PRICE OF LAND

"The price of farm land is too high
and it has got TO come down before
there is a great deal of changing" said
Mr.. J. C. Wilborn yesterday.
How do you know that the price is
too high?" asked the reporter.
OF course it: is understood that Mr
Wilhorn has bought and sold more
thousands of farm land than any other
man in York county. and II anyDody
is a fair authority on values it shou!d
be Mr.. Wilborn. The question OF the
reporter WAS merely intended to draw
him out.
well" he replied. II have had n
number of cases recently in when the
owner of the land wanted 10 sell ana
the would-be purchaser was very anN-
ious O buy; but somehow l just coulu
not ct them together. In some cases
the difference between them was Only
3 per cent. or such a matter; pul liiat
was as close rs they could get.
but why do yon say that laho Is
too high?" the reporter asked.
AS Il general rule-aS near genera
rule as you can get at, repllcd MI
Wilborn, "an acre OF land is worth q
bale of cotton. If cotton is worth lO
cents pound. land that VII! ylela d d
bale TO the acre is worth $50 and II
cotton is worth 40 cents the same lana
is worth 5000"
"How long would you say that II
would take to pay for farm OH thal
bass?" the reporter asked.
"Abnut five wears" said Mr.. Wilborn.
"Of course. continued Mr.. Wilborn. |

There is talk and then some about
abolishng war, but Representative
Knight, Of Ohio. hit the nail Squarely
on the head when he said that when
this country goes to real universal
conscription and cUnScripts labor
along with the young of this country,
and conScripts wealth along with the
fighting forces of this country, ana
when you shall call to the colors first
those between 80 and so, and when you
shall make it impossible that $4,000
new millionaires shall arise out Of the
hell of war, as have arisen out of this
conflict, then l say to you, sir, that the
day YOU mention will have arrived. 1t
is to strike at the profit Of war. not at
the means of defense, that l offer TINS
(to have all material pro-
duced in the government arsenals), and
| say to you. gentlemen, that until this
country begins its fight against war all
along the line, all the dreams of Hague
and international assem-
blies will be but the vain whlsperlnGs
of the air and we will continue to hear
voices and 10 speak language when
munition makers can understand.

Right honest now, is the chautauqua
so-called, educational or dissipational?
No, we have no crouch about it. Rec
reation and entertainment are neces-
sary and there is nothing wrong about
any Of the entertainment that has
been presented by. the cha utauqua::.'>l n
fact it has all been very good. But
why should we seek to flatter and ca
jole public patronage on educational
grounds. It has been held by those
of old that there is no royal road TO
knowledge. Has this been changed
and if so since when? Yes, by all
means let the people have the chau-
tauqua if they want it; but don't let
us teach them that they are entitled
to a university degree for having at
tended. Also as Il community enter
prise, are there not ways in which the
same amount of money can be spent
to more practical advantage?

to Herbert Quick, Hoovt

According to Herbert Quick, Hoover
has succeeded in teaching Europeans
to eat corn bread. He set up some
little mills in Belgium and began
grinding corn into meal. The people
took on readily. Later Howard, head
Of the American Farm bureau asso-
citation started movement as the re-
suit of which 500 tons of corn were
contributed free by western farmers
Carl Vrooman, formerly assistant sec
rctary of the department of agriculture
took hold and pushed until the starV-
ing people were soon consuming 6'ooo
tons Of corn Il month. They are DONG
that now. With the construction OF
Federal machinery through which the
people of Europe generally will be able
to buy on credit the volume of corn
exports can easily be increased 10
many times 5000 tons i month. The
purpose of the Foreign Trade Flnanclal
corporation is to enable the people OF
Europe not only to buy corn but othef
American farm products without limit.

DOWN IOCKHART WAY

It takes a. staunch and sturdy flivver
to hold up over such q rough road as
has to be travelled in going from York
Vile to Lockhart, especially from
Sharon to Lockhart; but if the flivver
will hold and one is willing to take
the rostling and jostling there is much
that is interesting to see along the road
side It is wonderful stretch OF
country. Beautiful country homes and
fine farm lands dot the road on each
side and there is all kinds of evidence
of prosperity, despite eleven cents cot
ton that cost from twenty to thirty
cents to make But the road-well it
isn't. Big holes and little holes and
sharp rocks and bum bridges. Looks
like the Germans or somebody had
been dropping bombs along there al
most all the way. One sees, lots OF
folks walking along the road from
Sharon to Lockhart. There's q rea-
son. Maybe the walking is safer. If
some enterprising youngster would put
up a garage right out there in the
country somewhere between Sharon
and Locl1hart he'd make a killing. He
wouldn't have to do much advertising
either.
For years Bullock's Creek township
farmers have been noted for the fine
oat crops they make. This year will
be no exception to the rule, judging
from the stands now. John L. Rainey,
J. \. Russell, Sam Blair, John Blair,
Bob Mitchell, E. 3. Mitchell, ]. E.
Latham, P. B. Good, Kelly Inman. Mr..
Crawford, Mr.. Trammell, the Ratch-
fords and BankheadS and all those
folks all the way down to Lockhart
have fine prospects for oats. Lots Of
vetch mixed in with them in good
many places and the vetch is beauti-
full color just now.
It isn't all cotton through that coun-
try. There are numerous patches of
corn. It is looking good, too. Cotton
seems to be coming along since the
rains. Grass is coming along too.
Farmers say that if the rains keep up
a few days longer they are going to
have more than they can do. One who
knows 'em laughs when they say that.
Every year in May they say that.
One stops a. Bullocks Creek church
and as the fiivver is parked in the

Mapleton, July 20.-Who said that
Mapleton has not got a real ball
team? Perhaps he attended the ball
game Sunday and witnessed the de-
feat handed out to st. Clair gang by
Pongo Starkey's All Star Marroons
1t was a real ball game. The reason
is written in the battling hooks of
RUDE Dietz and nine innings fraugnt
with intensive swat:ing. Nobody be-
came sick. as was prophesied by the
st. Clair correspondent, although sew
eral noted doctors were present ready
to administer aid
Dietz pitched one of his master
piece games and sent fourteen men
to the bench via the strike out route.
RUDE is in class by himself when
it comes to pitching real ball. Rine-
hart handled the receiving end OF
the line in creditable manner, be-
sides distinguished himself with the
bat, securing a triple and homer.
Big Bill Fiske was also at home with
the club securing two base hit, be-
sides bringing in three counters. Fol
