Does Grading Pay?

A farmer was standing in a store
the other day In small town when a
customer came in and asked the price
of sweet potatoes. Fifteen cents a
pound replied the proprietor of the
store.
"Why, you only paid me eight cents
a pound for the potatoes | sold you
the other day." interrupted the farmer.
"Yes, that is true" replied the mer-
chant, and you will find about one
fourth Of the lot you sold me over
there which viii give you If you will
get them out of my way. This gentle

SOVIET FEARS PEACE
Esthonian Says DemobiIized
Troops Would Revolt
Unemployment Now Critical Problem
Throughout the Whole Of Russia
Ion Last Legs.

ondon.-Just as imperialism killed
czarism so will imperialism be the
death of Russian sovietiSm, according
to a prediction made to press CORE
spondent by NJ. Pip, the Esthonian
foreign minister in London, analysing
the consequences of the bolshevist Of
fensiye in Poland.
While foreign minister last year NJ.
Pip pitted his wits against the bolshe-
Wiki at Dorpat, and he Is regarded as
one Of the best authorities In Europe
on Russian political and economic con-
ditiOnS.
NJ. Pip asserted that Russia's eco.
monte condition was rapidly getting
worse, because this seasons crop was
failure. He said it was not I'M.
likely that the cities will soon be
wholly depopulated.
"The soviet government dare not re-
duce its enormous army" he cOnclud.
ed. unemployment is now a criti-
cal problem throughout the whole OF
Russia, and, If the men who as SOL
diers are comparatively we'll cared for
were thrown on their own resources
O revolution would result. The chief
terror which the soviet rulers have
to face is peace and rehabilitation"
In common with representatives
here of other Russian border states,
Nj. Pip is watching with profound con-
Germ the Developments in Poland.
"The bolsheviki are fighting Poland
with the allies ammunition which they
captured from Denikin and kolchak,'
he said, "This is now almost exhaust.
ed, and Russia cannot renew it."
Discussing the possibility of an at
tack by the bolsheviki on EsthOnla, Nj.
Pip said:
I'VE are ready for them. The Es'
thonian frontier is now closed by our
troops, except the gates through which
we are trading with Russia. The so.

That child, even in its tender years,
was imbued with the habit OF saving,
was cultivating the budding idea OF
thrift.
If YOU can locate that child today
you will probably find a man who has
made a commercial success in life, VINO
is financially at ease, even IL not
wealthy.
The child who saves his pennies in
time becomes the man who accumulates
his dollars.
But the one who spends his pennies
as fast as he gets them generally finds
that in after years the hablt'has fasten'
ed itself upon him to such an extent
that his life becomes one OF endless
spending always earning money bull
never having a surplus dollar.
The greatest financial injury you can
do your child is to encourage it to 60
out and spend its few cents.
It marks the beginning of bad
ending,
For it is easier for the leopard to
change its spots than for the spendel
to be anything but what he is.

Something New

'9rhere is nothing new under the
sum- One who has had an opportunity
to become intimately acquainted with
the work of the negro scientist-Dr
Caryer-and the many, varied pro-
ducts he has produced from the com
mon sweet potato and the humble pea
nut, will be inclined to doubt the re-
liability of this statement.
As we see t, the greatest value OF
these discoveries does not lay in their
immediate intrinsic value, but in the
very vivid demonstration that we know
little or nothing Of the possibilities OF
the common Southern crops.
Milk-from peanuts; vinegar, tapi
oca, dyestuffs, rubber-from the sweet
potato! Surely, if these are possible
there Is no telling what some OF oul
other bountiful crops may yield. And
they are not only possible; they are
facts actually realized.
1t gives one a greater respect for thl
wonderful possibilities Of the already
great South, and inspires to more In
tensive efforts in development work.

SARDlNIANS WANT FREEDOM

Rome, Italy.-The spirit Of unrest
has penetrated since the war even to
such old world and out of the way
spots as the Island of Sardinia. Among
these picturesque peasants a strong
party has arisen lately whose motto
is SARDINIA alone" They think that
the island, which is the second largest

had little or nothing to do with Italy.
In ancient days Sardinia was one
of the greatest granaries Of the world,
supplying first Carthage and later
Rome with immense quantities OF
grain. Now large proportion Of the
island is uncultivated and about one
fifth Is covered with forests. The most
valuable exports are from the mines
of lead, zinc, antimony, copper, silver,
Ignite and anthracite, which If only
thoroughly developed would be a
source Of great riches.
The Sardinians are splendid fight

KILLS GIRL WHO Knocked HIM

Michael Jaronowicz, "a, swung his

She had hardly touched the ground.
