EVERYTHING READY
FOR 5OO-MILE RACE
CARS PRACTICE FOR GRuELLINa

MOTOR SPEEDWAY, WE'D
NESDAY, MAY 30

The racing world is all agog with
intensive practice under way for the
500-mile race at the Indianapolis
Motor Speedway. which will be held
as usual Wednesday, May 80.
The most successful race course in
the world staging the worlds greatest
sporting event at which 10000 peo-
pie viii attend is maelstrom OF ac-
tivity In preparation for the big
event.
The new racing cars to conform
to the regulations obtaining TO the
race this year are pigmy in size when
compared with the large juggernauts
of former years, yet they are just as
rapid, If not faster than their pre-
decessors Of speed. Piston displace.
ment OF the cars is 122 cubic inches
compared with 1873 for the past three
years, and 500 cubic inches OF the
early races on the Indianapolis
course.
Dave Lewis, who will drive one OF
the Scheel-F'rontenac creations built
by the famous Louis Chevrolet, fea,

on to Indianapolis to get set for the
big drive.
The foreign pilots have plans com.

speedway and have garages on the
back stretch, faraway from the
stables of the other pilots
There is intense rivalry between
the two continents in the race this
year because the racing laurels have
fallen on American manufacturers
and drivers in the past three years

methods by which cooperative enter
prises have been successfully estab-
lished and maintained. 1t also has
prevented trade unionists from ven
turing into cooperative enterprises
which were in the main stock -jobbing
or exploiting organizations.
The American Federation of Labor
is strongly inclined to the principles
of the Rochdale system of co-opera-
tion which has been SO successful in
European countries. While the CO.
operative movements thus far encour-
aged have related more particularly
to distributive functions, there is a
marked demand for productive and
financial cooperative enterprises.
Indeed, during the past year ten
trade union banks have been estab-
lished and more are in process of for
nation. Then, too, coal mines and
other productive enterprises have
been entered into by trade unions and
trade unionists on a cooperative
basis.

CHAPTER 5

With the constant growth and rapid
extension of the functions of the
American Federation of Labor, it was
found necessary to create several bu-
reaus and permanent committees, each
to deal with some special problem and
activity At the present time the
American Federation of Labor main
tains publicity and information ser
vice, legislative committee, non
partisan political campaign commit
tee, committee on cooperative So

Importance of Education

Education has always been regard
ed by the American Federation of La
Dor on the basis of a permanent and
responsible growth of the trade union
movement Education is, indeed, an
integral part of the trades unions.
Historically the interest of the
American Federation of Labor dates
back to the championship of our free
public school system. Perhaps no
other influence contributed more to
the development of our free public
school system. These educational in
stitutions have ever been under the
most vigorous scrutiny of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. The inter
est of the trade unions relates not
alone to the interests of the students,
but includes that of the teachers and
professors. The activities of the
American Federation Of Labor cover
the grammar and higher schools, as
we'll as colleges and universities and
embrace text books, studies, classes,

SWISS DAIRY COLONY
MAY CONE T0GE0RGIA
Georgia Association Now Nego-
tiating With Secretary Of
Swiss Farm Organization

ATLANTA, March 16.-Neg0tia-
tions that may result i'm bringing a
colony Of Swiss dairy farmers to
Georgia have been opened between
w. H. Abbott, secretary OF the GeOT-
gia. association, and the secretary of
the Switzerland association for
colonization, it was announced by
Mr. Abbott Thursday on his return
to Atlanta from a tour through south
Georgia.
The opening of negotiations, MIR.
Abbott stated, is a result of the assoc
cations activities in introducing
Georgia to visitors at the farm bu-
reau convention here in Noyembel
1921 II. Bretscher, secretary Of the
Swiss Milk Producers association,
was delegate to the convention and
whih here was the guest of the Geor-
gia association on a tour Of south
Gengia. He was much impressed
with the possibilities offered by the
section for supporting an extensive
dairy Industry and since his return
to Switzerland has been correspond
ing with Mr. Abbott.
"The arrangements we have made
with the cooperation of Georgia
bankers and business men, for carry
ing cut the associations program
for land settlement and for dairy
development will be of inestimabie
value in bringing immigrants to
Georgia" Mr.. Abbott stated.
q have written the colonization
gecretary that Swiss experienced in
daifying can find ample opportunity
fors profitable work in cheese and
butter-making here in Georgia. They
wilE be assisted in getting started by
Ge6rgians familiar with the work
and will find a ready spirit oil CO.
operation on the part of Georgia
bankers and business men. Should
we sbe successful in closing negotla-
tons to bring a colony of Swiss to
Georgia, the colony would probably
include laborers, tenant farmers
and number of men Of sufficient
capital to purchase farms and stock
their own"
Mr.. Abbott expressed himself as
much pleased with the outlook foi
carrying forward the Georgia asso-
ciafion's land settlement program.

She was, according to a complaint

the child that she might tell her

she believed the possession of a

The story:
Mrs. r. c. Graham, Cybur, Miss,

required his almost continual abb

no friends in Natchez. So no visi-

The visitor called herself Mrs.
Gibson. She said she lived at Vicks-

baby home with me?" the new friend
finally asked. "I'H care for her I'M

The mother was reluctant. Then
she decided, mother-like, to consider

it could have better care.
Days rolled on and Graham came
back from California, eager to gaze
for the first time at his first born.
With his wife, now recovered, he
went to Vicksburg to obtain the
child.
But no Mrs. Gibson could be
