The Grocerteria believes that quick turning stocks reduce
the selling cost and therefore leave larger net profits than slow
moving stocks on which there might be greater profits per sale.
Fast turnover is the active job for an active dollar. Only
an occasional turn over is the lazy dollar on a sleepy job. The
Grocerteria wants to sell as it believes that goods which remain
on the shelves and in the ware rooms are profit eaters.

HOUSTON PLANS
DEMONST RAT IONS
To SAVE FARMS
Much Terracing. Should he Done in
County, He Says; Annual Loss
From Erosion Runs Into
Millions

Several community terracing dem
onstrations in Grady county are be
ing planned by A. f. Houston, the
3unty agricultural agent.
In announcing these plans, Mr.
Houston pointed to data showing
that many Grady county farms are
depreciating in value as a result Of
erosion This loss, which runs well
into millions, can be prevented by
terracing, the county agent declares.
Dates and places of the communi
ty terracing demonstrations planned
by Mr. Houston have not been defin-
ltely determined. Speaking Of the
necessity of terracing in Grady coun
ty, the county agent said
"a few well-constructed terraces
on each hillside will prevent the
soil washing and conserve tie winter
rain for summer crops It is essen
tial that the terraces be construct
ed while the soil is productive and
free from deep canyons.
"The older states have done ex-
tensive terracing in recert years,
but not until the soil was impover-
iched, making it necessar5' TO add
illa soil after tho = 'u:tion OF
the terraces.
1.-TWO men with four head Of iar;es
or horses can average terracing ten
acres daily; no additional machinery
is necessary for this.
"a few demonstrations of correct
terracing this winter and spring will
pen the way for some real effec
i've work in this line next fall and
winter"
Mr.. Houston requests that rural
teachers and community leaders Sc
lect a satisfactory place and make
arrangements for a terracing dem
onstration in their respective COM
munities.

Hinted In Administration Circles
White House May Submit Pact
With Special Message on
Foreign Matters
INITIATION CONFLICTS
WITH FIRST REPORTS
No Reference to Treaty Fight II
Annual Message but Nations
Chief Contents Self with
Confession of Faith
BY Unltod Press.

|
Washington, Dec. S.-That Presi'
dent Wilson is considering resubmit
ting the peace treaty to the senate,
sending with it. special message
on the subject of Americas foreign
relations was the intimation comihg
today from administration quarters.
The information that this course
might be taken by the White House
came from officials who yesterday
declared that the president was not
contemplating such step. The
president made no reference to the
treaty in his annual message to
congress-
Nowhere in his message did the
president refer directly to the league
Of nations or the peace treaty fight
except perhaps by interference in
his opening when he quoted Abra-
ham Lincoln's Let us have faith
that right makes might, and in tlat
faith let us dare to do our duty as
we understand it"
AT its close the president wrote Il
paragraph which might be regarded
rs a valedictory, saying:
81 have not so much laid be-
fore you a series of recommen-
dations, as sought to utter con-
fession of faith, Of the faith to
stand by until my last fighting
day. believe this to be the
faith of the future and present
and all of the victories which
await rational action in the days
to come, whether in America or
elsewhere"
Democracy, the president said, SIS
being put upon its final trial"
"The old world said he, "is just
now suffering from a wanton rejec-
ton of the principle of democracy
and substitution of the principle
Of aUtocracy as asserted in the name.
but without the authority and sane
tion Of the multitude. This is the
time of all others when democracy
should prove its purity and IS
spiritual power to prevail. 1t is sure
y the manifest destiny of the United
States to lead in the attempt to
make this spirit prevail"

EMBARGO LIFTED
FROM COMPRESS
IS ADVICE HERE
Press Taxed to Capacity Since Oc-
tober; Little Movement Shown
Cotton in Field Go Un-
pick is Belief

Cotton is again being received at
the local compress, an embargo
which has been almost perpetual
during the past two months having
been lifted.
The compress has been taxed to
capacity since the middle of October
and only small amount of cotton
has been received. This condition.
according to L. Peery, manager OF
the compress. is a result of the cot
ton market conditions in view Of
which little cotton has been shipped
out of this city.
That only three-fourths of the
county's cotton crop has been har-
vested and ginned is the belief OF
A. II. Houston, county agricultural
agent. Since the recent rains and
cold weather will hamper the pick
ing OF cotton. Mr. Houston believes
that bulk of the fleecy product
now in the field never VIII be har
vested but will be used as pastures

Marion, Ohio, Dec. S.--The policies
which will guide the national govern
ment during the Harding admins
tration are now being formulated
here.
The president-elect, who has ar
rived at his home here, following
his vacation trip to Point Isabel.
Texas, and the Panama Canal Zone.
is facing a long siege Of work pre-.
paratory to taking over the admin
istrative reins on March 4.
The program confronting Mr..
Harding includes conferences with
the nations political leaders with
regard to the selection Of his cabi.
net, mapping out scheme of inter-
national relations and the drafting
OF a legislation program.
The first of the proposed confer
ences with the nations "best minds"
is scheduled to be held next week.
II is understood that Herbert Hoover
viii be among the first to be con
suited in regard to information mat
ters. Mr. Hoover has let it be
known that he will urge the speedy
ratification of the peace treaty
with Article Ten Of the covenant of
the League OF Nations eliminated. He
believes that the ratification of thu
treaty is necessary in order to aid
in the restoration OF normal business
conditions and will press the point
of view.
Tha presdent.elect has stated
that no cabinet selections have been
definitely decided upon and no ap-
pointment has been offered to any
body. 1t is generally believed that
the state portfolio will be rendered
to Senator Knox. Senator Suther-
land, Col Dougherty, Mr.. Harding's
campaign manager, Gen. Wood and
others are named among the cabinet
possibilities.
Mr.. Harding has let it be known
that he will call an extra session
of congress early in his administra-
tion but the exact date has not been
decided. A settlement Of interna-
tional policies will be first among
the matters engaging the attention
Of tle president and senate and
large legislative program will be
undertaken. During the coming
weeks Marion will be the Mecca &C
Republican party leaders, called
here to consult with the president
elect, and it is understood that
some of the opposition party leaders
may participate in the series of con
ferences.
Mr.. Harding will resign his seat
in the senate before the middle Of
January and in the meantime he is
not expected to devote any attention
to his senatorial duties but will col.
fine his efforts to getting ready fnr
the work which will confront hlm
when he enters the White House.
