Entangling Alliances.

After practically pledging the
United States to aid France, in case
she is ever attacked again by her an
cient German foe, Secretary Charles
Evans Hughes, in an impassioned ad-
dress, we are told turned to face l.
100 persons at the disarmament con-
ference and, with uplifted hands, de-
clared: "There is no moral isolation
for this country when liberty and
justice is attacked"
We imagine Henry Cabot Lodge
sat very still when that declaration
was made by the chief of the Ameri-
can delegation. 1t has not been long
since the Senator from Massachu-
setts headed blow that killed the
Versailles peace pact so far as this
country was concerned. And what
was the chief reason for this vicious
attack on that pact, except that it
entailed this country to enter war
on foreign soil if.war came?
: We suppose that Secretary Hughes
meant something when he spoke Of
defense alliances and practically
pledged the support of the United
States to France if she should ever
need such support. We can not and
do not concede that the qualifying
word moral destroys the interna-
tional meaning of the Hughes SEN
tence. Certainly the Secretary of
State did not mean to split hairs by
declaring that if France should be at
tackled by Germany at some time in
the future, this country would be sor-
ry for France, but would stand by
and see France destroyed as it would

Bulk of sales" quotations appear

likely to, pr~e confusing to the farm
er who attempts to keep himself in
formed on selling conditions, yet q
present-day market report would not
be complete without such quotations.
If the farmer confines his attention
only to 1bulk'' and stop" sales, and
ignores the factors of quality and
weight in the market receipts, he Is
almost sure to form wrong opinion
of the actual market conditions, say
market specialists of the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
May Vary From Day to Day.
Bulk of sales figures should always
be studied in conjunction with the
quotations on grades which are based
on weight and quality. The bulk Of
sales figures may vary widely from
day to day without indicating that the
market is unstable. This situation
frequently arises from limited trade,
in low-grade hogs on the same day
that high-grade animals are finding
ready sale. The bulk of sales quota
ton for such aeday will reach rela-
lively high figure. On the following
day a larger number of low-grade ami
mails may be included in the sales and
the higher grades neglected, with the
result that the bulk Of sales quota
tions will be far below that Of the
preceding report. On sessions when
the average quality of the animals Of
fered is low the bulk of sales report
will reflect this condition, and the
farmer who has animals ready for
shipment may be misled as to the
actual state of affairs, unless he takes
into account the other factors which
have an important bearing. Because
the bulk of sales report from one mar
ket is much lower than that from an
other city he may decide to ship his
product to the market which appears
to offer the highest prices. AS a mat
ter of fact, for the grade that he has
to offer, the market quoting the lower
bulk figures may offer the higher price
to him.. 1t is undoubtedly true that
country buyers often take advantage
of low bulk of sales reports to depressi
purchasing prices in their localities.

Few Dogs Being Registered.

Edgefeld county has about 5000
dogs, only % of which have been
registered for the tax of S1.25 i'm
posed by an act of the 1920 session
of the legislature. Dog owners have
until December 31st to register their
dogs. After that time dogs found
without tags on their collars, show
ing that they have been registered,
will be reported and their, owners will
be liable to a fine not exceeding
$4,000, nor less than $500, half Of
which goes to the person reporting
the delinquent and half to the school
district in which he lives.

Shows Quality and Grades.

To be of practical use to the farmer,
the bulk Of sales quotations must be
considered With the knowledge Of what
is being offered for hogs of various
grades and qualities. Studied in this
way the bulk of sales reports are OF
material value, for they show rhe quail
ity and grades that make up the prin-
cipal supply at any market for any
period. Bulk quotations also give q
more lucid idea of general trade con-
ditions on those sessions of the mar
ket when the values from the opening
to the closing vary widely.
The clarifcation and standardiza-
ton of market reports and classified
tions throughout the whole country is
one of the big tasks on which the bu-
reau of markets, United States De
partment of Agriculture, is working
When this has been accomplished and
the livestock trade begins to grade IT.:
receipts with reasonable uniformity
the need for bulk Of sales quotations
will not be nearly so great as at
present.

FARMERS TARIFF BILL :

Washington, Jan g. 6.-Senator pcnrose,
chairman Of the Senate finance com
mittee; announced today he would sup
post the House emergency tariff bill, for
the relief of farmers, although he hoped for
certain modification Of the rates.
The Senator's announcement was made
ut the conclusion of>Grst. open hearings on
the measure by his committee. In a
formal statement he said he desired To
correct "a misunderstanding which seems
to have gotten abroad concerning the
status Of the so-ealled emergency tariff.
He denied that there was any difference
of opinion among Republicans upon this
measure.
The Senator said there was also an un-
warranted impression of rivalry between
the east with its manufacturing industries
and the agricultural south and west as
regards the emergency bin Eastern sec
tions were in favor OF adequate protection
for the farming interests as for any other
industry, he said
There is really no difference Of opinion
among Republicans upon this measure, ="
the statement continued There have
been those who thought that the tariff qHes-
tion ought 10 be taken up with the general
revenue legislation when . new congress
met with good working majority IN all
branches On the other hand il Is strong
~ and fairly contended that this measure Is
an emergency one urgently needed by cer-
tain industries in the country, chiefly
those of livestock and agriculture.
