MALVERN, ARK, April 80, 1921.
Editor Iron County Register-When
you opposed the pardon Of Debs, I
recognized the fact that you were
technically right, though morally
wrong.
Debs had injured no one, but he
had violated statute of the United
States, and that is inexcusable, how
ever infamous the law may be. If we
are to have constitutional govern
ment in America we must obey the
laws. Not only the laws we like but
the laws we hate and dispise. The
most Infamous feature of the espion-
age law, is its denial of the right OF
protest.
When we cannot protest against q
law we disapprove, then we become
slaves. If the language used by the
correspondent Of the Globe Democrat
against the Volstead act had been
used against the so called espionage
law, the writer thereof would now be
behind the bars, where he deserves
to be, just as much as Debs deserves
to be there. And you, sir, my broth
or, are guilty Of counciling disobed-
ience to the laws of your country,
and as you we'll know that leads to
''anarchy and ruin."
There is legal way to fight objec-
tionable laws, and no other way is
excusable. The article by Mr.. Ruby
against the inheritance tax sounds to
me much like tempest in a teapot.
But the writer says "Nor can any
reader be found SO ignorant-as not
to see the common sense presented by
Judge Winslow."
may be ignorant; feel sure that
the half don't know would make
several large libraries; but just when
did any tax law cease to be confisca-
tory? If you don't pay the taxes on
your presses and building you will be
turned out of doors, or the property
sold from under you. Wouldn't that
be an act of sovereignty? Wherein
lies the difference between taking q
mans property before Or after DEATH
When our forefathers organized thii
government they knew that money
would be required to maintain it
They also knew that if the raising O

contributions, the government they

Southern gardens begin to look

Middle states section are in the height
Of their glory, and the New England
gardens are just getting well started.
Ii seems TO be a foregone conclusion
On the part of most persons through
out the Southern states that southern
gardens can be grown only in the
spring and in the fall, with a few
nance hardy crops during the winter.
The farmer OF the middle section
plants his spring garden, then gets
busy with farm crops, and very little
further attention is given the garden,

Of the Northwest where the grow

the middle section, however, two
crops can often be grown on the same
land, and, more important still, a con-

bles can be had by making successive

COST OF PRODUCTION VARIES
Specialists Point Out FalIacy of Con-
siderng Average as Basis
for Figuring.

The fact that there is a wide varia.
ton on individual farms in the cost
of producing any product has been
substantiated by recent cost surveys
conducted by specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture
Because of this variation, the special
its point out, il is a fallacy to consider
the average as representing the cost
of production. For example, the aver.
age cost of wheat per bushel on the
4S1 farms studied by the specialists
last year was S2.51, but more than
so per cent of the farmers concerned
produced wheat at a cost above this
figure, ranging up 70 an extreme of
$500 per bushel. Similarly the aver
age cost of cotton for the $40 farms
studied was approximately % cents
per pound, yet almost 60 per cent of
the growers had costs above this aver
age.
The department now gives the re
suits of cost studies in the form OF
frequency tables in order TO show the
proportion of a product that is pro-
duced at or below a given cost and
to call attention TO the Importance OF
a bulk-line cost rather than average
cost in relation to price.

100000 Then he began selling his
property TO pay off the note.
The lower court and the Supreme
court refused to grant a divorce, but
they divided the property as nearly
equal as it was possible to do so and
compelled Putnam to pay all of the
costs of the litigation. The court held
that the wife had been just as help
full in accommodating the property as
had Putnam himself and was entitled
TO just as much of 1t as he was.

WOMAN CRITIClZES HER SEX
Australian Writer Seems to Hold the
Opinion That Women as a Whole
Are Unreasonable.

Women" says the average man in
his moments of irritation, ARE un-
reasonable. They drive fellow
mad"
And the same man is instantly
swept by such a hurricane of abuse
as TO make him sorry once more that
he has spoken.
There is no charge which the mod
ern woman resents more than that Of
unreasonableness. She prides herself
on her cool head and capable judg-
ment. She expresses contempt Of
her sister of other times-an I'M
balanced creature, with no mind Of
her own about anything, nor desire to
develop one. Yet. despite her pro-
fessed common sense, one wonders
now and then whether the modern
woman is actually as reasonable as
she imagineS.
We stand up for our rights nova
days. We claim complete equality
with man; freedom TO enter all his
empires, and even to govern them if
we feel disposed. Yet we aren't con-
tent with what we get.
He makes way for US; he gives US
our chance TO rival him In all that he
does; he mostly manages to curb his
tongue when it would cry out fOllies
too bitterly. All this we consider our
due and give no thanks for it.
