Gus calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for few cents a large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute for
calomel. 1t is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up

Don't take calomel! 1t makes you

PROFITEERING

In an article on Profteering The
Augusta Chronicle says that as long
as people continue to buy at high
prices, so long will prices remain
high. II people refuse to pay ridicu-
lous prices high prices will go down
The Chronicle illustrates the situation
with this incident:
A gentlemen had been in the Gus
tom of buying diamond-back terra
pins from an old negro woman in
Savannah. All along the price had
been from forty to sixty cents, ac-
cording to size. But one day she
asked him dollar piece for some
terrapins of medium size.
"Why, what's the matter" the
gentleman asked, "has the tariff af-
fected the price of terrapins, too?"-
the new Republican tariff having just
been put into effect.
81 dunno nothing bout no tariff"
the old woman replied.
"By why have terrapins gone up
in price," persisted the gentleman
Why do you want to charge me a dol
Lar each for them now, when few
weeks ago you sold them to me for
fifty cents?"
81 dunno that neither" answered
the woman. Cali know is, I ak 'em,
en- / gifts 'em."
And there you are again-"prof-
iteering" reduced to it's last analysis
AS long as the public is willing to
pay the price, the seller is perfectly
willing to let the public pay the price ;
perchance raising it occasionally
just by way Of stimulating the de-
mand.
The Advertiser acquits our local
merchants of Chesterfield county of
any share in this profiteering busi-
ness. We know they are selling as
close to cost as possible. The prof
iteering is at the other end of the
line. We would like to see the COVE
ernment take this matter up with the
men higher up, and see that they
come down a notch or two.

OUR FIGHTING BOYS

Our military men as well as our
statesmen, have learned a great
many things that they did not know
when the war began. One of the
things learned is that several years
of training at West Point is not al
ways necessary to make a soldier.
The general staff has recommended
that the course of instruction al
West Point be reduced to three years.
When we think Of the brave deeds
and good work done by our soldier
boys in France who had no training
at West Point and very little else
where before they went over and
whipped the German army, it does
appear that the course of instruction
at West Point might stand even a
greater reduction.
Our boys made up in bravery and
fighting skill for the lack, Of West
Point training. 1t is said that on the
battlefelds our comparatively un-
trained soldier boys gained proper
tionately as many laurels as did those
who had the benefit Of years of train
ing at Wost Point.

AS TO THE PRICE OF
The ADVERTISER

This paper, as all our subscribers
know, advanced its rate last fall to
$1.50 year. We have heard very,
very few complaints about this.
Only about three subscribers so far,
have said it was too high, but we do
not know what some of the others
who have not recently paid, are
thinking, therefore we are going to
make a new proposition. For all
those who think the price is too high
we will reduce it to the old price.
but this one dollar is not to be paid
in cash, because silver dollar is not.
worth what it was when this paper
sold for one dollar.
We will take for that one dollar.
ten pounds of good lint cotton, at.
the rate of ten cents a pound.
Or we will take four good frying,
size chickens, or two nice hens.
Or we will take bushel of corn.
Or one dollars worth of good
country lard at the old 1914 price.
We hope this fall there will be SO
farmers to take US up on the cotton
proposition so we can make q bale.
So the proposition is this: We will
reduce our price to the old 1914
basis, if the farmer will reduce his
prices to the same level and make an
even swap on some good usable pro-
duce.

SLAUGHTER OF THE INNOCENTs

One Of the leading medical authori-
ties Of Belgium, Prof. Rene Sand, of
the University Of Brussels, says that
the war cost Belgium 100000 chill
dren. In various ways, the inhu-
manity to parents and children, the
frightful incidents Of the war, caus-
ed this terrible fatality among chill
drcn. This is another Indictment
against the Kaiser for bringing on
this awful war. While thousands
and thousands Of adult victims, men
and women, were sacrificed to the
demon of war, how sad the reflection
that one hundred thousand children
were the innocent victims of this in
satiable Moloch.
How fitting is Milton's description
of the heather god, Moloch, to the
author of these crimes in Belgium:
"Moloch, horrid king, besmeared with
blood
OF human sacrifice, and parents
tears"
Our Savior said, "Whosoever shall
offend one Of these little ones it is
better for him that mill stone were
hanged about his neck and he were
cast into the sea"
Multiply this by 100000 little ones
and who shall describe a punishment
commensurate with the crime?

The foregoing suggestion is from
that excellent paper, The Progressive
Farmer. We would like to see this
suggestion taken seriously. Why can
we not have big get-together meet
ing at some accessible point in the
county not for one section, but for
the whole county?
There is one burning question that
could be discussed at such gathering
one in which we are all interested and
one on which we all agree. That is
EDUCATION, the complete annihil-
alton of illiteracy' in Chesterfield
county. What do you say? This thing
MUST be done, and there is no better
time to start than right now and there
is hardly better way to start than
a big community get-together picnic
The agriculture excursion" is also
good idea and should be made a reg
ular annual. affair.

BOIL WEEVIL MENACE
AND LIVE STOCK LOANS

DR.. w. X. Lewis, director of the
bureau of animal industry under the
United States department of agricul-
ture in Columbia has just returned
from a trip into a number of coastal
counties.
DR.. Lewis is vitally interested in
arousing the people of the State to
the menace of the boil weevil, which
is invading the southwestern corner
of the State. The invasion of this
pest will compel the farmers to turn
from the cultivation of cotton to live
stock raising as the presence of the
weevil means that for many years,
once the pest has arrived, production
of cotton will be practically impos-
sible.
to two distinct efforts to meet the
emergency. DR.. Lewis says that in
the lower half of the State the lands
are cheaper and the growing of live
stock for beeves will be natural Sc
quence of conditions. In the upper
half, where the prices of land are
much greater, the farms necessarily
smaller and the area of waste lands
much restricted, the people will resort
to dairying.
Inability to finance purchases of
cattle for fattening purposes is one
of the greatest handicaps the farmers
now face, DR.. Lewis says. To meet
this condition, it will be necessary, he
says, for a few banks at strategical
points appoint livestock experts in
to take care of loans for cattle
Banking houses in the West follow
this plan, the cattle expert at the
bank visiting the farmer who is feed
ing the cattle purchased with the
banks funds, and seeing that all con-
ditions as to feeding and preparing
for market are properly complied
with. A few banks in the State COM
mitting themselves to such a practice
would do much toward advancing the
livestock cause, DR.. Lewis says. He
thinks the boil weevil menace will
eventually compel them to see the ne
cessty of this, but the earlier action
be taken, the better for the cause.
In argument for the idea DR.. Lewis
yesterday reminded that banks in
coastal cities place large accounts in
loans to truck growers, an employee
of the bank, we'll versed in the cult
walton of truck, visiting the trucking
areas regularity and guiding the bank
in the placing Of loans.-The State

WILLIE" EXPRESSES HIS
OPINION OF THE MAN ADAM
Editor The Advertiser:

Eultor Inc AdVertlSer:
am not much in favor Of the
woman in politics." though admit
there is a strong argument for CIV
ing woman the ballot. l have been
watching from without the interest
ing debate going on in your columns
by and between the young people Of
the Chesterfield High School.
Now, one young friend rises to the
point of eloquence and refers US to
Gods creating man in "His own
image" which no one can gainsay.
Let us, however, to keep the record
straight, read on in the same chapter
and we see that after the powers of
darkness deceived the woman, that
she straightway deceived the man
and caused him to fall from his
ooastcd citadel of strength and proud
prc-e.ninence.
If man were really stronger than
''h'o' hS "oaiu hdNS iioCh auoNv
the offer of the forbidden fruit at the
hands of the fair Eve in Eden's bow
ers. He should have proved himself
a man on the spot, and if he had been
a man, really and truly, he would
not have yielded.
You see the woman has always
been able to handle the man, which
proves the old saying that she is the
real power behind the throne" The
tempter knew that he himself could
not handle man, but if he could
handle the woman, he could, through
her, because of her power and infiu-
ence, carry his plans to successful
elimination. And woman handles
the man to-day. Let us not get away
from the facts.

TWO PLANS EVERY
NEIGHBoRHooD SHOULD
MAKE FOR THIS SUMMER

1t will help your neighborhood to
have community picnic and public
speaking sometime just after crops
are laid by and you can't afford to
wait much longer to get your speak
ers and arrange for your music
We believe it will be well to have one
or more local speakers as we'll as
speakers from a distance, and we a
gain suggest as one feature "com-
munity singing" of the old familiar
songs everybody loves.
The agricultural exursion" idea
is getting more popular every season
and your county agent and your
neighborhood leaders should be decid-
ing on place to visit-some place
which is not too far away to be reach
ed by automobiles. 1t may be some
noted stock or diary farm, or alfalfa
section, or some rural community
which has distinguished itself for gen
eral good farming or for some speci-
fic thing which interests your folks.
There is no telling how much it may
help your neighborhood to get its cit
izens together for trip of this sort
What they see will be worth lot to
them, and the mere fact that all go
together on happy trip of this sort
will itself increase the spirit of friend
ship and fellowship which must al
ways be at the bottom of cooperative
effort or community progress of any
kind.

PRICE OF CORN
Conditions Expected to Stimulate

But Hogs are Aid.

Chicago, H., Oct. 2S.-Cold
weather expected to stimulate
husking and Smelling had a bear
ish influence today on the corn
market. The effect. however. was
more or less mintmized by higher
quotations on hogs and by a sharp
falling on in receipts. The chief
selling was on the part of specu-
latOrs. Opening prices. which
ranged from shade to 2sc lower.
with December s1.27 to -S1271s, and
May, $1.231a to $123%i. were fol-
lowed by a slight rally in some
cases and then by a moderate gen
eral decline
Absence of any aggressive buy
ing characterized the last part of
the session. Prices closed unset
tied, sc to 212c net lower, with
December 1858 to 1926, and May
1.227s to $123.
1t was said there had been lib
eral export sales of lard at rela-
lively high prices.
Oats were easier with corn
After opening unchanged to 1sc
lower, including December at 711sc
to 7114c, the market sagged a lit
tie further.
Upturns In the hog market gave
a lift to provisions. The biggest
gain was on pork.

Chicago, Oct. 2S.-Long distance
sentiment on corn is bullish but
the immediate situation is affected
by some ease which appeared in
cash corn last night. While cash
corn generally was unchanged to
one cent higher, bids on corn to
arrive are not buIIish on December
corn. Bids on No. is deliverable
at 5 cents discount. No. , old
mixed corn IS S139. The car per-
nit scheme hailed as buIlish last

mits to ship are granted as re
quested for the present. The wheat
visible is now large enough to per
nit car attention to corn. The New
York dock strike promises to slow
up and tie up exports for another
week. Cash oats news was easy.
Demand small. Packers bought
hogs yesterday and average prices
were up 40 cents TO 1920. Natural
rib discount is about two cents.
Buying of ribs on basis of an ex-
IRENE discount below lard advance

now adjusted to the winter pro
