SHIP YARD MEN

INDICATIONS ARE THAT ALL OF

NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-The strike
of carpenters in Atlantic seaboard
yards engaged on government con-
tracts is over John Rice, national or
ganizer for the United Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners, said today.
Several thousand men who are still
idle this afternoon are expected to re-
turn to work tomorrow. About three
thousand returned to their work this
morning, and Rice estimated that in
many yards where the men quit this
morning they would return when in
formed that President Hutcheson, of
the brotherhood, has replied to Presi-
dent Wilson saying he would endeavor
to influence the strikers to return to
their work, pending settlement of their
grievances by the wage adjustment

FARM MACHINERY IS
BEING WIDELY USED

More farm machinery is in service
in Sumter county this year than has
ey en- been before, persons who study
conditions declare. Almost every
field one passes in driving through
the countryside, if any work being
done at all, at least a part of it is
being performed by some improved
farm implement, it is said. Keen OBJ
servers insist that this is the result
of a desire to get more results and
intelligent cultivation as we'll as to
meet the decrease in farm labor. Last
wears exodus of labor to the north
and east, followed by the draft of men
into the army, has made it necessary
for the farmer to put in machinery in
orde to get the greatest amount of re-
suits from each mule and the scant
supply of labor now available for the
farms. However, it is believed that
the change will prove of great value
to the farmers.

START CAMPAIGN
FOR FOOD SAVING
FOR SECOND TIME HOUSEWIVES
OF GEORGIA WILL BE APPEAL
ED TO IN BEHALF OF FOOD CON
SERVATION.

ATLANTA, Ga, February 1S-The
second campaign for food conservation
through voluntary cooperation by
housewives has just been launched by
the federal food administration in
Georgia
Through his headquarters here,
which are in charge of D. F. McC1atch-
ey, DR.. Soule, the food administrator
for this state, has issued a stirring
zation by rigidly observing the diet
program arranged by the Washington
authorities. DR.. Soule shows that the
task is not one involving drudgery, but
one to inspire a woman's intelligence
and pride.
Five hundred thousand food pledge
cards, renewing the promise of house
wives to aid the food administration
will be distributed from Atlanta head
quarters throughout the state, and
women will be asked to sign these
cards and observe the directions
which accompany them.
The food situation in the United
States is a great deal more serious
than the general public realizes. Sub
marines are sinking thousands of tons
Of food and other supplies Americans
have not economical as much as they
could. The whole war problem now
depends on food supply. The South
must produce a sufficient quantity of
food to feed its own people. The gov
ernment expects this much, and insists
upon it. If the situation should grow
worse, it is probable that an embargo
will be laid against the shipment of
food into the South from other sec
tions.
To launch a movement for increas-
ed food production, J. J. Brown, com
missioner of agriculture, has called a
conference in Macon or February 81,
of the Georgia State Council for Food
Production and Conservation, which
was organized year ago to serve this
purpose and did good work in 1917.
Commissioner Brown and DR.. Soule
are preparing data to be submitted to
the council when it meets

EXCITED
OVER H|RsCH CASE
HUSBAND OF WOMAN CHARGED
WITH BLACKMAILING ASA CAN
DLER, HAS ARRIvED-SHE Is A
BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb 1S-H. H.
Hirsch the husband of the woman ac-
,cused of trying to extort 100000
from Mayor Asa G. Gambler on a
blackmail threat, arrived in Atlanta
yesterday morning from Pittsburg,
where he was attending a convention
of representatives of his insurance
company when she was arrested.
Although he declined positively to
discuss the case, it was indicated by
his comments to friends who met him
at the station that he will stand by
his wife, to whom he seems to be very
devoted. He spoke feelingly of the at
fection she has always showed him and
expressed concern over the fact that
she was held in jail SO soon after a
recent operation which kept her in a
hospital for many weeks.
An attorney retained by ]. w Cook,
the man accused of conspiracy with
Mrs. Hihsch in the blackmail attempt,
has given out a statement saying the
first suggestion of money was made
by Forrest Adair, who acted as the
agent for Mayor Gambler in the nego'
tiations leading up to grand jury in
dictments against Mrs. Hirsch and
Cook The attorneys statement indi'
Gates that he will represent both Mrs.
Hirsch and Cook in the trial of the
case. He claims that Mr. Adair pro-
posed to pay Mrs I1igsch $3.50 per
month for life provided she would
write a letter to her husband telling
him she had been untrue to him and
was going away where he could never
find her, but Withholding the name of
the man in the case. The attorney
claims that Mrs. Hirsch refused to ac-
cept these conditions and then inform
ed MI Adair that if she accepted any
money at all it must be given in a
lump sum, so that her allowance could
not be cut off.
The case will probably be brought to
trial this week Mrs. Hirsch and Cook
who will be prosecuted by Reuben r.
Arnold, the famous Atlanta lawyer,
who has been retained to assist the
solicitor Of Fulton superior court.
The wife of one of Atlantas lead
ing insurance men who has several
states in his territory, and spends a
good portion of time out of the city,
Mrs. Hi,sch has taken a prominent
part in Red Cross work, club work,
patriotic movements, church activi-
ties, Sunday school work and various
other women's movements. She has
taught class in fashionable Pres
byterian Sunday school, helped to get
up a pageant last Christmas, and was
a leader in Humane Society efforts
to prevent cruelty to animals. About
35 years of age, with form like An
nette Kellerman, a. heavy suite of
walnut hair, bi gbrown eyes and lus-
cious lips, she is strikingly handsome,
and well aware how to use her
J. w. Cook, the man arrested with
her on a charge of conspiracy in the
plot, is also we'll known, but in diff
fertn circles. He is a typical barber
shop sport and loud talker, fond OF
his affairs with women,
while his regular barber gives him
the feather edge, and always dresses
in flashy clothes with conspicuous
watch fobs and scarf pins.
