associates in congress.
Senator Bacon's demise comes at a
time when general arbitration treaties
with foreign nations are to be taken
up for disposition, the treaties with
Great Britain and Japan being of prin-
cipal concern to the ADMINISTRATION.

Serious Condition in Sydney and Mel.
bourne, Australia.
Sydney, Australia, Feb. 1.-THE
strike of slaughtermen, butchers and
meat statesmen here has caused an
acute meat famine in this city. Even
at the restaurants it was impossible

butchers stores were empty.
Similar conditions prevail in Mel

URGES HOLDING COTTON
SENATOR SMITH ISSUES OPTIMIS-
TIC STATEMENT TO FARMERS.
Saws Financial Conditions Will Meet
Situation and Urges Cooperation.
Predicts a Market Soon.

MISUNDERSTANDING Smith
Of Georgia issued an optimistic state
lnent on the cotton situation today,
advising farmers to hold their cotton.
He says he believes the farmer who
holds his cotton will get more for 1t
than the man who sells it. He ad-
yises a state movement to obtain in
formation of warehouses in which
the cotton can be stored and advises
that arrangements be made to carry
over one-quarter of the crop.
Senator Smith introduced the bill
today which he placed before the con-
gressional conference Saturday night
for discussion, and calls attention to
the currency bill, which he and 9TH
ers worked out for Introduction in
the senate.
One of these amendments provides
that cotton warehouse receipts shall
be regarded as commercial paper;
other that the limit of 80 per cent
on commercial paper be raised to rs
per cent; a third amendment gives
state banks an unquestioned right tc
participate in the benefits of the
emergency currency act If they join
the federal reserve association.
Senator Smith predicts a lessened
production of cotton next year be-
cause of the surplus this year and
the shortage of potash for fertilizer
which comes from Germany. He pre-
diets a market for cotton soon, as
England uses half the exported cot
ton within her mills The financial
condition of the country will meet
the situation, he says, and he urges
cooperation.
Representative Byrnes of South
Carolina introduced amendments to
the Northumberland act in the
house providing a construction of the
act which will permit state banks to
come into the federal reserve asso-
citation without payment of ten per
cent tax. His amendment carried
also the provision that banks should
be able to use notes backed by cotton
receipts as commercial paper, as well
as warehouse receipts Of all staple
agricultural products. Another pro-
posal was that the time limit under
which state banks may enter the fed
eral reserve system be extended for
80 days.

used in the canning of ear corn when
idle glass jars are not available. Gal
Ion tin cans will hold from to Il
ears. They should be graded to uni
form size.
In high attitudes, 1000 feet and
over. it will be necessary to increase
tha time requirements in the canning
of sweet corn about 25 per cent, II
water boils at about 202 degrees
Fahrenheit and even less.
In the average home a large num-
Der of glass jars are idle every year
The use of these idle jars is recon-
mended, but if none are available
the most economical and practical
containers are the half gallon and
the gallon tin cans.
One advantage of sweet corn
canned on the cob over other canned
corn is that all the best food values
are kept with the cob. In cutting
corn off the germ quality of the kerr
mel. which keeps up it's standard, is
usually lost. This germ quality is
the part of the corn that is sought
nv rats and mice when they look for
food in the corn bin and is the most
vital part. Much of the corn is also
rendered mashy when it is cut from
the cob.
In regard to the container for corn
on the cob it might be mentioned
that for advertising and exhibition
glass is much more sat1stac-
tory than the tin can, but if corn
on the cob were to be put up in large
quantities as a business venture the
glass would not be practical, beng
to expensive, but the tin cans would
prove quite satisfactory
