Young Grimes.
Though Grimes is dead, that good old
man,
His son. Young Grimes, you know;
He lives in a suburban house
That has a cupalo.
He is a light-complected man
From affectatiO free;
You may have seen him reading in
The public liberty.
Young Grimes is careful of his health
He's not an athalete:
lie wears a muffier round his neck
And arctics on his feet
4 chest protector, too. he thinks,
move precautionary,
For bronical attacks may come
In Jam or February.
His morning rolls and coffee slowed
Tile owns perculator)
He boards an livingston express
Upon the Elevator
Before he leaves he telephones
His grocer, Mr.. Fitch,
And orders spinnage reddishes,
And cramberries and SIGH.
An ardent moving picture fan,
He goes to every fillum.
Accompanied by a maiden aunt
Who lives near State and Ellum.
| might run on with this, if /
Had nothing else to do;
But other things Young Grimes would
do,
No doubt occur to you.

claring that eff it's the last thing

THIRD COUNTY GOES
over TOP IN DRIVE

With a third county officially over
the top in the Georgia cotton pool
campaign, and with the Victory
Week" drive in satisfactory prog
ress throughout the state, gaining
momentum every day, J. E. Conwell,
manager of the campaign, on Thurs
day predicted a sweeping success
within the time limit of the pool
contract, which. expires the first of
April.
Wheeler county on Wednesday re-
ported having signed 2,181 bales, or
more than double it's quota. Banks
county reached it's quota last week.
Hart county has signed over 10000
bales, which is more than half its
total production in 1920. Hart is
the home county of Campaign Man
ager Conwell, who is one of the lead
ing farmers of the county. Clarke
county is expected to reach it's quota
by Thursday night.
A dispatch from Columbia, S. c.,
received Thursday at campaign
headquarters, announced that cotton
produced on the public farms of the
state of South Carolina will be sold
in the cotton pool of that state. The
legislature passed a bill a few days
ago allowing the state institutions to
enter the pool, and Governor Cooper
signed it Wednesday.
The South Carolina pool contract
is identical with Georgia's, and both
state organizations will be federated
with the American Cotton Growers
exchange. A campaign is, now in
progress in South Carolina with ap-
proximately 100000 bales thus far
pledged.
From $4,000 to 10000 bales are
being signed daily by 1856 workers
in the seventy-two main cotton pro.
ducing counties.
Georgia's minimum quota in the
great cotton pool for cooperative
selling of cotton is 100000 bales. OF
that amount, about $4,000 had been
signed UP to last Saturday night.
The object fthe Victory drive"
this week is to secure the remain
ing $4,000 bales necessary.

REVISED BONUS BILL
IN HANDS OF HOUSE

WASHINGTON, D. c., March II.
The compromise soldiers bonus
bill, as finally revised, was intro
du Led today in the house by Chair
man Fordney, who submitted a ma
jority report from the ways and
means committee claiming these "ad-
va Itages of Plan OF bill:''
First, no rev 73xation, NJ issu-
ance of new secuI ties is at, present
required. s
Second it provides for theeveter-
an in need Of method Of Obtaining
aid .r.,
Third, the amounts required each
year after July 1, 1923, are small
compared to those which have here
tofore been met. and can be provid-
ed without any difficulties or de-
rangement of our financial situation.
"F 5urth, the plan tends to pro-
mote savings habits among the vet
ser1ns.
? Fifth, it protects the veteran him
self and his family from misfortune
in the future.
sixth, it will create a class of
home builders who will greatly in
crease the mass of property in the
country.
while perfect unanimity could
not be expected as to all details Of
the BILL" the report said, ''the ma
jority Of the committee believe that
the plan in general meets the APP
prevail of the soldiers and of all Of
those who are in favor of granting
to them additional compensation in
any form whatever"
A petition for a conference of Re-
publican house members for next
Monday night to consider the com.
promise soldiers bonus bill was put
in circulation today by Representa-.
tive Lineberger, of California, for.
mer service man, andl received a
number of signatures within short
time.
The movement to attempt election
of Speaker Gillette from his powerful
place in the house, should he block
a gag rule for the bonus, was calm
ing down somewhat today.
Those who yesterday planned in
secret for such an attempt were not
so certain that this unprecedented
, action could be "pIf across,' but
| the speaker will face the political
battle OF his career il he refuses
to allow the gag rule to be, pre-
scented.
Plans for conference with him
as soon as he returns from vaca-
tioning with President Harding were
maintained, however. This confer
eRce is destined to be the scene Of
some plain talk, whether or not it
leads to the drastic move of trying
to unseat the speaker. Mr.. Gillett.
it is assumed, will bring back some
of Harding's bonus views-views
against the present proposal, which
the pro-bonusers are not too keen to
hear. In fact, they rather resent
what they call Speaker Gillett's
''hobnobbing" with the chief execu-
tive, and they are frankly resentful
of administration attacks against
the bonus.

BIG COTTON POOL
To Be ORGANIZED
BY ALABAM|ANS

MONTGOMERY, Ala, March II.
Complete plans for the organization
OF a giant cotton pool in Alabama to
consist OF not less than 100000 bales,
by the Alabama Farm Bureau fed
erationS to be known as the Ala
bama farm Bureau Cotton associa-
tiG /, were announced here Wednes-
day:
Tie plan of procedure and the
operation of the organization, ac-
ording to the announcement, will
be, identical to that of the Tex Farm
Bureau Cotton association, organ
lied twelve months ago by the Tex
as Farm bureau and through which
the Texas farmers are receiving
from $40 to SIS per bale more for
t ir; cotton as a result of eliminat-
ing waste and SUBSTITUTING orderly
marketing for dumping. The chief
difference in the two plans is that
the Texas pool includes 100000 bales,
whereas the minimum for the Ala
BAN pool is only 100000 bales.
The proposition in Alabama is to
sign< at least 100000 bales by June
Ia of this year, which means that
10000 farms will sign the contract.
This being done, the Alabama Farm
Bureau Cotton association will be in
corporated and under the direction
of the board of directors, which will
b. elected by the members, with able
and = well-tr lined managers III
charge, it will become a big business
organization.
In their announcement, the OF
ficials of the Alabama farm bureau
make no claim as to blazing a., new
trail or setting a precedent. but
frankly admit that they will follow
proven methods found to be op
Grated by the Texas cotton grow
ers, who patterned their, organiza
ton after the California farmers
who several years ago applied coop
erative arketing to the sale o.
their fruits. nuts and other prod
ucts and have since become the mos
prosperous farmers in America. A
large part of the prosperity Of the
California farmers is admittedly due
to their cooperative marketing.
Like the successful organization
of Texas and California, the Ala
bama farm bureau organization will
be non-capital stock, non-product
organization of cotton itself for the
efficient and intelligent handling OF
same. It will be organized on a
strictly business basis with definite
and thoroughly outlined plans OF
procedure. e
