PI AYING CROOKED.

German arrogance dies hard. With the
halter about the nations neck it persists IN
doing things which can result in nothing
but punishment for itself. 1t burned capt
ured French flags required to be returned
in the treaty terms then in possession OF It's
officials. 1t sank the interned ships, which
If knew was violation of the armistice
terms. 1t has planned to have the governor
of eastern Prussian provinces unotlclally to
conduct local war so as to prevent the
establishment of Polish authority IN the
provinces allotted to that nation. The allies
warned the Germans that any movement IN
the direction indicated will be charged to
Germany. and Germany will be held respon-
sible for the same. But these warnings have
no effect except when they are backed by
bayonets.
IF a nation ever needed to play square
with its enemies Germany needs to do so
now. Her destiny is in the hands OF those
enemies, not her own

TURKEY ON THE BLOCK.

The United States will have no technical
connection with or part in the formation OF
the treaty with Turkey This country never
declared war on that nation; therefore, has
nothing over which to make peace. The
disposition of the Turkish problems is left
to the nations which were involved in the
war before the United States entered the
conflict. AS a means of preserving world
peace the treatment of the defunct nation
looms large in Importance. 1t lies in the
geographic highway of communication be-
tween the two civilizations and the trade
which they represent. 1t was the bride
path of these civilizations and this trade
centuries before Germany changed its habits
of savagery. 1t will remain so for all time
A great statesman once said the Almighty
created the geographical connection of Eu-
rope and Asia to test mans power of state
craft 1t is as true now as in the time of
Lord Bloomfield.
Whatever is done will concern peoples
and outside nations rather than Turkey as
a nation. That government is more nearly
oblterated than that of Austria. The prob
lem is how to divide the carcass so that all
will be satisfied and so that no opportunities
are left for new conflicts.

Where. Noah's Ark Anchored.

The reason for the recent appeal made
by the newly established republic of Ararat
for recognition by the United States will be
better understood, at least geographically,
explains an authority, because that region
in question is a province of Armenia.
1t takes its name from the mountain on
which the Ark made a landing after the
food-Ararat meaning Noahs Mountain.
The whole world, according to the Bible
story, was submerged during the period of
the Deluge and Ararats topmost peak was
the first dry land to appear above the wa
tiers, for the simple reason that it was the
loftiest-n Aremnia, at all events.
AS viewed today it gives a notion of the
depth of the flood, inasmuch as the peak is
more than three miles above sea level 1t
is dome-shaped, and its slopes for 5000 feet
from the top are covered with everlasting
snow and great fields of glltterlng ice.
The climb down must have been rather
difficult for Noah, his family, and all the
animals disembarked from the Ark. AS for
an ascent to the top, it was formerly bellev-
ed to be impossible. The Aremlan monks
declared that remains of the Noachlan bark
still existed on the summit, and that by rea-
son of their sanctity a supernatural nt1u-
ence forbade approach.
Nevertheless, in September 1929, bold
climber, Dr. Johann Parrott. succeeded IN
reaching the top of Ararat, and on coming
down stated that he had found not even the
keel of the Ark up there Since then the
feat has been repeated by several other ad-
venturous persons.
Below, in the valley of AraXes, was the
Garden of Eden, according to Armenian
tradition. At Marsand, in that neighbour
hood, was $50 say the mOnks) the burial
place of Noah's wife. At Arguri, village
near a great chasm that runs into the heart
of the mountain, Noah, Armenian history
records, planted the first vineyard.

Causes of Increase in Crime.
By Thomas E. Watson.

The habit of carrying concealed weapons
has almost nothing to do with the increase
in crime 1t is an effect, and not cause.
The carrying of revolvers is far less preva-
lent than it was a generation ago. In those
days everybody carried concealed weapons.
| remember that even the country doctors
did so.
The origin of lawlessness is deeper than
anv mere habit of pistol-toting Poverty,
greed of gold, the decay of reverence for
things sacred, the soft drink evil, the con-
sumption of drugs, cigarettes and coca-cola;
the idle rich, the obscene book the lascivious
public dance, the immoral play which laughs
at virtue, the sensational preacher who
brings religion into contempt, the immunl-
ty enjoyed by malefactors of great wealth,
the misconduct of those in high places, the
rotten methods of rule or ruin politicians,
the alliance between priests and the, bar
keepers, the policeman who protects the
criminal, the mercenary editor who sells his
soul to money-mad orporations-these are
some of the real causes of the increase of
lawessness.

A Tree Worth $1,000.
From the Marietta Journal.

Can you imagine tree in Georgia worth
one thousand dollars? A single tree that
pays annually to its owner sum equal to
six per cent. interest on thousand dollars?
That sounds unreasonable to many people,
but not to those familiar with the paper
shell pecan of South Georgia and Florida
We have seen number of such trees that
would perhaps average the owners net in
come of $50 per year per tree with nuts
selling at the usual commercial price of the
last few years.
Many of these trees produce from 200 to
400 pounds of nuts and the price of the nuts
range from Is cents to so cents per pound
so you can easily figure out what revenue
producers they are. We have in mind one
tree in the yard Of South Georgia citizen
which is easily worth sixty dollars a year
to the owner. It has produced over 400
pounds of nuts in one year which grade with
the stock usually selling for 25 cents per
pound.

CENTERED IN THE STOMACH.

Once the foods which the individual con-
sumed were produced, with few exceptions,
on the farm near where they were consum
ed The bread was made from wheat or corn
raised on the farm and ground in mills in
the neghborhood, to which the grain was
carried on horseback or in wagons the -four
or meal being ground while the owner wait
ed, and returned home in the sacks in which
the grain was taken to the mill. The meat
was made from hogs fattened and butcher
ed on the farm. Butter was supplied by the
cows which pastured in the waste places.
Vegetables were home grown, fruit was
gathered from the orchard, and honey was
taken from the stands of bees which surviv-
ed in spite of neglect. The iellies and jams,
which filled the soul with delight in the eat
ing, were the products of the kitchen. A
baker would have starved to death on his
profits from the patronage of a dozen coun-
ties.
Now, mans stomach is the point in which
are gathered the products of all lands An
average meal is not complete without olives
from Spain, almonds from California and
pecans from Georgia or Texas. The salt on
the nuts is from New York, and the celery
from Florida or Michigan. The soup contains
ingredients unknown to the laymen. But it
probably contains CLANS from Chesapeake
bay and pepper from the interior of Africa
The fish come from Alaska and the prime
ribs of beef from some of the middle west
ern states. The spring potatoes come from
Florida and the boiled rice from China The
string beans are products of the South, and
tomatoes from Maryland or Delaware. The
salad may contain Mexican peppers, Ha-
waiian pineapples, Sicilian cherries, Penn
syvania lettuce, Iowa eggs, Spanish olive
oil and Guinea red peppers. In the ice cream
are found Georgia cream, Cuban sugar,
Ecuadorean vanilla and Mexican chocolate.
The cake that goes with it is made from
wheat grown in North Dakota, and is made
light by baking powder mined in Pennsylva-
MIA The coffee served was grown in Arabia,
Brazil or Dutch Java.
Thus is mans stomach the assembling
place of the products of the earth The
dinner calls for the raw products of the
clouted African savage and the American
stock grower; the South American Indian
and the California truck farmer; the Java
nese coffee picker and the Georgia dairy
man; the turbaned Arabian and the Spanish
olive grower; the Chinese coolie and the
western wheat farmer; the Mexican peon
and the Chesapeake bay dredger; the Ha-
waiian planter and the Eskimo fisherman
The dinner served is made possible by
transportation. 1t has been carried on the
heads of Indians, on the backs of donkeys,
on the backs of camels, on wheel barrows
pushed by Chinese laborers, by steamships,
bv railroads and delivery carts. Transporta-
ton once compelled the farmer to produce
his entire food supply except the condiments.
Now transportation makes it possible to dine
from the products of the earth.

ANOTHER DRIVE" SUGGESTED.

time that there would be a speedy end to

Enthusiastically The News commends to the
people of Dawson the suggestion of the
Observer. Here it is:
Every community should put on
"drive" for its own sake. There are al
ways a number of public welfare prof.

else they fail miserably 1t would enable
the community to get a sum of money

the community who go away from home
to make financial gifts, leaving home
projects for the loyal and liberal spir-
tied citizens to support and make sue
