pencil entered the store of Jonathan

Trebizond is a city of Asia Minor, on
the Black sea- 575 miles east OF Con-
stantinople and 100 miles north or
Erzerum. The town was stormed by the
Russians on February 16. Trebizond has
a population of about 10000, including
some 1900 Christians.
The importance of the Black sea port
was due to it's command of the point
where the chief trade route from Persia
and central Asia descends to the sea. 1t
Is separated from the rest of Asia Minor
nv a barrier of rugged mountains 1000 to
R,oco feet high which the Russian armies
had to traverse.
Aided by the Russian fleet. the invaders
pushed past the last series of natural Oh
stacles along the coast when on Sunday
they occupied n strongly fortified Turkish
position OF the left bank OF the Kara
Dere, T. miles outside the fortress.
Since the fall of Erzerum and the cap
ture three weeks later of Bitlis the Turks
are said to have increased the TrezioonG
garrison until It contained three COM
plete divisions, or about $1,000 men, and
to have done everything possible to
strengthen the Black sea port.

THE SUBMtRTNE ISSUE

Germany is attempting to obtain The
nandonment of the policy of strangu-
,ation by starving through the subma-
rine issue with the United States.
In the recent note Germany, after
announcing that the submarine COM
manders had been given instructions
to visit and search neutral ships If
lh6y did not resist or attempt escape,
reserved the right to revoke these or
ders if the United States does not take
steps to make England give up the al
legged illegal blockade.
Secretary Lansing sees the plan. In
the American reply he announces that
the Government takes it for granted
that the instructions are in no way de-
pendent on any action Of the United
States to England on the matter Of
the blockade.
The issue is becoming more clearly
cut. Subterfuge can not much longer
be resorted to.

MARKET BILL BEFORE CONGRESS-
Jewell Mayes, Back From Capitol.
Says Measure May Pass.

Jewell MayeS, secretary of the State
Board of Agriculture, has returned
from Washington, with information
about tn national marketing bill. Sen
ator Morris Sheppard of Texas has
presented tn bill before the Senate
1t provides for a national chamber OF
agriculture and furnishes the crganiz-
ed machinery for national, state,
county and township units for mark
keting farm products.
Suggestions in the lecture by David
l-ubin. American del gates to the In
ternational Institute of Agriculture at
Rome, given here during last Farm
ers' Week. are being considered by the
present session of Congress.
"The proposed legislation" Mr.
Mayes said, takes new ground in this
country. While it may not be in a
form that will be crystallized into law
at this session, its ardent supporters
and the agitation for marketing
statute evidsnc the growing interest
in marketing and distribution.
From nearly every state comes
news of the organized movement for
the drafting and enactment of laws
by the states creating marketing COM
missions or departments. Public SEN
timent is growing in favor of state
and national legislation on market
ing
The bill, as amended last week. is
now before the House and Senate
committees On agriculture. Leaders
of the movement for law on market
ing and distribution predict that the
proposition in some form is very like
ly to b. adopted by the sixty-third
Congress.

THE PIANO

The much abused piano took on a
new dignity when Josef Hofmann, ap-
pearing as soloist with the New York
Symphony Orchestra, showed his al-
dience the possibilities of one in .he
hands of master
The violin, the cello, the guitar and
the other musical instruments are
not, as a rule, greatly overworked BY
Tom, Dick and Harry, because they
are not always available in the hores
and, perhaps, because they require a
little more skill to operate. On the
other hand, as soon as the family ac-
quires enough affluence to have d
parlor, a piano is bought and even

Pumpkin Eater" or IL Took My Girl

The ordinary piano. if it could reg
lister the tunes played upon it accord
ing to quality, would doubtless record
go tunes like Don't Bite the Han
That's Feeding You and America, /
Love You" to one rendition Of
BeethOven's Sonata Pathetique."
Because of this prevalence of the
popular music in our homes, We have
grown to expect it. If man sits a.
the piano, We at once look for The
violent contortions that accompany the
heavy bass and the shrill treble of the
ragtime tune. If he disappoints us
and wanders off into the mazes of a
Chopin waltz or the lively strains ol
a gavotte, a good round of gossip pre-
vents his sensitive soul from max
ing another flight into the classical
atmosphere.
We have put up with this sort of
thing so much that the though; of a
piano brings a suggestion of pleasure
only as it is substitute for some
other noise maker Consequently, to
hear Josef Hofmann, to have the fol-
gotten emotions of the soul aroused
TO their depths by the clear, vibrant
tones which he produced, to enjoy
harmonies that you did not believe cy-
istfd, stepped as you are in the mem-
G':es of ragtime melodies-these are
the things that made you give the
patient piano an extra busting yester-
day morning or think of it as you
would of a fri5nd as you passed it on

Italian Funny
And Breaks Up
The Courts

ATLANTA, Ca, April 24-The eff
forts of Charles Peppino, an Italian
delicatessen dealer, to convince judge
and jury in Atlanta that he wouldn't
think of selling sausage that makes
people sick were so vociferous and so
ludicrous that the bailiffs had to lock
the courtroom doors to keep out the
spectators.
Peppino knows a few words of Eng
fish, but when he launched his story he
very promptly forgot them and began
tc karangnn the court in his native
tongue. Tie Judge had to threaten to
send him to Jail for contempt of court
before he could stop Peppino's oratory,
and then an Interpreter was called to
put the muffler tn him.

Selecting Cotton
Resistant to Boil Rot
10y (. Rast, in Charge of Cotton In
dustry, Georgia State College
Of Agriculture

Fifteen varieties Of cotton have
been tested for two years at the Col
lege of Agriculture to determine their
resistance to anthracnose or boil rot.
The results of two years have been
obtained for only eight varieties. The
order in which they stand as to re-
sistance of anthracnose is as follows:
College No. l, Sunbeam No. so, Cooks.
Modella, Sunbeam No. 80 Half and
Half, Toole, Simpkins. Among those
showing up well under the one years
test are Lewis, Dixie and Cleveland.
In testing these varieties for resist
ance, it was made quite certain that
all had an opportunity of being infect
ed. A variety known to be infect
ed and very poor in resistance was
planted in alternate rows with the
varieties mentioned. They were thus
subject to the severest test. that could
occur under field conditions. That
the disease was prevalent and very
active is shown by the total destruc-
ton of one variety that is very sus-
ceptible, during the last year. Col
lege No l showed only 2.9 per cent
of diseased bolls, Sunbeam 4.6 per-
centage of diseased bolls, Cooks 81,

College Assists In Getting
Eggs to Best Market
w. S. Oilts, Instructor Department Of
Poultry, Georgia State Col
lege OF Agriculture.

Egg routes" are being established
at various places in Georgia in con-
nection with cream routes, for the
purpose of assembling eggs at given
shipping points. At these centers
proper attention to grading and pack
ing can be given so that the eggs can
be sent off to the best-paying market
Recent experiments with high-clasS
Georgia eggs sent in 80 dozen packs
to the city of New York, revealed that
after express and commission has
been deducted, the net return to the
shipper was very much greater than
could be obtained in local markets.
While it is not expected that the Or
binary run of eggs obtained on an
egg route" will bring as much as this
particularly fine lot, yet it is quite
certain that there will be no trouble
to net at least five cents more on the
dozen than can be found on local mar
kets in Georgia.
The egg routes have been associat-
ed with the cream routes, one person
finding it easy enough to collect both.
thus reducing the expense of collec-
ton. 1t costs from ~ to 2 cents per
dozen to collect, sort and pack for
shipment the eggs that are being re-
ceived from these routes. Collections
are being made from two to three
times week, thus permitting eggs to
go fresher to market than country
eggs usually do.

Farrar Likes

Men All Right

ATLANTA, Ga, April 24.-Why does
Geraldine Farrar, the famous soprano,
who is now Mrs. Lou-Tellegen, wife Of
TIE motion picture actor, prefer a
hlack-haired man to blond?
Shortly after Miss Farrar's recent
marriage to Lou-Tellegen, it was an
nOunced that Sc had died his hair the
solor of the ravens wing, because she
preferred that kind of thatch.
And now her blond-haired gentle
men friends in Atlanta are wondering
what's wrong with the hair God gave
them, and are trying to persuade Miss
Farrar to tell them why black-haired
man is more attractive than one with
locks of gold
They want to know what peculiar
masculine quality, if any, attaches to
the possession of raven hair, and why
this quality if any there be, is so pleas
ing to a woman.
Miss Farrar is letting EN- rave ana
tear their blond curls and isn't telling
them a thing.
Her return to Atlanta with the
Metropolitan for the week of grand
opera which opens tonight has demon
strated once more the great popularity
of her voice and personality among At

NEW SERVICE BY
THE TELEPHONE

The new Two-Number long distance
telephone service, which was recently
authorized by the state railroad com
mission was inaugurated April 1st.
This service is to be tried as an
experiment for a period of one year 10
certain points within a radius of fifty
miles of Atlanta, Savannah, Macon,
Columbus and Augusta. officials of the
Bell system believe the new method
with its reduced rates will prove pop
ular with the public In the event it is
a success, it will be extended to include
other points throughout the south.
The saving of operators time and
Of the use of circuits in passing calls
is an important element in long dis
lance operating. Under the new
method you do not call long distance
when making a TwO-Number call. You
give the name of the town and the
number of the distant phone to the local
operator who answers your signal.
The charges for the service begin Z
the called telephone answers, and the
operator does not undertake to get &
particular party. Calls can be made in
the usual way by calling long dis
lance.
Telephone officials are hoping that
local merchants will use the new
method and give it a thorough test on
their calls to Atlanta.
