CIVILIAN FLYING
SHOWS AN INCREASE
TWELVE HUNDRED AIRCRAFT
OPERATED, COVERING DIS
LANCE OF 6,500,OO0 MILES.

CHICAGO.-Civilian flying in the
United States increased 20 per cent in
1921 over the preceding year, accord
ing to a review compiled by the Aero
nautical Chamber of Commerce Tor
the department of commerce at Wash
ington. Twelve hundred aircraft were
operated by civilians during the last
year, flying a total OF more than o.
100000 miles and carrying approx
mately 275,000 passengers. The hgures
are based on authenticated reports to
the Aeronautical Chamber OF Com
merce from all sections OF the country.
"In the last twelve months the avia-
ton has outgrown romance and is now
recognized as practical ar" says the
review. "The year was crowded with
important events, and government,
state, municipal officials and transpor-
tation experts are agreed that civilian
aeronautics must be developed for
peaceful transport and as reserve
arm of the national defense.
The United States air mail service
lin 1921 made such record for eff
cheney on the transcontinental route
that it is recognized as model for
civilian aerial transport the world over.
Letters have been delivered in New
York two days after casual mailing on
the Pacific coast. The service has an
average of 1882 per cent efficiency,
that is completed trips on scheduled
time, since it was started in 1918. The
air mail has during the last year COM
pleted its wireless communication sys-
tenn, the fourteen stations now hav-
ing radio plants, three operated by the
navy department and the others by
the air mail service Last February a
continuous flight, with night flying,
was made between San Francisco and
New York. Mail leaving the coast at
1850 p. M, February p, was delivered
in New York at 4:50 p. m, February

BIG PROFITS SHOWN
IN MEADE COTTON
NEW VARIETY OF LONG STA
PIE RAISED ON ST. SIMON'S
BY THE GOVERNMENT.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Agricultural lead
ers are pointing to the fact that
Meade long staple upland cotton is a
new variety OF long staple cotton de-
veloped and recommended by federal
and state agricultural departments as
the best substitute for sea island cot
ton.
This staple may be successfully
grown anywhere in the coastal plain
section OF Georgia, Alabama, Florida
and South Carolina, and is regarded as
the most profitable variety Of cotton
to grow under boil weevil intestation.
According to cotton men the Meade
variety will sell for about two and
one-haf times the price OF short cot
ton; it will mature as quickly as short
staple cotton and it will yield as much
under boil weevii conditions as short
cotton.
The growing of Meade cotton is not
an experiment, it is stated. 1t has been
grown in widely separated sections of
the cotton belt for Several years. In
1921 w. w. Croxton, T. G. Chas-
tain and w. r. Tucker produced AS
bales on 80 acres on their St. Simons
Island farm, near Brunswick, Ga.
This cotton, it is stated, was grown
from seed furnished by the U. S. bu-
reau of plant industry, under the direct
supervision of its cotton experts and
no other variety of cotton was grown
on the island. The length of staple
ranged from one and a quarter to one
and three-quarters inches and graded
extra choice The highest price paid
for Meade long staple cotton. by Sa-
vannah factors was from SO to 40
cents, the ruling price.
1t is stated here that Meade cotton
has been a great success wherever it
has been grown and the variety brings
a premium

Stormy Year Ahead for
The Country's Railroads
Wage Reductions of S2oo,oOO,OOO to
Be Asked. Unions Look for Trouble

The railroads will food the Uuited
States railroad labor board with APP
plcations for reductions of wages for
all classes of employees early this year,
according to present prospects. The
onslaught on present wages will at
tempt to. cut $200,000,000 from pay
envelopes, it was said.
The issue is rapidly coming to a
head through failure of the roads and
employees to come to an agreement
on wages. Virtually every class A
carrier in the United States has noti-
fed employees of impending cuts. With
this situation 1922 will be featured, ap-
parently, by as bitter series of con-
troversies between the railroads as was
1921.
The carriers were victorious in sew
eral major engagements during the
last year, and the chiefs of the big
Five" brotherhoods and the American
Federation of Labor railroad depart
ment have modified forces to seek
better terms during the coming year.
They threaten to use the strike vote
taken last September, when walkout
was narrowly averted, if wage nego-
tiations go against them when the con-
troversy is adjudicated before the
board

MISS ALICE HAS DEFIED
THE WOMAN'S PARTY
SECOND WOMAN SEATED IN
CONGRESS ALIGNED WITH
OLD LINE POLITICIANS.

TULSA. Okla.-Miss Alice Robert
son. of Oklahoma, the second woman
to occupy a seat in the national house
OF representatives at Washington, has
established the record of defying the
orders of the feminists bloc in con-
gress and aligning herself with the old
school politicians. The break OF Miss
Robertson through the prejudice
against women in politics has Justi-
fed the experiment, according to the
republican leaders.
Upon a record as consistently re-
publican as that of the late Senator
Penrose, Miss Robertson intends sub
hitting herself to the electorate OF her
state and ask reelection. The night is
going to turn upon the question wheth-
er her record opposed to welfare and
social reform, advocated by the lem
inists' group, will commend itself to
sufficient voters, democrats and repuD-
licans alike. to overcome the agrees
sive opposition OF the woman's party
Women Will Oppose Candidacy
The campaign will be unique in that
it will find the women who are organ
lied under the woman's party hghtlng
one of their own solely because she
refused to follow the dictates OF the
woman's party, and fought the mater
nitv bill. But Miss Robertson IS go
ing directly to the people in her rec
ord and she is prepared to defend 1t,
She says that she wants the votes
OF the women, not because she IS
woman. but because she has tried to
vote for the best interest not only OF
her own state but the nation. In her
campaign she will have the active sup
port as speakers of leading men OF
the house. Senator Lodge, republican
leader of the senate, has promised to
make a speech in her behalf II oppor-
tunity offers.
Not of Modern Progressive Type.
There is nothing of the new woman
about Miss Robertson. She has moth
ing of the advanced idea in living or
thought. She condemns the very short
dress and holds that the modern wo-
man is not doing as much Tor the
country as the older mothers who were
distinctly home makers. In a word, the
second woman member OF the house
is not progressive, politically, socially
or religiously. When. asked II she
would run for congress again, she re-
piled:
Surely; does not one good term de-
serve another? Doesn't freshman al
ter all the hazing and discipline OF that
class look forward with joyous antic1-
patton to promotion? | think ! have
a fighting chance for another term or
| would not consider it at all.

NEW YORK.-Ten years have add =
ed from one source-o approximate

pronounced rise in the value OF all
STANDARD Oil securities to figure the
value OF various units of the Standard
Oil company, compared with Deem

auguration OF independent operations.
Since the dissolution decree OF the
United States supreme court, it de

posed the original Standard Oil Com
pany have appreciated $2,26l 100000 in
market value and now are figured at
$2,865 100000. At the time of the dis
solution OF the company the Rookie
Teller family owned 80 per cent of the

The Island of Scroll Is

Huts Occupied by Small Band of Ma

WOLEA Isl.-In a lonely part of
the Pacific, 800 miles from zap, is the
desert island of Sorol. One year ago It
was a prosperous little community OF
"a persons; today it has no inhabitants.
Last December Sorol was swept by
one of the fiercest typhoons' ever re-
corded in the Carolines. The waves
washed over the little island and the
natives were forced to take refuge on
a little strip of high land, where they
dashed themselves to the stumps. OF

homes drift out to sea. The storm last
ed for two days, and when it subsidized
there was not boat nor a stick OF
timber on the island.
For the next two months they lived
on shellfish and cocoanuts, but some
OF the children died of starvation. The
arrival of Japanese steamer on its
bi-monthly trip around the islands was
all that saved the handful left.
They were taken to zap, where they
were allotted land to cultivate.

Illegal to Pay Officers
Costs From County Funds
Judge Eve, of Superior Court, Rem
ders Important Decision.

Triton, Ga.-A decision OF more
than local interest has been rendered
by Judge Eve in an injunction pro-
ceeding from Turner county, and will
affect the payment Of court costs in
many of the other counties OF the state.
The 1920 session OF the general as
sembly passed a special act providing
that the sheriff and clerk OF the supe-
rior court Of Turner county and the
sheriff and clerk of the city court OF
Ashburn should be paid out OF the
county treasury costs in criminal cases,
where defendants were convicted and
sent to the Turner county Changing.
Petition for injunction to prevent such
payment was brought on the ground
that a state law provided that such
costs should be paid out OF the fines
and forfeitures fund, and that this spe-
cial act was in conflict with the gen
eral law. Judge Eve held that this act
was unconstitutional in so lar as 1t
applied to the sheriff and clerk OF SUI
perior court Of Turner county, because
of its conflict with an existing general
law
