But the chief interest in the strik-
ing story, which centers about the
venerable figure of an old patriarch,
who is credited with the power to heal
the sick and make crippled limbs
whole again. To him come Tom
Burke and his band of crooks from
New York's Chinaton with the idea
of cashing in on his powers. But it
doesn't work out as they calculated
for hidden away in each Of them is a
leaven of good, which slowly comes
to the surface under the influence
of their wholesome environment. In
a most marvellous way the criminals
are reclaimed from the paths Of
crime.
A cast of unusual ability enacts
the important roles in the picture,
headed by Thomas Meighan, well
known leading man, and including

PRICES AND
MANUFACTURES PRICES

David F. Houston, Secretary of
Agriculture, does not assent to the
theory that the prices of farm pro-
ducts should fall before the prices Of
manufactured commodities fall. He
makes this clear in replying to re-
cent communication in which it was
stated that "There must be drop in
prices before there is drop in wages,
and it would seem that the farmer is
the man who is going to be first hit. ;"
This theory has been advanced by
number of manufacturers, said the
Secretary, who continued, at is clear
ly an unjust contention. 1t manifest
ly would not to to ask farmers to
produce, buying everything that they
have to buy from manufacturers at
high prices, with the assurance to
them that their products will fall
in price, and that then manufacturers
will consider what they will do with
reference to their own prices. OBJ
viously, manufacturers must be will
ing to make at least a contempora-
neous decrease in their prices. 1t
might even be contended that they
should make prior decrease in their
prices, since the farmers operations
involve a year and he could not re-
coup, at all, because, on the theory
put forth, his products would fall in
price. 1t seems to me that business
men must be brought to realize that
if we are to get back to the normal
they must set about Immediately to
do their art, and unquestionably pro-
fiteering in manufactured products
must be eliminated.
"Of course, everything possible will
be done to enable the farmer to pro-
duce more economically, so that if
prices fall he will not sustain loss,
or so great loss. All the efforts of
the Department of Agriculture and
of the Immigrant colleges have this
aim. They are trying to bring about
better methods of cultivation, better
financing, better marketing, the elm
ination of plant and animal diseases
and insect pests, and the better
of labor Much has been
done in this direction and more will
be done as time passes"

AGNES SCOTT DRIVE
WILL BEGIN OCT. IA
Are Nearing Compile
ton Throughout Southern
States

Decatur, Ga.--After nearly two
months preparatory work, the direc-
tors of the Agnes Scott $500,O00
endowment campaign announce that
the campaign proper viii be formally
opened on Oct. Ia. Taking into &C
count all the promising indications,
they are very hopeful that the drive
will be an enthusiastic, whirlwind
affair. All plans are nearly cOmplet-
ed. The committees in the 81 dis
tricts of Georgia have been appointed
and are ready to begin their work
when the campaign opens. Alabama,
Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee and
Virginia have been divided into dis
tricts, and committees are lbdng
rapidly formed. In all these states
the Alumnae are working enthusiast
tically, while in North and South
Carolina they will have almost entire
charge of the campaign.
Mr.. j. K. Orr, of Atlanta, chair
man of the General Campaign Com
mittee, has expressed his extreme
qualification at the progress made.
Agnes Scott opened Sept, II, with
the largest enrolment it has ever had
435 students, taxing the college to
it's limit, while over 200 have been
turned away. The student body re-
presents "a states and foreign courl-
tries.
The launching of this campaign is
the result of the offer made by the
General Education Board, of New
York, last June to give Agnes Scott
$4,000 provided it would raise
$325,000. This is signal honor to
be paid to the college, as the Board
offers to help only institutions, which
through investigation it has found to
be doing the very finest work.
Agnes Scott has been classed with
the twelve best colleges of the United
States, according to the bulletin pub
lished by the Southern Association
of College Women. But its present
endowment is the very lowest of them
all.

RESISTANCE OF PEAR
VARIETIES TO BLIGHT


In 1912 an experiment was begun
by the Horticulturalist of the Georgia
Experiment Station to determine the
relative resistance of varieties of
pears to Fire Blight.
Included in this test are varities
such as the Bartlett, which is known
to be very susceptible, and all degrees
up to the supposedly very resistant
Kieffer. The trees were set in an
acre block, and given the same cul-
tural treatment during the past seven
years.
In Sept. 1919, after seven years of
exposure to blight, this block of pear
trees presented the following appear
ance:
Six trees of the Be de Anjou killed
by blight; three -blighted and two
healthy.
Four Kieffer trees killed and the
other six more of less blighted.
All of the CARRIER trees free from
blight.
Two lie Conte seedlings healthy.
Two LIE Conote trees dead and one
blighted.
Two LeFrance trees healthy and
one blighted.
Five japan Golden Russell trees
blighted and one dead.
Five Tyson trees healthy and one
dead
One Lincoln pear dead.
Five Seckel pears healthy and one
dead.
Four Flemish Beauty trees dead
and two healthy.
Five Vermont Beauty trees dead
Five Koonce pears healthy and one
blighted.
Two Howell trees killed by blight
One Wilder pear dead and four
blighted.
One Lawrence tree healthy and two
blighted.
Two Rosney pears healthy and two
blighted.
Three Sheldon trees healthy and
two blighted.
Five Beurre Diel trees healthy and
one dead.
One Bartlett pear healthy and our
blighted.
Twelve japanese Sand pears entire
ly free from blight.
A careful survey of the above data
will disclose that certain varieties are
very susceptible to blight under Geor-
gia conditions, and among these the
Keiffer, Other varities as the Gar
Der, Tyson, Seckel and Koonce are
highly resistant to blight, while the
japanese Sand pear is practically inn
mune to blight.
For years the Keiffer pear has
been recommended as the variety best
adapted to the southern states where
blight is serious, but this experiment
to date has proven that the Keiffer
is far from being the best variety.
The CARRIER, Tyson, Koonce and Sec
KEEL are all more resistant to blight
than the Keiffer.
The Japanese Sand pear which is
immune to blight, resem-
bles the Keiffer in size and shape, but
is Of better quality.
This experiment is being countin-
ued by the Horticultural Department
and the data will eventually be pub
lished in bulletin form by the Georgia
Station.

OId- Fashioned Love-
Maxine Is Dead

4 resident of Tulsa, Okla, mourns
the passing of what he calls the
fashioned one-arm courtship.
The younger generation doesn't know
a thing about it-romance, he means.
Gasoline has ruined romance for
them. A horse is human for the pur-
poses of youth, he further attests,
but who ever heard of motor that
would take. the right road, and, of
it's own accord, pull out of the road
for passing teams, while two pairs
of eyes were fastened upon each
other, instead of more mundane
things? Who ever heard of an EN-
CINE that would jump at a shadow,
so that the girl could scream, and
you could protect" her? Nobody.
These, and other like statements, the
Tulsa man makes to uphold his con-
tention that romance passed with
the "one-armed courtship." Still,
we wonder if the Tulsa man ever
met the youth who could drive a
high-powered motor with one hand.
