Swallowed Watch
Didn't Lose a Minute

DAWSON, Jan. pa Terrell
county young lady who is a nurse in
sanitarium at Montgomery writes
a relative of IN unusual surgical op-
Grafton upon a five year old child
who had swallowed a gentleman's
watch. The time-piece was located
by means of an X-Ray in the lower
part of the abdomen, which it was
necessary to open in order to relieve
the patient. When the watch was
removed it was ticking and had the
correct time. The child is doing well
and steadily recovering from the oper-
alton.

The Government has just is-

serious status of the electric rail
ways of the country. The com
mission was appointed because
the Government knew that the
electric railways could not con-
tinue to operate unless allowed to
charge enough to pay cost OF
service. But it is not recorded
that the Government has ap-
pointed any commission to rec
ommend measures Of relief for the
cattle industry, or the wool IN
dustry, or the cotton dustry,
when they, as a result of Govern
ment pressure, find that their
service does not command cost OF

wild effort by the Government to
lower cost Of transportation, or
cost of public-utility service, or
cost of insurance-and very WISE

Many of our citizens whom
have had houses to rent are very
outspoken with their past ex-
perience that the investment did
not pay. In this they are not
making statements that can be
contradicted, because the rents
were entirely too low. A rental
value must be placed on every
house that will net to the owner
at least eight per cent, otherwise
we cannot criticise any citizen for
declining to make more invest
ments in houses. Most of the
trouble has been that landlords
would not make the necessary inn
provements in the way of mod
ern conceniences to justify the
renter in paying accordingly.
Conditions are far different now
and modern improvements are
essential and the class of citizens
now seeking dwellings exact all

CANNING COMPANY MAKES

the delay in adjusting new ma
chinery. Notwithstanding the

started last June, some 10000
cases went through the cooking

locks THROWN AT PROFITEER HIT PRODUCER
EFFORTS TO BEAT PRICES DOWN BELOW COST OF PRODUCTION ARE
INJURING THOSE WHO CAN LEAST AFFORD IT

For months the responsible Of
ficers of the Government have
been engaged in a persistent and
consistent effort to break down
prices. They have taken it for
granted, and the country has
seemed to take it for granted, that
the supreme goal Of craftsmanship
was to lower ultimate costs.
The success of the movement
was certain to mean ruin for
thousands and severe hardship for
millions of Americans. Indeed,
the very bounty of Providence. as
Witnessed in the promise of
abundant crops, has meant woe
and anguish for those who, by the
sweat of their brow, brought
these crops to harvest. The fruit
of their labor is being taken from
them. What profteth man to
produce in abundance if abund-
ance means for him poverty, while
scarcity is the forerunner of his
well-being and prosperity?
We have no tolerance for the
profteer. He is the devil s ennis
sary, a criminal and a thief at
heart. But it does not appear
that it is against profiteers as such
that the Government has been
working. It has not sought by
any statement of facts to show
that the prices prevalent for this
product or for that product were
justified by the cost of production.
1t has simply driven promiscuous
ly against ultimate costs in gen
eral, with the products of the
farm as the chief object of as
fsault.
The citrus growers say that it
is foreign fruit, dumped into
American ports. that is running
them. The wool growers say that
Government sales and British
government sales in America
have driven the price Of native
wool to far below the cost of pro-
duction. The peanut growers
point out that they had never ex-
pected to be brought into compe-
tition with Oriental labor. But

Tt is almost time for a sensible
reconsideration of this whole
movement that is so eloquently
characterized as program for
reducing the cost of living. 1t
is about time for farmers to ask
if the profiteers cannot be cor
nered without the farmers first
being driven to the wall. 1t IS
time to ask if reducing the cost
of livin is not first and foremost
scheme to make the farmer sell
his property for less than it is
worth. Instead Of being praised,
some of the worthless in Washing
ton who are pinning medals on
themselves for their success IN
depressing prices and the nat
ional spirit should be called be-
ore high court Of justice to
answer charges of reasonable
conspiracy against the property
and well-being Of some millions OF
their fellow citizens whom they
we're supposed to represent -

the Government answers that PR
ces are going down, and rejoices.
Yes, prices are going down,
driven down by the aggregate
policy of a number of Government
agencies, controlling credit and
transportation and imports. but
what shall be said of a Govern
ment which deliberately adopts
a program devised to force It's
own citizens to sell their products
at less than cost. depriving them
not only of their legitimate profit
but subjecting them also to actual
loss? 1t is for the good OF the
worker in the city, it is said, and
cheaper living is pleasing 70 vot-
ers. but no man ever heard Of a
prosperous America unless the
farmers were prosperous. There
is work for city people when there
are farmers able to buy the things
the cities make, AMI not other
wise.
If cheapness of living is real
object of craftsmanship, let our
leaders visit Serbia or other of the
Balkan countries, or China, where
cheapness of living is usual and
entirely common. They may
learn that civilization is not the
art of keeping soul and body to-
gether, but is the art of so appor-
tioning production and creating
wealth that the cost which high
standard of living connotes can
be met. The average American
does not care so much about how
MANY dollars a living costs as to
how to get enough dollars to live
in the style he wishes. Cheap
living TOO often means cheap
country. The harder the times.
the cheaper the living. but we
have not heard of any political
party in recent years arguing for
hard times as a great desideratum.
