MARKET BUREAU BILL
PASSED WITH A
RECORD VOTE
Fifteen Thousand Dollars
Appropriated To Pay
For The Work.

The farmers of Georgia will re-
;o;co To know that the State Market
bureau bill, which was introduced
bv representative John P. Cheney,
has nassed by record breaking vote.
This bill was introduced at the be-
Ginning of this sessisR by our rep
resentative and he succeeded in
bringing it to vote in the house
last Saturday. 1t passed by vote
Of ISL to 10. 1t was Immediately
transmitted to the Senate where it
was passed on Tuesday by vote
of Sc to 2. These figures show only
p members of the legislature against
the bill which is, according to old
members. record vote.
This law creates Bureau of Mar
kets in the Department of Agricul-
ture which will be in charge of a
Director of Markets who will be ap-
pointed by the Commissioner of Ag-
riculture. The sum of $4,000 was
appropriated to carry on the work
to be done by the Bureau.
The object of the Bill is to aid the
farmers who produce the crops to
find better market for their pro-
ducts, and will work largely along
the same lines as the Georgia Fruit
Exchange which has saved hundreds
of thousands of dollars for the peach
growers.
The bureau will work to get far
mers, bankers, merchants and bust
ness men in every county to get to-
gether and establish local marketing
systems, one for each county, so
that the farmer who diversifies his
crops will have a nearby market for
them. This will assure him of fair
and reasonable price for his products
and he will not be confronted with a
local glutted market as is now often
the case.
The State Market Bureau will act
in conjunction with all these local
market associations in the nature of
clearing house for them. The bill
was endorsed by the Farmers Union
and the Georgia Agricultural So
Getty 1t was also highly favored by
the labor organizations of the State
because it was thought a more equal
distribution of food products would
enable the laboring people of the
state to secure the necessities of life
at a more reasonable price.
Mr. Cheney says that he was ably
assisted in the passage of the bill by
his colleague from Cobb, Hon. Fred
Morris and feels good over it's pas
sage.

MARIETTA WINS GOLF
MATCH FROM THE
ROME CLUB
Local Players Lead Visitors
With Is Points After
Game In Rain.

Regardless of the downpour of
rain Wednesday afternoon the 1S
hole match play between the golfers
of Rome and Marietta was played on
the local links. The game was sche-
duled to begin at 2 80 but it was an
hour later when the rain slowed up
enough for the players to get out on
the links. Rain continued to fall
throughout the game and pools of
water on the course proved great
handicap for the players.
Out of SO points only points were
halved. Marietta won rs points and
Rome 8, which gave Marietta a mar
gin of Is points.
Mr.. George Daniel made the best
medal score for the 10 holes which
was 68. Mr.. George Montgomery
was close second with SO strokes,
which is phenomenal golf for the To-
cal course when the rain is taken in
to consideration. DIR. w. H. Per-
kinson led in the number of holes
won.
Before the game delicious lun-
cheon was served.
The committee preparing the lun-
cheon included Mrs. w. A. DuPre,
Mrs. George Montgomery, Mrs. A.
H. Gilbert, Mrs. t. l.. Wallace, Mrs.
George Daniel, Mrs. A. v. Cortel-

farmer and was heard with great
! pleasure; Maj. B. w. Hunts address
on the Farmer and the Banker was
very fine-calculated to bring farmer
and banker into closer communion
and confidence with one another; an
address by Mr.. George r, James, of
Memphis, Tenn, on Farm Homes,
Farm Implements and Farm Machin-
cry, was one of the finest.a He spoke

Rights of the Small
Nations Respected

+ Washington, April l5.-President
Wilson has personally begun the for
mutation OF a definite program for
the great war conferences to begin
here next week with official repre-

tain to find its way into the confer
ences. In welcoming the foreign

pected to point to the aspirations OF

Assembly Of South
American Republics
To Form an Entente

Buenos Aires, April l5.-The A. B.
c. governments are reported neso-
tiating with a view to convening in
Buenos Aires an assembly of the
South American republics in order to
study and establish if possible con-
tinental entente concerning the vari-
Gus problems arising from the war.
Notwithstanding the generality of the
plan, it appears Argentina and Brazil
desire uniform action on the part of
South America and Mexico.
Peru and Ecuador were in favor Of
convening congress of LatinAmeri-
can republics to try TO bring about an
active cooperation towards peace in
Europe. This tendency is not so
strong since the rupture between
Brazil and Germany.
The government has ordered the
concentration in the inner harbor of
Buenos Aires of all the German ves-
sells now in Argentine waters.

on the part Of those interested in
bringing an agreement by the con-

bill it looked tonight as if deadlock
between the house and senate would
result.
In Che face of an announcement
yesterday by Governor Neville that if
the legislature failed to pass bill he
would call an extra session, leaders
Of either house have thus far shown
no signs Of Ayielding. The lower
house passed bill regarded as bone
dry. The senate so amended it as to
make it what friends of the house bill
declare to be distinctively wet. Con-
ference committees have been unable
to reach an agreement. Speaker
Jackson of the house tonight issued
the following staten mt:

position that it will not permit the

End the War.
HIS ANSWER TO GERMAN

New York, April l5,--Promincnt
democrats from all parts of the coun-
try celebrated the l74th anniversary
of the birth of Thomas Jefferson, a
banquet held here tonight, under the
auspices of the National Democratic
club. Among the speakers were:
James w. Gerard, former ambassador

Ollie James of Kentucky and Ket
Pittman OF Nevada and John Davis,
solicitor general of the Department
of Justice. Joseph P. Tumulty, secre-
tary to President Wilson, brought a
message from the president.
Mr.. Gerard said that at the time
the Lusitania was sunk an official of
the German government in Berlin told
him that the United States would
not "dare to make any move" be-
cause there were 100000 German re-
servists in America, who would rise
against, this country. y
"I said to him: Can you point
to one single man with all American
passport who is serving in your army'
There are thousands of men. serving
in the armies of the allies OF American
citizenship. But point out to me one
with an American passport who Is i;
your army. If you can show me one,
| will believe then that the German
Americans are with you"
The former ambassador warned
Americans against the belief that
"either starvation or revolution is go.
ing to end this war in our favor"

ton. As long as they are ruled by a
few, as long as the military spirit
prevails, there can be no security
and no peace in the world"

FRANK ROCKEFELLER
DEAD IN CLEVEUAND.
Bought Kansas Ranch and
Lived Plain Life on West
ern Prairies.
oUARRELED WITH JOHN D.

Cleveland, O., April IS, Frank
Rockefeller Y, youngest brother OF
John D. Rockefeller, died today. He
was not on speaking terms with his
brother, John D., as result of a
quarrel they had years ago.
Frank Rockefeller was a brother OF
John D. Rockefeller and William A.
Rockefeller, and was for many years
associated with them in the oil bust
ness, but was not as widely known as
they.
Born in Richford, N. Y, in 1845, he
was the youngest of the three Rookie
feller boys, and when his brothers or
ganized the Stapd dard Oil company, he
became identified with them, serving
for time as one of the vice presi-
dents, He acquired considerable
wealth, but his relations with his
brothers became strained and he sew
cred business connections with them.
Buys Kansas Ranch.
In 1900 he turned his attention to
stock raising, buying 10000 acres at
Belvidere, Kas., for stock farm,
which became recognized as a model
throughout the southwest. Although
he closely resembled his brothers, he
was more sturdy and little more
squarely built than they and well
squipped physically for the new work
he had undertaken. Attired like a
farm hand, he was the active boss"
of his ranch, and when fences were
to be repaired, bitches dug, or other
heavy work to be done, he did his
part. Some of the purest bred cattle
in the world were to be found on his
Kansas farm, and from there he also
directed large range interests in Texas
and Arizona.
Frank Rockefeller always mani
tested great aversion to being referred
to as John D. Rockefeller's brother"
or "the other Rockefeller"
Just Plain Stockman.
II am Frank Rockefeller, stock
man." he would say, mot Frank
Rockefeller, brother of John D." He
studiously avoided newspaper pub
licity.
Although exceedingly fond Of horse
trotting as sport, he cinhned his in
dulgence in it to his own track, on
his own place, with his own horses.
Next to my family" he once re-
marked, Il love animals more than
anything else in the world, and by
simply having fun with them, ! have
found out good many things, and
learned good many lessons that |
could never have learned otherwise" b"
One of his great desires was to pre-
vent the disappearance OF the buffalo.
He presented a great many wild
beasts and birds to the geological
gardens in Cleveland, and some to
other cities.
During hvelmonths in the year Mr..
Rockefeller lived in Cleveland, as did
his brother, John D., but they we ;
never seen together.
