been customary for the governor to
act on all bills before adjournment

on the subject seems to limit the gov

POPPIES WENT

Quota OF 500 Sold Be
fore II A. NJ. BY
Ladies

Mrs. Lawson Stapleton. president
of the Woman's Auxiliary of the
Americus American Legion, is re-
joicing in a very great happiness to-
day because the sale of poppies which
had been entrusted to her by head
quarters of the organization went
over the top today by IL o'clock.
The committees which had been
appointed by her last week met her
this morning at $3.50 o'clock at the
Alcazar to receive their quota of pop
pies for distribution, and by 11:00
o'clock there was not a poppy left,
many of them having been sold over
and over again. The ladies of the
committee are overjoyed at the sue
cess of the sale of flowers, and are
congratulating Mrs. Stapleton on the
splendid manner in which the sale
was conducted.
A few poppies will be sold this eve
ming at the doors Of the Carnegie
library when the final memorial ex-
ercises take place. The poppies for
sale are. those which have been turn
ed over again to Mrs. Stapleton by
persons who bought them this morn
ing on the streets. The resale of
the flowers will enable the men,
bers of the John D. Mathis Post here
to wear a flower this evening dur
/ ing the concluding exercises.

sales to the corporation, as every bor-
rover was obliged to pay per cent
on his loan, and take stock for it.
This would soon pay back the fifty
millions.
And this you'd soon give the Ag-
ricultural Foreign Trade Financing
Corporation a capital stock far ex-
ceeding the original fifty millions.
The corporation would be empower
ed from the first to issue debentures
to the amount of ten times its capi-
tai stock, and soon its operations
would extend into billions.
They would move the crops. They
would feed the hungry. They would
start the European peoples at pro-
ductive work. They would thaw our
farm credits. They would start the
whole system of American industries
into operation. All we need is a
start, and things will move. Why
not start in a way which will cheer,
and illumine the world? Why not
do it now?
Carl Vrooman, who handled the
"gift-corn" enterprise, is the pro-
ponent of this measure. 1t is real
iy the result Of the insight he got
into the credit situation in that

worthy work.
Vrooman says that we must have
"a foreign market or post mortem." !"
He says, and truly, that while
these foreign countries have no mon
ell with which to buy our products,
"they have lands, forests, mines, fac
tories and mills. as sound basis
for longtime credits"
How Bushel Grows in Value.
And they have more. They have
labor. A bushel of corn which in the
hands of the farmer is worth only
few dimes, when it gets to the Eu
ropean consumer in the form of high
grade products, is worth from 10 to
IL dollars.
And wool and cotton, how they
grow in value all along the line un-
der the magic touch Of labor!
The Agricultural Foreign Trade
Financing Corporation will take Sc
curity on whatever the buyers have
to put up, including in many cases,
the exports themselves as they in

WASHINGTON. May 30.-A ma

never failing to measure up to the
demands of advancing civilization
was pictured by President Harding
as the ideal America today in his
Memorial Day saddress at Arlington
National cemetery.
American heroes of every war, the
president said, had accomplished far
more than the immediate ends for
which they had fought, because they
had helped to erect and preserve a
shrine for the liberty-loying of ev-
cry race.
He declared the whole mission Of
America would become an unrealized
dream if this heritage ever were sac
rificed s,

measure up to the demands present-
ed in the behalf Of humanity, and it
never WILL" the president said.

almost a foregone conclusion that
Miss Stirling would have had to meet
Miss Leitch at some time during the

preliminary matches. By many it
was judged an advantage for Miss
Stirling to meet the champion on the
first day, as it would give her a great
lead should she put the champion cut
it would afford psychological ad-
vantage not to be gained otherwise,
whereas if she should lose The open

WORLDCOTTON
CONFERENCE OF
GREAT IMPORT
Liverpool Meeting To
Handle Problems AT
fectinq Growers
BY MILTON BRoNNER


LONDON, May 30.-The second
world cotton conference, which meets
in Liverpool June 13 to Is, and in
Manchester June 16 to %, is of tre-
mendous Importance to American
cotton growers and American textile
plants.
The United States is expected to
send 1870 delegates and close to that
many will come from India and
Egypt. Britain, of course, will have
the largest number, Belgium, France,
Italy, Japan, Norway, Sweden, Portu
gal, Switzerland, Holland, Brazil and
Spain will also be represented.
The movement was launched by
Americans at the first world confer
ence at New Orleans two years ago.
A third meeting, two years hence,
is in prospect with Switzerland bid
ding for it.
Important Reports.
The best technical brains in Brit
ain have been employed in writing
papers and reports for the instruc-
ton of delegates. CT intensest in
terest to the American cotton plant
ers will be a report by w. II. Him
bury, general manager of the Brit
ish Cotton Growing Association,
whose capital is $2,000,000, sub
scribed largely by Lancashire cotton
manufacturers.
The Himbury organization employ
ed American cotton planters and ex-
perts from American agricultural
colleges to show how to grow cotton
on the American plantation principle
in various British colonies.
Lancashire has already benefited
by 100000 bales of colony cotton
And the expectations are to increase
this by SO per cent this year.
1t is estimated that in time Africa
and Mesopotamia can raise three and
half million bales.
Albert Thomas, a Frenchman, who
is director of the International La
Dor Office under the League of Ma
tions, will present report on hours
of work in the textile industry. He
will show that the 48-hour week is
almost universal in Europe, with the
exception of Holland, where it is AS
hours, and Austria, where those un-
der 18 may work only "A hours.
Britain varies from "A to 49 hours
the United States from SO to 81
hours.
For Good or EVIL.
"The coming conference" says Sir
Charles Macara, the biggest man in
the British cotton business, includes
mot only growers and manufacturers,
but the cotton exchange men, ma
chinery makers and other subsidiary
interests whose prosperity all de-
pends upon the cotton industry.
THE power of the conference for
good or evil depends upon the man
ner in which it is handled.
"My policy always has been to live
and let live and to want all interest!
/ in the cotton industry to have theil
remuneration for labor and enter
prise. Legitimate middlemen are
vital necessity. They perform tre
mendous service in financing opera
tions."

1t took jury in Superior court
twenty minutes Monday forenoon to
reach a verdict, stretch their legs,

turn to the court room in the case
of William Johnson. colored, charged
with assault with intent to murder as
a result of his attack a few weeks
ago on Police Officer ]. N. Worthy
when the latter was severely slashed
on the neck by the negro The ver-
dict as at first returned provided for
d penalty of 10 years, the maximum
under the law, but Judge Little
john sent the jurors back, instruct
ing them that the law demanded the
fixing of maximum and minimum
sentence. The verdict then return
ed provided not less than years and
six months and not more than 10
years, which was the sentence of the
court.
The negro, who suffered a broken
leg at the time of the encounter
when he and the , officer tumbled
from the second story porch while
clinched after the cutting, was in
court, his lep having healed. The of
ficer also was in court. Little testi-
mony was ,atrocuced beyond proof
of the occurrence.
