The Sonth's Huge Production.

That the South produced in 1918 nearly
one-half of the total crops of the whole
United States, measured in terms of monetary
value, is one of the facts of immense economic
significance pointed out in series of articles
concerning the South's resources and buying
power which are now being published in the
leading magazines.
The figures accompanying these articles,
which are prepared by the Massengale Ad-
vertising Agency of Atlanta, show that the
total crop production of the United States
during 1918 was worth in round figures four
teen billion dollars, and that nearly six bill
lion dollars worth of this production came
from the South The South as here referred
TO consists Of the sixteen states of Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louis
lana, Maryland Mississippi, Missouri North
Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennes-
see, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia. In
other words, these sixteen States in 1918
produced crop value nearly equal to the
crop value of all the balance of the country
embraced in thirty-two States.
''rhis splendid record of production is all
the mere significant" it is pointed out,
when compared with that made by the other
States. The south's entire production in
GLIDING crops arc live stock was $1,000, 49,
Coo which was considerably more than half
of the total crop production (less live stock
of the whole United States. Never before
have Southern people been so busy, so pros
porous, so confident of increasingly good
business
Further conditions in 1918 were not con-
ducive to mammoth crop. Thousands OF
Southern farmer boys were drafted for serv-
ice. Thousands more were drawn away from
the farms by the attraction of abnormally
high wages in war industries. The labor
problem was fearfully acute

The Indian Patriot.

There was a time when the American In
dian was a terrible savage. He believed in
removing the scalps Of his enemies, burning
his captives at the stake, dipping his arrows
in venomous poison, sparing neither women
nor children.
But the white man Boosting a superior
civilization was not above improvement in
those old times Witches were burned in
Massachusetts, they say, while troops were
pursuing Indian marauders. White mems
wives were goods and chatteI under white
mems laws. Husbands could whip them for
disobedience provided they were moderate in
the size of the lash and the number of
stripes. Negroes captured in the African

jungle were herded like animals in the holds
of slave ships and sold into bondage.
Considering the lights then before him, the
Indians code of and his standard of
ethics were certainly no worse than the white
mans customs, which indeed were shocking
in view of the white mans advantages far
superior.
However bitter may have been his hatred
of the pale-face invader who came across the
seas and took away from him by force the
land of his inheritance, the Indian today is
a good American citizen and true American
patriot, wonderfully advanced, remarkably
reconciIed in the loss of those ancient hunt
ing grounds to which his dreams must sure
Iy go back in spite of education and modern
cultures complex veneer.
AS Current History points out:
There are fewer than $4,000 male In
dians of military age. Yet there are over
5000 Indians in the United States army, So
per cent of them volunteers and several hum
dred more in the navy, every one full citi-
zen. Fourteen tribes are represented in the
service, and when young enough the chiefs
themselves have enlisted. In ranks our In
dian soldiers scale down from major to
private and almost every branch has lured
some Indians. One Indian helps run flock
of balloons, and there are many in the avia-
ton corps Some have become proficient in
wireless telegraphy, and there are others
scattered through various technical divisions
of the army. Wherever Indian soldiers are
found they are reported as earnest efficient,
silently observant and equal to the best.
Above all, they are anxious to fight. On the
first three Liberty Loans the Indians OF the
United States subscribed more than $13,O0O,-
0OO-between $50 and $40 per capita

BIRD ARTISANS
Nv Holm RreCk

a NY one who finds delight in the use of
~ tools may keenly enjoy the expert
ness of some Ct the bird Workmen.
The mastery of their limited equipment has
become fine art with some of them. Per-
haps since my own favorite weaTons is a
good pair of pliers, this may seem to have an
obvious application, yet that is only the A
G in the complicated technique of bill and
claw.
Take the California woodpecker. for in
stance. Here you have a cabinet worker of
rare ability. Living in the deep shades of
the live oaks he has abandoned the pepper
and-salt suit of his other fellow-craftsmen
for one of iridescent black, relieved by a
white collar "a GladstOnian one, we'll up
around his ears) cuffs, and shi ,tfront, and the
jaunty red cap of the carpenter bird, He
has learned the unwisdom of laying up his
store where it may BE- looted unseen by the
jays. Instead he puts it in plain sight where
he may keep an eye on it. He drills the
whole bark of his home tree full of neatly
bevelled holes into which he slides the polish
ed, cartridge-shaped acorns so snugly that
even a heavy storm does not d1slOdge those
on the underside Of the branches. So perfect
is the fit chiselled from that unyielding bark
that they stick like the TOP of vacuum
sealed can.
The pickax of the thrasher is another
case. 1t dominates the entire bird. He looks
odd enough, with his small but sturdy,
broad-shouldeT ID body between that long,
curved Dill and the longer tall. Yet once he
discovers the single leaflet of fairy lantern,
with it's succulent bulb a goo6 four inches
below the surface of the ground, or the
camas, deeper still, you comprehend the ex-
quisite harmony of his form. At every blow
of his beak down slaps that tail in perfect
unison, bracing his whole weight behind the
blow and up it comes to counterpoise the
rhythmic rise for fresh stroke And before
you have time to remember that something
more important which you ought 10 do, you
have seen him dig hole deep enough to lose
himself in.
The turnstone is another workman of in
telligence. His tool is crowbar. He runs
about the beach turning over the pebbles for
such matters as the other beach-combers may
have overlooked. A stone more weighty than
his own wee form does not daunt him in the
least. He makes running ass; ult, an uner-
ring aim with his retrousse lever, and then
gives his tail a triumphant twiddle as the top
ping citadel surrenders its loot.

said the stronger countries must combine to

The monarchists of Germany are. contem-
plating an early coup d'etat, in the opinion Of
the London Nails correspondent at Berlin,
who says that the old officer class with its
general staff has been gradually getting the
whip hand there since January IS, and now
holds the government in its power. "The
threatened coup d'etat would be carried out
in Berlin alone,' he writes, land would prob
ably for time be successful, although it GER

Although marked progress in disposing Of

ass after announcement that President Will
son would not call an extra session until after

ers still were extremely doubtful that all the
necessary appropriation bills could be enacted
before adjournment next Tuesday. There was
considerable tension over the legislative sit
|uation at the capitol after it became known
that the president was insistent that all neces-
sary legislation be disposed of at this session.
On the senate floor and in private converse
tions democrats and republicans charged each
other with responsibility for delay in action

Keep the Flag on the Seas,

That is a vitality important condition
which Chairman Hurley, of the United
States Shipping Board, urged at recent
convention of manufacturers in discussing
the future of the merchant marine "The
American flag" he declared, must fly over
every American vessel, whether she is own
ed by the Government, or by corporations,
or by individuals" There are sharp diver
gences of opinion as to the wisest disposal
of the vast amount Of tonnage which has
been constructed for war-carrying needs dur
ing the last two years, under Federal super
vision Some think that the Government
should continue to own and operate this
fleet; others that it should be leased to
private corporations; and still others that
the Government should withdraw altogether
from this field of enterprise. But every
one as far as we have observed, recognizes
the Importance of preventing return to
conditions which existed at the outbreak of
the war, when more than ninety per cent
of our overseas commerce was carried in
foreign bottoms.
Whatever is done with the merchantmen
built, and still building, under the incentive
of a national crisis, they must be kept
under American CONTROL they must fly the
American flag and be ever available instru-
ments for American enterprise and neces-
sity. We dare not, as we value the nation s
prosperity and independence, relapse into
the impotence with which we faced the
problem of ocean transportation four years
ago. Though there should never be another
great war, we could not afford even in the
peaceful rivalries of trade to be utterly de-
pendent on others for our shipping facili-
ties. merchant as we'll could afford to
depend on the parcel delivery system of his
competitor. Chairman Hurley's sagacious
counsel should be supported by the coun-
try's united business sentiment and pressed

Senator Borah of Idaho is keenly charac-
ter1zed by the New York World as ''a fugitive
from information He declines to attend the
White House dinner to which the President
invited him, along with the other members

could induce me to support this League as
outlined in this proposed constitution. or any

that NOTHING could win him to the support
of an idea which the best minds of Europe

evidently means what he says, for even be-
