Cotton Gr0zvery Should
Not Sell Seed at L0zV
Prices, Says J0rdan

as stated in the press dispatches, if
true, presents a solar plexus blow
to the pocket books of the farmers,
which is truly staggering, and which
cannot and should not be submit
ted to by a single cotton grower in
the south. At the present high price
of commercial fertilizers it will be
cheaper, and far more profitable, to
keep the cotton seed as a fertilizer
in those sections of the cotton. belt
where fertilizers are used, than to
sacrifice them at a price SO far below
the cost of production. In other sec
tions where fertilizers are not used,
the seed should be hauled back home
from the gin, housed out of the
weather, and spread out, so as to
mo man can afford to give the
hard earned product of his toll to
the organized manufacturers of the
by-products Of the cotton seed indus
try at such mercilessly low prices
now. There has been no reduction
made to the consumer in the price of
compound lards, but on the contrary
the buckets are being made smaller
in size, and the contents constantly
lessened in quantity. The price of
cotton seed meal is so high that the
fertilizer companies have abandoned
it's use as basis of nitrogen en-
tirely. On August LIST we find cot
ton seed meal in car lots at Atlanta,
seed hulls, sacked, in car lots at SIS
per ton. At these prices for some
Of the leading by-products of cotton
seed. where is the rhyme or. reason
for making the price of the raw
seed down to $40 per ton.

Exemptions Voted
For Charity Bequests

BY the terms Of bill which pass
ed the senate Thursday morning,
the Scottish Rite Home for Grip
pied Children at East Lake will be
exempted from the payment Of $4,000
inheritance tax on legacy Of $780,
600, bequeathed to that institution
by the late Mr.. Albert Steiner, we'll
known Atlanta business man and
philanthropist, who died several
months ago.
The bill will also exempt the
Grady hospital from the payment of
$4,000 inheritance tax on a legacy
of $150,0)0 from the Steiner estate.
The measure in question has al
ready passed the house, having been
introduced by Mr.. Moore, of Butts
county, and when it came up in the
senate on Thursday was sponsored
by Senator Ivan E. Allen, of the
Thirty-fifth. 1t amends the in
heritance tax law so that exemptions
on legacies for charitable, scientific,
literary, and educational purposes
shall be operative as to requests
made after January L.. 1919. The
schedule of inheritance taxes as fix
ed by the statute increases with the
amount Of the legacy and establishes

Improvement Shown
In Cotton, Corn, Potato
Crops, SAYS Pedder

Summarizing financial, industrial
and agricultural conditions in Geor-
gia and the southeast, J. E. c.. Ped
der, southeastern manager of the
Bradstreet company, shows in his
report for the week ending August
A., that the cotton, corn, potato and
truck crops now are showing marked
improvement, in spite of the fact that
the recent rainy spell has been con-
ductive' to the inroads of the boil
weevil.
Mr.. Pedder's report follows:
"Wholesale and jobbing trade is
quiet. Retailers still indicate an I'M
willingness to place orders except
for immediate shipment and then
only on a filling-in basis. Cut rate
sales of clothing and shoes continue.
Collections are slow. Transportation
facilities continue bad and are af-
fecting business, especially in build
ing materials. Money is high and
scarce except for nonspeculative GUS
toners.
1.-THE past week has been rainy and
cool, which is designated as favorable
to the boil weevil. The cotton plant
looks well, however, and has on the
whole shown improvement. Corn,
potatoes and truck show good growth
the past week and although all crops
are about two weeks late, an aver
age yield is anticipated"

WOULD JAIL ANY
WOMAN FOR USING
''DECOY" ON MEN

AS if it wasn't tough enough on
the girls already, with life impris-
onment threatening them if they dare
even to wash their hands wearing
anything less than suit of sheet
iron, along comes Senator George C.
Glenn, of the Forty-third, with a bill
that makes it all but impossible to
catch a husband.
Senator Glenn wants to put in Jail
any woman, maid or widow" who
decoys the hunted male into matri-
mony by any such artful device as
scent, paint, powder, perfume, cos
metlcs, waters, artificial teeth, false
hair, Spanish wool, iron stays, cor
sets, hoops, high-heel shoes, V-cut
waists, lingerie, rainbow hosiery" Or
practically anything else that WON
an wears for fascination rather than
protection.
Senator Glenn introduced several
years ago in the legislature his
Establishment bill," as he calls it.
1t failed of passage at the time,
much to his sorrow. Now, he de-
clares, with the advent of sheer lace
hosiery, harem skirts, shimmy dances
and other modern institutions, the
situation is something less than in
tolerable-man has no more chance
for freedom than the inside of an egg.
Senator Glenn introduced his bill
In the senate Thursday. 1t was
promptly referred to the committee
on the state sanitarium.
The bill, it will be noted from the
text given below, is drastic. About
all 1t leaves to the girls for hus-
band-hunting is flatiron or a brick
It's text follows:
A bill to be entitled an act to re-
vive and put in force the British act

ments Of women upon the unsuspect,

Wild Man of Desert
Kills Ranchers' Stock

WINNEMUCCA, Nev-A wild man
lives on Owynhee desert, great
stretch of bleak, barren country on
the eastern part of the line between
Nevada and Oregon, according to
ranchers. They said they had seen
him many times, but that no one was
ever able to approach him until some
time ago, when some riders surround
ed him and made him talk.
He looked wild, they reported, and
his hair and beard were long. The
men let him go. Now the ranchmen
the fellow is killing their cattle and
sheep, on which he lives, and they
are requesting the Oregon authorities
to catch him and look after him.

The recent slump reported in the
price of cotton seed sets a figure
below the cost of production, accord
ing to Harvie Jordan, secretary OF
the American Cotton association, who
recommends that growers either use
seed for fertilizer or hold it for
the time being, rather than market
it at present.
Following is statement concern
ing the situation, issued by Mr.. Jor-
dan: tn.
the cotton seed market. Like bolt
of lightning from clear sky, we
note in the market reports that the
price of cotton seed has fallen to
$20 per ton, price recently liked
cording to Commerce and Finance.
1t was assumed that the market
would open this season at from $S5
to $50 per ton. The present quoted
prices of cotton seed per ton will
not much more than pay the cost of
ton, while it takes the seed from two
bales to make ton: Hundreds OF
thousands of small farmers, includ-
ing tenants and share choppers who
grow cotton, always depend upon the
cotton seed to aid them in paying
the purchase of essential supplies
required while gathering the crop
eff the price per ton for seed
will not more than pay the cost of
picking and ginning one bale of cot
ton, how is the, crop to be gathered
when the entire proceeds of all the
lint is generally required to meet
obligations already made in the
planting and cultivation of the crop,
this situation generally, confronts
the vast majority of the small farm
ers who are really the producers OF
the crop.
r AT $4,000 per ton, the price of the
seed is reduced to 80 cents per bush
ell and compares favorably with the
days of ten cents cotton. It must
be remembered that ordinary plant
ing seed sold the growers last spring
over large areas of the western cot
ton belt. brought $3.50 per ton, or
nearly So per bushel. The farmers
in the southwest failed to save good
planting seed due to the long season
of wet weather in that section. Sc
lected planting seed of certain varie-
ties sold in car lots for 5000 per
ton, and in many cases as high as
81 per bushe1.

Man Robbed Three
Times in One NIGHT

KANSAS CITY, Mo.-While Paul
Jotblad, a cook, was bending over
the stove in a Grand avenue restau-

stepped into the place, covered"
Jotblad with revolver and rifled
the cash register, taking $3.50.
Deciding it was a poor night, Jot-
blad locked up the restaurant and
went to his room in the Paris hotel
There he found that a thief had pre-
coded him and stolen a suit and
pair Of trousers.
Jotblad thrust his hand into his
pocket to see If his money still was
safe. He pulled out $14 and laid the
money on a table, where he could
watch it. Then he went to bed and
to sleep.
When he awoke he looked at the
table and gasped. The money was
gone.
