There is no system. there is no law,

United States can put heavier costs

sell them in the markets Of the world
against foreign producers. who. get

lighter costs, can sell them at lower

We are losing foreign markets that
have belonged to US, losing them at

German goods and other goods are
offered in Europe, Asia. Africa, even
South America. at cheaper bargains
than the American producer can
match with his high cost goods. We
shall have TO lose all those competi-

get our costs down where we can sell

Radicalism Defeated in Italy.

The returns from the elections III
Italy Sunday. although not fully
compiled, are complete enough 10 as
sure Il decided victory for Premier
GIoLrTTI and the Nationalist coali-
ton party which includes his support
ers The attempt Of the Government
forces to reduce the number OF the
Socialist Deputies, one of the main
features of the election. was success
full. The Socialists and Communists
together won 134 seats. This will
represent their full strength in the
next Chamber and means a falling
off, according to the present esti-
mates, of about thirty-five from their
representation in the last Chamber.
The campaign was one Of the most
bitterly contested ever held in Italy.
The wisdom Of dissolsing the Cham
Der and calling the election for last
Sunday was questioned even by many
of Premier GIoLITTf's warmest sup
porters. His majority, however. was
not strong enough. he considered. for
carrying out all the measures which
be desired TO introduce. He had pur-
sued the policy OF letting the radical
groups have a free hand. allowing
them to seize factories and farms
without any strong governmental in
terference. They did what he had
expected they would do-permitted the
italian people to sec that they were
guided and directed from Moscow and
that the real result of their radical
ism would be the elevation of LENINE
and TRoTzKY TO the actual control OF
ITALY.
Then came the means OF retaiia-
tion. When the Fascist, represent
ing the extreme Nationalist elements
and largely made up of former ser
tice men. began their attacks upon
the Communists, they, too, had a free
hand. They broke up Communist
clubs, exiled men suspected of being
emissar-es of LENINE. and engaged in
open conflicts with Socialists without
the Government showing any desire
to curb them. The two groups fought
the matter out themselves, the Gov
ernment apparently being only spec
tator, and the Natlonalists, with the
Fascist as their militant representa-

INTERSTATE FARM
CONGRESS

J Cotton planters visiting the
Interstate Far m Congress, Sep
tember 1917, will be interested
in motion pictures and lectures
on boil weevil poison, to be- given
by the expert in charge of the
Delta Experiment Station. This
is just one of the many educatio-
nal features arranged for what
is expected to be the greatest
gathering of farmers ever held
in the South.
The thousands of cotton farm
ers who are summoned here to
discuss ways and means for de.
veloping a chain of warehouses
in which to keep their crop
while awaiting higher prices,
will find these demonstrations
especially profitable. Better
prices and bigger crops cropsis
quite a promise, but those who
are behind the Interstate Farm
Congress say that this is one
promise that will be made good.
This is only one phase of the
Congress. Another will be the
developement of better market
ing conditions of vegetables,
which would mean lower prices
to the consumer and higher pri-
ces to the farmer. Retail prices
are high because poordistri.
button system has been develop
ed. They don't get proper re-
turns. because they don't pro-
duce and ship in sufficient vol
ume to have a voice in fixing the
prices.
All these weaknesses are to be.
discussed by an imposing group.
of experts, and the remedies are.
TO be pointed out. Better rela-
tions areto be developed between
the farmers and the middlemen.
The railroads have cut round
trip rates 25 per cent. Here is
how to take advantage of the re-.
duction. Buy a ticket to New Or
