Farm Agent Ought
To Be Retained

The Weekly understands that the
contract employing the county farm
agent expires Jan. l. 1922.
The board at its December meet
ing probable will decide whether we
will, or will not, have farm agent
next year.
Matters that involve outlay of
the public funds, usually result in
division of opinion 1t is squarely
up to the board to say whether or
not Monroe is to have farm agent
next year.
The Weekly hopes the board can
see its way clear to continue this
much needed service in the county.
The farmer needs such direction
as will coordinate agricultural eff
fort In cooperative conservation
and marketing of crops as well as
instruction as to what crops to grow

7 he Worlds Greed

Man that is born of woman is of
few days and full of trouble. He
comes into the world without his
consent and leaves it against his
will. During his STAY on earth his
time is spent in one continuous
round of pleasure or misunder-
standing. In his infancy he's an
angel. in his boyhood he's a devil;
in his manhood he's a saint or a
sinner; if he attends to his duties
he's cranky; if he refuses a family
he's chump; if he raises a check
he's thief; and then the law sends
him over the road; if he's a poor
man he's a bad manager, and has
no sense; if he's rich, he's dishonest
and considered smart; if he's a pol
itican. he's a CRATER and a crook; if
he's out of politics, he's an unde-
sirable citizen and you can't place
him; if he goes to church, he's
hypocrite; if he stays at home he's
a heather; if he donates to mis-
sions he does it for show; if he
doesn't. he's stingy and tight
wad.
When he first came into the
world everybody wanted to kiss
him: before he goes out. rybody
wants to kick him. If he dies young
there was a great future before him;
if he lives to a ripe old age, then,
of course, he's living to save fun
eral expenses and keep his heirs
from enjoying his property.
Life is a funny thing, isn't it,
Exchange.

A Victory

In the face Of pressure brought
to bear by representatives of the
special interests in Congress, Fri
day, the House voted to. support
the Senate farmers bloc and kept
the figure at 80 per cent surtax on
annual incomes of more than $780,
600. 1t voted down the % per
cent proposal of House leaders for
the special interests and also the
compromise proposal Of 40 per cent
suggested by President Harding.
1t was glorious victory for the
common people. and the best of it
is that the Mississippi delegation
voted with that wing of Republicans
that were honest.

The Old Citizens Graveyard

There is a neglected graveyard
In Aberdeen-a community Of its
past citizens whose silent dust once
pulsed with life, and whose enter
prise helped to found this beautiful
city. The old citizens graveyard,
just north of the well kept Odd
Fellows cemetery. is a wofully neg
lected spot.
It's fences are down. its tomb
stones are tottering to decay. cows
browse over the su1ken graves and
swine depredate upon the neglected
spot.
1t is charge upon the citizen
ship of this city to care for and pro-
tect the graves of Aberdeen's de-
parted citizens. There is yandal-
ism that accuses any eommu-
nifty for neglect of the graves of its
departed citizens. The civic or
carnations ought to take this mat
ter in hand and make the old citi-
zens graveyard a beauty spot in
stead of allowing it to be a place
that is unkept and unsightly.

Righteously Founded
Expectation

Speaker Conner. who is groom
ing to become a candidate for gov
ernor, in a speech recently delivered
at Jackson. said that it Is useless
to look to the next legislature for a
reduction of the state tax levy; that
the only solution to the high tax
problem is to make the people more
able to pay the taxes which, he
said, can be done only by more
intelligent methods of producing
wealth" A statement like that
rom a man who is exploiting to be-
come the chief executive is not
likely to set well with the temper
of the people at this time They
will want to know why when the
price of everything the farmeF-pro-
duces. and salaries of the working
men are becoming lower daily. that
taxes ought to remain high and re-
commended to become higher. They
will also want to know, if in
comes based on quantity produc-
tion are becoming less and less as
peace slime normally is being es-
tablished, why the cost of state gov
eminent should not keep pace with
the taxpayers decreased incomes.
The people do expect, and have a
right to expect that the next legis-
lature will give them relief in re-
duction of the state tax levy.
They are righteously founded in
this expectation, because the legis-
lature has ample power to give them
this reduction by lowering appro-
priations, salaries, the number of
offices and providing for more
economical upkeep of the state in
titutions.
Many citizens are eroaning un-
der exactions made upon them for
the present upkeep of state and
county governments, instituted dur
ing the war time period when the
times were out of joint But war
time is not peace time; sanity pre-
walls; the people expect expendi-
lures in government that will meas
ure justly with their ability to sup
port. Not only do they expect a reduc-
ton of the state tax levy. but also
material reduction in the levies OF
nearly every county in the state.

BIOW To Bets By
Court VIII Bring
Scores LdlU Suits
BY CHARLES M'cANN

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent }
London, Nov. 26.-British book
makers have Just received blow
that may mean the end of the pres
ent betting system in England and
at best means millions of pounds
in law suits before the present law
has changed.
The House of Lords-the final
appeal court-has decided that bet
ting by bank check is illegal.
The decision means that any per-
son who has paid or received bet
by check during the last six years
after which the statute of limita-
tions, invalidates claims-can sue or
be sued for the money.
1t means that bookmakers may be
sued by losers, or by the heirs Of
losers, for hundreds of millions of
dollars and can in turn sue for more
hundreds of millions from success
full hackers; and that the courts,
unless the law is changed, can do
nothing except order payment.
backer sued London book
maker for $25,000 lost in betting on
horse races and paid by check. The
lower court decided in favor of the
bettor and the appellate courts in
turn backed up the decision.
Already suits for recovery of losses
are pending involving $500, 900.
There will be nothing to it now

French DiUOrces
In Big Increase

BY United Press.
Paris. Nov. 26.-The number OF
divorces IN France has increased
by nearly twenty per cent since
the war. Statistics Just compiled for
the first year after the war show
more than 10000 divorces, or nearly
seven per cent of the total mar.
riages.
g. ing to 10 steadily increasing
b.. .l.rate t. increase OF divorces
constitutes serious problem In con-
nection with the future defense Of
the nation.
Madamoiselle Helene Mlropolsby,
one of the few women lawyers prac-
tieing in French courts, said:
aside from the moral causes that
influence the conduct Of men and
women, the economic revolution
caused by the war is largely res
ponsiblc for the increase.
During such catalclysm as the
war the number of domestic dra-

of cases it resulted in binding closer

Becasue he was without funds, John

a thrilling story Of hold-up, in his
play for the sympathies Of wealthy
suburbanites.
jackson telephoned Chief of Police

held him UP with a revolver, at Wal

and while Christmas carols were peal :

him OF S35 and $50 watch and chain.

even knew the numbers Of the stolen

The victim was n real press agent

In Jenkintown who would listen, en-

But the Jenkintownites would not

scare into them.

Of the fuse and prevented an ex-

Police believe the bomb was placed
by sympathizers with the striking taxi
cab drivers, and was put in the Fitler
car in error.
