Farmers in Americas yesterday from
Sumter and surrounding counties re-
port their fields still white with open
cotton, although picking has progress
er very we'll during the week. Farm
labor is still scarce, while the towns
harbor the usual number of idle ne
groes, comparatively few of them 60
ing to the country in response to the
urgent demand. On plantations her9
strenuous effort is being made to get
the cotton picked.
And the same conditions prevail n
the other south Georgia counties-lack
of labor.
There are more idlers than usual ar

Georgia Boy Picks $50 Lbs.
in One Day

Griffin, Ga, Sept. 24.-Hugh Crowder,
farmer boy, has set the record for
this county when it comes to picking
cotton, that may also be a record for
the state.
Between sunrise and sunset he pick
ed $50 pounds of the staple, according
to claims.

at a price per pound lower than that
asked for roast alone by the pound.
Where half carcass is bought in ad-
dition to the chops and roasts, the
family will have a fore-quarter and
meat for stewing. The sheep is ve:y
convenient for purchase this way, as
il is small and can be kept in an ordi-
nary refrigerator. Frequently families
combine and buy a whole carcass and
divide it, and in this case get still
better prices and obtain expensive cuts
at a low average per pound. The spe-
cialists of the department advice wo-
men who find the cost of other meats
oppressive to investigate these guam
tity buying methods and also to LOOK
into the differences in prices charged
for lamb and mutton by different re-
tailers in their heighborhoods.

CUTTING THE BUDGETS

The Glacier wishes to follow up sug
gestions made last week, when it called
to the attention Of the local public the
fact that the officials of many cities
and counties were promising their resi-
dents the strictest economy in the ad-
ministraton of public business the
coming year. While the great supply
of American gold, amounting to prac.
ticaIly So, 600, 900, 900, stands as a bull
wark of our national credit, on account
of the war no great enterprises will go
forward. Indeed, money is going to be
tight, and the rate of interest bids fair
to be high. And yet there is no cause
to worry, if he American people prac.
tice individual municipal and public
economy.
1t is the duty of our city and county
officials to study their budgets closely
this fall and to cut every item that
will in the least smack of eXtrava-
gance. II the taxes are placed at the
lowest possible point the coming year,
the apple valley should not feel the de-
presslve effect of the curb of large
business enterprises caused by the Eu-
rOpean war.

Harmony Among Republicans

To the voters of the state of Oregon
We were candidates for the nomination
for the office of Governor in the Repub-
lican primaries, and were fairly and
honorably defeated by Hon. James With
ycombe. He has always been true
and loyal Republican, is a good, clean
man with a good, clean record and in
our judgment would make a good,
clean governor.
Each of US sincerely and earnestly
appeal to our respective personal and
political friends throughout the state
to haromnize and unite the Republican
party and to rally to the support of the
Republican policies and principles and
to vote for and Loyalty support all of
the nominees on the Republican ticket.
Oregon should no longer be politically
misrepresented in the state or national
capitals, and should be placed in the
Republican column where it rightfully
belongs. Signed,

A TRAP FOR MARINERS.
saImadina Bank, Of CoOmbia's Coast.
Is a PeriIous Shoal.

10 q TCTiiONo
One of the most dangerous places tor
navigation is the Salmadina bank,
which lies just outside the harb0r Of
Cartagena. Colombia. Many vessels
have come to grief on the treacherous
sands Of Salmadina in the past, and
because of the impossiblity Of keeping
buoys on it the shoaI is a constant
menace to ships plying those waters.
This dangerous bank is about four
miles long and two miles wide. There
is scarcely more than twelve feet OF
water over it at any time. The sea
is usually smooth in that part of the
Caribbean, and unless there is ground
swell enough TO cause waves to break
on the reef there is nothing to warn
the navigator that he is approaching
this shallow spot. He may have his
read going and get plenty Of water
one minute and be bang up on the
shoal the next.
The lighthouse people will probably
never be able to put buoys on Salma-
dina that will stay there. They are in
varIably carried away in the terrific
hurricanes that periodically sweep
these waters. So it seems as If Salma-
dina was a bad spot put there for the
permanent worrimcnt Of shipmasters.

THE PIONEERS

Today is pioneers day in Hood River
and the Glacier hopes that the early
settlers of the Hood River valley may
enjoy many more reunions as pleasant
rs that planned today. The stories that
will be told at the library hall,
where the pioneer men and women will
meet, will be we'll worth hearing.
The talks of S. f. Blythe, Newton
Clark and Il. l.. Smith, the latter of
whom will celebrate his 77th birthday,
are always interesting. Their recount
ais of the hardshps, the endeavors of
the early days impress on us the
mighty tasks they accomplished All
honor to the pioneers.

THE $500 EXEMPTION

We note that the members of the
East Side Political Research club have
been looking with disapproyal on the
eight hour law. The people Of the Up
per Valley have also seen fit to ctfer
criticism. 1t is very natural; for it
would be a death blow to the frsncher,
if he could only employ his help for
eight hours per day. The farmers
children could work but eight hours.
1t would render impossible burdens for
the housewife.
And there is another initiative bill
to come before the people at the No
vember election that will work just as
many hardships on the people Of the
state. That is the 81. sou tax exemp-
tion bill. This is a veiIed measure, ard
many a taxpayer. without stopping to
think, will vote for it, On the face OF
it it would give every taxpayer an ex-
emption of $500 But somebody must
pay the taxes of the state. In case the
bill carries, the burden will fall on the
heavy property owners. But, in fact,
it will fall Indirectly on every citizen
Of the state. DO you think tnat capital
will bear the burden alone! No!
The rates of interest must surely in
crease. Capital will be driven out of
the state. 1t will stand IN the way Of
employment for the working man. 1t
will work a hardship upon the lancher
who needs the money to develop his
place. The business man, in need of
funds to increase his shop, the facili-
ties Of his store or his factory, will
find money hard to get.
The citizen may vote for the exemp-
tion, but at the same time he will add
burdens that will soon make him rue
the action.
And the voters must take into con-
sderation that the measure is single
tax bill in disguise. Real estate will
not be exempted, one will find on read
ing the clauses of the proposed meas
ure closely.

OPERATION FATAL
FOR G. A. VAN ANDA

Although he rallied from the first
shock and friends were hoping, on ae-
count Of the clean life he had lived,
that he would recover from serious
operation performed the hrst Of last
week, G. A. Van Anda suecumbed
Monday night at the Cottage hospital.
Mr.. Van Ands, who was native OF
Pennsylvania, having been born in
Williamsport on March 4, lS49, was one

zens. He came to Oregon Il years ago.

China's Millions.

Any figures for the population Of
China must necessarily be more or less
unreliable, inasmuch as the census man
is not much In evidence in the land Of
the Celestials. The estimate, which is
probably somewhere near correct, Is
4O2, 100000. As to whether the mil
lions Of China will ever become thor
oughly modernized ir the sense that
the japanese are remains to be seen.
The Chinaman possesses plenty Of
good sense and there seems to be no
valid reason why he should not some
time "catch on" to things and forge
ahead with the rest of the folks.-New
