MORE DOLLAR BILLS.

We are to have more dollar bills-good news. True,
perhaps if the giving of dollar bills did not
mean that to have fewer tens. William G. Nc
Adoo secretary of the treasury has ordered the ssu
ance of and two-doar United States notes, or
"greenbacks" which discontinued in 1885. The
action it is to the great prosperity

denominations
The total amount of United States notes outstanding
which is fixed by law, will not be increased notes of
the denominations of of $40 and upward will be
verified into one-dollar and two-doar bills.
AS the supply of silver certificates is fixed by the
number of silver dollars coined such coinage having
been discontinued in 1904 it is possible only to increase
the number of onedolar and twodollar silver certf
Gates outstanding by canceing corresponding number
silver certificates of larger denominations So under
the law we are to get fewer tens and ones. But
you won't get any of either unless you continue hustle

THAT TWENTY CENTS COTTON.

1t is said that every farmer is planting the fence cor
ners in cotton despite presence boil weevi
charged that this condition exists because of 2Ocen
pound when other prices taken into consid
Grafton An interesting editorial which tells of this fac
from the Moultrie Observer:
Cotton is not relatively high at twenty cents. The
farmer who is just crazy make some more cotton
to sell at twenty cents loses sight of the fact that
there has been great increase in other things in
the price of cotton The Arkansas Gazette has pub
lshed figures showing that bale of twenty
this year buys less than bale Of twelve
cotton buys of ordinary year:
In an average year, with 12-cent cotton, a $4,000
balls can buy
SO Bushels potatoes, at zoe.
$50 Pounds lard at Sc.
% Barrels flour $3.50
375 Pounds bacon at 16c
100 Bushels at Coo
Six tons hay at $1,000
Thirty pairs shoes at $500
726 Yards cotton goods at 8 1-3c.
This year, with zoe cotton $4,000 bale can buy:
Forty-four bushels potatoes at 1925.
1873 Pounds bacon, at zoe.
Eighty three bushels corn at $120.
Five tons hay at $4,000.
Twenty pairs shoes at $500.
666 Yards cotton goods at 15c.
The Gazette then proceeds to illustrate by an imag-
NATIVE fveacre farm that there is more money to be
made on food crops than can be made on cotton at
twenty cents. half dozen crops mentioned that
be made the fve-acre farm. and of course,
this be extended to cover ffty-acre farm, and
the estimated income from such crops as corn, hay
peanuts, peas beans, potatoes cane Irish potatoes
etc, is greater than be figured from cotton.

AMERICAS PROSPERITY"

The wealth of the United States-because of tn
uropean war has caused comment far and wide. TIL
test contribution is a powerful poem by Henry Va
yke, which says:
They tell me thou art rich, my country gold
In glttering flood has poured into thy chest
Thy focks and herds increase, thy barns are pres
With harvest, and thy stores hardly hold
Their merchandise; unending trains rolled
Along thy network rails of east and west;
Thy facturies and forges never rest;
Thou art enriched in all things bought and sad
But dost thou prosper? Better news crave.
o. dearest country is it well with thee?
Indeed, and is thy soul in health?
A nobler people, hearts wisely brave,
And thoughts that lift men and make them free
There are prosperity and vital wealth!

CONDEMNED SOLDIERS SET
AT LIBERTY IN BELGIUM

THE HAGUE Netherlands, Jan. 49,
King Albert. commander-in-chie OF
the Belgian army, has recently exer-
cised clemency toward $50 military
prisoners incarcerated at Fresnes. At
ter the experiences of his army at
Liege, Namur and Antwerp, the king
was obliged to introduce an iron dis
oipline in order to maintain a high
morale among the troops. The slight
est offence was punished with the
greatest severity. Men who in ordin-
airy circumstances would have receiy-
ed light penalty. during the days OF
the battle of the User were condemned
to five or six years penal servitude
Today, with the army again strongly
organized and permeated with a high
spirit, clemency can be exercised with
out danger and groups of the con-
demned are set at liberty from time to
time.
The latest batch of released men ex-
changed their prison garb for new
uniform at LIE Mans. They received
their new equipment with cry OF
Long Live the King" and subsequent
ly were sent direct to the front.
