 WASHINGTON, Oct. ,. - Partial, Responsibility for high prices was laid today on the trade practice of manufacturers guarantee against price decline by those who protest ed against the custom at hearings before the federal trade commission. More than 2JO spokesmen for busi- ness interests were present to ad7 wise with the commission in formu- lating a policy.
 Prices Wese Kept Up
 The statement that prices would have gone down socn after the ar mistice in many lines had the price guarantee practice veen unknown in commerce, was brought out in an- sver to questions by Chairman Mur' dock who asked for opinions on that phase. Without exception opponents of the system declared their belief had been confirmed by breaks in commodities where the practice was not employed They cised the sugar aud silk markets as typical

Recent Ruling of Treasury Official Will Mean Big Saving to Income Tax
 Payers Throughout State of Arizona

A recent ruling of the treasury de- partment that will mean big saving to many income tax payers in Ari- zona, has been received by the Bank of Bisbee. The ruling affects those states in which d community property law exists. of which Arizona is one. Under this ruling husband and wife may make separate returns for in derived from community propertyshr come tax purposes, on all incomes de- rived from community property.
 As an example of the big saving that will be affected in many cases, man who formerly paid Is per cent on his income, by splitting this in- come between himself and wife and making separate returns, will pay s per cent on each return, or d total of Is per cent.

State Democratic Candidates Open Campaign in Yuma
Especial to The Review)

NSpeclal to ln6 ReVleWb
 YUMA. Oct. 5.-The opening. gun of the Democratic state campaign, was fired in Yuma county Monday with big midday meeting in Gadsl den, another meeting in Somerton, at three o'clock, and then a meeting in the Yuma theatre Monday night.
 Congressman Carl Hayden, Nit Simms for governor, Wiley E. Jones for attorney general R. R. Earhart for state treasurer, and E. A. Hughes for tax commissioner, were the speakers.
 They were enthusiastically re- . received throughout the county, the meeting in Yuma being one of the largest political gatherings ever held here.
 The two principal speeches were made by Congressman Hayden and Attorney General Jones. The for mer discussed national issues, pre-, dieting the election of Cox and Roosevelt and the triumphant re- election Of Senator Mark Smith. Attorney General Jones literally flayed Governor Campbell on his state land board record. greatly to the delight of the big audience, many of whom were former adher- ents of the governor.
 Nit Simms and Senator Mulford Winsor, his primary opponent, spent much time together. Winsor promis, ing his most loyal and cordial SUD- port, not only for Simms, but for the entire ticket.
 All of the distinguished visitors made a most favorable impression and it is freely admitted that the en 1 tire Democratic ticket will sweep Yuma county by anywhere from fir teen hundred to two thousand ma l jority.
 The great register shows three | thousand Democrats to less than eight hundred Republicans since the primary election. An even hundred voters have put their names on the j great register, every one of which is recorded as a Democrat, probably the most remarkable registration T ever shown in any county in the state. which very plainly shows the trend of political opinions Yuma county.

IF ABILITY is IN YOU, GET II
OUT
BY JOHN BLAKE

The young man looks at his more sue
cessful fellows, and wonders why they sue
coed.
81 have more ability than they have" he
tells himself. "Yet they are drawing good
salaries, and 1 have hard work to hold
job. This is mighty unfair world"
1t very often happens that this contention
is perfectly true. Often men of very con-
siderable ability fail where those with less
ability succeed.
But they fail because they do not use
their great ability Ut all, while the others
use their little ability to the very limit.
There are many actors and writer's, and
painters of small ability who become real
successes, merely because recognizing that
their talent is not great they determine to
make the best use of it.
They are envied and hated by men of
more ability, who think the mere possess
sion OF ability ought to count. But the pos
session OF ability ill no more make man
ccessful than the presence of gold in
quartz will make the quartz saleable The
quartz must be milled to get out the gold
Ihe human quartz must be worked to get
the ability where it is available
If you thing you have ability you have
ten times as much incentive for hard work
as the man who hasn't any. rich mine
is certainly better worth working than a
mine that contains nothing but low grade
ore.
The people who have made themselves
who have not only had talent, but the in
dustry to develop their talent.
II you have any ability in you, get it out.
Bring it to the surface where others can
see it. Use it for the benefit of others.
Until you do that, you can never con-
vince them that you have it. The way to
find out whether you have ability or not
is to look for it. Find out what you like to
.. and try to do it: 1t won't be easy at
first, but it will come easier as you 60 along.
Then if you find that there are some things
you can do better than others, put in all
your time and all your effort doing them.
Make every atom of talent count. Many
men who their friends believed to be very
ordinary, by sheer hard work have put them
selves high in the ranks of the useful and
successful people in the country. Don't be
Jealous of them. Don't think it is luck that
has raised them while it has kept you
Initiate them. Get your own ability out
of hiding. if it is there. Use it, and you
will prosper, too. And even if you find
you have no special ability, you will have
lost nothing. For even mediocrity which is
industrious and ambitious will get man q
pretty good rating in this world

YOUR GROUCHINESS
BY H. Arlington Bruce

BY H. Arlington Bruce
~ IGURE It out, brother.
r. Everybody is crooked. Every man
= has his price. Graft and grab are the
great determining principles Of life.
Business men, without exception, are prof
iteers. Workingmen bar none, are lazy and
dishonest.
Nobody will tell the truth. Kindness and
sympathy are to be found nowhere. The
world is absolutely out of joint, the worst
Of all possible worlds.
So you say. But
Common sense tells you that you are abb
surdly foolish to talk this way. Your own
everyday experiences give the lie to this
grabbed, cynical attitude toward life and
your fellow man.
Figure it out.
The reason for your grouchiness is far
more likely to be found in yourself than in
the world around you. Nay, you must admit
that 1t is certain to bS< found in yourself
since most people living in precisely the same
world have not a whit of a pessimistic SEN
timents you habitually entertain.
Other people, you may protest, are more
fortunately situated than you. They are in
better health, for one thing. You are, in
deed, willing to concedo that the state of
your health may be the real cause Of your
perpetually nursing crouch.
You suffer much from dyspepsia. You have
frequent headaches. You tire easily. You
suspect that you may be victim of eye
strain. And you know that your teeth are
in pretty poor shade.
Well, then, go to dentist, go to an ocu-
list and give doctor a chance to help you
back to robust health. 1t is undoubtedly
easier to see life rosily when one is well
than when one is ILL.,
Only, brother
Just remember that thousands of people
in much poorer health than you display none
of the grouchiness in which you revel. There
must be at work, after all, some other, some
deeper, cause .-'
Figure it out.
And perhaps it will help you to figure it
out If you ponder these words by an I'M
commonly keen observer of the ways of men
Suppose the chronic crouch who is al
ways finding fault with everything and every
body should realize that he is only advertis-
ing his own incompetence. See what differ
ence it would make to him-how he would
restrain his complaints and have the energy
he would otherwise dissipate available for
use on his job. L
'"This would Increase his efficiency, make
him more successful, and thus end the occa-
sion for the Crouch"
Honestly, now, doesn't this explain your
own grouchiness?
Figure it out.

Alas, for Piracy!

y1RILY it seems that the modern world
ASfoes move in unromantic groove. Even
piracy, that unlawful but picturesque
pursuit of century or two ago, wnere it
crops up in these prosy tines is shorn of the
small boys and to some of their ilde-5 who re-
: joice in vicarious crime.
The dispatches tell us that the Soviet
schooner Alaska, with Bolshevist crew and
the Bolshevist fla; flying at its masthead, has
arrived in Seattle with the tale of a pirate
ship encountered on the deep seas, of coast
wise raids by the buccaneers, of murder,
plumber and hair-breadth escapes.
Time was VIXEN such description would
have conjured of visions of south sea isle,
waving palm trees, scorchng skies and low
lying black barque at anchor in secret cove,
while ruffians clad in nought Lus pantaloons
and high boots Crimson handkerchiefs about
their brows cut asses and pistols, reveled in
rum on the beach, in the midst of their bars
of gold and silver.
But the twentieth century pirate bellies
this description. He was seen-in the shad-
, oW OLA glacier in Boring Sea-. His raids
were4non the coast cities of Alaska and ST.
beria And the thing he stole Was-coal!
What collapse nave we mere IN all the
best traditions of piracy Assuredly Captain
Kidd and Blackboard would turn over in
their graves at the knowledge OF it. Kidd
could never have buried his doubloons in an
iceberg, and even the ferocious Blackboard
would have hestated at walking victim off
the plank into the icy waters of the Arctic.
Perhaps their degenerate descendants find hot
noggins of rum most warming in their chilly
cIime They may even follow, as practice
to inspire comfort as well fear, Black
boards habit of firing the ends of his NOUS
tache But if ever they hope to go down in
volumes that viii preserve their fame, to the
boys of posterity, they will do well to change
the scene of their activities to tropical
and more romantic setting, and to plumber
something else than coal-yard.

:. .Mou1tr;e Looks Ahead

rrRUE to its progressive record, Moul-
rss,,t rie is taking stock of the coming
Ay years opportunities and purposing to
make the most of them Partic llarly nota-
BILE is the movement of it's business and
civic leaders to encourage building. Ac-
cording to The Journals correspondent, at
least two hundred moderate priced houses
are needed there and be prospect is that all
could be sold or leased by the time they could
be finished. Seeing that the prices of ma
terials and other important factors will be
favorable to construction work after the
holidays, Moultrie capital expresses itself as
ready to aid such enterprises Gin so far as is
consistent with sound banking principles"
This is the spirit the+ makes communities
and commonwealths truly prosperous. A
year or so hence many persons and many
towns will look back to the season of more
or less anxious waiting in which we now are
involved and will see all manner of fertile
opportunities. But the wise and the fortu-
nate ARE they who discern those opportuni-
ties while they are available and grasp them,
1t may take faith and courage to do so, but
nothing worth while is ever done withou<
courage and faith. Every town in Georgia
has field of development to which it
can profitably turn its energies in the new
year.

A Population Of 427,679,214

"1HIS was census taking year IN emma
as we'll as in the United States. Ac-
30 cording to the figures given out at
Pekin, the Celestial Emperor must we
now say Celestial Republic?-exceeds us In
population almost as we exceed the greatest
of our Latin-American neighbors. Four hum
bred and tWenty-seven million six hundred
and seyenty-nine thousand two hundred and
fourteen inhabitants dwell in the Chinese
homeland-a number unparalleled or I'M
APPROACHED by any other nationality.
Westerners have been wont to regard emma S
census as heightened and colored by Oriental
iraagination. Her manner of enumeratlng IS
so unique that malapert American official
described it not long ago as exhibiting com
plete ignorance of the methods now nearly
universally employed" albeit he was con-
strained to admit that they did throw con-
siderable light on the question of popula-
tion.',p Whereupon Pekin scholar quietly
remarked that they mad discarded a system
even then better than ours" Interestingly
enough, a comparison of the latest census
with counts made ten years ago by two diff
ferent branches of the Government in China
appear to indicate that the present reckoning
Is not extravagant.
But suppose we reduce it by hundreds of
thousands, suppose reduce it by mil
lion. Still the vastness of the Chinese popu-
lation stands as one of the outlooming facts
In the life and commerce of the world. What
markets will open and expand as those mil
lions of people develop tastes and needs for
the products Of the civilization into which
they are more and more extensively enter
ingi And what a power for stability and
good they will prove if to their native in
tegrity sis added the leaven of Christian
ideals!

More Effective for Peace
Than Reducing Armament

/tNSG A<C~NS|SIS 4" "I%"SSHSS
N UGH interesting comment, some of it
| IV gently satirical, has been called
| forth by the suggestion at the &C.
neva meeting of the League of Nations that
henceforth the manufacture of munitions and
engines of war be taken out Of the hands of
private interests and confined TO Government
plants. The author of the idea argues for
| it's adoption mainly upon the ground that
thus the equipment Of the filibustering ex-
petitions would be prevented, since only the
economically established nations could af-
ford the cost Of manufacturing their weapons.
The consequence, he thinks, would be to
spare the world many petty revolution and
| minor war, and thereby keep down the
sparks from which, sometimes, vast confla-
grations come.
This, however, is not the most cogent rea-
son that can be mustered for the Geneva sug-
gestion. That ever resourceful correspond
ent, Mr.. William Ivy, who writes, from Paris
The Journals European News and Views"
doubts that inability to procure guns and
munitions would in itself keep the little,
local wIr-makers quiet; they will fight just
as Justify, he imagines, with knives or even
with stone hatchets. But, he adds, "the big
point. thus far overlooked, is that If all ar
maments are henceforth manufactured by
governments it will take months to get the
ing of carload of shells, and when the
shells are finally ready they will either not
fit the gun or else they will fail to explode.
If Europe. in order to have another war,
had to wait until three or four leading gov
ernments with their respective bureaucracfes
got the material made in government work
shops, the war would be so long postponed
that very likely the causes of it would have
disappeared"
Giant munition makers like the Krupps
have been blamed not infrequently for the
belligerent attitudes of their respective ma
lions, and even have been accused of con-
spring to precipitate great conflicts. But
it is easier to suspect such evil than to prove
it. Armament plants, whether privately or
publicly owned. symptoms of national
and international states Of mind-fear jeal-
ousy. ambition. hate: or, it may be. simple
prudence In any case, It is vastly more
important to promote good understanding
and good will among nations than merely to
prescribe reduced proportions and new terms
of ownership-for their gun and powder fac
tories,~ The latter will take care of itself If
the former is duly minded-though by no
means should the indirect helpfulness of gen.
eral reduction of armament be minimized
The worst enemies Of peace today are those
who endeavor to kindle distrust or hatred of
one people against another, and those WHO
sheer at honest efforts for international
friendship and co-working.

BLUE LAWS
BV DR.. Frank Crane

The whole Blue Law talk arises from a
certain confusion of mind.
Unfortunately people think in terms of
mob mania.
The present furry is due to the popular
misconception, on both sides, of Why Prohi-
The Reformers think they brought it on,
which belief is also held by the VETS
The Reformers flatter themselves, and the
Vets don't understand.
Never in this world could a group of re-
ligiOus enthusiasts either cow or cozen both
houses of congress and the legislatures of
two-th1rds of the states into voting for some
thing they we're sure their constituents did
not want. Such absurdity needs no arguing
The guilty parties who brought Prohibi-
ton to pass are:
Cd The Scientists, who dug up the nasty
facts in the case. showing that the benefit
from alcohol was at best problematical az
occasional, and the injury from it universal
certain and appalling.
Of course alcohol got linked up with ira
dition, sentiment joviality and lot of pre-
cious companions, but Science is cruel, off
came the mask Ind the disguised enemy
had to go.
CD Life Insurance Companies. You could
not fool them. They had too much money
invested in the law of averages of human life.
They spoke only in statistics, but these were
eloquent.
60 The Men of Business. After all Amer
lea is primarily Business Institution. Booze
spoiled business. 1t honeycombed efficiency
1t crippled production. 1t made unrest and
agitation doubly dangerous. so one by one
great railway companies, manufacturing con-
Germs and business houses lined up against it,
"a The Women. Average, decent, hon
est and serious-minded American women
never liked the stuff.
60 The War. When it came to concen-
trating four million young men in camps and
getting them into shape to fight the best
trained enemy troops in the world, the booze
issue became acute. Things were too criti-
cal to take any chances on not winning Exit
BOOZE And we won.
And it was only because the gifted Re-
formers had this tremendous platform to
stand on that they succeeded.
Of course, no such platform and prepare
ton exists in the case of Sunday laws, to-
bacco and seven-up.
, They are harmful, compared to alcohol, as
flea-bite is compared to rattlesnake.
The Reverend Mr.. Bowlby ct al. will rattle
around bit and then subside.
It is all brass band they have no troops
like the five regiments above mentioned)

tanism.
Neither is it going back into Alcoholism.

Hancock County S Wise Steb
7 HANCOCK county is highly fortunate in

HANCOCK county is highly fortunate in
having Farm Bureau that sees
oncoming needs and prepares to meet
them. That organization has voted unani-
mously to establish at Sparta, the county
seat, market for butter, eggs, poultry and
other food products from the farms of the
adjacent territory, and also to build large
sweet potato curing plant in time to care
for next seasons crop. These steps are to be
taken in order that farmers who produce
commodities other than cotton may not lack
adequate means of converting them into CO
at fair prices, or storing them until gen.
eral conditions are favorable for selling.
No more useful or more seasouable linz
of service can be undertaken by those seek
ing to conserve and promote Georgia's
prosperity for the coming twelvemonth.
Never was it more needful that facilities be
provided for the profitable marketing Of
food crops. Unless all present omens fail,
the year 1921 will witness a marked reduc-
ton in the cotton acreage; hundreds of
planters will be compelled to adopt that
policy, and hundreds will do so from choice.
1t may De expected, then, that vast deal
of new energy will be given to raising food
crops and food animals procedure that
will rebound to the States richest welfare,
provided there are ample accommodations
for handling these products when they are
ready to be sold.
The Hancock County Farm Bureau, like
other forward-thinking organizations of it's
purpose, is preparing for those harvest days
betimes. The result will be not only to en-
courage food production but also to stimu-
late business and to speed the coming of
Bile, well rounded prosperity.
