THE PEOPLES FORUM

It is unfortunate indeed that SO
many Of the twentieth centurians
have so little interest in the many vi
tai questions of the day. Never be-
fore in the history Of the world was
it so essential that all people should
be Informed OF world conditions. All
the disastrous movements started by
enthusiasts are brought about by the
ignorance of men. There is only one
way to judge the future and that is to
have a knowledge Of the past. Great
schools Of learning are maintained for
the purpose Of disseminating knowl-
edge. Young men and women travel
hundreds and thousands Of miles and
spend coolies of money to avail them
selves of the opportunities thus given.
But when man Of the ability Of Mr..
Montaville Flowers comes to town
with message in which he has con-
densed more information about our
own country and its relations to the
world than car be acquired at a great
university in an entire term, only a
corporals guard of the people of the
city show q desire to learn Of these
things. Why is this? Because it re-
Quircs decision and action and.-ffty
cents. It isn't the fifty cents howev-
CT, that is the obstacle. No, it is the
decision and action, or the necessity
of taking affirmative action, it being
so much easier TO follow the path that
requires no self determination, or to
follow habit.
On Tuesday evening Dr. Maurice
IofkOy;tz Of D,1i11th smoke in the
City Hall, to another corporal's guard.
DR.. Lefkovitz talked about the Jews.
People believe q ,ot about the Jews,
hut very few know very much about
them, and, of course, he that believes
the most knows the least. Dr. Lefko-
vitz had a message containing knowl-
edge that all men should know, and
| that is not learned at schools; but
| very few care to know of these things
ard some people walk away from such

from lack of knowledge is that unin-

opinions, and opinions so formed are
| the strongest, or most stubborn opin-
ions, because he that knows the least

emplified very emphatically in our own

Duluth. The gentleman gave very
couDrehensive account and history OF
the Jews and their present needs ana
pleaded for the people of America to
live I'D to their traditions and ideals
in helping the distressed peoples OF
the world. Mr.. Lefkovitz is very
earnest in his manner and produced
statistics and figures to show that the
Jewish people had not received good
treatment at the hands OF Russia;
Roumania, Germany and Austria, and
fhat thew had been abused by these ma
items and practically made destitute

Myrtle Schulz, one OF these fnan-

there are no funds to pay, was arrest
ed in Minneapolis recently and
brought back to Valley City yesterday
morning by Sheriff Larson for trial.
He had passed worthless checks to
the amount of $40 and Judge Moe
figured that it was time some of these
chaps were taught lesson, SO after
the hearing in his court yesterday the
Judge imposed a fine Of 500 and costs
and 80 days in Jail. If the fine is not
paid Schulz will have to work it out
shoveling snow or any other kind of
work the city has for him to do. The
only checks where there are no funds
that go in this state are post-dated
checks-:the supreme court has said
these kind are good.

Kellahan Hotel Sold.

The brick structure located on Main
street opposite the court house and
known as the Kellahan Hotel was sold
at auction yesterday by the Wagner
Real Estate and Guaranty Co.. act
ing as selling agents for Mr.. Tom M.
Kellahan, owner of the property. The
hotel and the 40-foot lot on the east
side of the building were sold togeth-
er for the sum of s25,550.0G to Le-
Roy Lee, ESQ.,, acting for clients.
The store house on Academy
street owned by Mr.. Kellahan and ad-
vertised to be sold yesterday by the
same selling agent, were not disposed
of. The first of the advertised prop
erty offered, however, was the corner
store occupied by L. S. Dennis. There
was a fixed price on this property
and as the highest bid was only S10,-
$4,000, it was withdrawn. The other
stores were not offered.
It is not known yet what will be
done with the hotel, but the supposi-
ton is that a stock company will be
formed and the present property con-
verted into a more modern hostelry-
a thing that the town has long been
in need of.

Employ Cotton Grader and Salesman

Orangeburg, South Carolina, now
has in operation a cotton selling
scheme which has been successful and
is worthy of the consideration of 9TH
er towns and communities.
About seven years ago, Orangeburg
county farmers secured the service
of a government grader which was
thoroughly tried. They found that
this alone was not sufficient. because
the farmers had no way of making
buyers pay them for the grade Of
their cotton after they knew what
they had. In other words, they had
no way of demanding middling prices
for middling cotton, if that happened
to be the grade they had. Seeing
their weak point, the county agents
and farmers worked together and go.
some farmers and business men to
guarantee enough money to pay the
salary of one man to have charge of
the selling of all the cotton handled
by this association. The plan was to
refund this money to those who guar
anteed it, by charging small fee OF
25 cents bale of cotton sold by this
salesman. The outcome has been a
complete success.
Results were so satisfactory that
last year Orangeburg largely set the
cotton market for so miles around in
every direction. More than 5000 bales
of cotton were sold at Orangeburg
above the sales of the previous yea
in spite of the fact that Orangeburg
county made 10000 bales less in 1919
than it made in 1918.
In telling how this proposition has
worked, the county agents, L. r.
Wolfe and w. T. Kyzer, told of one
farmer who objected to paying Is
cents to have his bale of cotton sold.
A buyer paid him 40 cents a pound
for his ungraded cotton, and after do
ing so, found that instead of buying
short staple cotton worth 40 cents a
pound, he had bought long staple
worth 81 a pound. He made clear
profit of $500 on one bale of CT
to the loss of the farmer who saved
25 cents.
Other South Carolina counties are
preparing to sell cotton this year on
the same plan. The small fee OF 25
cents a bale furnishes and keeps up an
office and pays the salary of the sell
ler and grader-P. o. Davis, in T.
