Bremen's bulbous bow show one of the reasons why the steamer is able to speed to New York across the Atlantic in a little more than four and one-half days breaking all records for liners The bulbous bow pushes the water down instead of aside reducing resistance and vibration thus giving the huge oil-burning turbines an to exert full on the hull Above full length of Bremen below left closeup of bw below right construction of bow as seen in dock Others Plan Fastest Boats Now Being Built NEW YORK July eral belief here is that the giant Bremen arriving from Germany i breaking all previous records will i not be the possessor of the world I record for ships of this class to cross the Atlantic for any length of time Rivalry along this line while not so extensively known is very extensive and vies with the airplanes There a ber of countries that will less challenge the record made by the Bremen within a short time The international race for the world record it is believed will consist of England trance and the United States There are known to be a number of fast ships building The great Great Britain's almost completed will take to the water within a short time ii not the extent of the Bremen is braving in being done The now the erty of the Cunard Line is U- to be in point of speed II is claimed an that this boat formerly the fleetest boat the At- has never been put to -j supreme test and there are of repute who verily be- lieve she will be able to equal if not surpass the rate of of the Bremen The former has a record of 29 knots per hour while the Bremen beat this by a record of knots It is not known whether the was held to this test however it is to have been made With the arrival of the big ship it was announced that an ican woman Adams of New York becoming

attention the possibilities of a rat campaign The Mayor at that time ex- pressed the view that each vidual should carry on a campaign against the rats in his own way but would make zone in- and see if the city could render anything more than moral backing in any campaign that might be launched Wednc.sday the club heard the report of the committee thru A D its chairman It was stated that a ruling

Future Cotton is still king and has been so decreed by The Horning Call and a number of the prising business men and chants of Laurel It has also been ordered and decreed that the farmer who is lucky enough to gather and bring to Laurel first bale of this season's cotton will be so to speak crowned the cotton king of this season The farmer will have ginned at the Laurel Oil and without any cost upon he wil receive a certificate which will be brought to the tor of the Morning Call who will issue him a one year's free sub- scription to the Morning Call and a blanket order upon the business whose announcement of prizes appear in a double page ad- on pages two and five of this issue The Morning Call together with the cooperating business concerns are sponsoring this event and our oly regret is that we had to turn a number of announcements down that came in after the space had all been taken Cotton is already beginning to the first bale may be expected on any day now An estimate of the value first bale of cotton brought in cannot be given at this time since the grower will find that he has not only gained prestige worth considerable but will be well paid for his effort Again this is not all since he will be rewarded in more ways than one Again he will be rated as the leader and will be given credit for his progressiveness Interest in cotton has never been greater than at the present time Indications are that there will be a very excellent crop Other ducts also will add to the ex- chequer of tho farmer this year however cotton will remain the old reliable and with the county agent's expert advice use of proper fertilizer and other modern methods cotton is in no danger of being off the list as the leading product Believe Drowned or Foul Play Search Started MERIDIAN
