RIO THE residents along the chesa-
peake shore the summer season is
the ideal portion of the year. For
e Is then that the sea foods are at
their best. Salt oysters, clans and
crabs and fish are abundant. Lovers
of sea foods who are on vacations
and the summer colonists nearby
journey to the Chesapeake shores to
enjoy their favorite sea foods.
1t is here that the clam bakes,
grilled fish and shore dinners first
came into prominence along the
coast. Along the Chesapeake and
the Virginia coasts in the summer
time are small resorts that cater to
the tourist. Here one is enchanted
with the wild nature of the coast,
where the bathing is finest and the
wild waves are truly picturesque in
their boisterous behavior. So, after
a dip in the briny deep, one feels able
to do justice to the abundant sea-
food dinner that is placed before one.
A choice from the following menus
may be selected:
Steamed Salt Oysters
Steamed CLANS, With Melted Butter
Grilled or Fried Fish
Baked Potatoes Boiled Corn on Cob
Fried Grabs or Grab Croquettes
Coleslaw
Summer Apple or Wild Blackberry
Roll
Bread and Butter
Coffee, Tea or Milk

southern darky can cook these foods.

CHEAP COTTON

1t is quite natural for an Eastern spinner to prefer cheap
cotton. This is the raw material, which he manlpulates and
converts into the finished product. The cheaper the raw mate
rial the greater his profits, because through agreements with
a few others, he can and does put the prices on a level with
the consumers purchasing power, so that he may squeeze out
fof them the last possible silver.
Lint cotton, when spun and woven, is another commodity,
and in new hands, and these new owners have perfected methods
of price-fixing and distribution in ways unknown to the cotton
Eraisers, who depend wholly on the fluctuating law Of supply
and demand.
measure, and the spinners and manipulators protest vigorously
because such regulation will limit their profits and reduce their
incomes. The planters, however, should learn wisdom from
experience, and consider their own interests, which are para
mount.
A distinguished representative of the spinning industry has
been with us for some days, telling our planters that they will
find a market for all the cotton that they can produce, and that
thousands of spindlcs are sure to be idle unless a bumper crop
is raised. Our planters should make a note of this. Idle
spindles represent dead capital, and to keep it alive their owners
will go into the market and try to supply themselves. This
will increase the demand, and put up prices, If the market is
flooded or glutted the bidding will not be very lively. SO long
as the cotton is made the spinners can wait until such time as
the price suits them. In this respect they have a decided advan-
tage over the planter, who cannot wait. His product must
bring him in the money i'll order that the cost OF production
may be met, and the actual producers sustained.
No matter how interesting a visitor may be, pure altruism
is not an element in business life, and no one is coming from
Massachusetts, or Rhode Island to help and benefit the planters
by his advice. On the contrary, the general government, which
IS not sectional or selfish, has sent out representatives who
\ advise the planters to devote their efforts and energies to
increasing the supply Of food and ~fecdstuffs, and to abandon
the ruinous one-crop system of bygone years.
Without advice from any source, and guided by their own
intelligence and experience, planters know that if they cly the
Y cotton market and stint the food and feed supply, they will be
working against their own interests and wasting both at the
bung and the spigot. Cotton brings money, but when raised
abundanty not much money. Food and feed cost money, and
can be raised much cheaper than they can be purchased, The
4 problem is simple enough, once it is seriously considered.
Less cotton and more food mean prosperity. More cotton
and insufficient food mean hard times and Indulgence.

MIsoUoTING THE FATHERS

Those who are seeking to cmbarrass President Wilson by
opposing the league of nations never tire of citing Washington
as having advised against "entanging alliances with foreign
nations" Washington never used the expression. The correct
lection from his farewell address is ''Tis our true policy to steer
clear of permanent alliances with any portion Of the foreign
world"
In his first inaugural address Jefferson used the expression
in this manner: peace, commerce and honest friendship with
all nations-entangHng alliances with none" Putting the words
OF Jefferson into the mouth Of Washington may give them
greater weight and sanctity, but it is inaccurate and disin-
genuous, a deliberate misquotaton, which is a grievous oiiense
in those who essay to teach and lead, and who ought to be
accurate above all things.

and ~recklessness that will misquote historical announcements
that are known, or, at least, accessible to everyone, CONVEYS an
insult to public intelligence that is sure to be rebukcd. Both
Washington and Jefferson are very high authority, but they
should be correctly quoted, and not garbled and made to say
what they did not say, and, under changed conditions, would
not say. The world has Travelled much since the days of Wash.

the Revolutionary war, and this alliance was "permanent" mas
much as it still exists, and the people Of this country have
shown that they approve of it. Wisdom is transitve, if no
transitory. The wisdom OF the ancients, like their geography
and astronomy, is not suitable for the present day, and ou
wisdom may be esteemed folly by postcrty. True wisdom is
that which serves best the present; the future will provide it,

~CERTAINTY-NOT DEGREE

The sentence of a year in the ~workhousc and a fine of $3.50
imposed upon Keso Haley, society man Of Chattanooga, for
making liquor, is indicative of the temper of the people upon
the prohibition issue. The fact that HALEY was convicted in
a federal court, which, in popular imagination, is as memorable
as death in its judgments, is beside the question. Iures in a
federal court, as in state courts, are sole Judges OF the facts in
all cases.
Apropos OF the enforcement OF the prohibition law, in par
ticular, and Of all laws in general, certainty of punishment, it
guilty, rather than severity of the penalty, is the end to be
hoped for. Too frequently a fine is only an absurdly small
license for law violation. Fines should not be imposed except
IN cases where it would be detrimental to the public welfare,
and inefficacious tor the state or the government to exact a Jail
sentence. Nothing impresses upon the ~wrongdocr the futiity

certainly of a jail sentence when his sins shall find him out.
