HOME BREW ALLOWED BY
AMENDMENT.

WASHINGTON, Aug. f6.-Any
householder could have his home
brew under interpretations placed
upon an amendment to the Willis
Campbell beer bill approved today
by the house.
The amendment adopted as a sub
stitute for a senate provision would
require federal agents to have war
rants before entering homes in the
search of liquor. It provides, how
ever that no warrant shall be issued
for search of home unless there
is reason to believe such dwelling is
used as a place in which liquor is
manufactured for sale or Sold"
Representative Fields, Democrat,
Kentucky declaring the house
amendment would virtually sanction
home brew" provided it was not
made to be sold, attempted to have
the words, ''for sale" stricken out,
but his motion was rejected SO to
Sd.
Representative Volstead, MINES
ota, Republican, author of the orig
inal prohibition act, favored the
house substitute as adopted. He de-
clared later it would not change the
policy of the prohibition enforce
ment bureau in reference to home
brewing. No attempt of late has
been made on orders from Wash
ington, he said, to prohibit the home
manufacture of potent beverages
for home use.
Pleading for tight ban on home
brew, Mr.. Fields declared that II
you say a man can rig up distillery
in his home you kill the Volstead
act"

MRS. GREEN DIES At
.GULFPORT SUNDAY
WAS MOTHER OF JNO. A. GREEN
RESIDENT REPRESENTATIVE
LOUISVILLE & NASHVILLE
RAILROAD COMPANY FOR
OVER FORTY YEARS.-DIED
AT GULFPORT.-FUN In
BAY ST. LOUIS SUNDAY
NATIVE OF IRELAND; AGE so.

Mrs. Margaret Green, mother OF
John A. Green, weil-known resident
representative of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad Company, in Bay
st. Louis for over forty years, died
at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
M. A. Memo, at Gulfport, Sunday af-
ternoon at IL 40 o'clock, August IA,
1921.
Mrs Green, native of Ireland,
was 80 years Of age at the time of
her demise, and had been resident
of the Gulf Coast for over sixty
years. She had spent much Of her
time In Bay st. Louis visiting at the
home of her son, but due to her ad-
vanced age, had not visited here for
the past eight years. However, those
who knew her, remember her well,
and most pleasantly for the many
traits of character and virtues which
her Maker so lavishly endowed her
with. She had been comparatively
well during the years of her later
age until about month since when
she was taken i'll and began to fail
until the inevitable A Christian IN
the true sense of the word, she prac-
ticed all the term Implies and her
long life was replete with innumer-
able deeds that characterized her
long and beautiful life.
The remains were carried to this
city Monday morning, accompanied
by friends and relatives and met
here by large number of Bay st.
Louis friends of the family, although
it was comparatively little known
that she had passed away and that
the funeral was to be held in this
city. From the railroad depot the
funeral cortege wended its way to
ST. Mary's Cemetery, where a new
ly-made underground vault received
the remains. The number of floral
offerings accompanying were unusu-
ally large and the newly-made grave
was literally covered with the cholc-
est of flowers. 1t was beautiful
tribute, of loving tenderness and ex-
preston. These came from all over
wherever she was known.
Mrs. Green is survived by one son,
John A. Green; five daughters, Mrs
M. A. Memo, Mrs. ]. j. Bowling and
Mrs. E. E. Smith, of Gulfport; Mrs.
T. T. Payment, of Jackson, Miss;
Mrs. John Meyer, of Mobile, Ala;
twenty-four grandchildren and nine
great grand children. To these and
to the many friends her memory
will ever live, for she was not only
a tender and devoted mother who
lived in the very affections of her
children, but friend who was ever
true and constant.
The relatives have the deepest
sympathy of the community, even
though she had long past the allotted
biblical span of years, had lived her
long and useful life, and has gone
to eternal reward. She will be missed
by those who were closest to her, and
by those who knew her best.

MISS ROBERTSON'S VIEW
ON WOMAN DELEGATE
TO CONFERENCE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17-Speak-
ing further her view as to the ap-
pointment of woman on the Amer
lean delegation for the coming arms
conference Congresswoman Alice
Robertson said yesterday:
"Show me a woman in the United
States who is qualified and l might
urge her appointment.
She added that in order to qualify
a woman not only would have to be
an international lawyer versed in di-
plomatic practice, familiar with for
eign languages and conditions, and
have an assured social standing and
wide international quaintance, but
would also need the faculty of lis
tening great deal and saying little. "

GOOD RESULTS FROM
 MOTHERS PENSION LAW

Little Rock, June 16.-When other counties have observed the spiendl3 results secured by Pulaski in the ad- ministration of the mothers pension law, it is not probable that there will be opposition to it elsewhere This law was passed four years ago as an experiment and was made to apply to only few counties. The number was slightly increased in the last session and it is probable that in few years it will be made to apply to the entire state The pension is not made man datory but is left to the discretion of the county court. It provides slight assistance to worthy women who may be dependent upon their own efforts for the support of a large family of children. The amounts are not large, being restricted in Pulaski county to $25 a month. but it Is sufficiently large to provide most welcome releif in many a poor family.
 There are fl widows on the list in Pulaski county, most of them residing in Little Rock. They receive an aver age of S12.5O month from the coun- ty. So far the pension has been cost ing not to exceed S700 a month and the amount of good accomplished can

DAYLIGHT SAVING

After a years trial, the daylight saving plan was abandoned by the government. Some people approved it and some condemned it. As a rule the city people thought it a good thing, but the farmer objected to it.
 The farmer insisted that he works by the sun rather than by the ccck and that the new schedule greatly disor- ganiZed his relation to the rest of the world However, while the public is not required to save it's daylight by congressional action many institutions find that the new plan is much better than the old and have adopted it of their own accord. In Little Rock there are several shops of various kinds that operate under this plan during the summer months. Instead of ! eginning work at o'clock and clos lg at 5 the men prefer to begin at 7 and close at 4 This is much more convenient since it is easier to work in the early morning than in the hot long afternoons. Further, it gives the employees an opportunity to attend baseball games and look after home gardens or other private affairs.

 The large cooperative house las still other advantages. chiefly that of aTording the opportunity for mzking 2 uniform grades of potatoes to meet the demands Of the markets This is one Of the most important matters n connection with The sweet potato in dustry. that of proper grading. There cannot be any uniformity of grades and methods of packing where the in dividual house is used by any number of growers in any particular locality. Of course, through concerted action there can be an approach to uniform fly in these particulars. but complete
 satisfactory uniformity cannot be realized without the cooperative house where the potatoes can be stored, cured out, graded and packed according to a certain specified stand ard and under the supervision of one management.
 Probably the next most important feature about the cooperative house is The marketing end of the business. The cured. or kiln-dried sweet pota- to is now rapidly superceding the green potatoes on the markets of the United States, and where only a few years ago the demand for southern sweet potatoes was rather limited, it is now almost unlimited in the United States, and where formerly the mar keting season was quite short, cover ing only a few months, both the de-

The cured. or kiln-dried sweet po- tato has come to be staple article of food in the household of millions of Americans This was not the case until the modern kid drying process was developed This process Is now perfected, and it's complete success commercially has been demonstrated as fully as anything can be proven Tn the beginning of this industry, the practice was 10 build small curing houses on farms for individual uses and haul the potatoes to shipping sta tions when they were ready for mar keting IL was soon discovered that this idea would not meet the require ments of the industry, as often diff fculty. annoyance and losses resulted from failure to get the potatoes as sembled at shipping points when de- sired, due to bad weather, impossible roads and other causes.
 All this has now changed. The in dividual curing and storage house on the farm is rapidly giving way to the large community, or cooperative curing and storage house built con- venient to the railroad loading sta ton where the potatoes are assem- oled when harvested, cured out and held in storage until the most convenient time for marketing. These houses are now constructed in separate units, each unit with q capacity ranging from 3 to 1 thousand bushels The large cooperative curing house pos sesses several advantages over the small individual house as a means of taking care of the sweet potato in dustry, not only generally, but in each locality, although it must be conceded that the farmer still has use for his own curing and storage house with small capacity. In these smaii indi- yidual houses the farmers can store their potatoes for home use, for stock feeding and for purposes of carrying over their seed potatoes. These are now practically the only reasons for the existence of the individual house Tn the commercial sweet potato in dustry, except in such cases where the conditions do not permit of the or
