Reporter of the w. c T. u. Conven-

On returning to his home at Gov

"The people of Dawson literally
turned the city over to the delegates.
Their hospitality was ever most gra-
ciOus and knew no bounds.
''The writer was assigned a room
at Mrs. w. F. Sherman's. She was a
most kind and charming hostess and
added to the pleasure of our visit in
many ways. 1 was the guest of the
Hon. and Mrs. w. H. Gurr for my
meals. 1t was the renewal of old
Emory College friendship with Mr..
Gurr, as we had been there together.
They were most charming in their
hospitality to me and make my mem
DRY of Dawson most pleasing one.
Mr.. j. R. Webb, one of Dawson's
most prominent cotton factors anG
farmers, gave me a most pleasant
automobile ride out over Terrell
county farm lands We saw his fine
farm, where he was making syrup
and also his peanuts stacked like hay
around a pole, now cured and ready
for picking.
"Then we rode back through a
300-acre peanut farm, from which
the owner will receive $4,000 fo1
this years crop
The Dawson women's Civic Clubs

WILL CALL UPON THOUSANDS
OFWOMEN BEFORE NEXT SPRING
VIII Be Needed in Muniton Factories, Navy Yards, Ship
building Plants, and Other Lines of Industry.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The gov
eminent is preparing to call upon
thousands of American women to
play their part in the war.
Before spring, according to pres
ent indications, women will be need
ed in munitions factories, navy yards,
shipbuilding plants and many other
lines of war industry. The navy de-
partment, it was declared, stands
ready to employ them in great num-
bers.
The navy already is employing
more women than any other govern
ment bureau. The great clothing fac
tories conducted by the department
at Philadelphia and Charleston are
run entirely by women.
Officials admitted today that this
country is facing a grave labor short
age, a shortage of skilled workers
which will require legislation to rem
edy.
The most menacing shortage at
present is at the yards where the
emergency feet is being turned out.
So serious has the situation become,
it was said today, that the shipping
board contemplates request to the
president to exempt all mechanics
from the operation of the draft.
Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Roosevelt believes that women will
be the force to rescue the govern
ment's war work.

HOOVER PUTS The
BLAME ON RETAILERS
SAYS HE'S GOING TO EXPOSE
THEM UNLESS THEY LOWER
THEIR PRICES AT ONCE.

Mr.. Hoover, of the United States
food administration, says avericious
grocers and farmers who extort I'M
reasonable and unfair profits from
customers will be exposed by the
United States food administration
According to Mr.. Hoover most of the
essential commodities should one af-
ter another show reductions between
now and the end of the year. The
food administrator says that retailers
are not responding to price reduc-
tons set by wholesalers. He declares
that If publicity and persuasion do
not result in greater cooperation on
the part of small store keepers and
farmers congress at its next session
shall be asked to control retail bust
ness at it now controls wholesale
business.
A nationwide campaign to force
down food prices will be begun and
wholesale prices of all commodities
IN every section will be published.
Then the public will know what the
retailer is paying for his commodities
anu WhCIlAC1 IiG ID IGdpluS uIl1dlT
profits.
Retail Prices Still Too High.
The wholesale price of flour since
the government fixed the price of
wheat, ranges from SO to 5000 a
barrel. The average price of flour
in 1876 cities of the country on Oct.
13 was $13.77, indicating that re-
tailers are exacting an unfair profit
from the consumer.
In many cities there has been an
increase in the retail price of sugar,
though the wholesalers did not in
crease the price to retailers.
Mr.. Hoover finds that in spite of
the fact that wholesale prices of meat
have been reduced, consumers are be-
ing compelled to dig deeper in their
pockets to swell the profits of retail
ers.

WAR WILL SEE BATTLES
SIX MILES IN THE AIR
New American Invention Will Per-
nit Aviators to Record Heights.

By means of a new American in
vention, United States aviators will
be able to attain height of nearly
six miles above the German battle
lines. A commission of American
scientists has invented a respiration
machine to produce liberty oxygen"
and make an altitude possible.
Previous to this the altitude rec
ord has been kept down by man
rather than by machine Aeroplanes
were able to go higher than man
could stand to go. The new breath
ing machine will permit an aviator
to pass the oxygen zone.

PEG" LEGS FOR HORSES
is PLAN OF VETERINARIAN
To Save Cripple Animals For Light
Farm Work Is Proposed.

A French-American veterinarian,
the name of whom was not divulged,
has offered to the American Red Star
at Philadelphia plan for providing
peg" legs for horses and mules. The
man has made 81 trips across the
Atlantic with horses since the war
began. He has studied the problem
of using injured animals.
The leg, which has proved success
full in actual tests, is made of steel,
with a special quadrant spring imi-
tating the vertical and lateral fiex-
ings of the ankle and fetlock. Elk
periments have shown that, while
horses rugged with these artificial
limbs cannot be used for active ser
vice, they are able to do light work
on farms.

UNITED STATES HAS
BOUGHT MEXICAN PESOS
Six Million Pieces Are to Be Made
Into Silver Coins.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Six mil
lion Mexican silver pesos have been
bought by the treasury department
for 88A cents an ounce for minting
into half dollars, dimes and quarters.
The treasury, when faced with the
necessity of buying silver for coin
age at steadily increasing prices
brought the value of the metal dan
gerously close to the minted value.
Now the price of silver in this
country has dropped precipitately.
The swift collapse from SIG to IS
cents an ounce within three weeks
has resulted in an investigation to
determine whether the market had
been manipulated.
