Deep-browed and resolute. he stands
apart
Like some great monarch mountain
in the snow,
One with the mystery OF the winds

His soul ALT with wonder, and his
heart
Rich with deep human love-the
counterpart
OF all earth's grandeur, kindred of
the sun,
When light mounts heavenward as
day is done
Resplendent spirit, whose mighty
voice did start
thro'out the world an At.

Not Philomel. but Triton with his
Tiptoe upon the rosy sands Of

With Beauty singing ever in his

NEGROES AS PROPERTY
OWNERS ON INCREASE
MARTIN v. CALVIN COMPLIES
STATISTICS SHOWING THAT
THEY ARE RECEIVING A SQUARE
DEAL IN GEORGIA.

ATLANTA, GA, Oct. 3.-Some very
striking facts and figures showing the
great advance of the negro as prop
erty holder in Georgia have just been
{. implied by Martin V. Calvin, president
of the Georgia State Agricultural So
ciety, and given out for publication
here.
Mr.. Calvin shows that in 1879 the
value of the property owned by me-
groes in Georgia was $5,1S2,29S.
Firm that year until 1916, the value
cf property owned by negroes increas-
ed to $3S,234,523. or an increase of
more than 637 per cent.
Mr.. Calvin, who is thorough stud
ent of economic conditions, explains
the exodus of the south to the north
ern industrial centers on a different
ground from the reasons unually ad-
vanced by writer's on the subject.
These figures, taken from the records
.of the state capitol, would seem to
set aside the comment going the
rounds in the north onncerning the
negro's lack of opportunity in the
south
"All the students of the situation
seem to have overlooked the fact"

Ernit Stores closed on Sanday.

ATLANTA, Ga. Oct. 3.-Atlanta po-
lice has closed the fruit stores on
Sunday, the only exception being those
which have special city license for
the sale of soft drinks, the sale OF
which is to be allowed on the Sab
bath. The purchase of fruit on Sun
dav has been a convenience enjoyed
by a large number Of people here, and
an effort will be made to induce city
council to permit the stores to stay
open on that day.

MARKETING DEPENDS
ON ANNUAL SUPPLIES

In disposing OF his products the
farmer should first answer the fol-
lowing questions: % Is the commod-
ity to be sold an actual surplus con-
sidering his annual needs? (2) Is it in
condition to market? CD When is the
best time to sell?
Influenced by the lure of high prices.
and the desire to hear the cash lin
gle in his jeans" the average farmer
is often induced to sell not only the
surplus products from his farm, but
much that is needed for home con-
sumption. Many farmers in this State
sold corn at less than dollar bushel
during the fall of 1916, and in less
than six months bought it back for
more than double that price
When there is no guarantee that
each succeeding years crops will suf-
fee for its needs, it is the part of
wisdom to conserve little more than
one would ordinarily expect to need
for home use during the ensuing year.
One of the most important factors
in marketing farm crops is their prep
aration for market. The Southern
farmer is a rather shrewd buyer, but
somewhat inefficient salesman Our
principal money crop having been cot
ton, we have not given much attention
to the sale of other products, and, as
consequence, we have not learned
how to prepare them for market 1t
is true that there are few special
crops, such as peaches, which go on
the market in good shape; but it has
taken years to develop the peach
growers in the matter of grades and
standards. We must realize the inn
portance of quality and appearance in
the sale Of our products.
A point seldom stressed in connec-
| ton with farm business practice is the
| distribution of the sale of commodities
| throughout the year. To illustrate ::
| Suppose we knew now that before an
other cotton crop should be harvested
there would be urgent need for thir-
teen million bales and that this years
crop would amount to only twelve mil
lion. Under these conditions it would
seem that the present crop could be
harvested and sold Immediately to a
good advantage, but we have long
since learned that, no matter how
short the crop, it must be sold gradu-
ally if we expect good prices. Why
is it we cannot realize that the same
fundamental principle holds true in the
handling of other crops?
The United States Bureau of Mar
kets has in its employ ever four hun.
dred men, the Georgia State College of
Agriculture over hundred. All OF
these are at your service.-(M. G. Gay,
State College of Agriculture.)
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-10-03

states Mr.. Calvin, that since Sep
TENDER Is, 1914, exceedingly few inn
migrants have set foot on American
soil, while thousands who came bfeore
the war have returned to their native
lands. The result was labor short
age, and the negro moved from the
south to northern industrial centers
by the simple operation of the law
of supply and demand"
Mr. Calvin, as stated above, believes
the figures showing the increase of
property owned by negroes is SUI
ficient answer to the erroneous as
sertion that the negro is denied a
square deal in the south.

MINERAL NEEDED BY THE
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT

The Colorado Geological survey is
cooperating with the U. S. govern
ment in an attempt to find workable
deposits OF certain minerals for which
the war has caused an increased de-
mand. Among these minerals are:
Ores of molybdenum tfree from cop
perl, ores of vanadium. uranium,
nickel, manganese and platinum.
Transparent. unfraotured flourspar in
fairly large pieces, and as nearly col
orless as possible is also needed.
Pale green and very pale purple col
ors may not prevent its use If 1t is
otherwise satisfactory.
Persons knowing OF deposits of any
of these ores should write to r. D.
George, state geologist, Boulder, Colo,
sending an average sample of the
ore II possible and describing the de
posit. II the sample and the descrip-
tion appear to warrant further in
vestigation the state Ieologist or
some one appointed by him will ex-
anime the deposit without expense to
the owner. If II should prove prom
Using report will be presented to
the proper United States officials.
Prospectors and others not familiar
with these ores will find descriptions
of them in Bulletin 6 of the Colorado
Geological survey This is now out
Of print. but Bulletin ~. covering
much of the same ground. will be
sent to those who have not had Bulle-
tin 6. Those applying for It should
send Is cents to cover postage. I'm.
til Bulletin ~ is ready the survey can
provide pamphlet which describes
the ores mentioned. and those of all
other important metals. This will
cost 15 cents.
The survey may be able to furnish
small fragments of the commoner
ores to few prospectors. But un-
less they are really needed they
should not be asked for as only n
very small amount OF the material
can be spared.

LIGHTNING Kills at Fruita.

Lester Erwin, employed on the
Lynch ranch near Fruita by l.. Il.
Allen. was instantly killed and Robert
Allen. son of the leasee of the ranch
was seriously injured Tuesday after
noon about 4 o'clock by stroke of
lightning. Both men were at work in
a field under the high line project.
Erwin received the full force of the
bolt while Allen. who was on trac-
tor engine some forty feet distant at
the time. received only part OF its
force. II was thought for some time
that both men had met instant death
and II was n number of hours after
the bolt struck that Allen was pro-
nounced out of danger. Late last night
report from his parents to,,e stated
that he was very weak and yet In
critical condition. but that the chances
were very favorable for his complete
recovery.-Grand Junction News.

The StOCkham T Hardware Co.

A number of people have the idea that
he is fighting the present war. and
that as the President of the League
TO Enforce Universal Peace he is op-
posed to the conflict being waged in
Europe. Nothing in farther from a
correct Interpretation of Mr.. Taft's po-
sition. The object of the League of
which he is the head. is not to stop
the present war but is to see that
when the war does end universal peace
will be the watch word of the treaties
signed. The League also has in mind
the difficult task Of, through public
sentiment, preventing an injustice
done TO any nation of people. With
out doubt the League to Enforce Uni
versal Peace will within short time
be one of the greatest moral powers
for the final solution of the present
conflict that can be imagined All of
the wrong in this war is not on one
side. Neither is all of the right on
the other side. There is certain
amount OF wrong on both sides. In
the final analysis when the peace
treaties are being signed the League
to Enfore Universal Peace, If it is
founded on the principles of Justice,
can be instrumental of worldwide
good.-Grand Junction News.
