Thus will many farmers in-Georgia

buy LADCO now. LADCO will make
cotton three weeks earlier and beat
the Dol! weevil. LADCO will release
potash in the soil and make it pos
sible to put bols on the stalks and
to prevent black root. This is not
theory, but results by actual tests by
successful planters all through the
southeast.

That coterie of lawyers at Albany

justice with a protest against the APP
pointment of Judge Parks as success
Sor to the late Judge Lambdin, has
won itself an unenviable name over
the second congressional district. Be
cause they had opposed Judge Park
for congress and because he beat them,
and because of lot of other pure Gus.
sedness they are trying to keep the
second district from putting Judge
Parks into the place. This is strange,
Judge Parks is their own home man
and the honor would be quite con.
siderable one to have for this section

wishes in this one instance. 1t might

Richland gets off fifteen cars OF corn
to market, and all this in time OF 70
cent cotton. That's a mighty good
sign. When a Georgia community can
spare that much and then keep from
buying it back two or three times
over in the spring, that's a better
sign; and then it can sell corn and
food crops all the year through, and
buy nothing back to supply itself, that
is the best sign.

Boston Baked" Beans Now to Take Place of

Washington, May 17.-Amerfcan consumers will have to deny them selves canned beans and canned soups Of all kinds for time, under a -deci- sion of the war can committee today, which cuts off the supply of cans to packers of those foods, <
 The committee, comprising tin plate makers, can makers, canners and gov- ernment officials, holds that the short age of tin makes it imperative that cans be supplied only to packers of perishables and of foods absolutely necessary to the national existence.
 The order will be effective for 60 days or perhaps longer.
 All cans made in the country win go for the time being to canners of fruits and vegetables and to Canadian canners of soups and beans for troops have agreed not to use canned beans sufficient supply of cans can be ob- tained for all purposes. Soldiers at the front iu France. it is held, must use canned products because of a lack of cooking facilities.
 No cans will go hereafter to packers of, products who can substitute paper or. other containers. No tin will go to packers of a hundred different kinds of toilet articles and many other commodities.

That is for China and Japan to stand together through thick and thin. We shall presently be called upon to face a terrific competition from the people of America and Eur ope. After the Great War in Europe none of us can tell just what will hap pen in the economic conditions of the world. China and Japan must stand or fall together" .

An outstanding figure in Germany to-day is Count von Hert1ing, prime minister of Bavaria It has been re- ported that he will succeed Von Beth mann -Hollweg as chancellor of the German empire. The Bavarian aatszeitung, the organ of von Hert- ling. said that Germany does not ex- pect to obtain indemnities and that the principal features of her peace ne- gotiations must be an agreement with her enemies to obtain raw material, protection of German interests in for. eign countries, permission to develop foreign trade to her utmost capacity, the return of all captured German ships and of her lost colonies. This, says the Staatszeitung, would be equiv alent to an indemnity of many mill lions. It remarks that Germany's s war debt of 12.O00,000,0O0 is small compared with the national fortune of $75,000,0o0,000, which increases $2,000, 100000 yearly, and the coun- try can afford to drop demands for indemnities.
 The Catholic and conservative news papers assert that this statement, is the result of von Hertling's recent visit to Vienna They criticise his views as too lenient toward Germanys foes

 Does this mean, then, the old rheu- my skeleton of Asia for the .Asiatic'' coming back to life again? It would mean that. perhaps, if Japan did not have a few other considerations to consider For example the United States is a very, much greater custom CT of Japan than China herself. Japan cannot afford to throw the American market overheard to hog the Chinese market. Japan, with all her war pros- perity, cannot afford the luxury of throwing away a gold dollar to mono polize a silver 50-cent piece. Her in- terests lie rather in the direction of cooperation with American finance. This she sees clearly. She is eager to go hand-in- hand with the American interests in the work of developing the resources of China. Moreover, there is another consideration besides the American dollar.
