WHAT GOVERNMENT CAN
NOT DO
CAN
By DR.. Frank Crane

The governments of the world have dlScoV-
ered or are discovering, that there is some
thing that is bigger than any of them.
The great laws that govern mankind and Gre
ate the happiness or misery of the people are
not laws that are passed by any parliament or
congress. p
The vast forces that produce plenty of famine
prosperity or unemployment arei not forces
that originate at kings tables or statesmen's
councils.
Which is now being shown in large capital
letters and words of one syllable by the chaos
of exchange.
that exchanges can be stabilized by any official
magic is pure illusion. We might as we'll try
to regulate heat or cold by taking the Their
mometer Exchanges are the automatic register
of certain conditions which must be changed
before the world can resume normal trading.
"They register the loads Of mutual indebted
ness, the enormous quantities OF goods winch
are expected to 60 out without their equivalents
coming in. the doubts heSitatonS, and fears
felt by commercial men in all countries about
the policy and intentions of the Governments,
and The unknown possibilities of the future.
"IJntil these are resolved and it is possible
to see clearly even few months ahead the
exchanges will continue to fluctuate and the
tendencies of the debaSed currencies will con-
tnue to be downwards."

other we shall have to face, is that civilization
has reached a point where it must go a step
beyond the stage of being managed by separate
nations or perish
Commerce and transportation have gone be-
yond the antiquated machinery OF government.
They have created already world unity. And
unless governments fall in line and form them
selves into some kind of unity evolution is go
ing to cease and the process of degeneration
set in. ....
The quarrel over the League of Nations or
the Association of Nations, or whatever one
minds to call it, is not matter of names, or
of political purpose, or of personal ambitions 1t
is matter of absolute essentially to the
world.
There is never going to be any way out OF
the confusion of exchanges until there ceases
to be bitter confusion of governments.
Some time or other and somehow or other
the nations of the world must get together and
think in terms of mankind and not in terms OF
the Star-Spangled Banner or Vive la France.
And the trouble lies so deep that no one ma
ton cure it, Nothing but some sort of world
government can apply the remedy.

The Columbus Fair

Fair officials have an idea that if Column
bus is going to have any more fairs prepare
tions should be made to take care of such as
Columbus ought to have and Columbus
would have if such preparations were made.
And the fair officials are right about it.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
Columbus is Georgia's fifth city, Muscogee
is prosperous county and there is no reason
why the Chattahoochee Valley Fair should
not be one of the largest and most inclusive
held during the fair season. Here's hoping
that the people of Western Georgia will rail-
ly to the support of the fair association.

>TIONS OF A BACHELOR GIRL.-By Helen Rowland

Love is always a loss. First a man loses
his heart then his head, then his freedom
and last, his Illusions
Before marriage, a girl thinks that she can
never do enough to make the man she loves
nappy-after marriage she KNOWS it!
The modern girls pronounced color is
usually pronounced rouge"
1t must be a cross to the profiteers, to
feel that they can't water the Milky Way,
and then skim it with the Big Dipper!

Preparations
The entire reparations commission, IN
Guiding Roland w. Boyden, the unofficial
member for the United States will leave for
Berlin next Monday or Tuesday. The COM
mission will remain in the German capital
two or three weeks to investigate measures
by which Germany may obtain the neces-
sary funds to meet the payment Of 5OO,-
000,O 900 gold marks due to the allies on
January Is, 1922. 1t also will investigate
the causes for the recent depreciation IN
value of the German mark.
The official explanation Of the decision
by the commission to go to Berlin is that
it desired to examine on the ground the
measures taken and visualize the possibility
of Germany meeting the January Is pay
ment. In circles close to the commission,
however it is understood the reason for
the trip is the concern felt over the alarming
depreciation of the mark the visit to Ber~
lin being decided OF only when it became
apparent that some radical measures must
be taken to stave of a financial crisis in
Germany.
The mark sold for ) IS confines on the
Paris bourse Saturday. There has been heavy
speculation in marks here.

GENERAL EVENING
 UP OVER SUNDAY IN CHICAGO PIT
Coarse Grains Were Domi- hated By the Action of Wheat and Ranged
 Mostly Lower
By Associntnd Prnsa

Chicago, March 5.-General evening up for over Sunday resulted in low range of grain values today. The fore cast for unsettled weather in the southwest also was factor in the wheat market. At the finish wheat was down 1 l-s to 2 1-4 with March I'll and May 162 to 162 1-4; corn was off S-S@1-2 to 1-4Qs-S; oats showed d loss of 1-2QS-S to 1-2G5-S, and pro visions were unchanged to 2Oc lower.
 Foreign demand for wheat was slow with the only business reported being 16,000 barrels of flour. The British commission, if was said, was in the market but bid about Sc below cost. Spring wheat seeding is making fair progress at one point in South Dakota There was some selling upon news that the allied terms had been rejected by Germany.
 Coarse grains were dominated by the action of wheat and ranged lower. The trade was not large and mainly of a local character, with the finish at mod crate net losses Country offerings of corn and oats were small, farmers be ing busy with field work. The re- ceipts, however. were ample for re- quirements.
 Provisions were lower in sympathy with grain and hogs. The most et- fective buying was by commission houses that were good sellers yester- day

WEEKLY DRY GOODS
By Assoctated Prns.

k New York, March 5.-Cotton goods and cotton yarn primary markets have been very quiet and weak in conse- quence of the decline in raw cotton. In jobbing and retail channels buvinr- has continued in small lots for prompt shipment and the movement of goods on old orders is still of substantial character. The price weakness has be- come so pronounced that if there is not an early improvement in the mar gin of profit available for mills fur- ther curtailment of operations will fol- low. There has been a break in prices on percales and bleached cottons un- branded to a parity of value with, low CT gray goods sales, but as the larger printers and bleachers are busy on past orders, offerings of goods at the new basis ot values are confined very largely to later deliveries The busi- ness of ginghams continues steady and some of the colored goods lines arn being offered for delivery beyond April. Wash goods and white goods are being bougnt in small lots very stead fly by retailers who want immediate shipments made. There have been many instances of buyers who have asked that all goods due for March delvery be shipped at once. The export trade IS still stagnant and the lack of volume orders of cotton goods for the manu- featuring trades causes dullness in some divisions. First hand prices are as follows:
 Print cloths, 2S inch 64X64s 5 lie. 64x60s, 5c; 3S 1-2 inch 64X64s. ' 3-4c: brown sheetings, southern standards, II cents; tickings, oz. 20c; denims, 2.20s, indigo, lie; prints, lie; staple ginghams l3 1-2c; dress gingham 15s and 17c-

 COTTON MARKET
 FEATURED TRADING
General Market Closed Barely Steady, Net Ten Points Lower to Two
 Higher
RH Assncintnd Preaa

New York, March 5.-The cotton mar ket was comparatively quiet and showed irregularity after yesterdays advance. Uncertainty regarding the outcome of the war reparations conference in London on to even-up commitments for over tnS weekend, and led to scattering hquida- tion. After selling off from 11.7oc to sl1 50, May rallied to about Fridays clos ing quotation, and closed at Il 1.6oc, with the general market closing barely steady, net 10 points lower to higher
 The market opened steady at a decline or points to an advance of 3 points, but very soon weakened owing to unfav- orabIe trade accounts from Manchester and reports of increasing domestic mill curtailment. There was selling by recent buyers who were saidt obe disappointed by the failure of demand to broaden more importantly, following the inaugural address, and before the end of the first hour active prices sold 15 to 23 points net lower with March touching n.O5c ana July 11.sSc.
 ASAAt-~A@N% lower grades In the southwest led to scattered covering at those figures and there were rallies, but they were not fully maintained, and old crop positions showed net losses of to 10 points at the close. Less favorable late reports as to the German attitude on the question of repa- rations had unsettling influence which probably accounted for the closing reac- tons. Manchester advices stated that the proposal to shut down for the Easter holidays had not been adopted, but that Lancashire spinners would continue on the short time schedule. British spinners of American cotton are said to be oper- ating on 24-hour weekly schedule and of Egyptian cotton on a two-weeks schedule of 351a hours. The further de- cline reported in bar silver was consid- ef ed against prospects for any immedi- ate improvement in the far eastern mar kets for goods. Sales of print cloths at Fall River for the week were estimated at 6O,000 pieces, and the curtailment Of mill production at 15O,0oo.

New Orleans Cotton

New orleans, March 5.-The short Sat urday session brought an unsettled feel ing to cotton, mainly because of the un- certainty over the European political out look. There were times when the mar ket was steady enough as the result Of considerable short covering, but politics always was over it as an unfavorabie influence and it restricted fresh trading and held buyers out of the market, even while there was much talk of cotton be- ing on an investment basis.
 On the first call the more active months were 1 to points up, but almost imme- diately there was break, and it lasted long enough to carry May off to u.l9c and to put the trading months r to lS points under the close of yesterday. Short covering set in and prices recovered, the upward movement lasting until they were 3 to points higher than the finals Of yesterday. In the late trading the mar ket was depressed by rumors cabled from Berlin that the German cabinet was strongly against the reparation terms of- fered by the allies. and break to about the lowest levels ensued. The close was steady at net declines on the day Of 7 to 10 points, with May at u.Nc.

STARVATION POINT
 REACHED ON WALL
 STREET YESTERDAY
Dealings In Bonds Were Light, But a Trifle More Varied and Irregular as to
 Trend
By Associated Pres.

New York, March 5.-Trading on the stock exchange during today's short ses- sion was dull almost to the point of stagnation. The only features of more than passing interest were supplied by several of the rails and prominent spe- cialties, in which shorts felt impeIled to cover.
 The same technical reasons applied to Mexican Petroleum, Atlantic Gulf and various other favorites, most of which were under persistent depression in the early days of the week. Moderate buy ing of motors and the preferred shares of such inactive issues as Railway Steel Springs, American Woolen and American Agricultural Chemical infused additional steadiness to the list, substantial gains prevailing at the close. Sales amounted to 16.ooo shares.
 Dealings in bonds were light, but a trff1e more varied and irregular as to trond Reading bonds followed the up- ward course of the stock, but most other issues, including the Liberty group and Eternationals, retained their recent un- certain tone. Total sales, par value, S5,- 2B ,000
 The actual condition of the clearing house banks showed decrease of al- most H7, ,S00. GOO in loans and discounts and discount of about s21, 400, 900 in net de- postts, which almost offset the decrease of the previous week. Reserves contract ed by about s10,35o 0Oo, however, reducing the excess to slightly less than $4,0OOOOp
 Weekly reports of commercial agencies anc other mercantile authorities empha- sized the degree of caution manifested by leading business interests of the coun- try On the whole, distribution and coI- lections were said to compare favorably with the corresponding period of last year.

Weekly Financial Review
By Associatsd prns.

New York, March 5.--1he securitie . marke. experienced another week of dullness and irregularity quotations. accompanied by similar Or more ob- vious reactions in many branches of commerce and industry, these condt- tions testifying with increasing force the world wide trade situation.
 The events of paramount importance the London separations conference and the induction into office of Presl- dent Harding-seemedt to produce little impression.
 Foreign exchange markets remainea. in state of suspended animation and the Presidents inaugural address, while Ieassuring to conservative finan- cial interests. failed to elicit more than a meagre investment demand
 Further aggressions by the shorts were directed mainly against shares of companies still in process of post war readjustment. This found expres- slon in additional dividend reductions or omissions together with reduced prices and wage schedules.
 Railway stocks were occasionally subjected to pressure by traCers who evidently argued that the stead. diminution of grain and cotton ship ments as well as fabricated materials must vitally affect financial return, for an indefinite period
 The steel situation, it was generally concedede, depends largely on an early solution of the more acute problems confronting the steel industry. Re ports from Pittsburg and other impor- tant centers told of further price re- vision regardless of the firm stand taken by the United States Steel cor poration.
 Credit conditions inclined towards greater ease, as indicated by the re- ports of the federal reserve board. Vast sums remain tied up in foreign trade and various lines of merchan disc, however, and until these are re- leased to considerable extent no re- auction of interest or discount rates is probable.
