investigation Shows Small
Supply of DYES in Germany

Present production of dyestuffs in
germany Is low, and extremely high
prices are asked by manufacturers from
foreign buyers. This is the gist of a
report on the German dye situation
made ny the Wetterwaid & Pfster Com
pany, conducting the Brunswick Color
and chemical Works in this country
ana having large connections in
switzerland. The report is based on
facts and impressions CLEANED in talks
with leading men in Germany's dive in
dustry.
In addition TO a low production of
dyes because of shortage Of coal and
raw materials labor troubles, etc, the
government controls the price for con-
sumption in Germany, and practically
forces the entire output into the do
meslic market, according to the re-
port Numerous German dye merchants
are offering goods to foreign buyers on
cash III advance at nigh prices basis.
but most of these offerings are be-
lieved to consist OF parcels bought be-
fore the end of the war by business
men and other capitalists who foresaw
Germany's economic break down, and
who preferred to invest their money in
merchandise. Many Of these parcels
have been found to be inferior, and
their quantity is small.
Despite the fact that at present it
is almost impossible to make profitable
purchases of dyes in Germany" says
the report, 1.-THE country is overrun
with buyers from the Orient, the United
States and European countries. After
spending some time in Germany in in
vestlgations and calls and correspond
ence with the manufacturers and the
many so-called dye exporters, such
travellers usually return severely dis
appointed and ready to place their sole
reliance for supplies on the Swiss,
American and British dye manufacture
ers."

OratiOns Delivered
I'm Six Languages
At Commencement

CONSTANTINOPLE, July 10 The
worlds record for the number of lam
guages used in its commencement ex-
ercises probably will go to Robert COL
lege this year. Orations were delivered
IN SIN tongues. and at that the program
was less polyglot than it used to be
before the war Each of the orators
spoke his native tongue, according to
the traditions of the American. school
established ffty-seven years ago. The
school has American standards and a
maj ority of its teachers are Americans,
but its aim is to educate men for serv-
Ice to their own countries, rather than
in nglish-speaking countries.
Armenian, Turkish, Greek, French,
Bulgarian and English were the lam
guages used by the orators, and the
chapel of the college was filled with
a cosmopolitan crowd typical of Con-
stantlnop!e's intellectuals. At the very
time Admiral Bristol, the American
High Commissioner, was advising the
thlrty-two graduates to devote their
religious hatreds of the Levant, war
was going on at four distinct fronts
IN the Turkish Empire, the British,
French, Greeks and Armenans all be-
ing engaged in the conflict with the
Turkish hationalities
The band of the I'd Battalion, Brit
ish Cheshire regiments, which Is
guarding .Constantinople from Nation
alist attacks, played for commence
ment and warships of the Allied
powers lay in the Bosporus at the
foot of the heights on which Robert
College stands.
About the same time the CONSTANT
nople College for Women, another
American institution. held its COM
mencement exercises. Two Turkish
girls We're among the twenty three
young women graduated this year
having managed to keep its work going
throughout the war and for having
kept peace among it's students from
seventeen nations, most Of which were
fighting either with or against Amer
lea. The two Turkish graduates wore
the same black academic gown as their
classmates, but, instead of the mortar
board cap. wore white wells draped
about their hair. a little Turkish
woman who is a member of the faculty
also wore the white Moslem headdress.
Admiral Bristol here also delivered
the commencement address to the
class, which contained one Jewish girl,
nine Armenlans, nine Greeks and two
Bulgarians. Music for the exercises
was furnished by the orchestra of the
British dreadnought, the Iron Duke,
and the diplomas were presented by
DR.. Mary Mills Patrick, president and
founder of the college which Has con-
ferred the degree of bachelor of arts
upon thirty classes and numbers among
its graduates prominent women in ali
the Balkan states.

FORT WORTH, Tex, Aug. 17.-Tsxas
cattiemen are facing u very serious
situation, which has it's bearing on the
country's beef supply, due TO their in
AFFINITY to get loans, according to A. C..
Williams, assistant secretary of the
Cattle Raisers' Association Of Texas.
ne said that the money stringency was
bringing shout the depletion of existing
herds and preventing the building up
OF new ones.
More good pssturxge is going to
waste IN the cattle country than for
many years. Mr.. Williams said. Range
conolilons in Texas and elsewhere have
neen Ideal for the last year and prices.
though unsatisfactory, have not in zen,
erai meant actual loss to the stock
men. The relatively low prices pre-
Valilng have been in goodly measure a
result OF the inability to obtain credits.
Inc present financial situation, how
ever. following on the heels Of severe
aroughts both the Southwest and the
northwest, is bringing about reduc-
eion OF the cattle population which
must In the end mean mounting beef
prices and nation wide economic loss,
On a recent trip through west Texas
and New Mexico had occasion to OBJ
serve that many pastures were un-
s.ocSeo or th1nly stocked, and inquiry
oevoioped the fact that owners were
ANXIOUS to stock and had plenty of Sc
eur,ty. but could not obtain loans.
Many cattiemen whose ranches
were. stocked, were being compelled
70 llquidate, and thousands of cattle
which should normally be used for
breeding. or at least for deveiopme
slaughter. 20
:. The sheep-raising interests of the
San Angelo country are even .mors
seriously threatened than the cattle
interests. This is due in part to the
financial stringency, and is having it's
bearing on the cattle situation.
The principal factor in the sheen
mems problem, however, appears to Be
the virtual withdrawal Of the wool
buyers from the market. The wool
crop this year in the San Angelo terri
tory is estimated at between 5000. O0e
and 5000 900 pounds, an increase of
about 100000 pounds over forme r
years.
Comparatively, little of that has
been marketed because the buyers
having comfortable stocks on hand
are not offering anything like a fair
price. The growers are endeavorine
to hold, and have several million
pounds stored at San Angelo and
neighboring points"

Inc leather and hide markets con-
unue to maintain their duilness. Some
tanners yesterday were inclined to take
a more pessimistic view of conditions
than obtained in the trade last week.
Despite some resumption Of buying in
the shoe trade, the shoe manufacturer
nave failed to evince any interest in
raw materials. Price cutting is not
looked upon as the proper solution to
the problem of breaking the deadlock
in the shoe and leather trades at pres
ent. Some sellers who have cut prices
deeply assert that business is not slim
ulated at the lower level. They are con-
WINGED that business will pick up again
only when fall shoes start moving into
consumptive channels, which will not
occur for another month, at least.

which the farm owners admitted when
they made their returns to the tax
receivers.
The actual increase in values was
certainly 200 per cent and possibly
more.
1 Almost anybody can quote you
farms which sold in 1909 for $40 an
aere and resold in 1919 for 800 to
SD so per acre.
While our farms are valued at
$R86, 100000, or $50 an acre, for
taxation, they are really worth at
least twice that and many of them
five times as much.
Top-soiled and sand-clay roads
have doubled the wealth of our farm
owners.
Now the people are taking deep
interest in Statewide system of
concrete highways. Smooth and hard
surfaced roads will again double the
value Of Georgia's farms.
Therefore we should build them.
All Georgia should get behind this
movement.
The large cities must cooperate
with the country counties, for the
cities will reap large benefits, too.
The highway plans should have the
right of way in the Legislature te-
cause they are constructive.
Give Georgia the best roads and
the best schools and the State will
continue to lead all her neighbors in
| prosperity.
If every voter will ask his repre-
sentative and his senator to help keep
the road clear for these big and ire
mendously important constructive
measures we will get them passed. !.
We want union of forces, not di-
vision, this year.
These facts and flores are such
as to inspire the hearts of all Geor-
gians and as a Georgian we take pride
in passing them on. Tr..akly, we think
Georgia is the greatest of ali the
states in the South, and we believe
Atlanta has no equal il the South as
a city.

GEORGIA FAST GAINING In
WEALTH AND POPULATION

Georgia is a great state. No one
acquainted with her natural resourc-
es, wealth and general prosperity
and era of progress, will attempt to
deny the fact. We are proud of her
many advantages, her superiority
over other states. Speaking along
this line in recent editorial, The
Valdosta Times paints fine word
picture of Georgia. 1t is so true that
we want to pass it on. The Times
says, in part:
Atlanta is a great and prosperous
city.
She has her knockers, but jeal-
ousy is the tribute which mankind
pays to conspicuous success, just as
it is the compliment which women
pay to all attractive members of
their sex.
One explanation of Atlanta's Won
derful growth is found in the develop
nent and prosperity of the State.
A rich State makes prosperous cit
les. PROSPEROUS cities make great mar
kets for farm products.
Georgia has been growing in wealth
more ranldly the past ten years than
during any other decade in her his.
tory. And this was in spite of two or
three years of marked depression
the latter half of 1914, all of 1915
and a part of 1916-the first part of
the world war. One factor in max
| ing the State richer has been the i'm
provement of our public roads.
The first impetus to the good roads
movement in Georgia occurred about
| ten years ago.
There is no question that the At
lanta-New York and the Round-the-
State tours of 1909 and 1910, with
i the wide publicity given to them,
aroused the State.
AS the highways were improved
land values enhanced, and in the de.
cade from 1909 to 1919 the total in
crease in the value of improved farm
lands was 65.6 per cent, according to
the returns in the .comptroller's of
flee.
That is the advance in valuation

NOMINATING SPEECHES
OF OLDEN TIMES BRIEF

CHICAGO, July by Associat-
ed Press. 1.-THE nomination oratory
which marks the two great political
conventions this year is in sharp con-
trast to the nominating speeches of
the early days of the parties. This
has been brought out afresh by in
quiry at the Chicago Historical So
ciety and the Newberry Library here.
In the first great Republican con-
vention Abraham Lincoln was nomi-
mated for the first time, by Mr.. Judd,
of Illinois, in these words:
81 desire on behalf, of the delega-
ton from Illinois to put in nomina-
ton as a candidate for President of
the United States Abraham Lincoln,
of Illinois.
The first national nominating con-
vention of the Democratic party was
held % years earlier, in Baltimore,
May 21-23, 1882. 1t was at this
gathering that Andrew Jackson was
endorsed for his second term. Jack
son had been nominated previ usly

the Church was fond OF taking up q

and according to the Newberry Ii
brary it is doubtful if there was any
speech at all placing him in nomina-
ton at the first Democratic national
convention. The business of this
convention was principally to nomi-
nate for the vice-presidency.

ton concurring in Jackson's repeat

drawn in so words.
