 PLANTS MUCH CORN

Prattville, July l6,-tSpecial )-- There is more acreage planted In corn. in this county, for this year. than was last year, yet there is much doubt expressed whether the crop will be as large on account of tho prevailing drought that has been on for the last 10 weeks over many DOT tions of the county.
 The cotton, except in few in stances, has not been hurt yet by the drought, but the ravages of the boil weevil is plainly seen all over tSe county. The acreage here has been decreased about 20 per cent, and the fertilizers decreased about 30 per cent in quantity. and the two items will cause greatly reduced cotton yield in this county for the present year.

 No wonder the heat caused an other childrens crusade. This time the young people were out to re- duce the price of ice cream.

 Dreadful weather, however is no deterrent to people with purpose Hence this week has not hindered either the very good or the very bad.

Fight to Save Babies Through Pasteurized Milk Has Become a World
 Problem
By Associated Press

London. July tS.--A paper by Ma than Strauss of New York, dealing with the improvement of infant health conditions through the use Of pasteurized milk, was read by pr. 5. G. H Moore. health officer of Hud- dersfield. at the conference on in- fant welfare held here under the patronage of the King and Queen
 MT Strauss paper stated that it was his original purpose when the milk campaign was inaugurated 'n 1892 to check the ravages from sum . mer complaint which attacked in fants in their second summer. At that time, Mir Straus asserted, a large percentage of children sue cumbed from intestinal trouble in their second summer when the change was made from mothers milk to the infected milk of the cow
 Of 1.347,0Ss deaths in the United States in 1914. 27S,520 were of babies under two years, and 65,29s of these deaths were from intestinal lisor- ders mainly infectious diseases due to germs conveyed in milk" MT Straus paper stated.
 "As the germ theory became the subject of extensive scientific re- sesarches, it became evident that germs caused other diseases, in ad- dition to tuberculosis and intentional poison.
 Caused Germs in Milk "Typhoid, scarlet, diphtheria, scep- tic sore throat and measles; all these disease were found to be caused by germs in milk.
 "There are records of numerous CT i'd emics where it was officially es- tablished that the milk supply hac been the carrier of the germs The most striking of all was my experl'

assisted into the seclusion of the home. There were many there who saw with tears the evidence of his bodily weakness. As the years pass on and Woodrow Wilson leaves the scene, the American people will more and more recognize the purity of his motives, the grandeur of his achievements and the tragedy of his fate. Tn the largest and deepest sense his ideals will triumph be- cause they derive their vitality from the very heart of moral progress and the truest aspirations of enlightened humanity. As it happened with oth- CTS in our national annals, so will it be with him. His limitations and mistakes will be forgotten. his crit ics and enemies will disappear. but his services and his glory will sur vive. AS was said, 100 years ago. of another great American so in that day of vndication will it be said of him; 'WSheres6ever there is a heart that beats to the transports of liberty and patriotism, it's highest aspira- ton shall be to claim kindred with thy spirit"

poohed as a masked military ma neuver.
 This merely illustrates how little fairness may be expected in a gen eral disarmament discussion in which each nation will claim It's own arms are for legitimate defense and the maintenance of law and order, where as those of other nations are to be regarded as intended for unprovoked aggression.
 Many persons here regard Presi- dent Harding's move as a body blow to the League of Nations. and this comment will scarcely fail of justifi- cation if the league at this time steps aside on the question of disarma- = ment. By coincidence the dsarma- ment committee of the league is meeting here today. and the French delegates, headed by Rene Viviani, the chairman, have declared they will ask the committee to postpone it's activ- | ities pending the result of the Hard | ing conference. If the French sug gestion is adopted. the committee will 1 have to go before the league assem- | bly in October and confess that it re- trained from attempting anything out of deference to a rival organiza- | ton.
 Minor Nations The representatives of minor na- tions here do not make a secret of their opposition to such course since they have worked ardently in | the hope of accomplishing some thing l through the league, and do not fancy | leaving matters to the Washington conference, to which they were not invited
 The importance of their attitude may be realized when it is stated that. according to an American mili- | tary observer now in Europe, and who visited the countries in ques- ton, there are many good army or | ganizations among the small new states. He cited the Serbian as the best army in Europe today. The Czech, Rumanian and Polish armies are all much larger than Americas s and are well equipped.
 Premier Briand of France and Prime Minister Lloyd George of Grea, Britain, both anxious to attend ene Washington conference. may be de- tered by the newspaper criticism di- rected against them. If one goes however, both will go. That much seems certain.
 Trained Diplomats
 French critics believe that better results could be obtained at the con ference by trained diplomats than bs the premiers. who would constant, be talking for home consumption anc to further their own political ends It is feared the two premiers woulC be constantly outdoing or outstayint each other for newspaper publicity and would be trying always to score points rather than to reach an agree. | ment.
 However, granted the Irish ques ton Is disposed of, or quieted tenn porarily, Lloyd George, despite thu opposition of the Northcliffe peo ples, which says his reputation il America is tarnished, will probabl. go to Washington. Then Briand vii be obligedsto follow.

 T love him because of the enemies he has made" This famous remark fits Woodrow Wilson today. At least I received this impression from re- cent visit to Washington. It is not difficult to observe there the making of the Wilsonian legend. As it was with Lincoln, so will 1t be with his successor. First the achievements; then the martyrdom; finally the canonization.
 Anyone who visits the ex-Presi- dents new home at No 2340 $ street will find the evidence for himself, On the afternoon of Sunday May S., l passed two or three hours in that neighborhood with a watchful eye for Mir. Wilson's return from his daily ride During that time l was the in terested witness of surprising pill grimage. At short intervals they came, car after car, from the humble Ford to the lordly Packard each with it's load of representatives of the great American public bent on be- holding the home of their immortal leader For with Daniel Webster the ex-President has a right to say, T still live" It was plain that these people were not mere curiosity driven tourists. There was something in the scene that forbade such a paltry conclusion, an indefinable es- sence in harmony with the severe re- serve of a great personality, a spirit that had it's birth in the conviction that here lived one broken. but still similar pretorian guard was pooh indomitable who had dared and suf- fered greatly in the cause of America and humanity.

In a loosely contested game, Macon

afternoon by a score Of II to 2. The
features Of the game were the field

The Macon team has been consid-
erably strengthened by the addition
OF right-fieldtr Taylor and third

has become more consistent in hit
ting and shows marked improvement
IN their fielding ability Macon is
unfortunate in having to do without
the services of Jessie Guy who is

he will be able to assume his duties
as catcher in Fridays game against
