FARMERS MUST PLAN
FOR FUTURE MARKETS
Mules Will Always Have Their
Place On The Farm.

Inc lollOWlhR arIlcle ny r.
Peck, Commissioner of Agaicul-
ture, is worth considering by the
farmers of Jackson County.
With the slump in the prices
of horses and mules following
the close of the World War;. live
stock men have. to a large ex.
tent, abandoned the breeding of
their mares. The prices paid
for colts has certainly not been
encouraging very little more
than the service .charge for
stallion or jack. There is no
money in raising colts at pres
ent prices. and if we were look
ing alone to the present, no one
would be justified in raising
them,
But we cannot afford to- look
alone to the present. The pen.
dulum will not remain still.
Prices for mules and good saddle
horses will come back to figures
which will insure a good profit.
| am not prejudiced against the
farm tractor. 1t can give good
service on some farms, where
there is sufficient acreage of level
land it's profitable use. Il can
be used by communities of small
farmers comparatively. but II
cannot and will not take the
place of the mule or draft horse
in much of the farm work dur
ing the cultivating season.
Mules must be available fox
certain work, and the tractor is
idle, or the mules are idle and
eating, When the tractor is
idle we are out the interest on

Farmers are realizing the mule

tor cannot fill. and will be call

advance. and the farmer who
has tie vision and buys young
mules at present low prices will,
by the time these mules are
are ready for the market, get
prices that will pay him we'll.
Good prices for live stock are no
benefit to the farmer who has
no live stock to sell.
| | travel over the State a great
deal, and have been impressed
by the falling off in prodpction
of mules and draft horse, and
also of good saddle horses. The

mand for good saddle horses.
If we would make a succest in
agriculture, we must look ahead
and intelligently anticipate
market demands for our pro.
ducts. Not doing this has been
the cause Of more failures by
farmers than anything else.
We must maintain the fertility
of our soils or produce minimum
crops, Then we must use judge
ment in the selection of the
crops we grow. Next. we must
merchandise our crops so as to
get the best prices. In some
sections this can best be done by
feeding our crops to live stock,
for which there is a market de-
mand. Where we sell grain.
cotton, or hay, we must feed
our products to the market as it
can use them-not dump them
and glut the market, thereby
beating down the prices. This
can be done by the cooperative

pressing demands of warehouse
receipts.
In fact, We may as we'll make

Cable advices received yesterday by the American Express company from its Athens office put at rest the uncertainties prevailing in this coun- try during the past week, regarding the recent action of the Greek gov ernment in attempting to readjust that country's currency.
 "Athense maphtically denies,' read the American Express cable, "any rumors reflecting upon the stability of the National Bank of Greece. or any other Greek bank"
 "The new currency measures have caused only a temporary confusion among the banks, and the law is af- fecting business only by temporary shortage of ready money. The Ma tional Bank of Greece has ruled that all checks and remittances sent to Greece from the United States are to be paid in full in the new currency"
 The Greek exchange has been an unsettled factor during the past week. owing to the dicontinuance of the sale of Greek checks by the American Ex- press company. because of the uncer- tain currencies of the new law On the reassuring strength of this cable 1t was announced by the officials of this company thaU the issuanse of Drachmas checks would be resumed.

CLEARS UP ERROR GATHERED ON TALK
 ANENT BARGAINS
Dr. George R. Stuart Fur nisheS Statement Setting Forth Clauses of Sermon
 Questioned

Considerable discussion has resulted from misunderstanding of what was said recently in the pulpit of the First Methodist church by Dr. George R. Stuart on the subject of bargains and bargain seeking.
 reporter called on Dr. Stuart to ascertain his exact words and they are as follows:
 NO one becomes vicious at once; it is a gradual process One of the greatest crimes committed on earth Is crime that may be denominated "murderous theft" where a human being is murdered for the purpose of robbery There are at least seven gradual steps towards this crime.
 The first is the bargain and the graft. The spirit is the same in both of these: the grafter desires to get more money for less stuff-the bar gain hunter desires to get more stuff for less money. It is perfectly legiti- mate for anyone to sell at the best possible price on a legitimate market and for one to buy at the best possi- ble price on legitimate market but when one seeks on irregular and ab- normal market, either to sell or to buy, the spirit Is in the wrong di- rection. It is a spirit that desires to get more than real values in ex- change"
 The following was used in Illus tration of this particular point: This selfish spirit is indicated by the ad- vantage that people take when bar gains are offered or when goods ar scarce-blind tiger liquor, for in- stance. When one proposes to get 50 cents worth of stuff for ten cents or proposes to get 50 cents for ten cents worth of stuff, the spirit Is the same. It is the spirit of getting something for nothing. It is spirit of seifishness that leads in the wrong direction.
 ''The next step is chance-where one puts up a small amount with the hope of securing large amount when others are involved. This Is the same spirit of seeking something without paying an honest and adequate price for it and it is the second tendency toward crime, If not actually crimi nal.
 The third step Is chance and ef- fort-where one not only takes 9 chance but makes an effort to make the chance good as in a game ot cards, shooting dice and other gamb- ling processes. Here we cross the line where the state takes charge and the act is publicly known as criminal.
 The fourth step is sneaking thefl where one picks up here and there things that do not belong to him.
 'The fifth step is burglary-whert l one breaks through doors and win. dows to find the goods.
 "The sixth step is incendiary and theft-where one destroys property 1 by fire in order that he may secure booty.
 The seventh step and the mos horrible crime Is where 8 man stays his fellowman to rob him of what is supposed to be upon his person.
 "The safe moral teaching is to hold to the highest principles of honesty Take from your brother only that fol which you give just and honest exchange"

FareweH Appearance of Geraldine Farrar
 Is Greatest Triumph

New York, April 22.-Geraldine Far rar's farewell appearance this season with the Metropolitan Opera company was the greatest triumph of her ca reer as America's favorite prima donna.
 She sang for her swan song, the role of Zaza which she created at the Metropolitan and then. crying and laughing, was carried from the audi torium on the shoulders of stage hands, while the great audience cheered and showered her with flow CTS and gifts.
 Long before the time for her per formance crowds of opera lovers, Farrar lovers, crowded into the lobby of the opera house, clamoring for tickets. An hour before the per formance every available foot of standing room was taken and sew eral thousands were turned away at the box office.
 When the curtain first arose or Zaza, the shower of flowers started and at the end Farrar was almost buried in them. Young admirers oi the -prima donna, who had come to the opera as Gerry flappers" kept the auditorium reverberating with their yell, "Hurrah. Farrar Farrar Hurrahw and at one time during the performance they stretched a huge white banner. bearing these words across the orchestra.
 A great American flag was unfurl- ed while it waved over the heads oi the auditor Farrar was given a Jewel- ed sceptre and crown and then a hug dish with the words None but you. Gerry" and signed "Gerry1falp- pers" balloons. to which bouquets oi roses were attached, were sent float ing over her head and great baskets of flowers were brought to her from the wings.
 When the opera ended Farra, brushed the tears from her eyes and said.
 twenty years ago I prayed and hoped and slaved that some day might obtain an achievement within these walls. But never dreamed of anything like this"
 Farrar then was carried to her au- tomobile and buried in another ava lanche of flowers. Finally, the police cleared a lane through the crowd the prima dinna blowing kisses to her admirers as she was driven away

Carpentier Not Such q Heauy Fauorife OUer Kid Leuis

eoncede weight but not so much as was thought when the match was made. Indeed he will be only about 14 pounds shy of Carp when the two step into the ring.
 Another interesting point with the Englishman is that Carp has been against more men bigger than him. self than against men of his own weight or under. This is not alto- gether strange; in fact we have in Harry Greb an example of the same sort.
 Carp "Impressedo
 Carpenter closely watched Lewis when he beat Tom Gunner by a Knockout in ? minutes and 3s sec onds last winter. He professed to be greatly impressed by the English mans skill and hitting power. May be so, but knowing Carp and Des- camps, it would seem that when they are the most impressed, they are the least inclined to admit it.
 Well, anyway British optimism as shown by the change in the betting odds, Is increasing day by day and it is figured now that the English man will take the ring on the short end of the betting by about 2 to l. A lot of Americans would not be slow to take the Carpenter end at these odds. In fact, over here the experts, knowing Lewis well, and having memories of Carps terrible right, dc not see where the English middle weight has chance to win.n
 Tunney-Greb Fight About the time Carpsan Lewis are meeting it looks as though the Amer ican public would be getting het up over a Tunney-Greb fight. The pro- iect is to hold it outdoors in Jersey City on May 27--a Saturday after non. This should be a real encoun- ter. Tunney has not had nearly the experience of the Pittsburger; in fact, although he is a champion, hav- ing beaten the aged Battling Levins- ky for the title. Tunney is hardly more than out of the novice class. Still, he has fine intellect, has Gene, and if he makes the match with Greb, as everyone now expects that he will do, 1t will be only because he thinks he can beat his man. Tunney Is 8 real lion-hearted fighter once he is in the ring. He can hit and is willing to take chances to get hi, punches in. Here Is where he would be likely to show better against Gret 1 than Gibbons, who showed himself | far from willing to trade wallopi with his lighter opponent.
 There is little doubt had Tommy been willing to meet Greb's aggress' | i've tactics he could have beaten thu smoky city windmill. Perhaps Gent Tunney will be the man to prove this next month.

 New York, April 22-Interest In the fight between Georges Carpentier and Ted Kid" Lewis in London on May II Is reflected by the heavy betting now in progress on the other side. There is a surprising amount of confidence in the ability of the English middleweight to stand Carp off. Lewis fine condition and his confidence, as well as stories that the Frenchman is not in good physical condition, have already served to back the odds down from 6 to 1 on Georges to 3 to 1.
 One influential fact that has been circulated about London relates to experience of the two men. Whereas Carp's battles fall short of a hun dred Lewis record contains a list of more than 200 fights, at least 150 of them against top notchers in all classes. ranging from light to mid dle.
 The British experts figure also that Carp's worst defeats were inflicted by fighters whose style and type were of the sort that Lewis has met with conspicuous success. Lewis will

Big League Star Out
 To Break Post Records

but in comparison with Schalk they faded into insignificance. For Schalk has caught 100 or more games every season since 1913-nine consecutive years. It is 8 record that probably will endure for all time for the simple reason that, in the first place, few catchers last nine full years and only one out of 50 is able to stand the strain of ceaseless back stopping after few years in major league company.
 Shalk broke into the game in 1912 1 and caught 32 combats Tn that year. In 1913 he became regular and 1 caught 12S games. In 1914 it was 1855. Only once since 1913 has he caught less than l25 games. That
 was in 1918, when the schedule was shortened, and when he figured through 12S diamond duels.
