ponents of the administration ship
PING bill demonstrated their SUI
perior strength today in the Senate,
but their efforts only @erved to
pave the way Tor the death of the
legislation Monday.
Those supporting the measure,
although openly conceding it to be
doomed, defeated the opponents on
two roll calls by the Identical vote
of 46 to SO. One vote was on
motion by Senator Robinson of
Arkansas, the acting democratic
leader, to table the pending motion
to proceed with consideration of tie
bill. The second wa. on the motion
to proceed it'll the bill, which mo-
ton was made Wednesday night
after the measure had been laid
aside to permit action OIL two con-
ference reports.
Thus the shipping bill was tenn
porarily revived, but Senator Robin
son Immediately offered molten
to send the bill back 60 the COM
merce committee and to its death.
This motion was, by agreement,
left pending and will come to
vote Monday. Supporters of the
bill expect to defeat this motion.

The end of the legislation for this
Congress and OF similar shipping Leg
islstion for at least two or more
years then will come on motion
expected to be made by Senator Ladd,
republican, North Dakota, to lay aside
the bill and take up the filled milk
measure. Senator Jones, republican.
Washington, in charge of the ship
ping bill, said today he would vote
for the Ladd motion and many of the
republicans who voted today to keep
the measures alive are expected to
join with him in such numbers as
to pass the motion. Such action
would not put the shipping bill be-
| yond the possibility OF further con-
sideration before adjournment.
Supporters of the ship bill claimed
that the vote today on the motion
by Senators Jones TO take up the
measure for consideration showed
that the legislation could have been

been prevented by the filibuster from
coming to vote. The roll call on

DOESN'T
SUIT FRANCE

Germany has made another re-
parations proposition to France
and Belgium.
1t suggests German payment of
war damages, beginning in 1927,
by system of ''annuities" of
about 285 million dollars reckon
ed in American money, an inter
national conference to decide how
long they must be continued, The
money would be raised BY a rail-
road mortgage, a mortgage on
commerce and industry, and lux
ury tax.
France likes this offer so little
that she isn't even answering it.
She objects especially to the alb
sence Of German pledge to stop
passive" resistance in the Ruhr.
Neither does she want to wait UNI
til 1927 before beginning to get
any money, nor does She care to
leave the total to an international
conferences decision.
The British view seems to be
that the proposition, while per-
haps not yet satisfactory, at least
IS more so than the last one.

HOWE WILL INSTALL
HUGE INCUBATOR
Americas Fancier Endorses Idea
of Commercial Hatchery For
This Section

S. P. Howe, one of the largest
poultry producers in Sumter coun-
ty was a visitor in Americas to-
day while here discussed a recent
editorial in the Times-Recorder
advocating a commercial hatchery
here.
Il noted with interest your edi-
torial regarding commercial
hatchery said Mr.. Howe, 1.-The
benefits to be derived by the
whole locality from one
for it stresses the very point /
have been trying to impress on
all who come to see our place, that
the production of poultry on a
scale large enough to be worth
while will furnish the cotton farm
er of the South a cash income.

exist in this section for poultry
raising, and with the industrious

class of farmers that live here,
there is no reason why Sumter
county does not have co-opera-
tive poultry sale monthly. The
only reason that l can see is that
the people have not awakened to
the possibility of the chicken to
furnish a cash income equal to
that of any other class of live
stock; These sales not only help
the farmer who has produced the
chickens, but they increase the
sales of the merchants who sell to
the farmer.
"In connection with the subject
of Commercial Hatchery, | wish
to say that we are making ar
rangements to install one, and
possibly two, 10000 egg incuba-
tors this summer; and it is our in
tention to place a large part of
this incubator capacity at the
disposal of the farmers and 9TH
ers interested in Matching eggs, so
that they may have the opportun-
ity to hatch chickens in large num-
bers, raise them on the by-prod-
ucts of the farms, and sell them
through these cooperative sales.
ITO illustrate the profit there
is in the production OF poultry,
would like to tell of one party 10
whom we sold about two thousand
chicks this season; and, with the
aid Of the proper brooding equip
ment and buildings, he raised all
but very few OF these chicks.
At the age of sixty days these
chickens were sold at a net profit
that was pretty close to thou
sand dollars. His case is nothing
exceptional, for in other sections
people are doing the same thing
except that they are selling their
chickens to the market in these
sales; where as he sold his at priv
ate sale.
''There is a great demand for
almost all breeds Of Pure Bred
poultry at good prices; and the
farmer who will select one breed
and keep it pure seldom has any
trouble in disposing of all his sur
plus eggs and breeding stock.
TEerd IS an opening here for those
who wish to produce pure bred
eggs, with q market at good prices
the year around; and we wish to
encourage the people locally to
supply US with these eggs
IF by stressing through your
columns the Importance of poultry
as a cash income throughout the
year to the farmers, you are able
to induce the farmer to enlarge
his poultry activities to the point
where they will be really worth
while, you will have done him an
everlasting good; and will have
solved one of his greatest prob
lens in producing his cotton, that

ROBIN HOOD SCORED
HIT At RYLANDER
Americus Movie Fans "Rave"
Over Presentation, Manager
Kincey Says

Never have Americas audiences
rayed so much over any photoplay
as Robin Hood" which began a
three day engagement Wednesday.
The hundreds who attended were
almost unanimous in acclaiming it
the most wonderful picture they
ever witnessed, and storms of ap-
plause swept the theatre at times,
Manager Kinney said today.
The following is review of
robin Hood" as seen by the
critic of the Atlanta Constitution
Douglas Fairbanks never did
anything in his career to approach
his work as the Earl of Hunting
ton and Robin Hood. AS Unlimited,
Fairbanks is the very figure of the
ideal which has grown around the
character of Robin. He is prob
ably better in the second part of
the picture, where he is the out
law of Sherwood Forest, leading
his merrie men to bold adventure
and whimsical trickery, than in
the the first half, where he is the
noble Earl of Huntington, favor
lite of the King Richard the Lion
heart and doughty champion of
the knightly fitting lists. But that
is only because he is s1preme as
the frolicking imp of the woods.
After seeing the picture there
is a desire to make everybody
else see it. 1t would be a pity fol
anyone to miss it.

great drawbridge of the castle OF
the king dropped across the screen
