Community Idea

Do you remember Acres of Di-
amonds," one of DIR. Russell II.
Conwell's lectures?
You will recall it was the story
of a man dissatisfied with his sur
roundings and constantly wishing
himself elsewhere.
He was one Of these chaps who
sees great things in the distance
but little worth while at close range.
The faraway was his land of
promise.
His local possessions, he felt
sure had in them nothing of value.
Finally disposing of them he
wended his way to where Oppor-
tunity seemed to beckon so en-
tcingly.
Here and there he wandered,
covering manv weary miles and
spending all his substance in his
fruitless search for the Elusive
fountain Of wealth
And all the while he was running
directly away from the very thing
which he was so industriously seek
ing.
For the land he deserted later
produced for the new owner such
riches as the former had never
conceived.
He was so busy thinking of the
brilliant prospects in other places
that he never got time to look about
and see the possibilities of his own
community.
What lesson this story has in
it for the tendencies so common to-
day!
Too many Of us think the Ian
OF erChantmont is always some
where else.
Too often we are prone to place
more confidence in the promise o.
strangers than in the statements o
our neighbors.
We are led to believe that ths
merchants of other places can givs
us better values than our home
dealers.
Their plausible advertising in
huences us to send away our mon
ey for the great bargains they offer
When all the while the merchant

Time To Drop The Hammer

Sioux City Journal: The wise
voter will let any bitterness that
has intermingled with his PARTISAN
ship ooze out through his fingertips
as he marks his ballot. Nothing is
to be gained by nursing Crouch,
politically or otherwise.
The pre sident who is elected to-
day will have cut out for him one
OF the hardest tasks ever assigned
to an American executive. He
must deal with our foreign relations
through period Of unprecedented
international ferment. He may
play an important part in bringing
the world war to a close under the
most favorable conditions for all
concerned, Even with the Oest
possible settlement the passions
developed during the war will be
slow in cooling. Both politically
and commercially a tremendous
game of international cross purpo-
ses will be played during the years
to come. 1t is important that the
American executive shah be able
to play a strong hand in support OF
a carefully worked out policy for
the conservation of our national in
terests. Whether his name is Will
son or Hughes, the president will
have need Of the cooperation Of
patriotic people in the strenuous
times that are coming. The pres
ident will hold office for four years.
That he will strive earnestly to do
what is best for the interests of the
country as whole will be admit
ted without question by most citi-
zens. Nobody is expected to give
active adherence to a policy he be-
lieves to be wrong. On the other
hand nothing is to be gained by
academic opposition.
Politics is as it is, When a fight
is on one must fight with the
weapons that are at hand Any.
way, one does. But it is foolish
to keep up the fight after the issue
has been settled.
Lets all drop the hammers, and
try to get back TO a neigbborly
basis.

Alfalfa Seed B'ingS
Sum OF $4,000

Wall Record: A. F. Mills re-
turned home Thursday morning
from a business trip to Lacrosse,
Wis, being there to take up with
John A. Salzer Seed Co., the mat
ter of them handling the Cossack
alfalfa seed raised by Messrs. Mills
and Morgan this year on their al
falfa farms north of Wall. Mr..
Mills contracted his crop, the seed
from 40 acres, for $4,000 and Mr..
Morgan sold the seed from 10 acres
for 81, 200. These are facts and
figures backed by contract with
the above seed house and these
gentlemen are now re-cleanlng- the

We expect to have time, either
next week or the week following, to
publish a lengthy article on Just
what Messrs. Mills and Morgan
have accomplished in raising alfal

eye opener to all and will be con-

pended and efforts put forth than

of our own community can do just
as we'll by us-and often a great
deal better.
Wouldn't it be a fine thing if we
should only learn to study the DOS
sibilities of our own community in
stead of imagining vain things
about the distance.
How much better it would be TO
show how well our friends can serve
us before assuming that those far
away can serve us better.

over the Mills farm. Mr.. Mills
lives about seven miles north Of
Wall, and be has all his alfalfa

GASOLINE BACK
Up To "A CENTS
IN SHORT WHILE.

Through misinformation about com.
petitive tanks and their prices, the
Americus Automobile Co., on Lamar
street, dropped to 23c gallon for gas
oline during awhile Saturday after
noon-but they are back at "a cents a
gallon, along with the entire city.
There is no prospect of a war by
tie retailers in Americus, along the
lines of the Johnson-Gewinn Co.
fight in Atlanta. When the news first
spread OF the drop by the Americus
Automobile Co., gasoline buyers heav-
ed sigh of satisfaction-for they
thought the fluid had begun on another
downward trend.

price of gasoline. The Federal Trade
commission has been advised, and in
yestigations are under way.
Americus will doubtless pay "a
cents a gallon for gas" until the
wholesalers see fit to drop on their
price. The cut of the Americas house
was in the belief that a cut bad been
made elsewhere and they were meet
ing what they thought was competi-
tion.
Americas has seen a drop of 2 cents
per gallon during the past several
weeks, and it is hoped that further re-
ductions will come-but the likelihood

ranged conference with the railroad
president to- begin at 2:S0 o'clock this

1 o'clock that thew will make no
statement bearing upon the situation
unless requested to do so by President
Wilson, the announcement Indicating
they will stand firm in the determina-
tion to defend the principle of abitra-
ton to the end.
President Wilson and the committee
OF railroad managers here in connec-
ton with the threatened strike, worked
steadily this morning to devise some
means to avert interruption of traffic.
The railroad managers are united in
the determination to reject the Wilson
plan as it stands, but hope to find
some means whereby they can accept
the eight-hour day basis and still con-
serve the principle of arbitration.
Representatives of the four brother
hoods held a short meeting shortly
before noon, adjourning to meet to-
morrow, awaiting developments in the
meantime. Both sides this afternoon
Seclared the situation serious, but not
altogether hopeless.
President Wilson this afternoon sum-
moned the railroads presidents to the
white house after being informed that
allwho could reach here within reas-
onble time were already IN Washing
Zen, and at $3.50 this afternoon rne
conference had not ended. At the be,
ginning of the conference spokesman
for the railroad presidents stated the
executives were prepared to suggest
the enactment of legislation creating
either board or commission to inves-
tigate conditions whenever trouble
threatens between railroads and their
employees.

MUCH TOBACCO GROWN
in STEWART COUNTY.

LUMPKIN, Ca, August I'll
One day this week there were several
wagon loads of cured tobacco passed
through Lumpkin going to the depot to
be shipped, it being the crop of several
of the citizens of the Chapel commun-
ity, of Stewart county.
This tobacco is bringing fancy
price this year and should encourage
US all to try to raise some to help take
the place of the cotton crop that it
seems we are destined to be forced to
give up whether we want to or not, for
the boil weevil is surely doing away
with the part of the crop that was
left after the storm, in hurry.
