OLD WORLDS AND NEW

While in many respects America
leads the world, we might as well
admit that our friends across the
sea can do few things better than
we can. The dailies told of a mum

ed Americas unknown soldier on
Armistice day But
To General Jacques of Belgi-
um it remained to add his own
touch tothese honors. He tore
from the breast of his own tun-
ic, the medal of valor pinned
there by the Belgian king, tore
it with sweeping gesture, and
tenderly bestowed it on the un-
known American warrior.
This recalled an incident which
happened many years ago in Rome.
A friend of mine was in big cafe
when news came of some catastro-
phe whoch had left hundreds home
less and penniless. My friend said
this was a fashionable cafe and ma
ny aiistocratic lords and ladies
were present. No sooner did the
news arrive than someone began 10
pass a tray to receive aid for the
sufferers. My friend said that
those fine Italian ladies and gentle
men stripped all the jewelry from
themselves and stacked it up on the
Lray-thousands and thousands OF
dollars worth Of it in a few seconds.
Il amazed hint seemed so spon-
so perfect. They appeared
o be giving themselves with their
lifts.

PEACEABLE SOLDIER

A brief paragraph in General Per
shing's address at the grave oi
Frances unknown warrior Cat tho
Arc de Triomphe, Paris, October q
deserves a place beside Lincoln s
Gettysburg speech:
Contradict In your heart
there is malice toward none, but
charity for all. You fought
against a great calamity-war;
but your work will never be en-
ded till all peoples have rid
themselves of the burden which
preparation for war imposes.
You gave everything for peace;
but your sacrifice will be sterile
unless a generous sentiment of
disinterested cooperation repla-
ces all hate.
While we have heard sentiments
like this before in time of peace, we
have seen them supplanted by some
thing entirely different in time Of
war And some of us have thought
that the sentiments of war had
firmer foundation than those Of
peace. But were we right in this
idea? Which has the better foun-
dation-what we think when we
are excited by the passions of war;
or what we think when we are rea-
sonably calm?
When brave soldiers like Pershing
make statements like that of Octo-
Der 2, it is time to stop and consid
er whether, after all. it is not the
jingoes who are the Missionaries, the
impractical theorists.

sons voyage in his little boat,
the Half Moon, up the river
which now bears his name. For
at that early date an Italian
! navigator, Verrazano, exploring
for France, sailed into New
York bay. This first visit to
New York made little stir and
was soon forgotten, and ii was
Hudson's rcdiscovery which
tempted the Dutch to send over
colon SITS and obtain for the
Dutch West India company
monopoly of the Dutch fur trade
in America. The new colony
which was started in 1923 called
its territory New Netherlands,
after its mother country, and
their principal city New Amster-
dam. 1t is interesting to reflect
that Manhattan island, which is
now New York city, was pur-
chased from the Indians for S21
worth of beads and ribbons.
Even in its earliest days the set
Element on Manhattan Island
was cosmopolitan. In 1913 it is
reported that eighteen different
languages were spoken there.
in 1864 the English captured
New Netherlands, and King .
Charles II presented the colony
to his brother, the duke of York,
who was later King James II, :
and it's name was then changed
to New York.
New York played a leading :

AMERICAN WHEAT PRODUCTION
United States Again Exceeds Any
Other Nation.

Wheat production in the United
States in 1920 again exceeded that Of
any other nation, amounting to 49,
600 600 bushels, or 100,000,000 more
than the pre-war average and twice
as much as was raised by any other
country for which statistics are avail
able, according to the National Bank
of Commerce in New York. The ag-
gregate output Of these countries de-
clined 100000 bushels below pre- war
averages, while at the same time this
country's crop was nearly lou, ,ooo'oVo
bushels less than the 1919 record, the
bank shows in the February number
OF it's magazine, Commerce Monthly
Before the war;" says Commerce
Monthly. "the Russian Empire led the
world both in acreage planted in
wheat and in total production. Little
is now known Of the actual SITUATION
in the grain growing areas OF Russia
but political uncertainty and disorgan-
lied transportation apparently make
the conclusion certain that Russia
cannot become a factor in the grain
market during the next year.
During the last half OF 1910 plac-
tically all Of the wheat entering the
international market came from the
United States and Canada. Exports
of wheat including -four. during the
last six months Of 1920 from the Uni
ted States and Canada, .eNcluslvc "i
the movement between the two colln-
tries, were more than 2i0.000,000 bush
els, compared with 17O.O00,O0O bushels
from July TO December 81, 1919. Al
together there are wide fluctuations
in the wheat crops OF Canada and the
United States, they are both TO be de-
scribed as dependable wheat produc-
ers. The only important free wheat
markets of the world arc those of the
United States and Canada.

FREE RANGE BILL DIES.
All of the Counties Must Now Operate
-, Linden State. wide Stock Law. -

All of the Counties Must Now Operate
Under State. vide Stock Law. ~ :
The state senate on Tuesday killed a
bill By Senator Jeremiah Smith Of Hor-
ry county, which would exempt Hurry
county from the statewide ,stock law,
the vote being % to 13. BY the action
of the senate, Horny county is forced
to comply with the statewide law pro-
hibiting animals: to run at large insthe
state and the vote Tuesday night ends
a fight for free range that has been on
in the lower section of the state for
quarter of century. Senator Hart OF
York county, was among the % who
voted to kill the bill allowing free, range
in Horny.
The debate was decidedly the most
interesting yet indulged in by the SEN
ate and was heard by large gallery
and many citizens on the floor OF the
upper chamber. Senator Smith again
reiterated his charge of autocratic dc
tation on the; part Of the state IN tell
ing the Independent Republic" what, 1t
should, do. He claimed the same free
rights for Horny county that the sons
of the south fought and died for IN
1861 -65, but the opposition was too
great and after hard fight Uncle
Jerry" was forced to bow to a majority
vote against him.
MIR. Smith was not the only free
range supporter in the debating, Sena--
tor Hubbard lending helping hand.
The Jasper senator also charged that
the county Of Horny. should have the
right to govern itself He gave facts
and figures that were intended to snow
that free range was the better OF the
two methods.
Senator narrelson Of Marion, led the
attack on the bill, pointing out what he
considered the many defects in free
range and taking Mr.. Smith to task on
a, number Of statements. Mr.. Harrel-
son said the Horny free range would
always mean cattle tick in the state
and a brand Of cattle and hogs that
would never let the county progress.
He cited the long horn bulls and the
razorback hogs.
Senator Alexander also attacked the
bills as being against the best inter.
ests of the state as whole.
