WE MUST
UNBEND BACKS
BY Richard Lloyd Jones.

Hanging heavily about his neck, the
sack of seed bowed down the ancient
sower. Today, without weight, he on
ly holds the reins that drive the faith
full team that haul around his harrow
ed field, the modern seeder.
Today we nc 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 of patches.
Once we used to bend our backs to
drop the kernels Of corn and finger
over the soil hat covered them. To-
day 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 tether by horse. Maud Muller
had to walk the stumbled field when
she raked the new-mown hay. Today
a loader lifts it on the rack and a har-
poon throws it on the stack.
Millet, the great French painter of
peasants, pictured the harvester bend
ing low to swing his sickle. Then
came the cradle. AT last a Cyrus Nc
Cormick found a reaper, which in its
turn became the harvester, cutting
and binding the ripened grain.
Threshing once done by faying the
floor is now done by the threshing ma
chine, without which the great fields
OF grain WI now SOW could never be
gathered in huge elevators.
We have made more work possible
by making work easier. We let the
wind lift Our water. The tractor has
ome to release the horse.
The inventor is the great farm help
er. The machinist has multiplied both
the muscle and the skill of the farm
hand. We work more, produce more
and labor less. Dull drudgery is fast
being made a story of the past.
The soil hat cultivated %sullenness
in the days of Millet is c%ultivating
skill and prosperity today.
The telephone has brought the far
mer into %conversing distance with his
next county neighbor.
The automobile has changed the
measure OF distance. We talk not of
miles but of fitness of the roads.
The moving picture has brought the
ablest actor and the best in drama to
our own town opera house.
The farm that once was the young
mans idea of what he should flee
from is now beginning to lure the
town boy as the ideal vocation to
work toward.
Throughout all the world the basic
business is the production of food and
shelter. The farm is the bulk produ-
GER; the town the refiner. That bust
ness has grown more productive and
more profitable as it has grown less
irksome and more alluring. The bust
ness farmer is the machine farmer.
We build bigger as we unbend
backs. When the tiller of the soil is
emancipated from toll, when he is able
to stand erect and be a worker, as
every business man is a worker, using
more head than hand, then do his eyes
behold the beauties of the countryside
of which the poets preach. Then does
the farmer become not the man with
the hoe, but the man with the hope.
Nothing puts this world forward
faster than unbending backs.

HIS ONE WISH.

Mr.. jenkins, a prominent colored
citizen of Macon, Ca, had just lost his
wife. To a friend who expressed some
surprise that Mr.. Jenkins should be
preparing to leave town and who po-
litely inquired as TO the eason for the
departure, the widower remarked:
81 don't know jest what I will do,
Elijah, but Is always had a desire to
become a Mormon"
"a Mormon" repeated the friend.

The controversy which has existed
at Somers Point between the Volun-
teer Fire Company and the Paid Fire
Department is likely to reach a def

The two companies have been at odds
ever since the creation of the Paid

a time the feeling was quite bitter on
each side. Recently plans We're start
ed to bring the two companies to a
complete understanding for the gen
eral good of the community so far as
fire fighting is concerned.
At a meeting of the Volunteer Fire
Company last week, James G. Scull
was selected to represent this organi-
Zation at a conference which is TO be
held soon. Former County Judge E.

SECRETARY WEEKS
PUTS FORD OFFER
Up TO LAW MAKERS
PROPOSAL FOR LEASE OR PuR.
CHASE OF MUSCLE SHOALS
PRESENTED CONGRESS TO Ac.
cEPT OR REJEcT-Asks FUR.
TIER GUARANTEES.

Washington. Feb. 3.-Secretary o
War Weeks Thursday sent Henry
Fords offer for Muscle Shoals to Con
rress He made no recommendation
for or against II, but urges immediate
action.
"Last minute changes" in the con
tract. making stronger the guarantees
OF good faith to the government. lei
administration officials to regard thj
Ford offer as zone of value" he said
The principal changes were said t.
be-
Mr. Ford agrees to continue manu-
facture OF nitrogen and other fertilia.

ing.
He guarantees the fertilizer pro.
ducts will be sold for not more than
8 per cent profit.
He guarantees to maintain the plant
in its wartime state of readiness for
the manufacture of explosives in the
event Of war.
Secretary Weeks suggested further
notifications in the contract for adj.
ditional guarantees that, II approved,
IL Will be carried out.
He asked that Congress make pro.
visions to insure carrying on. OF the
contract once it is started. no mat
ter what difficulties may face the
projectors of the plan and TO guar
antee the right of the government TO
proceed legally against the com.
panv Mr. Ford proposes to handle il
it fails to carry out its contract to the
letter
He combats Mr.. Ford's demand for
l00-year contract, saying it would
be better to limit the proposed con-
tract TO fifty years Ito conform to the
established policy of the federal gov
eminent as set out in the water power
act"
The secretary said submission TO
Congress of the first Ford proposal
was delayed because he did not be.
lieve sufficient guarantees we're
given and the delay. he said, saved
The government $40 100000 in con-
struction costs.
Even il Congress accepts the
offer Mr.. Ford may face legal pro-
ceedings over conflicting contrac-
tursl obligation from the Air
Nitrates Corporation, the Alabama
Power Company and the American
Cyanamid Company, Secretary Weeks
iritimated This is borne out bv
Maj. C. G. Williams, chief OF ord
nance, whose analysis Of the Fcrd
offer was transmitted to Congress
with Secretary Weeks views, but is
discounted by Maj. John A. Smith,
Judge advocate.
Mai Williams said the Ford offer
government of less than $5.000000 |
for properties which have an esti- |
mated value of $4,000. 900.
1.-THE diffeence, 100000, appears.
therefore, to be the price the United /
States is paying for nitrogen pre-
paredness and if the plant is diverted |
to any purposes which do not include !
nitrogen fxation. this asset is lost to |
the government" his report says.
While pointing out that the cost |
estimates for construction Of the pro |
ject given by army engineers and by
engineers employed by Mr. Ford vary
~ q large extent. Mai Gen Lansing
n Beach, chief of engineers in a re-
port submitted to Secretary Weeks
and also transmitted to Congress. said
the United States would benefit great |
" from the Ford offer.
Employment on large scale was
another reason given for acceptance |
OF the offer.
