CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Sept. o.
Business men in this city, are being
circularized by seekers Of easy money
on the advantages Of forming an asso-

mess men are informed:
This work must be clothed with
the utmost secrecy as we have found
that publicity usually defeats our pur-

DOUBLING, OF WAGES.

'::Doubling Of wages'' was declared
by the late General Gorgas as the most
important sanitary measure that could

address he made clear that: if given
the power to select only one thing to
improve sanitation, doubling Of wages
would DO his choice.
OF course what he had in mind was
4 real increase in wages, not an imag-
mary one. He did not mean a doubling
Of wages to be accompanied. by treb-
hing Of prices or any price increase at

knew that IN "inerease' would

They are directly responsible for the
disturbed condition Of commerce and

shippers; for loss Of employment by
hundreds of thousands of American

They: forced the whole people to pay
taxes that few individuals might
profit in spite Of the inefficiency and
waste Of railroad management.
They are also responsible for new
burden Of between $5,o0o,0oo, 1000 and
$6,ooo,o 100000 that has been imposed

Mr.. Hines, former director of trans.

gress not to commit this wrongful and
indefensible act. He told the members
that if they did not retain possession
Of the railroads for at least two years
they would invite conditions that could
easily be catastrophe. He predicted
that private control would mean ex'

Mr.. Woolley, Of the Interstate Com.

Wal, street ana dissseasdsd, the sto4i.
Of protest th.t cane from III sections
Of tie country. They were lsya1 to
privilege and disaoyaf to the public
they :are presumed to represent.
It comes with poor grace for con-
gressmen who foisted this .intquitous
legislation upon the nation. to appeal
to workers and liberal citizens for con-
tinued support. It will gain them moth
ing to protest that, they always have
been friendly to the cause Of labor,
offering in support of this statement
their votes on unimportant, immateria1
legislation in which the workers may
have had an interest, but not Of IN
impelling nature. Congressman will be
tested on, their records as they relate
to fundamental problems that affect
for good or i'll all Of the people. Local
or superficial questions do not and
never will indicate the mental bias Of
a congressman or indicate his reaction
when he faces the crucial test.
Railroad legislation was clearly
drawn issue between privilege and the
plain people. Congressman who voted
for the Cummins- Eseh bill voted for
Wall: street just as surely a. though
the words had been written into tho
measure. They knew that the bill had
been drawn by representatives Of the
railroads and their bankers. They knew
that every recommendation. made by
tho farmers, the. workers or a disin.
terested section Of the public, was dis
regarded by the committee that framed
the measure. They knew also that
every suggestion made by the railroad
executives and. the lawyers Of tho Sc.
curity owners associations were en-
bodied into the bill.
Senator La Toilette paralleled the act
with suggestions made BY the railroad
interests and pointed out that they
ran together without the slightest de-
Walton. Other members Of Congress
directed attention to the insidious pro-
visions Of any act that in fvc short
months has wrought moro havoc than
any piece Of domestic legislation ever
approved by national representative
assembly.
How any congressman can, with
brazen ehrontery, pretend loyalty to
tho public in face Of his support of
this monstrous bill passes reasonable
understanding. That one vote; it there
were no other reason, should mark for
defeat every congressman who is: stand.
ing for. reelection. And the: indica.
tions are that it is going to be bar.
rier to many ambitious. Millions Of
workers are not going TO- forget. the
men who forgot them when: they were
vainly pleading that some: considexa-
ton be given to tho public interest.

Large areas of pure or nearly pure
carpet grass occur in several regions
in the South.
Up to the present the quantity of
seed produced has been only fraction
o fthat required. A comprehensive
plan has been devised to increase
greatly the harvesting of seed, as the
outstanding need to stimulate much
greater use of carpet grass for pas

CARPET GRASS

Carpet Grass is the most important
grass for permanent pasture in the
Coastal Plain area of the South.
Carpet grass is not native grass,
but was accidentally introduced from
tropical America before 1880 and has
spread geenrally over the Southern
States.
Carpet grass requires a moist Or at
least not droughtly soil and succeesds
better in such soils if sandy than any
other pasture grass The minimum
temperature it will survive is about
10 f.
Carpet grass pastures are readily
established in titled land by seeding at
an ytimc from early spring to late
summer on a well frmcd seed bed,
when moisture conditions are favor
able. On unbroken or stump land
good results can be secured by burn
ing or moving the tall native grasses,
seeding at favorable time, and then
paSturing to keep the native grasses
constantly short. Under this treat
mcnt the native crosses are eradicat-
90 IN one or two years and replaced by
a pure stand Of carpet grass.
The carrying capacity of good car
pet-graSs pasture is one cow to the
acre for the Eve best months and one
COW to 2 acres for three to five months
