today for the first time since his ar

been in the hospital at Camp Gordon
for several weeks.
Mr. Mailman was walking with the
aid of a cane, and his friends were
asking all sorts of questions about his
wound, but he was more truthful than
some men might have been, for he in
formed each inquirer that his foot
was ailing because of having been en-

that the wound which he received in

the hospital was only a mustard gas.

ing business at a loss. In any other
line of industry when the manager
finds that he is losing money he quits
and tries something else. It is good
business and common sense to cut
down your cotton acreage when you
are losing money on what you made
the year before.
"But cutting down your cotton acre
age you need not reduce your land I'M
der cultivation A farmers business
is to farm, and every acre he can
make productive adds that much more
to the wealth of the world. But a
farmers business is also a business
and he should not run it at a loss.
Many people never realize that the
average cotton farmers situation is
something like this: He borrows
money; pays rent and either gives his
own labor and that of his family, or
hires labor to work enough land that
will produce, say, ten bales of cotton.
Usually by the end of the season
or scarcity of cotton pickers, his
ten bales are reduced to eight bales
Now, taking SOC pound as the mar
ket price for cotton, we find that of
these eight bales four will be good
enough grade to bring the full mar
ket price of SOC a pound, or a total of
5000. The other four bales, because
OF bad weather during picking or care
lessness of pickers, or various other
reasons, might average say 18c a
pound, $50 bale, or $3.50 for four
bales, or a total of $500 for his whole
years crop. This farmer started out
to make ten bales of cotton worth
$1,000. Yet his gross income dwin-
died down to $3.50. The Southern far
mers are certainly entitled to at least
soc a pound for their cotton under
present conditions, and they should
get it.
"Diversification Of crops is COM
mon sense policy for a farmer. If
you cotton crop goes wrong, you have
your corn, your cattle, your hogs, or
other crops. During 1919 you will
make more money by cutting your US
ual cotton acreage and putting more
land into feed and food crops. Plant
corn. Feed it to the hogs, if neces-
sary. The minimum base price Of
$1750 per hundred pounds, Chicago
basis, as established by the u S. Food
Administration for hogs, will probably
remain in effect several months. Even
when this price restriction is removed
there will be money in hogs. Europe
is short of fats, and it will be long
while before pork gets so cheap as to
be Improbable to the raiser Europe
needs food. Europe is not in posi-
ton to raise big crop in 1919, or
even next year. America must help
feed her. Plant some of your land in
feedstuffs and foodstuffs, then you will
be helping to both feed and clothe the
world and make a reasonable profit for
yourself" 4.

CALOIDs KEEP FIJI AWAY

Caloids, the new calomel prepare

you will take them occasionally your

Caloids act directly, but pleasantly

AMERICAS ASKS
AIR SERVICE Be
USED In TRADE

Recommendation that the q. S. air
service as existing at the time of the
signing of the armistice, should in nc
wise be diminished, but should be
enlarged and put into commercial use,
was made today by the Americas
Chamber of Commerce, through its
board of commissioners, In set OF
resolutions which were forwarded this
afternoon to Congressman Chas. r.
Crisp, at Washington, for presentation
Feb. at a congressional hearing on
the future of the air service.
No mention was made in the resolu-
tons regarding Souther Field, located
at this place, the future of the ser
vice in general being of greatest con-
Germ at this time. 1t Is regarded as
reasonably certain by those in a po-
sition to know that, should the air
service be maintained on any consider
able scale, Souther Field will be main
tanned, it's natural advantages putting
Il among the fields at the top of the
list
Government interests are said to be
already working out plans for trans
continental air lines for commercial
use. Among the projected routes is
one from New York to California, and
another from New York to Havana. 1t
is understood that Americas stands an
excellent chance of being put on both
of these route, and the visit here today
of two officers flying from New York to
San Diego, Calf, is significant of the
advantageous geographical position
Americas holds in the mapping Of
these trans-c continental routes.
The resolutions passed by the Cham
Der of Commerce follow:
Whereas, the importance and nee
essity of the Aviation Service was amp
ly demonstrated during the late war,
and it's part in the achievement of vic
tory is now universally recognized,
and
Whereas, the Aviation Service will
be no less distinguished in times of
peace under proper encouragement, it
being a recognized fact that the nu-
cleus CT the greatest Air Service in the
world has been established by the De-
partment of Military Aeronautics,
therefore be it,
Resolved by the Americas and
Sumter County Chamber of Commerce
through its Board of Commissioners
that the Aviation Service as perfected
at the time of the signing of the ar
misice should in no wise be diminish
ed, but, on the contrary, under the
direction of special department, the
establishment of which we hereby en-
dorse, be enlarged to accommodate
commercial demands, and be it further
Resolved that Congress be and is
hereby petitioned by this organization
to give deserved recognition to the
Aviation Service by providing a sepa.
rate portfolio in the Presidents cab.
