SHANGHAI, May 5.-Many an old

Intervention.

The picking is too good while

brother. graft, practiced by dishon.
est politicians are in full swing and
SO long as the country remains di-
yided forty ways and the central
government continues as helpless
as a two-year-old child trying to
stop a runaway mustang, nothing
less than a miracle can cali a halt
AS things are there is a premium
on keeping the country divided.
There are any number Of Chinese
patriots who would gladly give their
lives to restore order in the land,
but the odds are too long against
them.
The country is absolutely in the
hands of the War Lords great and
small. Only leaders who are backed
up by troops have any considerable
influence. Civil goyernors-where
civil governors function at all,
apart from the military governors
have as much influence in their
provinces as a tender young jack
rabbit has over a bulldog
Almost every province OF the
score China boasts is running as an
autonomous nation. to all intents
and purposes. When Picking asks
for something the military govern.

request and sometimes he doesn't,
Maybe he attaches conditions; per-

wishes that favor remembered.

BIG PROFITS MADE
ON CANTELOUPES
$48, 900 Received For
Product Of 33l
Acres

MOULTRIE, August 9.-Figures
given out by G. M. Strangward, man.
ager of the Indiana Fruit company
and the Sylvester Fruit company,
both Worth county concerns. show
that the two companies shipped to-
tai of eighty cars of cantaloupees dur
ing the season just closed. Five Of
the eighty cars were of the Honey
Dew variety, the other seventy-five
being pink meat cantaloupes.
The eighty cars brought more than
$48,000 f. o. b. shipping poiny. The
cantaloupes were shipped to North
ern and Eastern markets. They were
produced on 331 acres. The crates
and paper wrappers in which the
cantaloupes were packed for shipping
cost $4,000. Eighty persons were en-
Gagged in the task of gathering the
fruit during the shipping season, but
despite the expense involvea the
eighty cars yielded big profit.
Farm experts here declare that
with no other crop could the owners
of the $50 acres of land have obtain
ed greater net revenue. The high
est price paid for any of the eighty
cars to go forward from the two
farms was $1,185 and the lowest was
1925, and the average price was a
little more than 5000 a car. The
freight averaged $500 a car and the
high rate of course, was figured
against the purchase price at the
shipping point.
