CUTTING PRICE


Beaumont, Texas, Sept 1S.-The
Southern Rice Growers association,
which recently came into public NO
tice through cutting the price on
rice, II composed Of approximately
$500 farmers of Texas, Louisiana
and Arkansas. It will handle this
year. according to estimate BY its
general-manager, between 5000, 900
and 1000, 900 barrels Of rice.
In Texas there are about one
thousand one hundred members
growing 100000 acres Of rice, in
Louisiana 1900 members growing
2S0, 900 acres and in Arkansas 500
members growing 120, 900 acres. The
association does not include men,
befs along the Mississippi river in
Louisiana and the California grow
ers, which maintain separate or
CARNATIONS. General Manager E.
A. Eignus OF the association says
that about Is per cent Of the rice
acreage In the three states covered
by the association is under the jur-
tsdfction Of the association.
The rice growers association y a
strictly marketing organization. 1t
does not put out propaganda for
rice, said MIR. Eignus. Its pur-
pose is to get for the rice grower a
fair share Of the price that rice
commands on the market which

The association was formed In
1910 but did not get into full work

to get the association in working
order as it is not organized fol

clares no dividends.
| The association maintains 80 sui
Offices throughout the district, has
140 expert rice men in its service
and owns 60 automobiles for the
associations own use, Mr.. Eignui
said. 1t buys nothing for the Id. NJ
ers and sells nothing to the farm

THE GROUCHY WEST AND SOUTH

Senator Harding during a trip through the South and West found everybody with grouch." The peo- pie he met were opposed to prohibit ton and to excess taxation; and the sensitive ear which as q republican aspirant to the presidency. he is ap- plying to the ground detected rambs lings against the league of nations.
 No doubt there are particular causes of popular discontent. such is the desire for "a square dcel on drinks" though as respects excess taxes, that is matter of chief con cern to the North and East. But the fundamental causefof any grouc|lNyyh the part of tthc people of sthc Vest and South is1their prosperity. Their lands are flowing with milk and honey, and the lesser worries of their lean years have been succeeded by tAe vocation of affluence. Ere the

Berlin Feeling Against Baltic
 Troops Bitter

Berlin, March 20.--Stormy incl dents are expected when the sational assembly takes up the question of amnesty for the leaders of the reac- tionary revolters in the government. Public sentiment here is bitter against the Baltic troops, and propos- al sto grant pardon to the revolution ists are certain to be opposed.
 Government officials who have talked with newspaper men assert no amnesty agreement was reached be- tween the Wolfgang Kapists before they left Berlin, but their asser- tions are contradicted by followers of the usurping chancellor.
 Reorganization of the Ebert cab inet will bring half a dozen new men into the ministry, it is said, but so liberals and conservists will be represented. These two organi- cations have decided to await the re- suit of the elections in July before entering into the government.

British Resent the Passage of
 Irish Measure

Liverpool, March 20.-The Daily Post. commenting editorially on the action of the United States senate in passing a resolution to the peace treaty that it would welcome the time when Ireland had obtained it's self government, says:
 "The American senate has surely overstepped the bounds of good sense, to say nothing of good tact, in adopt ing a resolution to the peace treaty On Ireland. It has as much as said it will welcome the emergency. That is hardly neighborly. Moreover it is an example of the kind of interna- tonal meddling which the senate professes to cosdemn in the coven- ant of the league of nations.
 ."All sensible Britons know, of course that such resolutions are not to be taken too seriously
 "Unhappily there are historical patriots among us who may be easily worked up by certain interested mat ters and speakers to resentmest of American interferences with it's purely British affairs"

PAY FOR TEACHERS.

It is to be hoped that as President k. A. Howell of the school board pre- diets, the salaries of school teachers will be increased by next year. The teachers deserve more pay. Unless there is sudden drop in the cost of living, they will be unable tc make both ends meet unless they get i:. 1t is hard road for man and his family to get along on s20o per month the top salary for teachers, even if the pay check arrived 12 times a year. But $200 per month is only $500 per year when the check comes around nine times.
 Women teachers who draw $7b pc. month at the end of the school year have received $675. Unless they are residents and are able to live with. out cost to them with their parents, or unless they have other sources of income, they cannot make the grade. The. salaries that range between s35 and $200sar equally inadequate. The three months. of idleness in nine cas- es out of ten makes is barely pos sible for the teachers to pull through the year. It is true that the board is faced with financial difficulties in increasing these salaries They have difficulty in giving any other answer but "No" to requests for in creased pay, but unless something is done, the board will be in worse difficulties than it is now. It is possible to raise the money by public subscription. Yet this way is not to be desired. Taxation is bet ter way, but the legislation requires time. The teachers deserve mo.e money. They ought to have more money because they deserve it and not because they are likely to quit and leave the board with scarcity of teachers. It is shame that those , people who are charged with the edu. cation of our children should be paid scarcely enough to enable them to live.

 Perhaps the best remedy for this rebellious state of mind is trip to the East. If grouchy visitors from the West and South will sample the city cost of living fer few weeks interview tenants about rents, inquire into the income tax re- turn of residents and investigate other conditions in the 'enemv's country" perhaps they viii become better satisfied with their own lot.
