Famous Georgians.
By J. E. D. SHIP.

Tacitus in his history of the Jugurthine wars
states that the rea son wwhy the Romans exceed all
other nations in proves of arms and in statesman
ship because of the fact that when any individual
did great act the Romans would erect a city as a
statue to his memory, and the city was filled with
great statues of the noblest and bravest Honorine
the great and gifted the Romans honoreed themselves
and inspired their children by their memorials to do
deeds of valor and of masterful triumph
The Commercial Appeal, of Memphis Tenn, is
publishing a series of articles under the heading of
Famous Mississippians," written by Mr.. Banks, of
Columbus Miss In the biography of one of the
school mates of William H. Crawford he relates very
characteristic cdote of this the greatest Georgian
Crawford was in school at the Carw Il Academy at the
old Kiokee Creek in Columbia County, Georgia, and
his preceptor was the great Moses Waddell, the
greatest teacher that Georgia produced. Craw-
ford had bright-eyed little sweetheart about IL
years of age AC cordng to the rules of the srhooI
at this time she was to be classified for some in
fringment of the dciplne She was called up to the
masters desk to be whipped, and instantly Crawford
who then boy of the age his little
outsretched hand and in most persuasive language
he could utter, said please Mr. WaddeI let me
take the whipping instead of sousanna" It is need
less to note that the whipping administered to
neither that day at the Carmel Academy. This in
cident only illustrates of thousands of traits that
made william H Crawford the greatest man that
Georgia ever produced.

The Development of County Work in
New Jersey

County agent work began in New
Jersey in 1912 when Essex and Mercer
Counties organized from bureaus for
the support of a county agent. New
Jersey was one of the first of the north
ern and Western states to give this
work a trial. Sussex county being the
second county in this section.
Since 1912, county agent or farm
demonstration work has had a steady
growth in New Jersey, so that nua
/. 1919. eighteen counties in the State
had taken it up. This development was
due to the fact that in this short time
county agents demonstrated their
worth.
In May, 1913, the State Legislature
passed an act, which provided Tor
carving out farm demonstration in the
county and a year later Congress
passed the Smith Lever act for the sup
port of cooperative extension work IN
agriculture and home economics. one
way in which his was to be carried out
was through the employment of county
agents. The farm demonstrators OF the
New Jersey law, and the county agent
as provided by the Federal law per-
form in general the same duties.
Under the support given by these two
laws backing up local appropriations,
the work spread quite rapidly over the
state. In 1914, Monmouth, Bergen ana
Atlantic counties began the work. In
1915. Cape May, Middlesex, Cumberland
and burlington counties adopted 1t.
In 1916. Morris and Passaic counties
followed.
--;l 80 enota offap we declared
war on Germany that increased food
production was necessary for winning
the war.
The county agent was recognized as
an important factor in speeding up 1000
production and as the best means OF
helping the farmers and the govern
ment understand each other. The fooq
nroduction act provided funds which
made it possible still further to develop
comfy agent work. During 1917 ana
1918. Gloucester. Ocean, camden, Somer-
set. salem, Essex and Warren I'M
received county agents under the proNl-
sions of the act.
The rapid development would never
have been possible without liberal as
sistance from Federal and State funus.
Farmers were suspicious and skeptlcal
at first. and they had to be shown what
a county agent could do, before they
wanted to demand much of an apppro-
priation from local funds. But IN the
short time the work has been on trlal
If has proved itself, and armer IN
general are beginning to feel that they
have a right to the services of a puollc

things which the farmer himself cannot

PRODUCTION is WORLD NEED

Extraordinary increases of prices
during the last eight months have Gre
ated fierce resentment against profit
eering and demand for laws to pun
ish profiteers. This demand will bring
about prosecution of the most shame
less profiteers. This will induce 9TH
ers to curb their greed, but neither
prosecution nor laws will materially
affect the world price level
The real cause for high prices is
the shortage of production. Owing to
the war; food in Europe is scarce. TAX
be enough food to go aroud if proper
ly distributed But to properly dis
tribute this food credit must be given
to those countries. They must eat.
If money is loaned to those countries
they will eat.
Stocks of cotton, steel and copper
in Europe are nearly exhausted. Now
there is an urgent demand for such
stocks for peace purposes, in order
to get European factories to run. The
raw material is not there, but the
world-supply of material is ample. If
credit is given to Europe material
will be bought This credit will be
granted.
With the granting of this credit our
supply of raw material and food W IL
diminish unless production is in
creased. If our food supply and stock
supply of raw materials and food will
result as soon as European credit is
established, prices will go still higher.
The only solution to the high-price
problem is more production.

Bolsheviki Drive
Denikine's Army Back
40 Miles on Long Front
By Associated Press

London, Thursday. Dec. 12.-Bol-
shevik forces have again heavily at
tackled the left flank of General
Denikine's army and driven the lat
ter's volunteers back to a depth of
80 or 40 miles along a front from
three to four hundred miles long.
The reds are within fifty miles of
Kharkov and Poltava and are
swinging around to the southeast
of Kiev, which is also threatened
from the northeast according to
news from South Russia. The situa-
ton gives rise to anxiety.
On the Caucasus front, however,
the Bolsheviki have been repulsed
with heavy losses. Don Cossacks
have also been successful in pushing
back the reds. Fighting on the
southern front has curiously revert
ed to the type of the days of Water
loo. The major portion of the bat
ties are being waged by we'll trained
mounted men.

Frick Will Made Before
War Profits Doubled Estate

Pittsburgh, Dec. IA Henry Clay
Frick, late steel magnate, art collect
or and multimillionaire. made his will,
disposing of some $143,0O0,000 worth
of property, in the early part of 1915,
1t was learned here to-day.
With the benefit of four years war
profits, his properties have probably
enhanced in value twice as much as
when the will was made.
Four or five months must elapse be-
fore the final inventory of the will 10
completed. Charles A. Snyder. audi
tor general, said to-day.
The Federal tax, which Is to be col
lected from the bequests, was found
to be 25 per cent, which. by the terms
OF the will. must be deducted from
tho residuary estate. 1t is almost an
assured fact now the bequests will
be reduced at least SO per cent, al
though the tax Is to be collected only
from the net estate, that part of the
estate not bequeathed to charity or to
the public.
Pennsylvania's tax will amount to
approximately $5,000,000 it is said to-
day, while the Federal tax, according
to conservative estimate will be
