being stricken with a paralytic
stroke, the second during the past

Mr. Cutting joined the British
army when he was 16 years old

He often told the story of how he
was standing close to Lord Raglan
when the order was issued that sent
Light Brigade into the VALLEY of
Death" Occasionally he intimat-

might clear up a disputed point
in history regarding the fatal or

gested by Senator Arthur Camper
of Kansas, himself a Republican

"The result of the election
says Capper, "was a reputation of
destructive and radical proposals.
But it was not a mandate to sweep
liberalism out of the Republican
party.
"A swelled head is as dangerous
in political party as it is in an
individual. 1t would be deploraole
if the Republican party should let
its recent victory go to it's head n"
Capper's warning came the day
after the Republican caucus had
voted to throw La Toilette, Ladd,
Frazier and Brookhart Out of the
party and to withhold from them
any future committee assign

And it forecast the probable OPP
position to such disciplining of 9TH

At the trial in the police court at
Macon Saturday, it was shown,
that Jones when arrested for being
drunk had just tried to borrow an
other gun. The two officers who
made the case remembered that
several guns had been stolen in this
manner from Macon homes and
they told the judge as rluch. The
recorder bound Jones over to the
city court on a charge Of larceny
where he will be tried today.
If Jones is freed by the city court
of Macon, he will be brought to
Americas to be identified aud if
either Mrs. Stevens or Mrs. Burke
says he is the man then he will have
to settle things with Judge Harper
in the city court here.
Providing Jones is sentenced in
Macon the authorities will have to
wait until he has served his time
there before bringing him here for
trial.

IMPERATIVE YIELD

Relative Merits of Big Stem
Jersey and Porto Rican
Discussed

The relative merits of the south.
orn grown "moist" sweet potatoes
and the northern grown dry sweet
potatoes have been the subject for
comment for sweet potato growers
and shippers. The former is COM
monty represented by the Porto
Rico variety, while tie Big Stem
Jersey is a typical "dry' variety.
Eleven years ago the Georgia En-
pertinent Station tested seventeen
varieties of sweet potatoes, three of
which were the "dry" kind and
made a good record as TAR as yields
were concerned; the second to the
highest yield being made by dry
variety.

pertinent Station has noted the

variety as compared with the Big
Stem Jersey, the habit. Of growth,
and has also compared tie curing
qualities of the two varieties. The
yields of the two were:

SOUTH HAS LEARNED
TO DIVERSITY CROPS
Only One-Fourth of Farming
Area Is Now Devoted to
Raising Fleecy Staple

ATLANTA, Dec. S.-The South
no longer crowns King Cotton. The
estimated area of all farm crops in
the South, according to late figures
received at the Georgia Department
of Agriculture, is in the neighbor-
hood of 130,250,0O0 acres which il
over 35 per cent of tie total crop
area of the United States. Out OF
this acreage only about one-fourth
of the farming area in the South is
devoted to cotton.
Listen to this:
The South produces about one
third of the corn crop of the Uni
ted States and the acreage in corn
in 1922 was IL, 100000 more than
was planted in cotton. The total
area in the South of three principal
grain crops, corn, wheat and oats IS
approximately 1920, 600 acres,
compared with 85,OOO000O in cot
ton.
In addition to the staple farm
crops, the South annually produces
for shipment to the North and West,
in addition to what it retains for
local consumption, about 500. 900
carloads Of winter and snrirg vege-
tables, berries, fruits and cotton
seed products.
Southern watermelons and canta-
loupes are also an import anc crop
in many sections of the South. Crop
Investigation, in fact, has rcvc-
lutionized things agriculturally and
cotton is not crowned any more.

Shortly before the illness and
operation which caused his death,
Secretary of Agriculture Henry
Wallace completed the writing of
his memoirs.
Official Washington is wonder
ing just how much of the details of
the battle that ragged inside the
Harding cabinet between Wallace
and some of his fellow cabinet
members will be disclosed.
One of the bitterest contests in
any recent cabinet ragged between
Wallace and former Secretary of
Interior Fan. Fall was fighting
for the transfer, to his department,
of the nations immense forest re-
serves.
Wallace's own story of the in
side maneuverings in that battle
would be especially Illuminating.
Scarcely second in interest to
this would be the inside story of
the contest betwene himself and
Secretary Hoover over the Bureau
of Markets which Hoover wanted
to take over.
WallacG's outspoken champion
ship of means and measures not
sponsored by his administration
fellows provoked many of the

Special Disps tch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 15.-Today's bond
market was fully as strong as on the
day previous, but not quite so active.
interest centered again on United
states government securities, and new
high records for the year were made
In number of issues, notably Treas
ury Ans, the third Liberty 4As and
the fourth Liberty AIS. The tax
exempt 31as. also sold above par for
the first time in 1924.
This buying in Liberties was said to
come almost entirely from banks and
financial institutions. contributing
cause was the fact that savings banks
IN number of instances had reached
the limit of funds they were allowed
10 invest in real estate mortgages and
SO were obliged to turn to govern
ment bonds
Other Bond Issues Strong.
State and municipal bonds in the
outside market were also strong, and
there was good demand for rail-
road equipment trust certificates. ex-
cept that in the latter case the So
called subordinated equipments were
not in favor.
High-grade railroad bonds were in
demand, but trading centered around
a few selected issues Chicago, Bur-
Ilngton and Quincy 5s was one. New
York Central 5s was another. In
utilities, American Telephone and
Telegraph debentufe 51 were firm
at the top price. Brooklyn Edison
general 5s sold practically at the
high of the year. st. Louis Iron
Mountain and Southern River and
Gulf Division As went above so to a
new high.
Speculative rails were more neg
lected. More strength was exhibited
in Missouri-Pacific General As than
| most of the list. Among the indus
trials, Virginia-Carolina Chemical rs
had another drop, this time below So.
In fractions, Chicago Railway 5s
were lower.
French Bonds Barely Steady.
In the foreign group French bonds
were barely steady, the favorable at
t1tude the new government is ex-
pected to take toward the Dawes re-
port being balanced by doubt as to
its internal financial policy There
was slight rally in japanese 6 S
and little better market for Nor
way 6S.
