x x T, Latest Statistics of South Grain Output

17N HIS weeks issue of the Balti-
 4 more Manufacturers Record presents elaborate statistics of the grain production of the southern states over period of years, with a comparison of the grain totals of the rest of the country. While the tabula- tion makes fine showing for the south as whole, there were de- creases in corn in three states-Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana. Although Texas increased its corn area by 276,000 acres, the yield was 60,0O0,- 900 bushels short of 1916, as the re- suit of the worst drouth experienced in that state in many years,
 The south's corn output this year totaled 1,2OO,321 ,OOO bushels as against 951, ,134,0OO bushels in 1916 and against 1890, ,762, ,000 bushels for the rest of the United States in 1917. The south increased it's wheat produc- tion this year as compared with 1916, but it was considerably less than ir 1915 and 1914.
 Alabama's 1917 corn crop was larger than in any previous year, but the preliminary estimate now pre-. sented is not as large by about ter million bushels as the governments estimate published early in the fall The latest figures are 74,704, ,0Ot bushels. The estimate for Mississipp
 is S1, 100000 bushels, but the estimat'
 for Georgia calls for about thre'
 million bushels less than Alabama's. Alabama increased it's corn ares
 from S,735,O0 acrM in 1916 ant
 3,90O,O0O acres in 1915 to 4,669, ,00'

are well aware from the history of the Civil war in this country and many a bloody battle in Europe. Along the Italian front and on the British line cavalrymen have recently performed thrilling exploits which carry one back to other days.
 International picture galleries bear witness to the imaginative appeal the mounted soldier makes. That master painter of battle scenes, Meissonier, has immortalized the cavalryman on canvas.

----===-----=7=777-ses DOCTOR JAMESON

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Leander Starr Jameson, physician. ad-
 minstrator and adventurer, died in
 London, an honored representative Of the commonwealth in which he was once
 an outlaw baronet in the empire whose
 courts once held him to be felon. Sir Leander Jameson--he was Dr.
 Jameson then--went to South Africa to practice his profession nearly 40 years ago, and there met Cecil Rhodes, who was a maker of men as well as of empires. He quit his office for the field, fought through half a dozen campaigns against native tribesmen, and assumed the task of administering Rhodesia for the British corporation, which, under the empire, was then dominant there. He left this task in December 1895, to lead over the border into the Transvaal, was captured, tried by the British govern
 ment in London, and sentenced to 1b years imprisonment. Only ill health saved him, for his project had brought the empire to the verge of war and brought down upon him the condemna- ton of five continents.
 Released, he returned to South Africa
 and became in turn legislator in Cape Colony, head of the progressive party I there on the death of Cecil Rhodes, and premier of the commonwealth. He l yielded that post to General Louis Botha I in 1907, and learned, along with other | PritisherS that tha Rners wera laval tO the flag of the empire which had
 crushed their desperate resistance. ! Few men have played a larger part in
 the winning, and the reconciling of South Africa to the British crown than
 did Dr. Jameson. His raid was the pre-
 Jude to the Boer war. The Boers to-
 day are glad they lost that struggle.
 For this the man whose reckless daring
 precipitated 1t deserved much of the credit.

perform varies widely and the require ments for each category differ accord ingly. For pilot de chase the prime requisite is courage, high form of individual bravery not found in every man. The courage of the mob, as illus trated in an infantry charge, is com mon; if a man is having cold chills he never shows it; the moral support of his fellows keeps him going. The test .that fighting pilot must undergo is far more severe; he must take all the risks of the man on the ground, and more, with nothing but his own nerve to depend on. If a man values his life too highly he can not dive down through a hail of machine gun bullets and push combat to completion; clever plotting alone will not accomplish re- suits. It has been found that only ex- tremely young men make good fighting pilots man in the late twenties may be able to handle his machine as skill fully as a boy of 19, but invariably tho older man is too cautious; he will not take the chances a younger one will. It is rule in the French army that at least four-fifths of the men selected for fighting pilots shall be under 24 years, and in both French and British armies marked preference is shown for men of IS to 20 years.
 Another requisite of fighting pilot is that he be a good shot. The only surely vulnerable part of an airplane is tho body of the pilot; the machine able to contine the combat; even if one of the few vital parts of the motor is struck the pilot can usually volplane far enough to land safely behind his own lines.

After the seams have split or the gloves have be- come soiled they are of little use to the wearer. but to aviators in war service they may be of great assistance.

Open Warfare Gives
 Cavalrymen a Chance

MAYHEM siege warfare began along w the western battle front, there was no longer an opportunity for the mounted man to fight. Cavalry was automatically retired from service and not without grumbling troopers, minus their steeds, endured the frightful monotony of the trench.
 But after a long period of waiting their turn cafne and in the victorious British offensive, launched under the direction of General Byng, British cavalry played a conspicuous part. It is related that horsemen, so long de- nied their favorite form of battle, plunged into the fray with an en- thusnsm that knew no bounds, and it was equently hard to keep their heaI progress within the limits dei by safety.

The saboters had it IL TOT Jaures,
 tho great French socialist, for he con-
 demned 1t in his discussion on "Syndi-
 calism" in the French Chamber of
 Deputies in 1907. He said: 'If it is a
 question of systematic and methodical
 propaganda of sabotage, at the risk of
 being approved by the conservatives, l
 do not believe that it will go very far.
 Sabotage is repugnant to the nature and
 the tendencies of the working class.
 Sabotage is loathsome to the technical
 skill of the worker, which skill repre-
 sents his real wealth.
 The saboters answer to this was that in saboting machinery it wasn't for a
 mere whm, nor from an evil mind, but solely in order that the bosses might be unable to rely on the scabs to find them in good condition and. therefore be able to go on and run them and de feat the strike. They boldly claim that the most important part of strike precedes the strike itself and consists in putting the machinery out of com mission. Their motto is: 'Let the ma chimes strike before the men,"
 The pride of the mechanic in his tool or the engineer in his machine. or the captain in his ship may be great, bu1 the saboters claim that they are in g war with capital I have written thin | much about sabotage to lead up to il | in different phase, in an aspect that
 we have been made to feel. for there i. nothing evil in warfare that Germany has overlooked. and when Uncle San took over the interned German vessels l it was found that the Germans had sa boted them, that Is, disabled them il every way possible Those who had t,

very grateful for the thoughtful words
and deeds rendered in these some
what trying hours of enforced seclu-
sion and exile. Deprived of our library
and the cooperation of our faithful
assistant we are indeed lost and move
about like a wanderer upon the face of
the earth. While our plans have been
seriously interfered with we trust that
the loyal cooperation Of the church
will more than make good this loss.
