3I5g0EDING movements and reduced acreage pleas
On the part Of farmers have reached the Stage
where serious developments to be feared.
Cotton farmers are holding their bales for in
creased prices and cotton Interests are preaching
acreage reduction next year ranging from onehird to
ons7haif.
heat growers are holding their wheat for 50 a
buS6etand talking Of decreased production next year.
Farmers are really carrying out their threats Of
curtailsd production. the Department of Agriculture
reports.
ESe nation as whole welcomed fall in prices.
Bm unfortunately, prices to the farmer fell far more
than: tley have to the consumer. Crops made under
most expensive conditions in history suddenly de-

There has long been speculation about what would

probably never will But such movements the pres

Someone was asleep at the switch last night
when a news story went out from Chicago to the
effect tina. the national headquarters OF the Socialist
party had announced that when congress meets next
month Meyer London. Socialist congressman from
New York state would introduce resolution de-
manding immediate peace with Russia and recog-
milton OF the Soviet regime. If Mr.. London means
to take these steps himself he will have TO wait
at least until after the fourth OF next March for
that is the earliest possible date which congress
men elected November can qualify. However, a
detail like that cannot mean much TO the publicity
side Of the Socialist organization.

1 LETTERS TO
TIE EDITOR
PUT ON THE CLAMPS.

FAIRMoNT, Nov. 2s.-IEditor
The West virginianl-At last-so
I read-the authorities have the
wisdom and courage to strike at
the root Of the alcoholic evil, that
is-to prohibit the public sale OF
malt and hops. For this they are
to be Compllmented.
However, to me the proposed
measure does not seem stringent
enough by far. In my opinion also
the free sale OF raisins, sugar.
yeast, prunes and dried peaches
and cherries should be forbidden,
for they oil can be, and alas are,
used for making of alcoholic drinks.
In fact, not until every housewife
has to get a license for her daily
ration OF fruits and sugar can we
feel that we have really made the
world safe for democracy and that
we live in the land Of the brave
and the free,
-. Yours very truly,

The French solution of the problem which was
created by the outcome OF the Greek elections is
said to be to take care that the grip Of the western
powers on Constantinople and the Turkish finances
is not disturbed but TO let the Turks regain from
Greece what they OF the territory that was taken
from Turkey and given to Greece in the Turkish
treaty. If that idea prevails the Greeks cannot
complain, but at the same time it will have to be
recognized that it means that Europe has got clear
back to the old basis and that the next great war
is not very far off.
