REPUBLICANS LOWER
SENATE MAJORITY BY
ELECTION OF JOHNSON
New Minnesota Senator's Tri-
unph Gives Them Majority
of 5 in That Body
EXPECT TO INCREASE THIS
Vermont VIII Name Republican
To Succeed Late Senator
Dillingham;

WASHINGTON, July 17.-The
election of Magnus johnson as
United States senator from Min
nesota leaves the Republicans with
a marrow majority of five in the
senate. AS the roster now stands
there are fifty Republicans and
forty-three Democrats, with two
Farmer Laborites.
There exists a vacancy in the
membership for Vermont, due to
the recent death of Senator Dillig-
ham, and the general expectation
is that Republican will be ap-
pointed to the place by Vermont's
governor.
This would increase the Republi-
can majority in the upper branch
of congress to six, but even with
this majority Republican leaders
concede they may have difficulty
on some occasions in holding in
line sufficient of strength to put
through Harding administration
measures.

AMERICUS MAN TELLS
STORY WILKES PLAN
VIII Brnuer, Former Resident
Here, Writes Now For Ma
tional Magazines

ATLANTA, July 17.-The story
Of how a Georgia county threw
off the yoke of an "all cotton"
crop and found in crop diversifi-
cation remedy for the many ills
a too faithful adherence to cotton
had placed upon it's farmers, is in
terestingly told in national publi-
cations by VIII w. Bruner, a son
of Mrs. Alice Cobb, of Americus,
who is now editor of the Washing
ton News-Reporter.
Wilkes County, Georgia, for
more than one hundred years had
been growing cotton to the exclus-
ion of almost all other crops. The
result was that the farmers of
Wilkes county prospered only
when cotton was high in price and
were under a burden Of debt when
the staple became Improbable.
Mr.. Bruner, in his articles, tells
how the Kiwanis club of Washing
ton, the county seat Of Wilkes,
with the cooperation of the bust
ness men and bankers of the town
and the progressive farmers of the
county, inaugurated a program of
development for the county which
has had amazing results.
The Kiwanians adopted the slo-
gan: Incorporation, square deal,
good will, the COW, the hog, the
hen; a little cotton now and then"
A better slogan, in the opinion Of
state agriculturists, could hardly
be devised. With the hearty sup
port of business interests and farm
ing interests, the Kiwanis club
started to carry out its program
for diversification
Dairying has been introduced,
creamery is under construction,
pure-bred eggs have been purchas-
ed to take the place of the ordi-
nary kind for settings and ten
thousand egg hatchery is under
construction. The county has been
producing pure-bred hogs for a
number of years and this industry
has been enlarged. Crops suitable
to the land have been planted to
take the place Of so much cotton,
and Wilkes county is seeing day
light ahead and financial freedom
for the farmers is well in sight.

Forty Federal Prohibition Ag-

FINE LIQUOR IN LOT

GAS COMPANIES LATEST
VICTIM OF BOOTLEGGERS

SALT LAKE CITY, July IL
The gas company is the latest vic
tim of the bootlegger's art, accord
ing to officers OF the sheriff's Of
flee here, who asserted they have
uncovered moonshine making meter
tappers.
The officers state the manufac-
turer of illicit liquor has no de-
sire to avoid an honest" gas bill,
but he fears an excessive use of
gas will lead to suspicion and in
Vestigation. Consequently the last
word in 1928 model bootleggery
calls for a device that forms an
emergency pipe around the meter,
giving the operator unlimited gas
Tor his operations, without a foot
of gas being registered.

NEW QUESTION
IS BROUGHT UP

Whether or not Americus can
play Joe Jackson, because of his
expulsion from organized baseball
ranks has brought up a new quqes-
ton that threatens to be even as
erious as the wrauglo over Jack
son. The question worrying the
| boys no Tvs no so mucn whether
they can play with Jackson as
whether they can continue to play
in this circuit at all.
Bob Collier, former Oglethorpe
player, who now wears an Ameri-
Gus uniform, wired Frank Ander-
son, coach of the Oglethorpe team
asking what effect his playing with
jackson would have on his future
college course. The answer was
quick and dnpct, to the effect that
to play with professionals would
act to bar any college player from
further participation in college
athletic activities. Collier isn't go
ing back to college, and he isn't
worrying about what his baseball
! future is to be, but the telegram
sets some of the other college boys
to thinking.
According to The most accepted
Interpretation of the rules govern
! ing college players activities dur
ing the vacatio nperiod is that
such players may play against pro
fessional, but may not play on any
team with any professional.
So Jackson's expulsion from
organized ball ranks doesn't
loom now as large as his status as
professional ball player, it seems.
And it is said that having ben ex-
PEELED from baseball he is no long
cr to be considered professional.
There are az number of college
players on different clubs compos-
ING the South Georgia circuit, and
number of former professional
players as well, and it now looks as
| if a thorough house-cleaning must
be bad. the circuit is to continue
to "strut its stuff" At least, if it
t he crime to play with Joe
Jackson, certainly the rules as they
apply to other nlavers and teams
in the circuit should be enforced
with equal rigidily OF course, if
any COLLEGE lad on any team in the
Circuit should want to forfeit his
future as college player, that's
his little tale of woe. For the fell
lows who expect to return to col
lege this fall and who would like
to cavort around wearing a letter
on their sweater it's another cues
4ion, and ono likely to cause some
deem thought on the par. of those
affected.

When the German workers in the

for the French and the Belgians
they turned in large numbers to
