GAS matters now srand," said Mr..
Petty, "a small farmer may have 20
or 30 acres of velvet beans with his
corn which may rot and waste because
he lacks carload of good steers to
turn into the field, and unless he has
plenty of property he cannot borrow
money from the banks with which to
buy the steers because the present
law does not protect the loan, and for
the same reason he cannot secure a
loan from a live stock loan company
in any other state.
"The Seaman bills simply provide
the same protection for cattle paper
in Georgia that exists in the cattle
states of the west. They will help
the average farmer and will increase
the production of feed crops, while I'M
der existing law only the wealthy man
can engage in cattle feeding"
The Seaman live stock loan bill
which was defeated in the house on
Monday was placed back on the cal
endar by a majority vote to recon-
slider on Tuesday after Representative
Seaman had made certain technical
changes to meet objections raised by
it's opponents. This bill together with
the marks and brands bill have been
introduced in the senate by Senator
Bowden of the Fifth and Senator En-
mis- of the Twentieth.

AMERICAN WOOL MILL HAVE

All But Three Factories of Company S
Big Chain Through New England
and New York Affected.

BOSTON.-Many mills of the
American Wooden Company through
out New England and in New York
state suspended activities indefinitely
today in the first great reaction from
the wartime rush which has fallen
upon American industry.
More than 10000 workers are
thrown into idleness and the exodus
of mill operatives from the teXthe e
centers has already begun in a great
tide. Hundreds of employees of mills
in Lawrence. including whole families,
have left the city during the last few
weeks, as work slackened. The clos
ing of the mills was a signal for thou
sands more to leave.
Only three of the American Wooden
Company's mills escape the general
shutdown. These will close early in
August.

The Most Welcome ire
That Ever Came to Market
Men Who APPRECIATE uperIaiue Values Prefer The Brunswick

In every great tire factory, the
chief question is: How much can
we give for the money" And the
product depends on the policy
adopted.
Every man who has become ac-
quainted with Brunswick Tires
knows that Brunswick standards
are again evident. This famous con-
Germ noted as a leader in every
line it entered since 1845-has once
more proved that its policy is right.
"A perfect tire is simply matter
of knowledge and standards and
skill. No secrets nor patents pre-
vent making ali ideal tire.
But standards come first. For in
tire making there is vast room for
skirnping, for subtle economies, tor
hidden shortcomings. Makers with
out the highest standards don't
build high-grade tires.
The Brunswick organization OF
tire makers includes brilliant staff
of technical experts. Not a man

among them has spent less than
20 years in handling rubber.
Each is master of his craft.
And the new ideas they bring to
the attention of Brunswick direc-
tors receive sincere consideration.
Every proved betterment is
adopted unanimously.
The Brunswick Tire is con1bi-
nation of acknowledged features
plus Brunswick standards OF manu-
facture.
The result is super-tire, che like
of which you have never known be-
fore. The kind of a tire you will
gladly join in welcoming.
Yet Brunswicks cost no more
than like-type tires.
Try ONE Brunswick. We prom
Use surprise. And we feel certain
that you will want ALL Bruins
wicks.
Then good tires win have a new
meaning to you.

Install DR.. Cook Next Month

Announcement was made last Satur-
day that Rev. DR.. Philip Cook, bishop
elect of the Protestant Episcopal Dio-
cese of Delaware. will be consecrated
in his new. Office next month in the
Church of st. Michael's and All Angels,
Baltimore, Md, of which he is rector.
The delay in the conservation exercises
Is due to the fact that the majority of
the Bishops of the Episcopal Church of
America have been abroad or on their
vacations at home. Under the laws of
the church the election of a bishops
must be confirmed by a majority of the
one hundred bishops, and so far, owing
to the absence of these churchmen,
only Is bishops have confirmed the
election of DR.. Cook to the Bishopric
of Delaware to succeed the Rev. F. j.
Kinsman resigned. DR.. Kinsman is to
become professor in the Catholic Uni.
versity at Washington.

Dear father. thou hast left US,
Gone to the home above,
Out of world Of darkness
Into the light of love.
Rugged the path assigned thee,
Here upon earth's green sod;
Thorny and rough to travel,
Ending in peace of God.
But thou art not forgotten,
Nor wilt thou ever be,
As long as life shall last US.
We will remember thee.

The {. & D. CANAL
Has a Depth Of len Feet Through
out Its Length
OLD LOCKS TO Be ELIMINATED

The gratifying information has beer
placed in the hands of shippers that the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal is now
10 feet deep throughout its entire
length.
The deepening of the old waterway
has been brought about largely through
the efforts and energy Of Colonel j. P.
Jervey, United States Engineer in
charge Of the improvements to the
canal. Colonel Jervey has been retired
from the Feoeral Engineers Service at
his own request to accept the position
Of City Manager Of Portsmouth His
new connection will bring no abatement
in his interest in the projected deepen
ing and widening of the canal, as he in
formed Gen. Felix Agnus OF Baltimore,
during last week.
Knowing the important part PLAYED
by General Agnus in the acquisition of
the canal by the federal government
and its development into ship canal to
connect the Chesapeake and Delaware
Bays, Colonel Jervey called to tell of
the progress of the plans for q ship
canal, irrespective of his severing of
his connection with the work, which he
said would be carried on by his sue
cessor.
Additional informa tiCn has been re
ceived that the locks in the old canal
will be eliminated, thus reducing the
time of passage through the canal.
The opportunity is thus enlarged for an
increase in the barge traffic between
the North and South.
The widening and deepening of the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal will be
the paramount subject of discussion at
the annual convention of the Atlantic
Deeper Waterways Association, to be-
gin in Atlantic City on October 4.
The immediate proposition is to Sc
cure an appropriation Of ~, 600, 600 by
Congress with which to begin the work
Of widening and deepening the canal,
the ultimate ambition being waterway
100 feet wide and 35 feet deep. The
proposed width and depth will be at
tanned at stated intervals covering a |
period of 20 years. If the work in mind
were prosecuted at once throughout the |
length Of the canal it would be put out |
of commission entirely, a hardship
which shipping interests cannot endure.
