drops in price, said the officials.
what is meant by making a liv-
ing at home is the growing of such
crops as will be needed to feed the
family and the livestock, with enough
of the 'ready-money crops such as
cotton or other products not neces-
sary for home use, to bring an income
for the farmer, said j. ]. Brown,
commissioner of agriculture.
During flush times, when cotton
went to fancy price because of war
or after-war conditions, the all-cot-
ton farmer may have been in clover,
but the years that have followed have
not helped this type of farmer, sagri-
cultural department officials pointed
out. Instead, it was shown, they
have probably reduced to nothing any
surplus the fancy cotton prices may
have provided.

GEORGIA FARMERS
DIVERSITY CROPS
TILLERS OF SOIL STEADILY
GETTING AWAY FROM ALL
COTTON IDEA.

Atlanta, Ga, May 6.-There are
more farmers now in Georgia and
other southern states who diversity
their crops than was the case twenty
five years ago and many more than
were here fifteen years ago, it was
stated by officials of the Georgia De-
partment of Agriculture. Diversifi-
cation has been spreading among the
farmers steadily, the officials said,
and the result is that many Georgia
farmers are better able now to stand
a bad cotton year, because they have
produced on their farms the things
they will need to feed their families
and their livestock through the year.
II would seem, department officials
say, that these farmers who diversity
their crops would serve as an object
lesson for those who still cling to the
sll-cotton idea. That the one-crop
idea is wholly wrong and disastrous
to farming prosperity. is shown
wherever the one-crop produced

DODGE BROTHERS
ENLARGE OUTPUT
TO MEET SALES

{ With record of II highly success
full years behind them, Dodge Broth
ers, Inc, are apparently determined
to make 1926 Guido all their previous
sales achievements.
The pace set by this manufacturer
during the first quarter and sa far in
April is discussed quite generally as
one of the fine achievements % the
industry. From tine seventh day OF
January, when prices were reduced,
there has been a constant accelera-
ton in demand for Dodge Brothers
Motor Cars and Graham Brothers
Trucks---Graham Brothers is a divis.
ion of Dodge Brothers, Inc.--with
the result that each of the first three
months successfully established new
record.
"Our chief concern now is produc-
tion," said E.s q. Wilmer, president
of Dodge Brothers, Inc. eve invest
: ed SIC, 600, 600 in new buildings and
equipment with the hope that for
once, at least, Dodge Brothers Deal
ers would be given all the cars htey
needed. DIN 1925 it was estimated
conservaitvely that they could have
delivered $4,000 more cars had they
been available.
''Dealers from all parts of the
country are wiring for more cars.
Our records show that there were on
April "a in the hands of dealers in
the United States 26,921 new Dodge
Brothers motor cars and Graham
Brothers trucks against which these
dealers held 1858 signed, untitled
orders. Spread the difference, 1888,
over a reorganization of $500 dealers
with their numerous selling connec-
tions and you begin to realize how
small the stock really is.
GAS a matter of fact, deliveries
right now are exceeding production.
During the week ending April "a, for
example, our total shipments to deal
ers in the United States and Canada
were 1854 and our deliveries 1866.
We had expected to add materially
to our stocks for several weeks yet
before deliveries were made from
surplus. Z
Every year heretofore thousands
of persons who wanted Dodge Broth
ers cars have been compelled to take
a second choice car, with the result
that other companies have thrived
on our overflow. This year, with all
our determination to cut these sec
ond choices to the absolute minimum,
history seems destined to repeat it.

WASHINGTON INSIDE OUT
A Weekly Panorama of Events In
the National Capital.
By PETER KEEGAN

The foreign diplomatic set has be-
guns1tthuckle loudly over the Tacna-
Africa problem, in which the United
States is vainly trying to settle a
dispute of long standing between
Chile and Peru. If the opinions of
representatives ON many leading
European nations are worth any
thing, the administration has suffer-
ed one of the most crushing setbacks
experienced by American diplomacy
in many years. Since the plan for a
vote by inhabitants Of the disputed
area was withdrawn. Secretary of
State Kellogg has been conducting
direct negotiations with the South
Americans in an effort to settle the
problem of just who has title to the
two provinces, The plan for a plebis-
cite was offered by President Cool
idge who was selected as arbiter.
When that was rejected by both ma
tions and Pershing was huTriedly
withdrawn as president of the COM
mission something akin to- panic
reignsd in American diplomatic cir
Giles. The shadow Of a general South
American war hovers over the nego-
tiations although experts agree this
possibility is fairly remote. 1t is gem
orally admitted that President Cool
idge will think long time before
again accepting such responsibility
Over the protests of many leading
Republicans, farm relief legislation
has finally been laid before the
House. 1t is an open secret that the
type of legislation now being sup
ported by the administration was
"soft pedaled" earlier in the session.
Defeat of Senator Mckinley at the
Illinois primary, while running on a
Support the President" platform,
made the powers that be sit up and
take notice. 1t now appears to be a
foregone conclusion that RADICAL
agricultural legislation will be rushed
through the House. Not so long ago
President Coolidge was understood to
favor only mild measures such as the
Haugen bill for encouraging the for
nation of farm cooperative organiza-
tions. The middle West, however,
exerting the strongest kind of pres
sure, caused a general "about face"
Tom Blanton, Democrat, Texas, is
puzzle to many House mmbers.
Bianton's latest exploit was a de-
mand for the impeachment of Dis
trict of Columbia commissioner,
Frederick A. Fenning, who was re-
Gently appointed by President Cool
idge. Blanton claims that Fenning
mismanaged funds of veterans while;
acting as their legal guardian. The
fiery Texan is known as an inveterate
talker and frequently has hard time
Fitzgerald leader enterprise and press. (Fitzgerald, Ben Hill County, Ga.) 1921-1964, 1926-05-06

He is regarded by many members as a
typical demagogue, while others con-
slider him to be an able legislator. On
several occasions Blanton narrowly
escaped open fights with members
during committee hearings. Once he
was publicly censured for inserting
material which the House regarded
as obscene, in the Congressional
Record.
One of the most amusing pieces of
wire-pulling on record is now under
way. Outstanding "Drys" are vieing
with "Wets" in trying to secure the
release of notorious bootiegger who
was indicted by the Grand Jury after
escaping from the House office build
ing. Cassidy's customers were nu-
merous. On the day he was accosted
Cassidy had just delivered liquor to
the SON Of an outstanding "Dry." In
fact he was seen leaving the Repre-
sentative's Office when q suspicious
capitol policeman ordered him to
halt. Although regarded as an I'M
usually close mouthed fellow, it is
feared that Cassidy. might talk if
sufficient pressure were brought to
bear. That is why many representa-
tiyee who vote dry hutr drinks pa se-
casion, would like to see him released
as soon as possible.
The old West Point "silence treat
ment" is to be meted out to General
Smedley Butler for his part in con-
victing Colonel Williams of drunk
enness, according to military gossip.
This treatment frequently causes
high officers to seek a transfer to
other localities. At West Point and
Annapolis where it was originated, it
is the means used by the Cadets to
express their disapproval of an un-
popular officer. Entering the dining
room, for instance, the unfortunate
officer will be greeted by blank 81
lence. All conversation will sudden
ly cease and silence will settle down
upon the room until the disliked per-
son leaves Butler is accused of vio-
lating a fundamental rule of social
conduct in preferring charges against
his host shortly after dinner party.
So confident are they Of success in
the Congressional elections, that
leading Democrats are already par.
ceiling out committee chairmanships.
Many committees would automatical-
ly be headed by certain veterans, if
Democrats secured control of the
House. Party in power controls COM
mittees and is able to shape 'legisla-
ton by virtue of it's majority vote
even before it reaches the floor.

State Registrar Fred d. Ingstad to-
day called attention to the fact that
all motor vehicles used for the first
time after September need only

fec for that type of car to obtain a

Prince "0rdinafy Bow"

The threc-year-old crown prince
played with a coal-scuttle near the
fire. and managed to make himself
look like q chimney-swcep.
"Hc won't even look at his regular
toys" said the queen, shut insists on
playing with coal, mud. paint. and
everything else he ought not to play
with. In that respect | suppose he's
like any ordinary boy
When the correspondent suggested
know from her how it felt to be
queen. Her Majesty laughingly said:
well. can tell you there isn't
much fun in it, It's sometimes more
difficult to be a good mother than .
queen This baby takes almost all my
time. and ! have scarcely an hour to
devote to court duties, social activi-
ties. or anything else. In my girl
hood. l thought I'D be content with
just being a princess, but then fate
always spoils most of ones dreams.
Like by mother. try to give IS
much time to charitable and hospital
work as can; but you have no idea
how many other things queen is
called upon to do"
Retains Ch4fM
The queen said one of her greatest
problems was to acquire the Serbian
language and be be able to converse
with the peasantry in their own
tongue.
SERBIAN, like all Slav languages"
she said. sis incredibly difficult.
Only now, after two years effort. I
am beginning to understand the
language when | hear it spoken. but
I cannot yet speak it with any facility,
and Of course ! cannot read or write
it."
Queen Marie is no longer the
buoyant. vivacious. youthful girl one
knew in Bucharest five years ago
She is now essentially tho mature
mother. with more serious outlook
in life. Her former girlish bloom
graceful figure, and adolescnt fca-
lures have give. way TO a full. round
face, that suggests the Tcutonic type
figure that is almost obese. and
eyes that convey melancholy and in
trospcction. But the queen Of the
Serbs, Croats and Slovenes has the
same personal charm as Of old.

Responsibility of
Automobile Dealer
Adds to Car Value

I'm the final analysis. regardless
Of cost, design, or reputation, the
value of any automobile rests
squarcly upon its ability to render
satisfactory transportation to its
owner" says W. r.. Lahr Of the Lahr
Motor Sales company, "and this is
largely up to the local dealer.
mo manufacturer can make his in
fluence benefit the motorist save
through the car dealer in the place
where. the car is delivered to its Ill
innate owner. In practice, if not in
theory, the responsibility Of the man
ufacturcr ceases when the ear is de-
livered to the dealer.
THE mOtorist must look to the
local dealer for responsibility for the
operating needs Of the car. The
dealer is there for that purpose,
end when he has failed to equip him
self to undertake It the car owner
