Let US, then, consider some of the
farmers grievances, and see how far
they are real In doing so, we should
remember that, while there have been,
and still are, instances of purposeful
abuse, the subject should not be ap-
preached with any general imputation
to existing dlstributiye agencies OF de-
liberately intentional oppression, but
rather with the conception that the
marketing Of farm products has not
been modernzed.
An ancient evil, and a persistent
one, Is the undergrading Of farm prod
ucts, with the result that what the
farmers sell as of one quality is re-
sold as of higher That this sort Of
chicanery should persist on any i'm
portant scale in these days of bust
ness integrity would seem almost in
credible, but there is much evidence
that it does so persist. Even as l
write, the newspapers announce the
suspension of several firms from the
New York Produce Exchange for ex-
porting to Germany as No. > wheat
whole shipoad of grossly inferior wheat
mixed with oats, chat and the like
Another eyn is that of inaccurate
weighing of farm products, which, it
is charged, is sometimes a matter of
dishonest intention and sometimes of
protective policy on the part OF the
local buyer, who fears that he may
weigh out" more than he weighs in"
A greater grievance is that at pres
ent the field farmer has little or no
control over the time and conditions
Of marketing his products, with the
result that he is often underpaid for
his products and usually overcharged
for marketing service. The differ
ence between what the farmer re-
ceives and what the consumer pays
often exceeds all possibility of justi-
fcation. To cite a single illustration.
Last year, according to figures attest
ed by the railways and the growers,
Georgia Observation-Disclosures received
on the average rs cents for a melon,
the railroads got 1921 cents for carry
ing 1t to Baltimore and the consumer
paid one dollar, leaving 1913 cents for
the service of marketing and it's risks,
as against 2o2 cents for growing and
transporting. The hard annals of
farm-life are replete with such com
mentaries on the crudeness of pres
ent practices
Nature prescribes that the farmers
goods" must be finished within two
or three months Of the year, while
financial and Storage limitations gen
orally compel hin to sell them at the
same time. AS a rule, other industries
are in continuous process of finish
ing goods for the markets; they dis
tribute as they produce, and they can
curtail production without too great

PE0N PANTS IN
SECOND BATTLE
GAIN A P DIN I
High School Athlete
Compels Recognition of
New Attire After Bitter
Fight.

Peon pants won a tilt in the fight
for freedom of dress in young nascu-
line Caldwell Wednesday and Thurs
day.
Ernest Marshall, seeing the savings
of a month destroyed after he had
invested in pair of flair bottomed and
pearl button bedecked corduroy
trousers, Thursday reappeared in siml-
lar attire, Haunted his modified peon
pants in the face of his assai1ants-aud
got away with it.
Wednesday evening while Marshall
was tending strictly to his own bust
ness except for the general invitation
that his new trousers invited in the
riot, he found himself suddenly in the
hands of outraged fellow students.
Alden Clarity and Lloyd "Bo" Van
Washer, two high school football
stars and Sam Hathaway, who is NOT
high school student, robbed Mar
shall, also an athlete, of his pants. II
took all the prowess of the boys to
accomplish their mission. But they did
it.
| And then suddenly, fact which is
as yet unexplained, the peon pants fell
into the hands of another two self.
selected dress critics who proceeded
to make them unworthy for further
wear by cutting both legs off the
trousers above the knee.
Marshall, irate at the destruction OF
his personal belongings, considered
seriously the arrest of his assailants
He took his story to H. D. Andrews
justice of the peace, but before the
matter ever came before the court
settlement was made by the offer tc
replace the destroyed trousers.
Thursday, Marshall borrowed sim
liar pair of trousers and wore them
both at high school and on the streets
Haunting them in the face of his as
sailants.
According to ]. ]. Rae, Caldwell
schools superintendent, the studen
body council, acting recently upon
peon pants, only barred those tina

tone and Haunting slit in the leg
trimmed with red silk, presumably
from an underskirt, and decorated will
ribbons and bells. The pair that Mar
shall sported were not of that kind
having only white buttons and an en-
larged bottom of the trouser leg with
out further decorations, to mark til,
drabness of corduroy pair.
Thus ended another battle in til,

downfall of many American girls.
Mr.. Burger is an able talker He has
a convincing delivery and, in his dis
cussion, set at rest many misconcep-
lions and erroneous impressions of the
Klan's work.
That the klan is not responsible in
any way for the night parties that are
destruction bent was the assertion OF
Mr.. Burger. Indeed, the Klan is will
ing and anxious to learn who these
asqueradors are and will cooperate
with officials in every possible way to
that end, he declared. Mr.. Burger
discussed several recent attempts to
place the responsibility at the doors OF
the Khan for such outrages, telln;
exactly what investigations had shown
to have occurred relative to those who
took part in the affairs.
sAmericanism is the watchword oil
the organization, according to Mr.
Burger. Among other things, the
Khan stands for strictest limitation oil
immigration and thorough American
ization of aliens already here, facing
squarely the Japanese menace on the
western coast which he characterized
as just big problem as that ever
faced by the south and its negro pop
ulation and the enforcement OF the
law.
To achieve its principals the Elan
is using the ballot box, and not the
usual implements of warfare, accord
ing to the speaker. Any active inter
est in politics is one of the features
of the work of the organization. Mr.
Burger cited that at the last general
election seven governors of various
states were elected by virtue OF ku
Klux Klan aid and that the Khan was
responsible for the defeat Of Lee
Woolwine in California.
