No Welcome to Alien Agitators

The London correspondent OF the
World tells the readers Of that Jews
paper. that:
THE ILloyd Georgel Government
is planning intensive British propa-
ganda in the United States espe-
cially in relation to listers case. In
view OF the opening oe the Belfast
Parliament.
when Chief Secretary GREEN
WOOD stated the other day in the
House of Commons that more PUB
licity would be sought for the jIsti-
Acation of his administration. he had
in mind this fresh effort to win sup
port for II In America"
We hope the Lloyd George Govern
ment will not undertake any enter
prise of the kind.
The American people is sick and
tired Of organized professional for
eign efforts TO influence its senti.
ment and to shape it's thought. The
volunteer and paid agents Of several
foreign nations have been active in
the United States for a number OF
years The net result Of their preach
ments, open or secret. in favor of
one foreign country or another, or OF
one faction as against another faction
in a particular country, has been to
weary Americans and to render them
suspicious Of all strangers and ma
tives who undertake the task Of en-
tightening them rs to the merits OF
subjects In dispute abroad. This sus-
picion will not down, and the resent
ment it breeds will in no way improve
the relations between the United
States and any nation concerned.
The Lloyd George Government does
not lack adequate opportunity to in
form the people Of this country as TO
its policy and practices in Ireland or
anywhere else II LLOYD GEORGE or
Chief Secretary GREENWOOD or any
other member Of that Government
makes a worth while announcement
or declaration concerning Ireland or
any other subject IL Is laid before the
American people by the press of this
country as news without cost to the
British taxpayers; and the definition
of worth while" as used here is very
liberal. If Mr.. LLOYD GEORGE and his
associates do not know this they
should he Informed of it.

The while Apollo In the western gloam.

And winds OF day. subdued by twilight's

Caress the fields OF greenish gray and

Where slender naples to the call re-

And catkins nod and whisper to each
frond.
Each tiny pool in silver afterglow
Becomes another sky. And thus they

While in her train across the vaulted

PRESENTS REASONS
FOR LESS ACREAGE
Lois /. Guion Shows Why Cotton
Must Be Replaced by Other
Crops.

The State, 81.
eff there were no other reasons
why the cotton acreage should be re-
duced in 1921, the fact that small
crops always bring more dollars and
cents than large crops is argument
enough" declared Louis I. Guion,
well known planter of Lugoff, yester-
day.
..But there are many reasons"
continued Mr.. Guion. "The dire fin
ancial conditions that have ovrecome
us within the last six months have
also served to remove or cause to be
forgotten the boil weevil. 1t has been
successfully demonstrated all over the
cotton belt that not over eight acres
to the plow can be grown success
fully under boil weevil conditions
even where conditions are not favor
able for the weevils. Indeed five
acres to the plow has proven year in
and year out the safe crop. In 1920
vast territories of Georgia, north
west Florida and Alabama were
tempted by Accent cotton to exceed
the safe acreage under weevil con-
ditions. The result is that the peo-
pie of those sections. are absolutely
bankrupt today. am reliably in
formed that S1.00 per pound for
cotton would not pay the expenses
Of thousands of Georgia farmers,
and it would take $500 pound to
pay many of them out.
Another reason why we should re-
duce our acreage IS that our present
system of farming is fundamentally
wrong. Too many of ou- farmers
are farming to make money instead
of first farming to make a living. i
A man who raises all cotton and
buys everything he uses to make
the cotton is curse to the South
in particular and to the country
generally. AS former Governor
Beckett of North Carolina said, 'he
ought to be shot at sunrise and de-
MED a Christian burial
"It takes the whole proceeds of
the normal cotton crop to pay our
food and feedstuffs bill. Why not
raise these supplies and less cotton?

city folk, who have never seen tim
othy hay grow will use nothing but

VIKINGS LIVE AGAIN
IN "THE STAR ROVER"

Eric the Red, and the hardy Vi
kings, who followed him across the
sea in quest of new worlds, appear
as motion picture characters for the
first time, it is said, in "The Star
Rover" the great Jack London story
distributed by Metro, which is now
the feature of the bill at the opera
house Tuesday.
Strangely enough, an exact dupli-
cate of the bleak, frozen wastes of
the North-pictured by early histor-
ians as the shores first visited by the
Vikings-was discovered on a pla-
teau in the snow-covered mountains
of Southern California. Within a few
miles, in the heart of what was once
the nations wine producing section,
was found the acres of grape vines
that cause Eric and Left the Lucky to
call their new possessions Vinland.
Although the phase of the story in
which the Vikings and their half say
age cohorts appear is but minor
one, every detail Of their ccstuming
manner of living, and the customs of
the days in which they visited Amer
ica-nearly half a century before
the coming of Columbus studied
and is reproduced with painstaking
care
Because of this attention to minor
details on the part Of Edward Sloman
who directed the production, it prob
ably will have considerable histori-
cal value as we'll as furnishing as en-
livening a story of adventure as ever
came from Jack London's pen.
In the story of ''The Star Rover"
DR.. Hugh Standing is falsely accused
of the murder of a spectator in a
theatre. While being subjected to
gruelling third degree he lapses into
unconsciousness, his soul reverting to
the early days of the Norsemen.
Because of his ability to project
his spirit from his body, he is able to
repeat his adventures, the incidents
leading to the shooting and in hiking
the responsibility for the crime.
While his spirit is roaming the great
invisible it halts for moment in Ko-
rea, glimpsing the picturesque dwell
ers in the little nation. A typical
village of Korea with large num-
ber of natives in their queer raiment
furnishes another striking incident.
An all-star cast is engaged in the
production Of '@The Star Rover" The
leading male role, that of DR.. Hugh
Standing, is played by Courtenay
Foote. Seventeen-year-old Thelma
Percy is enrolled in the feminine lead,
that of Faith Levering. Others in the
cast are: Marcella Daley, Chance
Ward, 'sDoc" Cannon, Dwight Crit
tenden and Jack Carlysle. Albert
Shelby lie Vino wrote the screen
adaptation which is produced by c. E.

dire straits and facing bankruptcy be-
cause his faith in human nature has
made him too "easy" with defrauding
customers.

roles in the production. Other beau

REMOVING DIRT FROM WALLS
A Brush Or Broom Covered With Soft
Cloth Should Be .used-Avoid
Rubbing Too Hard.

Ordinary plastered and papered
walls and ceilings should be cleaned
with a wall brush or a broom covered
with soft cloth. such as cotton fan
mel. Light overlapping strokes should
be used; heavy strokes rub the dirt
in. Cotton batting is good for clean
ing places that soil more quickly than
the rest-for example, the wall over
radiators, registers and stoves. The
wall should be rubbed lightly with the
cotton, which should be turned as Ii
becomes soiled.
4 There are commercial pastes and
powders for cleaning wall papers. but,
In general these should be applied on
ly by an expert. An amateur is likely
to have streaked wall if he attempts
to use them.
The so-called washable papers used
In kitchens and bathrooms may be
cleaned with a dampened cloth, but
water must be used sparinglys If it
seeps in, the paper will be loosened.
Vanishing the paper in these rooms
will make 1t more nearly impervious
to moisture and steam and will pre-
vent it from peeling, household special
lists of the United States Department
of Agriculture say.
