DAIRYING IN THE SOUTH.

Washington, June 24.-Agricul-
tural experts engaged in develop
ment work. in the Southern States
believe that that section has great
future for dairying. .......
In order to acquaint the rest of
the country with Southern work and
possibilities along that line the Ma
tional Dairy Association has been
asked to set aside a Southern day at
its annual meeting in Chicago, Octo-
Der 6-12. It is also planned to in.
vite the Southern Cattlemen's Asso-
citation to hold it's next convention
in Charleston, Savannah or Jackson
vile. ..r
Part Of the movement to build up
the live stock industry in the South
is campaign to obtain from State
Legislatures enactments for the reg
istration and protection Of marks
and brands for cattle, and for the
improvement of the chattel mortgage
system 50 that credits will more read
lily be extended to stocmen. Flori-
da already has an up-to-date chattel
mortgage law, from the standpoint
of the banker and progressive stock
man, and it is planned to press for
similar legislation before the Georgia
Legislature this summer and the
Legislatures of North and South
Carolina in the near future.
Besides assisting in building up
the live stock industry in the South
ern States, the development activi-
ties of that section, backed by ex-
pert government advice, are working
out improvement in agriculture along
other lines, such as crop dlverslnca-
ton, crop rotation, fertilization, soil
surveys, etc. The South is already
admitted to be better organized than
the rest of the country, so far as the
system of county agents is concern
ed. This is shown by the fact that
there are approximately 1,150 white
and 1877 negro county agents in fif-
teen Southern States cooperating
with DR.. Bradford Knapp, of the
States relation service, Department
of Agriculture. This total of 1928
exceeds the 1927 county agents op-
Grating in all the Northern, Eastern
and Western States put together.

REPUBLICANS PLAN
TO SAVE REPUBLIC

New York, June 24.-Senato,
Poindexter, Republican, Washington
told the Fifteenth District Republi.
can Club here tonight that "the mis-.
sion of the Republican party in the
immediate future is to save the Re.
public from the process of national
disintegration in progress during the
present administration" .. -
Denouncing Democratic vacilla-
ton and weakness in dealing with
Mexico" Senator Poindexter said
the Republican party should elect a
president who would fulfill the re-
sponsibilities the nation had assumed
in Mexico and "reassert American
honor and self respect, so that our
citizens, lawfully in that country,
would not be forced to ransom their
lives with money"
"The suggestion now made in some
quarters" he continued, "that Great
Britain should be invited to restore
order in Mexico should be denounced
as false to our fundamental policies,
and a Republican congress could re-
store order in Mexico and adjust its
international obligations"
Senator Poindexter advocated re-
peal of the "act of the Democratic
congress and president International
izing the Panama Canal; reputation
of "the promise Of the Democratic
administration to haul down the Am
erican flag in the Philippines" re-
peal Of the extraordinary powers
vested in the president during the
emergency, and speedy reduction OF
war taxes through elimination Of
waste and efficiency and the framing
of a tariff bill to protect Industry
and maintain wages.

Units Nearly Equal.

The original plan to send all Of the
oil burning ships to the West coast
and to keep the coal burning vessels
in the Atlantic has been abandoned,
it was announced today because such
division would necessarily make the
two fleets very unequal in size and
gun power, almost all the newest and
best ships being oil burners. Under
the final division the two chief units
will be as nearly equal in number Of
ships, gun power, speed and all other
elements as possible.

PROHIBITION LAW
DRASTIC MEASURE
Possession Of Liquor Not Illegal
One.half of One Percent Defined

House.

Washington, June PA mans
right to store liquor in his home for
the long dry period after July l stood
up today against an attack on that
provision of the prohibition enforce
ment bill before the house judiciary
committee.
Near the. end of the session, the
committee voted down an amendment
which would have made it unlawful
for a citizen to have liquor in his
possession; struck out a section
which would have prevented use"
by a citizen of liquor in his private
dwelling, and decided that in the
matter of general enforcement there
would be no difference between war
time and constitutional prohibition.
Even with this and other changes
the bill as it will be reported out to-
morrow or Thursday is considered as
all embracing. So drastic are it's pro-
visions, members of the committee
said that while man may put keg
of beer in his cellar he may be con-
victed and fined if for instance he
wears a watch fob on which there is
a picture of the keg as an advertise
ment.
In a general consideration of the
measure the committee made a num-
Der of minor changes, but the princi-
pal fight was over the question of
the right of home storage for person
al use. Representative Morgan, Re-
publican, of Oklahoma, endeavored
to have stricken out the section
reading that cit shall not be unlaw-
full to possess liquor in ones private
dwelling while the same is occupied
and used by him only as his dwell

Away With Saloon.

posal for the reason, they SAID, cnat
nothing was to be gained by enacting
q law so drastic as to arouse the
hostility of people who rejoiced that
the day of the saloon had ended.
Prohibition members supported an
amendment eliminating the proviso
that the liquor must be obtained and
placed in storage prior to date the
act would become effective. AS amend
ed the section reads: "That such IL
quor need not be reported, provided
the burden Of showing that posses
sion is legal upon the possessor."
Representative Gard, Democrat, of
Ohio, led the fight to strike from the
bill the word "use" as applied to the
right of home consumption. His mo-
ton to amend also included the strk-
ing out of the words "give away, +,
l"receive" and possess but the COM
mittee insisted that these should
stand and it was said there was no
particular fight on Mr.. Gard, and as
amended the section stands:
"That no persons shall or after the
date when the 18th amendment to
the constitution of the United States
goes into effect, nor while the war
prohibition act shall be in force,
manufacture, sell, barter, give away,
transport, import, export, deliver,
furnish, receive Of possess any in
toxicating liquor except as authoriz-
ed IN this act and all the provisions
of this act shall be literally con-
strued to the end that Intoxicating
liquor as beverage may be prohibited.
Liquor for non-beverage purposes
and wine for sacramental purposes
may be purchased, sold, transported

WASHINGTON, June 22.-With only
desultory debate on the peace treaty
and its league of nations covenant eX-
pected as the result of the decision of
republican leaders not to call up the
Knox resolution, congress will start
tomorrow on a week of important leg
islatiVe action. Chief activity is. ex-

pressing appropriation bills NEEDED to
continue government operations after
the end of the present fiscal year on
June 80,
The $SSS,OO0,0N0 army appropria-
ton bill is to come up tomorrow in
the senate and will be followed by
the naval appropriation bill. The
sundry civil Appropriation measure
will be transmitted tomorrow to the
senate and Will come up for action
Immediately after the military meas
ures. Senate leaders believe, with
night sessions, that all appropriation
measures can be passed by June 80,
but with President Wilson not ex-
pected to return before the first week
in July, a hiatus of few days in
federal funds is seemed certain to re-
suit, as it is planned to hold the bills
until he arrives at the White House.
The lack of funds. democratic lead
ers declare, will be technical, not ac-
tually embarrassing TO government
activities.
Final enactment this week of the
bills to repeal the daylight saving
law and to end government control of
telegraph, telephone and other wires
is considered assured.
The house this week is scheduled to
devote itself largely to disposing of
conference reports on the appropria-

Paris, June 22.--Austran feelings
are hurt. Her delegates, weary of the
pastoral pleasures of the st. Germain
landscape, are deeply panied over the
neglectful attitude assumed toward
them by the allied statesmen. They
are beginning to wonder if the Big
Four have not forgotten all about
their poor, abused little country, as
one of the Viennese correspondents
puts it.
The flattering attention paid to the
emissaries from Turkey at the Quai
d'Orsay is a further source of cha
grin to Dr. Renner and his associates.
Why, they plead, with figura.tive
tears in their eyes, should the affairs
of the eX-Ottoman empire be taken
up while those of the far more inn
portant eX-Hapsburg empire are
passed by In silence?
In answer to those portions of the
treaty project they have been permit
ted thus far to behold the Austrans

fat volume of counter proposals. No
information is vouchsafed to them as
to when they may expect rejOinders
to any of these communications, or
when the balance of the peace teEms
is to be handed to them.
Meanwhile President Wilson has
gone to Belgium, Premier Lloyd
George is going to Verdun, Premier
Orlando is in Italy and Premier Gle
menceau is busy with the strike situa-
ton.
Austrias S troubles are by no means
confined to what she deems the sorry
treatment meted out to her delegation
here. Word has reached st. German
that fears are growing in Vienna of a
Bolshevik coup d'etat as a result of
the rioting there. The position of
DR.. Renger and his associates would
be seriously imperiled, if not alto
gether undetermined, were the insur-
gents to gain control in the Austrian
capital.
Turkish delegates, on the other
hand, cannot be gratified by the man
ner in which they have been received.
Opportunity has been afforded them
of addressing the council of ten di-

The argument by which he sought
to exculpate both the sultan and his

the Germans and then upon the COM

skilful in text and eloquent in deliv-

for the preservation of the ottoman

No Changes Permitted.

Paris June 22.-(by The Associated
Press. THE council of four has
definitely rejected the GnTmon sug-
.estion that further alterations he
made in the peace treaty.
The council received four notes
from the Germans, which are suppos-
ed to have been prepared in advance
and were held to await advices from
Weimar on the result of the meeting
of the assembly. President Wilson
went at once to the residence of Pre-
mier Lloyd George where the council
began consideration of the notes.
'One of these from the new German
government, declared Germany was
ready to sign peace if the clauses
making Germany responsible for the
war and calling for the trial of the
former emperor were eliminated.
