PLENTY. OF WOOD PULP is
TO BE FOUND IN GEORGIA

Triton, Jan. 19.-It is the opinion
of H. j. Earnest, of Chicago, who who
is spending few days in Triton on
business that south Georgia has sup
ply of wood pulp sufficient to meet the
needs of the paper manufacturers of
America for many years.
Earnest is one Of the owners OF the
Dixie Pecan campony, the biggest or
ganization of it's kind in the south,
and with his associates owns one of
the largest paper pulp manufacturing
concerns in the world. The plant has
only been in operation about ninety
days and they have process which
Earnest thinks is, calculated to reyo-
lutionize the paper pulp manufacture
ing industry. e
It is his opinion that the Georgia
yellow pine affords a material for pa
per making vastly superior to spruce
and fir. From cord of wood ST worth
of turpentine, creDsote and rosin can
be obtained and the pulp is sold for
500 a ton.
Earnest holds. the opinion that there
will be no trouble to secure all the
capital needed to establish pulp man.
ufacturing plants throughout south
Georgia if the people want them and
will supply the material. Local par
ties already are interesting them

UNABLE TO SAVE,
WOMEN START RIOT

Philadelphia, Pa, March 8. -1nabil-
ity of the protesters to make their
usual bank deposits. due to high prices
Of food. and not scarcity Of eatables,
was the cause of the recent food dis
turbances in the downtown section of
the city, according to testimony given
yesterday at the initial meeting of the
investigating committee Of Mayor
Smiths food commission. The COM
mission was appointed to enquire into
the high cost of living and to recon-
mend methods Of reducing the price Of
food products. The investigators said
the down town housewives. many OF
foreign extraction. were aroused when
increasing prices prevented them from
saving any money and in some in.
stances compelled them to draw on re-
serve funds.
The committee determined to ap-
proach the food situation from six
angles. 1t will investigate wages paid
in the past year. the increase in price
of food stuffs, seek appropriate loca-
tions for the proposed city markets,
study comparative food values. inves-
tigate sources Of food supply. and at
tempt to determine If food handling
facilities are adequate.

JOHNSTON
BILL IS DOOMED
Majority of the Senate Is
Lined Up to Oppose It
at the Final Vote

Des Moines, March s. Admission
OF possibility of defeat for the Pitt
Johnston road bill, abolishing the state
highway commission. was made for the
first time today by several proponents
of the measure. Evidence of ne"
alignment in the legislature on the
question of road legislation was cons1d-
cred the most important development
in the legislative situation following
the recess which ended with the re-
converting of both bodies yesterday.
1t was asserted today that enemies
of the administration bill, who had
been expected to spend the recess
proselyting among house members In
an effort to swing support to the Ell
wood amendment which would retain
the commission had devoted the recess
to missionary work" or the senate
side, with the result that majority
of the upper house are now opposed to
the bill Careful check made by sup
porters of the Elwood measure TO-DAY
were said to show that less than thirty
members of the senate favor the ad-
ministration bill. Forty-eight votes
are necessary for passage.
It was thought that no further effort
will be made to prevent passage OF the
Pitt-Johnston bill in the house, where
it is thought the measure will be given
a small majority. The plan OF cam
paign, it was stated, will be to hold the
senate in line to kill the bill when 1t
comes up there.

churia Of the Atlantic Transport line
will sail for London today unarrned.
The Manchuria Is the first vessel un-
der the American flag to load mails for
a prohibited port since the American
line cancelled sailings on February Z.
The crew struck yesterday for rs
per cent war bonus. The company had
already granted so per cent and declin-
ed to give any more on the ground that
a further increase would be unfair to
the men who had sailed two weeks ago
on the Mongolia, satisfied with so per
cent bonus. Officers Of the company
said they expected the men would
come to terms or they could get new
crew in time to send the vessel out
before sunset.
The French liner Rochambeau reach
ed here this morning from Bordeaux
and the White Star liner Baltic from
Liverpool with passengers and mails
got In last night. The Baltic left Liv-
erpool February %, but remained an
chored in the River Mersey for three
and a half days while destroyers and
patrol boats searched the Irish sea for
submarines and mines.
The Adriatic from Liverpool Is ex-
pected to arrive late Saturday or Sun
day morning. A wireless message re-
ceived by the White Star line said that
all was well with the liner.

BOOSTING PRICES

Chicago. March S.-Operators OF
coal mines are asking greatly ad-

Of their biggest customers. including
the railroads, it was stated today. In
instances the price at the pit mouth
is 100 per cent more than a year ago.
None of the advances so far reported
run under fifty per cent.
There is no shortage of coal at the
mines. II is said, and experts estimate
that the new underground supply
is sufficient to last the country $500
wears. The car shortage, however, has
adversely affected production during
the last year.
