SeIf-Feedinq Farmers

The Country Gentleman reports that Mrs. G. H. Mathis Alabama farmer and agricultural field agent of the Alabama Bankers Association. is devot ing most of her time to urging farmers throughout the South and West feed themselves She startled Southern agriculturists by advising them to devote only five twenty five to cotton. When they protested she replied: Where you now? You are flat broke and don't to know it." She pointed that if the farm entirely sef-sup- porting the profit on the five of cotton would be net.
 Probably farmers throughout the country will be slow to accept an idea which seems like a reversion to the methods early settlers. Yet there is thing attractive in the independence of farmer who obtains from his acres sufficient food for his family and his stock. The economic advantages of this plan will vary with different farmers. Some. perhaps will agree with Mrs Mathis when she says If you will raise your bread and meat the place, and bit more besides, power earth break you"
 The Alabama enthusiast suggests program like the following for year: In every twenty-five have eight in corn, five in oats in Irish potatoes. in sweet potatoes, half in pop and soy beans for hogs half acre in sorghum for moasses half in vegetables for current and for canning. and five six in mercal crops The stock would include hundred dollars worth of pork COW, calf do be kepD, brood mare and a mule colt This schedule might not do for all regions but it to show the sort of farming Mrs. Mathis advocates.
 There is valid why farmers should ac- cept a ready ymade plan. But they should compare the prices they getting for their produce with prices they paying for food and fodder The self-feeding farmer would have smaller commercial but, not being hard pressed for ready money he could study carefully the markets and find out how to sell to the best advantage Mrs. Mathis plan should not be dismissed without thorough in- vestigation.

Who is the power in the land That hath the sole, supreme command, Qn theory, please understand)?
 The public. Who gives this power to be used For it's own good and interest fused With no thought it should be abused?
 The public. Who suffers wrongs most meekly borne, By it's own servants held to scorn, Who comes out small end of the horn?
 The public. Who's told by those it put to serve That if it dares the least to swerve Course of it's business it has nerve?
 The public. Who sees all sorts of suffering near In strikes, but is spectator mere, Is told it must not interfere?
 The public. Who humbly stands aside to wait What is decreed to be it's fate? Who has no say but pays the freight?

WUPPERMAN'S $ WOES BEGIN JANUARY 1

Since liquor cannot be shipped into the state after the first of the year for personal use, we may count on more bootlegging than the county can control" said II. Wupperman, who on Tuesday was elected county attorney of Yuma county.
 MT. Wupperman believes that since California has remained wet Yuma, Parker and other towns just across the line will suffer accordingly. He stated yesterday that it would break the county to appoint enough depu ties to handle the situation which he believes inevitable.
 The personal use decision of the supreme court, he said, was the means to large extent of queling bootlegging. It will be recalled that this decision was rendered in the Sturgeon case, in which the defendant

MONSTER AIRSHIP
CARRIES FORTY MEN

Berne, Switzerland, June 19.-
People living along the Swiss bor-
der of the lake of Constance have
been greatly surprised over the move
ments of the new monster-airship,
much larger than all other Zeppe-
lins, that has been making trial
trips over the lake. The length of
this ship is said to be 240 yards, or
almost double that of other Zeppe-
lins. The cubic contents is even
more than double, and the number
of the gondolas is four instead of
two. These gondolas are said to be
armed with guns, machine guns and
a new kind of air torpedo.
Despite its huge bulk the ship
gives the impression of fish-like
slenderness. The steering gear
forms an exact cross. The motors
are 3,000-4,O0O horse power, able
to give the airship a speed of 80 Kill
ometers an hour. To avoid break
downs, the motors are in double
number. The crew is said to be 80
to 40 men. The ship can reach a
height of three to four miles.

COPPER COINS ADVANCE
IN VALUE

Peking, June 1O.-Thirteen thou
sand tons of Chinese copper cash
valued at 100000 Yen or about
s2,1SO,O0O gold, was exported from
Tsing-tau to Japan during the past
year. A certain firm in Shantung
still has in stock many thousand
tons of the copper money, and it is
estimated that at least twenty thou
sand tons in all have been gathered
in by Chinese dealers in Shantung
province since copper has become
high enough in price to make it,
profitable to buy the coins.
The Chinese government has a.
law against the expectation of the
square hole copper coins which Chi
nese carry on strings, but this has:
been disregarded by Japanese deal
ers. The value of the copper CASH
varies greatly in different parts OF
China. One Chinese copper cent is
usually worth ten copper cash. AS
the silver dollar is worth about 1875
copper cents, it could be changed in
to more than 1900 copper cash, an
amount Of copper far more valuable
at present rates than the gold equi-
valent OF silver dollar, which is
about SO cents.
