An appreciation in Jingle Rhyme
Oh, we talk about old Georgia
With her mountins and her hills,
Her college and learning
But what about her mills?
We boast about her beauty, and
Sometimes her money, too
But what about her products
That she's turning out for you?
What good are hills and
Mountains if Our wants she can't
supply?
What good is college training
If from others we must buy?
Oh, yes there's lots of beauty
And money I should say!
But we still must have
The ginghams and the shoes and

Now you know we've got the
Ginghams, for you saw 1t at the show

WHAT DAIRYING MAY
MEAN TO YOU
(By J. T. Pittman)

- w ). l. IlttlildllJ
The soil needs more fertility. the
people must have more milk and but
ter, the loss from boil weevil and re-
duced cotton acreage should be re-
placed by other activities; therefore,
diversified crops and dairy cows are
necessary. In past years cotton has
been the backbone OF our agriculture,
it has also been the means of keeping
the farmer in one crop systm, making
the land poorer each year.
The one crop system and the prac-
tice of selling everything away certain
ly is the cause of the land becoming
poorer and poorer and the cost of pro-
duction becomes greater every year.
Draw your own conclusion, a depleted
soil, small YIELDS greater cost of pro-
duction, you cannot figure anything
else. 1t is time to halt this land rob-
bling and children starving businesses.
1t is serious mistake to let the chill
dren go hungry and it is a crime to
let them grow up in ignorance.
Bring the dairy COW in and let her
aid you to market your crop and to
build up your soils. Sell cotton seed
meal and some other farm crops and
you sell soil fertility. Feed it to your
dairy COW and she will pay you we'll
for it.
A few dairy cows on the farm need
not and should not interfere with a
cotton crop. Cut the cotton acreage
and increase the yield per acre. Five
dairy cows on the farm will make
more money compared with the cost
to operate than an equal amount in
cotton. Not much chance to lose on
the dairy proposition if you give the
same attention to the cows as you
VIII give to the cotton, on the other
hand, you have big chance to lose on
the cotton crop In one case the land
grows richer, your yields per acre are
greater all the time while in the other
the fertility of the land is being sold
Off and the production grows smaller
each year.
Soil fertility is not the only advan-
tage you have with the dairy COW.
The skim milk will aid you to raise
fine hogs and poultry. The calf should
be worth at least SIS. But the most
important is the weekly or monthly
check coming in enabling you to pay
cash for groceries and other incidentals
that would otherwise be bought on
credit
You cannot make a mistake by
growing into the dairy business or
live stock industry. You notice, I say
GROWING into it. You can make
serious mistake to jump into the dairy
or live stock business on a large scale
if you don't know anything about it,
or if you fail to grow your food and
prepare permanent pastures. The live
stock business requires feed, feed and
more feed, and the most of the feed
should be grown on the farm.
Millions of dollars Of our good mon
ey is going to the North and West ev-
cry year for product that we can pro
duce ourselves. A great number of
the farmers are overlooking an oppor
tunity. Many are awakening to these
facts and beginning to keep more
cows. It is gratifying to see the pro-
gress they are making.

QUERY PRESIDENTS
OF OIL COMPANIES
Members of Senate Investigat-

Two Corporations.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23-(By A.
P.)-Affairs Of two oil companies.
the Prairie Oil & Gas and the Stan
dard oil Of New York were delved in
to today by the senate oil investiga-
ting committee, with the respective
presidents OF the two corporations
James II. O'Neill and II. &. Folger
as the principal witnesses.
Inquiry into the identity of the
larger stockholders Of the TWO con-
Germs was pursued at length
through questions by Gilbert Z.
Rock, attorney for the committee,
and brought from Mr.. O'Neil that
eight interests owned 81 per cent OF
the stock OF his company and from
Mr.. Folger that four inter ests held
approximately 35 per cent OF his
company's 81 tock.
Mr.. O'Neil was questioned close
ly as TO the reason that prices for
crude oil posted in the mid-contin-
ent field by the fve leading buying
companies had risen and fallen al
most simultaneously during 1921
and 1922. but declared that il could
not be considered unusual and was
natural process. He asserted en-
phatically several times that the rise
and fan OF prices was not proceeded
by any conferences between the com
peting companies.
The Prairie Oil & Gas Company's
president declared that production
OF crude oil in the United States had
reached It's peak and that within ten
years American refners would be
forced 10 get at least so percent of
their supply from foreign countries.

COURT SANCTIONS
NORTHERN INDIANA
UTILITY GO M BIN E
Supreme Tribunal Declares
Commissions AuihOriza-

INDIANAPOLIS. Dec, %. - (By
A. P)-The consolidation Of seven
northern Indiana public utilities
into the Indiana Electric Corp. was
legally authorized by the public
service commission. the Indiana su-
preme court held today.
The decision, written by Justice
Ewbank, but from which Justice
Willoughby dissented, reversed the
verdict of Judge Hay of the Marion
Superior court Judge Hay held
that the consolidation as authorized
by the commission was illegal.
The companies which II was then
proposed TO consolidate have in part
been brought together in the new
Northern Indiana Power Co, which
was recently organized and which
was recently authorized by the COM
mission TO effect a consolidation of
seven companies. There was little
opposition to the Northern Indiana
Power Co.'S petition.
The proposed Indiana Electric
Corp. merger brought strenuous pro
tests from various public officials
and eliminated in a street parade of
Indianapolis citizens. led by Mayor
Shank, TO the state house TO call
upon Gov. McCray and the public
service commission to halt the con-
solidation.
The companies which It was pro-
posed to consolidate were the Mer-
chants Heat and Light Co, OF In
dianapolis; Valparaiso Lighting Co.
Indiana Railways and Light Co. of
Kokomo; Elkhart Gas * Fuel Co.;
Wabash Valley Electric Co, of Clin-
ton; Putnam Electric Co. of Green
castle, and the Cloverdale & Cayu-
aga Electric Co.
In his opinion, Justice Ewbank
said:
The public service commission is
not shown by the facts alleged to
have been without Jurisdiction. nor
IS the order complained OF shown
to have been fraudulent. Therefor
the complaint does not state facts
sufficient to constitute a cause for
action"
The mere averment that the prop
erty 10 be consolidated was worth
more than $1O,3O6.OCO was insult
fcIent TO show that the commission
had fraudulently made the valua-
tion at S9,3OO,OOO, the court held.

CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
FAILS TO ACTUATE
LAUSANNE PARLEY
Turkish Delegate Refuses to
Exempt Christians From
Military Duty.

LAUSANNE, Dec. 22-(By A. P)
Christmas threatens to be a
stormy time at the Lausanne Near
East conference. Thursday was a
bad day; today was worse. A tenn
per which did not seem TO harmon
ize with the usual spirit of the Yule-
tide pervaded today's session of the
sub-commission on minorities.
Efforts were made to get DR.. Ria
Nur Bey, the second Turkish dele
gate, who formerly was accredited
by the Angora government TO re-
present it at Moscow, to agree to the
exemption of the Christian minori-
ties in Turkey from military serv-
ice But he refused fatty and seem
ingly sullenly. He declined to give
any reason for this dechnation and
several others equally as fiat.
"No Christmas Presents"
NJ. I.arOche of the French delega-
ton made an appeal TO Ria Nur
Bey on military exemption saying
Come on, make the allies a little
Christmas present on this point"
The Turkish delegate, however, re-
torted angrily. 1--WE don't believe in
Christmas presents"
Ria Nur Bey also refused to
agree to q provision for the pre-
servation Of Christian Gem eteries in
Turkey.
The allies insisted upon considera-
ton Of the clause providing that the
Turks must respect the work done
under the League of Nations in re-
cognizing and restoring 10 their IA
miles Christian women and children
who were seized and Mosiemized by
'tlre~ Turks at the close OF the war,
The Turk also declined to agree to
this provision andSthe sub-commis-
sion ended the session seemingly
with a feeling Of utter disgust at
the attitude of Ria Nur Bey, which
several members of the sub-com-
mission described as highly insO-
lent"
Receives Instructions.
The Turkish delegation has re-
ceived instructions from Angora
that no agreements are to be MADE
at Lausa me on economic questions
which are to lie over for negotia-
tion at some later time.
This has created dissatisfaction
among the allies, especially the
French who are anxious that econO-
mic questions should be settled at
this conference.
