SWIMMING FOOL AT
DAWSON is REPAIRED

DAWSON, May 1. - Work of
making the swimming pool owned
by the American Legion ready for
use this summer is now under way.
The dam has been around the sides
OF the reservoir and the water will
be confined to a small deep space
rather than to large shallow area.
The water formerly occupied a
large area covered with brush and
other Objectionable growth. The
improvements make it impossible
TOR trash and dirt to be carried into
the reservoir, and the water will
be almost as clear as if it came
directly from a well. Painting and
other repairs are also being made
on the bath houses and other prop
erty, 1t is hoped by the legion
mares that the pool will be ready
for public use by the 18th of Nav.
The pool will no doubt prove to
be a popular resort during the hot
summer months.

Dark Teeth Bleached
in Three Minutes

You have always longed for
flashing white teeth. And now, at
last you can have them-easily,
quickly and safely! For scientists
have discovered a remarkable new
treatment which often in only three
minutes bleaches dull dingy discol-
orations from the teeth, leaving
them clear, sparkling white and lus-
trous. This new treatment, called
Bleachodent Combination, consists
of a mild safe liquid and new
Kind of paste The liquid curdles
and softens the stains, while the
paste removes them, and if used
daily prevents the formation of fu-
ture stains. You simply brush teeth
with a few drops of the liquid -
then use the paste. Almost before
YOU realize it, unsightly surface
stains disappear and the teeth take
ON a dazzling new whiteness and
.ustre. First application usually
leaves teeth whittier than with ten
times the securing by old-fashion-
ed methods. Bleachodent Combina-
ton is harmless-does not affect
enamel as its mild ingredients are
intended to act only on surface
stalns-not on enamel itself. Espe-
cially beneficial for children's
teeth which stain easily. Get
BIeachodent Combination today for
a few cents. Be sure you ask for

SAVANNAH RECORDER

SAVANNAH, May In the
opinion OF Recorder Schwarz the sell
ing of milk under insanitary condi-

governing its sale is a greater men

in police court after he had SEN
fenced A. Thomas of 638 East Lib

BORAH COMMITTEE TO
.EXONERATE WHEELER

is expected to make report clear
ing him in about ten days.
Several witnesses antagonistic to
Wheeler are yet to be heard and
there is also talk of a mysterious
letter, alleged TO throw some new
light on the case. But a majority
of the committee appears to have
been convinced in favor of Wheel
er by two witnesses-William Spry
commissioner of the general land
office and former governor of Utah
and Edwin S. Booth, solicitor of
the interior department at the time
of the alleged offense, and now a
special assistant attorney general
1t is probable that the committee
will not be content with exonerat-
ing Wheeler, but will state as its
opinion that Wheeler was meticul-
Ilous in refusing to handle Camp
BELLS federal business, specifically
combining his services at counsel to
cases before the state courts.
If such a report is made, as is
now expected, there is almost no
likelihood of the senate seriously
considering ousting Wheeler.
Wheeler was charged in the in
dictment with having represented
client, Gordon Campbell, Mon
tana oil man, before the interior
department in regard to land per-
mits. Spry, as head of the gen
eral land office, and Booth, as legal
representative of the department,
were the two officials before whom
Wheeler is alleged to have prose-
cuted his clients case.
! Both denied Wheeler had done
anything more than to ask for fair
treatment for Campbell, in the same
manner that all senator are ac-
customed to act for the constituents
who have business before govern
ment departments.
Another witness whose testimony
was regarded as significant was
William G. Feely, local attirney,
who was engaged by Campbell to
act as his land lawyer here. He
testified he handled the cases be-
fore the interior department and
that Wheeler had absolutely moth
ing" to do with them. Other wit
nesses, including Campbell himself,
testified that Wheeler confined his

MEMPHIS READY To

Memphis is ready to care for as
many Confederate veterans and visi-
tors as may attend the reunion

ton has just been received here
in a letter addressed to General
Joe Day Stewart, commander Of
the Southwestern division, U. C. V.
and who usually handles details Of
the trip for Americas and Sum,er
county veterans.
General Stewart has recently
been in correspondence with re.
union authorities at Memphis re.
garding housing and feeding facil-
tiles arranged for the gathering
has been assured there will be no
lack of either of these. The fol
lowing taken from letter written

union housing committe, will be OF
interest to many veterans and 9th

cipate attending the reunion there

generally. Flowing and planting
was reported to be from. two to
four weeks behind in various parts
of the district.
Wholesale trade compares I'M
favorably with figures for March Of
last year, and retail trade in the
cities, while larger than in the
previous month, was lower than
during March a year ago, the re-
view stated. The fact that Easter
was three weeks later this year also
contributed to the decrease in re-
tail trade as compared with March,
1928, many buyers waiting until
April to make their purchases, it
was pointed out
Bank reports show somewhat
large demand for funds that ex-
listed at the same time last year
and while demand deposits are
slightly lower than last year, saw
ings deposits continue to show fav-
orable comparisons, the review
said, adding that debts to individ-
ual accounts for the latest week
available, April 16, were more than
$24, 100000 greater than for the
corresponding week year ago"
Employment conditions continue
satisfactory, it was stated, except
for the fact that cotton riills in
some of the districts have found
lit necessary to curtail operations
because of lack of demand for their
products, and coal mines in Ala
oama are not so active as they have
been.
Chattanooga was the only city
lin the district to report larger re-
. tail sales in March of this year
than last, while Birmingham and
Chattanooga were the only cities
where March retail sales exceed
ed the monthly average of 1919,
according to the review.
AS to agricultural conditions, the
review pointed that because of I'M
favorable weather during March,
farm work, generally is from two
weeks to four weeks behind in
the district. Preparation of land
for cotton has been much delayed
by bad weather in Georgia, but
more calcium arsenate is being
used than last year in Georgia,
Alabama and Mississippi.
The freezes in March damaged
some peaches considerably, but FL
bertas only slightly in Georgia,
while Tennessee and Louisiana
strawberries were hurt. The farm
labor situation in Alabama and
Florida is satisfactory, but in Geor-
gia and Tennessee the supply is
short, and in the cotton section of
Louisiana there is a shortage, al
though labor is reported plantiful
IN the rice and sugar sections.
The decline in the price of cot
ton during February and March
lessened the probability of an ap-
probably larger acreage over last
Jear, it was reported. The recent
recovery, however, may tend to
produce the opposite effect.
AS to the lun Der industry, the
review stated that production Ct
southern pine mills for March has
ranged around 80 per cent Of or.
nal during most of the month
while orders have been between sc
and IS per cent of normal produc-
ton. Shipment during most of the
month ranged little below output
and were slightly lower than or.
der during most OF the month,
Ia and 81. Retail demand il de
5eloping more slowly than expect
ed but the cold and rainy weather
has retarded building to some ex
tent in many sections, it was point
ed out.
