Taking It To the People

4 LAST it is said that the president has decided to
make tour of the country in the interest of the
league of nations and the peace treaty
While there is disposition throughout this country to
resent the interference of the president with affairs
there be good argument brought against his going
out the country and telling his side of the
the people national international issues of this
Senators of the ReedLodge Borah type have been
to the people with their side Of the case and under
stand that they arranging to precede and to follow
him this proposed trip, there be complaint
from that source
The only fear we have in connection with the whole
matter is that this will only further delay action the
treaty and the league of nations, and believe the
general state of and frequent industrial disturb
ances will continue this country and in Europe until
the league of nations question is settled.
And far the league of nations is concerned,
feel that if reject it and it is defeated shall have
fought the war in vain.

Ex-Soldiers of 1865 and 1919

VIZ HILE have the greatest respect for returned
wv soldiers and wish to every of them secure
good Jobs and in the line of business preferred,
not helm contrasting the conditions of 1919 and 1855 in
the south.
The men who came back from the southern armies in
1866 to look for their homes and to look for jobs and
daily food could not be choosers Whatever the hand
found to do whatever would bring mealthat was their
job Many back to find their homes burned stock
all gone lands grown weeds and manner OF dis
to face Did they sit down and wait for the
to send them bonus and clothes and ratiOns
Not on your life!
This war in France has been the greatest man ever
fought but of boys have yet gone through the
pryatons endured by the veterans of the SIXTIES or had
to home to face onetenth the trials ana dincuues
of 1865
We have heard complaints from the returning SOL
ders themselves but some papers pretty noisy.

ALABAMA COUNTY SETS
RECORD IN LIVESTOCK

Many persons think of Alabama as
a producer and seller of cetton and
as buyer Of practically all other
agricultural products. But shipments
from Geneva county, Ala, from April
l. 1918, to April /, 1919, show other
wise. This county exported Alb car
loads Of hogs, SO carloads Of cattle,
288 carloads of peanuts, 50 carloads
of hay, 38 carloads of corn, and Is
carloads of velvet beans, an output
of which many well-developed agri-
cultural counties in the eastern and
northern States would feel proud.
Furthermore, it is notable that these
totals show, in the main, decreases
from those Of the preceding IL
months, as the corn shipments de-
clined from 141 to SO carloads, while
the velvet bean exports dropped from
As carloads to Is. These decreases
were due to extremely dry weather
and an unfavorable season. On the
other hand, despite the relatively lin
tied supplies Of homegrown feed
available, the carload shipment of
hogs increased from 335 to 47S cars,
a gain Of approximately % per cent.
In view of the fact that only 90 per
cent Of the acreage Of Geneva coun-
ty is now under cultivation, and that,
furthermore, only 40 per cent Of this
area is producing more than so per
cent of its actual capacity, the agri-
cultural exports are extremely sig
nificant, and indicate that as far as
agricultural advancement is con-
cerned this section of Alabama is yet
in its infancy.
Superior results can be attained,

A Certain Price Regulator

WYE have often heard of the man who got rich doing
Wv without the things he had to have You will find
him in every community Of course the answer to this
Of realize just what have to have and just
what might do without.
We have just read press item from Oklahoma that
says one thousand in town out there have signed
pledge buy clothes until the prices are re-
duced and TO clothes for at least three months
no matter what prices do.
this movement was extended to any great extent we
can easily imagine what effect it would have the cloth
ing market And the might apply to all the markets.
for Americans rule spend twice three times what
is actually necessary for them to spend
While this is going the Thrift Stamp book will also
grow in encouraging When we learn to regu-
late our own habits and expendtures-to do without
things we have to have-we will at the time regu
late prices of those things which have scared beyond our
reach.

Fire Rates and Fire Losses

~ NE of the great causes Of economic waste IS nre
~ destruction of property which might nave oeeh pre-
d bv care The fact that the carrying OF
fire insurance is almost universal causes many to be IN
different and careless about little things which 011eh
cause big losses
Fire rates in this country-partcuarly IN the south
are abnoraily high, but after all fire losses make tne
basis Of all rate making and just as we lower CT RAISE ~
average Of losses viii the rate go down or up.
nrr own town has been particularly fortunate during
h last two wears but not because many of our people
have not been very careless about guarding against nre
We should do all in power to reduce the hre FISK
and when this shows up in reduced losses as Oh course
it will we go after the fire insurance companies hO
reduction of rates.

The Pastoral Prayer
By JAMES CHURCH ALvoRD

I stood behind my pulpit yestermorn
And gazed upon the faces gathered there,
Stretching my hands to bid those souls to prayer
By dread of death, by doubts and passion torn,
whose fears and gatherings through my heart had gone
Fair girls sin -smutched, lads tangled in the snare
of gold sad fathers over-worn with care,
Wan mothers dropping empty arms, forlorn
And wizened failures on the road of life,
Men sheahess, songless at the close OF day
/ lifted tragic above the strife
cried to Him who is the Truth the Way.
~ cannot bear their burdens am man.
From Heaven tie words came dropping 10 can

The other sponsored by Senator Johnson, Repub- lican. of California, offering a new solution for voting in equality in the league. was killed by vote of 43 to B.
 Fight on Labor Section.
 At the adjournment however the ef- fort to hasten final action had struck an obstacle which seemed likely to prevent further progress for several days Tomorrow q determined group of senators will launch a fight to eli minate the labor section of the treaty. This will start debate which, in view Of unsettled labor conditions over the country, +s expected to continue fol at least week The battle is expected to ha the more spirited because fl is regarded as holding out whatever hone remains of writing any amendment in i to the treaty.
