Spirit of Business
 in Rural Communities


 M INEY WOODS community in lS this county, where many are making business-like preparations to go into the fruit industry and conduct it scientifically, has made arrangements to send five repre- sentative farmers to the farmers summer school to be held at Auburn July 25-30. These five farmers will share the benefit of what they learn at Auburn with the other farmers of the community on their return.
 This is up-to-date and speaks well for the residents of the Piney Woods community. It is part and parcel of their general plan of co-opera- ton for the common benefit and carries untold good with it.
 Numbers of Jefferson county com munities are emulating the example of Piney Woods. Alliance, Huey- town, and Corners School are just few of these hustling farm cen- ters where the men, women and children are wide awake to the value of cooperative effort.
 This spring the farmers bought their fertilizer at a low price be- cause they pooled their money and purchased for cash in bulk. Later on truckers secured their containers in the same manner. This fall they will make cooperative purchase of fruit trees, securing them by the carload at low price. They are pre- pairing for their community fairs. They are in close touch with the
 
 experts from Auburn and with the local men and women farm agents.
 Out of this is going to come pros perity in the rural sections and an attractiveness that will keep the young men and the young women at home. Business methods will bring the same results to the farm CT as to the city man and render operation of farms as worthy the effort of the ambitious.

 Finances of Shipping Board in a Shocking Condition 6N HE statement of Chairman J Lasker that the shipping boards deficit during the past fiscal year was $3s0, ,000, ,O00, or $780, OOO,Oo0 more than previously esti- mated, with the prospect that it may be even larger, has astounded President Harding and the Ameri- can people. But why should such a Revelation cause amazement? :? Enough disclosures had already been made to show that the wastefulness and extravaganza which chsfacter- ized our participation in the World war had probably never before been equaled or even approximated in the history of nations.
 We should at least feel grateful to MT. Lasker for making clean breast of tho. ushnle affair. but what

Representative Government

"They have tried all sorts of ways to improve on the time- worn form of representative government ia mu- nicipalities without getting any where," said Walter Moore. "Thc old aldermanic form gave each section of the city voice in affairs and each section had a champion in the com mon councils. There Is no other way of having representative govern ment except by electing persons in authority directly responsible to the units of people calling them to of- flee.
 Each district in the state has its congressman, and each county it's distinct officers and each precinct in each county votes whether it will have the school tax or not. That Is representative government. 1t Is not representative government when whole sections of, cities may not be represented in the common council and have their special wants cham pioned."

Freight Rate Prohibitlve

I do not wonder that the railroads are suffering for revenue" says Norwood Richards, "as little expe- rience l have recently had convinces me that the high freight rates have prevented the moving of traffic. For instance, when I left Houston for Birmingham I had an automobile, and wanted to have 1t shipped, but found out that the freight would run from s2O0 to possibly s250, which l thought wss prohibitive, and so abandoned the idea of having it forwarded.
 "I would have been willing to have paid reasonable freight bill. The result Is that automobile owners in- stead of shipping used cars, in many cases sell them and buy again, and the railroad is out the freight. The managers may know best, but the public thinks that they are killing the goose that lays the golden egg in trying to get more than the traffic will bear out of the shipper"

Charleston, S. c., Dec. 6-Prison
management was discussed tonight in
the House of Governors after an ad-
dress on this theme by Carey A. Har-
dee, governor of Florida.
Governor Hardee said that princi-
pally there are two schools of thought
with relation to prisons, the senti-
mental and the practical. The former
lavish sympathy upon the criminal,
creating a lack of respect for the
law. The practical criminologists
believe that society is entitled to pro-
lection from the criminal and that
the widows and orphans of murder
victims should. be fully protected.
Governor Hardee declared that toe
much coddling of criminals belittles
the law and "kills the fear of the
law in the souls Of the weak men,
He emphasized his opinion that
convict should not be self sustaining
but should return a profit to his
state in compensation for the money
, spent in assuring him fair and I'M

offenders Governor Hardee said thai
he favored correctional institutions

when the removal came up for con-
firmation. Although the suspension
was approved and severe repri-
mand voted Tor the officer council
voted to reinstate him on the force
"as of tonight" by vote of nine to
six. Those voting for reinstatement
were Aldermen Dineen, Brinson, Gay
Johnson, Mesmer, Sap, Waites,
Browning and Nottage. Those
against reinstatement were Alder
men Merrill, Mullis, Pierce, Pursley,

as a number of interested spectators
were present. The mayors state

of Officer Green were that he had alb

had not reported his absence to po-

his absence eight stores along Lemon

Much of the debate centered as to
whether or not an officer should leave

Washington, Dec. 6-Launching of
the new session of congress was COM

outstanding statements on domestic
affairs. Turning to the internation-
al field the President said of the ar
mament limitation conference that
"a1 most gratifying. world accom-

also urged enactment of the measure

food relief for starving Russia, ex-
pressed satisfaction over the ma

More On Shipping Anon
Presentation later of more detailed
views on the shipping situation was
promised by the executive in declar-
ing that he opposed abbrogation of
commercial treaties provided by the
Jones act. Such abbrogations, he
said, would cause "chaos." A sug-
gestion for a plan of reimbursement
to ship operators was accepted as an
advance statement of his previously
announced views as to ship subsidies
The Presidents recommendation
were received by republican leaders
with widespread expressions of ap-
proval, although some declared that

Prompt Action Follows
Prompt response came to portions
of the Presidents recommendations
Immediately after the joint session
the senate passed a bill urged by
Secretary Hoover, as head of the
American Relief Administration, au-
thorizing donation to the administra-
ton of surplus medical and other
stores of the army.
The President in his message also
emphasized need for agricultural re-
lief. He urged improved methods
Iof distribution and marketing of
farm products, advocating legisla-
tive assistance to cooperative mark
citing. Railroad freight rates, the
executive added, were subjects of
;just complaint by farmers.
Other recommendations of the
President included reclamation and
irrigation development, especially of
southern swamp lands, highway i'm
provement and measures to aid the
unemployment situation.

BRITISH AND JAPS TRYING
TO ENLIST UNCLE SAM IN
SOME KIND OF AN ENTENTE
Substitute For Anglo
Japanese Treaty Is
Dwarfing Ratio


Washington, Dec. 6-The effort to
find an acceptable substitute for the
Anglo-Japanese alliance has so di-
verted the attention of many of the
arms delegates as to throw even the
question of the naval ration tempOra-
rily into the background.
Both the Japanese and the British
have shown a desire to include the
United States in any entente that
NAV replace the alliance and a the
tative treaty draft under considera-
ton by some of the governments
concerned would provide for a quad
ruple arrangement also including
France.
What may have been the attitude
of the American candidates in the be-
hind the scenes developments having
to do with the prposal remains a
mystery. Taking the position that
no entente suggestion is formally
before them the American represen-
tatives steadifastly refused to dis
cuss publicly in any way the possi-
bility of American participation in a
political agreement regarding the
American view point the impression
is gained by the delegates of other
powers that the American plenipo,
tentiaries are feeling their way eau
tiousIv with view to sounding
American public opinion.
