cooking and baking purposes and for making candy it is not only equal to sugar in convenience and food value but is superior for some uses because it will not so readily crystalline.
 Malt sugar-sirup is now being sold in large quantities to commercialbak- cries and candy and soft-drink manu- lecturers, who use it in place of sugar. The wholesale price as quoted in recent advertisements in trade pap CTS and elsewhere is from to 9 cents per pound in barrel lots. Many re- tail grocers do not handle it yet be- cause there has been little demand for it on the part of housewives. Grocers can now obtain it and no doubt will be glad to do so as the de- mand for it increases. Housewives can we'll conserve their dwindling sup ply of sugar by using it in cooking, baking, and homemade confections, and even on the table for sweetening coffee, oatmeal and desserts. It can be used for every purpose for which sugar is used. If the housewives want it, the grocers will get it.
 Although malt sugar. sirup is being called upon. so far as household use is concerned, merely as pinch hitter in the present emergency, the special ists expect that it will make such a batting average that it will hereafter have regular place in the batting or der. This is a case where the sub stitute makes so good that the regular, whose place it takes, may have to warm the bench. While it is not like ly that this new sweet will replace sugar for table use in normal times it undoubtedly will make a place for itself in the household as it is doing in the manufacture of food products

REAL SUGAR SUBSTITUTE
 HAS SANCTION OF COvT

Malt syrup is a brand-new sweet which has arrived on a commercial scale at the physiological moment to relieve the sugar shortage, say the specialists of the Bureau of Chemis- try, United States Department of Az riculture, who have investigated var ious substitutes for sugar. In addi- tion to being sweet, malt sugar syrup has delicious flavor, somewhat resembling that of honey, which adds much to it's palatibility and value as sugar substitute.
 While malt sugar has long been known to chemists, it's production on commercial scale is only beginning. Two factors have stimulated it's pro- duction recently. The shortage of sugar has developed a market for it, and the recent prohibition law has made available both the raw material and the machinery needed for its man. ufacture. Malt sugar sirup is made from the same grains as beer, and may be made from corn or potatoes or ohy pieth' SohedihiuS otdtCu. DdIleN, which was used until recently in the manufacture of beer, can be used now to produce malt sugar sirup.
 Breweries, with very little change, can be used and are now being used for its manufacture. Up to a certain point the process for making malt sugar sirup is the same as the process for making beer. Evaporating pans is the principal additional equipment required by breweries to become malt sugar siru pfactories.
 Malt sugar sirup looks very much like maple sirup. It can be used for everything that cane sugar is used for. While it's use on the table may not be quite as convenient as sugar, it is a most excellent substitute for table use when sugar is not to be had, as it not only provides sweetness but is equal to sugar in food value.

ENLISTED MEN
AT S0UTHER TO
BE- TRAINED FOR
AERIAL PILOTS
Colonel DiCkman Authorized to Give
Flying instruction Some to
Get Commissions

Lieut.. Col F. T. Dickman, command
ing officer at Souther Field, has been
authorized to give enlisted men flying
instruction
The result of examinations, after the
men take the several courses at the
field will determine the line upon
which they may take the flying in
struction to become aerial pilots, non
commissioned officers or commissioned
officers.
This is a splendid opportunity for
enlisted men to perfect themselves in
aeronautics and will be taken advant-
age of by many of the two hundred
enlisted men now at the field.
The administrative staff at Souther
Field are losing no opportunities to
make the flying school a real school
with such recreation as baseball, foot
ball and other games to maintain the
good health of the men.
The opportunities of the enlisted men
to take school instruction in the va
rious branches pertaining to the air
service and the privilege to become
flyers either as non commissioned or
commissioned officers, according to
their merit and devotion to their stud
les is a movement appreciated by the
entire number of men remaining in
the service,
A number of the best flying officers
and instructors are still at the field
devoting all their time to the work as
signed them.
Instead of being in winter quarters
there is every reason to believe that
Souther is fast approaching the sum-
mer of activity.

Bad Roads Prevent
Bankers Meeting

The meeting of the bankers of the
Third congressional district, which
had been called for 10 o'clock this
morning in Americus to consider the
cotton crisis, did not take place. AL
though some twenty bankers had sent
acceptances to the invitation of the To-
cal chamber of commerce, stating that
they would be on hand, not single
man arrived from outside the city, and
no word was received from any but W.
T. Lanier, of West Point, president of
the Georgia Bankers association, who
wired that at the last minute it had
been found impossible for him to be
here.
Advance information had been that
all of the bankers who had expected to
come to Americus planned to make
the trip by automobile, and the rain,
which was general today over Georgia,
producing bad roads, explained why

Missing Auto Found
Near Souther Field

The gypsies did not get Mrs. D.
Pearlmans new Buick automobile
which disappeared from in front of her
house on South Jackson street, We'd
nesday night. Or, if they did, they
abandoned it, in good condition, not
far from the entrance to Souther Field
The car was found beside the road
near the aviation camp yesterday by
George Ball, of the Americus Bakery
company, who was bound for the camp
with truck on a business mission
He had ridden in the Pearlman car, he
said today, and recognized it from a
distance He notified Mrs. Pearlman
as soon as he could get in reach of a
telephone, and it was brought to the
city, little the worse for its experience
in unknown hands. Mrs. Pearlman of
fered Mr. Ball the $50 reward which
she had advertised she would pay, but
he declined to accept it.
1t is assumed that a party of tired
soldiers who had been in the city that
night decided there would be no harm
in using the car to ride to the camp
and leave it for the owner to find in the
best way that might be devised.

STATES SOLIDLY
FOR REDUCTION.
SAYS DELEGATE

81 have been connected with every
farmers movement since | was old
enough-for / have never done any
thing but farm. have seen farmers
try to organize before But mark my
word: This cotton holding and acre
age reduction movement is going over
big"
These were the words of R. P Stack
house shortly after his arrival home
this afternoon from New Orleans,
where he went as one of Sumter coun-
tvs two representatives at the cotton
states conference called by Governor
Pleasant of Louisiana John Council,
the other Sumter delegate, who was
also a delegate representing the Third
Congressional district, returned with
MIR. Stackhouse. The meeting was held
Monday and Tuesday OF this week.
1T was a most successful and en-
thusiastic meeting" said Mr.. Stack
house Every cotton growing state
in the union, including California, was
represented, and every action taken
was unanimous. You can say that the
cotton acreage will be reduced this
year because the farmers are awake
as never before. The sentiment was
unanimous. Every state is in line.
Only three delegates were present
from Georgia, but many of the states
had big delegations.
Some apprehension has been ex-
pressed in various quarters as to
what Texas and Oklahoma are going
to do. Texas had a big delegation pres
ent, and Texas is going to reduce one
third. Oklahoma had only one man at
the meeting, but he reported that his
state is behind the movement and can
be depended upon to cut a third. Every
state has fallen right in.
"The matter of establishing a cotton
growers spot exchange was brought
up and discussed, but it was consider
ed unwise to bring it into the move
ment at this time, it being the opinion
of all the best think to do now was
to concentrate on the holding and acre
age reduction movement, which is
aimed to solve an emergency, and take
up the marketing problem after the
emergency has passed.
"a permanent cotton states organi-
cation will result from this meeting.
Adjournment was taken subject to call
by the chairman, and after the present
crisis has passed steps will be taken
to organize a marketing agency for
the farmer.
II feel that the cotton acreage is
sure to be cut at least third over the
whole cotton growing section. And
when it is,. onF problem is solved"

Atlanta May BaIk Strike.

ATLANTA, Feb. 20.-Prospects of a
settlement of the threatened general
strike in the building trades of At
lanta grew brighter today as the re-
suit of conferences held by Mayor
James L. Key with electrical contrac-
tors and union electricians.
ID is the difference between these
groups that has threatened general
building trades strike. The contract
of the union electricians having expir-
ed, they demand a new contract pro-
viding for the closed shop. This the
electrical contractors have refused to
concede. They are willing to employ
union electricians but are not willing
to bind themselves to employ no nom
union electricians. The other building
contractors of the city have threaten
ed to give no sub-contracts to the elee-
trical contractors, if they agree to the
closed shop.
Conferences have been in progress
several days between the mayor and
representatives of both sides of the
controversy as well as an agent sent
here by the Cancellation division of the
Y. s. Department of Labor. The
mayor is, hopeful that general strike
may be averted.
