PRES. AMERICAN
GAS ASSOCIATION
MAKES ADDRESS
PROGRESS IN MANUFACTURES OF
GAS Is GAINING-CHEAP-
EST FUEL. THAT Is
0BTAINABLE.

| CHICAGO, Nov. 9.--Problems in,
volving revolutionary changes in tn,
gas industry, upon which half of the
country's population depends for fuel
for cooking, heating and lighting, will
be discussed at the annual convention
of the American Gas Association
whose formal sessions open tomor-
row with 1000 delegates attending.
Among the questions to come up
are those Of ability to finance great
amounts of new construction such as
would aid in relieving the unemploy-
ment situation, possibility of extend
ing unlimited gas service to indus
try and homes for heating, elimina-
tion of the smoke nuisance Of cities
through abolishing use of solid fuels,
methods of believing the industry of
hampering rate and service standards
such as restrict progress, and con-
servation Of coal and oil resources
of the nation.
Charles A. Munroe, OF Chicago
president of the association. will be
the principal speaker at the opening
session. Much interest centers In the
report of the industrial fuel COM
mittee, which for year has been
making an exhaustive study Of the
heating problems of the nation.
Optimism regarding the outlook for
general business is seem in the "style
show" at which more than 100 of the
leading manufacturers of gas equip
ment Of the country are exhibitors,

NEW YORK, Nov. 9. - One state
kentucky, passed from Republican te
Democratic control as a result of yes

the Democrats increased their control
IN both houses Of the legislature by
eIecting the entire lower house and
thirteen out of twenty seven mem
bers of the Senate.
Mrs. Harry Flanery, of Cattleburg
apparently won the honor of being
The first woman elected to the Ken
tuck legislature.
New Jersey Republicans claimed to
have elected forty one assemblymen
out of a total of sixty seats contest
ed and asserted that the party line
up In the senate will be unchanged,
fifteen Republicans and six Demo-
Gratis. The wet and dry issue played
d prominent part in that state, the
Republicans standing for strict en-
forcement of the prohibition act,
while the Democrats favored modifi-
cation or repeal,
Secretary of State Smith, Of Ohio,
expressed the opinion that the propo-
sal for issuance of $25, 100000 in state
bonds for payment of the soldier
bonus, will carry in that state by
500, 900 votes.
Ten persons were reported killed
and near score wounded in the

counties, Kentucky, and in the city
Of Louisville.

on the gin weights which are given
as 502,5 pounds this year on Nov. Ist
as 502.5 pounds this year on Oct Is.
as against 511.2 pounds last year on
No. LIST and 563,4 pounds in 1919.
This shows weights about nine pounds
higher than last years or about two
per cent but they run about even
with 1919 when total ginnings were
11,326,000 bales.
The size of crop that might be de-
duced from today's ginning figures
depends altogether on views as to
percentage ginned to Nov. LIST, which
last year was 56.7 per cent and In
1916 75,9 per cent. A percentage Of
IS this year would point to a crop
around 100000 bales which seems
about the maximum that could be
argued as theretis hardly agquestion
that the ginning percentage is great
er than any previous record.
Census department says the
weights and bales on which the aver
ages are based relate to cotton gin
ned in the several agents districts
and were explained by them from the
records Of buyers, merchants and 9th
ers who have actual weights of each
years growth.
Weights are returned for 2,384,818
bales in 1921, 2,970,624 in 1920 and
2,946, ,967 in 1918. Weights as rule
decrease somewhat as the season pro-
crosses.

ORIGINAL GAME
Law BN FORCE
Is Ruling OF The Attorney Gener.
ais Office OF Mississippi
Confusion Is Cleared.

! JACKSON, Miss, Nov. s.-owinO
70 some MISUNDERSTANDING of the
ruling of the attorney generals Of
flee on the game laws there is still
some apparent confusion in many
counties. This trouble started in 1916
when the Legislature undertook to
create new game and fish depart-
ment with general regulations which
practically repealed the old law as set
out in the code of 1906. For long
time the new law was enforced, but
the supreme court held the law un.
constitutional. This left the code
chapter of 1906 still in effect, though
some lawyers held contrary view.
In many counties the boards of sup
ervlsors had adopted regulations un-
der the code chapter, and after the
law of 1916 was declared unconsti-
tutional, the question arose as to the
validity of these former orders of
the boards. On this subject the at
torney generals office, in an opin-
ion of Attorney General Lotterhos,
holds that the code chapter is still in
force, and that orders of the board
of supervisors which were valid under
that chapter are still valid. The op-
inion says.
"Fhis department has held that the
original game laws are still in force,
Notwithstanding the act of 1916,
which was submitted to referendum.
| inclose a copy of that opinion.
"The supreme court, in Keel VS.,
Board of Supervisors, 8S So., page
625, in passing upon a regulation of
the board of supervisors, preventing
the use of certain nets in taking fish,
gives recognition to the game laws
in the code of 1906. And the Legis-
lature seems to have in mind the
continued validity of the game laws
existing prior to 1916, from the fact
that in chapter 199, from the laws of
1918, reference is made to section
1904 of the code Of 1906.
Therefore, ] am Of the opinion that
if the ordinance Of your board was
valid at the time of its enactment
it continues good to this time. If it
were re-enacted by the board at this
time it might serve to obviate the
necessity for contending over ques-
tions Of validity that might be raised
in case of prosecution.
However, ! consider it as valid
now as it was when enacted, If it has
not been amended by the board"
