BLOW At CAPITALISM
lenine's Beautiful Scheme Puts End to
All Possibility Of Laying Away
Any Money.

Among the many strange fruits of
the war is the first national legislation
on record that frankly champions the
Prodigal Son and makes frugality not
only undesirable, but also impractical
BILE. This law, according to recent
news from Copenhagen, has been pro-
mulgated by-yes, Of course-by the
inspired statesmen Of the Soviets.
They are issuing a new currency
that's guaranteed to be specific cure
for all the Ills Of capitalism. A differ
ent series Of notes comes u each
month and every series has a different
color. Besides, a glorious innovation
In finance Is brought to pass through
the proviso that every note becomes
null, void, invalid, absolutely worthless
at the expiration Of the month Tor
which it was emitted. Z
Result: The social millennium! All
July wages. salary, profits, or income
received in pale green July currency
must be paid out by. July 81. 1t can't
be exchanged after that date for the
glowing pink Of Augustus issue; and,
furthermore, 1t will seldom be accept
ed at its full face value, even in July,
by any concern not thoroughly soviet
lied. Thus all Of Comrade Lenine's
official, commercial, Industrial, or agr1-
cultural undertakings are assured Of
ample savings, the creation of capital
becomes t~henceforth impossible.-New

Landed Freak Fish.

A wearied marine monster Numbered
into the net of a San Diego, Cal, fish
erman not long ago. On being pulled
into the fishing smack by the aston
ished captain, it was found to measure
a little more than 15-feet long, and in
general CONFORMATION to resemble a
shark, reports Popular Mechanics Mag
azine. It's upper jaw was surmounted,
however, by a clumsy-looking horn Of
solid bone. A month after its destruc-
ton in a fertilizer plant, a prominent
scientist notified the fishing captain
that he had caught a female Of the
species basking shark, of which only
six are known to have been taken dur
ing the history Of the worlds fishing
industry.

Odd Beer Labels.

In certain American circles where
bottled beer would readily circulate
as money, If the'laws were more oblig-
ing, immediate approval will greet the
late achievement of an Austrian brew
cry.
This concern happens to be the
Krone" brewery, and that name
means Grown" In German. Also. the
present cost of such a label as the
brewery has. been FASTING on its bot
tied product Is 10 Swiss centimes-
approximately 2 American cents, In
normal times. -
But the brewery is now cutting down
expenses and delighting connolsseurs
by decorating each quart bottle with
q one-crown note at a cost of IN
confines.

NEW SEEDLINGS FOR PASTURE
Sheep Better Suited for Grazing Than
Horses or cattle-Rye Favored
for Fall Pasture.

New seedlings Of clover and timothy
should be pastured lightly. Sheep are
better suited for this purpose than
horses and cattle. but care must be
used to prevent them grazing the new
meadows too closely. Stalk fields.
from, which the corn and stover have
been removed, furnish considerable
feed in the form Of grasses. weeds and
an occasional stalk and ear OF corn. It
is we'll to allow the stock to clean up
this feed that would otherwise go to
waste. In order to provide more good
fall grazing 1t is a good plan to SOW,
rye at the last working of the corn
crop.

Real Beer for Bavaria.

The Bavarian breweries are to re
sumo the production Of beer with an
alcoholic content Of eight per cent,
according to a statement made on
August 5 by the Bavarian minister of
agriculture, following his return from
a meeting in Berlin, where the gen.
eral food situation Of the nation had
been discussed and certain plans for
the future agreed on between the ma
tional and state authorities. He also
said that the daily bread ration was
to be raised from 200 grams to 300
grams per capita and that the state
control Of the egg market was to be
dropped in October. ~ e

Farmers Should FaniIiarize Them

ls Adapted.
such mistakes, owners Of farm wood
land should familiarize themselves
with the use for which each kind Of
timber is best adapted.
Timber that is cut In the late spring
and summer months should be handled
with special care to avoid injury, be-
cause freshly cut wood Is then more
likely to be attacked by insects and
fungi than during the colder months.
Seasoning proceeds more rapidly dur
ing the warmer season and may cause
excessive checking, which is not benef-
cial to the timber. If rightly handled.
posts. poles and logs may be cut at any
season without their durability being
affected. In no case should wood be
allowed to lie in direct contact with
the ground. The opportunity for in
sect attack and decay car be reduced
to a minimum by peeling the timbers
and o~pen-piling them off the ground In
a shaded but dry place. This, how
ever, does not retard checking OF the
wood.
Logs are sometimes stored under
water, in the hot season, to prevent
blue stain, checking, insect attack, and
decay. Painting the ends of logs with
a yellow ochre or barn paint will very
materially retard injury ny end check
ing. Painting peeled timhers with
creosote will prevent sap stain and
decay.

cally SIS to $3.50 a bale over the close
of last Friday. All months crossed
the .19 cent level. The advance was

entail and trade accounts, reflected
scare among mill interests over fu-5

price Of cotton to approximately 20,
cents a pound today on the distant
months in the contract market. Oc-
tober was the strongest month and

market, which stood at wide gains be-
fore the local market opened. Ad-
vices from American mill centers told
of much heavier trading in cotton
goods. Buying orders came from all
directions and the contract market
was in an uproar from the opening.

OPEN DOOR FAVORED -.
.> OPENED FROM WITHIN
Chief Secretary of Chinese Delega-
ton Outlines Position of His
Country

.Peking, China, Sept. 6.-China, at
the forthcoming Washington confer
ence on disarmament and Far East
ern questions, will advocate the open
door in the true sense of that term,
but opened from within by China,
declared DR.. Philip K. G. Tyau, chief
secretary of the Chinese delegation
and newly appointed minister to
Cuba, today on the eve of his depar-
ture for Washington.
The open door, he declared, as it
has been observed thus far through
the initiative Of foreign governments,
has proven to be only the securing Of
influence and special privileges,
which always will be q. stumbling
block in the way of peace in the Far
East. What China wants and hopes
the Washington conference will pave
the way for, is removal of such a
stumbling block sooner or later, DR..
Tyau continued.
Naturally, he said, these SPECIAL
privileges which are the rights of
existing treaties, can only be elm
mated, if ever, through the sympa-
thy toward China on the part Of for
eign powers. Nevertheless they are a
potential source of trouble as long
as they exist, he declared. There
fore China will welcome the wiping
out of all special privileges in China
nj the interests of peace and for the
sake of China's integrity.

Rev. Richardson At
Presbyterian Church
Well Known Pastor, Who Married
Abbeville Girl, breaches Here
Next Sunday.

The Rev. Donald w. Richardson,
d. D., of Nanking, China, will preach
at the Presbyterian church here next
Sunday morning.
DR.. Richardson is vice president OF
the Nanking Theological seminary.
This seminary is said to be the
largest seminary in the East, and
last year had lat scholars, with 22
in the graduating class. 1t is con-
trolled by the Northern and Southern
Presbyterian church and the North
ern and Southern Methodist chucrh:
Each church gives two professors to
the seminary. -
DR.. Richardson was formerly, a
member of the Arsenal Hill Presby-
terian church, Columbia, and at
tended the Presbyterian high school,
while DIR. G. A. Blackburn was pas
tor of the church. DR.. Blackburn soon
discovered that this young student
had an unusually bright mind, and ne
was instrumental in getting him to
enter Davidson college, where for
four years he made the highest av-
eraee ever made in that college. He
studied languages for one year at
Johns Hopkins, and then went to
Princeton, where he took his M. A.
and B. D. degrees. He won the fel-
lowship for his class, which gave him
one year in Germany. After return
ing from Germany he accepted pas
torate at Greer, though he had
been offered professorships in many
colleges in this and foreign coua
tries. 49,.
He married Miss Virginia Nell
waine, the sister of Mrs. Ollie Muller
and Miss Orene McIlwaine of Able
vile. -
After years of successful pastor
al work he volunteered for for
eign service and was sent to China.
Soon after he began his work in
China he was put in charge Of
boys school at Chinkiang. The
church has never been able to equip
this school to meet the demands
made upon it. Ever since it was
opened it has been crowded to ca
pacity, and DR.. Richardson has been
forced to turn away students year
after year. -. ',. ...
DR.. Richardson will make his home
in Richmond during his years fur
Tough in America, though much of
his time will be taken up filling
speaking engagements. .
Those who knew Donald Richard
SON as boy have watched his career
with great interest, and he will be
heard with interest Sunday.

TO DECIDE TODAY
FOR FUTURE PLAN
OF BRITISH CABINET
WILL DECIDE WHETHER TO
CONTINUE NEGOTIATIONS
WITH sINN FEM IRELAND ON
ANY BASIS. .. :!

-
British cabinet will be called upon
to reach a decision Wednesday Ell
ther to continue negotiations with
Sim Fein Ireland on the basis Of
'the consent of the governed" or
issue an ultimatum to the Irish re-
publicans to accept or reject the
governments proposal looking to a
settlement Of the Irish question. The
reply Of Eamon De Valera and his
associates to the latest note from
Prime Minister Lloyd George, made
public here yesterday, did not break
off negotiations with the British gov
ernment, but it was admitted here
today that the situation had lost
none Of it's gravity. ..:.'
There appeared no thought of re-
treat expressed in the Sim Fein re-
ply to the prime minister, and it
seemed the situation remained as it
was before the last exchange of let
ters between Dublin and London.
There. was a disposition here today
to think that the negotiations would
continue, but it was apparent that
the parties in the controversy had
not reached anything like common
understanding which would serve as
a basis for further parleys. Patience
was counselled, however, in the hope
that some way out Of the maze might
be found.
Dispatches from Ireland would
seem to reflect a desire of the Sim
Fein to bring Ulster, or at least the
counties of Armagh and Fernnagh,
into the Irish republican fold. Mich
ael Collins, minister of finance in the
cabinet Of ,Eamon De Valera and
commander-in-chief of the Repub-
lcan army, spoke at Armagh and
made an appeal to Ulster to stand
with southern Ireland against par
tition. At the same meeting Owen
O'Duffey, chief liaision officer for
northern Ireland in the republican
army, threatened Ulster with an in
creased boycott, if she did not "come
into united Ireland" adding, accord
ing to reports:
eff that is unsuccessful, we will
bring lead against her."
Sir James Craig, premier Of VI
ster has not shown the slightest indi-
cation that he intends to meet the
Sim Fein leaders in peace converse
tions.
With the exception Of the Morn
ing Post, which said, sit Is impos-
sFble to make terms with a rattle
SNAKE" London newspapers this
morning made a united plea for for
bearance in hope that common
ground might yet be found.
"The last sentence of MIR. De Va
lera's letter. said the Express, makes
it imperative that the door to future
negotiations should not be closed.
Ireland is not an alien enemy. We
must look on her as an indulgent
father regards wayward son
There must be no return of conflict
|until all other means have been ex-
ho,,utod
