HEMP SEED STILL CON-
HANDING HIGH PRICE.

Hemp seed, which last year com
manded the highest price in almost
half a century, has" taken another rec
ord jump, according to the hemp seed
dealers in this city, who have been
beseiged with orders for the spring
planting. Another shortage of the
seed and the same condition which
confronted the grower last season
which had the effect of reducing the
acreage which under other conditions
would have been much larger, is nov
faced.
The hemp seed market opened this
season at $3.50 per bushel and the de
mand has been so great that during
the past several weeks the price has
jumped from that figure to $3.50 per
bushel So numerous are the or
ders that the local dealers say that
they will be unable to fill them owing
to the extreme scarcity and scores
who have contemplated planting hemp
during the coming season will most
likely meet with disappointment, as
only a few are to be had at the high
figure quoted.

PrOdigaI Negroes Invited Back
To the Cotton Blossoms

A resolution offering sympathy
to the negroes who have left the
South for Illinois and gently child.
ing the white people of that state
further treatment of the black labor
that has gone there has been intro
1duced ia the Georgia legislature by
Seaborn Wright Of Floyd. The
resolution is as follows:
Whereas our colored friends
from Georgia and other states of
the South are meeting with warm,
ifnot generous, welcome to the great
Northern State of Illinois, and be-
cause Of unkindly feeling for them,
regardless Of their abandonment Of
their old home: Therefore, be it
Resolved By the General assemb-
ly of Georgia, That we extend to
them our cordial sympathy in their
trouble, and assure them that the
gates back down in Dixie are
open--that the cotton Is blooming
in the old patches-r0asting ears
are hanging green from the stalks
the red.hearted watermelons are
ripe under shady vines-blackber-
ries ale winking thru the green
leaves, and after all the old South
may be the best place to live in.
Resolved, secondly, That with
great Difference to the superior wis
dom of the people of Illinois in
dealing with the race problems and
full admission of our blindness on
the subject, we humhly suggest that
they at least deal with their victims
one at time and then be sure of
their guilt. Worth Co Local

From the Commercial Appeal
II you receive the Congressional
Record, read the story Of one days
proceedings in the Senateand in the
lower house. and then you viii be-
gin to understand why it takes four
months to pass a bill.
The two houses Of Congress find
more to do about nothing than any
two organizations that were ever
gotten together.
The lower house now is little
better on speed than the Senate, but
the lower house passes bills as they
are offered without any examina-
ton whatever, and sends them over
to the other body.
On page 557S Of the Record, un-
der date Of July IA, the following
appears from the Senate proceed
ings;
Mr.. stone-Mr. President, what
have TO say, ] have no thought Of
saying anything that will especially
contribute to the pleasure, still less
to the enlightenment OF the Senate,
but what / have 70 say / wish to say
because | desire on my own account
to have it constitute part Of the
Record. f"
The Missouri Senator proceeds tc
announce beforehand that there is
nothing in what he will say that
adds either to the amusement or the
enlightment Of his colleagues, but
for his own account" he speaks.
He halted the Senate to utter what
took 2 full pages Of the Record.
The senior legislative department
Of the nation, serving 00,000,00C
people, must stop until Sen. Stone
says something ION his own ac-
count. "
All the preparations Of war must
/
be retarded one day because Sena-
tor Stone wants to talk on his own
account.
What Sen, Stone did make was
an adroit and vicious attack upon
the war policy Of the President, and
upon the war policy Of the nation
He criticised every act the nation
lis doing or contemplating doing to-
ward bringing the war to success

many lit wasa club put in the hands
Of the Kaiser; it was stab at our
own army.
Every time United States sena-
ator or member Of the lower house
attempts delays such as that Of the
14th, when an attempt was made
TO postpone consideration of the
aviation bill, and succeeds in secu-
ring a delay, he will be indirectly
responsible for the killing Of thous-
ands OF American soldiers.
We have got to win the war with
the least possible cost Of life, but we
have got to win.
European military experts,
American military experts and civ
ilians, who have studied the war,
claim that it must be won by supe-
rior flying forces.
Fifty years ago cavalry was the
] eyes Of the general in chief. Jeb
! Stewart on the East and Forrest
in the West were as a
hundred thousand MEN to the army
commanders.
Modern trench warfare has done
away with cavalry as an observing
force. Aeroplanes are better eyes
for the army than the cavalry.
That army which has superior
aviation force can spot every bat
terry, every trench, every enemy de-
pot and other concentrating point.
Given the location of these places,
the artillery, from points of con
cealn.ent, can destroy the units OF
the adversary.
A superior aviation force also
keeps the aviation force of the enc
my from observing. II the Allie
have two flying machines to Ger
man. 5 one, they can keep the Ger
man flying machines from crossing
their lines in any numbers.
The thing of supreme necessity is
then the aeroplane.
The United States proposes to ap.
propriate $64O, 100000 for aero,
planes. As soon as the bill got il

IaFollette objected to immediate
consideration.

terated opposition to the draft, anc

war.
! Senator Vardanan is heartenec
1 by the opposition to the draft il
Canada and does not want any
drafting for aviation.
The tragedy Of the situation is
that delay makes it necessary thai
more men die to maintain the lib.
critics of the American people.
