Lessons of tho War.
(LeSlie'S Weekly.)

The war is at least teaching us
the highest authority, directly from
Washington, that the high cost OF
living is due to the extraordinary de-
mand for food products and not to
the operation Of the so-callcd
! trusts" Hogs are selling at the
| Chicago stock yards at $40 a hun
! dred
No one dares say that the farmer
is not getting the price. When
wheat is 50 a bushel the best part Of
| this goes to the producer, and when
| cotton Is 25 cents pound the cotton
! raiser is enriched. When Mr.. Hoover
tells us til. ''honesl-:o-God' reason
why meats, wheat, milk and other
necessa ries are soaring to unheard-
OF prices we discover that the trusts
are not to blame.
1t is the over-demand for an un-
dcr-supply. The demagogic outcry
against the so-called meat, sugar.
milk and oil trusts Is no longer
heard. The demagogue has lost his
stock -in-trade. The trusts are
busted" and the cost Of living
higher than ever | wonder what the
crcdulous public, the poor dupcs of
these designing demagogucs. now
think Of their credulity and of their
folly in electing some of these trust
busters" and "railroad smashers" to
places Of power and responsibility?
Lever-operated clamps for the
hands and feet have been invented
in England to take the place of ankle
spikes for pole climbers, with the
added advantage that they can be
used on metal poles.

There's no reason why Mperson

1t is a pleasant, vegetable liquid

perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. 1t

Take dose Of nasty calomel to-day

Don't "Dump" Your Cotton.


The Atlanta Constitution, COM
menting on the foregoing article, has
this to say:
There is economic wisdom and en-
inent justice in the position taken by
Chas. J. Haden, in his communication
appearing in another place upon this
page. namely, that the producers of
cotton should this fall, after meeting
the governments demand for the sta
pie for war purposes, refuse to sell
their product for civilian cOnsump-
ton for price under what is COM
mensurate with the times and the
prices fixed for other necessary com
moditics.
AS Mr.. Haden says
"Compare the prices Of cotton with
those Of wheat and corn through a
period Of ten years, and then test by
the value Of wheat ana corn to-day,
and it will be found that 30 cents a
pound for cotton is approximately the
proper price, If the ratio be pre-
, served"
Thirty cents is for normal times a
high price for cotton, to be sure; but
! 30 cents for cotton is by no means
out Of proportion with 50 corn. $3.50
wheat and the inflated prices charg-
cd for practically every other com
modify on the market. And so long
as the producers and dealers in other
staples are permitted to charge "war
prices for their wares it is only in
keeping with justice and the spirit
Of fair play that the cotton growers
| should receive commensurate re-
turns for what they produce.
Of course, every farmer Of the
South wants to do his "bit" toward
the promotion Of the nations war
enterprises. and Should, as Mr.. Ha-
den suggests, tender the government
cotton for war purposes at a conces-
sion price. But there Is no reason
why. when that is done, the cotton
growers should not stand out fol
their full share Of the advanced
prices being demanded for commodi
ties generally.
This does not mean that there
should be any undue boarding; Il
contemplates no "hold-up" method.
no greed nor unreasonable demands
upon the consumers throughout the
world But 1t does mean that If the

TAKE OVER SHIPS OCT. Is.
All American Ships Over $500 Tons
Must Go Over.

Washington, Sept. 27.-Every
American vessel OF more than $500
tons dead weight capacity available
for ocean service will be requisition-
ed by the government October 18th,
the shipping board announced to-day
in statement giving the charter
rates IT. which the vessels will be
taken over American ships avail
able for ocean traffic total slightly
more than two million tons, but
some Of them already have been
taken over for the army and navy.
In most instances, except where
required for actual government SER
vice, the ships, it was said, will be
turned back to their owners for ope-
ration on government account, sub
ject at all times to any disposition
the shipping board may direct.
The rates announced will cut
sharply the present charter and
ocean freight rates charged by
American vessels. 1t is the intention,
it is understood, to apply them later
to any foreign ships chartered in the
United States.

PERU DEAlA NDS REPATRIATION.

minister at Berlin to present to the

satisfaction be given within eight

The I.orton was sunk inside Span

Break Long Threatened.
Washington, Sept. 2G.-A break OF
relations between Peru and Germany
has been regarded as probable since
August. when n German prize court
at Hamburg rendered an adverse de-
cision in the lorton case. The Peru
vian government, through it's charge
haffaircS. explained to the United
States government that it did not
consider that the sinking OF the Lor-
ton gave amy basis for action by Il
prize court and that any action by
Germany short Of prompt r"pi ration
would be unsatisfactory.
The decision Of the Peruvian gov
crnment to name Il minister to Wash
ington may have been due to the de-
cision to take Il part in the war. Mr..
dc Freyre, who has been IN charge at
the legation more than a year, has

If the present crop reaches the
maximum estimate, it will still be
short OF the years consumption. The
| worlds reserve stock of cotton con-
tinues TO diminish. Unless the spin
dies, which have long been running
overtime, fall below their normal
tasks. cotton famine Is imminent.
Such is the situation under war con-
ditions.
Peace would accelerate the de-
mand for raw cotton. The idle facto-
ries OF the Central Empires would
| suddenly call for large shipments.
The crippled textile industries of the
allies would be restored to full capac-
ity with correspondingly increased
| demand for raw material.
1t Is very improbable that any de-
cided increase in the production in
the South will be made in some
years.. The labor supply is impaired
by the negro exodus. The withdrawal
OF the men drafted from the farms
for military service will have a per-
ceptible influence upon production.
cool September has retarded the
opening of the bolls. The boil wee
VII continues its ravages through the
central and western portion of the
cotton zone, occupying from 40 to 60
miles of additional territory every
year. This pest. the most powerful
OF all elements in reducing the vol
ume and raising the value, will be-
yond doubt ,'over the entire Gotten
area within six or seven years.
The growers OF cotton are better
prepared to hold their product and
control the prices than they have
have ever been in the commercial his
tory OF the plant. The eleven cotton
States have produced in 1917 nearly
one billion bushels OF corn or practi-
cally one-third OF the entire Ameri-
can corn crop. The South is nearly
self-fed. That keen need Of quick
iiolcs lldl causes the outward ava
lanche OF cotton at ginning time
the money needed to meet the North
e.. !n's-is notably absent this year.
For each bale now sold to meet debts
there is surplus bale which the far
mer is free to deal with as he wills.
With the foregoing facts before him
he will likely hold it, and wait for
the expected rise.
Compare the prices of cotton with
those Of wheat and corn through a
period Of ten years, and then test by
the value OF wheat and corn to-day
and it will be found that 30 cents a
pound for cotton is approximately the
proper price, If the ratio be&pre-
served
If the cotton growers and dealers
will tender the government for war
purposes at a concession price follow
ing the example OF the copper pro-
ducers, and then demand from the
consuming public over the world a
price Of 80 cents pound, it will be
justice to the South and equity to all.
