President Harding has entertained
the captains OF the steel industry and
the captains of the railroad industry at
dinner In the White House for the
purpose of ascertaining their views
and urging them to cooperate with
the government in efforts to better
conditions in those industries and thus
stabilize business. Now there is to be
a White House dinner for the farm
ers- Perhaps before it is all over
there will be a dinner for wage earn
ers. In fact the existing industrial
situation seems to indicate that a din
ner of this sort should take prece-
dence over the one for the Farmers.
The farming industry is doing much
better than some others that could
be mentioned The farmers are not
complaining but the wage earners are.

For the first time since 1902 it Is
reported, Welsh coal is being unloaded
at the port of Boston. The first
shipment includes 800 tons, and will
be followed by others as the market
demands. OF course the reason for
these coal importations IS the short
age occasioned by the strike. The
parties to the coal controversy are
not only keeping themselves out of
wages and profits, but are booming
the industry across the water. and
putting money into the pockets of for
eigners that would be paid to them
selves under normal conditions.

BE SURE TO PLANT A
FEW PEANUTS THIS YEAR

What about Planting peanuts this
year? This question is being asked
by hundreds of South Carolina farm
ers today. The experience of those
who have planted peanuts the last
year or two has not been very hap
py one, but they admit that they are
better off than if they had planted all
cotton or corn or any other so-calIcd
money crop.
The price of peanuts has been dis
appointing it is true, but all farm
products have been alike in this res
pect; and now the peanut market is
the first to recover. Spanish farmers
stock is now bringing $1,000 per ton
and it is natural to suppose that the
price will continue to advance as the
public becomes better acquainted with
the fact that peanut is the most eco
nomical and most wholesome concen-
trated food on the market TODAY for
both man and beast. Advertising is
all that peanut needs to make it one
of our leading food crops. The grow
ers and manufacturers should CO.
operate in advertising it, and trust
that movement to this end will soon
be started.
For planting White Spanish pea
nuts, the kind best suited for all soils
and market conditions, it requires 40
lbs of shelled seed to plant one acre,
dropping one kernel every four inches
in 80 inch rows, or 60 lbs of thorugh-
~ cleaned peanuts in the shell, drop
ping one pod every inches in 80
/. inch rows.
Farmers who have not saved their
own seed had better secure what thew
want Immediately, because good seed
is becoming very scarce. Get the grad
ed and recleaned seed in the shell
now, because the shellcd seed will not
keep until planting time.
Last spring many farmers lost their
crop or poor stand on ac-
count of planting too early. 1t is risky
to plant before the last of April. Nav
would probably be better, and June
just as good.
No time should be lost in preparing
land and putting out fertilizer. Acid
phosphate is dirt cehap and it is the
pest fertilizer for peanuts. Besides,
1t Is 90 per cent. lime, and the more
ter. Peanut planters and weeders
should be ordered at once.

that was adopted by the Senate and
sent to committee where it has been
quietly sleeping ever since.
Referring to this message Senator
Dial recently made this statement:
There are many things about the

investigated; but / have not the least
shadow of doubt about the justice
of my bill and about its suhiciency in
affording great relief to our people
should it be passed. In fact, unless
we have some legislation to help the
cause of cotton production, it will
not be more than year or two until
We shall have to offer premium to
get people to raise cotton in the Unit
ed States. There is now the darkest
outlook for crop of cotton which I

FAIR PLAY ASKED FOR
SALVATION ARMY

The attention of your readers is
called to the desperate attempt of the
opponents of National Prohibition to
break down the morale of the splen-
did Salvation Army. New York City
has a $500,0O0 drive on for their
work. The Chairman of the Commit
tee, Mr.. James Speyer, is head of the
banking firm of Speycr & Company.
Mr.. Spcyer is also one of the vice
presidents of the Association Against
the Prohibition Amendment.
When the newspaper reporters in
formed Commander Evangeline Booth
that Mr.. Speyer was a "wet," she said
Mr.. Speyer is an old esteemed
friend of the Army, but think he will
have to change his views if he is TO
continue g. Chairman of orr drive.
Our stand with respect to Prohibition
is what it has always been, absolutely
tCe-total.'
Because of this consistent a,ti-
tude, the ''wets' are trying to punish
her. She refuses to recede and will
stand regardless of costs. One of New
4ork's great politicians who has the
power to do what he says, has prac-

tically threatened to withdraw the
Salvation Army's permission to So
licit funds in the streets, on the
ground that this utterance of Miss
Booth is politics" Miss Booths adj
dress is 120 West 14th Street, New
York City.
We cannot and must not forget the
splendid work of this organization
during the war days. Then they sacri-
feed and rendered glorious service
for the brave men at home and on
foreign fields. The thirty organiza-
tions that are opposed to National
Prohibition are certainly desperate
when they resort to such measures.
Let every ex-service man that appre-
ciates the service of the Salvation Ar
my rendered during the great World
War send encouragement to Com
mander Booth. Fair play must win.

seventies, Reynolds was q hunter for
the garrison at Fort Rice, N. d. He
was n quiet little man who lived
much to himself and preferred to
hunt alone, no matter how many hos

In the exploration OF the Yellowstone
country in 1873. During his expedi-

the Indians. The next year, while
Reynolds was attending sun dance
or the Sioux near Fort A. Lincoln,
n. d., he heard young chief named
Rain-in-the-Face boast of the murder
OF the two men. Charley reported this
to Custer and Rain-in-the- Face was

"VAMPS" WHO
MADE HISTORY
BY JAMES c. YOUNG.
THE WOMAN WHO WAS JEALOUS
OF HERSELF.

'S by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.)

g HE was woman whom no one
- ever understood, who may have
been the evil genius or the guiding
spirit Of Napoleon III, but who admit
tedly was a beauty without peer. AS
we study the picture Of the Countess
de CastiglioDe we see woman Of am
pie figure, beautifully nodded. and a
face which Is slightly naughty, yet
soft and winsome. She was q woman
OF contrasts. paradoxes and perplexi-
Ties
Born In 1910 Of q noble Florentine
family, at an early age she won the
affection Of Victor Emmanuel, king Of
Piedmont. Ip the course Of things
Cavour, his great minister, conceived
the idea Of sending her to Paris, the
dominant capital of Europe, for the
special purpose Of bewitching Napo-
leon III. The countess came, saw and
conquered.
The existence Of Italy depended up
on French policy. Napoleon III cher
ished nm idea of reclaiming that coun-
try by right of its having been con-
quered under Napoleon I. And the
king Of Piedmont was striving to en-
large his holdings into what now con-
stitutes the kingdom Of Italy. 1t was
the business OF the countess to keep
Napoleon out Of Italy and let Victor
Emmanuel carry on his plans. Ma
poleon stayed out. Italy eventually
became what 1t is today.
She gained complete control OF Ma
p0leon, scheming, narrOw-visioned
man who thought himself great.
Perhaps the countess real love was
herself. Paul Baudry painted an m
draped picture of her, lying on a
couch. 1t was one Of the most beautI-
full canvases which ever came from
his brush. The countess had II hung
In her boudoir. And every day she ex-
amined herself In comparison to the
creation Of loveliness before her eyes.
She grew to fear that she was not so
beautiful as the picture, that she was
fading, that Baudry had fattered her
and set an impossible example. Her
suspicious turned to jealousy Of the
Extraordinarily, Of her very self. And
In a rage she cut the canvas to pieces
with q stiletto.
Then came the war Of T870-71, the
downfall Of Napoleon and the sorrows

resource against the Germans, but the

BUSINESS PROSPERITY
AND SERVICE

The editor of the Atlanta Consti.
tuition writes an editorial upon the
subject of Business and Service" III
which Henry Ford and his business
creed are used with fine effect.
In recent interview with the great
Detroit manufacturer and multimil-
honalre he referred to some of til,
principles by which he had been guided
throughout his career. AS the Con
stltutlon puts it whatever Mr.. Ford
has accomplished has been the rcsu',
OF effort based upon the theory that
individual or business prosperity i.
essentially measured by service.
Mr.. Ford gave a summary of his
business creed as follows:
Il. An absence of unrcasoninc fear
OF the future or vcneration of the
past. One who fears the future, who.
without reason, fears failure, limits
his activities.
-. A disregard of competition.
Whoever does thing best ought to
be the one to do it.
%. The putting of service before
profit. The profit cannot be the ba-
sls-it must be the result of service.
"A. Manufacturing is not buyiny
low and selling high. 1t is the process
of buying materials fairly, and with
the smallest possible addition of cost,
transforming these materials into 9
consumable product"
