" SPEED /" IS MOTTO
OF UNITED STATES
GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS IN
RACE TO GET RID OF MONEY.
BIG SUMS IN ESTIMATES.

The saturnalia of spending, born
of the war, continues in all the gov
eminent departments at Washing
ton. The war and navy departments,
DESTROYS of maintaining practically
a war footing, have begun it, but the
power of example has laid its effect
on all the other branches of govern
ment.
The idea that the country was an
inexhaustible reservoir of funds
seems to have been extended to cover
peace times. The habit of thinking
in billions has spread all over the
government and it will require
major operation on the part of con-
gress to eradicate.
Big Jump in Printing Bill.
The public printer, for the fiscal
year 1920-21, has asked for $780,
770,291. Last year he asked for ap-
proximately $7,8O0,0O0. In 1916
the year of a national election and
the hottest propaganda year known
to the government up to that time
the appropriations for the public
printer totalled about $5,400,000.
If any government official should
know the war is over the secretary
of state should be the man. But
he wants $14,550,000 of the public
funds next year, approximately
100000 more than was appropri-
ated for his use this year.
The treasury department payroll
in 1916 was $673,160. The estimate
for next year is $3,788,340. Appro-
priations for the war risk bureau
for the current fiscal year amounted
to S1O,989,000. The bureau asks
for SIG, 900 to pay next years
| expenses.
The question of vocational train
ing is one that will bear lot of in
vestigation. The war is over, but
the vocational training board wants
S38 100000 next year. The salary
and expense roll will amount to
$8,O0O,0OO if congress passes the ap-
preparation.
A recurrence of the we'll known
crime wave evidently is anticipated
by the department of justice. That
branch of the government wants
to spend S3,5OO,0O0 next year, an
increase of $1,9OO,OOO over the
amount appropriated this year. In
peace days, back in 1916, the depart
ment of justice cost the taxpayers
$485,000.
No citizen doubts the wisdom of re-
claiming public lands. The govern
ment is expending $7,5O0,0OO on
that line this year. But the bureau
in charge of retaining public lands
wants S2O,134, 900 to spend next
year, an increase of 800 per cent.

EAR OF CORN WAS MORE
THAN A YARD IN LENGTH
Was on Exhibition at National Grain
Show in Chicago.

Farmers attending the recent In
ternational hay and grain show held
in connection with the international
Live Stock Exposition at Chicago
stared in amazement when they be-
held among the exhibits an ear Of
corn a trife over a yard long. Such
an ear they had never seen even
remotely approximated in their own
or ANYBODY else's corn fields, and
they simply could not believe that
If was a real one. AS a matter OF
fact it was not genuine, but a clever
Iv constructed imitation ear. 1t was
made up of the largest and most
perfect kernels selected from more
than a hundred real ears, all harmo-
nizing in color and shape, which were
fastened to an imitation ''cob" IN
manner calculated to deceive the
most expert eye. The ear, which
measured exactly 81 inches in length
and 80 inches in circumference, con-
tanned 80 rows with 225 kernels to
the row. making total of 8,45O
kernels in all. In shape, proportion
and general arrangement of the ker-
nels on the cob it was as perfect as
anv of the prize winning ears or real
corn exhibited.

GEORGIA FARMER HAS
RAISED GREEN COTTON
Attains Objective Long Sought by
Agriculturists and Scientists,
HeraIding a New Era.

Cotton, the staple of which is a

been produced by c. +. O'Briant, a
farmer residing in the Pleasant Grove
district near Dalton, Ga. He thus
attains the objective long sought by
agriculturists and scientist, which is
said to herald new era in the pro-
duction of cotton.
The samples of this "irridescent
cotton" are of beautiful green color
and of very fine texture and fibre,
resembling lambs wool.
Mr.. O'Briant has experimental for

FOG DELAYED START
OF RACE ONE HOUR
Lipton's Challenger Has New
Topmast and TopsaiI for
Fourth Cup Contest
BY the Associated Press

Sandy Hook, y. j., July 23.-Fog
today delayed the start of the fourth
international yacht race.
While the defender Rcsolute and
challenger Shamrock " we're lettering
around the Ambrose Channel Lightship
at IL 30 in four knot breeze, thick
bank Of vapor inclosed them, causing the
regatta commission at II :45 to order
fifteen minute postponements.
At noon visibility about the light :
ship had been reduced to 100 yards. a
perfect chorus of whistles was sweeping
the spectator fleet.
Sir Thomas Upton and his friends
feel that Shamrock's best chances oil
capturing the pewter mug lie in to-
days contest. in which the Irish sloop
has twenty miles of reaching,
point of sailing in which she has shown
| superiority over Resolute.
Should the American craft win to-
day the cup boats will meet tomorrow
over n thirty mi1e winCward and lee
ward course. and the chances for heso :
lute-a witch at windward work-in
the final and deciding contest would
be bright indeed.
The rival shippers today kept their
tmainsails under cover until the rain
passed out to sea. At an early hour
only few members of the crews. wear
ing oil slickers. were observed on deck.
White and green hulled sloops rode
side by side in the shelter of the Horse
shoe after day of rest spent by the
challenger in Staten Island drydock,
whore her sleek sides underwent another
furnishing. While being groomcd for
what may prove the last race of the
series Shamrock also was equipped with
new topmast and a new topsail.
Following these alterations the New
York Yacht Club announced that, pend
ing a rcmeasurement Of the green sloop,
the race would be run today with n
handicap of six minutes and forty sec =
Onds in favor of Resolute. unless the
remeasurement, probably after the race,
should alter these figures.
Resolute, although not hauled out of
the water. was not neglected by her
crew, who spent the day testing stays,
inspecting sails and making everything
ready for a contest in which seconds

rocks bows at 2 :0T and then came
about on starboard tack, planted
squarely on the challengcr's quarter.
After this mancuvcr the press boat
wirelessed that Resolute was about 100
yards ahead.
OF shore the wind seemed briSkcr and
the yachts took on speed. their lee rails
awash. At 2:14 it looked as if Reso-
lutte might be able to fetch the first
mark. Shamrock was behind and to lee
ward.

broke out a ballooner and drew past the
Shamrock.
The Hcrreshoff sloop managed to

which certainly was standing up closer

Englshman's hope for the race lay in
the two reaching legs to come.

but with Resolute a quarter Of n mile
ahead. At 4 10 the breeze came back
from the southwest and Shamrock got
IL first. The challenger set working
topsail and big reaching iib and began
to reach by Rcsolutc. Shamrock passed
Resolute within three miles Of the
finish. but at 4:14 had not enough lead
to win if present conditions held. The
yachts were reaching for It on the port
tack, with No. ] jib topsails set. Sham
