The construction of the bond-built

Markets at Home.

In our desperation to reduce the
cotton acreage next year We must not
decide upon some other one crop be-
cause our neighbor has been emin.
emily successful with it. His success
may be due to the fact that most ev-
erybody else grew cotton, leaving him
an open market for his speciality.
AS an example of the poular no
tion, suppose we plant peanuts in
stead of cotton. The peanut is one
of our surest crops and at prices now
being paid for the limited quantity
Offered is more profitable than cot.
ton. But if every other man grew pea
nuts before we develop the limited
market, the country would be i'm a
worse condition than it is for the
one crop, cotton.
Cowpeas usually sell for from 50
to SO bushel, largely because few
farmers have a surplus of peas. The
majority of armers raise cotton for
sale and few enough cowpeas for
their own use. But with our limited
market for peas, ii would take very
little acreage to produce more than
could be sold at profitable prices.
The cotton market, as much as we
complain of the waste and uneconom-
ic methods of handling the staple, is
better developed than the markets

Animals and animal products, such
as milk, butter, cream, beef, pork,

of the soil are con-
served.

IMPORTANT LIQUOR
DECISION IS GIVEN
May Legally Ship Goods Into
Dry Terri
tory.

franktort, ky., Nov. 1S.--Tht
law prepared by the agents of tn,
Anti-Saloon League and. enacted b,
1914 General Assembly has lifted tn,
discrimination against Kentucky dea
ers to ship into dry territory liquor
intended for the personal use OF
the consignee. just as dealers from
out of the state have been allowed
to do.
The Court of Appeals in an opin.
/ ion by Judge Miller decided this to.
/ day in the case of theAdams Express
/ Company against the Crigler & Crig-
/ Ter Company, appealed from the Ken
ton Circuit Court. Notwithstanding
the contention of Attorney General
Garnett, who was permitted to ar
que on the side of the appellant,
that the law was intended not to
repeal the prohibitory act of 1906,
but to strengthen ii with reference
to the Webb-Kenyon law.
Mr.. Garnett reviewed the history
OF the leginslation. He said that un-
der the act of 1906 transportation of
liquor into dry territory. except in
the case of a person carrying his
own liquor was prohibited; but the
court had held that this law did not
under the Webb-Kenyon act of Con-
gress prohibit shipments of liquor
from out of the state into dry terri
tory if ii was intended for personal
use; because the Webb-Kenyon act
makes unlawful init interstate ship
ments intended for an unlawful pur-
pose. He said that after this decision
the session of 1914 enacted the pres
ent law. and he ask the court to
give such construction to the latter
&C as would harmonize it with the
existing law.
The Crigler&Crigler Company Sc
cured an injunction in the Kenton
Circuit Court requiring the Adams
Express Company to accept eight
quarts of whisky consigned to F. NJ.
Mckee at williamsburg. Whitley
county. which is dry territory, 1t
under the act of 1906 dealers in
adjoining states could ship liquor
into dry counties in Kentucky, while
Kentucky dealers were prohibited
from doing so. and that the act OF
1914 simply gave Kentucky dealers
the same right enjoyed by dealers
elsewhere.
The Court of appeals affirmed the
judgement and said: The act of 1906
prohibited all shipments OF liquor
into local option territory, while the
act OF 1914 permits such shipments
under the condition therein prescrib
ed. and expressly repeals all laws
Herewith. 1t is clear
that both laws can not be enforced
The act of 1914 makes intrastate
for personal use lawful"
The act of 1914 makes it unlawful
to ship into or receive consignments
Of liquor not intended for the per-
sOnal use of consigness or for medi-
cinal scientific or sacramental pur-
poses, and requires the carrier to |
labeled. showing their con-
ents. and that records are kept |
showing the names and addresses of
,onsignor and consignee and the
purpose for which the liquor is to be
lsed.
"The conclusion can not be avoid

How Eroe-IraGe Has Helped Ger

The bitter fruits of Great Brit
aims Free-Trade policy have for
many years past been tasted in the
shape of constantly increasing pow
erty and pauperism. Twelve per
cent OF the population of the United
Kingdom is in need OF some form OF
public relief or private charity. But
Free-Trade has far heavier sin to
answer for-that of furnishing the
money that has enabled Germany to
carry on the most terrible war in hu-
man history. Sir Guilford Moles-
worth, an eminent authority on econ
omlcs. has pointed out this grim fact
in a speech delivered September %
at a public meeting at Bexley Heath
to promote recruiting in the British
army. On that occasion Sir Guilford
said:
Again, thirteen years ago. in a Sc
ries of letters published in St. James
Gazette, repeated this warning and
showed how the Germans in our COL
onies enjoyed greater privileges than
our own subjects and were thereby
enabled to capture our trade. We
were then purchasing from foreign
nations produce to the value OF about
G416,000. 0.00O year tmuch of it from
Germany, almost all OF which we
might as well have produced at home
or in our own colonies. with the ad-
vantage of giving employment to ur
own people.
The aggressive war by which Ger
many is devastating Europe could
not have been carried out had it not
been for two fatal mistakes OF Great
Britain: First, in furnishing Ger
many with the funds necessary to
prosecute it: and secondly. in disre-
garding the persistent warnings that
our army has been insufficient to
meet the crisis OF European war
With regard to the first mistake.
Mr.. Lloyd George has rightly init
mated that the "silver bullet" in
other words financial support, is the
most important factor in warfare,
and for many years we have been
supplying Germany with millions of
"silver bullets"
For years past we have been de-
lupel with uya m 1 "a nc q, aa ;,,.. .ho sooI
ish policy of recklessly purchasing
abroad much that we ought to have |
produced at home In a pamphlet |
published twenty-nine years ago, ad-
to this policy. said:
at has, with inconceiyable folly.
been impoverishing us, while furnish
ing our armies with the sinews of
war. to be used against u.s."
For years past Protected German
industry has been fattening at the
expense of free-trade Great Britain.
ierman products have constantly
lndersold British industry in the
British home market and also in the
British colonial markets. Now the
ubmarines, the big guns and the
ubmerged mines which Germany has
upplied herself, paid for with Brit
Sh money. are being used against
ireat Britain with dreadful effect,

A REAL FARM
SOCIAL CENTER
Senator Kenyon Advises Government to
Send Expert to Watch Iowa
Scheme

Washington, June 9.-1t has remained
for an Iowa banker farmer to come to
the front with a practical proposition
for the establishment of social center
in a rural community. For two years
the promoters OF the uplift for the farm
er have been talking about the need for
the social center in the country.
Jasper Thompson of Forest City,
Iowa through a letter from his son,
Bert Thompson, advised Senator Kenyon
yesterday that he was building a fine
modern house on his farm near Forest
City and that he wanted to turn this
house over for the use of the community
as social center.
The son warmly Endorsed the plan.
Senator Kenyon has advised the depart
ment of agriculture of the proposition
and has asked the department TO send
federal expert to Winnebago county, in
which Forest City is located. 1t is not
certain the department has the funds
available. If the expert is sent to Win
nebago county he can live in the house
furnished by Banker Thompson.
This is a practicable start toward es-
the social center for the rural
said Senator Kenyon. 1T
is fine thing, and | hope the depart
ment will send an expert. We must'
have social centers if the BOYS and girls
are TO be kept on the farm"
