The Reaping.
THE HARVEST that Ger

enough to appall the heart of
even the twisted Drained kaiser.
That Germany must pay, and
pay dearly, for her ruthlessness
is now assured. President Will
son has pledged the United States
to fight on until all the peoples of
all the world are free. This is
the most comprehensive state
ment of war aims that has yet
been promulgated. 1t widens
the national horizon and extends
our sphere of influence around
the world. 1t uncrowns kings
and plants democracy firmly in
every land.
There is no doubt that the AL
lies will win. There has never
been any doubt of the Outcome
of the war sice the United States
accepted the--Hun's challenge.

change that will leave only the

Wonder Why?

HNEGROPHILE" is a term
~ coined in the South, and
applied to meddlesome Northern
ers who tried to tell the people
who knew how, how to manage
the race problem in the South.
In contradistinction to that term
we have the appellation Negro
phobia" handed back to the
South by those who enormously
believe that all Southerners are
negro haters. The race prob
lem is peculiarly a question for
the Southern people and the solu-
tion is not helped by the interfer-
ence of the canting would-be
humanitarians north of the Ma
son and Dixon line who refuse tC
take the medicine they prescribe,
The intelligent whites and the
intelligent negroes of the South
may be depended upon to settle
it properly. The Southern white
man, who is the negro's rea
friend, goes about helping the
negro in the only way that he
can be helped-by teaching hin
industry and progress. He is moi
worried by the 'nigger equality
clamor, for both he and the bet
ter class of the negroes know
that there can never be a socia
determination of the races. TC
recognize the rights of the negro
as a citizen, to help him in bust
ness and give him friendly coun
sci and aid in his development
along educational lines is right
Unfortunately, there are some
white people in the South whc
can not distinguish between so
sial equality and helpful co-work
ing. In trying to advertise thei
social superiority they becom,
prosecutors of the blacks. Tht
people who are conscious O

Southland you will find SINGER
friendships existing between tn

Difference of Opinion Pre- vaiIs Among AgriCul- turaIiStS over the
 Condition.
IN NORTHERN FRANCE
American Believes That the Soil Will Be Benefited by RavageS of
 the War.

LONDON, Jan Correspond ence of the Associated Press The British War Office is making plans for carrying out an agricultural of fenSive on an enormous scale this spring behind the British lines in France. With the cordial co-opera- ton of the French government, thou ploughed up, as well as some parts of the old battlefieds. British sol diers by the thousands will be em- ployed in the work, most of them being assigned to this labor during their period of reserve duty.
 The food grown in this way will, if the war lasts long enough, go to help feeding the British army, Amer ican tractor ploughs will be largely used in the work of turning over the ground
 The area to be titled includes one of the most fiercely contested battle grounds of the war Heretofore it has been held that little could be
 
 ,oward restoring these battlefieIds Q cultivation, owing partly to the soil being "poisoned" by asphyxiat- ing gases and high explosives and partly to the fact that unexploded shells and grenades would make the ploughing very dangerous. But prac- tical farmers do not agree with this theory. An American farmer who recently visited the whole Somme area studying the possibilities of cul- tivation there, states:
 ITO those who believe that the land has been poisoned by gas and shell fumes, l might point out that while these fumes wilt fresh folige, the effect is only temporary, rarely last ing for more than a week or two The soil itself is not deletoriously affected.
 As to the churning up of the earth by bursting shells, l might point out that sub-soil cultivation by he use of dynamite has been prac- ticed in America for several years. In all the world l know of no soil more likely to be benefited by this process than that of Northern France underlaid as it is by strata of decom posed chalk
 "Evidence of the fertility of those battlefields is found in the wealth of flowers and weeds with which T. der the hands of the husbandman have those farms brought forth such wonders"

MORE SCARLET FEVER

DOUGLAS, Feb. 12.-Another case of scarlet fever has developed here, this time at the home of MT. and Mrs. Alex Kiloh, whose eight year old daughter is the victim it having been declared yesterday by Dr, Mid ford to be another case of the dread disease.
