RECENT MARRIAGES
To Be SCRUTINzED

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 5.-All local
boards in Georgia were notified Sat-
urday by Major Joel B. Mallet, officer
Ger in charge of the .selective service
law that the regulations requiring
that marriage since May IS. 1917, be
scrutinized carefully was not intend
ed to raise in the presumption that
Gate was for the primary purpose OF
evading the military service.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
has telegraphed Major Mallet in this
connection as follows:
THAT rule was intended to author
iZe the boards to disregard the rela.
tionsship cretaed by clearly estab-
lished Stacker marriages. as a condi
ton of dependency. but each case
must be carefully examined on its
own merits. No general rule can be
land down, but it may be stated that
marriage carries no equivocal cir
cumstanee other than its date and ie
not TO be so disregarded.'

All right, what else does he know

Did you ever hear of the Cleveland
Trust Company 1t is one of the ma
tons greatest financial institutions
today with fifteen or more branches,
and fifty millions of dollars on deposit
subject to check, and one hundred
and twenty million held as trust funds.
Pretty big concern! That is DR.. Gar
fields concern. He started in little
office in Cleveland, 20x30 feet in size,
to be exact, and today it occupies its
own buildings in several cities, and
employs its help by the hundreds.
It takes more than Long-haired,

lish that. All honor to school teachers!
All honor to college and university
professorsi President Wilson was
one and he is getting along pretty
famously with a mans job on his
shoulders. A college-bred man can be
a great mana college professor can
be a practical man And DIR. Garfield
is a living example. He is one of the
most thorough business men in the
country, quiet, methodieal, analytical,
open to suggestions, and invitor of
criticisms for the good they may con-
yey. affable, democratic, thoroughly
sincere, deeply in earnest, striving
hard to do the best thing at a critical

What Garfield KNOWS

What does Dr. Garfield know about
coal? The fact that has been coal
miner for years; and when he came
to the capitol to take up the duties
of fuel administrator he resigned as
director of one of the largest coal
producing companies in the middle
west, the Jefferson Coal company, Of
Ohio. Not only was he director Of that
company, but he was managing direct
or, and it was through his management
that the properties owned by the
corporation were developed, and the
mines placed upon an adequate trans
portation basis by the construction of
approximately thirty miles of rail- this
putting his mines on a paying com
petitive line basis. Then we concede
that he knows something about coal,
the producing of coal, and the trans
porting of coal from the mines Of
the trunks lines.

JONEsBORO MILLER IN
BAD WITH FOOD LAWS

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 5.-The first
action of the state food adm1nistra-
ton has found it necessary to take
vigorous action looking to the en-
fcrcement of the rules and regulations
OF the administration. Major d. +.
cClatcney, executive secretary OF
the stated administration, has cited
). p. Davenport, miller OF Jones'
boro. to appear today and show cause
why he should not be subject to the
penalty of the law for such violation.
There are two charges against Mr..
Davenport.
One is making statements which
would tend to unjustly to enchance the
price of food commodity. Mr.. na-
venport is alleged to have stated that
the prices quoted b. the food admin.
ii tration for corn meal are too low,
the food administration taking the
position that the purpose of Mr.. Ds-
venport is bull the market for the
benefit of hins sales to dealers in the
Atlanta territory.
The other charge is that of doing
a wholesale business without Ii
cense.
The penalty for violation Of the
federal food administration regula-
tons is a $4,000 fine.

WASHINGTON, February 5.-"Who
il DR.. Garfield? College Professor
What does he know about coal?'
why should a 'high-brow' tell us
when we Shall and when we shall not
use fuel Why should little Ohio
pedagogue have such a sweeping au-
thority?" And soon. You hear il IN
the Hobbies, on the street cars, in the
capitol corridors, in the galleries, on

nations legislators No man in pub
lie life today, barring Woodrow Will
son, Kaiser Bill, and possibly Newton
Baker, is so much in the hmelight.
He's got Hoover backed off the boards.
Who's Garfeld?" That's the question
Those who are familiar enough with
United States history to know that
James A. Garfield once president OF
the United States, was assassinated
in the Pennsylvania depot here one
bright morning in the SOS by a crazy
anarchist named Guiteau, think per-
haps that this fuel administrator may
be his son or nephew or something
of the kind, and very few of those
indeed know the truth. Very know
that DR.. Garfield, the fuel admins
traitor, spent many of the happy days
of his young manhood in the white
house while his father presided over
the deetinies of the nation at the be-
ginning Of that unison of sections that
made the Stars and Stripes the one
and only one flag OF great and
free people Few care! Now listen!

BRITISH AND TURKS
MAKE BIC EXCHANGE

BERNE, Switzerland, eb. Brit
ish and Turkish delegates, who have
been comforting here for some time
in regard to a proposed exchange of
prisoners, have closed their negotia-
tons after reaching what the British
delegates describe as satisfactory
arrangement"
The negotiations provide not only
for the exchange of prisoners, but
lso for a complete inspection of
Lrison camps Turkey now has about
10000 British prisoners, mostly In
dams, while Great Britain has $4,000
Turks. It is expected that the agree
nent will be Immediately ratified and
within few weeks the first exchange
will be made on Swiss soil, 1000
British invalid prisoners being exchang
ed for 1900 Turks. After this ex-
change there will be an examination
of all prisoners under a low schedule
of disability by mixed commission
of Turkish and British doctors, this
arrangement doing away with the de-
lay incident to the employment Of
neutral doctors.
The negotiations with the Turks
proved far more satisfactory than the
British delegates had expected The
discussions were conducted in con-
ciliatory spirit by both sides. A num-
Der of supplementary agreements
were reached regarding treatment of
prisoners hereafter.

WEEVILS ARE Z
GIVEN COLD AIR TEST

VALD0STA Ca, Feb. 5.-Much
anxiety is shown in the probable fate
of 1000 boil weevils kept in the
wire cages at the state sea island
cotton experiment farm here Su-
perintendent G. H. Gaddis says he
cannot tell yet if the pets have es-
capped the ravages of the unusual
cold weather and only warm weather
will tell the story.
In the fall the 1900 weevils we're
installed in their wire screened cages
where they could hibernate through
the winter and be ready in the spring
and summer for use in the scientific
experiment work of the station. This
is done every year in order that the
stalled pests can be used whenever
wanted. Ordinarily there are plenty
Of them, but to have them Gagged al
ways assures the superintendent of a
supply when they are needed for ex-
perimental work
Mr.. Gaddis says he is sure that the
cold weather has destroyed at least
part of his colony and he is anxious
for enough warm weather to get them
to stirring and see just what their
capacity is for standing sure enough
