WASHINGTON. D. C, June e.
Lieut.. Boyd NJ. Smith, with two ser.
vice stripes won in the aviation ser.
vice in France, has been doing some
flying here In Washington, flying
about among the departments and
various officials who have been eager,
as is the Washington way, to pass him
on from one to another. He has been
in quest Of batch of Liberty bonds
which he bought and paid for while
abroad, but for which purchase he
hadn't received scratch Of the pen
to show for It. Being an Elkins boy,
he naturally sought Senator Suther-
lands help, and then they both began
search for the missing bonds. After
lot Of time and trouble, and num-
Der of animated settos with officials,
the bonds were finally located. Lieut..
Smith was bomber, and he is as anxi.

vice in France, which may not be
quite so eloquently laudatory of the
officials responsible for 1t here In
Washington as the articles OF the
press agents of those officials invaria-
bly, are. Lieut.. Smith was sent to
France as an executive officer OF the
aviation service, but that proved too
tame for him, and he became a flyer.
Asked how many flights he made, he
said that he couldn't recall even ap-
proximately, although he had record

OF the other West Virginia members
are believed to have taken in this

ton. But they are expected to try to
save the plants by securing sufficient
appropriations to maintain them on
an efficient basis, so that the expert.
ment undertaken by the government
may be carried to completion. No one
is working quite so hard at this, be-
cause no one has such a direct local
interest and pride. as Representative

and whose civic pride and material In
terests are conferred there.

Charleston Anxious.

There is good reason to believe here
that Charleston Is fearful lest the
present Congress is going to do some.
thing to It's government armor plate
and projectile plans, which belief was
strengthened by the appearance in
Washington of Walter Hallenan and
Fred Paul Grosscup. They held CON:
ference with Representative l.. s.
Echols on the matter. The situation in
Washington in regard to the plants
mentioned, and in regard TO the plant
at Nitro, further south OF Charleston,
30 far as 1t has developed, may be
briefly summed UP in one sentence:
Congress will make no further appro-
priations for those plants until most
thorough and searching investigation
is made of the manner in which the
previous vast appropriations have been
expended. Then, too, 1t is more than
likely that from the discussion over
the appropriations clash will develop
in Congress that will draw the line
taut between those in favor Of govern
ment ownership and conduct of plants
of this kind and those who oppose It.
The Navy department knows that

Charleston are going to get the probe
and get It deep. It is fully aware
that citizens of Charleston have fur.
nished members Of the Congress with
mass of evidence, written and photo.
graphic, to substantiate their charge
that there has been wanton waste Of
the money of the taxpayers there, ut.
ter incompetence and inefficiency, po-
litical favoritism and nepotism, and
the establishment Of a haven Of refuge
and a safety zone for army slackers
from wealthy families or families with
political pull. Evidence that this is
true is in the nature of frequent as
surances recently too members Of the
Congress from executive officials that
there has been asgradual wedding out
of incompetents and a healthy i'm
proyement in the personnel of en-.
ployes of the government in these
Charleston plants.
Nobody is better aware of the real
situation, nor is Keeping closer tabs
on 1t than is Representative L. S.
Echols, Of the Charleston district.
About the same thing may be said OF
both of the Senators and all of the
West Virginia members of the House.
They realize that they are soon to
be called on, not to defend criminal
extravaganza and incompetence Of the

The Sherman antitrust law was

general public. which had not yet come
to realize that increased wages must

One compromise plan discussed to-

rcsubmittcd by the President, to the
foreign relations committee with the
understanding that ii would remain
there until some agreement had been
reached by private negotiation for its
ratification. With two-thirds OF The
senate lined up for such program,
it was pointed out, the treaty could
be brought out Of committee, cloturc
adopted, and the whole matter speed

atc'S time from pressing legislation.
The Republican lcarcs emphasized
that some such plan must be adopted
if the treaty is to be considered at
all declaring that railroad and other
legislation, which the treaty crowded
out Of the special session just closed,
must not be longer delayed.

SOY BEANS.

The soy bean is now generally re-

as can be found. So fully am / con-
WINGED Of the value of this plant that
I have made a strong effort to get
them generally planted in Grenada
Comfy this year. Through the assist
a,nce of the Grenada Bank we were
able to buy a car load of these beans
and furnish them for about $1.OO per
bushel less than they could be had
from local sources. They were fur
nished so cheap that one of our pro-
f~essional hog raisers bought 100
bushels of them to feed to his hogs.
We have about 10 sacks that we are
going to divide into small packages
1 peck to the package and let them
out for 75c per package. A peck
will plant an acre and an acre can
produce enough seed to plant all the
beans you will wish TO plant next
year. This puts Soy beans in the
reach Of every farmer in Grenada
County regardless of his financial
condition. You can sell two and a
half eggs and get enough seed TO
plant an acre and ] sincerely hope
that every farmer will avail himself
Of tbs opportunity. These should
