100000 PRISONERS HELD
100000 Russians Still in Germany
League Asked to Investigate
Question Of Repatriation.

Stockholm, May 31.-TwO hundred
thousand prisoners of war still remain
in Siberia, it is estimated by the Swed-
ish Red Cross, according to DIR. Fridt-
iof Nansen, in an interview published
here. There are probably 100000 Rus
sian prisoners in Germany, he says.
Doctor Nansen was asked by the
council of the League of Nations early
this month to investigate the ques-
ton of repatriation of prisoners, and
says the principal difficulty to be over
come is transportation. He explains
that prisoners in Siberia have been
recommended by telegraph to try to
get to Moscow, and that large num-
bers already have begun to travel
westward.

CHEVROLET WINS
INDIANAPOLIS RACE
Drives American Car to Victory

437th Lap-Thomas Second and

ness Contest

indianapolis Speedway, June L.
CASTOR Chevrolet drove an American
car to victory in the international
sweepstakes on Monday before
cheering multitude of 125,O00 specta-
tors. Chevrolet, plotting a Monroe
special, made the 500 miles in hours,
40 minutes and 1914 seconds, an av-
erage of 88.16 miles an hour. His is
the first American-made car to win
the event in seven years. Rene Thorn
as in Ballot (French) finished sec
Ond, three minutes behind the winner
and Tommy Railton, in a Duesenberg
was third with a running time of
3 :46 1888. Jimmy Murphy, in a Sec
ond Duesenberg finished fourth, his
time being 5 80 :31.37.
De Palma Finishes Fifth.
But it was Ralph De Palma, who
came in fifth in his Ballot, that fur
nished the sensation of the race. The
famous Italian, driving at top form,
led the field during most of the race,
but with victory within his grasp his
car burst into flames, which were not
extinguished until he had lost eleven
laps. From then on De Palma drove
one of the most daring races of his
daring career in vain effort to regain
the lead. When he came limping across
the finish line in his cream-cOlOred car
a spontaneous cheer burst FROM all of
the thousands within view-a tribute
to the Italians plucky fight,
De Palma's average time for the
course was 1912 miles an hour.
Winner Gets $21, 800.
Chevrolet's victory brings him in
hard cash $21, 300, his share of the
$4,000 purse being $4,000 for first
place. The $1,000 is his for making
the best time for 13 laps.
Rene Thomas winnings are $40, 700
for second place, plus seven lap prizes
of 500 each. De Palma won SO lap
prizes, which, with his share of the
purse, netted him 81 1000.
Contrary to expectations the track
record of 1884 miles per hour did not
fall, due probably to Chevrolet's un-
willingness to risk losing first place
for the sake of lowering the mark.
Pushing into one of the famous
spurts that have brought him victory
on many another course, De Palma
soon led the pack by two laps, and
the experts in the press stand leaned
back with the unanimous verdict: "It's
all over"
Luck Changes in 437th Lap.
For almost a hundred miles their
verdict seemed justified. With the half
way mark behind him, De Palma held
grimly to his two-lap lead. But at the
fatal 437th mile the luck turned. First
De Palma was forced to make 12-sec-
and stop for tire changes. This lost
him nothing, but on the back stretch
his gasoline supply gave out and his
mechanic was forced to walk to the
pits and back with fresh fuel. After
travelling a little over mile his car
burst into flames, which were extin-
guished without any damage, but not
before he had lost IL laps.
CASTOR Chevrolet had things his own
way after the 437th mile, when he
brushed into number one position. He
1Oy-rided around the course to the fin
ish, stopping for gasoline once without
endangering his lead.

Skunk Is
Real Friend of Farmer

Few persons have seriously con-
sidered establishing friendly rela-
lions with a skunk. 1t has been
done in some cases under the -misap-
prehension that the animal was a
cat, and the results have been I'M
pleasant. But the Biological Survey
of the United States Department of
Agriculture has investigated the
skunk and found him to be the
best wild-animal friend the farmer
has.
Almost any farmer might have
two or three dozen skunks at work
for him destroying mice, grasshop--
pers, crickets, and white grubs, and
furnishing him from $50 to 500
worth of fur a year. Al that is
necessary is that he respect. their
dens, keep his poultry in skunkproof
yards, kill an old horse for them
every fall, and be tactful when he
meets them in the evening. There
is a marked depression of the fur
market at present, but recovery to
normal is anticipated.
1t has been estimated that a
years catch of skunks in New York
State is worth s1,oOO,ooo. Only one
fifth of them are black or short
striped If all were of this higher
grade, they would be worth $4,000
800. The department suggests that
q preserve stocked with black
.;kunks would eventually double or
treble the catch Of skunks in the
territory surrounding it.

ly Endorsed the formation of an ex-

payment of stock, as recommended
by Governor w. P. G.. Harding Of
the Federal Reserve board, but in

port corporation when it meets on
September 20 should arrange to ac-
cept not only cotton in payment of
stock, but also accept cash and lib
erty loan bonds in payment of same
A special committee was appointed
to canvass for stock in the export
corporation in Calhoun county and
raised $4,000 in cotton and $4,000 in
cash. This amount will be largely
increased. Calhoun county is thor
oughly alive to the tremendous bene-
fits to be secured by the organiza-
ton Of the export corporation. 1t
realizes that this will furnish mar
ket at profitable prices for not only
low grade cotton, which cannot be
sold, but also for good grades, which
low the cost of production; that in
addition to this it will furnish not
only a TEN 0orary relief but a per-
manent beneficial relief of great
magnitude. The export corporation
will place the machinery of the
marketing of raw cotton into for
eign countries for the first time in
the hands of the south, and will abb
solutely revolutionize the raw cot
ton industry.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 1.-The
United States department of agricul-

combating the peach insect pest,

perhaps 100000 in Georgia this
year. The 1920 season, the depart
