A grand total of 4,757,240 soldiers,

1936 28,971
Total 469,541
These- figures show that the normal
death rate for the veterans was not |
reached until 1923, four years after
the Armistice, owing to belated fatality
of many battle injuries and privat
ions.
He-ginning with 192 1, however, the
death rate of the veterans showed
an acceleration from year to year.
Kxperts on vital statistics point out
that this acceleration will continue at
a faster rate eac h year from now on
until l?y I960 the majoritv of all the
veterans will have passed on.

POWERFUL JUTE INTERESTS
For some years Congressman Ful*
mer, of South Carolina, has been try*
ing to do something to break the bold
which the jute industry has in this
country, chiefly in the South where
jute bagging is used universally as
n covering for cotton.
A covering made from cotton itself
could he used and should bo used but
the jute people manage to stall off
all efforts of this nature.
This extract from a speech by Mr
Fulmer on his net weight bill delivered
some days ago arrests attention:
No other cotton country in the
world uses more than fifteen pounds
of- tare, and no other cotton country
uses old. heavy jute baging. not even
India, whore jute is grown, and every
cotton country except the United
States sells on net weight. Why is
everybody except the well-organized
jute interests demanding net-weight
sale? For the reason you would be
permitted to use around 200.000 bales
of cotton, low grade, that would he
manufactured into cotton bagging.
We would save? annually millions
of dollars, freights on useless bagging.
insurance, handling of grossweight
cotton in foreign countries
and mans other items.
M> net-weight bill is endorsed by
every organization interested in cotton.
the only people^ opposing the bill,
as stated, being the jute interests.
Tin jute interests'" must be most
powerful. The backing it gets in
Congress comes chiefly from New
England
Why cannot Southern congressmen
combine with some effect and rout

CCC Workers Die I
; In Forest Fires
Manahawkin, N. J., May 25.?Four
civilian conservation corps workers
attached to the New Gretna camp
burned to death tonight while lighting
a forest fire which swept through
many acres of pine woodland in
Ocean county.
The victims were not immediately
identified. Their bodies were found
in the vicinity of Stafford Forge. Midway
between Tuekerton and I3arnegot.
after the flames had passed on.
They were burned too badly to be
recognized.
They were members of a contingent
of fifty sent into the area on trucks.
At midnight, only seventeen of
these were accounted for but officials
expressed belief the others were scattered
and were out of danger. They
were to return to their camp later
for a roll call.
One of the group said they were
engaged in "back-firing" in the area.
"The wind . suddenly changed," he
said. "Most of us had never fought
fires before and did not know what
to do. The boss told us to run. We
jumped on a truck and hauled one j
fellow on just as we were leaving. |
He would have been caught, too, if J
we hadn't pulled him aboard."
Great Profit From Plot of Ground j
Hack in 1S07, John Jacob Astor. a
German immigrant, held a mortgage!
for $2f>.00<i on a parcel of land which
is now in the heart of New York City.
When the borrower could not pay,
Astor foreclosed and took the property
which now is among the most valuable
ground in the city, or In tho
world, for that matter. The Hotel
Astor "and other skyscrapers worth
hundreds of millions, stand on it. It
is estimated that this ground has produced
more than $100,000,000 in profits,
forming the Astor fortune which
lias now passed down through several
generations, a powerful argument for
more inheritance taxes.
Hens Pay Greatest
Profits In Spring
Clemson, May 23.?An average production
of 18.1 eggs per hen is shown
in the demonstration flock summary
for April covering 86 farms and a total
of 1 i>,376 hens, according to reports
received by P. H. Gooding, extension
poultryman.
The hens ate 19 cents worth of feed
each, and returned a total Income of
42 cents (including sales of eggs and
poultry), leaving an Income above
feed cost of 23 cents per bird for the
month.
The average monthly charge for in
terest, decpreciation on equipment,
and all other costs except feed is approximately
3.5 cents per hen, according
to records. Deducting this
amount from the income above feed
cost, the labor income for the month
was 19.5 cents per hen.
The highest producing flock with
less than 50 hens was that of Miss
Gilmer Blankenship, Union, with 31
Rhode Island Reds which averaged
20 eggs each. In the class of flocks
with 51 to 200 hens the 66 Barred
Rocks of Mrs. J. W. Bair of Orangeburg,
made the best record, averag
ing 2 4 eggs each.
J. H. Crews of Latta, had the highest
producing flock with 201 to 50u
hens, his 211 White Leghorns averag- ing
22 eggs each. In the class of
flocks with 501 hens or more J. C.
Hpting of Little Mountain, had the
