Not infrequently the proponent Of
vigorous Americsnization program
is answered with ooh, what's the usey
A few foreigners, more or less, who
don't understand US, won't hurt -
There are plenty of patriotic and
sentimental reasons why ga few more
or less" will hurt and hurt badly.
And there are as many pratical rea-
sons. Bolshevsm, Red propaganda,
Sovietism radicalism Of all kinds, are
not spread in America by Americans,
but by foreigners. Short of deport-
ing all foreigners, which is unthink-
able in peace time, there is no other
plan save that of Approximation,
which will keep this the America of
Americans instead of a try-out sta
tion for wild communistic and anar-
chistic schemes.
An instance of the need of greater
vigilence in Americanization work is
at hand in the funny reports printed
in German papers regarding the cleo
ton. According to some of these,
President Harding is about to resign,
Governor Smith Iof New York is to
become President, the prohibition
laws were repealed, the entire Con-
gress was turned out of Office, and a
new one installed.
If all German, French, Austrian,
| and Polish children in the country
knew of their own knowledge, from
proper Americanization education, the
facts about this country, it is hardly
possible that their parents and grand
parents, in writing to Europe, could
fail to give true, rather than false
picture of political conditions in this
country. 1t may be argued that it
doesn't make any difference if Ger
many is told by her newspapers a set
of untruths about our domestic cleo
tions, but that is not the point. Mis-
| representation and misunderstanding
Of one country by another, interfere
with trade, cause friction, and some
times war, and prevent the spread of
culture and education, and thus of
civilization.
Not to realize that Americanization
is as important to our foreign children
and their parents, as education is both
TO them and 10 American children, is
to remain unconscious of one Of the
vital problems which is to-day faced
| by the land we love.

SYSTEMATIC MARKETING OF
COTTON STABILizES PRICES

Columbia, Nov. 27A Cooperative
marketing of cotton is the greatest
constructive force now working for
the development of Southern pros.
perity, in the opinion of Carl Will
liams, President of the American Cot
ton Growers Exchange. Mr. Williams
has been in Columbia for two days in
conference with the Board Of Direct
ors and management of the South
Carolina cotton Growers, Association.
"The orderly marketing program
followed by the cotton cooperatives
OF the South, is generally acknowl-
edged to be great stabilizing force
on cotton prices" said Mr.. Williams.
"Thus it has assured the Southern far
mers of the good price for cotton
during the period when farmers them
selves had cotton to sell. This same
result has been experienced by other
commodity cooperative associations in
the United States. Those agricul.
tural sections, which have profited for
the longest period by this system of
marketing, are today first in the
United States in per capita bank de.
posts and among farmers, first in
per capita trade in stores, first in
good roads, first in quality of rural
schools first in salaries of country
teachers, first in number and size of
country churches, first in salaries of
rural preachers and first in rural rec.
reation.
"These things have a direct rela,
ton to city and town business. The
effect of the cooperatives has been to
increase the percentage of the con
sumer's time, which the farmer re-
ceives, and thereby to increase hi,
buying power and raise his standard
OF living. The natural result is that
all business is benefited proportion
ately.
Il am very much pleased with tho
progress of South Carolina Cottor
Growers Cooperative Association and
equally we'll pleased with the support
which has been given the Association
by farmers, business men and bankers
OF this state. The Association L.s
already passed the experimental stage
and has become a permanent part OF
the life of South Carolina. There
is every indication that it will handle
more than 20 per cent of the total
cotton crop of South Carolina this
year, and that it has become domi.
nant figure in the cotton business of
this state
Eight other state organizations of
similar size, character and policies
are working with the South Carolina
Association. Their total member.
ship is more than 175,OOO cotton far
mers."

That Atlanta has passed the crest

With regard to the possession of

This, he said, should apply even to
firearms kept in private houses for
purposes of protection.
Persons selling used cars also
should be forced to give bills of sale

u. S. Marshall Says 1t Has More
Distilling Than Any Other
8 or 4 States

ATLANTA, May Pit will re-
quire two years for the third United
States judge, proposed for Georgia,
to clear up the congested docket in
the northern district, and rs per cent
of his time will be taken up in trying
cases in the Atlanta division, United
States Marshal Walter Alderman de-
claerd in letter addressed to Sena-
tor Knute Nelson, of the senate
judiciary committee.
Mr.. Akerman recommended the APP
pointment of five additional United
States deputy marshals to handle the
work which will be entailed by the
appointment of the third judge. He
had been requested by the depart
ment to make a report on the work
of his office and to recommend any
changes he thought would be requir-
ed by the appointment of the third
judge.
That there is more illicit distilling
in the mountains of Northwest Geor-
gia. than in three or four states COM
bined in any other part of the coun-
try and that the deputy marshals
are required to devote large part
of their time to combating prohi-
bition law violations was another
point stressed in the letter.
Mr. Alderman also made the point
that the number of cases handled
in the northern district of Georgia
was second only to the total disposed
of in the southern district of New
York.
