South Carolina senators Win Fight
for Aid Of Farmers

Washington, Aug. S.-Senator Smith
OF South Carolina, who appeared last
week with Senator Frelinhysen of
i New Jersey and a delegation of farm
ers before the WAR trade board to urge
the lifting of the embargo against i'm
ports of potash from enemy countries.
was informed by the board today that
from this dates such imports might be
freely made from every source except
Hungary and such parts Of Russia as
remain under Bolshevik control.
Retention Of the embargo until Oc-
tober was demanded by producers OF
trona potash and other American pot
ash interests, their expectation being
that by that date congress would have
provided prote :tive tariff and that
their own production would be equal
to domestic. demands. Farmers op-
posed this policy on the ground that
some Of the American potash had
wrought damage TO crops. William
BaAks of the South Carolina depart
ment of agriculture exhibited photo
graphsataken in the Pee Dee region OF
his State, showing many instances Of
such damage. Heretofore potash could
be imported only under certificate of
non-enemy origin. The board has al

embargo on sugar and on wheat and

In keeping with the extreme care exercised by the producers ot Nlf-

 ",The story, directed by Ralph lnce, has several distinct types of char actcrs not found in the average screen production. In order to as- sure perfection in selecting these types, practically every available player in the business was interview ed. Probably the most imposing ar ray of names ever gathered together in one production appear in support of Lincoln. Grace Darling, selected for the ingenue lead, is information ally famous as screen beauty. Clara Joel, who appears in the lead
 ing feminint heavy role, is conceded to be real star of the legitimate stage. She has been seen more re- gently as the baby vamp' in the Broadway success, Business Be- fore Pleasure, and was featured in Within the Law William B.

To Test Validity
 of Sessions Acts

Little Rock, Oct. 4.-With mem- bers of the late general assembly barely home after the extra special session of the legislature at which a couple of hundred or more laws were enacted creating new road improve ment districts and school districts, and amending others, bills are being pre- pared in all sections of the state seek ing to test in the courts the validity of the new laws.
 Over in DeVall's Bluff, bill was scheduled to have been filed in chan eery court attacking the validity of a law enacted at the special session ere ating a new road district in Prairie county.
 In Mountain Home another bill was to have been filed attacking the validity of House bill No IA, amend ing a law passed at the regular 1919 session creating a special road inn pavement district in Baxter county.
 In all the complaints being prepar- ed and which have been prepared the laws are being attacked mainly on the ground that the constitutional re- qulrement of publication for 30 days for local laws had not been complied with, the call for the special session having been made else than 30 days prior to the time the general assem- biy met.

BRITISH NEEDED
.UNDERSEA BOATS
Jellico Exposes Weakness
of Fleet During War;
Clears Kitchener S Death.

London. Feb. 12.-Admiral Wis
count Jellico's book on the naval
operations Of the war which was
published today, settles at last the
mystery of Lord Kitchener's death
by stating that the cruiser Hamp-
shire. sank after striking a moored
mine of the type laid by German
U-boats.
One of several sensational state
ments in the book of the former
commander of the British Grand
Fleet is that throughout the war
the British fleet was perilously
short of destroyers to screen the
major fighting ships. The Germans,
he shows, were much better off in
submarines than the British.
Niscount Jellico expressed the be-
lief that the Germans lost several
chances. They could have made dis
concerting raids on troop transports
and might have reduced the British
Grand Fleet greatly by plunging
into the British northern naval
bases, he says. and might have raid
ed the British coasts by bold dashes.
A carefully laid trap, including mine
fields and submarines and with tho
German high seas fleet as a bait.
might have been effective in inflict-
ing severe losses on the British, ac-
cording to the author.

HENEY PREDICTS
FOOD MONOPOLY
All Products Will Be Con-
trolled Unless Govern
ment Acts, He Says.

There is going to be mono
polization of the entire food in
dustry of the United States in ten
years. l think it will be in FIVE. If
something radical is not done"
This statement was made yester-
day by Francis J. Heney, former
counsel for the Federal Trade Com
mission, before the House Interstate
Commerce Committee. Mr.. Heney
was discussing increasing control of
the big five" packers over the fer
tilizer, feed. cheese, butter and oleo-
margarine industries, 'in addition
to meat and other food industries.
For Government Ownership.
As solution for the meat
problem, and in it's wake the food
problems, Mr.. Heney suggested gov
ernment ownership and operation
of the stockyards and refrigerator
cars, and establishment by the gov
ernment of cold storage plants, to
which all meats in interstate COM
merce must be sent. 1t would do no
good, he asserted, to turn the stock
yards and refrigerator cars over to
the railroads, for correspondence
taken from the files OF the big five"
packers showed that the latter had
been able to coerce the railroad
companies by their immense volume
of freight.
Mr.. Heney appeared before the
committee to defend methods en-
pIoyed by him in conducting the
Federal Trade Commission investi-
CATION of the packing industry.
Charges as to unfairness of methods
were made before the House Com
mittee and also the Senate Agricul-
ture Committee by packers.

Figure Does Not Include
Army Camps; Greater
Than War Losses.

Spanish "fiu" has caused more
deaths in this country during the
last four months than Americas
losses by death in nineteen months
or war. That was revealed by hg-
ures made public here yesterday
showing the extent of the scourEe
and its companion disease, pneu-
monia, in this country.
The figures, compiled by the Pub
lie Health Service, disclosed that in
rorty-six cities of this country alone
there were 1852 deaths, from
September to January. These fig
ures do not take into consideration
any OF the army camps, or rural
sections OF the country, nor any Of the
smaller towns or cities. 1t is esti-
mated that a complete census of the
fiu's ravages in the United states
would disclose between 100000 and
800, 900 deaths in the September
