SELLING FERTILIZER
DIRECT TO FARMERS
COMMISSION MEN IN SMALL
Err TOWNS HAVE BEEN ELM
MATED UNDER PLAN.

SAVANNAH, Ga.-The fertilizer
companies have eliminated the com
men that formerly represent
ed them in the various towns through
out this section and this season they
will sell their products direct to the
farmers.
Instead of working through the
commission man, usually storekeepers
IN the various towns, the fertilizer
manufacturers are sending their sales
men direct to the farmers and the
farmers are ordering from the com
panies. The orders under the old plan
were taken by the commission men.
Southern Cotton Oil.
The Southern Cotton Oil Company
will continue to manufacture Scoco
fertilizers this season as heretofore,
according to an announcement.
The receivership proceedings will
have no effect upon the operation of
this department. Statesmen are now on
the road taking orders for the prod
ucts.
The Scoco fertilizer products for
this section are manufactured at the
plant OF the Virginia Carolina Chemi-
cal Company. The products are also
mixed at Dawson and other plants OF
the Southern Cotton Oil Company to
serve the sections in which those
plants are located.

NUDE DANCING BY
PUPILS SHOCKS CITY
PETTING PARTY HAS SENSA-
TIONAL DEVELOPMENTS.
SENT TO ATLANTA PEN.

TOLEDO, O.-Nude dancing in
the snow by two high school boys and
a 15-year-old girl today drew the fire
of the federal grand jury here, already
probing a booze and petting orgy OF
Scott high school pupils. A wild dance
in the snowdrifts on one OF the main
streets, when the son OF a prominent
banker and another boy dared a fresh
man high school girl to strip off her
clothes and take part-which she did
without further ado-shocked late pc
destrians into calling police it was re-
vealed today.
The happer admitted that luxuri-
Gus apartment has been maintained in
a downtown building by the hnancier's
son as gathering place for ''petting
cult composed almost entirely Of
Libby high school pupils.
New details OF the 'petters of 1925"
shocked the staid fathers OF another
generation in the federal grand jury's
continued probe today OF Scott high
school Thanksgiving eve party.
The party started tamely enough in
Collingwood hall, witnesses said, but
soon bootleggers appeared and imme-
diately there was flood OF liquor in
to the hall
To the weird African syncopation Of
a colored saxophone s.Etet the school
boys and girls grew giddy and more
giddy as champagne, gin and Scotch
whisky dimmed their eyes. Soon a
battle royal started over whose girl
was whose and in IS minutes the hall
was wreck.
Policemen who tried to interfere
were thrown headlong down the stairs
and into the street.
When the weary musicians showed
a tendency to slow up the wild caca-
phony of the dance pocket TASKS and
drinking cups were flung at them.
Ambitious PETERS, all in their teens,
found no comparative privacy in the
hall for spooning. They promptly
broke into the janitor's living rooms,
downstairs, and when he objected
threw him out and broke up his fur
niture.
One of the bootleggers who furnish
ed the liquor to the children has been
indicted and sentenced to Atlanta and
the jury declares all responsible for
the party, regardless Of social rank,
will be punished to the laws limit.

1914 TORNADOES IN
THE u. S. LAST YEAR
DID DAMAGE OF $2e,875, 10000.
OHIO HEAVIEST LOSER,
AND GEORGIA NEXT.

A total of 104 tornadoes in the Unit
ed States during 1924 caused approx
mate property loss OF $29,875, 000 Col
one1 John P. Finley, u. S. A., retired,
said in a 12-months study just made
public by the Insurance Press. The
heaviest single loss was $l3,00OO00,
suffered by Lorain, Ohio, in the dis
aster there last June
Kansas led among the states visit
ed by the "twisters," showing IL such
storms, Col. Finley found. Georgia
was second with Il, one more than
the third state, Alabama.
The most frequent tornado hour
proved to be from to 4 in the after
noon; tornadoes rarely beginning al
ter p. m, though sometimes tapping
over that hour if starting before
Tornadoes generally moved from
west to east and Col. Finley warned
all persons in their path to keep to
the right" The line OF escape was in
variably northward, he said; the south,
or left-hand-side, being far more dan
gerous. He also cautioned fugltives
from running northeast, east or south
east, always due north. A frame build
ing, he added, was safer than one of
brick or stone, holding together long
er when whipped off its foundation.

u. S. LOST 2 BILLION
OPERATING ROADS
HUGE SUM TAKEN FROM PEG
PIE TO PAY FOR GOVERN
MENT'S EXPERIENCE.

President Coolidge has just an
nounced the completion of the work
of the United States railroad admin
istration which operated the railroads
during the war and settled with them
afterward, all at a total cost to the
American people of $1,674, 100000
The settlement between the govern
ment and the railroads was one of the
greatest magnitude in our history, and
was effected without lawsuit, cir
cumstance on which the president
commented with qualification.
In concluding report to the pres
ident James c. Davis, director gen
eral of railroads, gave the following
account of the cost of our war time
in government operation
of the transportation systems.
Loss and Expense.
The loss to the government during
the period of federal control aggre-
gated $l,l23, 100000
The expenses of the guaranty period
are estimated by tn interstate com
merce commission at $536,000,000.
Amount required to reimburse small
deficit roads (short lines) under the
provisions of section 264 of the trans
portation act, estimated by the inter
state commerce commission at SIS
100000
This makes grand total of the loss
and expense of the government dur
ing the 70 months of federal control
and the six months guaranty period
at $i,674,50 100000.

municipal governments by the peo-
pie OF the United States tripled

1922, says a report from the census
bureau. The total paid in 1912 was
S2.131. 100000, but in 1922 the total
was $6,349. 10000, the report says.

PARENTS HELD BODIES OF
THREE DEAD BABIES ON
LONG TRIP. STARVING.

Starving and with three dead chill
dren clasped in their arms Mr.. and
Mrs. Edgar Biefelt were found in a
pitiable condition on train in Chi

nothing to eat for days.
Husband Was III.
Mr. Biefelt, a world war veteran and
father of six children, had a good job
in Los Vegas, n NJ. until he became
ill., Then his job went to another man.
The Biefelts decided to spend all they
had in the world for ticket to Cleve-
land, O., their former home. With
their six children they began the trip.
The day they started on the train
one of their children died. The next
day another died, and the third day
the third died So, when the family
reached Chicago, there were five in
stead of eight, and all their money
was gone. Also, they were hungry
and grief stricken.
Find Kind Friends.
In Chicago, however, they were fed
and comforted An undertaken offered
collins and buried the three children.
A society provided food in plenty. The
railroad gave them passage for the
rest of the journey.

arts, and much gold is lost through
use. Loss through fire, shipwreck and
other causes also accounts for much
of the gold that disappears.
One of the chief reasons for the dis
appearance OF gold is boarding, how
ever. While there are many persons in
civilized nations who store away gold
the chief hoarders are among the less
civilized peoples.
Natives OF Africa and many Oriental
countries store away the bright pieces
OF gold money that come to their
hands or string the coins as beads. 1t
is believed that the gold boarded away
each year is worth millions OF dollars.

Sponsors Of the amendment asserted
that the apparent failure OF the amend
ment, through its rejection by one
fourth of the states, will not result in
their abandonment OF the fight for its
adoption.
The fight can and will, they say,
be carried on by campaigns in the re-
jecting states, much after the manner
that the eighteenth amendment was
put through state legislatures.
The legislatures that have rejected
the amendment can reconsider their
action at any time in the future.
The campaign for ratification of the
amendment is being directed by the
American Federation OF Labor.

CHILD LABOR
LAW DOOMED BY STATES
PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO
CONSTITUTION ADOPTED
ONLY BY ARKANSAS.
GEORGIA SOLONS SET PACE
Under Proposed Amendment Children
Under 18 Could Not Work. Would
Take Many Thousands of Young
Negroes Out of Cotton Fields.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-When the
news was received in Washington a
day or two ago that South Dakota,
Oklahoma, North Dakota, Kansas and
Ohio had, through their legislatures
defeated the child labor amendment to
the constitution it also became known,
although in an informal way, that the
great states of New York and Penn
sylvania would also in all probability
register themselves against this kind
OF legislation.
SO far eleven states, South Carolina,
North Carolina Georgia, Louisiana
Massachusetts, Through referendum,
South Dakota, Oklahoma, North Da-
kota, Kansas and Ohio, have failed to
ratify the amendment and have placed
themselves solidly against doing So
One state only, Arkansas, has voted in
favor of ratification. With this ratio it
is evident that the amendment will
receive one of the most severe drub-
bings that any attempt to change the
met with before.
Is States Can Defeat.
1t requires the approval of three
fourths of the states to have the
amendment become effective With IL
states already against it, two most
likely to be against it, and with only
one for it out of total of IS, it is indi-
Gated that the people are clearly of
the poinion that it would not be a
wise thing to tack this amendment on
to the constitutions at this time
South Dakota, one of the greatest
agricultural states in the union, voted
against the amendment because it
was recognized, among other things,
that unless farming interests were
willing to suffer untold injuries, ex-
Guiding young farm help, male and
female from the fields, ratification
should not be affected
1t does not seem to be generally
known that in the cotton fields of the
south, among other things, the large
number OF negro children who labor
in the picking of the staple could not
do so any longer were this amend
ment to become effective. On the
farms even the children OF the farm
owners could not so work if they re-
ceived any compensation whatever
Worse than this, it would mean that
the last vestige of states rights had
been swept away and that federal
agents, with full authority to make
whatever investigation might be nee
essary, would invade the homes seek
ing out from those who might be un-
der the prescribed age, IS years, for
the purpose OF prosecuting employers
1t is now recognized by many that
this legislation was conceived IN the
Interest OF protecting the children Of
the land, but that in many ways they
would be done a great injury. The
wisdom OF the state legislatures is now
recognizing this fact almost as quick
ily as these bodies meet.
