A MONSTER TO DEvoUR US

Under the above frightful head
the Augusta Chronicle makes this ref
erence and comment upon Senator E.
D. Smith, of South Carolina, quoting
him as follows:
II was one of the legislators that
helped to frame the Federal Reserve
legislation. 1t was our intention to
provide for social needs of the farm
ers by more elastic currency system.
But if you fail him now in the hour
of his extremity when the export mar
kets of the world are closed and the
home demand fails, then it will look
more as if we had created a Franken-
stein monster to devour us.
with prices falling and staple
crops selling for half the cost of pro-
ducing them, the farmer must have
help or go under. For several years
the manufacturers of goods have been
able to name their own prices and
regulate their markets, but in times
of topping prices the farmer has no
| -Ni'>A o'iSoo Sou grant IL. IL Is dDSurO
to call a farmer a profteer when he
can control neither the price of the
goods he buys nor the crop he sells"
The South is fortunate in having g
man to put matters up so forcefully
and so truthfully to the Federal Re-
serve Board and we cannot doubt that
the most powerful agitation that has
been going on for several weeks is
going to result in great good. 1t ap-
pears that we have an academic Sec
retary of the treasury, a former col,
lege professor from Missouri, who
coldly turns the farming interests
down when they make their appeal
for aid, while the Southern banker
from Birmingham, Ala, who heads
the Federal Reserve System, has at
one time flambouyantly stated that
the Reserve Board would not help
the farmers to hold for higher
prices and at other times he says
there is plenty of money to be had
for the orderly marketing of the crop.
The truth about it is that neither the
secretary of the treasury nor the Fed
eral Reserve Board has any idea of
helping the farmers unless they are
compelled to do so.

THE BIG BUSINESS
OF EDUCATION

Education is the nations biggest
business for according to recent rec
ords, almost one-fourth of the coun-
try's population is turning to the
work of education as pupil or teach
er.
Such big business is not the con-
Germ of pupils and teachers alone; it
is for every man and woman in the
country, lawyer and seamstress, groc-
er and housewife, it is yours and
mine. Coming down to concrete facts,
what can the average farmers wife
do to make the school better? She can
call meeting of the woman's club to
consider school needs. This can ap-
point committees and individuals to
do what is necessary.
Some of the work that will be
found necessary in many schools is:
Q To repair cold, drafty, poor
zoos so as to prevent lite feet
from suffering.
(2) Ventilate so that hot, draftless
upper air will not stunt brains and
devitalize the blood.
(3) Rooms that are dark should be
given more windows.
(4) Windows wrongly placed re-
luire proper shades to prevent glare.
(5) Encourage beauty.
(6) Music of all kinds should be
encouraged.
CD Provide for hot lunches.
(S) Boarding places for teachers
'hauld be arranged in advance.

THE CAUSE Of VEVOLlTION.

Az "a usual thing all men are law abiding and
respectful towards constituted authority until

most men revert to primitive emotions.
There are two forms OF hungcr--food hunger
and land hunger. And history shows that each
is deadly In Its own way to orderly government.

Mexican debacle. Precisely the same idea bot
toned the Russian debacle

States. The tenant class cannot 40 on increasing z
