 IN MUSKMELONS
Produces More Than Any Oth- CT State, According to
 Official Figures

Arkansas leads the nation with 10,655 acres planted to commercial raising of musk melons during the present year, according to statistics just made public by the Agri- cultural Department.
 In 1920 Colorado held first place in muskmelon produc- tion, but a decrease of Is per cent in acreage and an in- crease of 61 per cent in Ark ansas caused Colordado to drop to second place.
 The commercial acreage of muskmelons in the 12 late producing states shows an in- crease of IA per cent over last year, according to the bureau, report. The acreage harvest, ed in 1920 was 24,476, while it is estimated that 31,21E acres were planted this year
 In addition to Colorado, both Illinois and Indiana reported a decrease in acreage, while Michigan, New York and Ten. nessee remained approximate. ly the same. The other states in addition to Arkansas, which reported an increase are Delaware, 32 per cent Missouri 15 per cent; Wash. ington, II per cent; Iowa and Maryland, 5 per cent.

For Good of
 the COmmunity

l0dQ ana ms VlSlOn IS DluTT0u. T10 dCCuIHu- lates bile and indigestion Men with hope and confidence pass him by and he rails with impotency.
 Things have been high, awfully high, too high. But the wise man did not stop even then. Where he could figure re- turn commensurate with the outgo, he kept going. Men built store houses at high cost and leased them at high rentals. They shall have done as we'll as those who waited for reduced prices to get lower ones in return.
 Men with only certain amount to place in,homes were forced to wait. Those making fixed and permanent industrial investment were compelled to proceed with caution but even in the factory field certain wise ones built additions and pre- pared for the future by installing the equipment required to handle business on the turn.
 The buyers had a strike They were right in their attitude. There were things that they could do without while. They ceased buying them and prices came down Acquiring the habit of expecting lower prices they have ceased considering whether the tide may turn in the other di-
 rection.
 But the manufacturer is not a sheep to
 be driven hither and yon. If he made
 more hay than was his due in the flush
 times, so did others. In the pairing pro-
 cess there was limit at which he could operate and come out even. Passing that
 limit it were foolhardy to produce. He quit producing.
 They have not called it a producers
 strike, but 1t has been something of that
 nature. He who could not buy because ducing because he could not produce at
 profit are of like way of thinking; ani-
 mals of the same species.
 All which leads to present scarcity of
 stocks of goods in various lines, the ap- preaching movement of the fall crops, the placing of coal in the cellar and the ques- tion of prices when the small production
 faces a reYiving demand and the lack of Il goods on hand and cars to move them in
 adds zest to the demand.
 Theodore Price, the veteran Wall street observer, calls attention to scarcity H of refined sugar and recent advance in N price, The pack of the canneries this E summer has been far below normal. N Stocks of chemicals are so low that warn \ ing has been sent out. Tea is hardening | and hides are higher Even Christmas Il toys are not in abundance Few have laid in their coal. When all N want the same thing at the same time all II the laws of the Medes and the Persians MI cannot prevent the charging of higher MI price, because the nervous buyer will of MI fer higher price to get the stuff. MI Pig iron stocks in Alabama went lower M last month than the month before. With only one merchant stack going this month MI they will be lower still August 1. These MI stocks are ill-assorted. One furnace in IN terest has already been buying from an- M other certain grades of iron for it's GUS M toners which it did not have on yards.

 Bessemer. July Especial )-The Bessemer Shrine clubs second annual picnic at West Lake, featured by a programme of amusements and an elaborate barbecue was a big event of Monday.
 President Henry ozley, of the club, and the committees appointed to ar range the details of the affair did not overlook the provision of any feature that would add to the days pleasure.
 Automobiles conveyed the Shriners and their families and guests to the 1 lake at o'clock and at 6 o'clock an elaborte barbecue supper was served and later iced watermelons. Swimming, boating bowling and dancing were enjoyed throughout the afternoon and evening until 12 o'clock.

 Plot for Heroes
 The memorial plot in Cedar Hill cemetery which the city council of | Bessemer has given for the last rest ing place of the soldiers bodies re- l turned from the battlefields of France, will be selected within a few days.
 The donation of this plot by the city came after a petition to that body from Worth Lewis Post, Amer | ican Legion, and members of this or ganization with Mayor B. C. Jones, and members of the post auxiliary will make the selection of the loca- ton.
 According to plans the memorial plot will be made a thing of beauty as befits the resting place of the heroes whose bodies will be inferred
 there.

 at an early date.

The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1921-02-25

The secretary of the federal treas
ury demurred when called upon by the
senate committee to tell whether our
government had been approached bv
any of the European nations owing
this government, to have the United
States cancel the debt. All he would
reveal was the fact that one European
government had made advances of that
nature. He would not give the name
OF the nation, neither would he pro-
duce the documents bearing on the
matter. He, or his assistant, admitted
that no interest had been paid by these
foreign governments since they secured
the loans. 1t does strike one that.
though this government might be able
to stand the out and out loss of the
paltry sum of ten to fifteen billion dol
lars, on top of the billions spent by our
government for it's share in the carry
Jog on of the war, it would be an un-
kind blow to the pride of these nations
if this country should cancel it's bills
against them, thereby placing them in
a class of hard luck mendicants. Uncle
Sam is generous, and he is patient. but
his courtesy will tell him that it might
be humiliating for the proud nations of
Europe to settle their little bills except
on q basis of full payment of principal,
interest and ALL
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1921-02-25

The Milwaukee Journal is carving
on campaign to awaken the people Of
this state to the need of reforestation
and tree planting in general. This cam
paign should have the support of the
people of the state, not only in the
matter of the larger plans for reforest-
alton of the large tracts of cumberland
that have been laid waste by the greed
of unscrupulous lumber interests and
criminally guilty politicians, but also in
the way of individual tree planting on
the farms. along the highways, around
lakes and along streams. Economy and
wise management of standing timber
on private property should become
matter of as careful study as is the
management of the field and the herd.
In some European countries legislation
has been enacted providing for compul-
sorry planting of trees wherever trees
are removed, except where new soil is
added to the tillable area of the coun-
try. In the matter of rainfall the
presence of trees plays conspicuous
service. Observation in this country
has proven that areas previous to the
growth of timber were looked upon as
arid, have, as the trees have increased
in number and size, become blessed
with much greater rainfall China's
suffering from great droughts and con-
sequent loss of crops, followed by fam
inc and plaques, is laid to the fact that
the country has been denuded of its
forests an order to furnish tillable soil.
If China had more trees and less till
able land, she would produce greater
harvests, and surer harvests, and i'm
prove the security of her people.
