OPERATING COSTS
key TO SITUATION
Washington Officials Reoprt on Sur
vey and Give Wholesome Advice.

Washington, April 3.-Cotton
growers can meet the present price
situation by carefully considering"
operating expenses and reducing them
whenever there is likelihood of OBJ
tanning low yield per acre, the de-
partment of agriculture said in a
report today on the results of a sur
Vey OF basic requirements and cost
of producing cotton.
mule rates for labor and pay then
paid for seed and fertilizer to the
basic requirements in an investiga-
ton In Mitchell county, Georgia, the
average operating expense of cotton
production was fixed at approximate
ly 80 cents pound there
Man and mule rates for labor in
this investigation and seed and ferti-
lizer costs, the department saws.
constituted Sd per cent. of the total
operating expense, exclusive of land
rent. Other expenses amounting to
10 per cent. of the total included such
items as ginning, manure, equipment,
taxes, insurance and overhead. Man
labor labor was charged at the rate of 80
cents an hour, mule labor 80 cents
an hour, seed $81 a ton and fertilizer
at $40 ton. From the total cost
OF $56.16 an acre, seed credit of
$500 was deducted, making a total
net cost of $52.26.
Asserting that the rates for labor
and seed did not start to decline
until after the 1920 crop had been
produced, the report adds:
with cotton around 12 to Is cents
per pound the returns not only allow
ed no interest on capital, but failed
10 pay operating expenses at going
for agriculture. With cotton at Is
cents per pound it would require a
yleid of approximately $50 pounds
OF lint to cover operating expenses.
.Ihe application of the basic re-
quirements of production in estimat-
ing the costs should be of vital inter
est to growers at this time" the re
port adds. "The history of the year
1920 will not be forgotten Immediate
lessons of this period will bear some
fruit"

U. S. WILL MAKE SEPARATE
PEACE WITH GERMANY

Washington, April 4.--The Harding.
administration intends to terminate
the war between the United States
ans Germany by Congressional resolu-
ton, M. Viviani, the French envoy ex-
traordinary to this country, is under
stoor to have been informed tonight
at a dinner at the home of Senator
Mccormick of Illinois.
Inc former premier was also in
formed, it was said, by Senators pres
ent, that the program of the adminis-
tration did not contemplate entrance
of the United States into the league
of nations.
Inc french envoy, who was accom-
panied by Ambassador Jusserand, was
sad to have been Informed that SEN
tlment Of Republican leaders was vir
tually unanimous for adoption of the
Knox separate peace resolution, sub
lect only to possible amendment from
It's original form, early in the special
session of Congress. M. Viviani was
described as appearing "reconcied" to
the situation.
Those at the dinner said that M
VlVlam had been told frankly that it
was useless to discuss the possibility
of American membership in Iea~Iee
OF Nations. Most of the Republican
members of the Senate foreign rela-
tions committee and Col. George Har-
yey, of New York, prospective am
bassador at the Court of st. James,
were among those present.
:. At the same time the Senators made
1t clear that the United States would
take no action which could be in
any way considered as "helpful" to
Germany, especially in the matter of
PREPARATIONS and fulfilling other OBJ
legations involved in the peace settle
ment.
In discussing the proposed separate
peace resolution, the Senator's. # is
understood, asserted their intention to
introduce it Immediately upon the con
vening of Congress and urge it's
prompt adoption. However, they add
ed, that if President Harding should
request delay in the matter of vote,
this undoubtedly would be arranged.

LIBRARY ASSOCIATION
HOLDS MEETING

The association held a meeting
wednesday afternoon to elect officers
for the coming year, fifteen present.
Mrs. w. G. Davis was elected pres
ident, Mrs. A. G. Bradham, vice presi-
dent, Mrs. A. II. Helms, secretary and
treasurer.
After the election of officers it was
carried that Mrs. Davis could not
serve as president, SO Mrs. w. p. Legg
will continue in office.
Mrs: A. L. Helms was appointed
the delegate to represent the associa-
tion at State Federation at Camden,
accompanied by the president, Mrs
w: ?. Legg.
Fope the members of the associa-
tion will take more active interest
in the Library this year, and make
it the very best year of it's history
Not often is our little library brought
before the public, and We sometimes
wonder if the people of Manning ap-
preciate their privilege of owning
such beautiful building and their
opportunity Of using the books for
the small sum of one dollar a year
That entities them to two books a
week, one hundred and four books
year, less than one cent to read a
good book. Out of membership of
more than one hundred, about thirty
pay their dues.
We try to hold business meeting
the last Wednesday, in each month
and | really believe if the members
would attend these meetings they
would become so enthused, and inter
estcd in the work, that the Library
would be one of the most attractive
places in our town.
We have nice fixtures for water in
the house and yard, but no water, as
we have not the means to pay for it.,
and city does not furnish it. Though
1T would take very small amount for
use in the house, and it is impossible
to- grow flowers on the grounds
without water. We have nice electric
lights and am proud to say that
Mr.. Luclous Harvin is public spirited
enough to furnish electricity, free of
cost to the Library.
We also have a board of trustees,
Mr.. Charlton DuRant, Mr.. A. C.
Bradham, and Mrs. C. r. Sprott
Last summer the house was leak
| ing, damaging the walls, the Home
Bank and Trust Company loaned the
money to repair roof, the association
giving note which was paid in Feb
| ruary.
. Since l have been Librarian, many
| -. .'"'iSSAo NIoIlllS lIe town nave gone
through the library and SO often
have heard said, "few small towns
have such Il beautiful building, Mann
ING. should certainly be proud of it."
Hoping that the new officers will
take hold of their work with the de-
termination to do their best, that the
association will help them in every
way possible, that the trustees may
come forward, realizing their respon-
Slbility, and advise and direct, and
hell, IN anyway that is in their power,
working with the new officers, to
carry out the object of this associa-
ton, that is, the establishment and
maintenance of permanent library
m m the town of Manning. The new
officers will take charge at once. and
as soon as a Librarian is appointed
the library will open as usual every
Wednesday and Saturday afternoon,
from five to six o'clock.

Enragcd over the members per-

to do him physical harm, but Alder
man Shiplacoff, socialist, calmed
their anger with the remark that,

foolish if he so desires"

possible assignment for General
Pershing, whose rank as general of
the army places him above any rou-

acceptable diplomatic post General

diplomatic post mentioned for him is
