like seventy-five different classes of
employees, not counting policemen and

The Presidents secretary receives
the highest salary of any on the list,
being allowed $500 annually. And
while one might think White House
laborers receive more than ordinary"
toilers, the rate is about the same;
they get $3.50 year. which is the low
est on the list. Not so with the Pres
ldent's telephone operators. however;
they get the fair stipend of S2,4OO an
nually, which is exactly S40O less than
that received by the head usher and
head doorkeeper.
Two assistant secretaries to the
President get $4,000 each, and the
chief executive clerk pulls down So

Introduction of nature study as a part
of their regular school curricula. Thus
they have encouraged and stimulated
an appreciation of nature together
with an independence and originality
of thought which makes for love of the
outdoors and for the foundation OF
better citizenship. The educational
committee urges upon the national
conference the passage of definite
resolution endorsing school nature
study and the extension of the nature
study idea for every American school
and every American family.
This committee equally endorses
the splendid nature study courses OF
fered by many public libraries, mu'
seums aud camps and recommends thai
all institutions of this character should
follow the excellent example already
set. II is urged that modern and up
to-date books and magazines on nat
ural history subjects be used, as the
advance of science has demonstrated
the error of many previous so-callee
authorities"

~ALvIN COOLIDGE, who was
born in a humble frame farm
Y house in New England, today is
the occupant of home which
costs more than his yearly salary to

Executive of the nation. There is an

pointed out the need of an educa-

an organized, active and well finance
ed producer and marketer Of cotton
goods, some notable developments
in the textile industry of the world
may be looked for in the next few
years, in the opinion of Atlanta Man

to the correspondent of this news
service.

Germany, even in her some what de-
moralized industrial condition, was

Stated here. 1t was pointed out
that with the operation Of the repair
alton payment plan, which is ex-
pected to get Germany back upon
basis Of constructive progress.
there will be even greater demand
for cotton for the spindles of Ger
many almost Immediately.
Reports Indicate, according t.,
Atlanta cotton men, that the South
is producing this lear q much larg
err crop Of cotton than for several
years. These reports. it was assert
ed, have had bearish effects upon the
markets, and prices have sagged con.
siderably
The prospective German demand,
of course, cotton men here say, IS
yet a speculative factor, but there
is every likelihood that it win make
itself felt as an important feature
in the cotton market during the next
few months.
It is possible, therefore. that the
first real effects Of the PREPARATIONS
settlement plans to be felt in Al

growers Of the South, provided, OF
course, any of the cotton is still in
their hands when, and if, price
stifening from this cause becomes
