MOULTRIE, Ca, September 49,
The production Of live stock as an i'm

by w. G. Vereen, president Of the Moul-
trie Banking Co., speaking before the
Southern Live Stock Association here.
Eradication of the cattle fever tick

said, laid the foundation for develop

tries in the Southeast.
Immunizing treatment Of hogs solved
the cholera problem and swine santa
ton, he said, is solving the problem of
producing the kind of pork the public
wants at a profit.
Previously, he explained, there was
some prejudice against attempting a
large scale development Of the live stock
industry in sub-tropical regions.
"As banker" Vereen said, my ex-
perience is that a loan on cattle or
hogs that have been immunized against
cholera is a safer loan than cotton I'M

The report of the Finance Committee

AS generally predicted, the committee

AS to Hungary. the committee pro-

Miss Slade Says Omission
of Name Met With
Her Approval.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, September 25.-Miss Made
line Slade, daughter of an English ud-
miral who forsook her high position to
become a lowly disciple of Mahatma
Gandhi, was not mentioned In the will
of her mother as published few days
ago.
Lady Slade bequeathed an estate of
about $4,000 to another daughter, Mrs.
Edward Vernon. Miss Slade said that
she had requested the omission of her
name from the will and that it met
with her whole hearted approval.
Many years ago when first became
a disciple of Mr.. Gandhi," she said, II
took VOW of celibacy and non-posses-
sion. Therefore it goes without saying
that inheritance of worldly wealth from
my mothers estate would be contrary
to my code of living"
Miss SHADES father was the late

The British Open.
TT was easy to see that Mac Smiths
/ blistering pace in the two qualify
ing rounds would affect his next
start in the championship proper. In
the first place, a 10 and II are two
ing round. In the second place, it
is always discouraging to know that
two such great rounds as Mac Smith
shot don't count at all in the main
show, which is now on.
Two of the features of the first days
play were the work of young Henry
Cotton and the fine showing of Johnny
Farrell and Gene Sarazen, two ex-cad-
dies, born about the same time In the
same locality, both ex-champions. Cot
ton Is sure to be one Of the hardest to
stop on the British side. He now has
the experience he needed last year, for
he has the swing and the heart and
the confidence needed in one of these
72-hole tests.
After that first round, Mac Smith
should swing back to his old stride. He
could hardly be expected to hang up
three phenomenal rounds in a row,
but he can now step out again with a
rs to shoot against, instead of 10 or
II. That makes greater difference
than any one might think.
Class Counts.
TWENTY GRAND, the favorite, won
i the Kentucky Derby, and Camera
Man, the big favorite, won the
London Derby.
There always will be a big reversal in
stakes, but the big ones run fairly true
to class.
This is what puzzles the pickers in
tie coming meeting between Twenty
Grand and jamestown next week in the
Belmont Stakes. For they both have
class, almost to an equal degree.
Twenty Grand has the edge In stamina,
jamestown has the edge in speed. And
the margin isn't wide enough to show
any great difference in the early check

Steaming Up the Heavies.


THERE will soon be sound Of
revelry at night. Possibly the
sound of heavy bodies landing
with q resonant thud. At any
rate they are now steaming up the
heavyweights. The mammoths and the
mastodans are back again.
Five hundred and fifty pounds Of hui
man flesh will be hoisted into one ring
at Ebbets Field next week when Car
nera and Redmond start swinging, or
pushing, as the case may be.
Jack Dempsey writes from Reno that
his new stands are nearly ready and
for their 20-round tussle, and both can
take it in copious quantities. Stribling
and Schmeling are now entering the
more important stages of their training
periods for the Cleveland party.
In fact, most Of them are busy except
Jack Sharkey, whose only consolation
is that his man, Erne Schaaf, stopped
Maloney in 1 minute and 10 seconds,
when Camera could make no Roadway
in go minutes against him. Sharkey
will have to be tossed into the picture
before long, for while there is no glo-
rious history connected with his ring
achievements, the same can be said OF
all the others. And there are too many
who still believe Sharkey is the best OF
the lot. This part Of the debate must
still be proved.
At any rate, this Summer should see
a lot of the debris cleaned away and
piled over in one corner. 1t Is about
time. Not that civilization hangs
breathlessly on any such outcome. but it
is a tangle that might IS well be I'M
raveled for the benefit Of the puzzle
workers.
Another Challenger.
THESE are hectic days for Babe
Ruth. He is beginning to know
and feel the sufferings Of the kings.
Last Fall it was Hack Wilson who sud-
denly Jumped in and removed his
hon1e-run crown. This season it is the
amazing Chuck Klein who is setting a
terrific pace, which may never be
stopped.
The powerful Chuck has been a
home-run hitter for two seasons. But
when he opened the 1881 show with
two homers he issued his warning to
the Babe, Hack and all others. In his
first Western game he fired another
double broadside at the Cincinnati
Reds. lifting his total at that point
to IS.
Chuck is not only after the seasons
leadership, but also Babe Ruth's record
of 60 in a season. Hornsby calls him
the most improved ball player he has
seen for a long time. And this means
in fielding as we'll as in hitting.
The historic Babe is doing pretty well
on his own account, but he Is finding
it tough job to face some new chal-
lenger every year.

DECLINE IN STOCKS
PROCEEDS SLOWLY
Most Losses Are Fractional,
but New Lows Are
Recorded.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December l5.-The de-
cline in the stock market continued to-
day, but at much slower pace Many
Of the losses were only fractional and
would not have attracted attention had
they not carried the issues concerned
into new low ground.
A Boston bank failure OF considerable
size, involving five local branches was
the only important news at the opening.
1t is doubtful whether 1t had any effect
on stocks. The market was more con-
cerned over the foreign situation than
anything else. Sterling was lower and
so were marks.
The two issues which were pressed
for sale most insistently during the
morning were United States Steel and
American Telephone g. Telegraph.
The former dropped back to around
the 40 mark and the latter touched
l20. with Steel at new low and Tele-
phone at the old low. Large blocks Of
Telephone were taken, representing
apparently investment buying.
OIL stocks were weak. with Standard
of New Jersey under 20 and Standard
Of California and Teas Corporation
at new lows. Crude oil output de-
creased 2l,508 barrels daily for the
week ending December II, but only in
exceptional cases do stocks any longer
reflect trade conditions. Rather 1t is
case OF liquidation partly forced and
partly frightened. Facts do not count
Preferred stocks were again with
out support. United States Steel pre-
ferred went to another new low along
with the common, although no intel
ligent market follower has any doubt
whatever about the safety Of the full
per cent disbursement
Price trends were mixed at the open
ing.
A block of $4,000 shares Of Para
mount appeared at 7. of H. Standard
Oil Of New Jersey in lot of 5000
shares opened at 29l4 off rs. American
Telephone, in trade Of $500 shares,
opened at 1904, off lls.
The opening had been preceded by a
slightly easier tone in the London mar
ket and further discussions on the rail-
road wage situation. Gains about offset
losses in the rail list. Great Northern
preferred at 1873, off q, was the only
one Of the group during early trading
to reach a new low level. New York
Central was fractionally higher at 20
and so was Southern Pacific at 80 4.
Baltimore & Ohio at l6's and South
