THE NEW PLAYS
In the Night Watch"
a French Thriller
BY CHARLES DARNTON

Why is it that on the stage nations
seem always to be dancing into WARP
Anyway, that's the way it goes again
with In the Night Watch" at the
Century Theatre. Here is a French
thrilor turned into English melo-
arama Jby Michael Morton.
France, on the eve of war, dives
franticully into melodama The wife
OF the captain Of a ship is pCeysh
because her husband Will not play
with her. Accordingly, she goes to
the cabin OF "A Lieutenant who thinks
he has loved her for years, and then
she makes a sorry attempt to throw
herself through a portfolio. by all
the reckOnlngs OF common sense she
should not have gone below with the
yCllow-Streaked lover begging her
company. The situation is extrava-
CANT from any point Of view. The
battleship is another matter! 1t Is
hit and sunk Meanwhile there is a
scene Of vivid meLodamatic value.
Men scurry about the ship through
the fog, and the ship goes down with
q singing crew. Afterward the wife
does her best to explain her silly be-
bavior, and the husband, with a clear
record, walks OFF with her. That's
the play.
Robert Warwick, Jeanne Eagels,
Cyril Scott and Max F'igunan give va
rlety to a play that is thoroughly
melodramItiC.

It Must Be Done.

The Swainsboro Forest Blade calls timely at
tention to the lack of markets for the farmers
products and declares that Emanuel county
must do something along this line before the
men who till the soil and its people generally
are any better off. What our contemporary
saws is Just as true of Terrell-and every 9TH
er Georgia county, for that matterras it is
of Emanuel, and we might as we'll begin tc
get about improving the situation. The Forest
Blade states the matter as follows:
1--WE have gone just as far as it is posi-
BILE for people to go who is wholly de-
pendent upon cotton for money crop; we
will get in worse condition every year just
as long as we follow the same old rut.
There is no use trying to hide the tact
from yourself and imagine that good times
will come to us again, even II we do not
make an effort to get things in better shape.
Just as sure as you are born you can lie
still and take things easy and expect times
to grow better without effort If you want
to- but Just about the time you are expect
ing things 70 change for the better you are
going to be bankrupts
There are good times for us, without
doubt, but we will never be able to realize
them unless we do something to bring
them about.
1--WE have first got to do something to
put our produce, such as we can raise, in
shape for the market, then we have got to
have some organized and stable system OF
marketing what we raise
1--WE will be a poor and oppressed people
just as long as we depend on some one COM
ing along and buying at fancy price what
we have to sell without any effort on our
part, but there is no section, we care not
where you go, that would be more pros
porous and more independent than this if
the people would only make an effort"

October.

! After a drouth of several weeks and a
scorching sun which filled the roads deep with
dust and tortured plant life and humanity ma
ture presents herself to us in October with a
countenance clean and smiling if not gay The
grass of city lawns, as we'll as of country
fields, is again luxuriant and all the late sum-
mer and autumn flowers have been stimulated
into new and loveier poisoning. Neverthe-
less, signs of autumn are not lacking. There
is warning GOODNESS in the atmosphere. The
first leaves of autumn are falling, though the
foliage of the trees is yet green. The sumac
herald of the changing seasons, flames red
along the roads and on the hillsides Golden
rod is in the last stage OF blossoming The
white and purple asters decorate the mead
ows. The cycle of the Sunfowers is complete
and they stand with blackened heads, their
seeds fully ripe. Everywhere nature is bring
ing the seed to maturity in anticipation of the
coming winter and in preparation for the re-
newal of life next spring-not Fastening, but
with camness and certainty that is i'm
preSsive.
In the woods the stiffness is characteristic
of the autumn season. 1t is silence that is elo-
auent. 1t is so intense that one can hear the
dropping of the leaves as they touch the earth.
Occasionally the silence is broken as the chick
adee calls to his mate. On occasions, too, the
noisy bluejays in their quarrelings or the
flickers in their play invade the stiffness and
momentarily awake the echoes with their
cries The woods are allurng to the senses.
Their damp GOODNESS is fragrant and refresh
ing. The fallen brown and yellow leaves not
vet thick on the ground, and the lights and
shadows made by the sunlight as it filters
through from above mark out a mosaic that
is as lovely as it is curious.
October mornings are still and cool; Octo-
Der sunrises and sunsets are unsurpassed III
loneliness and in the richness and variety of
their colorings; October nights, with the har-
vest moon hung in the sky, are splendid, both
for beholding and for repose.
Though much of the husbandman's work IS
completed in October much remains yet to
be done before all of the crops are garnered-
much in preparation for the next harvest and
in completing the harvest of this year.
October reveals to us anew the beauty OF
nature it is the fulfllment of the ancient
promise that seed time and harvest shall not
fail. All about us in this blessed country in
October we see abundance to supply our ma
teral wants and beauty to lend us the nspira-
ton of it's ministry 1t is time to be thank
full for life and for the providence of God
which showers us with so many blessings.

Cotton Acreage Record.
From the Savannah News.

In the five years. 1910 and 1914, cotton
occupied on the average about As per cent OF
the total crop area of the south. This year it
took up only about 80 per cent OF the crop crop
room From more than As per cent in 1918
it has dropped to 80 per cent in 1921. In other
words it has gone own one-third in relative
acreage This tells the story of crop divers1-
fication in the south. AS compared with the
1910-1914 average corn has gone up Ioo 6OOO,-
600 acres, wheat 2,500,00O oats 100000, bar
ley $4,000, rye 100000 Irish potatoes 10000,
sweet potatoes 100000, tobacco $4,000 while
hay Q92O) went up nearly 100000. Cotton
went down 100000 acres. The question evi-
IDENTIFY is as to whether the wise thing for the
farmers of the south to do is to cultivate cot
ton intensively as possible on small acreage
fighting the boil weevil within restricted linn
it's and making food and feed crops, raising
pigs and cattle and sheep so that the farmers
family can have a good living despite, the
best Cor WORST efforts of the weevil and de-
spite anything the cotton market may do.
Keep the cotton acreage small and make as
much cotton as possible per acre; live at
home then the yield of cotton will not be
too large and produced at too great a cost
to yield a profit, and still there will be
enough cotton to meet the worlds demands.

New Tangled Government.

Columbus has adopted the city manager
plan of municipal government, and in other
cities in Georgia there is agitation along the
same line The News is skeptical as to wheth-
er it will result in improvement. A river
cannot rise higher than its source. Would a
city council or commission disprove this by
employing better manager than itself? The
question is easily answered. A city generally
has the kind of government a majority of its
people want. If a city council Cor commits
sion, whichever it may be called happens to
be better than the majority that elected it the
choice is accidental. Likewise if a city council
should happen to elect manager better than
itself the choice would be accidental. 1t is
taking us a long time to find out that no par
tcular form of municipal government is, an
absolute guarantee of good government Good
government can be enforced as well through
a mayor and city council as through a city
manager if the people of city are sufficiently
determined to have good government

Church Bans Jazz.

The Episcopal churches of Louisville, KY,
believing that jazz dancing and jazz music
lead to jazz manners and jazz morals, have
united in an effort to put end to these
pleasures with which the young people OF
that city have been so much taken, and a
ban has been placed on them by the bishop
of the Kentucky diocese. Resolutions con-
demning Jazz music and jazz dancing recent
ly were adopted by the cericus OF the Epis-
copal church at Louisville and are to be ex-
tended to the envrons as we'll
Undeniably the finding OF the Kentucky
Episcopa1ians is correct. Music and the dance
are expressions of human emotions that are
indelibly impressed upon developing charac-
tiers, and everybody knows just where Jazz
music and jazz dancing belong. Neither can
be anything but barbaric, and that applies tc
their origin as we'll as to their effect on hui
manity Jazz music is an outgrowth OF rag
time, down hill development of the ques-
tionable syncopation thai had its devoteeS
and originators in the dens of the underworld
Jazz dancing is its fit accompaniment, tht
logical result of such perversion.
Not only should churches take a stanc
against jazz music and jazz dancing, but I
warning ought to be sounded in the homes
Churches cannot do everything in correcting
evil influences that are menacing morality
and manners 1t is gratifying to know tina
one church has taken the step to put the bar
on jazz music and jazz dancing which tn,
younger generation has been riding on
toboggan.

The DELAYED Ratification.

1t is nearly three years since the last shot
was fired in the world war, but technically
the United States has not yet ended the con-
fict between it and the central powers OF
Europe The first treaty, that of Versailles,
was Objectionable because it imposed obi
cations upon the American government and
the American people and entangled this coun-
try in the affairs of Europe to an extent that
did not seem to be safe and desirable. The
senate explicitly outlined its objections and
was supported in its contention by an over
whelming majority of the people, who an
nounced their attitude in the last election. The
senate which refused to ratify the Wilson
treaty, seemed to be within its rights and to
have discharged its duty to a majority OF the
people.
Another treaty has been promulgated by
the Harding administration, and with the eX-
ception of the so-called irreconcilables is &C
-ceptable to most of the members OF the up
per house of congress. They represent thai
the treaty is still too entangling or that 1t
does not entangle enough. Some opponents OF
the treaty wish to divorce the United States
absolutely from the affairs of all Europe; 9TH
ers hold out for a closer intimacy than has
existed heretofore. These are the extremes
against which the present treaty has collided
The senate should go and ratlty the
treaty, and end the state of war existing be-
tween the United States and central powers
Nothing is to be gained by delaying ratifca-
ton, though much can be lost by it. Parti-
san politics evidently is further embarrassing
the situation The United States occupies the
ridiculous sposition in the eyes of the world as
being a nation that can get into war but
cannot get out. If members OF the upper
house of congress were less stubborn anc
contrary and had more of the spirit OF co.
operation for the sake of public good they
would get together and ratify the treaty, thus
ending one of the biggest jokes in American
diplomatic history.

Dragging Leather From Ocean.
From the Triton Gazette.

News of another interesting development
OF the market for products of the sea is con-
tanned in the information that an auxiliary
schooner belonging to the Ocean Leather
Company recently sailed from New York to
Brunswick, where it will engage in taking
sharks and other leather-bearing fish off the
Brunswick bar. Dynamite will be used to a
large extent in this work says The Banner,
and the arrival of the schooner will mark the
opening Of operations by the leather COM
pany, which has fleet OF vessels which are
expected to join in the work later. If the
once-despised shark is to be made to contrib
ute to the worlds commerce we ARE to see
another product utilized that formerly went
to waste But will not the explosions of dyna-
mite kill many other fish, and thus destroy
more than is saved?

NO HEAVEN, AFTER ALL.

The accumulation of so much money in the

character of even so substantial a city as Los
Angeles 1t cannot develop its Arbuckles and
at the same time preserve the pristine purity

Gliding to make it their future home.

BUYING AT HOME.
From the Brunswick Banner.

From the Brunswick Banner
The buying of materials and commodities
that are made at home by home people is the
first requisite to the building of a city. Each
member OF this community depends, to a
greater or lesser extent, on each other men,
Der for his livelihood and unless home indus
try is taken care of first there can be no
home industry, and without industry there
is nothing. Many people, unthinkingly, do
their neighbors and friends grievous hurt by
spending their money in ways that do not
help any member of the community.
