TWO FACTIONS ARE

The Democrats are in an embar-
RAISING position. If they presented
united front, they could prevent the
ratification of the new treaty. But
Senator Underwood who might have
been counted on to lead the fight is
member of President Harding's
commission to the Armament Confer
ence and it might be awkward for
him to engage in party warfare at
this time. Senator Hitchcock of Ne
braska who made valiant fight for
the ratification of the Versailles pact
has taken the view that some kind of
peace treaty with Germany is bet
ter than none and that the sooner
peace is declared between Germany
and the United States the better it
will be for he people of both coun-
tries. Probably he too will take oc-
casion to criticise the treaty but will
not obstruct it's ratification.
The handspring of opposition
therefore lies in that wing of the
Democratic party which believes the
separate peace with Germany is hu-
initiating and that it ought to be de-
feated and that group of Republic

ion of DEATH" A coalition of the two
groups is not at this writing for
nidable enough to worry the Ad-
ministration. The danger of defeat
lies entirely in the possibilities of
protracted debate. The longer any
treaty is considered, the less favor
able are chances for ratification. The
''irreconcilables" who plan to vote
against the new German treaty are
saying to their colleagues that if
the battalion of DEATH disinte-
that the original opposition to the
Versailles pact was hardly based up
on conviction and was nothing more
than a personal and political fight
against Wilson. Senator Borah boasts

out and that he is opposed to foreign
Ientaglements of any kind whether
embodied in a treaty made by a Re-
publican or a Democratic president
and secretary of state Other Repub-
lican senators are inclined to take the
view that party loyalty requires them
to reverse themselves and go along
with President Harding and Secre-
Itary Hughes. The "irreconcilables'
are pointing out that the Senate Re.

reservation which would prohibit the
Executive branch. of the government

However, 1 can't say that I think
it any virtue for a person to look

Miss Florence Minis Writes
Some Incidents of the School
Exhibits.

Dear Advertiser:
The last public function of the
year besides that of the commence
ment, took place in the corridors of
the Hearding High school here and
in the agricultural building Friday
night, when the specimens of work
done by the manual training, art,
domestic science and other depart
ments, were exhibited.
The foreign parents who came, and
were not able to understand Eng
lish, at least could see the work which
their sons and daughters had accom-
plished during the year. These peo-
pie interest me very much, and I told
one Austrian girl that I would like to
meet her mother. The name was Zu-
ponsic, if you can grasp it all at once.
but some names are much worse, Sc
that when I have pronounced several
consecutively, I feel that I have mas
tered a foreign tongue.
I was introduced to the Austrian
mother who responded in Austrian
and much to my amusement and in.
terest, continued to talk about me in
Austr:-- looking at me every now
and then with a peculiarly Austrian
expression which was unintelligible
to me, while I waited like a dumb an.
imal, impatient to know what or
earth they could be saying.
I told the daughter that she must
interpret the conversation for me
and she replied that her mother want,
ed to know how old 1 was. This was
most disconcerting,, but nevertheless

students had made what are called
product maps" On the outline of a
country, on a large sheet of heavy
paper, were placed the several things
that grow in each part of the coun-
try. For instance, dates, cotton, hemp,
silver, etc., were pasted IN the spot
where those particular things were
found.
Sometimes the state of South Car
olina was drawn as / had remember
ed it, and sometimes a student had
changed the southern boundary line,
so that it took off small bits Of
Georgia, but that is not what aroused
my indignation. 1t was this. On look
ing to see what wonderful products
my state might have pasted on it's
bosom, I saw large tobacco leaf,
and nothing more. To me it was re-
voting to be reminded that South
Carolina should raise such thing! I
made some slight remark to that eff
feet to my guide, whose name was
Peter Deanovich, and he looked at
me with surprise in his eyes, wonder
ing why I should object to tobacco.

Farming Must be Better Or
ganized.

We have several farmers organiza-
tions in the county and they are doS
ing a great deal of good, but there
are many other things that we should
do. Below we are bringing to our peo-
pie few things that would result in
good for Edgefeld County farmers,
and indirectly for every class of peo-
pie.
Two communities of the county,
Trenton and Meriwether, have far
mers' clubs that meet several times
a year. We should not only have two
such clubs, but one in every commu-
nifty throughout the entire county.
We understand right now that the
farmers around Johnston and those
around Edgefeld are working up
such organizations for their respec-
tive communities. We trust they will
and trust others will follow suit.
With the county thoroughly organ
lied as mentioned above, there should
be central organization with head
quarters at the most central section
of the county, made up of several
representative men from each of
the organized communities. Now,
what should be the purposes of the
Central Organization? They should
meet about four times year to dis
cuss the problems of production, bet
ter soils and less fertilizers, livestock
raising, growing other crops besides
cotton, marketing, etc., and should
see that county program of work
is put on throughout the county so as
to aid the County Agent and other
agricultural agencies to reach every
farmer in the county. Such is being
done in other counties and Edgefeld
should not be left behind.
May we say word about growing
other crops besides cotton for money
crops? We are told that our section
of the south is ideal for growing to-
matoes, carrots, beets, fall turnips,
etc., for northern markets. Tl.4s year
some of our farmers are trying Irish
potatoes, string beans, tomatoes,
sweet potatoes, canteloupes, and
Lima beans. And as for the markets,
we are assured by the marketing and
agricultural agents thai market
can be found if the products are
grown in large lots so as to ship by
car loads.
Edgefeld county should and must
do the things we have mentioned and
many others. If you think SO as we
do, then do your part by going to
your County Agent and telling him
that we must have these things and
then do all in your power to bring
them about.

AS TO LAKES.

| A flat or graduated tax on net in
come seems to be the sound taxable
| basis for congress to consider, for
the reason that firm knows approx
imately what it's gross business should
| be and approximately what its total
expenses should be. Knowing a flat
tax of a given per cent is imposed, il
may readily estimate the tax and in
corporate it in the selling price of its
commodities.
This method of taxation is simple,
does not impose a hardship or entail
a lot of time at the close of the year
compiling data, except to compile
schedules substituting the gross in
come and expenditures or deductions.
This method of taxation is fair to
all, as it puts concerns on an equal
basis, so far as competition goes.
Regardless of what method of taxa
ton is adopted. recognition should be
made of losses. Take a concern show
ing a profit for two years, the third
year shows a loss and the fourth a
profit; they are taxed for years a
profit is shown, but no consideration
is given the losses. Assuming a flat
tax of 10 per cent were imposed, the
following example shows how the cor
poration would be taxed:
Net profit, 1921, 100000; 1922,
$4,000; 1923, none; 1924, $S0,00O-To-
tai, $250,OOO.
Net loss, 1921, none; rate of tax 10
per cent, $4,000; 1922, none, $1,000;
1923, $4,000; amount of tax, none;
1924, none. tax $4,000. Net loss, $4,000.
Total amount of tax, $4,000.
From the foregoing it is evident the
concern for four years shows net
profit of $4,000, although the tax
amounts to $4,000, which is on ba-
sis of 11.9 per cent and not 10 per
cent.
It appears that concern showing a
loss one year should be allowed to de-
duct the amount of such loss from the
following years result before the tax
is computed. Section 2O4-B of the
present law recognizes losses. This
section, however, was only for a short
period.
If net losses We're recognized, then
in 1924 the above concern would be
taxed on $4,000 at 10 per cent, or
$4,000, and not $4,000, as shown above.
The question of deducting losses
should be allowed for period. say Of
three years; that is. If a concern
didn't show a profit within three years
after the first years loss then it
should not be allowed to deduct the
first years loss, the same to bp applied
to the second years loss, and so on.

REVELATIONS
OF A WIFE

What Is the Real Reason for Dieky's
Shopping Trip?

What is the Real Reason tor Dieky's
Shopping Trip?
1 think my heart stopped beating
for a moment when in the suit depart
ment of HambePs, where / was sitting
waiting for Mrs. Durkee's return
from the fitting room, 1 saw Dicky
and the girl I knew only as Edith"
| together.
I had seen her but once before. With
her sister she had appealed to Dicky
for help when they were in danger of
being crushed in the crowd surround
ing Madison Square Garden upon the
night of the presidents speech there.
/ had been nurt at the time by the
contrast between Dicky's reassuring
nod and call to her and the curtness
with which he had dismissed my fears.
Then had come the terrifying mo-
ment when she had slipped from sight
in a sudden surge of the crowd, and
her sister had called piercingly,
"Dicky, they're killing Edith" Re-
gardless of the fact that he had left
me alone in that awful mob he had
battled to the girls rescue, only to
lose sight of me.
All the vague fears which had been
mine at the discovery of the foolish
little kodak print of Dicky and the
sisters rushed back to me supplement-
ed by the uneasiness which I had felt
at my husbands increasing evening
engagements with "art editors" in the
city.
Was this girl the explanation of
Dicky's absence, of his preoccupa ton,
of the hours of writing and sketching
he spent in his room? NY fears an
swered the question in the affirma-
tive even as my jealousy queried what
possible reason they could have for
being in the suit section of a depart
ment store together.
/ had not long to wait for the an
swer, for they stopped near enough to
where I was sitting for me to hear
their voices, and heard Dicl<y's voice
in courteous reply to the saleswo-
mans query:
Something in a white suit or a blue
and white effect for this lady l want
something stunning and in the very
latest mode you have, something es-
pecially striking. which at the same
time will suit her as if it had been
made especially for her"
tT understand" The saIeswoman mo-
toned them to chairs which FORUM
backs were toward me. Il will bring
you what we have directly"
1 sat with petrified horror, in which
jealous rage mingled strongly. Dicky J
was buying clothing for that girl!
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1921-08-07

| That was my first thought, and then
| there came to me the saving idea that
! perhaps he was only assisting her in
| the selection Of her suit. I knew
| Dicky's susceptibility 20 flattery, and
! this ultra-feminine Virginia girl with
! her patrician face and her helpless air
was just the type to appeal to him. IL
! she had asked his artistic judgment
as to her clothing, as I was certain
| she had done.
There was but one thing for me to
| do, however, and that was to get out
of their vicinity as quickly and as
| quietly as I could. Not for worlds
would I have Mrs. Durkee see what
had seen. Before their saleswoman
came back, before they had a chance
to turn their faces in my direction, I
must leave.
Cautiously, silently. I wriggled out
of my chair, and walked some distance
away before I ventured to accost a.
saleswoman mad ask the direction to-
the fitting rooms. I counted myself
lucky TO meet my little neighbor COM
ing out of one of the doors. She
glanced sharply at me as she did so.
What is the matter?" she asked.
"You are as white as paper. Have you
seen a ghost?"
ooh, no." 1 returned IN as careless a
tone as could manage, but the air
back there was fearfully close. It made
me feel really Ill. Let's go down to the
millinery section before we look at any
more suits"
I did not dare suggest leaving the
store for fear Mrs. Durkee would sus-
pect something. knew that behind
the little woman's soft, appealing air
was an alert quickness that was hard
to deceive.
. But as followed her down into the
section where the spring hats in all
their gayety were shown, I felt that I
would far rather go 70 the sack cloth
ashes counter than to the ones to-
ward which she was fastening.
Mrs. Durkee cast a practiced eye
over the room, then walked swiftly to-
ward a charmingly pretty girl who
would have looked more in place in a
drawing room serving tea than in this
section showing hats. But as we
neared her I saw that behind her
softness was a certain air of efficiency
that justified Mrs. Durkee's murmured
comment:
shes the only one see who looks
as il she could tell hat from a coal
SHUTTLE"
I sat down mechanically before the
mirror in answer to Mrs. Durkee's
insistent, Il bought my suit first, now
it's your turn to get a hat" But I had
no sight nor hearing for anything
around me- All my mental faculties
were busy with the question beating
against my brain.
That was the real reason for Diclky's
presence in the suit section of Ham
bets?
