SOVIET DIPLOMACY AT GENOA CONFERENCE

The Genoa conference may be failure in all other respects, but it has shown the world that the soviet delegates from Russia are masters ions of the Lenine government number of times since it began to function. We do not, perhaps, have any higher opinion of boshevsm now than we had year or two ago, but regard less of whether or not we agree with their theories, we must admit that the bolshevik lead CTS can match wits with the best statesmen of Europe and by no means come off second best. "Madman," "charlatan" and many other un- complimentary terms have been applied to Lenine, but it is a queer paradox that beaten Russia is the only nation in Europe which is, in position to defy all the others and make or break the Genoa conference. It looks now as if Russia had succeeded in breaking the con- ference
 The little known Russian delegates have more lomats of Europe, including Lloyd George, the "Welsh Wizard" Russia may get the blame for the failure of the Genoa conference if it fails, but the unseemly quarrels among the other nations have been contributing factor. The prospect for speedy rehabilitation of Eu- rope is not encouraging.

to see what the local boys could do,
and also gave them an indication of

DEAR THELMA:

DEAR THELMA:
Last Sunday night an old negro
preacher was expounding on the
meaning of the words FAITH
and KNOWLEDGE."' Jazbo, who
has been working for me a long
time, told me of the incident with
much relish. Jazbo is much bright
er than his skin would indicate.
"Does you niggers know the diff
ference tween F A | I H and

ky Divine.

Deacon Sims, from the front row.

Thelma, the old negro preacher
was right. There's lots of differ
ence in the meanting of those two
words. Many man buys a tire

here, sometimes there; first by one
man, then by another. He's simp-
ly trading on FAITH. He Be-

RETAILERS MAKE
POULTRY MARKET
Year Around Demand For Chick
ems and Eggs Big Benefit
To Farmers

Triton, Feb. 1.-Tifton's inn
portance as poultry and egg market
is shown in the figures announced by
one local dealer, who purchased 49,
900 pounds of poultry and between
5000 and 10000 dozen eggs from
farmers last year. This dealer is
Rickerson Grocery Company, local
retail grocers, and they, like all the
Triton groeers and market men, buy
poultry and eggs the year round,
taking all that are offered by farm
ers who come TO Triton to sell and
trade. A large portion Of Kicker
sons purchases of poultry and eggs
was shipped to Florida, Several of
the local dealers after supplying the
local trade, ship their surplus, most
of the shipments going to Florida.
The egg merket showed a wide
range of prices for the yaer, ranging
from zoe to soc per dozen. Kicker
sons say they paid an average of
27c dozen, or better. The poultry
market was fairly steady, but chick
ems was the principal thing handled,
which included hens, fryers and
ROSTERS. The price paid for these
averaged between 1Sc and zoe a
pound for. the year.
These figures give an idea of the
possibilities in poultry and egg pro-
duction in this section. There is a
year round demand for both at a
good price.
