GOAL OF FLIGHT
Two Marine Planes to Begin
5,500-Mile Jaunt Tuesday
At Boiling Field.

A 5,500-mile flight, from Washing
ton to the Virgin Islands and return,
will begin tomorrow morning, when
four Marine Corps officers will take
OFF from Boiling Field in two De-
Haviland Alb land planes.
This flight is the longest yet taken
up by the Marine Corps aviation serv-
ice. The two land planes, totally un-
fitted for landing on water, will have
to cross the Gulf Stream and the
tricky Windward Passage. above
which the air is in a state of contin-
ual disturbance.
Major Thomas c. Turner, u. s. NJ.
c., will be in command and will act
as pilot of Plane No. /, alternating
with First Lieut.. Basil @. Bradley.
The second plane will be piloted by
Second Lieut.. Lawson II. Sanderson.
with Gunnery Sergeant Charles w.
Rucker as mechanic.
Orders for the flight were issued to
Major Turner today by Mai. Gen.
John A Lejeune, Marine corps COM
mandant.
The fight will take about three
weeks, as no effort will be made for
speed. The planes used will be
standard DH4B models fitted with
extra gasoline tanks and storage
space for spare parts. No radio
equipment will be carried because of
the weight
Leaving Washington tomorrow the
flyers expect to finish their first jump
al Fayetteville, N. c., going by way
OF Richmond. Thereafter the flight
will be by way of Paris Island, s, C. ,
Jacksonville, Daytona, Miami. and
Key West, Fla: Havana Santa Clara,

On March / Mrs. Frost petitione ed
for divorce in the local court. She
said she was married in Newark on
June 15, 1915. and practically from
the time OF their marriage Frost prac-
ticed frequent cruelties on her.
The complaint bristles with charges
involving other women. 1t says he
called her vile names and falsely ac-
cused her OF misconduct with other
men; also that he boasted he could
support the handsomest blonde in
New York on $4,000 a year.
CALLED HIM A FRIEND.
On one occasion. she said, while
they were guests at the Hotel Goth
am in New York. he threatened to
throw her trunks into the street.
The affidavit filed in blocking
Frosts New Jersey suit characterized
the boat builder as "fiend in
carnate." These are some of the
things she said the elderly inancier
did:
He was addicted to drugs.
He dragged her about the room
by her hair.
He kicked her out Of bed.
He bit her ana threatened to Kill
her.
He said he would have the Iexis-
1ature pass n bill permitting q man
with money to have as many wom-

he would deposit with the State
100000 for each woman.

was awarded 5000 a week alimony

EYES ON HER SISTER.
Mrs. Farnshaw said that Frost told
her that IL his wife recovered he
would divorce her and II Farnshaw
were not killed in France Mrs. Farm
shaw could divorce him.
Mrs. Farnshaw said her reply was:
Il would not have you IL you were
the last man on earth"
George Hassan asserted that an

March 2S.-The decision of the Rus
sian Soviet government to abolish
money as the medium of value and
exchange has been rescinded. This
announcement was made today by
NJ Leshava. head of the Russian
Foreign Trade Board.
MONEY TO BE RETURNED.
In response to a question as to
how Russia plans to resume trading.
not only in this country but with
foreign nations. NJ. Leshava said:
Naturally we cannot use money
Just yet In our internal commerce.
However. we Intend to return to the
money standard. Commerce will be
carried on upon the money standard
and IL Is being SO ordered by the
soviet government. Merchants will
repay to the state in goods that
they get from the peasants. and
other customers will pay In goods
for products they receive.
TT is probable that the small
business people will be under the
control Of the Co-operatives' Society.
The Foreign Trade Board will act
as the agent of the co-operatives in
foreign countries.
The co-operatives will control the
distribution of all goods bought. both
local and foreign. The co-opera-
tives immediately will give the

The announcement that the Russian
Soviet government will adopt the
monetary system of the "cspitalistic

the most revolutionary reforms in
augurated by the Bolshevik regime in
Russia.
SAW EVILS IN MONEY.
After the establishment of the
Soviet federal government 1t was
stated that the old monetary system
would be done away with and that
goods of all kinds would be used as
the medium of exchange and barter
1t was declared that the financial
systems OF the bourgeois" countriesN
was one of the chief causes OF the suf-
ferings Of the working class. How
ever. while money was ordered abol-
ished, the government continued to
print paper roubles, They were not
used in the distribution of such food
and clothing and fuel as the govern
ment rationed. These supplies were
doled out upon a system OF cards, the
status OF the applicant determining
the amount he should receive.

>rep'y to Lsnin." The heading fe-
fers, to this nations refusal to deal
W. Russia and our gauche and
insulting suggestion that Russia
make herself respectable, cease
killing, etc., before presuming to
suggest trade with US.
France applauds, of course, be-
cause Russia owes France thirty
thousand million francs, foolishly
lent by the French Republic to the
Russian autocracy. And, old and
wise enough to know better, France
hopes that some magician will
whip Russia and compel payment
Of the thirty thousand millions.
Almost anything may happen in
Russia, but not THAT.
France and England tried to
make our late foolish Administra-
ton fight Russia on a big scale
and force payment of the French
debt. We sent and sacrificed a few
Americans in violation of law, but
did nothing on big scale. Then
they tried to NIKE this country
FINANCE a wa against Russia,
the army to be made up of Poles,
Rumanians, Czecho-Slovaks and
others-French and English hav-
ing had enough fighting-hired to
fight.
The United States was to pay
the bill, which would have been as
great as the total French claim.
That plan failed. Now England
calmly proceeds to gather in Rus
sian trade, and the Government of
this country, as foolish concerning
Russia as the last Administration,
stands off and makes faces at Rus
Ga. WHY?
Are we so much holier? Sup-
pose you read that in a Russian
river three moujiks were found
manacled together and stabbed to
death, and then in the same river
six others were found manacled
and murdered because the wretch
ed creatures had refused to work
without pay, as slaves.
Well, in our blessed country in
the past week nine negroes, mana
cled and murdered, have been taken
out of one river, all killed by one
planter because they refused to
work without pay. Our State De-
partment ought to read a very
pretty text about the mote and the
beam.
Every day in China one thousand
die of hunger. And every day
China ships food to other coun-
tries, because other countries can
pay for it what the Chinese cannot
pay.
Commerce is interesting. And
figures concerning it are important
to the United States now.
For instance, our trade with
Europe is much like the OK in the
stock yards after the hammer had
struck il on the head.
In February we sold to Europeans
less by s142,000,000 than a year
ago. We bought from Europe
s51 .000, 900 less than in February,
1920.

Handling Alfalfa as a Hay Crop

When a good stand of alfalfa has
been obtained, most farmers think
their troubles are all over. In this
they are mistaken. for one can easily
destryo the most promising stand of
alfalfa by cutting it at the wrong
period or managing the area on which
1t is grown in an injudicious manner.
The studies and investigations
made along this line by the Georgia
State College of Agriculture and its
experts have demonstrated that a
stand of alfalfa can be kept through
series of years on Georgia soils
without impairment if proper fertili-
cation is pursued and cutting is done
plish this very desirable end Is a
matter of very great Importance to
all farmers who may be interested
In the cultivation of this crop. Study
and profit, therefore, by the sugges-
lions offered below.
When to cut alfalfa has been a
subject of considerable discussion
the country over, and several differ
ent methods have been suggested to
indicate the time to cut. The two
principal ones are the bloom and the
starting of the shoots that produce
the next crop. For Georgia condi-
tions, the work done so far would
indicate that the starting of the
shoots is probably the best indicator.
1t is little hard at time to deter
mine On an average condition as the
different plants will start shoots at
different times.
The relationship between blooms
and the starting of the shoots will
be found to be different at different
times of the season. Usually in the
first cutting the shoots start when the

If your grain crop or stock rails
ing has been poor during the past
season, don't be discouraged because
with the big improvement In the fur
situation, trapping will again pro We
very profitable this winter. By 60
ing about the work Systematically
you can gather in your fur crop and
make it pay you big returns.
Last year on account of the de-
moralized condition of the fur mar
ket and the low prices that prevailed
for furs. very little trapping was
done. This had the effect of caus-
ing the fur-bearing animals to in
crease greatly.
The season there will be big
crop of furs in almost every sec
ton. Prices on all kinds are going
to be high enough to make trap
ping worth while.
The fur crop is an important crop
one that causes you neither etfor-
nor expense to raise and yet crop
that produces for the farmers of the
United States between twenty and
twenty-five million dollars eacn year.
Do MOI overlook this important
crop, especially If your finances are
in such shape as to make this extra
income needed or helpful.

The Country Home
BY MRS. w. FL. FELTON,
The World Still at War

The Atlanta Journal of August 80
tells US that fierce fighting is going
on between the Greeks and Turkey
right now. The British and Irish are
at it again. There are even American
soldiers in Germany guarding the
conquered territory of the allies, and
bloody civil strife in West Virginia.
This means deep trouble to the limo
cent and the helpless in all the Sec
tions here mentioned. 1t is also a
time when murders are frequent all
over the United States. Banks, stores
and private dwellings are being con-
stantly burglarized all over Georgia
There is more liquor drank in our
section than known here for the past
twenty years, and mora young men
engaged in bootlegging than ever
heard of in our community. There
are more incendiary fires than ever
Birmingham railroad has it's running
trains dynamited here in Georgia. 1t
appears to be reign of laWlessness
and the people who are getting the
tax money are the sheriffs and mar
shals who are kept busy hunting
down these daring criminals, with
little apparent effect towards con-
trolling the peace and convicting the
offenders. 1t was bad enough last
year. 1t is worse in 1921; Taxes
are mounting higher all the time,
and the outlook for prosperity is
getting DINNER every day. We have
the shortest cotton crop ever known
in the cotton belt, and the boil Wee
vii seems to be universal. 1t is
Struggling to live. to pay their, debts
and to get enough for their family
to live upon. The whole world seems
to be at war-the lawless against

and the burglars and murderers.
