THE PRICE OF HOGS

The price Of hogs on the Chicago
market jumped Tuesday above twenty
will be even higher prices than this.
The live stock man in Crisp and an
joining counties, all over south
Georgia, ought to remember that this
is near the highest mark ever reach
ed by hog prices since the beginning
of the war You are reminded of
this because these prices cannot pre-
vail and also because they are prices
for choice hogs.
It matters little how long these
prices last, so we manage to get as
nearly the Chicago prices as possible
We are entitled to a producers
price, and the producers price ought
to be up somewhere in close proxim-
ity to the price at the stock
yards. A fair commission for handling
plus the freight is all the difference
which should exist.
We want the producer to get his
good price. He is the man entitled to
it. At the same time we want our
farmers to learn something of the
legitimate profits on the maintenance
Of a business and learn to be willing
TO divide with those who provide the
market, for they are entitled to a
living and fair profit Both can
live and yet the producer can have a
nearer price to Chicago's stock yard
1ffer than we are getting.
Here is a way to get nearer the
Chicago yards price Make your Of,
ierings finer. Grow what the packers
want. Study that and you will almost
double your prices. A load of hogs
Tor the packing house ought to CON
Sist of something besides shoats, old
worn out brood sows and a mixture
Of others less desirables. You can
not get Chicago market for this kind
Of stuff. Find out the most desirable
weights, and grew your hogs to that
standard, When you sell them, offer
nothing but choice hogs. Do not per-
nit the commission man to offer
them among other less desirable
hogs Sell them separate and alone

LISTENING TO THE STARS.

From the Ohio State Journal:
Now the wireless telephone has
been invented and this carries the
spoken word from America to Eu-
rope, quite as perfectly as the wire
telephone message carries ones talk
from neighbor to neighbor. The
process is to start an electric cur
rent on wave of ether and accom-
pany it with articuate words. 1t
has been done and a man in Canada
has been conversing with one in Ire
land. 1t is a wonderful discovery
that teaches us that there is no limi-
tation to the far-reaching efforts of
ether. That pervades the universe.
and when voice is sent out on an
ether wave it goes on and on forever.
There is no doubt that we could talk
with Mars and other planets and the
planets of Sirius and Vega, too. if
there weer people up there to listen.
In this connection it may be noted
the wireless outfit claims that they
receive signals that cannot be ac-
counted for. They are not known to
emanate from any particular source
and so may be supposed to be the
rustic of the stars. Some time some
genius may decipher this music and
then once more we will hear the
morning stars singing together.

SEED-TiME SENSE.
from Atlanta Journal:

FROM Atlanta Journal:
jn a seasonable reminder of the
wisdom of planting a large food
acreage this year the Cordele Dis
patch observes that the farmer who
pursues that policy will have much
the advantages over the cotton pro-
Queer who at the start does not
know what prices will be offered,
does not know how much of his crop
will go to the weevils, and does not
know even that he can make dollar
at the business Of growing cotton"
In contrast TO all these hazards,
food raised offers as sure a prospect
Of substantial rewards as anything
in the future can We know that upon
the most conservative calculations
we shall have to send some twenty
million tons of food staples to Eu-
rope in the course of the twelve
month, and it is likely that for years
to come we shall be called on for
extraordinary amounts of such ne
cessaries to tide those war-broken
lands over starvation. To this aid the
ever-mounting demand of our own
population population which for
several decades has been increasing
much more rapidly than the coun-
try's output Of food and we have
ample evidences of the foresight and
sound sense of the Cordele Dis
ratch's advice.
AS for cotton, only one prediction
now would be ventued by the wary
minded; and that is,ythat the plant
ing of a large acreage of cotton at
this juncture would blast the farm
er's hope both of a fair price for his
resid1e ofrthe 1918 crop and Of
livable price for what he may pro
duce this year From1all standpoints
therefore, it is advisable. indeed i'm
perative, that cotton be planted with
caution, and foodstuffs in abundance

TROUBLE HERE AT HOME

Hehe is a. brief truth from the
northern portion Of Georgia:
Dalton Citizen: There is entire
ly too much destructive criticism

ferAnce now sitting in Paris. and
it is not all being done by parti-
san republicans. Some of it is
being carried on right here in
Georgia by newspapers that ought .
10 know better. Considering the
world problems that ought to
be disposed of, and the great
caution necessary to the proceed
ings, we should say that fine
Roadway is being made. The talk
about Bolshevism overrunning

ference is not getting along

much like German propaganda.
eagerly taken up by partizan re-
publicans in this country and
passed along for what it is worth
to them as material for campaign
thunder.
And all of it sounds to us like those
at home who thus behave care very
little whether the present admins
tration accomplishes anything worth
while, 1t sounds like the talk of peo-
pie who really do not enjoy seeing
others accomplish something worth
while.
The Americans who are now in
Paris doing all they can for per-
manent peace, a just peace, and a
mutual disposition of the ills of the
great war ought to get the backing
of the entire nation just as truly as
did our soldiers have our loyal sup
port when they were winning the
conflicts of physical force.
The Dispatch looks at disloyalty at
home with a great deal of concern.
We are Americans. and most of us
are Americans of a pure strain. The
foreign element. the dangerous alien
unrest that might crop out in other
sections OF the country has no excuse
for existence in the south.
The loyalty and patriotism mani
tested in New York at the return of
the troops is hair raising. The Great

conference of national associations for

10 countries being represented. Baron
Deschamps, Belgian member of the
Hague court of a~rbitrations, who acted
as chairman, expressed the hope in
his opening address that, "notwith-
standing the confused situation in the
United States, that nation, which rem
dered immense services to civilization
during the course of the war, would
help to consolidate the idea of the
league" Paul Hymans, Belgian for
eign minister, also alluded to the stu
alton in the United States and hoped
for a quick and happy solution, as the
world needs peace and security of or
ganization."
Leon Bourgeois, of France, regret
ted the absence of American represen-
tatives and said he confidently hoped
"soon to see Americas adhesion to the
league" He said he knew "perfect
unity Of thought exists between the
allies and America"

ing pressure upon his advertising
columns, which greatly lessons the
amount Of reading matter or else
obliges him to print extra pages. This
means the use Of more paper, and he
is warned by tire paper manufacturers
to be most economical in the use of
paper because OF its increasing scar
city and constant advance in price.
Besides this, ne IS absolutely unable to
do the added work which the printing
Of extra pages involves, becaHse Of the
inability to obtain sufficient help. And
there you are. The situation is not
an assuring one, and shows how suc-
cess can really become embarrassing.

A School Scare On

Commissioner of Education, Calvin
Kendall, the $4,000 man, has had the
teachers organize a crusade for higher
salaries. The Legislature last winter
made the minimum salary $40 a
month.
Last Saturday he managed a meet
ing in Trenton and had representa-
tives Of Boards of Eduation hear an
address on the wants of higher salar-
les. An attempt is being made to
scare the people that education will go
to the damnation bowwow if the salar-
les are not raised to be nea his.
The first thing the Legislature
should do is to make the salaries of
all taxayers in the State $4,000 a
year like Mr.. Kendall's and no one
should be allowed to work more than
100 days in the year which is the limit
of school teachers; that all women
should wear shoes with 6-inch heels
and cobweb-dresses and airplane hats;
everybody should spend all summer at
the seashore to hear 7. D. Sensar's
special psychology on teaching which
cannot be found in a book. 1t is not
wise to put it in a book because others
may become as wise as the few high
priests Of learning and there would
not be so limited a teachers trust to
teach small children their a b cs,
backwards and forwards so they can
find a word in the dictionary and the
multiplication table so they can figure
a contemplated example. The en-
deavor to make education a mysteri-
Gus puzzle is on in earnest.
But to be serious, the teachers
should have more pay. So should all
brain workers, including editors.
More of the millions received from
corporations should be put into the
school fund and less for other ques-
tionable expenditures by the Legisla-
tors. The Legislators will surely take
into consideration the taxpayers 81
well as the ~taxeaters.
