COTTON SPECTATORS
PLANNING TO TAKE
SOUTH'S MONEY CROP

The State Department of Ag-
riculture believes active steps
should be taken now to overcome
the usual fall bear raid on cotton,
which always develops about the
time the new crop is coming on
the market. Speaking on that
subject Commissioner J. J.
Brown said:
Bear spectators are now sell
ing cotton futures many hundred
points below the spot market, in
an effort to break down the latter
just about the time preparations
are being made for marketing
the new crop. This effort stresses
more than ever the necessity for
warehousing facilities und e r
which there may be issued gilt
edged certificates which could
be used in financing the new
crop.
1--WE must finance the new
crop, at least to the best of our
ability, until a price is reached
which will give the farmer a fair
margin of profit above the cost
of production. 1t is the only way
to check the bear spectators
who are selling millions of bales
short in their desperate effort to
break the market.
Il am convinced that if we had
a system OF bonded warehouses
such as is now being urged thru
the State Bureau OF Markets in
conjunction with the federal gov
eminent, we would have no diff
hculty in protecting ourselves.
This plan is worthy the careful
consideration and cooperation OF
every wideawake farmer and bus
mess man in Georgia.
If the producers of cotton
will show to the world once more
that they are capable of financing
and pricing their own cotton,
they will have solved the ques-
ton OF the distribution and mar
keting OF the South's great crop,
IN way to bring the farmer a
tair margin of profit for many
years to come. The Cotton
5 TIA e Advisory Marketing
Board and the American Cotton
Association are now doing all
within their power to assist the
South along these very lines"

lndIan ls Model Soldier.

Accusations that he was q German
spy caused ODDS Leader, Choctaw In

Leader, in war days a foreman on
a ranch near Calvin, Okla, learned
from idle rumor in his neighborhood
that he was accused Of being German
spy. He Immediately enlisted and in
the course of brilliant war record
was cited for bravery. During the en-
gagement for which he was cited he
captured two machine guns and 1S
prisoners, manning a machine gun for
three days after the remainder of his
crew had been killed Dowarreux, the

ARE CORPORATIONS
GOING ON STRIKE

The news dispatches inform
us of the lay off of tens of thou
sands OF employees in factories

North for the past few weeks,
and more lay offs are threatened.
With the claimed under-produc-
ton in manufactured articles
given as reason for the high
cost of commodities, and the
claimed congestion on the rail-
ways, because as asserted; labor
has failed to keep pace with the
demand for new equipment and
consequent shortage of cars and
motive power, the strike of cor

not coincide with their forme,

unions and utilized to gouge the

former cry was that production
failed to keep pace with con-
sumption and therefore clothing
reached an unheard of price, now

the Wooden corporations, so that
their former prices may be main,
tanned regardless of the need of

WILSON ADMINISTRATION
RECORD UNEQUALLEDs
IN ACHIEVEMENTS

The Democratic party does not
have to resort to hot air, and
fine talk, to prove its service. 1t
simply points to things actually
done.
The list of constructive meas
ures of epoch making character
enacted by the Democratic adj
ministration is a long one. 1t is
rare that so much is done in the
term of any one president.
1t used to be characteristic of
Republican Congress, that they
would get together and talk and
talk, and fill the Congressional
Record with mountain of very
eloquent speeches. Then they
would go home without having
solved any of the big problems of
the country.
The Democratic Congresses
were led by men who felt keenly
the evils from which the country
was suffering. Defying all crit
icism, they stuck to it until they
enacted great body of construc-
tive legislation,
Prominent mong tn e r
achievements were the federal
reserve act, which ended the fin
ancial panlcs that came regularly
under Republican administra-
tons this act carried the country
safely through the great war; the
tariff law, which cut down the
privileges granted to favored in
terests to tax the people unjustly,
and admitted fair competition
which must tend to keep prices
on normal basis; revision of
the system of taxation, placing
the chief burden of the war and
of the government on great for
tunes and war profits; the farm
loan act, taking a long step
toward developing agricultural
production; establishment of the
Federal Trade Commission which
has rendered signal service in
protecting the people against cor
porate aggression.
Federal aid for Rural schools,
through the mith-Hughes fund
and federal aid for roads and
bridges, are the benefits from
which every one shares, whether
he rides in automobiles, ox-cartS,
or walks along the highways.
These are but a few of the acts
of the Democratic administra-
ton. The list would have been
much farther extended, had not
the election-of a Republican Con-
gress prevented. The record of
statespanlike measures passed
for relief of the people is greater
than can be shown in any pre-
vious administration.

lation, passed and put into oper-

WEAR BELLS ON THEIR TOES
Men Of Dakar, French West Africa,
Also Garry Surprising Assortment
Of Other Trinkets.

Men Of Dakar, the seat of French
West African administration, literally
wear rings on their fingers and bells
on their toes, not to mention amulets,
beads, coins and surprising assert
ment of trinkets, mostly regarded as
charms. The natives, however. are
not to be regarded as savage, except In
their ability to fight.
OF the West African tribes, the Ber-
bers are believed by some experts to
have been at one time masters of the
Mediterranean. They have many times
been conquered and driven out of
their homesteads, but always main
tain their racial identity, their physi-
cal characteristics and a persistent
love of freedom.
The Berber women have fought by
: their husbands sides, and their moral
ity Is of high character. In Dakar
can also be seen the Serers, a tribe
of natives that worship the snake and
believe in the transmigration of souls.
A height of six feet and six inches
is not uncommon among the men of
the Serers.
Among the most intelligent of the
natives are the Fulahs, whose folk
tales betray lofty ideals and poetic
imaginary that is comparable with
early, Greek and Morse lore. Their
horsemanship is famous, and their
cavalry is noted for daring and valor.
The intelligence of their women and
the respect accorded them is attested
by the proverb: let female slave
enter household and she soon be-
comes mistress"

why RACES ARE DIFFERENT
Men OF Science Say Physical Peculiar
tiles May Be Accounted for by
Functional arrangements.

Discussing the differences that dis
tinguish the Anglo-Saxon from the
Chinese, or the negro. Prof. Arthur
Keith recently explained that the key
to the problem is to be found through
studying the disturbances and disor-
ders that occasionally affect the
development and growth of the human
body, especially those due TO a func-
tional arrangement of one or more OF
the glands of internal secretion-the
pituitary, thyroid, adrenal and other
glands. In some, manner not yet un.
derstood, the functions carried on in
these glands regulate not only the d.
mansions of the body, but also the
shape and size Of each Individual part.
The racial features of the Mon
goliap type are initiated by growing
Europeans who are affected by def
cheney disorders of the thyroid gland.
The features of the negro can best
be accounted for by the nature of the
growth-regulating mechanism conferred
in the thyroid and suprarenal glands.
European features are connected with
a dominance in the functions of the
pituitary.
Scientists hope that a thorough
study of the still rery obscure subject
of the so-called "ductless" glands will
provide the means of regulating, tc
some extent the future evolution of
the human race.
