Eighty Cents a Week.

While the subject of household expenses
is under discussion all concrete examples
which have a specific bearing on the problem
hold some degree of interest Therefore, it
is in order to consider the case of Stillman
Kenney, cotton mill operative in Maine.
Mr. Kenney earns SO week, and banks
1920 of each weeks earnings
The natural tendency is to declare that
this is impossible, but the case has been in
vestigated and verified. Mr.. Kenney does
not lead a butterfly existence, as may be
imagined but the investigators declare that
he is well sustained physically. He is a
bachelor, and does not pay any house rent.
His garb consists principally of cast-of
clothing. His food is wrought from minor
variations of meal and molasses. The in
vestigators found that Mr.. Kenney did not
regard himself as sufferer. He appeared
to be well satisfied with his simple fare and
his mode of life, ccmplacently viewing his
liberal provisions for the proverbial "rainy
day"
In considering this case the average per-
son will say: "But who wants to live like
that?" 1t isn't either an attractive or ideal
existence, but it illustrates interesting pos
sibilities. Men who assert that they "can't
live" on $50 month are straining the cold
facts just little. What they mean is that
they cannot maintain certain scale of liv-
ing at that figure.
If regular fare of meal and molasses
meets all physical requirements in sustain.
ing the human body the person who sub
sists on that ration voluntarily might be les:
an object of pity than person who poison;
his system by overlooking.
Without dropping all at once to the simple
fare on which Mr.. Kenney thrives many PEG
pie could profit, physically and financially
by simplifying their diet. Practically al
scientific authorities agree that the Ameri
can people eat too much, and take too it'll
exercise.
1t seems clear that person of Mr.. Ken
ney's simple tastes would suffer actual in
justice on a salary of SIS a week. His cas-
accumulation would soon become a sourc
of worry to him. Now, he almost meets tn
definition of contentment

Buying Away From Home.

That independent retail dealers are being
crushed between the upper milestone of the
mail order concern and the neither milestone
of the chain-store is indicated by statistics
showing that during 1916 no less than IT.
BIZ business concerns with capital of S5,-
600 each or less went on the rocks
That the time is coming when the small
dealer will be forced out of business unless
people trade at home, and unless he gets
the right sort of support from other. quar-
tiers IN his home community, is the belief ex-
pressed by many eminent economists
Recently in the city of Philadelphia more
than 1900 small grocery stores were con-
soidated in one great merger with an ag-
gregate annual business of $50,O00,OOO a
year, or more than third of the total vol
ume of business in the territory served.
Are the people of Dawson doing their
duty by their home stores? We fear not.
In fact, it can be positively stated that thew
buy too many goods in other markets

Egyptian Cotton

After Is years of experimentation in
| breeding and selection, specialists of the
| U. S. department of agriculture have sue
ceeded IN developing a second new variety
! of the valuable Egyptian cotton grown in
/ this country. The new variety is considered
to be superior in several respects to the va
riety now In use Sufficient seed of the type
which is known as the Pima has been raised
| to plant relatively large area and will be
used during 1917 in the Salt River valley
| OF Arizona, the center of Egyptian cotton
culture In this country. 1t is hoped that
from this crop sufficient seed will be obtain
| ed to plant the entire cotton growing area
| of the valley in 1918, if the substitution of
the new variety for the one now grown is
then believed to be desirable.
The variety of Egyptian cotton now being
grown IN the Salt River valley is the first
new type developed in this country and is
known as the Yuma variety. The Pima cot
ton produces longer, finer, and lighter-col-
ored fiber than the Yuma, and for this rea-
son should command better price per pound
IN the market. Even were there no differ
ence IN the value of the fiber, however, the
Pima variety should be the more profitable
to produce since it is more productive and
earlier, has larger bolls, and is more easilv
picked owing to the greater freedom of the
plants from vegetative limbs
The Pima variety originated in 1910 with
q PI"ilC 9S1eCteu OUT Oh d Held OF Yuma cot
ton grown at the Cooperative Testing and
Demonstration garden at Sacaton, Arizona,
and has been carefully tested since 1t is
much more uniform and truer to type than
the Yuma. The Pima was given its first |
tests on field scale in 1916, when 275 acres !
were planted. The paintings in 1917 will |
be IN continuous area so as to avoid cross
polhnatlon with Yuma cotton. Egyptian cot
ton is especially liable to cross-pollination
between types, an occurrence which contain
mates, and is likely to ruin a good variety.
The planting of the Pima cotton in a CON
Tmuous area will also facilitate ginning un-
der conditions making possible the avoidance
Of the mixture of Pima and Yuma seed

A Daz0SOn Soldiers Lament

Private R. M. Stewart, who is with the
national guard on the border, sends The
News the following:
I'm sitting here thinking of the things I
left behind,
And | hate to put on paper what is run
ming through my mind;
we've dug million trenches, and cleared
And meaner place this side of HE'LL. I
know, is still unbound;
But there's still one consolation-pather
closely while l tell
When we die we're bound for heaven,
for we've done our hitch in hell
We've built a hundred kitchens for the
cooks to stew our beans,
We've stood a hundred guard mounts, and
cleaned the camp latrines;
We've washed million mess kits, and
washed a million buds;
We've rolled a million blanket rolls, and
peeled a million spuds,
The number of parades we've made would
be hard to tell,
But they'll not parade in heaven, for we've
done our hitch in hell.
We've killed a million rattlesnakes that
tried to take our cots,
And shook a hundred centipedes from out
our army socks;
We've marched a hundred thousand miles
and made thousand camps,
And pulled a million cactus thorns from
out our army pants;
But when our work on earth is done oul
friends behind will tell
When they died they went to heaven, fol
they did their hitch in hell.
When the final taps are sounded, and we la,
| aside life's care,
And we do the last parade up the shining
! golden stairs,
And the angels bid us welcome, and tn
harps begin to play,
And we can draw a million canteen check
| and spend them in day
1t is then We'll hear st. Peter tell us loudl,
with yell,
Take front seat, Georgia Artillery, TO
you've done your hitch in hell.

Taking Things for Granted.
From the New York Globe.

This mamie may be coarse and igno-
rant and even cruel, but what of that? He's
the president of great financial organiza-
ton, isn't he? All right, then, what does
1t matter what he is? His position is right.
He's IN 1t, so we take him for granted. The
lady-she is superficial and painted, and not
too careful of her language or her dance
partners Her servants fear and loathe her.
but she is the wife of big man. Her posi-
ton is all right. Let's take her for granted.
The boyle wasted more money in a
year at the university than it would take to
support family of the proletariat. His
taste for chorus girls and wines is notorious.
His liking for books is limited to certain
doubtful, albeit interesting, fiction periodi-
Gals: But never mind all that He bears a
good family name. His position is good. It
doesn't matter, really, whether he's a num-
eral or letter. We're used to seeing him
there, and we think we know what he stands
for. Let's take him for granted.
1t may be all right for an advertising
idea, but it isn't all right in life. A letter
or figure-it's all very well on a clock.
There are, after all, only twelve figures and
two hands with which to be reckoned But
IN real life there are too many combinations
to be made and to be reckoned with. It's
not only the position that counts
It's what occupies the position that is sig
nlticant Real thing or just the tawdry sub
stltute for the real thing-it makes a bio
life.

Hurts Dawson.

1t seems that from July until February is
a very long time for bridge to be down
especially in Terrell county. Yet, this
is the case of the Notchaway bridge on the
Dawson-Shellman road. The bridge was
washed away last summer and temporary
turnpike made through the swamp, which is
impossible after almost every shower. Why
is it that the county officials are letting the
business from Shellman, Cuthbert, Edison,
Button and surrounding country, which
would come to Dawson, go elsewhere?
Only the other day a prominent Shell
man business man was in The News office
and made the statement that more freight
had been shipped there from Columbus
since the Notchaway bridge had been down
than in twice the length of time before, with
Dawson business houses as the losers.
That is a condition which should not exist
longer.

Fat and Lean Years
From the Country Gentleman.

Years of big crops are followed bv wears
OF smaller returns as regularly as the waves
OF the sea follow one another Prices of
foodstutfs swing up and down with the same
regularity. This year the summary of Yields
of the principal crops is only 95 against an
average of 100; in 1915 this index was 1O8.
IN 1913 1t was down to SO, following 1912,
when it was up to 108.
A shortage of crops sends prices skyrock-
etlng, until the forecasts of big Yields next
season bring them down again Supply and
prices are constantly playing on this board.
In the same way the agitation by produc-
ers and consumers swings up and down.
When prices are high the cost of living is
vigorously discussed and there is much agi-
tatlon among consumers for better market
ing. But when prices swing down again
these agltators are silenced and it is the pro-
ducers who clamOr for reduction in the
acreage of crops, for lower interest rates.
