Recently in an adjoining town the
sheriff was Offering the goods and ac-
counts of a merebs,t for what he could
get. The accounts amounted to $1,000
and were sold for less than SO. Why?
Because they belong to that class of
people who never pay an honest debt
nor expect to pay one if they can help
il. The prime cause Of this state Of
things is the credit system. AS the can
Ger is to humanity so is the credit sys-
TEN to the business world. Politicians
are quarreling about protection and fice
trade, but if the system of pay as you
go could be>impressed upon the people
of the country, it would be a vastly
greater benefit than either. The credit
system caters to the morbid desire of Il
certain class Of people who live beyond
their means. 1t gives them chance
to get everything they want; not what
they really want but what they think
they want. Then there is a class Of
people who lack moral stamina. They
never pay book account, but may pay
cash when they can't get credit. These
human parasites are the cause Of more
real suffering than anything else under
our government, excluding whiskey. The
economy of nature, perfect as it is,
lacks one thing-a jumping off place
for dead beats.

HEAT KILLS MANY
HOGS IN SUMMER.

Many hogs diet from the effects Of
heat during the summer months. If
there is no natural shade in the pasture
places should be provided where the
hogs can get relief from the heat. A
cheap and practical plan is TO build
sheds with roofs Of poles covered with
straw and supported by posts. This
viii permit the free circulation Of air,
and if the water supply is near will
enable the hogs 20 pass the hot weather
season safely.

RELIEVE RICE SITUATION.

The recent rains have greatly re
lieved the rice situation and the big
pumping plants of the Abbeville canal
and the Hunter canal have started Vi
and begun furnishing water to the rice
farmers. The water in Bayou Yer
million is reported to carry about thirty
grains Of salt to the gallon, but this
quantity is said not to be harmful t,
the rice, as the rains which fall on the
fields will dilute this to some extent
Early planted rice is heading out rapid
ly and will be ready for harvest during
the middle of August.

Here is a way suggested by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture to make it blend into soups o.

Stir into each two tablespoons of

Old Emperor Saw Clearly.

In 1875, when France was recover
ing from the war of 1S7O-71, the Ger:
man government, or at least the mill.
tary party, it was said, was proposing
to crush her once more. When Delane
became satisfied as to the accuracy of
the report, he published, on May 6,
the story. "The effect produced by
the revelation Of the German plot was
instantaneous, universal and pro-
found. Both the Russian emperor
and Queen Victoria appealed to the
German emperor to stay his hand.
The German emperor denied the truth
of the queens allegations. and SEN
tence in his letter is worth recalling
today in the reign of his grand on:
NO one is more thoroughly convi ,ed
than the writer that he who pro- kes
war in Europe will have the .lolc
of public opinion against him, az will
accordingly have no ally. no nj ltrale
but, rather, adverse ies.'"
The bystander. [volume] (Des Moines, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1917-10-26

III there was any doubt lurking in
the minds of the people that the Col
ored- American would play conspi-
scuons part in the great war, it was
dispsdlsd a few days ago when Sec
rotary of War Baker, announced thru
the official bulletin that Emmett j.
Scott Of Tuskoge had been appointed
as q special adviser to the war de-
spartment in reference to part the
scolored citizen is playing in the con-
hict. It is generally conceded that
the choice is wise, and the well known
ability of Mr.. Scott as the secretary Of
the late DR.. Booker T. Washington
and diplomacy in dealing wit hthe
Librarian mission some years ago, is
assurance Of the fact that he will dis
charge his duties with credit to his
race and honor to his country.
