efforts on their part, in response to
this appeal, did plant larger acre

heretofore been planted Some of
them did it at very great sacrifice
in order to help feed the world while
the war continued.
The making of this proposal to
them by the president and by the
congress and the response made
by the farmers in planting a larger
acreage became a solemn, binding
contract between the government
an dthe wheat farmers that the
prices of $2.2 6per bushel would be
made certain to them.
To my way of thinking, common
honesty requires that we keep our
contract, and Chairman Lever and
the agricultural committee behind
him have unanimously reported this

of President Wilson and the agri.
cultural department. feel that con

One additional thought that | hope

SOUTH FACES NEW ERA
WITH BRIGHT PROSPECTS


! pioneering their way into the for
ests.'
Breed improvements in livestock
in this territory has also made great
strides, the southern farmer now
being thoroughly awakened to the
fact that the cost of production on
well-bred animal is no greater
than on a scrub.
Figures showing the increase in
visible cash and government securi-
ties acquired by the people Of
Maury county Tennessee, Of which
Columbia is the county seat, during
the war, in addition to the increased
value Of farm lands during the past
few years, would Indicate that the
war was worth S1,OOO,O0O a year to
that section.
Commenting on this increase in
wealth, ]. f. Brownlow, cashier os
the Maury National Bank, told the
United Press that it marks the be-
ginning of a new era of financial
conditions in the south. Before the
world war, he said, southern banks
were compelled to go to New York
and other Eastern cities for money
to finance any large undertakings.
The labor question, it was stated,
will not affect the south as much as
other sections Of the country There
still is a big shortage of labor on
farms and construction work
throughout Tennessee, Arkansas,
Mississippi and Louisiana.
The lowly yam saved the day for
many Mississippi and Louisiana
farmers last season, and will be re-
lied upon again to large extent

uct put up in cans was furnished the
army and navy.
New canning establishments are
being built throughout this section

nouneed that its plant will be con

drafting establishment.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb 17-Witn
prosperity prevailing on all sides
Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi and
Louisiana will enter the peace era
unafraid of the future.
A careful survey Of business, in.
dustry and agriculture throughout
the four states, made by the United
States, indicates a progressive wave
of development in this section.
Plans for enlarging Industrial plants
and business on a broader scale are
being rapidly consummated. Agri-
culture is on d more diversified
scale, improved methods and ma
chinery supplanting old.
Due to appeals for general diver
sified farming during the war, the
Memphis region alone last year pro
duced $40 worth of food and silage
crops for each SIT worth of cotton.
Efforts are being made to exceed
that figure this spring.
AS in many other sections of the
south, cotton growers are holding a
large portion of their 1918 crop off
the market, expecting higher prices.
Planters are better fixed financially
than at any time in the history Of
the four states.
Continued prosperity is predicted
by Frank Hayden, president of the
Guaranty Bank and Trust company.
Memphis, who declares the only
cause for anxiety is in finding suf-
ficient jobs for returning soldiers.
However, he believes this will be
la6eely solved by many organizations
doubling their size and through de-
velcpment of idle lands for soldier
settlements.
Plans for developing idle lands
are under way. More than. 11000,-
600 acres of southern land have been
offereds the government for soldier
settlements The greater portion of
this land is in Tennessee, Arkansas,
Mississippi, Texas and Louisiana.

consulting engineer Of the United
States Department of Reclamation,

AT WORK ON RULES
FOR WHEAT PRICES

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-A F.
Lever of the agricultural committee
of the house and Congressman Scott
Ferris are making strenuous endeav-
ors to secure a special rule for the
immediate consideration for the bill
guaranteeing the wheat price for the
1919 crop. They have appealed to
Chairman Pou of the rules commit
tee and Claude Kitchin, Majority
leader of the house. Mr.. Ferris has
sent the following letter to Leader
Kitchin regarding the matter:
Hon. Claude Kitchin, Chairman,
Committee on Ways mad Means,

want to make an earnest request
of you, as majority leader, to urge
the committee on rules to help Sc
cure the adoption and bringing in
of rule providing consideration for
the wheat relief measure.
The six and a half million farm

faithfully by the president, by the

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE
casualty list of the American coal.
mining army for 1918, just reported
to Secretary Lane of the Department
of the Interior by the Bureau of
Mines, includes 2,575 men killed
This is the penalty paid by one
peaceful industry during "a year Of
war, said Secretary Lane, "and it
emphasizes the hardly appreciated
fact that the worker in the mining
industry who did his full duty during
the war braved perils as did the sol

when the war was on, we Amer
leans created many slogans, and not
the least among them was that
Coal will win the war The war
has been won, and in its winning
there will always stand forth the
brilliant achievement and patriotic
effort of the American coal miner.
With a little more than three-quar-
ters of a million men in this army,
with only 5000 more men than en-
ployed in the year before, these
men succeeded in bringing from the

factor in bringing the war to Il
speedy close. The total production
of ccal was 6S5,3OO,OO0 tons, the
greatest production ever achieved.
"And while it is always regret
able that a single life should be
lost, I am informed by Mr. Manning.
the director of the Bureau of Mines,
that the year, in comparison with
other years, was a rather fortunate
one in regard to fatalities. Despite
the fact of the younger men being
called to the colors and the ravageg
of the influenza epidemic, under
the stress of war we produced more
coal for every miner killed than
ever before in the history of Amer
lean mining. For, every life lost
there was 266,OOO tons of coal pro
duced.
There was a decrease of 233
deaths from explosions of gas and
coal dust, which shows that, despite
the rush and turmoil, the operators
and men are paying more attention
to the precautions promulgated by
the Bureau of Mines.
ut is rather curious, but true,
that, with the mines operating to
there is less liability of a
high death rate for the reason that
the great activity tends to prevent
accumulations of gas in the old
workings and compels the mainten-
ance of better roof conditions~

of the American coal miner was
brilliant and one that will not be
forgotten by a grateful people for a
long time"

WILSON'S WORDS
 CLEAR UP DOUBT
CALIFORNIA THROWS OVER ITS LEADER, JOHNSON, AND
 RALLIES TO LEAGUE.
WEST GIVES HIM OVATION
Explained Away By President, and Former Doubters Hasten to Give
 Him Their Support.

(By Independent News Bureau, form erly Mt Clemens News Bureau.)
 Aboard President Wilson's Special Train-A continuous ovation along the Pacific coast and then on his eastward way back toward the capital was given to President Wilson as he came toward the end of his month daylong speaking tour in behalf of the League of Nations. California. particularly the -clightful city of Los Angeles, went wild in its enthusiasm for him and his advocacy of the League. and 1t was in that state, perhaps. that he did his most successful missionary work. Hiram Johnson, California's former governor, now her United States sena- tor, and considered by her as the most likely Republican candidate for the presidency in 1920, had before the ar rival of President Wilson, convinced 8 great number of citizens that the League as at present formulated was not a good thing. He had told them that the United States, because of 1t, would be drawn into every petty European quarrel; he argued that we would lose our sovereignty by joining with the European nations. He had blamed the president for assenting to the possession by Japan of the Penin- sula of Shan Tung In China
The Carlisle independent., 1919-10-02

But MT. Wilson, with clear logic and with compelling eloquence, answered to the entire satisfaction of Califor- nia's people every objection which Senator Johnson had made to the League. And thousands of the states citizens deserted the Johnson stand ard immediately and rallied to the sup
 port of the president. More than that
 they came forward and said, We were against you, Mir. President, but you have cleared everything up and now we are with you heart and soul '
 Still more than that, they let Senator Johnson know that they were nc longer with him and that they disap
 proved of the speaking tour which he himself was making in opposition to the League and so powerful was the volume of public opinion which reach ed him, that the senator almost i'm mediately abandoned his tour. The Shan Tung question, because of the anti-Japanese feeling which undouhted- iy exists along the Pacific coast was the most serious which the president had to answer. He explained to the people that ha had been powerless to prevent the rich peninsula from being given to Japan. England and France
 through a secret treaty, had promised 1t to Japan for entering the war and remaining in it. That treaty had to be carried out Anyway it was not China that was losing Shan Tung, but Germany. which had seized the terri
 tory from China in 1898 and held it ever since. Japan had promised, the president explained, to return Shan Tung as soon as the peace treaty was ratified and it was only through the ratification of the treaty with the League of Nations inclusion, that China could ever expect to get her former property back. And she surely would get it back, he declared, through the ratification of the League. There fore, through the same instrumentality no other nation could again prey upon the Great, patient. dillgent. but help less kingdom" As to our being drawn into any European conflict. The pres idont pointed out that no direct action

5uch as the sending of troops to any part cf the world to maintain or re- store order could be taken by the Council of the League without unanl- mols vote of the council members, therefore our vote could at once mega tive any such proposition as sending our soldiers where we did not want hem sent. Besides, MT. Wilson argued, If you have to quench fire in Cali Lornia you don't send for the fire de- partment of Utah." But, he argued, there probably never will be another wsr, if the League Is established, for the meslbers promise either to arbi- trate their difference and accept the decision of the arbitrator, lay the dif- ferences for discussion and publica- tion before the Council of the League for a period of six months, and then, if possible, accept the councils advice. That failing, they agree to refrain from war for further period of three months and nine months of cooling off," the president contended, would prevent any armed conflict. These clear explanations satisfied every reasonable nearer and destroyed the 'Bugaboos' which Senator Johnson and others had raised against the League. Through rugged Nevada into Utah, the land of Mormons. the president swept to find that those fine people were heartily with him for ths League and a Der. manency of peace.
