ASKS U. S. PENSIONS
FOR FORMER SLAVES
Bradford Resolution Also Petitions
Federal Government to Take Over
Confederate Pensions.

Atlanta, Aug. 5.-That the federal
government should pay fair and just
pension to each negro man and wo-
man born and reared in slavery, and
now too old to work, who, because
of emancipation, lost the protection
given them by their wners, as we'll
as take over the pension system Of
the various Southern states and far
-nish hereafter the money needed to
pay Confederate veterans and their
widows is.the belief of representative
Bradford of Whitfield county, express
ed in resolutions introduced in the
House today.
The resolutions in the main bear
out the action taken by the COnfed-
crate veterans reunion at Dawson
earlier this year. They say, among
other things, that the Southern states
lost, by reason of the war between
the states, $4,0O0,00O,0OO in freed
slaves, $25,000,OOO as proceeds of cap
tured and abandoned property, and
sos, 100000 in cotton taxes imposed by
the government The resolutions
were referred to the committee on
pensions.

live STOCK DEMAND
HEAVY IN GEORGIA
SHORTAGE is REPORTED DESPITE
LARGE SALES OF ANIMALS BY
GOVERNMENT INCREASE IN
PRICE WILL CONTINUE.

Atlanta August atlanta bids
fair to lead the world in handling
horses and mules. One hundred thou
sand mules and horses annually pass
through the hands of dealers here.
Now that the government has sold
practically all the horses and mules
used in army camps and environments
and on construction work, it would
seem that supply would exceed de
mand, but such is not the case
Even the advent of the automobile
and modern farm machinery has not
lessened the demand for working
animals. 1t fact, the price of horses
and mules has taken a jump, along
with everything else, and according
to Atlanta live stock men, will con-
tinue to increase in price.
There is a shortage of working ami
mails, especially young mules.
The bumper cotton crop and the
high price of cotton is said to be
partly the cause of the soaring price
of horses and mules, as they are used
exclusively in making cotton.
Atlanta live stock dealers handled
more than rs per cent of the live stock
sold by the United States government
from the environments of the southeast,
and supplied these army and construc
ton camps with practically all horses
and mules used during the war.
Besides horses and mules, Atlanta
handles immense shipments of other
live stock, such as cattle and hogs.
Dealers here are constantly at work
promoting the live stock industry in
all parts of the state. The mo Fence"

TACOMA IS SEEKING
 NAME FOR MOUNTAIN
(Kansas City Star.l


 Tacoma, Wash, still is seeking a name for it's mountain. Of course, it isn't Tacoma's mountain alone. All the rest of Washington asserts claim to it, and the United States as a whole takes some interest in it's highest peak. Put, lying in the shadow of the great cliffs, Tacoma long has assumed a proprietary air.
 The search for a name is many years old now, but Tacoma never has given up hope Its neighbor, Seattle, has been content to call the mountain Rainer, the name given it by it's dis coverer, Captain Vancouver. But Ta- coma objects to this, as it makes of an American mountain memorial to a British admiral of the Revolution. A few years ago the Mount Tacoma Club" asked the National Geographic Board 10 change the name to any good i old Indian title, but the board could not

Saving Brake Bands
By OTTO KRANK

You can save lot of wear on brake bands if in a hilly region by breaking against the engine,
 Just throw the gears in to low, close the throttle and shut off the ignition. The action is just the re- verse of driving the car. The gears which make the work of the engine easier in driving now are driven by the rear wheels and meet the resistance of the motor The result is to ease you down the hill in a manner to make the foot brake often unnecessary.
 You'll find the necessity for using the brakes but slight when you do this.
