THE SCRATCH PAD
By THOMAS EWING DABNEY

He was only about five years
old. He was dressed all in white
and wore red hat. He was by
himself and dark had fallen. He sat
in the mathematical center of seat
in an East Hill car.
Gradually the car filled with
grownups, who took the opposite
seat. This filled entirely before
anybody invaded the boys side of the
car, and for blocks the two different
camps studied each other curiously
the white dressed boy whose feet
just reached half way down to the
floor, and the somberly clad old
sters.
When the boys side of the car
filled in, the mutual reserve broke
down. A man asked him who he
was and where he was going. On the
first point he was vague-or is nom
committal the word ?-on the sec
ond he was positive that home was
his destination. He lived somewhere
in the uncharted Businesses of Da-
Wis street, it appeared. A policeman
had put him on the car near the
postoffice with this announcement
to the conductor.
But was the boy worried? He was
not. He held nickel MOSTLY in his
hand and looked the people relent-
lessly in the eye. All began to ask
him things at once-it amounted to
heckling, but he only deigned to
answer the last question that was
put to him-that is, if "don't know
and "I'm going home" could be
called an answer.
aren't you afraid?" he was
asked.
To which, in a big voice
"I'm not at all worried; are you? ?"
he replied, and you ought to have
seen the people ripple and quake and
shake and vibrate with laughter.
He was heckled no further.
There may be nothing in name.
but Charles Hughes, of America,
Sam Hughes of Canada, and Bill
Hughes, of Australia, all got the
grand bounce at about the same
time.
As Count Apponyi says, peace is
nearer than it was. 1t is at least
two years nearer than it was at the
beginning of the war, and maybe
more.

CITRUS cANKER.

OF importance to the citrus growers of
the state is the recent announcement by
Frank Sterling, general inspector Of the
Florida plant board, that citrus canker,
which at one time seemed to threaten the
industry has been completely eradicated
IN twelve of the twenty-one counties af-
fected when the work began in 1914 The
complete eradication of the disease is now
only matter of time.
Canker, which made its appearance
almost simultaneously from Florida to
Texas, was introduced into the United
States in stock imported from Japan and
Mexico its rapid spread was accomplished
by birds, which carried the germ on their
feet and wings, for this is one of the most
quickly infectious diseases there is. and in
sDectors going through the orchards must
change and disinfect their clothes fire.
quently
To fight the scourge, Florida growers
raised $4,000, sum supplemented BY the
legislature which appropriated S125, 600
The federal congress appropriated 5000
and other states have contributed various
Sums as we'll The Florida legislature will
probably increase its appropriation in
1917.
So far the only method of control known
is. the destruction of the infected tree.
Crude oil is poured over the tree and set
ahre. In some cases where the entire
grove was infected, the ground itself was
saturated with oil and fired, for canker
germs will thrive for long period in the
ground, even in the dryest of soils.

CITY AND COUNTRY.

Secretary of Agriculture Houston de-
scribed our greatest need when he declared
that business men and business organiza-
tions must join the other great elements
in society and become efficient students of
agricultural progress and efficient instru-
ments in lettering rural life"
One of the most encouraging signs of
modern economic life is that the city and
country classes are beginning to realize
how essential cooperation is to the welfare
Of both.
The business man, busted in the building
of great industrial centers, used to treat the
farmer with contemptuous indifference.
He awoke one fine morning to the fact that
agriculture is the basic industry, and tried
to patronize cit. This explains the vast
horde of lecturers and demonstrators which
banks and railroads turned loose upon the
country. Much good was, of course &C
complished-the beautiful thing about this
world is that there is good in everything
but it is only matter of the last few years
that the city men learned that not charity
not missionary work was needed, but CO.
operation.
E. E. Miller, editor of the Southern
Agriculturist, in a recent address along
lines, cited as illustration of this point, a
southern bank that keeps an agricultural
adviser, not to tell the farmer how to raise
crops, but to consult with the farmers who
wish loans, ascertain the purposes for which
they want them, and advise with them as
to the probable safety of the investment.
This is typical illustration of how the in
berests of farmers and business men
directly meet. The adviser is not only pro-
tecting the bank, he is also helping the
farmer in a perfectly legitimate and
business-like way.
Secretary Houston finds another illus
tration, in the South of thirty years ago, in
the banker who had sympathy and vision
and devoted his attention to cotton breed
breeding. After years of experiment he
succeeded in breeding a seed that would
produce an inch and half staple His
next task was to get enough farmers to
produce the cotton and create local mar
ket; it was new product and the ginners
and spinners likewise had to be won over

| found it sort of oasis. When cotton was
selling at IL cents pound in all the rest

business man had attacked the problem OIL
corn production and had won his fight

dentally made their towns

One reason for the high price of cotton
is found in information just made public by
the Bureau of the Census showing that
during the three months ending September
80, 1916, there were consumed in the man
ufacture of guneotton and explosives in
the United States no less than Sc, 991 ,059
pounds of b1eached cotton fiber. This
quantity is equivalent to 1882 bales of
500 pounds each.

seThe Fall of a Nation"

Why stage favorites go into mo-
ton pictures is easily answered by
Leila Frost, who was Emma Jane in
"Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.
That engagement with Edith Talia-
ferro was a joy, she declares, but
what followed turned the course of
her young career. She rehearsed five
weeks for a production that lasted
only one week. Then she went into
the films. Thomas Dixon selected
her for the ingenue in "The Fall OF
a Nation" and the wisdom of the
choice was proven by her extraor-
binary success in the role.

Now a great many men and great
many neWspapers-among them The our
nal-believe that the acquisition by pur-
chase of the great No Mans Land of north
ern Mexico by the United States presents
the only ultimate solution to the problem
that is giving both governments so much
concern. From Mexico City it seems i'm
possible to govern this t1uculent section
of the republic, which has brought to
the verge of hostilities so many times
already and which may precipitate us into
international chaos at any time
But only as last resort would the United
States consent to assure problem fraught
with so many difficulties burden in
hnitely greater than the Philippines; and
only if there was no other way of ins1ring
the lives and property of our citizens and
of restoring tranquility to our distracted
neighbor
To say that the United States is in need
of expansion, is the height of folly. CON
sidering the millions of acres of 1and-es-
pecially in the South-still undeveloped,
and the vast resources that have not vet
been untouched. When the United States
develops a population of three hundred to
the square mile, like Germany or seven
hundred, like Belgium-the present ratio
is thirty; when every acre is in cultivation
and industrial capacity attained-and still
the people multiply-it will be logical to
say that ''the time has arrived for territorial
expansion" but not before.
Such utterances only add to our inter
national difficulties; they excite distrust in
the suspicious minds of the Latin-Ameri-
cans, who understand conditions here no
better than the Waco Times Herald. and
