HOUSE MAY AGREE TO
HARRIS AMENDMENT

ATLANTA, March s. Following
favorable action by the Senate, the
House is expected to agree to the
amendment of Senator Harris, of
Georgia, providing $4,000 for field
Investigations of arsenic bearing ores
by the geological survey to determine
the location and the amount of such
ores available for making white arsenic
the principal ingredient of calcium ar
senate, used to fight the boil weevil.
The item is carried in the Interior
Department appropriation bill. Under
a Senate resolution offered by Senator
Harris the geological survey was di-
rected to make the investigation but
a preliminary report disclosed that ex-
tensive field investigations were neces-
sary and the sum of $500 needed for
the work.
Senator Harris said the price of
calcium arsenate had increased more
than 800 per cent since it was officially
recommended by the Department of
Agriculture as the agent to fight the
cotton boil weevil, and the MAIN in
gredient of the product is white ar
senic which is in great demand now
Senator Harris is urging the field in
vestigation by the geological survey as
a step towards increasing the supply
of arsenic and thereby reducing the
price of calcium arsenate.

WAREHOUSE AT
BLACKSHEAR ENLARGED
Ten Million-Pound Crop Expected
At Blackshear

Blackshear, Ga, March 4HWork
has actually begun on the extension
of the Farmers Warehouse Company's
tobacco warehouse, announces E. L.
Darling, one of the directors of the
company, ]. w. Gray, who. has the
contract for the enlargement has his
force at work putting down the nee
essary piling upon which to lay the
foundation. 1t is expected that the
work will be finished by the first of
June.
The Cost
The addition will cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 when completed.
The floor space added by the extern
sion will be 16,5OO square feet. This
will give the warehouse a total floor
space of 35,400 square feet, approx
imately double that of last year. Add
ing the floor space of the warehouse
of the Blackshear Manufacturing
Company, the capacity of the two
warehouses in Blackshear will be Co.
$50 square feet of space.
Next Crop
1t is estimated that the tobacco
crop of this season will run sfrom
seven to ten million pounds, which
is quite an increase over the pro due
ton of last year. The present facilities
for handling this crop, including the
enlargement of the Farmers Ware
house, it is thought will be ample. E.
l.. Morgan and Company will have
charge OF the sales at the warehouse
of the Blackshear Manufacturing Co,
and Cheatham, Parham and Company
Will have in hand the business OF the
Farmers Warehouse Company. These
are the same men who had charge of
the business last season. Last season
the plan was to hold sale in each
warehouse every other day. 1t is ex-
pected that for this season, there will
be two sets of buyers, and a sale in
each warehouse every day.

q recent post office publication. The
loss occurred In Milwaukee, the loser
being a midget actor and vaudeville
performer. That was in 1920 and the
bills were In a wallet, lost In a de-
partment store in that city. The wal
let contained $3.50, besides a lot OF
personal papers.
1t would appear, says the post office
paper, that whoever found the wallet
took out for himself or herself all bills
In excess Of 5000 and then placed the
wallet With the remainder of the
money In small paper box, and this
box, wrapped very loosely in a single
thickness of ordinary wrapping paper,
secured by light piece of string, was

the wallet.

ing with this request, the sender wrote
upon the package the name of store

mails.
The owner of the wallet had re
moved from the address in question BIZ
the time the package reached its des

had forgotten his new one, delivers

package was treated as unbelievable

Not all of our successful men
are to be found in great cities. One
such is Harold w. Cochran, who,
at the age of thirty-five is the big
gest man and the richest man in
the little post-village of Clarion,
Pa. He owns the corner grocery
store.
AS boy, Cochran was extremely
poor. His family lived on small
farm on the outskirts of Clarion.
His start as trader came when
as boy he broke a button off his
trousers. He picked the button
up, put it in his mouth and dis
covered he could whistle through it,
That day he traded the button

for cheap watch. The town
grocer gave him a job as errand
boy at one dollar week. Because
of his pleasant smile, suave man
ner and infectious good nature, the
townsfolk grew to know him and
to give him individual orders for
groceries when he came to their
homes. When five years later he
opened a little "hole-in- the-wall"
grocery of his own, two-thirds of
the townfolk came to him to trade.
Cochran's success came through
clever advertising. One day his
store received unexpectedly ten
crates of very ripe Strawberries.
He knew they wouldn't keep until
morning, SO he called up his Gus

BUTTER
IS TAKING LEAD
Old Sweet Cream" Theory Is
Exploded by BOZeman
Creamery

Gallatin valley is rapidly ap-
preaching supremacy in the art
Of buttermaking, dispr0ving the
old theory that the best butter
can only be made from sweet
cream.
At the NatiOrsal Dairy eXpOi-
sitiOn, held at Milwaukee early
in October, butter made by Geo.
Barthman, buttermaker for the
Gallatin Milk and Produce Com
pany, scored 91.83 on his fresh
butter exhibit and 91.OO on his
storage butter.
This butter was made from cream
with an average age of nine days and
was entered into competition with
butter from Wisconsin, long touted
as the premier dairy state, Iowa and
many others, where cream is gather
ed not less than three times a week.
High Score $500
The first prize gold medal was wen
by butter from Iowa with score OF
$500. Four other exhibits from
Montana rated 92.16, 9O.83 and 9O.16,
respectively and in the storage but
ter exhibit only che other entry was
made from Montana, grading 9l.33.
Mr.. Barthman is an expert butter
, maker from the east. He declares
that despite the age of cream used
Gallatin valley butter was equal al
least to the average exhibited from
states where cream can be gathered
more expeditiously and that the To-
cal product will soon lead the state
