Fears For Oil SuppIy.

just now serious is the question of
a future oil supply was shown by DR..
van II. Manning, director of the
Bureau of Mines, who stated that the
underground reserve of oil in this
country is equal to less than 20 wears
of the present consumption demands.
The oiltields in this country cannot
take care of our future needs and the
problem of supply then becomes 4
problem of developing oil supplies in
other countries with sufficient rapidity
to keep pace with the rapidly increas
ing demand, said DR.. Manning.
consumption increased so much this
year that during January, February
and March 3,373,0OO barrels of crude
oil were taken from shortage TO meet
current demands, according to DR..
Manning And with increased pro-
duction and use of motor vehicles, this
demand is expected to grow rather than
diminish. The production Of 1920 is
likely to be less than for 1919.
Ia ~ hNidS VI VII OCCuT III MEXICO,
Venzuela, Colombia, Persia, Russia
and potential fields are known to &C.
cur in South America, Africa and Asia
Because foreign fields, other than some
in Russia and controlled by the British,
French and Netherlands, DR.. Manning
says this country should be concerned
with the supply in Latin-America, es-
pecially the fields in Mexico, Venzuela
and Colombia. The Mexican fields
will be the easiest to develop.
DR.. Manning said oil productions
might be obtained from destructive dis
tillation Of coal and lignites and that
oil shales in the Rocky Mountain dis
tricts might also provide supply fol-
the future, but that these sources Of
supply would only serve either a small
portion Of the demand, and the process:
of obtaining them was in its infancy.

Will Grow Sugar Beet Seed.

Fred Challis, of Saginaw, Michi-
gan, in quest of a section of country
adapted to the culture of sugar beet
seed has selected this county after
travelling many miles in his search for
a promisin location. The soil and
the climate here, he feels confident,
furnish almost the ideal combination
for a successful experiment.
Three land owners, DIR. w. Z. Perry
and T. E. Baumgardner, both in the
vicinity of Halltown, and E. b. Fry,
on his Shannondale farm, have agreed
to undertake the cultivation of a small
acreage. Dr. Perry will devote about
ten acres TO the experiment on the
Cockrell farm at Allstadt's tollgate;
Mr.. Baumgardner five acres and Mr..
Fry six acres.
The beet plants that grow the seed
are set out in rows about three feet
apart, and require practically the
same cultivation as corn. August or
early September is the harvest season
for the crop. Mr.. Challis pays the
grower one hundred dollars an acre
for the use of the land the cultivation
and harvesting of the crop. In addi-
/ ton to the hundred dollars per acre,
he allows the grower ten cents a pound
for all seed in excess of 600 pounds
grown on each acre cultivated. A
good yield ought to produce l,00C
pounds to the acre.
Sections of the country where sugar
beets are grown for the refneries are
not, as rule. adapted to the produc,
ton of beet seed. Early frosts fire
quently ruin the crop, Most of tht
seed had been imported from German!
before the war, and with the loss of thu
imported supply due to the war, bee
growers have been put to their wit:
end to find the required seed.-Ad

Clearly Wild Animals.

Animals, says French savant, fur
nish man an example in the matter of
hygiene. They were the first creatures
who made use of the sponge, soap and
even of the toothbrush. From time
immemorial they cleaned themselves
by using the tongue as brush, their
saliva as soap, their tail as a towel,
their claws as a comb. Furthermore
they battle themselves frequently.
Colonies of monkeys isolate those
among them who refuse to observe the
rules of cleanliness. 1t has been re.

One of the marvels of wild life is the
way in which it persists in the face of
encroaching civilization. Boys still find
muskrats, skunks and foxes within the
boundaries OF the suburbs of large
cities and sometimes within the cor
pOrate limits of the cities themselves.
The mink, too, refuses to be extermi-
mated, though the price put upon his
head by fashion will probably drive
him farther into the wilderness. At
the recent fur sales in ST. Louis the
price of mink skins went to SIS, which
is an advance of $50 per cent over
any previous price. Marten sold from
$40 to 500, and even the humble mar

JOINT COUNCIL BRIDGES GULF BETWEEN
LABOR AND CAPITAL

most disastrous labor upheaval in Ca
madam history.
The council, whose creation was a
direct result of that STRIKE operates
under the Industrial Conditions Act,
designed by the legislature to prevent
the recurrence of such a cataclysm. 1t
consists of five members appointed
derman W. B. Simpson and Alderman
Ernest Robinson, representing labor
H. B. Lyall and John Stovel, repre-
senting employers, and Rev. C. W.
Gordon, better known under his pen
name, Ralph Conner, who is chair
man.
Board Is Passive.
The only criticism directed against
the board so far is it has taken only
passive part, that it has dealt only
with industrial disputes which have
been brought before it and has not
taken the initiative in an attempt to
get at the causes of the unrest that
pervades not only organized labor
but the great, unorganized middle
class. According to Captain j. W.
Wilton, father of the act under which
it operates, it has used less than 10
per cent of the powers which it is en-
lowed
The one thing that it has done has
been to:
Investigate and settle industrial
disputes when the disputes were cur
rent.
Among the many things it is en-
powered to do, but that has not done,
are to:
Powers Unused.
Initiate action wherever the coun-
Gil has reason to believe that an in
dustrial dispute seems likely to arise"
Investigate the cost of living and
publish monthly reports of living
costs.
Investigate the cost of "any COM
modify or service necessary to main
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1920-08-18

tain fair standard of living" when
ever such cost seems more than is
"fair and reasonable"
Make industrial surveys, to ascer.
tain the numbers of union and non,
union employees engaged, the wages
paid and the conditions under which
they work.
Encourage the formation of or
CARNATIONS of employees.
Investigate whenever it has rea
son to believe that any employer OF
group of employers is making unfair
profits or paying unfair wages.
Investigate complaints by employ
es alleging breach of contract on the
part of any employer, or of unfair OF
oppressive treatment, or discrimina'
ton.
Investigate any complaint of agree
ments or arrangements made by EN-
ployers injuriously affecting the pub
lie.

To make its work effective, the
council is invested with all the pow.

of Kings bench in civil cases, in en-
forcing the attendance of witnesses!
examining them under oath and
compelling them to give evidence
compelling the production of docu-
ments and Furnishing persons guilty

Since the first week of its exist
ence the council has had before it
complaint of rent profteering in
the form of an application, filed by
the Women's Auxiliary of the Great
War Veterans Association, for an
investigation into the house rents,
but to date nothing has been done
with it. 1t also has been requested
by different labor organizations to
investigate the cost of living, prof
iteering, and complaints of unfair
wages, but it has done nothing as
yet with these matters.

THINGS WOMEN
WANT TO KNOW

How is the naming of the presiden-
tial candidate by a political party reg
ulated?
No political party is recognized as
such until it has a given percentage
of the voters, that percentage vary
ing with the different states. A party
not legally recognized in. this way
cannot enter its candidates upon the
ballot.
What officials will be voted on in
the November elections in your state!
President and vice president
through the electors;' one United
States senator, if the term OF either
member from your state expires IN
March, 1921; one United States rep
resentative from your district; a
state senator; a state representative {;
certain state executive officers, wher-
ever these are elected in even years;
in some states city elective officers
will be elected at the general cleo
ton.
What effect has the ratification of
the federal suffrage amendment by
any state upon the voting privileges
of women within that state, before
SO states have ratified?
Until the full So states have ratl-
fed the federal suffrage amendment,
women within any state which has
ratified have only whatever voting
privileges have been granted to them
by that individual state. When so
states have ratified, the amendment
goes into effect everywhere at once.
In an election year what legitimate
expenses has a national political or
ganization?
Parties usually maintain two ma
tional headquarters in an election
year, and in addition must pay for
advertising, publicity agents, party
literature, postage, organizers, speak
ers, travelling expenses, and hall rent
for the speakers.
