President Poincare of France de-
clares that France is determined to
continue war until German militarism
is annihilated. The Kaiser declares
that the methods of the Allies will
surely fail; and the leaders among
the Allies predict a year of victory.
Such confidence on both sides of the
European belligerents doesn't fore
shadow an early peace, but still there
are optimists who look for peace
some way, somehow, in a short time.

U. S. GRAIN STANDARDS ACT
Provides for the Establishment of Off.
cial Standards.

The United States grain standards act
which gives the secretary OF agriculture
authority to establish, as soon as may
be, official grain standards applicable tc
grain shipped in interstate or foreign
commerce, became law on Aug. IL, 1916
The act authorizes the secretary OF
/ agriculture to investigate the handling
and grading of grain and to establish, as
| soon as may be, standards for corn
wheat, rye. oats, barley, faxseed and
other grains. Not less than 90 days
public notice must be given in advance of
the date on which any such standard be-
comes effective.
Whenever such standards are estab-
lished for any grain, the act forbids the
shipment or delivery for shipment, in in.
terstate or foreign commerce originating
in the United States, of any such grain
which is sold, offered for sale, or con-
signed for sale by grade, unless it is in
spected and graded by licensed inspec-
tor, either at the place OF shipment, at
point in transit, or at the destination.
In case no licensed inspector is located
either at the point OF shipment or at the
point Of destination, the grain my be
shipped without inspection, in which
event either party to the transaction
may refer any dispute as to the grade to
the secretary of agriculture.
When grain shipped or delivered for
shipment in interstate or foreign com
merce is required to be inspected and
graded by licensed inspector, it is made
unlawful for any person to represent
that it is of grade other than that
stated in a certificate issued in compli
ance with the act.

portions of the act particularly those
with reference to the inspection by Ii.
eensed inspectors of grain shipped in in

An appropriate ion of $25O,000 is made
for the enforcement of the act.
The necessary rules and regulations
will be prepared and published at the
earliest possible date, in order that per-
sons interested may have an opportunity
to become familiar with them before any
of the standards become effective.
Objects Sought in the Act.

Shipment By Sample Permitted


The act permits the shipment in inter
state or foreign commerce of grain solc
by sample or by type, or under any de
scription which is not false and mislead
/ ing and does not include any of thu
terms of the official grain standards.
The secretary OF agriculture is au
| thorized to examine grain that has been
/ certified to conform to any grade Of the
official grain standards, or that has been
! shipped in interstate or foreign com
merce. If, after an opportunity for hear
ing has been gsen to the interested par
ties, it is determined that any such grain
has been incorrectly certified or has been
sold under name, description or Gesig
nation which is false or misleading, he
may publish his findings.
When grain shipped in interstate or
foreign commerce has been inspected as
required by the act, any interested party
may, either with or without reinspection
appeal the question of its grade to the
secretary of agriculture. The secretary
of agriculture is authorized to determine
the true grade of the grain, and his find
ings are made prima facie evidence of
that fact in suits between the parties in
federal courts. Reasonable fees may be
charged for hearing disputes and appeals.
When appeals are sustained, such fees
are to be refunded Every person en-
ploved to inspect and grade grain for
shipment in interstate or foreign COM
merce is prohibited from certifying the
grain according to the official grain
standards. unless he holds an unsuspend-
ed and unreyoked license issued by the

BAPTIST CHURCH
GROWS RAPIDLY
MEMBERSHIP OF THE SOUTHERN
BRANCH NOV REACHES A
TOTAL OF 2,ee5, 452.

Southern Baptists have declined to
enter into a union with other denOm-
nations in foreign mission work for
the reasons summarized in a report
made TO the convention by the Foreign
Mission board at Asheyille, y. G.,
yesterday. The reasons given are:
Arbitrary territorial divisions for
missionary operations proposed by
federation are opposed.
Proposed agreement for an inter-
change Of church letters are held TO be
contrary to recognized custom among
Baptist churches of south.
The board considers IL of primary
importance that it control, or control
jointly with other Baptist bodies. the
religious instructions given to boys
and girls entrusted to its care.
A policy abroad consistent with de-
nominational policy at home is strong
ly favored.
The Foreign Mission board points
ont that this question, which has caus-
ed some sharp discussions in the con-
vention for several sessions, is closely
allied to the church union question.
Enormous growth Of the Southern
Baptist church is disclosed by the re-
port made TO the convention by DR..

tary. The membership has reached

NEEDED RAIN IS
EXPECTED SOON
WEATHER FORECAST SAYS SHOW
Err MAY COME TODAY
TREES ARE SUFFERING.

All indications point to a rain in
the near future The weather fore
cast for today says rain will probably
fail, while sprinkling -ast night look
ed encouraging. The drouth has been
severe, especially in southern Georgia
and crops have been endangered. Al
so trees and flowers have suffered,
as shown by the following letter of
appeal which was issued yesterday
by the Civic association:
"The trees which the Civic associa-
ton have planted this season are in
great danger of dying for want of
water. The extreme dryness on ac-
count of the drouth has necessitated
the watering of the trees by hand, and
while the city authorities are doing
all they can to help the situation. it
is almost out of the question for them
to give these trees the individual at
tention each requires. So this appeal
is addressed to the citizens of the
community to help out the Civic as
ISOLATION, and the city generally by
watering daily such of the trees as
are in their immediate vicinity.
"Of course some of the good peo-
pie of the city are doing this daily,
for which the civic association officers
are duly appreciative; there are 9TH
ers who will gladly do it when the mat
ter is called to their attention.
ut is hoped that rains will come
in short time now, but there have
been several false alarms recently and
no big rains yet. Please take a look
around your premises and help out the
plant life of the city by sprinkling
the trees and plants in front of and
around your homes and do this fre-
quently until we do have some rains"

RAILROADS GIVE
OUT STATEMENT
DISCUSS EIGHT HOUR DAY LAW
WHICH is NOW BEING
A6ITATEO.

Plaeards are being posted about
Brunswick, urging laboring men to
! advocate an Cight-hOur day for EN-
| plOyes OF the Southern railways. The
! railroads side OF this question is Civ
en- in the following statement issued
yesterday By the executive committee
of the southeastern railways:
The exten: to which the wages of
| men employed in freight service on
| railways in the southeast would be
increased, should the demands for the
eight-hour basic day and for time and
half for overtime be granted, is best
shown by i.lGetrations from actual
service condition.. About one-half of
the southeastern roads are, in through
freight service. required to pay the
minimum days rate for 100 miles or
, less at the end Of hours and about
one-half pay the minimum day at
the end of 8 hours. The overtime rate
in through freight service on most
Of these lines is so cents per hour. In
10 hours as q rule constitute a mini
mum day for 100 miles or less.
Taking for example an engineer on
a southeastern line who takes 10 hours
to complete a run of 100 miles or less,
using an engine for which his mini
mum days pay is $5.40 and his over
time rate 60 cents per hour. On a
line where the eight-hour basis pre-
walls he is now paid $3.50 if on duty
10 hours. On a line where the nine
hour basis prevails he is paid $500
Under the conditions which the
men are demanding, the overtime rate
i. on a $40 engine would be lifted from
60 cents per hour to $101 per hour
and for running the same 100 miles
or less in 10 hours as at present the
engineer would receive $7.42.
I'm local freight service the standard
day in the southeast. as in other ter
ritories, is now 10 hours and the pre-
vailing rate for he engineer is $5.75
with overtime at 60 cents per hour
Should the demands for the eight
hour basic day with time and a half
for overtime be granted, the overtime
rate would be lifted from 60 cents to
$l.0S per hour, and the engineer run
ming the same 100 miles or less in 10
hours would be paid 1871 per day in.
stead of $5.75 as at present.
THE same ratio of increase would
be shown by comparisons for con-
ductors, brakemen and firemen."
