tthe they must pay nowadays for the privilege Of
living. Fortunately Mr. Record does not stop at
exposing the system. He points the way to relief.
The railroads have few or no refrigerator cars to
carry meat or perishable products. The Big Five
comprising the meat monopoly, have their private
refrigerator cars. Small conn etitors are thus
placed in an impossible position. They must eth
put cars of their own on the roads or hire cars -
if they can get them-from the Beef Trust.
If little fellow puts his own cars on the roads,
says Mr.. Record, there is always some obliging
railroad official ready to sdetrack or divert them
Until the ice melts and the food reaches an unmark-
ctable condition. 1t does not take many operations
of this kind to put the average small man out of
business. Thus the meat monopoly is maintained
Mr.. Record points out that government owner
ship OF railroads would defeat this system. The
people should not be compelled to wait for so I'M
certain solution The roads should be compelled
as common carriers to provide an adequate supply
of refrigerator cars, and it might not be amiss to
prohibit the use of private cars
The right of the rails to the Meat Trust, to the
Pullman Company and others, means that these
monopolies get the benefits of public service cor
Forations, without restrictions or regulation They
enjoy franchises which never have been granted
to them. The subletting of franchises puts the
public in jeopardy.
AS fact, passing the right of way by the rail-
loads is perhaps greater public menace than pass
ing the buck by the government.
The railroads should be compelled to supply re-
frigerator sold at price to all alike and under
government supervision

meet with success. Maps of the Highway are be-
ing prepared and cuts will appear in each of

We Must Unbend Backs
By Richard Lloyd Jones

Hanging heavily about his neck, the sack OF
seed bowed down the ancient sower Today, with
out weight, he only holds the rens that drive the
faithful team that hauls around his narrowed field

To-day we no longer have to walk in the furrow
OF the pillow. We can mount the seat on the sulky
and till vast acres where once we turned the soil

Once used to bend our backs to drop the ker-
nels of corn and finger over the soil that covered
them Today we ride the planter that does the
bigger job in the better and easier way.
We used to tether hay by hand but now we teth-
CT by horse. Maud Muller had to walk the stubb-
led fieldwhen she raked the new-mown hay. To-
day aloader lifts it on the rack and harpoon
throws it on the stack.

ed grain.
Ihreshing once done by faying the floor is now
done by the threshing machine without which the

gathered in huge elevators

work easier. We let the wind lift our water The

The telephone has brought the farmer into con.

been made that the War Finance Board received
its share of the proceeds of the sale of syrup dis
posed of by the Grady County COOPERATIVE syrup
Association Our farmers will remember that
last Spring when syrup went begging at Zoe per
gallon down in the syrup country a number of
cane growers formed UNION for the sale of
their product collective sales plan and pooled
their entire syrup crop. The syrup was canned
and so stored in a Government warehouse and the
War Finance Board advanced the farmers $4,000
on their combined crop, which gave each of them
loc per gallon in advance Just a-few weeks ago
the entire crop was sold and after paying off the
principal and interest and all storage and insur-
ance charges the growers received more than twice
as much as they could have received for their crop
at the time when the pool was formed
This is simply another illustration of how co..
operation works with the farmer, who is willing
TO enter into collective bargaining with his neigh
Lors for their mutual protection
The cotton pools will work along the same line
and cotton farmers who are delivering their cot
tor now will reap profit on their pooled cotton.
The Cotton Association is backed by $o5OOOOOO
OF the Governments money through the War FL
nance Board and Southern banks have agreed to
advance as much money will be needed to save
the cotton farmers from the necessity of throwing
their cotton on the market. The cotton pool is in
effect and has its effect the price of cotton now
AS the buyers well know that three million bales
are not to be sold until the demand becomes strong
enough to suit the managers of the cotton pool
The few members Of the Cotton Association in
TINS county will have plenty OF company next seas
on, as the success of the Pool this year will make
them all anxious to get on the band wagon next

PUBLIC RECOGNIZED AT LAST-Even the
most severe critics of the Interstate Commerce
COMMISSION will approve its recent ruling that en-
sures low rate for the shipment of surplus war
materials destined to build good roads. Good roads
are the arteries through which the nations wealth
must travel
The issue was raised by the shipment of material
by the Bureau of Public Roads, in the United
States Department of Agriculture to State HIGH
ways departments
The material was shipped as Contractors"
equipment thereby giving it the advantage of the
low rate The railroads objected. They wanted
the States to pay less than carload rates on var
'ols items in such shipments even when the ag-
2regate filled car.
The contention of the Bureau was that since not
any of the material is new and that as it is all in
tended FOR in road construction it should have
the low rate allowed for contractors equipment
The Commission upheld this contention and the
result Is that on one shipment alone from Science
tady, \ Y to Boise, Idaho, $720 was saved to the
state and consequently to the taxpayers.
1t would seem this is not particularly happy
time to make fight against public interest There
is no reason why the lower rate should not prevail
and every reason why it should.
| True, improved roads and the development of
auto truck means reduction in the railroad short
haul, but that is a natural development and the
time has gone by when it is considered wise to
smash machinery because it speeds up production.

lately after a conference at which
Leut.-Col. Pope, Sheriff Sweat, Chief
of Police Flanders and Mayor Cowart
were present, the mayor stated that
the troops probably will be withdrawn
from Waycross some time this week.
The decision to withdraw the troops
means that local officers believe they

Waycross. There have been no dis
orders during the past two weeks.
