CUTTING OFF THE DOGS TAIL
TOO CLOSE TO HIS HEAD

Commenting on the drop in prices
and the decentralization of the iron
trade, the Matthey Addy Company of
Cincinnati says:
"When the collapse came it surpris-
ed the trade, for there had been a
widespread idea that the decline to a
normal level would be long, easy
end gradual affair. 1t has not proved
to be that way. Perhaps it is just as
we'll. If the dogs tail had to be cut
off, why cut it off by inches? Better
do it with one stroke"
No one who has been reader of
the Manufacturers Record during the
last twelve months should have been
at all surprised at the sudden drop,
for not a week passed without our
warning the country of an inevitable
collapse if the Federal Reserve Board

ILL IN BALTIMORE
Physicians Diagnose Case of Sleep
ING Sickness-Rex Rice Being
Treated at Johns Hopkins
Hospital

Greenville, Jan. 23.-Physicians at
Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltimore
have diagnosed the puzzling afflic-
ton of Rex Rice, prominent young
resident of Greenville, as sleeping
sickness, but it is believed that he
has an excellent chance for recov-
ery. This is the information brought
to the city today by Max Rice, a
brother. Mr.. Rice suffered from
undue drowsiness week or two ago
and physicians here were unable to
diagnose the disease. Upon their ad-
vice, relatives carried him to Baltl-
more hospital, where he has been
sleeping, except at very brief inter
walls, when awakened, for almost a
week. During examinations by spe-
cialists at the hospital, Mr.. Rice has
been unable to remain awake longer
than to answer one or two questions
This is the first case of sleeping
sickness which has developed in
Greenville or in this section of the
South, so far as can be learned
here. 1t is believed that the case IS
a light one, but there seems to be
no doubt that it is sleeping sick
ness.
Physicians have told Mr.. Rice's
relatives that he will likely have to
remain in the hospital for several
weeks, but that his complete recovery
is objected. Mr.. Rice is president
and manager of the Judson Mill store
here, and is a son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joel T. Rice, prominent residents OF
Bolton. He is about 80 years old,
is unmarried and is talented vocal
ist, singing in church choirs and at
numbers of musical concerts here.

MANY OFFICERS
MAY LOSE JOBS
Republicans Have Not Decided on
Action-Some Big Places

Washington, Jan. 22.-Dipping
their brushes into the probability
that the Republican majority in the
senate would refuse to confirm
most of the 10000 nominations
made by President Wilson, some ad-
ministration officials painted today
picture of a creaking government
machine, foundering along for
some time after March 4 with a lot
of important cogs missing.
Failure of the Republican sena-
tors at secret conference to reach
any decision as to confirmation, set
the canvas. Republican leaders
weren't inclined to take the picture
seriously, however.
The question of the nominations
occupied much of the time of the
Republican conference. The official
announcement said no decision was
reached, but some of those attend
ing the meeting said privately that
there had been a t'acit" agreement
for the Republican members of
committees to take the nominations
coming under their jurisdiction,
study conditions in the executive de-
partments and then determine
whether failure to keep the Demo-
cratic appointees in office after
March 4, would result in any EN-
barrassment Of those departments.
A young regiment Of officials now
in Washington are holding on by
virtue of recess appointments.
Should the senate fail to act on
their nominations before this con-
gress quits on March 8, it is ex-
planned that they will automatically
be out of jobs, under the law. These
officials include all seven members
of the shipping board, two men,
bers of the interstate commerce
commission, three chief Officials in
the patent office and five assistant
secretaries of the treasury.
Then too, there are lot Of post
masters, federal judges, marshals,
federal attorneys, registers Of land
Offices and the like over the country
who are in the same position. Some
of these are ,classed as emergency
cases and the Republican leaders
have indicated that where there is
found to be an emergency action
will be taken.
Confirmation of President Will
sons appointments by the senate
would carry some of these officials
over into the Republican admin
stration for terms ranging from one
year to four years in excess Of the
four for which Mr.. Harding has
been elected. Senator Lodge of Mas
sachusetts, the Republican leader
has announced that he does not pro-
pose to have the Democratic admin
stration fill up a lot of bureau
chiefships in the army and navy for
the incoming administration and in
this he has the support of his Repub-
lican colleagues. !

joyed being together to play games.
After SO much pleasure and fun

continued its defation policy. In at
tempting to cut off the dogs tail they
cut it off just back of the ears, and
there is not much left of the dog.
Trimming the dogs tail might have
been helpful if it had been confined
exclusively to the tail, but it was dis
as.rous to the dog to have his tail
eliminated at his ears.
In the same circular letter the Mat
thew Addy Company says:
Zone thing is certain about 1921
and that is the old competitive condi-
tions will be restored. 1t will take
salesmanship to sell iron. 1t will
take good business ability to conduct
business. The careless, easy-go-lucky
ways which the war brought are def
initely ended. In war times every
thing went Business came so easy
that selling was all but a lost art.
Profits were so large that a damn
the-expense' policy was general. A
few more years such as we have had,
and honest, conservative business
methods would have been forgotten.
So, now that we know the picnic is
over, the iron trade must buckle
down again to hard work. These are
compensating features of great val
ue."
1t is true that very lively hustling
will be necessary during the coming
year by every concern which expects
to get it's share of business. The
buyers are no longer hunting the
seller. Salesmanship will once more be
at premium but it must be real sales
manship. All the initiative and the
energy which the best salesman can
develop will be essential during the
competitive period which is ahead OF
US, when every concern that expects
tc prosper will have to hustle at a
livelier pace than for several years.
Salesmanship is not only the sales
manship of the individual, but sales
manship through the right kind of
publicity work and service. Never
was thare a time when business need
ed advertising to greater extent
than it will need it during the coming
twelve months. The man who fails to
advertise under the impression that
there is not much business to be had
will not even get his share of the les
sened business and be badly left, as
will be the concern that drops all Of
! it's statesmen because it is afraid they
cannot win expenses. There may be
times when the actual scarcity of
money or the inability to make col
! lections will cause some concerns to
reduce their selling force and others
! to reduce their Advertising, but those
who have to do it will be at disad-
vantage in the competition which is
ahead of US. The creative work OF
salesmanship and of publicity is the
secret Of work which will tell in
bringing about a revival of activity

CUT OUT FERTILIZERS.

Those men who are urging the
farmers of this section to cut the
acreage to be planted in cotton this
year may, in our judgment, accom-
plish better results by tackling the
fertilizer end of the discussion.
Into every bale of cotton in this
section produced last year there en-
tered a charge Of some thirty to thir'
ty-fve dollars for commercial fer:
tilizers. There is no hope, we think
that anybody is going to reduce the
acreage to be planted in cotton to
any very great extent. Those who
are advocating this program of reduc-
ton will not themselves reduce the
acreage to any such extent.
To reduce the acreage to be plant
ed in cotton to one-third Of the total
acreage planted in all crops would
be suicidal in our judgment. The
larger farmers, if they were so dis
posed, might select eight or ten acres
of good land, and by fertilizing it
highly might make fairly good
crop, perhaps nearly an average crop.
On the other hand the farmer who
rents, or who owns his own lands
and who finds himself embarrassed
financially just now and who can
not buy fertilizers, would not be
able to produce one-third of crop.
While in the one case there would be
no great loss, in the other case there
would be loss, further financial suf-
fering and an accumulation Of debts.
We are in favor of reducing the
acreage to lbe planted in cotton in
this section to some extent. We fav-
or planting more corn and an effort
to produce more meat and more of
the things to live on. But if there is
to be a reduction in the amount of
cotton to be produced the present
year which shall affect all as nearly
alike as possible, it may be brought
about by a reduction in the amount
of commercial fertilizers to be used
on the farms. If this can be limited
the present year, and we believe the
people are determined in some cases
to reduce it., and in other cases nee
essity will force the reduction, the
amount of cotton produced here will
be reduced from twenty to twenty
five per cent, which is as large re-
duction as is necessary to sustain
prices and at the same time as large
reduction as some people may make
and continue to exist.
AS we said sometime ago different
remedies must be applied to different
cases. But the reduction in the a
mount of fertilizers to be used is as
nearly a universal remedy, one that
will fit all cases, do good in all cases
and incur as little damage in any and
all cases, as may be suggested.
Instead of having charge of thir-
ty dollars per bale on every bale of
cotton produced in Abbeville Coun-
ty the present year, We may reduce
the charge to ten dollars, or even
less, and by so doing a very consid
cradle amount of money will be saved
to the people of the county, the a.
mount, of cotton will be so reduced
that the price should be boosted, and
there will be no ground for charge
of unfairness in the applied remedy.

FIRST ONE-MAN
CAR COMPL LIANT
No Hand Hold Bars on Bridge Line
Cars-HUntoon Says Company
Plans Correction.

The first complaint to be regis
tered in Rock Island in relation to
the one-man operation of street
cars, since the bridge line was
changed to this style was regis
tered with Mayor Harry NJ. Schriv-
er today.
The complaint was over the alb
sence of bars for hand holds be-
side the entrance door to aid pas
sengers in boarding and leaving
the cars.
Older persons are said to have
been meeting with serious diff
Guilty in getting on and off the cars.
Mayor Harry NJ. Schriver imme-
diately took the matter up with
John G. Huntoon, vice president of
the Tri-City Railway company. and
the mayor was told that the trou-
BILE over which complaint is made
is to be corrected.
Mr.. Huntoon said that when the
cars were remodeled for operation
by one man it was found that the
old hand hold bars would have TO
be removed However, he said that
it was not the company's intention
to continue operation of the bridge
line cars without such hand holds,
as orders were given to workmen
to make new bars. These will be
placed on the cars as soon as they
are completed, Mr.. Huntoon stated.

yves, $50 each for manholes and
Sc cubic yard for stone excava-
ton.
The other bid was for 1.50 a foot
