formed by the premier that the gov
would not accept any decision
of the council of ambassadors regard
ing Memel unless it reflected the VIII
of the inhabitants of that territory.
Late dispatches from Memel carry
the story of Anthony Twas, an Amer
lean citizen from Boston visiting his
parents in L%ithuania, who says that
he both i%nstigated and financed the
Instruction. He declares the Lithu-
anians would accept an English and
Italian administration of the zone
until a plebiscite could be held, but
would resist the return of the French
because they have been trying to find
an excuse TO give Memel to Poland.
a THOUGH both the British and
"a American war debt refunding
commissions are still apparently conf
dent of the success of their negotia-
tons, the sessions were broker off
temporarily last Thursday by the
Englishmen, who announced that "the
conversations had reached a stage
making desirable n personal report to
their government" For this purpose,
and to obtain further Instructions,
they sailed Saturday for London. The
difference in views between the ON
missions is not believed to be great,
relating mainly to the interest rate.
The Washington administration is
hopeful the entire question can be set
tied in time for action during the pres
ent session of congress-, and the feeling
in England also is quite optimistic.
CAMUEL GOMPERS and the general
executive board of the Brewery
Workers union have arranged for the
mobilization of the forces of organized
labor to obtain a modification of the
Volstead act so that the manufacture
and sale Of light wines and beer may
be permitted. Said Mr.. Gompers: I'VE
plan to make America once more the
home of the sane and the land of the
free. Wine and beer of light alcoholic
content are sure to come back, and
they will come back soon"
If Representative Upshaw of Georgia
sought notoriety by the rather cheap
means of charging that many members
of congress and high government Off
cials were liquor drinkers, he has
achieved his purpose. Washington
seems unduly annoyed, and Congress-
man Hill of Maryland has demanded
that he house investigate the charges.
Governor Silzer of New Jersey, in
his inaugural address. made some very
moist recommendations to the legisla-
ture, and Governor Pinchot of Penn
sylvania, on being installed, made an
equally dry speech. These pronounce
ments were coincident with the third
anniversary of the prohibition amend
ment.
Deaths from poisonous m%oonshine
and b%ootleggers' booze are becoming
so numerous that the government has
decided to curtail the dealings in de-
natured and industrial alcohol. It also
will bottle, for medicinu. purposes, all
bulk liquors now held in bond and
guarantee them as to proof and quality.

Now York, Jan. 25--Trans-Atlantic travellers who in the course of their passage have witnessed rescue or the transfer of sick person from a nearby ship have had an experience they will not soon, if ever, forget. Recently upon the arrival of the steamship President Garfield" of the United States Lines came story of a seaman whose life had been saved by wireless.
 The story of the life-saving is told in the trite but comprehensive rep f. of Captain H. L. Look of the steam ship President Garfield" The report succinctly tells of the treatment by wireless of a seaman in the throes of pneumonia, his eventual transfer at sea and course of treatment aboafi fi the liner that resulted in his stepping ashore III New York we'll man.
 The President Garfield" was en route to Europe when the stirring i'- cident occurred. Shortly before mid night the wireless operator responded to call for aid. The message cansc from the freight steamship "West Norranus, bound from Mobile, Ala, to Rotterdam, Holland, and stated tla a member of the engine room force was seriously Ill and in need of i,n- mediate medical attention. The "Wcsl Norranus" gave her position which showed that she was almost 100 miles distant from the President Garfcld.'
 Captain Look, of the President 0arheld," summoned the ships sur geon. and asked him to do what he could by radio in the matter of pre- scribing for the patient The surgeon called for a description of the mans illness and from the reply he diag- nosed the case as one of pneumonia m most advanced stage. His diag- nosis completed, the surgeon pne- serlbed emergency treatment.
 There was rapid interchange of messages between the President Gar held' and the freighter and then came one which stated that the supply of drugs on the small vessel was very limited and that it was impossible to follow out instructions. It was stated mat the patient was sinking rapidly @ ana that his life was despaired of. When the infotmation was conveyed

GASOLINE EXPLOSION FATAL
 TO LITTLE GIRL AT M'GRATH

The Kusko Times of December 1t contains the following account Of the tragic death -of a five-year old girl, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Dulak:
 The fiye-yeaI old daughter of R Dulak came to ;l painful death at 2:30 o'clock, the result of having had her whole body. with the exception of her face, burned by a gasoline ex. plosion about o'clock yesterday af- ternoon.
 The mother, who was busy abont her homework. was startled by q loud explosion beside the house. where her girls were playing, rushed out to find little Sophia mass of flames.
 Her screalfs brought simon Hill who lives in an adjoining cabin. to her help. but before the flames were extinguished the girls clothing was burned from her body.
 Dr. w r. Green, who was called lat once, pronounced the case hope Hess, and, beyond dressing the ter ribly burned little body and making the child as com sortahle as possible, was able to do nothing.
 No explanation is obtainaNe as to the cause of the accident. The father is away. and both the mother and grandmother declare that there were no matches within reach oi theg children. It is possible that a spark from the chimney igsited gaso line near the five glllon tank which had been leaking slightly.
 A later investigation made this afternoon diseloses the fact that the tank was leaking and in a posi- ton to catch any sparks that migh' fall from the chimney and further that the little ones had ust stepped from tho front door when the explo sion took place, the younger one Martha, just enough in the advance of her sister to escape the force O the fire.

 Full speed ahead" was the order sent from the bridge of the President Garfield to the engine room below and through the night raced the United States Liner on her errand of mercy. While the President Garfield speeded towards the freigiter the ships surgeon remained in the wire less room, giving the necessary direc- tions for the treatment of the sick man. The passengers on the "Presi- dent Garfield" did not know until morning that their vessel was being taken out of her course on a matter ef life and death but once having the knowledge they stood by the rail, scanning the sea for a first view of the freighter over which which the death angel futtered.

Considerable of a sea was running when a life-boat was lowered away from the United States Liner. When the President GarhelTp sturgeon had boarded the "yVest Nor- ranus" he found the seaman, John w.

He quickly determined that the patient be rem.ved to the President Gar field" Miller was lashed to sea stretcher and lowered over the side to the bobbing lifc-boat below.

FORMER GOV. SLATON

ATLANTA. Ga.-Former Govern
or John M. Slaton, of Atlanta, says
that people have become accustomed
to large appropriations by the legis-

dens which their payment would en-
tail.
During the excitement of the war

gard to amount, because of necessity
the people became accustomed &c

they have become Indifferent to, them
Whenever the legislature passes ar
appropriation act it affects every citi
zen in the state, whether he is con-
scious of it or not.
Economy has become a lost art
Even as to education, Mr.. Slaton
thinks no better lesson could be given
the rising generation than to live with
in ones income, as all obligations
must have a pay day.
He holds the good old-fashionec
theory that only enough taxation
should be levied upon the people tc
support a government economically
administered, and the balance SHOULD
remain in the pockets of the people
A man who earns the money car
spend it better than the state car
spend it for him.
Intelligent self-interest would sug

ously reached their minimum tasks
Mitchell county, where more than
10000 acres OF peanuts were pIanteo
last year and a quota OF more than
5000 acres exists this year, IS still
working hard to reach its minimum.
Saturday saw Mitchell with a record
OF 4,014 acres under contract and
steady progress being made toward

acres to go over, but close to 5000

weeks work was checked up.
OF the counties that have gone
over their quota marks, Calhoun has
signed the largest acreage-5,5l88 out
of total of 500, while Dougherty
