In baseball the United States has
-lWaYS heen Sunreme.

In baseball the United States has
always been supreme.
Baseball is the national pastime,
and naturally no other country
boasts ball players nearly SO profile
lent.
In the fight game u country al
SO has a decided edge. With very
few exceptions, the foreign cham
pions to invade the United States
have met with disaster.
Baseball and boxing are peculiar
to the United States, therefore it is
to be expected that this country
should reign supreme.
In two other sports possessing an
International flavor, tennis and golf,
the United States has been making
rapid strides.
Were Supreme in Golf
Once upon a time, not so many
years ago at that, the British Isles
held the golfing world in its hands.
Few players compared with the ex-
perts from over there.
A cimilar condition existed in
tennis, with Australia, an English
possession, vieing with the mother
country for supremacy.
How things have changed!

COTTON YIELD TRIPLES
LAST YEAR IN MONROE
Salesman Sam

FORSYTH, November 20.-The
yield of cotton in Monroe county
although damaged to some extent
by the ravages of the boil weeVil
and retarded somewhat by the
drought, will be three times that
for last year. he picking sea-
son is not over and 1000 bales
have already been ginned in the
county. Reports from Culloden,
Juliette and other sections of the
county show that the crop is gen
orally better over all parts of the
county and that in the majority of
cases the cotton was poisoned. The
farmers are expecting a good crop
next year and have already begWn
planning for the campaign against
the weevil. By early planting,
plowing under of this years stalks
and general use of some of the wee
vii poison mixtures, they hope with
favorable weather to eclipse the
record made this year.

ms RESERVES
IN NEXT BIG WAR
aeral Williams Thinks United
States lnvulnerable Because
Of Huge War Stores

WASHINGTON, November 20
The next major war will be won
or lost on the sufficiency of NUM-
tlons reserves" Major General
Clarence G. Williams, chief of Army
ordinance, predicted in his annual
report made public today at the
War Department.
Il wish to emphasize the pre-
ponderatlng Importance of ade-
quate emergency reserves" Gener-
al Williams said, adding that in
view of the isolated position,
highly developed specialized IN
dustries and immense RESOURCES
of the United States it seemed
"fairlv certain that no power of
combination Of powers now in ex-
lstence," could successfully invade
the country after American man
power and industry had been full
ly modified.
The possible rate of mobiliza-
ton will always be determined by
the state of our reserves" the re-
port said, 'since man power can be
mobilized much more rapidly than
industry. From this point of view,
taxing INTO account the present eco
nomc development of the world, it
may be said that the next major
war will be won or lost on the
sutflciency of munitions reserve"
The war left the country with
. large stock of reserves onhand,
General Williams continued. but
with the passage of time the value
of these is decreasing "due to de-
velopment of improved and more
powerful types" There is also, he
added, deterioration in stocks of
ammunition which "is very much
more pressing than the question
o. obsolesence Of material.
The report said that lack of
funds during the last two years
has prevented completion of the ar.
tillery development program work
ed out at the close of the war and
that 1t has been possible ito COW
er reasonably well'' in a contracted
program only the gun equipment
for infantry, divisional batteries
and small caliber anti-aircraft
weapons together with one type of
tank. Even the contracted prog
ram cannot proceed 'to an affec-
tive degree" during the coming
year under budget limitations, the
report added.
"The Department has now been
working on the program for four
years and can see no hopes of de-
veloping for the service and with
out substantial increase in the
funds available" said General Will
liams. He added that work which
could be done n one year by his
department now required three
years time to complete.

PAVING PROJECT AT

TYBEE ISLAND, November 20
Work on Tybee road paving is pro-

project will be finished before next
spring. The roads when completed
will extend over four miles in
lengt hand will run from the city to
the furthest extremity of the IS
land. The bond issue for the paw
ing of the roads was $101, 900 and
