SHORTAGE OF WEST is
PLACED AT $21,9O5
SEVERAL HUNDRED DISCREP-
ANGLES IN ACCOUNT OF
FORMER SECRETARY.

ATLANTA, Ga.-The formal re-
port of Haskins and Sells, auditors, as
presented to Governor Hardwick,
Iplaces at $20,905.33 the total alleged
shortage OF Claude West executive
secretary in the office Of the former
Governor Dorsey.
The auditors explained that of the
total of $20,905.33, the sum of $6,8l8.40
was susceptible of possible explanation
by West The deduction of this figure
would leave a net discrepancy of $14,
08693
The report covered an investigation
that had been under way for several
weeks by the auditors. Investigation
began when an alleged shortage Of
81 500 was found in an insurance ac-
count carried by the state prison COM
mission, this sum being due the COM
mission as an insurance adjustment
on losses sustained by fire on state
property at Milledgeville, and which
sum was never paid by the former sec
rotary to the prison officials.
Many Of the alleged discrepancies
of the former secretary were found
in insurance accounts, although forged
warrants and checks figure in the case,
it is said. West was indicted by the
Fulton county grand jury several
weeks ago on charges of forgery and
larceny after trust He is now at lib
erty under a bond of $4,000.
Several hundred items are included
in the list of alleged discrepancies, one
of them being as large as $6,20l and
some as small as $43.50.
West was an attache of the govern
or's office during the administrations
OF Slaton, Harris and Dorsey and
served a few weeks as assistant sec
rotary in the office of Gov. Hardwick.

.WOMENS VOTE DIDN'T

NEW YORK.-Elections in the
present civic development of this town
may not be an ennobling spectacle, but
they yield to no other event in ability
to fray the feelings. This election was
especially filled with excitement and
exhaustion. The woman's vote; the
woman's vote that was to clean up the
CITY, smash the tiger" in the jaw,
everlastingly tie the can to graft and
bad government, this new woman's
vote gave Tammany the incest major
ity of all its years and the womens
reform associations are still asking
dazedly what happened.
ooh, WE'LL women are people,, as
the republican women leaders sadly
admitted next day. And every woman
knows you cannot depend on people to
be different" The enlightening fact

mems votes follow the lead of mems
And this. too, with as much docility
as if the word emancipation had new

Meanwhile, all women have one
cause for Joy. A woman will be the
next registrar. She is Miss Annie
Mathews, the Tammany candidate,
and she takes charge-at $4,000 a
year-of the most important job in
which New York has ever elected
woman. For the benefit of women can
didates il is worth noting that Miss
Helen Varick Boswell, the defeated
republican nominee for registrar, wore
black satin with facings of gray when
she cast her vote; while Miss Mathews
wore dark blue tricotine and violets.

FARMERS OF COUNTRY
GETTING TOGETHER
coo PER ATIVE MARKETING
IS MAKING GREAT STRIDES
IN ALL SECTIONS.
DOING A MONSTER BUSINESS
Figures for the Past Year Over the
375 Million Mark Falling Prices
Have Done Much to Arouse the
Tillers of the Soil.

1lllerS OF the SOIL
WASHINGTON, D. C.-Figures
just obtained at the department. OF ag-
riculture show that farmers co-opera-
tive organizations last year, did a bus
mess of $375714, 900, as against lit
tie more than $60,0O0000 in 1919. The
figures for 1921, it is claimed, will
show another tremendous gain
Under the auspices of the depart
ment OF agriculture the farmers of the
country are being led more and more
toward business methods in the mark
citing of their crops. According to re-
ports of the department the farmers
in the United States have come to real
ize as never before that success in
farming is dependent upon effective,
organized marketing systems for farm
products. Cooperative associations
among the farmers are increasing rap
idly in number and influence; only
within the past week they have attain
ed recognition by the federal reserve
board in a way that is expected to
make bank credit more available for
farm use.
The business done through these Or
CARNATIONS amounted to $375,714,660,
and the saving through the co-opera-
tive form was $I152,H3.
Rapidly falling prices for products,
inability to get credit to hold prod
ucts until the market was favorable,
have awakened the farmer to the fact
that his interest in his produce must
be more than is included in the mere
process of production. He must be
able in part, at least, to follow the
produce to the market. This the CO.
operative association plan enables him
to do. There have been times in the
past when the farmer has been dis
posd to undertake cooperative ven
lures, but until recently there has been
an unwlli~gness on his part to pay
for high class management.

in a newspaper controversy as to which

upon his return from his European
tour and the other did not. May Col

when asked about it said that Il am
not that kind OF a girl"
The controversy continued after
Chaplin had vanished, the general
opinion growing that he was favoring
Miss Collins. Then came the news that
he and Mrs. Sheridan had gone away

Fair Proves Successful in
Spite of Bad Weather

The Audubon county fair is a
thing of the past and, except for
the result of the inclement weather,
was a decided success. The re-
peated downpours of rain handi-
capped both exhibitors and specta-
tors but in spite of the weather and
bad roads, there were goodly num-
bers present each day. On Satur-
day, there was a big crowd, and
the races took place according to
schedule and good time was
made.
The exhibits were Of a high or
der and displayed with artistic
skill. The miniature model farm
and the fgurative farmers relation
to the home, church and school,
arranged by the county agent, Mr..
Reeve, attracted much attention.
Shows were given Thursday and
Saturday evenings.
Considering the extreme capri
ciousness of the weather, much
which tends to the spirit of cooper
alton was accomplished.
