Though there has been Investigation in
Georgia it is still too much of a one-crop
state; it depends too much on cotton, and
the same is true of every state in what is
known as the cotton belt region. A surplus
is produced over the quantity the world will
buy at prices remunerative to the cotton
grower 1t ought to be plain that what is
needed is not more legislation, but elimina-
ton Of the surplus.

murder in Pennsylvania. In other states men

as though the state of Pennsylvania might
with credit to itself confne that boy for the

HONOR TO MEMORY
/ OF BARD OF AVON
Dinner by English-Speakin
Union Celebrates Shake
Speare's Birth Anniversary.

1.-The English and Americans are as
alike as two blocks OF granite hewn
from the same rock"
This was the keynote of the speech
of Langdon Mitchell of Philadelphia
It the dinner given by the English
Speaking Union of Washington, cele-
brating the birthday of Shakespeare,
at Rauscher's last night. The dinner
was attended by about 200 members
of the union.
Throughout the dinner speakers
characterized Shakespeare as the sym
bol and exponent of the uniting in
nuence of the English language.
Warns Aginst Greed.
Mr.. Mitchell the principal speaker,
In the course of his address, warned
against greed, trade rivalry and the
anonymous, press as the fundamental
causes of war. The capital behind
our press" he said lis anonymous, and
Germany. for instance, could, with a
billion dollars, come to this country,
buy up our press and propa gandize
! our country for ten years without our
knowing it,
AS a means of maintaining the har-
monlous unity caused by the use of
the same language, Mr.. Mitchell urged
the production of Shakespeare in
every town and hamlet in the country.
Cui ~ Dul
this new Little Theater movement
see the revival of Shakespeare for all
America" he said.
Heads of Nations Toasted
Col. Robert NJ. Thompson. presi.
dent of the Capital Union, was toast
master At the outset he called for
toast to King George. This was fol
lowed by toast to President Coolidge.
DIR. George MacLean, another
speaker, urged the countrywide ex-
pansion of the league to promote
unity among the English-speaking
peoples. DIR. MacLean was one of the
founders of the Capital Union.
Admitting the impossibility of the
prediction that there cannot be future
wars, Admiral w. Fl. Brownson, re-
tired, said, in a brief address, that
despite the Revolution and the War
of 1912, there now appears no posi-
bility of English-speaking peoples
warning against each other.
Lauds Spirit of Unity.
The last speaker was Brig. Gen.
George Richards of the Marine Corps.
He told incidents of the friendships in
war engendered by the use of a
common language and lauded the
spirit of unity in world peace for
which the English speaking peoples
are now making a stand.

BERLIN. April 24.-The German
post office department is about to try
an experiment which probably stands
unparalleled in the history of postal
delivery. 1t will permit firms sending
out advertising matter to particular
class or group of people to hand these
to the post office unaddressed, and
the postmen will be obliged to ferret
out the addresses.
For instance, a notice or advertise
ment of special interest to lawyers
can be handed to the post office In
lots of not less than 1000, with the
inscription. For lawyers" The post
man will then undertake to hand one
copy of the circular to every lawyer
of whose existence he knows. Again,
a circular may be labeled ITO the
housewife" and so on.
The charge for this service will be
two pfennigs-about half cent-per
