SUPPLY mi DEMAND.

Every few days farmers, espec.
tally cotton growers, says the Sat.
urday Evening Post, are solcmnly
warmed against co operating to
control prices, on the ground that
prices must he left to supply and
demand.
The play of supply and demand
has relatively little to do with fix
ing the price of anything. 1t gov
erns fluctuations in price, which
are usually only a small part of the
total price. Probably mt this writ
ing the demand for coal, relatively
to the supply, is much stronger
than the demand for diamonds F.;
but coal doesn't sell higher than
diamonds. 1t would be absurd to
say a table costs fifty dollars and a
chair five because the demand for
tables, relatively to the supply, is
ten times as strong as the demand
for chairs. The first factor in fix
ing price is the cost of production.
Farmers arc quite right in insist.
ing upon the first and greatest fac
tor cost of reproduction. Moreover,
their CO cooperative plans, instead of
flying in the face Of the law of sup
ply and demand, work in conform.
ity with it. They propose to con-
troll fluctuations in price precisely
by controlling the supply. Only
that part Of the supply that is Of
fered on the market, or that buy
ers believe will soon be offered, af.
fects price.
For practical purposes, billions
of tons of coal under the ground
have no influence on the price. The
Brazilian coffee valorizatiOn scheme
for example, has controlled hluctu
tions in price by controlling sup
ply. If the Steel Trust manage
ment operated its mills always at
full blast, offering the products
right and lest at whatever buyers
would bid-with a blind and sim.
pie minded notion that it must
leave prices absolutely to the law
of supply and demand-it would
be brought before q commission in
lunacy.

County Agricultural Commissioner.

The action of the Board Of Supervis-
o-s of Noxubee in abolishing the Office
Of County Commissioner of Agriculture
will be a distinct disappointment to
many of our citizens. The action taken
was not due to any dissatisfaction with
the work of Mr.. Haddon, but was a
measur of economy. We understand
that Mr.. Haddon filled the Office well
and was assiduous and intelligent in
the performance Of his duties,
Now that the boil weevil is upon us,
II ever a commissioner of agriculture
was a good thing, this present time is
the time.

Mr.. Sessions says that the water is
now 81 feet above sea level in Gatun

the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific

His trip from Panama was an excit-

head of the house Of south side fam
lily last night as he grabbed water
bucket and started on a run for

word passed from house to house and
the south side had the biggest; wooz-
lest celebration in the history. When
daylight came some of the old regu-
lars We're still on the job but most

Federal officers were the cause OF
iit. They found eighty barrels OF beer
1900 bottles--think Of that many
cold ones in dry territory-and pro-
eeeded to seize and destroy IT, The
federal law prohibits the breaking of
bottles when beer is found, so the
federal officers got a corps OF cork
pullers aud proceeded to pull the
corks out of the $500 bottles, pour
the beer into buckets and throw 1t
out of the window So the south side
had free beer party with 1900 cold
ones. and but few invited.
Wash boilers, water buckets. dish.
pans and every other receptacle that
could BE utilized were brought into
use to catch the beer as ii flew ont
the second story window of the stor-
hge plant. The dishpans We're in fav-
or. they caught more than the buck,
cts One man az time would get
into position and shove the dshpan
into C0sition to catch the shower Of
beer. When the dishpan was par
tally filed he would pass it on to the
next man and grab an empty dishpan
and the beer thus caught and saved
was poured into the wash boilers

cold beer as long as il collectively
and individually could stand up TO II,
the noviCes soon had to take a back
seat both az the capturing and drink

on and on until the last cold one was
emptied and dashed out of the win

The officers with wen directed aim
would now and then pitch a bucket
'lful OF cold beer down on the head OF
