had chance was casting about for a
means to become a Frenchman, a Han
oVerlan, an Englishman, Dane, a Pole
or citizen of an independent republic
erected out of part Of Germany. A
German is going to lie under two heavy
burdens, the burden of international
hatred and the burden of n great war
debt. A good many of them seem to
want to escape both.

sibility, nay the certainty. of world
dominion lay before the Germans if
they would only remain Germans and
not rush away into the other camp that
was temporarily victorious.
America Has Different View
American estimates of Gcrmany's
future do not agree with Herr Erz-
bergor's. For example, such a man as
Herbert Hoover thinks that If the pro-
posed treaty is carried out it will be
necessary for 10000. 900 Germans to
cmigratc from Germany in the next
fcw years and find employment else
where. Left in the condition in which
the defeat has left her Germany can
not support her present industrial popu
lation. Moro than that, her people
can not multiply ms they have in the
past. The material basis of future
greatness is gone; even the material
basis for maintaining present greatness
is gone.
Germany's Huge Material Losses
Germany was built up on the posses
sion of vast store of raw materials.
What she lacked she made favorable
, contracts for in the rest of the world.
As n result of her defeat she has lost
more than half her store of natural
resources and she has lost all her con-
tracts. She has lost seventy per cent
of her iron and thirty per cent of her
/ coal.
Nor do coal and iron tell the whole
story. Before the war Germany had n
monopoly, or nearly one, of potash. Now

But the group which controls the
world has still another hold upon Ger
many. They are its creditors, probably
for generation to come. Under any
treaty which is made they will have
great powers over Germany. They also
sit in the executive council of the league
of nations.
The powers which the big five have
are remarkable. No state may change
the boundaries fixed by the treaty with =
out consent. Therefore no state can
leave Germany without approval. On
the other hand, not only may they ap-
prove changes in Germany's makeup,
but they can offer financial inducements
to bring about such changes. And under
the principle that the rights of minori
ties in states are an international con =
Germ the big five may enter Germany
and interfere apparently on the behalf of
individual states or parts of states.
They cap cultivate relations with parts
Of Germany which will make them more
pro Entente as the Rhcnish lands now
are, rather than pro- Prussian. They
can split Germany into independent
states and cause the empire of the kaiser
to follow the course of tn eempire of the
czars and the empire of the sultan and
the empire of the Hapsburgs.
In place of Russia may be the ten
or more states into which old Russia
broke, including a separate state OF
/ Siberia. In place of Germany may be
the several independent states which
Bismarck found and welded into an
empire.

her old Specialtics, for all nations will

One American economic expert who
has been working on the peace treaty
here in association with Mr. Baruch
told me it would be one hundred years
before Germany becomes once more
as great as Sne was WHCu Sne pre-
ciptated the world war. In the
meantime the United Stntcs and
the British empire. the latter
through it's colonies, will have grown
far beyond their present size and wealth
and Germany will be relatively n small
nation. 1t is likely that France, with
the iron and phosphates of Alsace- Lor =
raine; with her colonies. especially
northern Africa. if she develops the
capacity for modern industrialism, will
have pissed Germany before n century
is passed. m

AGRICULT URAL
CENSUS PLANS
COUNTY AGENT j. w. SARGENT
CALLS ATTENTION TO ONE OF
THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS
FOR NEXT YEAR.
By J. w. Sargent,

Pulaski County Agricultural Agent.
The work of taking the 1920 CEN
sus will soon be under way This
wear the Director of the Census has
received aid from the U. S. Depart
ment Of Agriculture in preparing the
questions for the farmers. A great
effort is being made to get data from
the farmers that will be of value to
them when compiled. For this rea,
son farmers should give every assist
ance possible to the enumerators
when they call
The data collected from the farm
ers and published in the Census is
quoted throughout the land by repre-
senetatives of cur legislative bodies,
newspapers, and by other agencies,
i'll an effort to influence the state pol
tic ytowards the farming population.
Much harm can be done in this way
unless farmers take every medium
of getting for the enumerator accu-
rate and reliable data regarding farm
ing condition. But if this data, as
collected, is not reliable we can see
at once the conclusions drawn there
from may be very harmful and err
roneous.
The collecting of the Census data
is not in any way connected with the
formation OF. schemes of taxation. It
is an impartial and honest attempt
to get the facts without any thought
of increasing the farmers burden by
taxation or otherwise. Farmers are
only helping themselves and the 9TH
err men in the farming occupation by
giving accurate and complete data
and doing it promptly.
One of the new phases of the work
which is of interest to all farmers is
the attempt to obtain information
which will ssow how easy, or how
difficult it is. and how long it requires,
for a young man starting in the farm
ing business to become a land owner.
1t seems to most of us that it is be-
coming more and more difficult for \
young man to own a. farm-that the
number of tenants in our agricultural
communities is increasing. Whether
this is true or not, and just how true
it is, must be known before any def
nite steps can be taken to remedy
the situation. This Census should
give some of the information needed.
Another important question dealing
with the source which is causing the
farmer great losses, and for which
he has received no price credit, is a
matter of abandoned. acreage of va
rions crops each season. Price COM

ARKANSAS SHOULD BUILD
A DOZEN COTTON MILLS
IN 1920.

During the past few months
we have talked with dozens of
manufacturers, jobbers, retail
ers, brokers and professional
men about the prospects for
cotton mills in Arkansas. All
agree that we should have one,
and many say we should have
them in every section of the
State. Arkansas now has one
small mill, and it is a big sue
cess. Cotton mills cannot be
erected and operated on small
capital, but even at that there
should be much money in the
State for the development of the
textile industry. The business
men of the cotton centers of the
State should get together and
organize a company sufficient to
build, equip and overate a local
mill, These pay well in other
States, and Arkansas is more
fortunate in fuel than most of
them. Cotton mills are not crea-
lures of child and pauper labor.
They put money into a commu-
ity and give employment the
year round. Think it over and
then get busy.

TALK OF 1,5OO-POUND HOGS
is GETTING TO BE
RATHER COMMON.

1t has not been so long ago
when a farmer with a team of
ponies or mules weighing 1,500
pounds considered himself indie
pendent, but in the papers now
adays we read of this farmer and
that having hogs that weigh as
much as the team our old COON
skin cap brother would boast of.
It is just a sign of the times.
There are few of these big hogs,
but now that we have sires ca
pable of breeding them, they
will multiply in great numbers.
Shades of the past! What would
some of our old cartoonist
friends who made famous the
Arkansas Razorback say if they
could see a 1,500-pound Arkan-
sas hog? Well, the whole State
is improving just as rapidly as
is the stock in the State, and it
will continue to do SO. That is
the history Of all States and Ar
kansas is no exception-just a
shining example, or the star pu-
pill in the school of States.
