 Encourage League
 Referring to the League of Nations he said 1t had worked under great difficulties, but had not done so badly and that his government would cer- tainly give 1t scope for more effec- tive action. He added that he had declared in a previous address that the British navy must be kept intact, but that he believed. the matter of national defense was being trans- ferred to the air.
 Referring to his prede aessor, he said: Lloyd George is man of amazing energy and astonishing vii tality. Every difficult question at home or abroad he undertook to deal with himself. I cannot do that, and If had the strength of Hercules and the wisdom of Solomon I wouldn't try to deal with them that way"
 MT. Bonar Law characterized the labor party's program as amazing" If 1t had been a question of policies the laborites would not have had a ghost of chance. He was confident the unionist party would have been in the majority because the people knew that the pledges made by the labor party were nonsense

Macon, November 4.-R. F. Mills, chiropodist, who was Kidnapped in the fashionable section of this city early tonight. reached his home at mid night, and was in such condition that doctors were summoned to his home.
 Mills was taken from his auto- mobile as he was driving home to- night, according to statement by his wife, who said their two children were left in the machine. Mrs. Mills neared their home in a fashionable section of Macon 8 big touring car ran past him and blocked the street, was called to the larger machine, forced into it and that the big car then drove away with her husband, leaving the children.
 A year ago Mills was similarly seized and taken into a graveyard and severely horse whipped, accord Ing to reports to the sheriff's office at that time. It was said that the men were masked on the first occa- sion. but tonight, Mrs. Mills said, they wore no masks.
 Mills never made any explanation of the previous whipping, and his wife knew of no reason for tonight $ Kidnapping, she stated.
 According to Mrs. Mills, her hus- band has been armed ever since the previous affair, but she thought he was thrown off his guard tonight when the men who carried him away explained at first that they were looking for another man.
 Mills was badly beaten over the head, physicians say.
 At his home while physicians worked over him, Mills said the kid napers tried to hang him. but gave up the job after beating him over the head.

FIREBUG MAKES
 SUCCESSFUL HAUL
While Occupants of House Fight Flames Thief Se- cures Purse and
 Money

Ffrebug activities were nenewed tn Birmingham last night about II o'clock. when the residence of 0. c. Frye 142s Whitticher street, was fired by the vandal and in. the excite ment that followed. he obtained s25 in currency from the purse of Mrs. Frye. The blaze which was con- fined to a window shade and curtain was extinguished by male members of the family without calling out the fire department.
 Detectives lc. F. Mccombs and H. C. Jones who answered the call to the scene eylearned that the occupants of the house were all in bed when the thief opened fis operations by cutting away the screen and ignit- ing the curtain, Frye stated to the officers that he was awakened by noises on the outside of his residence and by the sound of the cracking flames of the burning window shade.
 Without A thought of the possibil- ities of the firebug being responsible for the deed Frye said that he awak- ened members of the household and launched an attack against the flames. which was successful due to his quick action. During the time the family were fighting the flames evidently the thief slipped into the bedroom from the front door, which was opened and after obtaining the money made a quiet exit.
 An hour later. a thief made sue cessful haul from a second story bed room of the residence of F. II. Lee, 1037 Thirty-first street, south, where he obtained $51 in currency. En- trance was gained to the second story of the building by, his using a light ladder obtained from nearby house that was being constructed. All the occupants of the Rouse were on the lower floor of the building at the time of the robbery.
 Call Officers F. P. Jones and F. Il. Smith answered the call and in their investigation found the rifled pocket book of Mrs Lee in the alley way, with all papers and other matter contained in the poclSetbook laying out on the ground, where they had been discarded by the thief.

 The governor. like many others, seems to think that women are not capable of assuming responsibilities in official positions.

 'The political shackles have been time that men should realize that they should be given an equal share in the distribution of the affairs of cur government. l believe that when a woman renders the same service as a man she should receive equal compensation and so far as my voice and efforts extend shall insist up- on giving them this equal showing whether she be my daughter or some one else's.

CROPS SHORT AND
 PRICES ARE HIGH
Cotton About PiCked-Pea- nuts Bring Good Price.
 Farm Labor Cheap
By FRED H. G0RMLEY Montgomery Bureau. The AKe-IIernId, Z2I-2 Flrat National Bank Building

Montgomery, March 4.-tSpecia1.) A most interesting statement re- garding crcp conditions in Alabama in general and dealing also with farm labor and livestock. was issued Saturday by F. W. Gist. agricultural statistician. The statement follows
 Prices on peanuts as well as cot ten continue to advance. Reports from Washington. dated November l. say that the crop in the south eastern district is much shorter than expected. Prices are steadily advance ing. Some sales are reported at, $90 ton,' while many mills are paying $100 for Spanish peanuts. Mills are offering s70 and $50 for runners. The crop is not moving fast aa many ship pers are holding for top prices.
 Another week of perfect working weather has gone by during which the harvest has continued uninter- ruptedly. Cotton picking Is nearing completion in the middle sections and in the nortEe0 counties is ap- preaching the end. It is still too dry in many sections for fall blowing and sowing. It is doubtful if wheat sowing will come up to the area of last year and the acreage to fall oats will probably be some shorter unless sowing nay be accomplishs ed within the next few weeks"
 Representatives of the United States Department of Agriculture, after studying at first hand the sit uation In Europe express the opinion that the buyer over the-e instead of anticipating his needs and buy ing when cur stuff Is ready foi mar ket, Is using his own supplies first and waiting until they are exhausted before coming to. our market. If this is true 1t would suggest careful marketing of cur supplies to prevent undue profits in farm prodrcts by the interests who by up now to sell abroad later.
 Farm Labor Cheap
 study ct the trend of wages shows that farm labor, like farm commodities, Is selling for less rel attNely than all other classes. Com pared with raj road labor, farm wages are now 133 per cent cf 1913, while railroad wages are now 199 per cent. Railroad wages have fallen about II per cent since 1920 while farm wages have dropped 3s per cent.
 There may be some compensation Tn the fact that in this state farm CTS are dolnS their own work, while the drift of the hired man to other llnes may increase tho demand for Iarm products and ultimately raise their prices.
 Some of the theory about inferior ity of grass fed beef has recently been exploded In Montgomery. Grass Ted cattle shown at the Fat Stock show recently have been killed and brought to the table. It dressed out to excellent proportions and when served gives complete satisfaction,
 IT the supreme test Is ability to eat the whole steak, this meat is good beyond question. Of course this meat came off a good pasture and one which was continuous in its feeding capacity. It is unquestion- ably proven that good beef can be grown on pasture alone and of course the profit Is excellent"

 As a result of the general atmos- phere of the Washington conference, MT. Hughes said, China and Japan had found it possible Ito settle the serious Shantung controversity," al- though that question was not a part of conference proceedings.
 That settlement, he added, lis now being carried into effect.
 No cry of the afflicted. from any quarter of the world, hld gone un- needed In America. Aid in European economic recuperation had been iav- ishly extended" Mir. Hughes said, adding;
 But we cannot change the cher lshed policies of European states. These policies have their background in history, and have their sxplana- ton in national convictions, with re- spect to the requirements # national safety and national aspirations. There is now an intense feeling of nationalism in Europe, which is readily explained, and this In each case gives aim to national endeavor and determines national policies 4s to European questions,

 The American policies to which I have referred will gain nothing by L~1.

We have a great influence for peace and helpfu1ness in this world, and we propose to preserve 1t and the best way to preserve it is to maintain our own delft American position un- confused and unobscured."
 Mir. Hughes reviewed the 20 months of President Harding's' administra- ton. saying he thought 1t flair to say that no one would have sup posed that as much could be accom- plished in that period as has been achieved under the present adminis- tration." He added that he was Rldu or the opportunity OIl atLrinuL- Ing the gains made to the "wise high minded. indegatiguable and statesmanlike endeavor of the Presi- dent of the United States" The Pres- ident, he said, had given us effec- tive and constitutional leadership.

SAYS REFINERS MADE
GASOLINE AT A LOSS
X. L. Welch Declares They
Had No Price Agreement.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Opening its in
quiry into gasoline prices the Senate
Manufactures Committee was told to-
day by r. l.. WEIGH, secretary and coun-
sci OF the American Petroleum Institute.
that refiners in the United States as
whole had produced gasoline and other
petroleum products at a loss since late
in 1920. The recent declines in gaso-
line prices were attributed by the wit
ness to reductions in crude oil values.
Mr.. WEIGH declared that oil refiners
shave gone through the most disastrous
period in their history In the last eight
cen months" He told the committee
that in his opinion the refining industry
would show a substantial loss IL the re-
suits of the business were averaged
since its inception.
The maintenance OF the market in
crudes, said Mr.. WEIGH, was due to an
apprehension that production in some Of
the Mexican fields was due for rapid
decline.
Chairman McNary inquired IL there
had been, in the opinion or the witness
any understanding among the purchas-
ing companies which had resulted in the
drop. and Mr.. WEIGH replied he did not
believe that any combination existed
anywhere.
