REAR ADMIRAL
 TAYLOR MAKES
 NAVAL REPORT

i WASHINGTON.-Success of the navy in solving its war time air craft problems is attributed to the policy consistently followed of mak- ing this work conform to regular naval practice. Rear Admiral David W. Taylor, chief constructor, in his annual report made public recently says aircraft production has been handled like other departmental technical questions, and despite the great expansion of forces necessary, direction and control of aircraft questions have been cared for by officers familiar with the methods of the navy department"
 Civilians" Admiral Taylor con tinues, "have thus been able to carry on their naval work under the most i favorable conditions. This policy has demonstrated it's soundness. The types of aircraft developed for pro- duction have proved successful, ! changes have been minimum and have been adopted only with view to improvement"
 i As the report was prepared prior to the cessation of hostilities, it does not go into detail on any part of the building operations of the navy. As to aircraft, however, it shows that both types of seaplanes used by the navy are fundamentally American" improved in design on British experience. In October pro- duction of the two main types was in excess of requirements.
 Development of balloons for naval purposes also comes under Admiral 1 Taylor's bureau. His report shows
 
 done with types of parachutes, an officer of the construction corps having dropped from an airship in flight and from kite balloon to test the design adopted. The same officer also successfully tried out a new type of parachute carrying the basket of the kite balloon and its occupants"
 The original plans for the Naval Aircraft factory at the Philadelphia yard called for 1000 small machines annually, the report says. In Janu- ary, 1918, however, the navys re- quirements were suddenly expanded and the plant was converted into an assembling center with four times that capacity. The original pro- gram maximum was reached last March and the expansion work has now also been completed.
 Admiral Taylor gives no details as to the ship construction. As to the destroyer program, his most sig nificant statement is that the gov ernment owned plant at Squanton, Mass, is to be continued as a per manent adjunct of the navy.

The fund will be in honor of the 100 anniversary of the founding of the first Methodist mis- sion in this country.
 The wars great drain on Metho- dist educational institutions was shown by the report that from 42 colleges and universities of the CluICi, J,Ol HleH ildu gone lllO military service and 6,2S7 more were enrolled in the Students Army Training Corps. Candidates for the ministry being drawn from the fore going student group, it was said, there are no men to replace pastors who have retired and chaplains who have gone abroad.
 Forty thousand of the workers now to be recruited will consist of deaconesses, medical missionaries, teachers and laymen. They will man the hospitals, schools and the churches to be established here and abroad. Bishop Theodore s. Hend- erson, of Detroit and the Rev. Dr. ].

situation that might be somewhat H.
Illuminating to those who think com
plants are not just. The man who
cares to know something about il
ought to read this:
Some startling figures are given by
the Baltimore American newspaper
which has been making a determined
fight against the boarding of necessi-
ties Of life and the robbery of the
people by prOfiteers. The American
shows that over half a million pounds
Of creamery butter is in cold storage
in Baltimore, while such butter is
selling at retail for rs to 80 cents
pound. Hundreds Of thousands
pounds Of beef, pork and other meats,
of fish, OF poultry, even of turkeys,
which will probably be taken out next
Thanksgiving or Christmas and offer

case last year" are stored in Balti-
more, according to the American.
The really startling thing about the
figures given by the Baltimore paper
is the comparison that inevitably is
made when one reads them. If Balti
more has such a great quantity of
boarded food in cold storage, to what
unbelievable extent must the figures

cago, Kansas City and St Louis ?
What stupendous totals would be the
result if the boarded foods in all the
cold storage plants of the land were
tabulated as the Baltimore paper has
tabulated the figures for its own city

GET READY FOR THE FAIR

Crisp county is Planning to put on
one of the best fairs in central south
Georgia this fall. The dates are all
fixed, October q to November /. The
premium list has been arranged. Even
the smaller details have been worked
out By President Dekle and his as
sociates on the board Of directors.
Both 'Miss Hamilton and, Mr.. Turner
are now putting on the finishing
touches with the boys and girls and
the canning club and the corn and
pig club shows will be fine This is al
ready certain.
Now the individual exhibitor and the
live stock man must be ready with the
best to be had. That is part of the good
work of the county fair The best
stock, the best crops, the best dairy
products, the best of everything com
ing off the farm must be shown. The
tagging farmer ana the stock man
must see what his neighbor is doing.
1t must leave its impress on him, and
SO the fair will go on doing good.
That's a sort of practical schooling
for the farmer He gets it at home with
out cost. Nobody has to swear to it. 1t
is there showing for itself what is
actually being done on the best of the
farms. The county fair is all that We
could expect of it as an educator It is
the one event of the fall time which
people enjoy because there are emuse-
ments that go with it.
Let's get ready. The county fair is
going to be good one.

OFFICIAL ORGAN CRISP COUNTY.

The safest thing to do in this coun-
try is to keep on the heels of the
profiteers. There is strange reading
in the newspapers about what people

would challenge that statement needs
only to put his ear to the ground.

The above figures were obtained
from the Bureau of Markets of the
of Agriculture, and are
therefore official No wonder the Bal
timore American eXclaims:
Is there no way to force open
the doors of these plants and com
pei prOfiteers to offer these pro
ducts on the market? Are the
plants and the prOfiteers above
and beyond all law? Can they
go as far as they like in hoard
ing, for illicit gain, the absolute
necessaries of life? Can they not
be prevented from compelling the
consumer to pay two, three and
four prices for anything to eat?
If there is no law to reach these
robbers, no law to open these
plants for heavens sake make
one! Such wholesale robbery as
this will not longer be tolerated

ment will suddenly discover it has

OUR PEANUT CROP

Ordinarily speaking it is not best TO
tell about the wrong side of business
affairs, but our peanut crop is just
now occupying a bit of attention and
we fear the peanut growers are be
coming discouraged. There is no very
strong reason for that. We have a full
fifty percent cut in acreage this year
and with all the work done on the
cotton that took the place of the pea
nuts. the weevils are going to win the
fight The peanut yield is not what
was expected The rains have made
hay instead OF peanuts. That's the
short story of it,
our short peanut yield this year is
due to the excessive rains.No such
season has occurred since we started
peanut raising. 1t will not occur Of
ten enough to interfere with the
profit in the main. Off years come in
all crops. We believe the peanut is
hardy enough, prolific enough to
stand il year in and year out as well
as any crop.
We must not lose faith in peanuts
That's a crop which has come to stay
We must learn more about how to
make them with less cost. We must
make them over and over again

From the New York World;
Members of the Senatorial cabal

public support. 1t is not to be found
in business circles, in industry in the
pulpit, in the press or among the
millions of fighting men who made the
teraty possible. Where, then, are we
to look for it if not in the ranks OF

tions will help. TO know how to make
them under adverse conditions is the
thing. Gather the poor crop this year
and make room for larger one next
year. 1t is a better risk than too many
