TWO GREAT MOVEMENT FOR
HANDLING STAPLES OF SOUTH

HANDLING STAPLES OF SOUTH
Atlanta, Ga, May eli. j, Brown,
commissioner of agriculture for
Georgia, today gave out a statement
strongly endorsing the two great
movements launched by the cotton
convention in the city of New Or
( leans These two movements, as
are entirely separate, and distinct
from each other, and should not be
confused. One is the corporation form
ed to handle exports of Gotten to the
foreign markets This is to be known
as the American Cotton Exports
Financing Corporation The other is
the association Of cctton producers
formed for their mutual protection

Commissioner Brown sets forth. as
The first feature OF his statement
the aims and objects OF the exports
corporation. 1t will concern itself ex-
clusively with cotton for export to
foreign markets. 1t will have capit-
al stock Of $1OO,OOO,O0O, all of which
must be owned and retained in the

elected by the convention in New Or

The directors will meet in New Or

export corporation, will be to furnish

BRITISH BIRTH RATE GROWS
More Boys Are Born In Times Of Hard
ships, Official Figures
Show.

LondOn.--More babies were born In
England during August than in any
previous month since the beginning Of
the war. Official returns show the
number to be $500, equivalent to an
annual rate of Is per 1000, and 481
more babies than in the same month
Of 1918.
Il believe that during and after wars
more boy babies are born than girls"
said Or. Mary Scharlieb, specialist,
discussing the report. 81 think official
figures will prove that more boys are
born during periods of stress, hard
ship and food shortages and more girls
during periods Of wealth, ease and
luxury"
"A baby these days is very ex-
pensive addition to the average Brit
ish family" said another doctor. "The
cost Of everything, from blankets to
perambulators has practically doubled.
Milk Is a shilling quart and nurses
three guineas week. The infants
extensive wardrobe Is also costly af-
fair these days. while his cot costs
twice as much as before the war. Only
millionaires can afford twins, much as
we need them to repair the waste OF
war"

months premiums on the amount Of In
surance to be reinstated, one covering
he month of grace during which the
Dolicy was In force, and one for the
month in which reinstatement Is made.
This Is very generous provision, and
will make 1t possible for all ex-service
men to retain their government lnsur-
again in their normal civil life. Indeed,
| look for very heavy reinstatement
and conversion as soon as the Sweet
bill passes the senate and becomes an
net and 1t Is made known to all those
who are affected.
"The bureau appreciates tremendous
lily the cooperation 1t has had from
the insurance officials and the men of
the insurance profession, and 1t Is to
be regretted that there are some few
who disregarded their moral obligation
to assist the ex-service men by encour-
laying the men to drop their govern
ment insurance and take out insurance
lin private companies. 1t Is my per
|sonal opinion that all ex-service men
lin such instances should combine In
their disapproval of such action, and
|khould in some forceful way express
their utter disgust for those who are
found guilty of such practices. Indeed.
In the years to come, feel confident
that in such cases where ex-service
men have been advised In such way as
to allow them to lose their government
insurance, that there will be at least
one man in the world whom the ex-
service men will utterly despise, and
distrust, and that will be the un-
scrupulous agent who in time Of test
was found wanting"

Meteorites Of Great Age.

Meteorites of indicated great age, are
not found in museum collections, and
1t is suggested that such specimens
may disintegrate and disappear from
the rocks within a relatively short
time after falling.
The British Museum, however, has
acquired slice weighing somewhat
less than pound from meteoric
IRON that Is believed to represent an
ancient fall, says the Newark News.
The slice Is from one Of two sinh
lar masses that were found in Jan
uary, 1905. within few miles of Daw-
son. klondike, and that. from their
position in the Oldest gravels of the
district, are thought to have rested
there since the Pliocene age.

Washington.-'Our work In conduct

Thus Colonel II. q. Cholmeley-Jones.

the motives behind the action of the
bureau In requesting congress. through
the treasury department, to enact sew
eral important amendments to the war
risk insurance act. These may be di-
vided into two general classes-those
affecting the compensation features Of
the act, and those concerning war
risk insurance.
A very important proposed amend
ment. and one which meets with wide
spread approval, is the upward revi-
sion of the schedule of compensation
payable to disabled ex-service men.
Under the present schedule a man to-
tally disabled Is entitled to $50 u

has wife but no child living he gets
$45; the amendment provides $50. II
he has wife and one child, he draws
at present, $55; the amendment gives
him $95.
Extend the Provisions.
The law now provides that IL mar
loses both hands, both feet, or the
sight Of both eyes, or becomes helpless,
and permanently bedridden, he shall
receive 500 month compensation
Experience has shown that many mel
who have lost an arm and leg, or on,
limb and the sight of one eye, are jus
as badly crippled as men who hav'
lost both feet or both hands, and 81
the bureau has recommended that IL
addition to the injuries at present en-
titling man to compensation ut tn
rate Of 500 month, the following
shall be included: The loss of one foo
and one hand the loss Of one foot an

for double total permanent disabi

The bureau has found very wild,

stallments covering short period {
time, at their option. To meet tn

The SITUATION AS
TO SHOOTING DOVES
STATE LAW PERMITS 1T IN AUG
UST WHILE 1T is PROHIBIT
ED BY FEDERAL STATUTE.

There is considerable confusion as
to the law governing the shooting OF
doves during the month of August,
because of conflict between the
Georgia law and the federal law.
The situation is this: The Georgia
law permits the shooting of these
birds during the present month, while
the federal law prohibits it and
makes it a crime to do so. For shoot
ing doves you cannot be prosecuted
under the state law, but under the
federal law you commit CRIME to
kill one of these birds and are liable
to be prosecuted in the federal court
and fined or imprisoned or both. The
state game commissioner, Mr.. Slate,
has informed the editor of The News
that he has notified county game
wardens to give the above lnforma-
ton to all who buy license and to
advise them that the license protects
them only so far as the state courts
are concerned. If they violate. the
federal statute by shooting doves
they do so at their own risk, and
with full knowledge as to what may
be the consequences.
Some sportsmen are shooting
doves under the state license, while
others are taking the precaution not
to violate the federal law and sub
iect themselves to prosecution.
