SHORTAGE OF COTTON
CAUSES MILLS TO STOP
PROMINENT NEW YORK FIRM
SAYS MILLS ARE HAVING
TO CURTAIL OPERATIONS.

The following from ]. w. Jay &
Co., the well-known cotton commits
sion merchants of New York. will be
of interest to readers of The Dawson
News. Jay & Co. say:
Answering inquiries from our
southern friends, regarding mill cur
tailment, eight Fall River mills stopp-
ed work for two days this week.
The remaining supply OF cotton is
so small that the mills of the world
using American cotton will have to
curtail their operations to an average
of about four days per week for the
next four months. Last year about
this time Fall River mills were clos
ed on account of strikes and lockouts
Every effort was being made to re-
duce expenses Unemployment exist
ed Foreign affairs were as unsettled
as now and yet consumption of Amer
lean cotton, according to Hester, was
12,804,000 for the year.
This season for nine months, end
ing April 30th, consumption was on
a basis of 13,500,000 bales September
18th is about the earliest that new
cotton can reach the mills. Assume
that consumption is cut to a yearly
basis of 100000 bales for the next
four months and mills will require
4, 100000 plus stocks en- route to mills,
100000 total of 100000 bales. To
meet this need, on May 1st, Ameri-
can and foreign mills had about D.
100000 plus the visible 1,S15,000, plus
uncounted towns and on farms 800,-
900, a total of 5,065,00G. Thus by cur
failing from 13,500,000 bale to
100000 bale basis mills wifi still
need more cotton than exists.
Nowhere do we hear the assertion
that consumption will be on yearly
basis below 100000 bales, and yet
that is what must happen during the
next four months to make the supply
last.
The world urgently needs nlinim-
UNI crop of 100000 bales next sea-
son. The new crop averages about
two weeks late and is starting poorly.
The best reports are from Texas.
We strongly advise our southern
friends to refrain from pressing their
cotton for sale. Every bale will be
badly needed before new cotton will
be ready for market. Our advices are
that the cooperative associations
have withdrawn their cotton from
sale

ANOTHER OF NEW YORK'S FAMOUS
RESTAURANTS HAS CLOSED ITS DOORS

Groll. There were more than 100
present. among whom none was more
important than Mrs. Peggy Reddy.
For nearly twenty years Mrs. Reddy
has been the housekeeper of the. es-
adjustment, looking after the linen
and the silver, seeing that the floors
were kept clean and the great mir
rors spotless. Fred Rapport, the man
ager, made little speech in which he
told how much he regretted the fact
that another landmark had gone from
the Broadway district.
The usual reason was assigned tor
the closing by every one who spoke.
II was prohibition. More revenue
could be made by converting its floor
soace into shops. There had been a
sentiment attached to the place that
has become known throughout the
country. The nagnifcence of its rocco
co setting and its revolving floor were
familiar from Maine to California, but
sentiment must give way to the press
of business.

AFTER is YEARS FINDS
PARENTS IN PRISON
DISAPPEARED FROM GIRLS
LIFE WHEN SHE WAS BABY.
MEETING IS ARRANGED.

AUBURN, N. Y-Mary Rizzo, IS
year-o1d school girl knew she had a
father and mother. For wasn't she
just like her playmates? And didn't
they all have parents?
But she never knew hers.
They had disappeared from her lite
when she was still a baby, 5 months
old. Friends of the family adopted
her. They took her from Oswego,
where she had been born, to Roches-
ter. They raised her carefully, keep
ing the secret of her parentage. a nys-
terry.
But now the girl has learned the
truth.
Her father and mother were in pris-
on for murder!
1t was a shock, the other day, when
she first visited Auburn, to find her
parents behind the bars of the state
penitentiary.
"But they are alive" said the girl
happily, "and l am so glad.
"At last l know where my father
and mother really are.
"Of course, it's a terrible thing to
be in prison, but it might be worse.
Its going to be my chief ambition
in life now to gain their release.
Warden Arranged Meeting.
After he had learned that his daugh-
ter had discovered the truth, hidden
from her for years, Vincenzo Rizzoo,
the father, appealed to Warden E. 5;
Jennings, and the warden arranged
the meeting between the girl and her
parents.
A prison waiting room is not a
cheerful place. But it radiated happi-
ness when Mary entered it. At last
her dream was coming true. She was
going to see her real parents Tor the
first time in her memory.
The rattle of the warden's keys, the
creak of the heavy iron gate, the
swing of the gray cell door were
music to her ears. Her parents were
Grayed and worn by the five, years
behind the bars, they entered the
room But they were beautiful to the
girl. g, o.o,4s
not only with their child, but with
themselves, too. They had seen eacn1
other only once since they entered
the prison in 1918.

COM WHATSOEVER PERRY
REFUSES TO CONCUR
GEORGIA PUBLIC RVICE
COMMISSION CAN'T AGREE
ON AMOUNT WORK DONE.

ATLANTA, GA disagreement
as to the amount of work that is be-
ing done by the Georgia Public Ser
vice Commission exists among the
commissioners themselves, it was in
d;cated when Commissioner James A.
Perry refused to sign a letter trans
hitting the annual report of the COM
mission to Governor Hardwick. The
letter of transmittal is signed by all
members of the commission except
Commissioner Perry, who, in a foot
note, says:
"Disagreeing, as do, to certain
recitations in the foregoing with ref
erence to the comparative amount of
work now being done by the COM
mission; and a majority of the COM
mission refusing to strike said reci-
tation, | am, therefore, unable to sign

erwise the letter has my approval.
(Signed) James A. Perry, vice chair
man."
That portion of the report to which
it is indicated Vice Chairman Perry
Cxcepts, and because OF which he re-
fused to sign the report, is the fol-
lowing:
with the rapid increase of popu-
1ation and the great growth of bust
ness, and the expansion and develop
ment of the states natural resources,
the work of the commission is increas-
ing year by year. Numbers of COM

coming more familiar with the duties
and work of the commission and are
seeking its aid and assistance more
than ever before"

The story of tobacco has worn with
time.
There is little new to be told about
the weed. But even at that there may
be few outstanding features of the
industry which are not any too well
known. At least one or two of them
will be set down here with the hope
of hitting the responsive ear of some
one.
For instance, we may be of the i'm
preston that the present generation
has more or less of a copyright on
the cigarette. This is far from the
truth. The cigarette has been popu-
larized considerably since the war, but

The CIGARETTE IS RAPIDLY GROWING IN POPULAR FAVOR

Would you believe that the tobacco
acreage in this country is only five
tenths of l per cent of the land under
cultivation? Nevertheless, the produc
ton is large and the aggregate value
of the crop is exceeded only by corn,
hay and forage, cotton, wheat, oats
and potatoes. From l917-1921 the
average area in tobacco was 100000
acres, the production averaged L.
362,00O000 pounds and the average
value was 1904, 100000.
The United States leads the world
not only in total production of tobac
co, but also in the number and diver
sity of distinctive types produced.

BRIDAL COUPLE FIGHT
FATAL DUEL IN ROAD
WOMAN, WHO is LIKELY TO
DIE FROM TWO WOUNDS.
SHOT MAN FOUR TIMES.
FOLLOWED A LONG QUARREL

Had Left Her for Dead. Both Con-
fined in Same Jail, While Officers
Try to Unravel Mystery.
FULTON, Mo.-What appears to
have been murderous duel between
Mr.. and Mrs. William Kreiling, tour
lists, on lonely country road at the
Callaway-Montgomery county line,
IS miles east of here. resulted in the
serious and probable fatal wounding
of both participants.
1t has given the authorities of
Montgomery county one of the most
mystifying cases to deal with in sew
eral years. The woman lies in the
county jail at Montgomery City in
such serious condition that physi-
clans have not been able to operate
on her. Two bullets from a revolver
are lodged in her head.
The man is in the same Jail with
four bullet wounds in various parts
of his body, inflicted by his wife, but,
according to advices from Montgom-
cry, he has chance to live.
Woman Relates Her Part.
The woman has admitted her part
in the affair to the authorities, saying
that she shot her husband after he
had fired two bullets into her head.
She asserts that her husband whipped
out a revolver after quarrel of sew
eral days and after threatening sew
eral times to kill her. Two revolvers
were in the automobile in which they
were travelling overland, but one of
of much value. Mrs. Kreiling told the
MORALLY wounded from the two
wounds in her head, she managed to
crawl to where one of the revolvers
was lying and then shot her husband
four times.
While this phase of the shooting is
still vague. the authorities believe that
all six shots were fired from the same
revolver, which was found in the au
tomobile with all cartridges discharg
ed. A second revolver was found in
the weeds by the road near where the
strange duel had taken place. The
husband has steadfastly denied that
he shot the woman, but has offered
no explanation as to how both of
them happened to have been shot so
often.
A travelling man from St. Louis
found them bleeding and apparently
helpless near their car. The woman
was soon crawling along the highway
and the travelling man gave her some
assistance and reported the affair to a
constable at Mineola Springs, just a
short distance from the scene of the
tragedy. The sheriff at Montgomery
City was notified and he took them to
that city and had a physician sum-
moned to give them medical treat
ment.
Only Married a Month.
The woman, who is AZ years old
and has been married before, says
she met Kreiling in New Mexico,
where she was working, as he passed
through that city on his way from
California. She had been widow for
several years. After their marriage in
Kansas they decided to go to Michi-
gan for visit with sisters of the wo-
man. They had constructed house
on a Ford truck chassis and were
living outdoors as %hey we're travelling
along.
The man was shot twice in the head
once in the right arm and once in the
middle of the back. The last bullet did
not strike any vital organs.
Both will be held at Montgomery
City to wait the outcome of their in
juries, and so far no charges have
been preferred against either.

qualification, was the demand male
nv teachers representing various

outline reasons why the board should
apnrove the teachers salary bill
which was presented last June, and

The meeting last night was held
