Poor Pickles Plight

The pickle. so dear to the palate
of the school girl, has its troubles,
just as humans have theirs.
1t is said that the pickles troubles
come in great part, from infection IN
the seed or diseases which attack the
young, but ambitious, cucumber which
hopes someday to become one of the
"57 varieties"
But the worries of the pickle, or
cucumber, seem to be at an end; at
least, in the case of the pickle which
will be grown for Heinz by contract
growers, for seed, furnished for
planting this years crop, will be
treated with one of the Semesan dis
infectants, which We're discovered by
chemists, and which was shown by
the United States Department OF Ag-
riculture to be preventive of crown
gall in apple trees. Many other uses
for it have been discovered by agri-
cultural experimental stations and
farmers.
So, it appears, that regardless OF
whether or not the 5-5-3 naval ratio
is maintained or other motters of in
ternational Importance are settled,
the pickles welfare will be safeguard

Insurance Problems

What use is insurance it the under
writers decline to pay losses? This
question was brought before Congress
this week by the Near East Relief,
which filed its annual report and ac-
counting with the Senate and House
of Representatives, in accordance
with the provisions of its national
charter. The insurance problem was
presented to Congress by Cleveland
E. Dodge, copper millionaire and phil
anthropist, in his report as treasurer
of the relief organization.
"Our relief activities have eben un-
expectedly curtailed during the past
wear" said Mr.. Dodge" by the fact
that supplies worth $412,O0O were de-
stroyed by fire which consumed the
Near East Relief warehouse at r.
raeus, Greece, in July 1925. The
cause of the fire has never been de-
termined, but the organization was
protected by insurance with an Amer
lean company, which has so far re-
fused to adjust the loss, formally de-
nying liability on the ground of I'M
proper storage of medical supplies IN
the warehouse.
"We have felt that this conten-
tion of the insurance company was
uniustified, and have been so advised
by our attorneys both in Athens and
New York. We reluctantly filed suit
both in Greece and in the United

States, and these salts are now in
progress in both countries. The COM
pany's answer in the Greek suit not
only made an attack upon the officers
and managers of the work, but also
upon the charitable purpose and good
faith of the Near East Relief.
st is evident that the policy of the
Company is to resist payment of the
loss. Owing to congestion of the
courts in New York and the slowness
of procedure in. Greece, we cannot
hope to have the matter legally ter
minated inside Of year or two. In
the meantime the Near East Relief is
seriously handicapped in the carrying
on of it's relief work"

Mr. Wellborn said he thought the
section should turn it's attention more
to manufacturing in all it's phases,
and that agriculturists in the section
should prepare to help attract those
engaged in manufacturing lines.
Hitherto advice has been given
the farmers to feed themselves, and
quit buying foodstuffs from the West
and Northwest" said Mr.. Wellborn,
but | think they should go further
than this and feed the wage earners
of our manufacturing plants and our
rapidly growing cities in the South
east"
Mr.. Wellborn pointed to the fact
that the textile industry of New Eng
land has turned more and more to
the South. In addition to supplies of
coal, he spoke of the rapidly develop
ing electric power.

WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHlNG 1ON LIZ L ER
y There has been very little change
in the Industrial world within the last
few weeks, and the government wise
men who have been figuring it out
on their dope sheets are agreed that
since the New Year the industrial ac-
tivity of the country has increased
slightly over the close of 1926. On
the other hand. prices have gone down
a little as compared with last year.
To take up the slack in the situation
the Federal Reserve System has fur
nished slightly better terms of cred
it, which have made the money mar
ket easier. The Capitalization brought
about through the Federal Reserve
System is again proving its elactici-
ty since without it the country might
feel an industrial depression at this
time.

Dates for Citizens
Military Training Set

The Commanding General of the
Fourth Corps area at Atlanta, has
just given out information through
the Executive Officer of the 325th
Infantry to the effect that the Citi
zens' Military Training Camps for
Southern Georgia trainees will be
held at Fort Mcpherson, Ga, Fort
Moultrie, S. c., and Fort Barancas,
Fla, from June Is to July Ia next.
All eligible young men are urged to
put in their applications at once as
only small number will be allowed
to attend owing to the 1imited appro-
priations for that purpose.
This training is without expense to
the Individual, as the government
furnishes transportation, food and
clothing, including all necessary
equipment and medical attention
while at camp. All physically sound
young men between the ages of II
ana "a are ellSiDle W Apply IL vi
der 81 however consent of parent IS
necessary. The mere submission of
application is not sufficient as
trainees must receive an order dl-
recting them to report before attend
ing camp. All must be protected
against small poX and typhoid. Vac
cine for typhoid is furnished by the
government and the necessary ply
sical examination may be given by a
regular Army Doctor free of charge
when the applicant is near an Army
Post, otherwise it must be given by
civilian physician, preferably
member of the National Guard or
Reserve Corps.
All the posts selected for Southern
Georgia trainees are excellent, and
it is hoped that great many young
men will take advantage of the op-
portunity offered by the government
for this military and citizenship
training and summer outing. The
work will be pleasant and profitable.
Most of the afternoons will be devo-
ted to recreation and athletics for
! basic trainees, but the 3rd and 4th
wear trainees will be required to do
some work in the afternoon except
Wednesdays and Saturdays. IT any
Young men are in doubt about attend
ing they are urged to talk with those
who have attended previous camps.
Application blanks and other IN
formation may be secured from Cap
tain T. J. Jackson, Room POI, Post
Office building, Albany, Ga, who is
in charge of securing applications for
South Georgia.
Trainees from the following coun-
ties will be sent to Fort Moultrie, 5.

Growth In Industry
Seen In Southeast

Atlanta, Ga.-The piedmont Sec
ton" of the Southeast is destined to
he more and more the manufacturing
part of the United States, in the opin-
ion of Hon. M. B. Wellborn, COVER
nor of the Federal Reserve Bank OF
Atlanta. This section, he pointed
out, stretches from Birmingham, Ala,
to Virginia and is traversed by the
Seaboard and Southern railways.
The reason given by Mr.. Wellborn
for the manufacturing possibilities OF
the Piedmont section is, as he states,
"its splendid climatic conditions, the
presence of raw materials close at
hand, and the plentiful labor supply
that is available"

Certain clergymen are accused OF
being "red." Their accusers want
them investigated by Congressional
Judiciary Committee.
A clergyman is "red" when ne
doesn't believe that whale sWal-
lowed Jonah and coughed him up on
the land
He is "red' if he believes that the
advice to give all to the poor was
really meant seriously.
He is "red" if he doubts that JOS
hua made the sun stand still IN It's
trip around the earth, in spite OF the
fact that it doesn't go around the
earth.
He is "red" if he says the four an
gels could not have stood on the four
corners of the earth because it hasn't
four corners.
And he is BRIGHT red, if he thinks
anything should be done to let every
body have enough, here, where so
many have too much.

Ancient Beginnings of Arbitration
Move

The Arbitration Crusade, which Is
attracting attention in Washington,
owes it's start to signer of the Dec
laration of Independence, William
Floyd of New York. Not only to the
inspiration of his activities l5O years
ago. but actually to his cold cash.
For another William Floyd, descend
ant of the signer, and organizer OF
the new crusade, has given into Its
treasury the money obtained from the
sale of a part of the old signer's es-
tate on Long Island, no foot of which
has been out of the family's hands
for two centuries.
"My ancestor was a forward-look-
ing REBEL" says the Floyd OF today
"He was never a fighter for the JOY
of the fight, bue he was determined
fighter in behalf of every cause ne
thought right. He would have ap-
proved heartily of this modern cru
SADIE which is designed to beat swords
into ploughshares by outlawing war;
and he would have approved OF the
sale of his ancient acres in behalf OF
this cause"
Treaties providing. for compulsory
arbitration are not new. Sweden
and Belgium have just concluded such
, +ra.+v Sweden. Denmark and Fin
land have thus made war impossible
among themselves. Sweden ana
Czecho-S -Slovakia can never fight.
To show the value of such treaties
;s tho self-imposed duty of the Ameri-
can Arbitration Crusade. 1t is send
ing out thousands of petition cards.
which. when signed, are forwarded to
President Coolidge. Copies of the
netition may be obtained from the
American Arbitration Crusade, ia
Fast s1st street, New York City. The
,atition reads as follows: ITO the
President of the United States;
"I a citizen of the United States,
respectfully request that you nego-
tiate treaties providing for arbitration
or adiudicating of all disputes that
NAV arise between the United States
and other nations, beginning with
Great Britain. Such treaties will au-
tomatically outlaw war between the
contracting parties and inspire SINH
lar action throughout the world"

Red, and Bright Red

The good thing about American
prosperity is that it spreads further
and further from the great control
sources of wealth. In ancient days,
rich nobleman in his palace was
surrounded by ignorant, miserable,
half-starved, barefoot peasants. La
ter the owner of a great factory in
New England had the Hsaticfaction"
of knowing as he lay in bed before
daybreak that the men and women
were already on the way to his mill
to make money for him and earn for
themselves barely enough to keep

Slavery can be and has been as
bad on a "wage basis" as on basis
of physical slave ownership. Modern
industry, highly productive, intense
ly organized, immensely profitable,
takes a step toward civilization when
it allows those that do the work and
produce the comforts to have some
comfort for themselves.
Those colored women, driving their
husbands to work, in good automo-
biles, will cause the foolish to ask,
"Dear me, what is the world coming
to-" 1t is coming to better days,
greater happiness for the crowd ana
greater security for the few that skim
off the cream.

That has changed and will change
more. Millions of men go to work in

widens their sphere of labor. A car

change is as important, almost, as

1t would have interested you to
see a Southern Pacific train getting
ready to start from Oakland one
evening last week. Half dozen
well-kept good automobiles drove up,
one after another. A man, well
dressed, contented, prosperous-look-
ing, got out of each. His wife, who
changed to the wheel to drive the
car home, was prosperous looking and
proud to take her husband to his
work. Those were colored porters of
the Southern Pacific cars and their
wives.
What a change from the days of
Uncle Toms Cabin, and the change
is as great for white workers as it
is for colored men. Seventy-five
years ago pious New Englanders, ex-
cited about abolition" and the ter
rible lot of poor black slaves in the
South, were told by the late Albert
Brisbane, "By all means free the
black slaves in the South. But what
about your own New England factor
les? What about the white women
who go to work in your cotton mills
before daylight and get home after
dark? 1t is worse than black slavery.
because the black slave owner keeps
him fed and healthy that he may con-
tinue to live and work, whereas you
don't care what happens to your
white slaves, since you can get, for
nothing, more when they die"
