Harris, of Georgia, charged that the cotton exchanges are merely bucket shops and are working great injury to the cotton farmers. He not only made the charge but proved it by sworn testimony before n Hew York judge, testimony of farmer members of the cotton exchange. Mr. Horris said: "For many years the New York Cotton Exchange has been used prini plly to gamble in cotton futures ini tead of a place to buy and sell cotton in a legitimate way. The farmers of the South have los. nillions annually on account of this exchange, which has been used to depress the price of cotton and rob the southern farmers. For my part, as I have often stated in the Senate, unless we can confine this exchange to the legitimate buying and selling actual cotton and stop all gambling in cotton futures I favor abolishing the exchange. Nearly every year they sell cotton futures amounting to ten times the number of bales of cotton produced in the South. Congress should immediately pass legislation preventing the robbery of the southern farmers, who have suffered financially more than any producers in our country." If any reader of The Advertiser is in doubt as to what a bucket shop is let him read this definition taken from Websters Dictionary: Bucket Shop?An office or a place where facilities are given for making bets in the form of orders or options based on current exchange prices of stocks, grain, petroleum, etc., but without any actual buying or selling of the property, stock, grain, etc. X Ut*l I'll'., v 111 IJ I ill I h I'WUUII ?IIIU uilll'l farm products. REPUBLICAN MALADMINISTRATION In opposing some of the numerous and unnecessary appropriations of this Republican Congress, Senator King, of Utah, scored the G. O. P. leaders in Congress in this caustic fashion.He said out in Congress: "Mr. President, this Congress is not redeeming the pledges made by the Republican Party. It is bank mating the Treasury, increasing expen* ditures, borrowing money, issuing short-term bonds for hundreds of millions of dollars. Economic disaster has overtaken the people. "Corn was burned for fuel under the administration of Harrison, and now the same thing is happening under this administration, and there has never been a financial panic since the Civil War in this Republic but what had its inception during a Republican administration and the panic-breeding legislation passed by that party. Through its manipulation of the Kedrflspruii l?w it ti'ic .lofl-i f ..<) tl?.. currency and brought untold hardship and financial embarrassment to business ull over the country." JUSTICE TO THE FARMERS A bill in Congress provides for loans to farmers up to three years time on warehouse receipts. In an address to the Senate banking commitw e Mr. Cray Silver, of the American Federation said: "Take the toll gates off the financial road which the farmer has to travel," and that agriculture was entitled to necessary credit facilities in equal terms with other basic industries. Mr. Silver contended that growing crops, live stock and matured crops ? in bonded warehouse were the simplest collateral for agricultural loans, and moreover, were "safe" collateral. HENRY FORD AND MUSCLE SHOALS While pas-iing through Atlanta, Mr. Henry Ford was interviewed by the Atlanta Journal and he expressed ' himself regarding Muscle Shoals in these words: "If Congress would give me the, right to develop Muscle Shoals, there, would be no need of a bonus; I'd provide good, steady jobs for those boys, j "Within 12 hours after Congress told me I could take over Muscle Shoals,; J would have thousands of men on the j way there to go to work, and preference would be given former soldiers i and sailors. "I know the opposition interests i are moving heaven and earth to block : the acceptance of my bids, but I am ' fighting and intend to keep on fighting > until I land the property. "And when I get, I'll do the very, best I can to develop it fully just as quick as I can." Mr. Ford said the first thing he would do would be to develop the J manufacture of nitrate for the farm- : era. He said it would be sold to them | at the cost of production plus X per cant, adding it was his policy "never to aak more than a fair profit for what I produce." * The manufacturer said he wanted ' possession of the shoals not for his 2fn^ft?*ALhg^^^^^^neflt of the^ m? MI ? <mm ?? HOME DEMONSTRATION DEP'T By Mary C. Haynie Now that spring is upon us, it seems very timely to stress the importance of keeping our bodies physically "in trim." In order to do this, we need a liberal supply of IRON, CALCIUM, and PHOSPHORUS. Green vegetables, fruits, and lYiilk are our best sources for these three important minerals. To quote Dr. McCollum, of JohnHopkins University, in his "The American Home Diet:" "Many will recall how our grandmothers insisted on the frequent treatments with sulphur and molasses, the periodical dosing with bitters, and the efficacy of sassafras tea in the spring as a means of 'thinning the blood,' which was supposed to become impure and thicl^, during the winter. Among our pio ncer ancestors tne uien was generally accepted that there was a need for spring medicine of some kind. There can be little doubt that this belief tested on common experience. We know that in th early settlement of many of the states, the people suffer-1 ed great hardships. With little capital and no food reserve, their winter diet was generally very simple and monotonous and. there is good reason to believe that it was ehemcally unsatisfactory for the maintenance of health." There are still some of us who have this belief that we need "Spring Tonic," in the form of medicine. in order to become physically fit after a long winter. We lose sight of the fact that often our diets have been confined to seeds, tubers and cereal foods. Dr. McCollum further says: "It has been found impossible to nourish laboratory animals satisfactorily on any diet which is derived entirely from cereals (wheat, oats, corn rice I and oilier seeds; tubers such as thv* potato, turnip or beet, together with meats which are derived from the muscle tissue of animals (ham, steak, etc.). Even when fed a diet, containing wheat flour, corn meal, peas, beans, potato, turnip, beets and round steak, young animals have always failed to grow to more than two-thirds of their normal adult size, and they grew more slowly than they were capable of growing. The same diet with a liberal supply of milk added produced a remarkable contrast in similar group of animals fed at the same time. The above described diet of cereals, peas, beans, tubers, roots and meat is also remarkably improved by the addition of such leaves as celery tops, spinach, cabbage, turnip tops and other green vegetables. It is obvious from these results that there is some remarkable difference between milk as contrasted with any of the or uinury seeus, tuners, roots, and lean meat which are so commonly used as food for man and animals." With these convincing evidences in mind, we cannot stress too much, the importance of milk, fruits and vegetables, particularly the leafy vegetables in the diet as sources of these important minerals, iron, calcium and phosphorous. Iron for regulatory purposes, calcium for its bone building qualities and phosphorous for its function in helping build bone, nerve and cell tissues and to aid in regulating the neutrality of the blood, For iron, eat fruits and vegetables, for calcium, drink milk, eat celery, string beans, cabbage, cauliflower, carrots, and spinach; for phosphorous drink milk, eat eggs (yolk) spinach, onion, and whole wheat cereals. Milk is our greatest protective food and its use must be increased instead of diminished. The liberal use of milk has made us what we are. Xo family has the right to purchase any meat until each member has at least a pint of milk daily and this I regard as below the minimum. Milk is just as necessary for the maintenance of health in the adult as in the young. I have sought in vain for several years for a diet which was not only of a character which could support growth in a young animal, but which would maintain an adult in a state of health over a prolonged period. I am convinced that we should adhere throut^iout life to such diets as w 111 nuiurf normal growm in a child of three to five years, if we would maintain the highest, state of physical well-being of which we are capable. Let me repeat in closing that the dairy industry has made us what we are, and that any further reduction in our composition of milk and its products, will be reflected in a lowering of our standards of public health and efficiency.

SOLDIER BONUS BILL WINS IN HOUSE Washington, March 23.? The four billion dollurs soldiers' bonus bill was passed tonight by the House*by an overwhelming majority. It now goes to the Senate, where its fate is regarded as uncertain. The vote was 333 to 70 or 64 more than the two-thirds majority necessary for passage of the measure under the parliamentary procedure selected by Republican leaders for the expressed purpose of preventing the Democrats from offering a motion to recommit. ? Party lines disappeared,both in the general debate, and on the final rollcall, 212 Republicans, 00 Democrats and one Socialist supporting the bill HOW TO STAY YOUNG* Dr. Charles W.

Sam Brady was a member of a fighting family which made history " on the Pennsylvania border during the iii?ititi) wars nner w?e uevoiuuon. | Captain Brady's greatest exploit took , place in Ohio. He had been captured by the Indians a^l carried to the San dusky Towns, headquarters for all the Ohio tribes, whore the savages prepared to burn him at the stake. He was stripped, bound to a post and slow tires kindled around him, for the Indians hated him so much that ihey wished to torturd him as long as possible. Brady was a f>owerful man and he strained at his fetters until they were loosened slightly. Then with a final effort he snapped the last bond, leaped across the barrier of Maine and, seizing a squaw, pitelied her into the fire. Before the Indians could recover from their surprise, the scout escaped from the village and plunged into the woods, hotly pursued by hundreds of savages. Finally he came to the Cuyahoga river, near the present site of Kent in Portage county. At tills place the river flowed between steep, rocky banks. 22 feet across from side to side. The scout was trapped. There was no other place for miles up und down the river where lie could ford It. The Indians were closing In on him and Ids only chance .'f escape was to try to leap across the chasm. Brady could hear the savages yelling in the woods only a short distance Hvay as he ran hack toward them to get a good start. Then turning, he ved for the brink and putting nli his fr ling strength Into a tine' spurt, he * 'Uiig for the opposite cliff. His in.no was a little short and he struck lie hunk a few feet below the edge. 'Hie Indians stopped In amazement, then as the scout scrambled up over the edge, they opened tire. Tltey wounded him in ttie leg, delaying his (light, and in a short time were on his heels again. He came to a lake and plunged in. Stooping beneath the broad pads of a water Illy, he breathed through a hollow reed whUe the savages hunted In vain on the shores of the lake. They found his bloody trail to the water's edge and, believing that he had drowned rather than ho cap tured again, gave up the chase. Soon afterward Brady reached Fort Pitt In safety.

EARLY in the Eighteenth century the Russians captured Murlenburg, East Prussia. A squad of drunken soldiers rilled one of the principal Inns. In their search for valuables they opened the oven door of the Inn's htivo stove, made of porcelain, uud brought forth two frightened girls. One of tlieiu wns Catherine, a servant, and the other Marie, who was staying with her. Both girls were bewltchingiy pretty. The soldiers fell to fighting over their possession, when the commander of ilie Irfvadlng forces ^passed the inn. He heard the row, stopped, and commanded order. Catherine saw her chance. She leaned out of the window und gave the general one of her sweetest smiles. lie and another officer carried the two girls away. Soon afterward ITInce Menshlkov, favorite of the czur, and one of the most powerful men In Itusslu, came 10 inspect the army. He saw Catherine and took her away from the gen era I. Catherine soon had Menshlkov uu der her full control. Then came the czar himself, I'eter the Great, absolute master of the empire, lie also saw Catherine and claimed her. She fans a vampire who always succeeded. But Catherine was something more than merely n beautiful woman. Her judgment and Instinct soon made her Peter's most trusted adviser. He used to meet his ministers at a little house In Moscow where she was placed, and weigh decisions w|th Catherine's help. At last her domination over Peter became so complete that he marrleo the former Inn servant and had her crowned Czarina. Catherine's elevatIon by no means checked her vumplre Instincts. She was famous for her infidelities. William Mods, her court chamberlain, was tried on a trumped up charge and hung, really for a much more serious offense. Peter forced Catherine to wulk past the place ol execution, and crowded her so close to the willows that she brushed her former lover, hntiKlrig there. But she never flinched. Afterward Peter had the man's hend sent to her room In a bottle of alcohol. That Incident was typical of the half-mad Peter, who also was something of a genius, and of the period In which Catherine reigned.

An hour later the officials of the >ank began to wonder where Goudie vas, but the fact that his hat still emalned upon Its accustomed peg InII oh ted that the cashier wasn't far ~ tway, and that he would soon return. Sut at the closing hour that afternoon Goudie was still missing?and when an auditor went over his books t was discovered that a hundred and leventy-flve thousand pounds (some >850,000) had also disappeared 1 Inquiry at the house where Goudie ind lodged fulled to bring to light any race of the missing cashier, who had eft home that morning as usual, apmrently without any intention of being iwuy over night. His clothes were in lielr uccustomed position, and even Ids toilet articles were untouched. In fact. If It hadn't been for the disappearance of the money from the lank, the police would have searched the hospitals, on the theory that Goudie had met with an accident. But, as Frunk Freost, superintendent of Hmtlnnd Yard, nolnted out. it was hardly likely that a hank official and $tt."?<)tOOO would vanish at one and the same tlpie without some connection between the two events. "As luck would have It," continued Ernest, one of the ablest detectives In England, "Goudle has chosen the simplest manner In which to make his escape?the easiest from his point of view and the most difficult from the standpoint of the police. It Is comparatively simple to find a man who lays his plans In advance. You can usually trace Ids baggage or his railway tickets. But Goudle just walked out to lunch and lost himself somewhere. lie left only one clue behind him?Ids hat. Therefore, working on the assumption that a hntless man would he quite conspicuous, nnd that Goudle, knowing this, would Immediately purchase another hat. Freest made the rounds of the shops near the Liverpool hank. From the clerk In one of them he obtained the information thnt a man answering to the description of the missing cashier had purchased a cloth cap of n distinctive pattern only a few moments after noon on the day that Goudle vanished. By means of this clue and a detailed report on Bundle's appearance. Freost soon had every man connected with Scotland Yard searching for the ahscomii^g cashier. But It was several weeks before he was located and captured In a lodging house In the north of England. However, the arrest of the man who looted the Bank of Liverpool did not hy any means close the case. Even before lie was discovered, Freost '?ad found out thnt Goudle had been In the hnhit of playing the races ?patronising a clique of "hand-book men," who had played upon his cupidity In such a manner that they, and not he. had secured the benefits of his dishonesty. In order to recover the money, Freost therefore had to round up the members of this gambling ring and force them to disgorge. It developed that the lender of the organization, sensing a way In which to make a lot of money, without running any risk, hnd approached Goudle with an account of a "fixed race" which was to he run at Epsom Downs, and that the cashier, believing that he could cleun up a fortune In a single day, had taken twenty-five thousand pounds from the hank, fnlsifvlng the accounts to conceal the shortuge. The man's credulity Is evident from the fact that he placed the money at odds of *20 to 1, which meant thnt he stood to win half n million pounds, or $Z500,000 If his liorse came In first. Of course, no bookmaker could afford to v pay a bet of this size?hut Goudle overlooked thhs fact nnd cheerfully wagered his "borrowed" capital. The horse naturally fnlled to win, and, In an effort to recoim i>in i nuwi>U flin on oh ler commenced systematically to loot the bnnk's funds. m Ono of the odd features of the cane which Freest discovered, by blind luek, Ooudle one day placed a hi# bet on a horse that won. When he went to collect his bet. with the firm Intention of squaring his accounts with the bank, he was casually Informed that the wager hnd not been placed In time, and he was advised, to put it on another "sure tip," which lost. Wi.m his defalcations reached a point when It was hopeless to attempt further concealment from the bank authorities, ( nubile "went out to lunch." It didn't take Freost long to discover that. In planning a round-up of the gambling gang he was tackling one of the most difficult Jobs of his career. One by one Freost picked tip the various threads of the tangled case. One by one he followed the various *eiues, at least one of which led to the suicide of a member of the liook* makers' clique. Hut, In addition to seeing that Oouldle was sent to prison for ten years. Freost secured evidence which forced the return of all luit a small amount of money which nnu Dfrfii taken from the Rank of Liverpool niifl placed upon >orfw?s, which, save In n Mingle ln?tan<*>, had no chance whatever to win.
