1t still remains fact that the
negro Is permanent fixture in the
South. He will not go out. He cannot
be killed out. Several thousand men
cannot be destroyed nor removed in
a day by the snap of finger, nor by
the belching forth of deadly guns.
We are down to hard work trying
to make the best of ourselves that we
can. The masses Of the negro are
working hard, accommodating property
and character, enriching the nation
by their Industrious arms, fighting
for the stars and stripes, and serving
God. And that God will shape for
them grand and noble destiny. God
has always taken care of these
questions and | believe he will con
tinue to do So

If you dip a saw into pail OF

But if the dampness is allowed to

careful to keep them free from rust
Roads cost many thousands OF
dollars, and we allow them to become

Can you supply satisfactory

Make home attractive for the
children and they will not hunger
for the attractions of the street.
Children are not interested In mar
ket quotations, or political discuss
ions, or the latest morsel of scandal.
They require diversions suitable to
their age, and when these diversions
.:are not to be had in the home, their
minds naturally turn to where they
are to be found.
Parents who understand this have
little difficulty in controlling their
children and making them credit

The Searchlight, Wash, D. C.-The
estimates for next years appropria-
tions, submitted to Congress by the
President through the new budget di-
rector, contcmplates no appreciable
decrease in army and navy expendi-
lures. This report of the budget went
to Congress Dec. 5, with the disarma-
mcnt conference in session, yet it
seeks a continuance of military appro-
priations upon practically the old basis.
For the present fiscal year the army
had $685., $3.50, 062.41. The amount Pres
ident Harding now asks Congress to
appropriate for the War Department
next year is $360,500,92
This year the navy had $425, $780,
O79.37. For the next year, the admin
istration asks that the Navy Depart
ment be given $425,952, 367.13.
There is an actual increase in what
is sought for the navy. The army es-
innate is about twenty millions less,
which can be accounted for largely in
the decreased cost of clothing, food
and supplies.
A most significant indication of
what our future military activities
may be is found in the section of this
budget dealing with the Chemical
Warfare Service. For ~ ases or other
toxic substances" etc., Congress is
now asked to appropriate 81, 100000 a

MANUFACTURERS AND RETAIL
,r,@ PRICES

Unusual Importance attaches to the
decision of the United States Supreme
Court, in what is known as the Beech
Nut case, that manufacturers cannot
undertake to fix retail prices. In con-
nection with the standardization of
products and trade names, manufac-
.turers Of numerous articles, large and
small, have undertaken to set the re-
sale prices with the object of main
tanning uniformity Of prices every
where.
The opinion Of the court was that
measures applied against retailers to
force them to uphold the manufacture
er's price constitute sitting Of COM
petition and restraint Of trade.
Whereas there are many apparent
benefits to the Standardization of pric.
es, it seems to be clear, beyond any
doubt, that. in many instances, it re.
suits in maintaining prices that are
too high, and it is, therefore, inimical
to public interest.
Though there might be some ques-
ton as to whether tacit understand
ing among competing manufacturers
regarding prices would, with actual
selling rivalry, be either restraint Of
trade or suppression of completion, it
certainly would be construed as being
antagonistic to the public welfare.
The Supreme Courts decision in the
resale-price case may be taken to sig
nifty radical changes in certain mer-
camille methods.

D0UKAdE IN SPRING WHEAT
SHOWS ALARMING INCREASE

In every 20 bushels OF spring wheat
thrashed annually in the United States
there is l bushel of dockage which is
largely weed seeds, according to On es-
innate made by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture based on tig-
ures for the 1921 crop produced in
Minnesota, North Dakota, and South
Dakota. If all of the dockage were to
be cleaned out Of tho spring wheat
raised and shi pped to market separate
~, it would fill more than 5000 freight
cars containing $4,000 pounds each:
Records of grain inspection in Min
nesota show that for the last Is years
the percentage Of dockage in wheat ar
irving at the terminal markets in that
state has gradually increased. The
average dockagc for 1903 was % per
cent, for the 6-year period ending
1914, 90 per cent. and for the 6-year
period ending 1920 twas 40 per cent,
while for the 1920 crop Of wheat alone
marketed up to January l, 1921, the
average dockage was 81 per cent.
This means that the 1921 crop of
spring wheat produced in Minnesota,
North Dakota and South Dakota alone
contained more than 100000 bushels
Of dockage. Assuming that the 81 per
cent is representative for the total crop
Of spring wheat, it means that more
than IL, 100000 bushels Of 60 pounds
each Of dockage was grown and thrash
ed in the United States last year.
Fully 90 per cent of the dockage could
easily have been removed. it is said.
by the proper use Of an ordinary farm
tanning mill.
Realization Of these conditions
prompted specialists Of the department
to design grain recleaner attach
ment for thrashing machines to remove
this dockage from the wheat as a part
Of the thrashing operation. Prclimi-
nary tests Of this recleaner indicate its
practicahility.

More Working Capital for Farmers

Washington - President Harding,
opening the national agricultural con.
ference here, outlined a comprehen-
sive program: for meeting the grim
reality of the present crisis in agricul-
ture.'' x. 5" ::
Warning that if the nation fails to
aid the farmer it: will 'precipitate
disaster that will affect every. indus
rial and commercial activity" the
president made seven specific recon-
mendations to the 1926 leaders of agri-
culture and related lines here for the
conference. These were:
Extension of farmers cooperative
marketing organizations President
Harding Endorsed indirectly legisla-
ton now pending in congress to ex-
empt these organizations from the
working of the antitrust laws.
Provision must be made for much
greater working capital" for the far
mers. Means must be taken by the
government and private business to
insure that turnover capital shall be
generously supplied to the farmer and
on as reasonable terms as to other in
dustries."
The government must place more
essential and scientific information at
the disposal OF the farmers
10 aid both the farmer and consunl-
er, measures must be taken to prevent
violent price fluctuations which result
from unorganized and haphazard pro-
duction.'
The farmers will be benefited by far
seeing and wise transportation poll
cles. In this connection. the president
recommended greater use of water
ways and suggested that eventually
nearly all of the railroads of the coun-
try be electrified. He also risked
arousing the ire of eastern republicans
by giving unqualified Endorsement to
the Great Lakes waterway project

I find that spelling and grammar be-
gan to improve after our boys began
to graduate from Harvard. These
"great men, educated at Oxford and
Cambridge, Eng, could even spell
backward, and they did that about all
the time. Of course, they had no uni
formity in spelling, as Webster's little
book had not been printed.

CONSIDER THE GAS SALESMAN

Wadena Pioneer-Journal:-Did your
merchants ever stop to "fgger' that
your expenses per hour are more when
driving your car at 6 miles an hour
than it is when driving at 30 miles an
hour. It may cost you more money
Fer mile but less money per hour.
Or, did you ever stop to "fgger'
that your expense per article was larg
er when making sales amounting to
5000 per day, than when making sales
amounting to $3.50 per day. It may
cost you more money per day, but not
per article.
A slight Tush On the accellerator in
either case, will save you lot Of
money. Advertising is the business ac-
cellerator. The same car, the same
driver, and less time when travelling
at 80 miles an hour. The same clerk
