BUSY WHEATLEY
 RI(E HARVEST ON
The Harvest of 1919 Rice Sea- son Begins in Earnest
 Earliest for Many Years

Wheatley, the Rice City, is a busy old town every hour of the day now. Our merchants go in swing and rush all the day long as they try to keep up with the wants of the rice grow CTS, many of whom have begun the rice harvest.
 The harvest is on in earnest on the big P. and l.. Ranch, on the Buchholz Ranch, on the Prairie Blossom Ranch, the Hunter Rice & Land Co.,, and several other of our leading ranches.
 The Wheatley merchants are open from early morn till late at night in order to take care of the wants of the ranchers.
 The talk about all the rice be- ing harvested before the frost is all a mistake. There are hum dreds of acres-yea, thousands of acres-in the Wheatley dis trict which will not stop grow ing before the frost bids it to stop even if frost does not come until October 25. It needs ev- cry day.
 Down in the Gunter place the new rice, just east of the Lee mon school house, will do well if it natures by Nov. 1st. That's my idea, tho I may be wrong.
 It can be readily seen that these are indeed busy days on the Rice Ranches around Wheatley, with many harvest ing and quite few pumping, it is a real busy Wheatley we have every day in the week.

installation of considerable new machin- cry and equipment will provide manufac-
 turing facilities second to none in the trailer industry. Plans for the building are well under way, and it is hoped to have it ready for occupany in the fall. It will be complete in every detail and of the most approved type of construction for the class of work the company is en- gaged in. Numerous conveniences will be provided, nsuring ideal working con- ditions for shop employees.
 The Fruehauf Trailer company was established about five years ago, as an outgrowth of the wagon truck business or A. C. Fruehauf. The company entered into the manufacture of heavy duty semi trailers, being pioneers in the industry. During the five-year period countrywide distribution has been established and Fruehauf trailers are now carried in stock in nearly all commercial centers of the United States and in some points of Canada. At present complete line of semi trailers ranging in capacity from ? to 10 tons are being produced and four wheel railers of from IF to tons.
 Since the armistice was signed last No- vember, there has also been greatly increased demand from foreign coun- tries. During the past week the Frue- bauf distributors in Norway placed an order for immediate delivery, including l2 semi -trailers and one model Recent shipments are reported to Dutch East

FACTS COUNT IN
 AUTOMOBILE BUYING
All Car Owners Check Values in
 Purchasing

Prospective car owners everywhere are making more careful investigations in the car field" said T. F. Jarrard. vice president of the Apperson Bros. Automo- bile company, in talk before salesmen in Phila delphia the other day. 'It is now more than ever necessary that we should state definite values and give the reasons for superiority. This is certainly true of the man who is buying his second or third car and it is becoming more true of those who are now among automobile buyers.
 Recognizing these as facts, Apperson Bros Automobile company have been giving future car owners definite state tnents to consider How the AppersoE can go from 1 to 40 miles an hour in high in 20 seconds, how it can stop from 40 miles hour to a standstill in sec onds, or a distance of only 40 yards. Such mechanical facts as the 13S-inch wheel base. it's turning capacity of 8 IA 1 feet and the tire and gasoline mileage records are all presented to the buyer 1 There seems to be no part of the car | that does not interest the prospective buy CT.

There can be no longer any doubt that the automobile has taken its place as. public utility" is the statement Of vice president R. c. Rueschaw of the Mitchell motors company, Inc, of Ra- cine, Wisconsin. Although during the war 1t was classed as a luxury, the various campaigns determining the uses fo which passenger cars were put, determined beyond question that they are regarded chiefly as utilities and as luxuries only in secondary way"
 "In speaking of the telephone, the

The securities, of sound prosperous automobile manufacturers are preferred investments. Bankers know that they can safely count upon any business which is indispensable U the public welfare"
 The increasing stability of the auto. mobile business is rendering it easier for car manufacturers to increase the values they offer the public. In many cases prices are advancing as tn. changing conditions due to the end oi the war effect the manufacturers but In all cases greater values are now of Tered than ever before and as usual the public Is the one benefited"

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
(Article No. 81

One of the wise precautions provided Tor III
our Const, on is that which requires ratl1lcatloh
of all treaties by the Senate.
This provision was designed as safeguard
AGAINST hastv action by nation upon matters
of 50 much Importance as international agree
ments It is very likely that President wilson,
in his enthusiasm for the League, would have
signed up the first draft of the covenant, If ne
had had the sole treaty-makng power. In ms
brief visit to this country, between February "a
and March 5, 1919, he vigorously defended the
covenant as then written and insisted it would
have to be ratified in practically that ldentlcal
form However, the hasty discussion OF those
ten davs led President Wilson to procure a num-
ber of important changes in the covenant when
he himself now admits were wise. If little
discussion was productive of wise changes, is II
not possible that more discussion based upon
fuller and more complete examination and STUDY,
NAV show additional changes which it would be
wise to make?
If we demand that the Senate ratify treaty
exactly as the President hands it to them, then
the constitutional provision is a nullity and our
country has denied itself all the benefits when
might result from careful examination and study
mature reflection and thorough debate am
sure that the American people want such import
ant matters as international agreements decided
not on snap Judgment but upon the mature
and deliberate Judgment of our Senate
Again, the open discussion and public debate
now being carried on is another matter OF great
Importance | am for exactly what President
Wilson says he is for: open covenants openly
arrived at"
The adoption of the League of Nations cove
nant will cast serious and heavy obligations upon
our people and they should fully understand just
what these new obligations are before they sign
up.
america never goes back on its word' So
we don't want any "welshers" to propose, at
some future date, after we have gone into the
IeagueOf Nations that America default some
of her obligations because they didn't know these
obligations were included in the covenant. The
senator's, therefore, who are conducting search
ing inquiry and examination into every clause
of the covenant and who are acQuanting the
public with its full purport and meaning, are
performing valuable public service. Of course,
do not approve Of personal or partisan attacks,
but such, believe, are the exception and not
the rule.

"LET THE PAPER DO 1T"

The Press heartily endorses the statements
made in the following editorial. The same sltua-
ton referred to in this editorial has existed here
in Ell Centre and Imperial county time and again,
as every newspaper man in the county can
testify.
Getting the newspaper to do things that
other people find it not agreeable to do and to
start campaigns contests to please some men
or organizations that haven't the nerve to take
up the issue themselves, is an old game here and
everywhere else.
The editorial referred to is from the IazoO
(Miss) Sentinel and is as follows:
The other day several prominent
citizens of YazOo City were discussing
local situation and thought that some
thing should be done After it was
found that it was unpleasant, unproflt-
able and risky for any direct action to
be taken by any individual or civic
group, it was the consensus of opinion
it was an opportune time for the news
paper to jump in with both feet and
force the desired action.
There isn't anything strange about
such proceedings as this. There is
hardly a week passes but the mail
brings a letter to the editor from some
one asking him to Jump on" somebody
and nearly always the writer wants his
own name kept secret. If the news
paper were to do all that is asked of it
by these people, it would be growing,
Snarling thing-and would accomplish
nothing. The newspapers are ever
ready to oppose wrongs, or fight for the
right, to demand practical reforms, to
praise the worthy and to blame the un-
worthy. They are unafraid. But the
truth is, most Of the demands that the
paper Jump in with both feet and
force action are selfish propositions and
are usually urged by the people who
themselves are unwilling to do exactly
what they request the newspaper TO do.
