PILL MONOPOLY IS
HELD BY HOLLAND
CORNERS WORLD PRODUC-
TON OF BITTER QUININE.
U. S. MUST SWALLOW 1T.

The U. S. Department of Commerce
has announced that Holland has cor
nered the world production of quinine
and that 90 per cent OF the crop har-
vested on Dutch estates is monopoly
controlled.
A ouinine pill is one of the essen
tials OF American civilization, used as
a panacea for lot of troubles rang
ing from the we'll known bad cold
to swamp fever. Compared to it, the
foreign monopolistic control OF sisal
and rubber is a mere nothing.
Made From Tree.
Aside from the Dutch monopollzed
cinchona-cealisaya- tree from winch
ouinine is made-the major portion OF
the remaining crop is financed by
British and Japanese capital, the de-
partment says.
The quinine tree is Indigenous to
South America, especially Peru, but
wears ago Holland introduced it into
lava. In less than 90 years virtually
the entire world supply was produced
in that colony and in Sumatra.
Parallel in Rubber.
"The history of this industry has a
striking parallel in the introduction OF
the rubber producing plant into Java,
IuIius Klein, director Of foreign COM
merce, declares.
I'm few years through policy OF
scientific cultivation and conservation
new world natural monopoly was
overcome entirely by intensified ASH
attic cultivation"

FATHER LOEB PASSES
AWAY IN CHICAGO

FESSION AND TRIAL OF HIS

i'll for several months with heart dis
ease, expired tonight at his Chicago
residence. He had been brought back

who. with Nathan Leopold, jr., was
sentenced to life Imprisonment for the
kidnapping and murder of Bobby
Franks. This shocking crime weighed
heavily upon the father of the muir
derer, and doubtless fastened his
death. After young Loeb confessed to
his share in the notorious crime his
parents went to their CharlevoixI es-
tate, where they remained in the clos
est seclusion during the trial OF the
murderers Neither of them attended
the trial and neither of them visited
their son while he was in Jail here
His mother has paid him one briei
visit since he was taken to the peni-
Tertiary. The father and mother kept
in touch with proceedings through an
other son, who was present at all ses-
soins in the court
Was Active Business Man.
Mr.. Loeb was So years OF age and
until few months ago was engaged
in the most active period Of his busy
life His brother. Jacob Loeb, an at
torney, was formerly president OF the
school board OF Chicago during one
OF the stormiest periods in its history.
Mr.. Loeb was born in Rockford,
ILL.,, but came TO Chicago in his youth
full days He graduated from the city
schools and took course in Johns
Hopkins university.

NEW INDUSTRY WILL
MEAN MUCH TO SOUTH
MANUFACTURES A SUPERIOR
MATERIAL FOR WALLS AND
CEILINGS AT FAIR COST.

PLASTERCO, Va.-Recent open
ing of the Sheetrock wall board mill
of the United States Gypsum Com
pany here means the launching OF a
new industry for the southeast. The
plant will manufacture 100000 square
feet a day of freproof gypsum wall
board and will be the only one in the
southeast producing this building ma
terial
This plant was built to enable the
Georgians to obtain better walls and
ceilings at moderate cost. Before now
they have had to pay freight rates on
wall boards made in the north. But
the Plasterco mill has easy access to
the Atlantic Coast Line, the South
ern and L. & N. railroads and
through them to the A. B. and A.,
the Central of Georgia and others
serving Georgia, what insure rapid,
low-cost deliveries to small cities as
well as the larger centers; and 1t
means that lumber and building sup
ply dealers can get wall p1asters,A wall
board, lime and other products of the
United Gypum Company in mixed
car lots at carload freight rates.
Sheetrock consists OF gypsum rock
mined at P1asterco and converted into
sheets 3-8 of an. inch thick and of sizes
convenient to fit the studding of any
room. These rigid easily handled
units. which can be sawed and nailed
like wood, are used as substitutes for
ship-lap and other inferior finishes,
thus making possible a higher stand
ard of home building.
Because these large sheets are quick
and easy to apply and freproot, 15,-
600 feet Of Sheetrock is being used Tor
all the guest and public rooms OF the
new Valdez hotel at Naldosta, Geor-
ga. One of the facts that determined
the owners to select this material is
that unlike pulp or fibre wall boards,
it can be painted, calcimined or pa
pered. Uncle Sam is another south
eastern user OF Sheetrock, More than
100000 feet Of it. is being installed in
the permanent barracks OF the Y. ).
marine corps at Quantico Va.
1t is being used there because, be-
ing made OF rock, it cannot ignite.
Also. gypsum is one of the best insu-
Iators known; so this wall board shuts
heat in and cold out, reducing fuel
bills i'm cool climates and increasing
comfort in hot regions Thus it makes
possible more sanitary more comfort
able and more beautiful homes, at
low cost.

SOUTHWEST GEORGIA
FIELD TRIALS IN LEE
DOGS FROM ALL SECTIONS OF
STATE WILL COMPETE FOR
CUP NEXT MONTH.

On November 18th there will be
held in Lee county on the Scrutchens
and Pryor plantations a field trial, the
first to be attempted in this section OF
the state. The field trial will be held
under the auspices of the Southwest
Georgia Field Trial Association, OF
which DIR. " B. Oliver is the presi-
dent, and Lucas Theirs secretary and
treasurer.
The majority of members of the as
ISOLATION are men of southwest Geor-
gia. including some in Terrell county,
who own blooded dogs. However,
membership to the organization is not
restricted to dog owners of this sec
ton. Much interest in the event has
been shown by sportsmen throughout
the state, and the trial should attract
large crowd to Americus.
John C.. Grant, of CORTLAND, Ala,
and w. L. McElmurray, of Waynes-
boro, both deans in the field trial
world have been appointed by the as
sociation to act as judges.
Lucas Theirs, secretary OF The or
ganization, says many people are not
very familiar with the procedure and
rules of field trial and requests that
all desiring information and who are
interested should communicate with
him.
Mr.. Theirs says: THE purpose OF
"a field trial association is to improve
the pointer and setter by holding COM
petition in field work and to create
more interest in the intelligent work
of the dog rather than the actual kill
ing of birds. Dogs are entered IN
three classes. All age class, derby
class and puppy class The puppy
class is for dogs under one year, the
derby for dogs under two years, and
the all age class includes any dog
over two years.
The dogs during the trial are run
in braces, the places the dogs are to
take in the trials are drawn Tor be-
fore the running. Each brace of dogs
is run before the judges for. thirty
minutes in the heats. The winners OF
the heats are run for a sufficient pc
Rod of time for the judges to pick
the winners.
THE points on which the judges
will reward prizes are: the manner
and style in which the dog hunts;
speed, range, endurance and bird
sense" j.,
Mr.. Theirs states that the field trial
will open on Monday morning, Nov.
18th. with the puppy stake. Drawings
for the places in the puppy stake Will
be held the day previous to the run
ming.
Nine trophies are to be awarded the
winning dogs in the different events

Mobile Liquor Cases To Go On
 Trial Next Week

MOBILE, Ala, June 7.-(Special Leased Wire. .)-Identity of state "un- der-cover men," whose activities here caused approximately 75 indictments before the last county grand jury for prohibition law violations, will be re- vealed next week in circuit court when the cases are scheduled to go on trial. Shortly after the government authori- ties conducted wholesale raids in Mobile, bringing about the recent conspiracy case of 61 defendants, state law en- fOrcement officers were sent into Mo bile and worked under cover" and without aid of local, city or county officers, gathering information for presentation to the county grand jury. As a result of their work many indict- ments were returned and the majority of cases have been scheduled for hearing in circuit court during next week, the docket showing 59 cases charging pro- hibition law violations.
 In the list of defendants are five members of the Hartley family from the Satsuma community in Mobile county, against whom the state has made 15 cases of violating the prohibit tion law. Some of the defendants who are to go to trial have been subject to indictment in the federal district court.

As to the platform, everyone is writing blanks, but these will find their way to the waste basket as soon as Charles B. Warren of Michigan, picked mittee, gets here Monday. Word spread around that Coolidge would draft the world court plank himself. If so, this group will be repudiated. R. B.

 In most other respects, the platform will be confined to complimentary al- lusions to Coolidge and to the policies for which he has fought Of necessity, little can be said in detail because the republican congressman and senators voted against the President in the most important questions, such as taxes, bonus, immigration and the like.
