"There is not one Democrat in the

treaty but will disapprove Of a great
many things in the treaty. Some
Democrats are voting for it, as
the lesser Of two evils, as they see
it.
In fact, even a number of Repub-
licans who are supporting the treaty
are either apologetic or lacking in en-
thusiasm. The Republicans are try
ing to rush through the treaty with

YOU AND I
CANNOT BUY GOODS, TO
FURNISH JOBS UNTIL ALL
PRICES AND COSTS SEEK
SAME LEVEL.

THE only thing that can end UNI
u employment is employment. The
only thing that can provide employ
ment is widespread buying by the
public. \ The unemployment confer
ence knows this. 1t is obvious. Soon
we shall have "drives" to stimulate
buying But that can only be tenn
porary stimulant.
A blind man can see why buying
is stagnant.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
says that wholesale prices are above
1913 prices in these percentages
House furnishings 1870, building ma.
terial, 98, clothes and #elothing 70,
fuel and lighting 80, metals and
metal produtcs 20, food So, farm
products 18.
How can the farmer, getting only
18 per cent more for his crop than
he got in 1913, buy, for instance,
house furnishings wholesaleI at 130
per cent higher price than IN 1918?
There will be no general buying
movement, to furnish employment, un-
til all prices seek the same level in
comparison with pre-war prices. That
will necessitatd equal lowering of
costs is all industries. Will it come?
Yes.
Water seeks its own level, and
price deflation is the water of
economics.

Picking Practically Completed
Market Inactive At Week
End

Cotton receipts at the three Ameri-
Gus warehouses reached the 10000
bale mark Saturday afternoon. At
noon the receipts stood at 11,908I
bales, and it was said that more than
100 bales were in sight for the after
noon. However, receipts were much
lower than a week ago, having been
tapering off rapidly this week.
The market was inactive Saturday.
Spot cotton, good middling basis, was
quoted at 20 cents, but this was nomi-
nal, as there was practically no trad
ine. The growers We're not offering
at 20 cents, practically all that had
posed of during the week, and the
buyers were not actively bidding. The
dullness of the market resulted from
the coming of two government re-
ports on Monday-ginnings, which
will be announced at a. m. in Wash
ington, and condition, which will be
announced at 10 a. m. Practically
all operators were waiting at the
weekend for these reports. As a
consequence the future market sag
ged bit at Saturdays close.
The cotton in this section of the
state is now practically all picked and
most of it ginned. Thos. G. Hudson,
of Americus, former state commits

SURPRISE IN ATLANTA

ATLANTA, Oct. News of the

in Republican affairs for several
wears. For several weeks he has
been in Atlanta comforting with

Although the federal prohibition
force in Georgia was built up to a
remarkable degree of efficiency
during the administration of ID. j
CAN'T, southeastern supervisor, much
confusion followed the general reduc'
ton last spring in the number OF dry
agents. Since many men have been
dropped from the force because OF
the shortage of funds it Is admitted
in federal circles that the law has not
been nearly so effective as when more
men were in the field.
However, some of the suspended
agents have been replaced on the
payroll and genera Reorganization
of federal prohibition work is under
way. The administration of Mr.. Dis.
mukes will be observed with interest
as the dry force in this section has
been considered one of the best IN
the country :.
Director Fort has had charge of
the enforcement squad for only
few weeks. Until recently his du-
ties had to do with the supervision
of the distribution of alcohol and
similar products, but when the office
of supervising agent, held by D. );
CAN'T was abolished, he was placed
in authority over the dry agents.
