DIE YACHT AM RHEIN

Those of us who are fortunate en-
ough to have been selected for the
Army of Occupation have far more
difficult task than of merely polio
ing a certain strip of ground. We
shall be in the midst of a people who
are drinking the dregs Of the cup
of defeat, who are seeing their lands
held by an allan force to insure their
own good behavior, who have been de
serted by the ruler in whose defense
they gave something more precious
than life, a people who, to fit them
selves for a place in the society OF
nations, must build up on the moral
ruins of the past four years.
We go il among them as conquer
ors-there is no need to conceal that
fact from them or from ourselves. But
we must go in among them with hum
Bile and contrite heart. For though
we enter as conquerors, we enter al,
so as peace makers, for they shall
be called the children of God"

last snatching from their eyes the

THE QUEENS MESSAGE
Winepeg Free Press.

Winepeg Free Press.
The message of Queen Mary to the
women of the empire is message in
keeping with those which in less hap
py times she sent out as source of
strength to the home line of defense.
1t has good sense and good cheer: it
has dignity, humility, sweetness, cour
age and womanliness. Referring to
the women she says:
81 have been allowed to watch and
appreciate their work in many parts
of the country, and my heart is full
of admiration and gratitude for what
| have SEEN"
Not only has the queen watched
she also has worked The hospitals
know her we'll and the munition plant
know her All kinds of work found
in her and her household assistance
to the uttermost. The food regula-
tons did not stop at the palace gate.
The most rigorous example of obi
dience to the laws made necessary
by the war began there Their ma
iesties have not prated about their
burdened people. They simply got
out and got under their share of the
load. In her concluding paragraph
the queen says:
CAS- we have been united in all our
work, whether our head or hands, in
a real sisterhood of suffering and ser
vice during the war, let us go on
working together with the same uni
ty of purpose for the resettlement
and reconstruction of our country"

II say to the gentlemen at Wash

Taft addresses to his associates an ar

practical idealism that inspires the
conception may be beyond them, but a
stampede is to a politician the most
convincing of reasons. Mr.. Taft's hint
of manifest destiny is enforced by no
less a figure than Lloyd George who
interrupts his demands for the ut
most possible indemnities to tell the

a League of Nations is necessary, if
not TO prevent wars, at least to add

HAVEN'T HAD ENOUGH.

The following, written by Edwin l..
James, a New York Times correspon-
dent. goes to show that the customary
German arrogance is still with the
people of that nation. despite the fact
that some would make US believe the
people as a whole are not to be blamed
for the continuance of the war.
The world has been told that Am
erica went to war to make Germany
sorry, to make Germany repent, IS
make Germans repentant, and to sho'.
them the error of their ways. Amesa
ca should know that end has not yet
been won Defeat has not sOrrowed
the German people here or in Treves.
They regret the sinking of the Lusi-
tania not because it was lnhuman,
but because it was a mistaken policy
which brought America into the war.
Germans are not sorry for the war
have been told dozens of times by
German citizens here they are sorry
the war stopped, for they thought they
might have won. Something must
happen to this German people more
than has happened. If defeat did not
make them repentant, perhaps heavy
monetary punishment may reach their
gizzards. They are too naughty about
everything here, They say they nev-
or heard the word boche."

AFTER THE BOIL WEEVIL

In the Georgia Legislature bill
has been introduced to provide for
the free distribution of calcium ar
senate to combat the boil weevil.
When the law makers get after
the boil wcevil he had better skee-
daddlc. But this is not the limit of
Georgia's efforts to eradicate and ex-
terminate the boil wcevil. Some of
the counties are taking the matter in
hand.
Committees were appointed in
each district who stand pledged to
engage the attention of all their far
mcrs, white and colored, to secure
their cooperation; to equip them
with information; to interest them in
constant meetings; and to encourage
them to weekly, daily, hourly effort
to the end that the weevil shall be
bitterly and rclcntlesSly fought. These
gatherings are to be held at the
church, school houses and at the
homes Of the committeeman.
In Monroe county it may be noted
that the districts Of Vinegar Hill and
Hearn's Store have appointed com
mittceS to make war on Mr.. Weevil.
If that combination dom squelch
them the case may be considered

THE INTERESTS OF TOWN
AND COUNTRY ARE MERGED

The resources of the country have
built up the trade of the town and
the public improvements resulting
form this wealth have largely been
applied to the betterment of the town
itself. This being true, many farm
ers have come to feel that the towns
man is selfish, that he seeks major
benefit from transaction by fixing
the price both on what the farmer
has to sell and on what he has to
buy.
1t has been well said that the solu-
tion is to make the country town a
real part Of country life and develop
one program for the upbuilding of
both town and country. The life Of
the town cannot be separated from
the life of the country. The interests
of town and country merge and cross.
If the farmers are thrifty, the towns
are thrifty. If the farmers are un-
thrifty, the towns are likely to be
dead. The prosperity of the farms is
the soul of the business life of the
town. The business interests, the
banker, the merchant, the manufac-
turer, and all the rest must become
alert to the necessity for creating
fair and adequate relations with the
farmers in their own trade territori-
ty, in the interests of their own great
est ultimate gain.-The Progressive
Farmer.

POOR HOUSE ROASTED"
County Almshouse Made June
10, 1920, By Assist. Sec
retary Brearly

The score Of the Chesterfield
County almshouse is over a hundred
points lower than it was last year.
This is due partly to the lack of prop
er administration and to the disor-
ganization caused by the recent ill
ness and death of superintendent
Thompson. Mrs. Thompson who has
succeeded her husband has not yet
been able to get things in proper
shape.
The system of administration at
this almshouse is fundamentally
wrong. The superintendent is given
a certain sum of money to feed and
clothe each inmate. His salary con-
sists of what he can save from this
amount. Under this system the only
protection the inmates have is the
man in charge. The fee system should
be abolishd and the superintendent
paid an adequate salary and allowed
to draw on the county commissioners
for the Necessary food and clothing
for the inmates, just as the foreman
of the chain gang now does.
An immediate effort to improve
the sanitation of this institution is
also necessary. Each inmate should
be given a bath and a supply of
clean clothes when he is admitted and
should be required to bathe and
change his linen at least once week
thereafter. The bedding should be
thoroughly renovated as soon as pos
sible.
The house occupied by negro men
is probably the most miserable of any
in the dozen county almshouses visit
ed this year. The building is falling
to pieces and affords little more than
rude shelter. The two rooms are
filed with trash of various kinds, and
the beds are practically pile of rags
heaped upon the bed Stats
That the county commissioners are
making some effort to improve the
sanitation is evidenced by their ord
ering screens for the building occupi-
ed by the white inmates and the Su-
perintendent's family 1t is hopd that
these will soon be installed to afford
protection against flies and mosqui-
toes.

sion passed bill permitting the COM

ROCKEFELLER'S
GREAT DONATION

1t is said that John D. Rockefeller
has knocked London silly. He dis
covered that the London hospitals
were cramped for funds, owing to
the fact that England is staggering
under heavy war debt What did
our John D. do but donate scoops, 900
to the hospitals and medical colleges
of the great English metropolis!
An English paper, referring to the
wonderful donation says:
"Here where British enterprises
are fearing daily the imposition Of a
capital levy, where the British work
men are finding it impossible to live
on their wages--here, where every
penny must be counted, and where
every charity is crying for funds,
six-million dollar plums do not fall
out Of golden trees"
John D. Rockefeller, now that he is
approaching the close of long life,
does not want it said of him as was
said few years ago of another mil
lionaire, New Yorker, "He stands to-
day at the gate of Heaven a beggar."

Mr.. HURST WARNS AGAINST
LOW GRADE COTTON

Mr.. John r. Hurst, the largest cot
ton-buyer in Chesterfield, wishes to
impress upon the cotton growers of
the county the unwisdom of produc-
ing low grade lint.
Mr.. Hurst has on his hands much
cotton that he bought last fall as
low as l5 cents that he is unable to
dispose of at any price. This con-
dition prevails throughout the cotton
belt and as natural result low
grade cotton will be left on the farm
ers' hands this fall.
Nearly all of the Objectionable
grades of cotton was of good grade
when grown and which became low
grade through neglect to pick at the
proper time or through weather dam
age after picking.
To make the most of the cotton
crop it will be absolutely necessary
for the farmer to give more attention
to picking and caring for his product.
All cotton should be picked as soon
as it opens and should be kept clean.
The more rapidly it is picked the less
liable it is to damage by rain.
After being ginncd it should be
stored in a warehouse, if one is avail
able If a warehouse is out of the
question a good shelter must be pro-
vided and skids must be LAID to keep
the cotton off the ground. From time
to time the bales must be turned so
that all sides will be sufficiently ex-
posed to the air
