ATLANTA NURSE
IN POLISH ARMY
WRITES OF WAR

An Atlanta girl in Poland, former
face Ito face with warfare as 1t Is
waged by the Bolshevists and de-
clares she was never so interested
and thrilled" in her life.
She Is Miss Celia Johnson, former
ly Of North Carolina. who was a
nurse in Atlanta when the Emory
unit was organized. She went over
seas with the unit and returned to
Atlanta with them, working here as
Red Cross nurses until last April,
Poland with the Red Cross.
Miss Johnson was in Wilma, Po-
land, for several weeks, where, she
wrote under date of July 6, 1--WE are
the Polish people August, /, pro;
vided we don't have to hunt the tall
timbers in the meantime"
Her provision came true a little
sooner than she expected, for the
next letter to Atlanta friends was
II am safe" she wrote July 8.
1--WE left Wilma Friday night in a
box car Saved our baggage and, We
hope, our hospital equipment Late
mering away, but hadn't taken the
town.
Have never seen such an orderly
evacuation. Everybody and every
thing went Is quietly as If we were
just closing UP after finishing our
work. We were actively under
Polish military orders, as Warsaw
didn't know If the immediate dam
ger isn't very much the invasion of
the Bolshevists.
THE situation in Poland is quite
critical. A transport has been or
dered to wait in Danzig to take care
Of the Americans in case we have
to make getaway.
Il am to remain in Warsaw for a
few days. Will either have a hospi-
tai train assignment or work in the
new hospital to be opened here
shortly. Six nurses go to Bialstayk
tonight to help take care of the five
thousand orphan Riddles that will
come through the orphanage in the
next ten days.
There are so many interesting
things to tell you, but haven't time
to write more today. I am well and
was never so interested and thrilled
in my life before"
Miss johnson is the third nurse
from the southern division Of the
Red Cross to serve in Poland The
others were Miss Emily Porter, of
lebanon, Tenn, and Miss Emma
Wilson, of Blount City, Tenn, both

the FIGHT At CONWAY.

Conway Is village in southern
Iowa where two railroads cross. A
little town or village. The reading
public is conversant with the facts
Of a brutal fight between two farm
boys over girl which resulted In
the death Of one of the combatants Il
few lays later. The survivor will
probably be indicted by the grand
jury.
The grand jury should go farther
than the boy. 1t is related that a
crowd Of men surrounded and
chee1ed the fighting youths and pre-
vented by threats and force all ef-
forts to separate them. There is no
doub', that the rinsleaders of the mob
are we'll known; in that jerkwater
village 1t would be impossible that
they should not be known and
noted. The grand jury should deal
severely with every one Of that
SSWardly outfit that urged on the
boys to the finish and prevented law
abiding people from stopping the
desperate battle.
The fact is that the gang is guiltier
than the boy who Is charged with
granddaughter. The boy had or
thought he had cause to fight his
rival He had been CHALLENGED in
public and took up the challenge.
The gang OF loafers and toughs that
surrounded them had no impulse ex-
cept the brutal desire to see a MUIR
dero'ls fight between the two boys.
Every man jack of them should be
indicted and punished. 1t would In
all likelihood be an excellent thing
for the Conway neighborhood II q
large portion OF that gang should find
itsel, fleeing afar to escape justice
or given q year OF meditation and
hard labor to the benefit Of the state.

Canal Statement Misleading

The curiously--and mischievously
misleading statement has been
current that tho Panama canal is
now on sclfsustaining basis" the
fact being simply that in the last ifs
cal year the receipts from tolls ex-
ceeded operating expenses by con-
siderable margin. The error is. of
course, in ignoring the interest
charges upon the capital invested in
the canal property. Down to the be-
ginning of the last fiscal year, con-
gress had appropriated for that en-
terprise the sum OF S459.443, 105.99.
Much of this Is covered with bonds
at n very low rate Of interest. But
If we reckon the average interest
rate on the whole to lie per cent,
there Is a yearly charge approximate
ing s14 100000. to be met before the
canal can really be considered to be
paying its way OF course the canal
was not undertaken by our govern
ment for the sake of direct Decuniary
profit. and it is a good thing to have
constructed it even If it never pays
for itself In the dollars and cents OF
tolls collected. 1t will be we'll. how
ever. In any readjustment OF rates
which may be made. and In all the
details of administration of the great
work, to bear in mind that q favor
able balance In operating accounts
Is still very far from making the
canal self sustaining: and to give
careful thought to- the question
whether 1t Is ever to be made to pay
for itself, and. IL so. thru what
process.-Harvey's Weekly.

Three or four started, but they had
not crossed the street before the
child lost it's balance and pitched out

There was a shrek, which was
suddenly checked, as the child
stopped short in his headlong drop

round his waist. His bowls brought

sHaFf1ER's ROAD TRAFFIC BILL

Senator Shaffter, Of Wright. pro-
poses to introduce a highway traffic
bill in the next session Of the Iowa
assembly. His bill would create
| 400 foot zone along the railway right
Of ways. wherein 10 miles an hour
| would be the limit for highway We
hicles. It also would include a stop
on the part OF the public, together
with other precautionary measures,
all on the part Of the highway traffic.
Senator Shaffter's proposed bill APP
pearing so promptly after definite
plan and purpose to eliminate grade
crossings wherever possible will sug-
gest to many minds that 1t Is intend
ed as siding for legislation toward
prompt elimination Of such crossings.
There is no especial anxiety manifest
on the part of the railroads to share
the expenses that immediate aboli-
ton OF grade crossings would incur.
The movement to abolish those
danger points wherever 1t Is possible
to make the change should not be
sidetracked or diverted. It is the
true solution OF the problem. which Is
a problem only as to who shall pay
for the change and how promptly
the change shall be made. Highway
traffic has grown to such proportions
and will continue to grow so rapidly
that elimination Of the grade crossing
is the final conclusion. A law which
would command q complete stop and
a ten mile an hour passage thru
400 foot zone would be almost COM
pletely disregarded by the highway
traffic: but 1t would furnish an ex-
cellent defense for the railroad In
case of accident and 1t would put Off
the day of grade crossing abolition.
AS concerns the change from grade
to over and under crossings or to
road shifts that will dodge such
crossings there is no contrary argu-
ment exceptsthe cost OF the change
That of course will be and should
Justly be shared between the rail-
roads and the public. And that shifts
the argument to the question whether
We are more willing to spend the
money or to keep on spending human
lives.>
To say the best of it Senator
Skaters bill is merely an attempt
to meet a new condition with out of
date methods.

CUTTING UP THE FARMS.
tDes Moines Tribune.1

lpcs "OIneS tribune
Reports from the Dakotas tell OF
big increases in corn production, and
ascribe the increase to the cutting up
OF the farms formerly owned and run
by tho wheat barons."
The wheat barons" and land own
ers who hold thousands OF acres of
land and plant 1t to one crop year
after year have been an incubus.
They have made no effort to rotate
crops. There has been little thought
OF scientific farming, or OF preserving
the land.
With the cutting up OF the big
wheat farms of the Dakotas we may
expect the farmers In those states
to develop In the newt few years A
more intelligent system OF diversified
farming.

UNLOAD HIGH PRICED STUFF.

Strange as 1t may seem in these
times Of slack employment in a great
city the managers Of Carson Pierre
Scott & Co. and Of the J. F. Stevens
Company. large dry goods merchants
OF Chicago, claim that by cutting
prices and putting on genuine stock
Reduction sales they increased their
November volume OF sales beyond all
previous records for that season. The
result has convinced Chicago business
men that the people can buy mer-
chandise whenever the present public
demand for reduced prices is fairly
met.
One Of them at tho head OF syndi-
cate Of wholesale houses has caupht
the idea and sends out word. of
advice to HIS branch managers as
follows:
Have a heart to heart talk with
your retail customers. Tell them the
trend Of the times and that It is I'm
to them to meet the existing business
situation-not to buck the game. All
the financial writer's in the land are
publishing far, and wide reports TO
the. effect that the retailers are NOT
doing their part. To my mind, It Is
time for the wholesale friends of the
retailer to do some educational work
with their retail customers and teach
them the way.
Tell them they must reduce their
prices and clear out their shelves ~
their .high-priced merchandise and
they will then be ready to buy On the
market and take advantage Of lower
prices.
This Is tho time for tho retailer to
unload and to reduce his prices: tell
MIN there Is plenty Of money in this
country Tin fact, all the money of the
world practically is in this country
to buy his goods. but that he must
tirst overcome the psychological con-
dillon now existing in the consumers
minds that prices must be cut and the
longer the retailer waits, tho harder
it will be for him.
You know It's the salvation Of the
retailer to get out from under his
high priced stocks while there is vet
time. In fact, the clothing trade has
beer forced in many Instances to go
to the ultimate consumer with their
goods because they could not get the
retailer to meet the situation. If the
retailer wants to save himself as a
merchant, he must do as the whole
saler and manufacturer are doing, cut
his prices, thereby reducing his stocks
and getting ready money into his
business with which to take adwan-
tage Of the lower prices which will
prevail after the first Of the new
yeai-."
The merchant who can replace his
stock Of goods for less money should
lose no time getting rid of the goods
that cost him higher prices. If he can
unload them in q month when it
would otherwise require six months
OF normal storekeeping expense to do
It he need not charge more than one
months overhead to his cost and he
neel not think much Of profits when
| the emergency demands q sudden
| rush to get out from in under losses
When the sale is over and his stock
| has been replaced at the new lower
| level of cost he will be in position to
meet competition, maintain the pres
tigs of his store and make a prof,
turnout the remainder Of the year.
This is the time to unload high
priced goods at price reductions that
will induce the public to buy.
