tions from Mr.. Stanley to furnish him
at once a statement of the needs OF all

Third congressional district in the
the territory served by the office here

The order is taken to mean prepare
tions at once to put the fertilizer fac
tories, and other industries which turn
out fertilizer products of whatever
kind, on full capacity in the anticipa-
ton of a great demand, the coming
season for fertilizer throughout the
nation. The south has been called up
on to do its share in further intensity
ing cultivation to Increase the food
stocks of the nation so that starving
Europe may be fed without ourselves
going hungry. Because of the world
demand a continued high price for all
food stuffs is assured, it is said, and
the farmers are preparing to grow

WOULD GUARD STATUES
Paris Protests Against Neglect Of
Art Treasures.
Allowed to Stand Exposed 70 Air Raid.
ers-Promise Of Aid
Falls.

Paris.-Protest has arisen In many
quarters here against the deliberate
neglect of many of the priceless stat
ues and works of art In Paris, which
have been permitted to stand unprO-
tected against possible damage from
enemy air raids and bombardments.
The special commission charged with
the duty Of providing protection for
public monuments of art has been Sc
verely criticized.
Last year when the danger of air
raids seemed comparatively remote a
dozen or more monuments and statues
were ordered to be protected with sand
bags. Some time afterward loaded"
sacks were placed at . distance from
the monuments or statues waiting to
be put In place. There they were al
lowed to remain, nothing further be-
ing done. The bags lay about the
statues for weeks.
In the meanwhile there were several
air raids. Fortunately no monument
or statue was hit. On the initiative
of q group of citizens work on the pro-
lection Of some of the masterpieces
was begun, and many historic pieces
like the VendOme Column, the Obelisk,
the Strassbourg Monument and the art
works in the Luxembourg gardens
were given some adequate protection.
Street urchins anxious to play 'in
the trenches" climbed up among the
bags, causing a loose one to slip, with
the result that thousands Of bags fell
in an avalanche about many of the
statues. II was thereupon found that
the bags were filed with stones or
clinkers.
Art lovers protested and called the
attention of the commission TO the
fact that stones and clinkers afforded
no protection against German bombs.
The Paris municipal council is now
taking measures to remedy the present
condition and promises that every valu-
| able piece of statuary and historical
art will be reasonably protected.

RED MEN WILL SAVE FOOD

want their Squaws to have q 'food

Administrator Hoover appoint ma
tron to explain to the sQuaws how to

BAN ON POPULARITY
CONTESTSKNOCKED OUT

ATLANTA, Nov. 20.-The Georgia
Supreme court, in an opinion just
handed down, holds that all forms of
advertising are games of chance. The
decision is in a case contesting the
recent Georgia law making it illegal
Tor popularity contests to be condnct-
Cd by newspapers, theaters, merchants
and others, and the court holds that
the law is unconstitutional, in that it
specifically sought to make certain il
legal exemptions.
The bill, passed in 1915 provides
that no newspaper, theater or mer-
chant, or any other, may run popu-
4arity contest in which prizes are Of
fered, but specifically exempts week
" newspapers not connected with a
daily, and having a circulation of not
more than 1000. The Supreme court
hc'Gs that this exemption is in direct
conflict with the equal protection
clause OF the constitution and the act,
as a whole, therefore, is null and
void.
