WHOLESALE CLEANERS. - The
wholesale cleaners combined last
month and adopted such restrictive
measures that small cleaners will be
forced out Of business in a very short
time.
Independent concerns cannot start
in business because the association
will prevent the deliveries Of benzine,
coal, etc.
They advanced prices 100 per cent
on wholesale work without any
cause. They set the retail prices for
every garment. If a retailer takes
a garment below fixed price, the
wholesale cleaners will not accept
his work.
y I have complained to the district
attorney and have also written to
The Day Book about the unjust COM
bination Of wholesale cleaners, but
so far nothing has been dOne.-M. 7.
lNTERESTED.-In answer to your
letter from ga Young Mother" wish
to say have all respect for a young
mother in the condition mentioned.
1 am a single man, 80 years old, and
I know that if I cared for the girl I
should not bring DIP any Of her past
life, nor even mention it. I believe
that a girl of that kind has just as
good a chance as any other. I should
like to hear from this young mother.

The United States Navy offers more
opportunities to the enlisted man and
gives better pay both for active SER
vice and in retirement than any 9TH
er branch of the armed forces of the
government.
Starting at the very beginning it is
possible for young man by work
and study to have continuous and fire.
quent advancement with increase of
pay. To his base pay there is always
extra pay for special duties and with
each enlistment his pay is also in
creased. As an instance of this, a
young man enlisting in the navy re-
ceives now the following pay: Ap-
prentice Seaman $3.50 month, Sea-
men second class $3.50 a month, and
Seamen S3S.40 a month. From this
post he may become petty officer
receiving a present war pay of $41.0O
for third class, S46.50 for second class,
and $500 for first class. Rising to
a chief petty officer, his present war
pay is from s61.00 to $500, depend
ing on his class of skilled work.
The next higher grade is that Of
warrant officer which is a life posi-
tion, attainable only by promotion
from enlisted grades. The pay of
warrant officer is 81 500 to $2,4OO a
year, depending upon length of service
with benefits of retirement at "a years
of age on three quarters pay or at any
time before "a for disability incurred
in line Of duty. The warrant officers
grade is composed of Boatswains,
Gunners, Carpenters, Machinists, Sail
makers, Pharmacists and Pay Clerks.
Warrant officers have still higher
step in that they are commissioned as
Chief Warrant Officers in their var
ious grades, with rank of Ensign, af-
ter six years of service as Boatswain,
Gunner, Carpenter, Machinist, Phar-
maeist, or Pay Clerk. After six years
further service from date Of commits
sion they receive the pay and allow
ances Of q Lieutenant junior grade IN
the Navy; and after twelve years ser.
vice from date of commission they
receive the pay and allowances Of .
Lieutenant in the Navy.
The advancement which il open to
ambitious young men who enlist in
TIE Navy is not limited to the grade
of warrant officer. There are sev-
eral avenues open for promotion To-
commission; for example;

Farm Demonstration
Work i'm Sumter County

in Georgia as estimated by the Blu
/ reau of Statistics, December II. 1911,
was 1872 pounds. Thus it appears that
the demonstration methods produced
an increase of 106 per cent, or IT'S
pounds per acre above ordinary meth
DDS At valuation of 800 per hun
dred this increase amounts to 1884
per acre, or $173,346.1S on 1927 acres.
1882 corn demonstrators reported
, 5,119 acres, an average of 81 acres
, for each demonstration. They secured
an average yield of 1872 bushels of
shelled corn per acre, or total pro-
duction of 200,640 bushels. The aver
age yield of corn in Georgia in 1911
as reported by the Bureau of Stats
tics was 16 bushels per acre. This
shows an increase under demonstra-
ton methods of 145 per cent, or 23.2
bushels per acre, which at 70 cents
per bushel, shows an increased value
of $l6.24 per acre, or $83, 1926 on
