Bethlehem's Bid on Shells for the United States Navy To Mhe American People: The Secretary of the Navy has awarded contracts amounting to over $3,000,000 to a British bidder for 14 and 16-inch projectiles for the Navy because of very much lower prices offered by the English bidders. We know nothing of the basis upon which the British bids were made, but the pub4 lic is entitled-to know the facts upon which we ourselves bid for this work. Two years ago we took contracts to make 4,200 14-incl shells at a price of $1,515,000. Up to now iot a single shell has been ac cepted by the Government, al though we have expended, In wages, materials, etc., on these orders $522,801, ani we have not received a SINGLE DOLLAR on these contracts. In addition. ai literal interpretation of 1110 contract might mnaka its liable for penalties amounting to $678.01. In the light of our experience, and hav ing no other basis, we bid for 16-inch shells approximately the same rate per pound as that whict the Navy Depart ment actually awarded a 14-imch shell contract one year ago.

Atlanta, Ga. - (Special) - "The greatest obstacle to permanent farm prosperity in the south Is the 'store bill' made for food and grain that could and should be grown on every southern farm," says H-. G. Hastings, president of the Southeastern Fair Association a'nd of the Georgia Cham ber of Commerce, in an interview on agricultural conditions in this terri tory. "A real garden," says Mr. Hastings, "properly prepared and planted, and kept planted throughout the seasion, wvill help more to -decretise store bills than anything else the farmer can do. "There are lots of wvhat I term 'one planting' gardens made, gardens with a few struggling r~ows of beans, a few dozen cabbages and tomaito planits, with some watermelon off to one cor ner, hut that's not real gardening any more than a youngster's first drawing of a cal or a (log on his slate, is fine art. Our' southern folks generally don't take the garden seriously, wvhen as a matter' of fact the right kind of a garden, containing a full line of vegelables and kept busy all season, is reasonably sure of furnishing at least half the living of the family. "I have never- seen a 'one crop' sec tion, regardless of what particular one crop was grown, that. (1id not. have a poverty-stricken look, wvith poor school buildings, chur-ches andl homes. "I have never seen a diversifiedi sectiori that did not have the signs ol prosperity sticking out all over it. "And on practically every farm in these prosperous (diversifled sections the hlome garden has an honored place. "I haven't a thing in the wvorld against the supply and general mer chants, but if all of our people woul( taike 'the home garden seriously, hall of themi would have to go out of bust ness for lack of trade.
