Cause OF Earthquakes.

Modern geological science holds that
earthquakes are due to "faulting."
Faults" are breaks in the strata of
the earth's surface, the broken edges
slipping past each other so that the
same rock is found ut different levels
on opposite sides Of the fault. These
breaks create weak places In the
earths crust, and from time to time
more slipping occurs. When this hap
pens. an earthquake of greater or less
violence is the result.

HOW DO YOU DO?

This is a fine day and opportun-
ity is knocking at our door with a
bang. Never before in The history
of Alma have we had such an op-
portunity presented to us.
Most of us work like Trojans
good deal of the time to make from
seven to ten per cent on our invest
ment, and occasionally one of us
buys a gold brick or a watered oil
well and lets go the savings of life
time so quickly that we gasp for
breath and wonder why the Fool
Killer hesitates to trike.
But today we are presented with
a brand new chance for investment
with unlimited possibilities and no
chance to lose. For every dollar
that we invest in the Alma College
endowment fund, someone outside of
Alma will invest ten dollars, and all
that investment will be spent here,
largely to our benefit.
This investment will mean that
Alma College will be greatly en-
larged and that two or three times
the present number of students will
come Ito Alma from all sections, and
that not less than a half million dol
lars will be spent here each year by
the institution and the student body.
Even a blind man ought to see that
directly we will get big interest on
our Investment in increased trade.
But that is only a small part of our
opportunity. Probably the greatest
part Of this opportunity is that it
offers us a chance to show our graf
itude to our soldier boys by the
erection of a living memorial to
those who invested their lives in Lib
erty without a moments hesitation,
that we might enjoy freedom from
the rule of the Hun.
We never can pay the debt we owe
60 those who died in freedoms cause
but we can show TO all the world,
through all the years, our apprecia
tion Of their splendid sacrifice. And
we car also show respect and do
service to those who returned to us,
spared by the demcn of war.
The greatness Of America is not
in her material wealth, but in the in
telligence, the honor, the integrity,
and The courage of her men and
women, and hereby lies another great
part Of this opportunity which
knocks at our doors today. By a
small investment from each one of
us chance for education will be af-
forded to thousands, and these men
and women who receive this oppor-
tunity at our hands will go out TO
make and keep our country clean,
and strong, and great.
How do you today, and what will
you do today? Well that depends
upon your vision and your attitude
toward life. There is no question
but that we have a great opportunity
to do something really worth while
that will show our gratitude and
demonstrate our sense of apprecia-
ton for our soldier boys. We have
an opportunity to very greatly help
our city and Gratiot county, and
lastly we have an opportunity to en-
large our own vision of life by in
vesting in the safest, surest, and
most enobling cause ever presented
for our consideration. 1t is not
gift that we are asked for, but rather
we arc offered a chance to make an
investment in good citizenship that
is bound to bring big returns to us
and ali succeeding generations, and
we can make it on the installment
plan, too.
How do you do? Why, you do
your level best, of course, like the
soldier boys did and as all good
Americans always do.

D0DsON KILLING
USE OF CALOMEL
Says Drug Is Mercury and Acts
Like Dynamite on Your :
Liver.

Dodson is making hard fight
against calomel in the South. Every
druggist has noticed greas falling off
In he sale Of calomel. They all give
the same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone
Is taking its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone Is
perfectly safe and gives better results"
said prominent local druggist. Dod-
sons Liver Tone is personally guaran-
teed by every druggist. A large bottle
costs but few cents, and If 1t fails to
give easy relief in every case of liver
slnggishness and constipation, you
have only to ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake up
feeling fine; no biliousness, sick head
ache, acid stomach or constipated
bowels. 1t doesn't grippe or cause incon-
venience all the next day like violent
calomel. Take a dose Of calomel to-
day and tomorrow you will feel weak,
sick and nauseated. Don't lose days
work Take Dodson's Liver Tone In
stead and feel fine. full Of vigor and
ambition. -Advertisement.

PROBLEM is DEFINED AS A COM.
MuNiTY TASK AND MANY
SUGGESTIONS MADE.
COMMITTEES WILL
DIRECT THE CAMPAIGN
National Conference Calls on the
Manufacturers, Wholesalers and
Retailers to Act In Re-
duction Movement.

Washington.--After adopting a pro.
gram Of emergency measures In which
all who attempt to make profits "be-
yond the requirements of safe business
practice or economic consistency" we're
condemned, and manufacturers, whole
saler and retailer were called upon to
cut prices to level at which the pub
lie might feel justified In buying, the
national conference on unemployment
voted to recess.
The Inauguration of the price-cut-
ting campaign was the feature of the
open session of the conference and
steps are now under consideration to
carry it into effect. The committee
on emergency measures by manufac-
turers, which recommended the meas
ures, will go into the retalls of the
proposition by the time the conference
reassembles. and 1t Is the hope that
a very different downward trend in
prices may be brought about and help
to bring marked increase in industrial
activity by the winter months.
Second in Importance was the am
nouncement that, in the opinion of the
conference, the carrying out of the
purely emergency measures was a
community problem, and that the re-
sponsibility was with the mayors Of
various cities. 1t is proposed that
emergency committees shall be organ
lied at once in all communities.
Secretary of Commerce Hoover, who
presided at the conference, explained
that the. program announced included
only the emergency measures recon-
mended by committees and that all
other recommendations had been re-
turned for Incorporation in supple
mentary report, which will cover per-
manent steps necessary to Industrial
reconstruction along lines which will
go to avoid serious unemployment in
the future. The program was in the
form of compilation from commit
tee report made by the organization
committee
One feature dealt with at some
length in the report was the necessity
for immediate resumption Of the con-
struction industry. High prices and
malignant combinations" in some COM
munities had held back work, 1t was
stated, and 1t was estimated that EN-
ployment for at least 100000 would
be supplied If construction were re-
sumed. Governors of states were
asked to summon representative COM
mittees to get at the facts and at
tempt to start the building activities.

an average of 20 cents per pound.
Every cotton producer should take
to heart. the lessons Of 1921. From
this time on they should keep The
cotton acreage down to probable
production basis slightly under fhe
probable demand. They should get
together in communities, select a
purebred seed of a variety adapted
to that section; plant a reduced acre
age; strive to grow more quality DOT
ton per acre, and make it a real mon
ey crop by producing other commro-
dities for the market and for home
use. Such a plan would practically
insure a fair price for every balefof
cotton produced. Farm and Ranch.

of an order signed several days ago
by Justice Cothran at the request OF
Gossett's attorneys.

Production Cost Figures De-
ceptive.

Commissioner Terrill, Of the De-
partment of Agriculture for Texas,
has issued a statement in which he
says that Texas farmers must receive
25 cents per pound for cotton to
break even this years crop. He bases
his statement on reports received
from fifty eight farmers who have
kept records. Last year estimates on
cost of production varied from rs
cents to 40 cents. q
Isn't it a fact that production cost
depends upon the individual? And,
are we to take seriously these various
cost estimate submitted for u con-
sideration by statisticians and eff
cheney experts? Are such cost esti-
mates fair to the industry in general?
We have a decided opinion that they
the not fair or applicable to the State
as q whole.
One farmer may make no cotton
at all while his neighbor, with the
same acreage, may make an average
crop. Is it fair to add the cost of OPP
Grafton and the losses sustained by
the first man to the cost of the sec
ond man in order to obtain the cost
of production Isn't it an indisput-
able fact that the farmer who made
even less than an average crop is
making a profit at present prices?
In no way can you figure that he pays
the losses sustained by his neighbor.
The same rule applies to all lines OF
industry and bushes. One merchant
makes a profit while another in the
line fails. The fact that one fails does
not condemn that particular line of
business nor deter others from enter
ing it.
If, as Commissioner Terrill says,
the Texas cotton crop of 1921 costs
rs cents per pound to produce, then
the man who even suggests planting
one stalk of cotton IN Texas is either
an enemy of the farmer, or is giving
advice based on ignorance. If it costs
even 20 cents a pound to produce
cotton in Texas, then the crop should
be abandoned until such a time as a
method is discovered that will enable
farmers to produce it at c%ost-plus,
for the price record over any ten
year period that may be selected dur

The order granting bail to Gossett
directed that he be released from
custody upon the approval of the
clerk of court of Greenville county,
who was directed to certify the bond
to the clerk of court of Abbeville
county. This action was taken in or
der that the defendant would not be
compelled to return to Abbeville to
arrange the bond.
James P. Price argued Gossett's
motion for bail before Justice Goth
ran. The motion was resisted by
Solicitor Homer S. Blackwell of Lau-
rens and former Solicitor George
Bell Zimmerman of Lexington.
Kenneth Gossett was arrested IN
March, 1920, charged with having
criminally assaulted a young woman
near Abbeville. He was tried at a

shake-Up in the Old Soldiers
Home at Columbia, S. c.

Columbia, S. CA complete
shake-up in the Confederate Home,
known as the sold soldiers home," a
state institution located here, is pre-
dicted in a statement made here
Thursday by Capt. Ben. S. Williams,
superintendent of the home to the
effect that he will resign. He says
his resignation follows the resigna-
ton of w: A. Clark and D. R. Flenni-
ken of Columbia, members of the
board, who Wednesday sent their
designations to Governor Cooper. The
designations are sequels to a meet
ing of the board on the 18th, when it
is said there was strong criticism of
the management of the home, voiced
in a resolution adopted by what Cap
tain Williams terms a combination.
Capt. Williams stated Thursday
that at the recent meeting seven
members of the board were present.
One had to leave during the meeting
and of the remaining six, four, he
says combined in voting the resolu-
ton criticising the management of
the home. Messrs. Clark and Flenni-
ken, he says, opposed the resolution,
and when it was carried over their
protests, they announced that they
would resign.
The Confederate Home has always
been the cause of much concern on
the part of the legislature and state
officials and the new situation is ex-
pected to renew the trouble.
