OUR WEATHER EYE
A Glance Ahead

The Journal recently men toned
the signs OF the coming economic
storm. Since then, Others have
been detected. Europe has sud-
denly quit buying from us. This
applies alike to food products and
manufactured goods. Moreover,
it is apparent that European mar
kets are going to remain closed
against us until Europe is able to
produce goods to sell to us; that
after that it will be give and take
affair, with Europe taking more,
than she gives, for in this way only
can she recuperate; and that even
after this sort of trade is resumed,
in selling farm products to her, we
must let her have our goods as
cheap as they can be secured from
Argentine, Australia, or any other
part of the world or she will not
take them.
All of this means that our sur
plus, which has been in demand at
fabulous prices, is in fair way to
become stale on our hands Some
American pork has actually been
sent back to us across the ocean;
and tens of millions of pounds are
stored in eastern warehouses await
ing foreign orders that will probably
never come. Meat prices have al
ready been forced down seriously
and they seem slated for further
declines; and as meat drops, corn
must likewise go down.
Our weather eye sees some dam
ger of disappointment in holding
farm products for higher prices
from now on; some danger of a de-
moralized market if farmers should
lose their heads and all try to un-
load at once; me good reasons
or gradually turning stored prod
ucts into cash; and3 some other
good ones for not laying1 out too
much money in enterprisest that
can go wrong in case prices fall.
Mr.. and Mrs. Al Andrews have
moved the past week to the Mrs.
Allen residence on North street.
The house in which they formerly
resided was bought by NelsaJ. Pet
ersen sometime ago, who will retire
from the farm and move in the
near future. Mr.. Petersen and
wife have lived on the farm many
years and worked hard, looking for
ward to the time when they could
retire and enjoy happy old age.
| We welcome them to the City
Beautiful.

NEWTON COUNTY AGAINST 1T.

BeEerTihg to the proposed bill fol
the consolidation Of colleges, the New.
ton Record says;
The Record Is rather Of the opln-
ion that It would not be a good idea
From an economical standpoint II
might be a good thing, but that is not
the principal thing to consider. Tc
consolidate the girls school with the
others would be an unwise step, and
it seems as if it would be better to let
that school (the Mississippi State Col.
lege for Women) remain as it is; alsc
that it would be to the advantage Of
the institution to also let the A. ant
N, College remain where it is"
This is a sample of similar comment
intended to frown down emphatically
any such iconoclastic movement that
have been and are now appearing in
Mississippi newspapers.
