being paid now by the Government
to manufacturers of cotton goods
average three times as much as cur
rent prices before the war Corn is
selling for nearly three times as
much as it did before the war This
is true of many other commodities
even when production of those COM
modities has been normal.
Our cotton crop this year is GER
tainly off twenty-five per cent. This
fact should be considered as an ele-
ment in the cost of production and
the relative increase of price of
other commodities in determining a
fair price for cotton. The farmers
planted and cultivated land which nor
mally would have produced between
fifteen an sixteen millions of bales,
and by the unfavorable season of
last July and August the crop was
cut from twenty-five to thirty three
and one-third per cent. They are,
therefore, entitled to an increased
compensation for that which they
raised to carry the expense incident
to making the crop.
Cotton was selling for thirteen
cents before the war in Europe be-
gan Three times this would be
thirty-nine cents, and reasonable in
crease for the short crop would
carry it above forty cents.

ed the information that the dump

A prisoner is responsible for the
statement that not long ago an am

confirms the British official report
that direct hits were obtained upon a

Isn't it easy for a German to get
on the right track for peace when he
realizes that he has gone as far as
he can with other drives? Hert-
ling never has in all his former pub
lie career talked as sensibly about
peace as he did yesterday. And he
is yet a long way from peace if he
thinks the Allies are ready to listen
at him at this stage. The French
have it down right. The Germans
are more ready for peace babbling
than ever before, but they know yet
no other power than force.

not just and proper that Judge OF
the Courts should have to come be-
fore the people and ask for election,
especially before those whom in the
future he will have to pass judgment
on.
The appointment system has been
tried to great extent and has been
found to be as Objectionable as the
election, for in either instance politics
are the prevailing features. We would
not have them appointed. The only
solution as can be seen is for the
rotation
A Judge that Ben Hill County
should elect should never serve on
the bench of the Ben Hill County
Superior Court, but in some way
should serve in county not known,
at the time of the election. In that
way alone it will be possible to re-
move the politics that are the ruin
of many of your executives.
Ask your representative to have
such law passed. Call on the govern
or of your state to relieve the situa-
ton, and see that such a law is put
in force

BUREAU or INFORMATION
NOT TRUE TO NAME
Military Affairs Committee OF senate
by Unanimous Vote. Orders suppress
sion OF story Dealing With War
Progress.

a dispatch from Washington says
Of all the censure heaped upon the
Creel bureau. the official publicity or
ganlzatiOn Of the government at
Washington. nothing has been 80
damaging or has lone 50 much TO dis
credit the work OF this organization as
tho unanimous vote OF the senate com
mittee on military affairs TO suppress
a story prepared by this bureau pur-
porting 10 tell OF the progress made
BY the United States government In
aircraft production. In this official
way the Crcel bureau was stamped as
sponsoring information that was not
true; Information that was prepared
for the purpose OF misleading the
American public.
An abundance OF evidence collected
from different sources has lately tend
ed 10 show the dismal failure Of air
craft production In this country, At
tcntion was first sharply centered on
this condition when General Leonard
Wood, fresh from France, testified be-
fore the senate military committee.
Because OF General Woods standing
and the fact that ne had spent sew
eral months with our fighting forces
In France. his testimony and his opin-
ions carried great weight. Nothing
stated by General Wood created the
condemnation that was evidenced
when he told OF the absolute failure
OF the United states to furnish air
craft for service In France.
Realizing that much embarrassment
would result from the testimony OF
General Wood. unless his statement
could be c%ontroverted. the committee
on public Information prepared a story
for publication In the newspapers OF
March 80 with accompanying photo
graphs. telling how the United States
had shipped $500 alrplanes 20 the
army In France. The photographs
purported 10 picture typical lighting
airplanes which had been sent across
the Atlantic 10 General Pershing's
aviators.
The senate committee on military
affairs was probing into the aircraft
situation when q copy OF this inspiring
story was placed Ia the hands Of SEN
ator Wadsworth OF New York. The
senator read extracts Of the article TO
Colonel Smith NJ the aircraft produc-
ton service and he very frankly ad-
mitted that instead OF $500 airpalnes.
] NMN ANNA'N NAAANH W AAAN MttH NAAAAA
shipped only one machine 10 France.
The military committee. on detect
ing this discrepancy between the fact
and tho statement sponsored by the
Crcel bureau, sent for the writer OF
the article and for the man respon-
sihle for the misleading photographs,
and secured from them admissions
that the story and the photographs
were not in accordance with the facts
ard that the article as prepared and
circulated officially would create a
false impression throughout the
country.
Il was not developed In the heariu1
that this effort OF the Creel bureau
nas intended TO dlscredit the testi-
m0ny 81 General Leonard Wood, but
10 vas admitted hat the story and the
pictures had been hastily assembled
and sent TO newspapers everywhert
within "a hours after General Wood
had appeared 20 tell what he had
seen aud learned In France.
