EXPECT new TRAINING

q. S. NAVAL TRAINING STATION,
GREAT LAKES, ILL.,, July 19.-Thou-
sands of middle western and western
boys who trained for naval service
here during the war without ever see
ing a naval vessel may come back
next year and find training ships and
submarine chasers riding at anchor at
the high bluffs of Lake Michigan.
Work began this month on $780,
900 harbor which congress recently
authorized for training station. When
completed late next summer, the
basin will provide room for six or
seven ships drawing twenty feet to
ride at anchor.
A breakwater of riprap and concrete
is being built to enclose an area ap-
proximately a half mile long and &
quarter mile wide, with an entrance to
the southeast. The enclosed harbor,
besides affording an anchorage on
this unprotected shore for training
ships and chasers, will be used as a
take-off basin for seaplanes of the avi-
alton mechanics school and for small
boat drill. Owing to the lack of pro-
lection from the open lake the sea
planes are now unable to fly in rough

COMMISSIONER ]. ]. BROWN
DECLARES GEORGIA CROPS
AREALLN GOOD CONDITION

Declaring that the crops in Georgia
were in splendid condition, despite
the fact that there has been prac-
tically no rain in the state for the
past month, J. J. Brown, commits
sioner of agriculture, returned to his
Office in the capitol Saturday, after
an extensive trip around Georgia,
and gave out some interesting state
ments regarding crop conditions.
Mr.. Brown said that ne had visited
sections throughout central and
southeastern Georgia. He said that
in central Georgia there was a cry
ing need for rain; that the crops be-
tween Atlanta and Macon were prac-
tically burning up for lack of rain,
but that in southeastern Georgia and
along the coastal plains of the state
the crops were in splendid shape.
I'VE need rain might badly all
overtime state" said the commission
er, but I found that despite this
urgent need, the crops are in GOOD
shape, and indications are that
Georgia farmers will produce an ex-
cellent crop this year.
"The corn crop seems to be small
and spotty, meaning that its size is
irregular. On some farms, 1 found
that in certain spots corn was grow
ing nicely, but that in others 1t
seemed to be stunted. Lack of suf-
ficient rain is the reason for this"
Discussing the cotton crop, Mr..
Brown said that he found that quite
a number of farmers throughout the
state had p1owed up their crops and
were planting peas instead. He
said he believed the cotton crop
this year would be very small.
Georgia farmers, are going to
produce a world of foodstuffs this
year." he continued, lots of corn,
and other foodstuffs, and they aren't
going to raise a very large crop of
cotton.
II found that the boil weevil has
done a great deal of damage this
year in the state, and that in some
places the weevil has been so bad
that the farmers have plowed up
their stand of cotton and planted
peas instead"
Mr.. Brown said there was only one
way to eliminate the boil weevil
fro mthis country, and that was by
passing a federal law prohibiting
the raising Of cotton in the United
States for one year.
"That would be the only way in
which to eliminate the boil weevil,"
he said. Such a law would have
to be strictly enforced all over the
cotton belt, and the belt would have
to be thoroughly policed so as to
prevent any volunteer cotton from
growing. I believe that this would
exterminate this pest to cotton
growers
He added, however, that he did
not believe any such federal law
would ever be enacted, declaring
that it was too enormous a job to
be undertaken.

LLFEGUARD WEEDS WIDOW
AND MOVES TO MANSION

NEW YORK.-Eddie Zimmerman,
the handsome and brawny lifeguard
who has been one of the attractions
at Manhattan beach for years, has
been missing from his usual post.
In the huge mansion erected by the
late Cornelius A. Lane, Philadelphia
publisher, on a plot a block square
at Falmouth street and Hampton ave-
nue., close to Manhattan beach, a
friend of Mrs. Lanes is caring for
her six children and supervising the
staff Of servants.
Mrs. Lane is not there. In fact,
she is Mrs. Edwin H. Zimmerman,
and she and the bronzed beach idol
are on their honeymoon.
They were married at ST. Marks
Roman Catholic church in the
Sheepshead Bay section of Brooklyn.
The Rev. D. J. Mccarthy performed
the ceremony. Only the immediate
family and friends Of the bride and
bridegroom were present.
Friends of the bridegroom believe
that the beach has seen the last of
Eddie Zimmerman as lifeguard. In
applying for the marriage license he
gave his occupation as that of brok-
err, and it is believed that on his re-
turn from his wedding trip he will
take up in earnest the business OF
buying and selling securities, which
up to the time of his marriage he re-
garded is of secondary Importance to
his duties as lifeguard.
For fifteen years Eddie Zimmerman
had been a lifeguard, first at the
Brighton Beach baths, and, when
they burned, at the Manhattan
Beach baths. Although the homage
paid him by impressionable and i'm
pressionJstic young women was

Three Texas Boys Get
Trip to Europe at
Expense Of the u. S.

On their way to England for an
eight-weeks trip at the expense of
the United States government, three
Texas boys, Gilbert Wieting, Jack
Turner and Alva Debnam passed
through Atlanta Saturday accom-
panied by H. H. Williamson, state
agent of the extension service of the
A. & NJ. college of Texas, and I. w.
Hill. of the United States department
of agriculture.
The boys were the winners of a
stock judging contest held at the
Southeastern Fair in Atlanta last Oc-
tober. In competition with boys from
many states they were given first
prizes, which was the free trip to
England. p
The prize was arranged by the
United States department of agri-
culture, and the trip will include an
inspection of the Royal Livestock
show in England, and tour of that
country and other European coun-
tries for a study of the live stock
raising methods employed there. The
boys will stop in Washington two
days, where they will be greeted by
President Harding. and will sail from
New York for Liverpool on the
steamship Carmania, June Is.
While abroad the boys will visit
the Easton Stud at Chester, which
is under the administration Of the
duke of Eastminister. Major Morri-
sons herd at Reading, and Deatons
herd near Reading. They will visit
the isles of Jersey and Guernsey,
where they will see the native lands
of our two famous dairy breeds.
France, Belgium, Holland and Scot
land are included in the itinerary.

enough to turn the heads of mos
youths and render them insufferable
to their own sex, Eddie Zimmerman's
head proved to be pretty firmly set.
When the war came he enlisted in
the army air service, went to France,
won a commission and returned a
first lieutenant.
Last year his friends began to
have their doubts about his heart
though. That was when his devotion
to Mrs. Lane became apparent 1t
was on Eddie's tanned shoulder that
the youngest of the Lane children
generally rode home from the beach.
Eddie was frequently observed driv-
ing one of the Lane automobiles with
Mrs. Lane as passenger.
When Eddie failed to show up for
the holiday crowd Monday, those who
had noted his preference f?r the
Lane motor cars shook their heads
wisely.
Mrs! zimmerman's first husband
died from apoplexy Christmas eve,
1915. Her present husbands former
home was at 20 Glendale place,
Brooklyn.

Lenine Develops Liking
For Hunting Wolves and
Reads SociaIistic Books

REVAL, Esthonia, June 11.-Niko-
lai Lenine, head of the Russian Boil
shevik government, has recently de-
veloped a liking for wolf-hunting.
According to recent arrivals from
Moscow, Lenine in company with
Krilenko, one of the Red army lead
ers, has just returned from walk
drive at Zabidovo.
Those who know Lenine most in
timately declare that despite the nu-
merous crises through which he has
had to lead the Bolshekiv regime, he
is still perhaps the most cheerful
man in Russia"
l.umor by shielding himself closely
from detailed work when in his office
at the Kremlin, devoting his time to
the big problems Of government and
to the preparation of his speeches
and pamphlets in which he advocates
numerous changes from his old strict
communistic policy.
Between labor hours when in his
office he reads novels and socialiStic
works by foreign authors in the orig
inal French, English and German,
and also keeps in touch with the prin-
cipal works on other subjects.
1t is said that he continues to
have simply, in striking contrast to
"a number of minor Bolshevik officials
who occupy luxurious quarters. Len
inc and his wife have only few
rooms.
Mrs. Lenine, say those who know
her, disagrees quite strongly with
her husband on many political sub
|jects, being more of the social revo-
lutionist type, advocating slower
changes than Lenine's communism.
However, it is said they get along
splendidly.
