The Lakeland Georgia Club was the

The Lakeland delegation furnished
the band, the free lemonade and or

Idred of the approximate thousand on
the grounds were from Lakeland, and
nearly every line of business and
every profession had a representation
in the delegation.
A hundred or more left with the
band in the morning, others went an
hour or two later, and still others
set forth at noon after closing up for
Thursday half-holiday.
The cars were hammered with the
nature of the expedition, and Lake
land tags were provided for the mem
bers to fill in with their names and
former Georgia points of residence.
At Barlow a stop was made and
the Lakeland band rendered con-

After the arrival at the Springs,
many were beguiled into the clear,
cool waters for a refreshing swim
Others gathered in the pavilion to
listen to the band concert by the
Lakeland band, under the direction of
Arthur Davis. A movement to insti-
tute some oldtime Georgia dancing
was stopped on the plea that there
were preachers present.

TRUST NOT SMASHED

Washington.-Two years ago At
torney General Palmer announced
that he had smashed the meat trust
or, rather, that the meat trust agreed
to dissolve by signing a pledge that it
would release control of related pro-
ducts, such as groceries, etc.
Now it is found that the packers
have not fulfilled their agreement and
they are trying to have the agreement
modified.
1t is charged that far west fruit
growers associations, which is urg-
ing a modification, is controlled by the
packers.
The agreement has also resulted in
permitting the packers to escape
prosecution under the Sherman anti
trust law, as charged by the federal
trade commission two years ago.
The offenses are now outlawed under
the statutes of limitation.

Where Necessary, Labor
Will Place Candidates in
Field at Primary
Elections

Washington Organized labor is
called upon by the A. F. of L. execu-
tive council to prepare to go into the
primary elections everywhere. Where
necessary, labor will place candidates
in the field.
This decision is included in the ex-
ecutive councils instructions to la
bor's national non-partisan political
campaign committee to begin prepar-
alton for the coming congressional
and other elections and primaries. In
a public statement President Gompers
said:
''Under the action of the executive
council, and in conformity with A F.
of L. convention action, it is proposed
to go into the primary elections every
where to make certain that candidates
favorable to the rights and interests
of the workers are nominated. La
Dor will place such candidates in the
field wherever necessary. There is
unanimity upon this point among the
workers
1T need occasion no surprise if
there are in many districts candidates
placed in the field by labor as the
direct result of antagonistic attitudes
on the part of candidates in both re-
publican and democratic parties.
I'm the opinion of labor the pres
ent political and economic situation
makes imperative the most energetic
political action No draft of a pro
gram of political necessities will be
made prior TO the meeting of the
campaign committee, but it is certain
that emphasis will be placed on GER
tain outstanding issues which cannot
be evaded by any one. Among these
will doubtless be:
Unemployment, relief program
navy yards dismissals, injunctions
taxes, anti-union crusade, agriculture
compulsory tribunals, anti-conspiracy
laws, transportation
1t is gratifying to know that state
labor organizations are preparing fol
the coming campaign.

SUGAR TARIFF NO
AID TO FARMERS
Consumers Taxed for Benefit OF
Factories, Not Beet Growers.
WOOL BENEFITS QUESTIONED
Fair Tariff League Head Says 6eets

Crop.
Rx "A Z MILES.
BY n. I. MILES,
Chairman of the Fair Tariff League.

Chairman of the Fair Tariff League.
Sugar In the beet, the product or
the farm, is given a protection of $50
ad valorem in the Fordney Tariff Bill
now before Congress.
Refined sugar, the product OF the
beet sugar factory, is protected with
a specific rate equivalent TO from 300
to 1000 ad valorem on the basis of
present prices.
For example, the Michigan sugar
factory receives a prohibitive protec-
tion against the importation of the
product OF the Canadian sugar factory,
but the Michigan sugar beet farmer
receives practically no protection
against the Canadian sugar beet
In view OF this farmers are asking

$500 as the result OF the tariff on
sugar Half Of this goes to the Gov
ernment and half of 1t TO the beet
sugar manufacturer.
This Is true because we consume In
this country twice as much sugar as
we make, but the price OF sugar TO the
farmer is the Cuban price plus the
tariff But the farmer pays this price
on both the domestic sugar and the
foreign sugar Therefore the farmer
pays half OF this tax to the Govern
ment and half TO the manufactures of
beet sugar in this country.
Sugar Beets Minor Product
The farmer might feel that he was
getting some benefit out Of this II the
raising OF sugar beets was actually an
important American agricultural pur-
suit This, however, is not the case.
The crop acreage of sugar beets for
1920 was 692, ,455. The crop acreage
for peanuts was 1256,000 almost dou-
Bile the acreage devoted 10 the cultiya-
ton OF sugar beets.

RAIL BOARD CUTS PAY

Chicago.-The United States rail
road labor board has included 10000
stationary fremen and oilers in its
policy of extending the 1O-hour day
on railroads.
Formerly these workers were paid
time and one-half after eight hours.
Hereafter overtime will not apply
until the tenth hour. The board also
sets up a split trick" of eight hours
within spread of IL hours, without
overtime pay.
The boards new rules supplant the
national agreement made in January,
1920, during the period of federal
control.

Mankind, after passing through the
stone age, the bronze age and the
varying phases of civilization now
faces the dawn OF new era. Thomas
Edison, in a recent interview, declared
that we have entered into the Age Of
Chemistry and the remarkable achieve
ments OF laboratory workers serve to
substantiate this statement
It is difficult to prophesy how great
will be the contribution OF chemists
to our present civilization, but so
much has been accomplished and so
great is the expectancy that il IS evil
dent why thoughtful men are insist
ing that the public should be awak-
ened 10 a full knowledge Of the signih-
cance OF the science OF its national life.
The synthetic chemist has been able
TO produce practically all necessary
war materials and thousands OF arti-
cles invaluable in peace times, mostly
from coal tar, but it has only touched
the fringe of its ultimate development.
Synthetic foods and substances so
deadly as to make war impossible may
be expected from the researchers.
Edwin T. Slosson, in his splendid
book Creative Chemistry" quotes
one az the greatest French chemists,
Berthelot, as follows
The problem OF food is chemical

ishment his little nitrogenous. his pat
