COMMISSIONER J. J. BROWN
PLEDGES SOULE SUPPORT

ATHENS, Jan. 24.-The State
College of Agriculture and the De-
partment of Agriculture are in closer
accord today than ever before in
their history. This fact was definite
ly established at the great Farmers
eek-and Agricultural Conference"
here Tuesday when J. J. Brown, COM
missioner of agriculture, said before
an audience of a thousand farmers,
bankers and business men directing
his remarks to DR.. Soule, president of
the Georgia college:
81 pledge you, DR.. Soule, my best
efforts toward getting the state leg
islature of Georgia to provide suffic-
lent funds for her state agricultural
college. Furthermore, am here to
offer you my heart and hand in token
of full cooperation with your institu-
ton. Partisan politics, so far as they
concern the farmer, are dead"
Considerable interest and signifi-
canoe is attached to this part of the
address by Mr.. Brown, because it is
a well-known fact that the relations
between the college and department
of agriculture were generally conced-
ed to be greatly strained.

The new agreement will be sub

SOUTH CAROLINA SEEKS
MORE COTTON MILLS

COLUMBIA, S. c., Jan. 24.-In-
vestigation to ascertain why South
Carolina has not gained as rapidly in
manufacturing industries as have
other southeastern states was recon-
mended to the general assembly, here
Tuesday by Governor Thomas G. Nc
Leod in a special message. He urged
the legislature to determine whether
the tax situation within the state was
such as to discourage manufacturers
from establishing factories or
branches, particularly textile plants,
in the state. The committee would
report within thirty days.
The governor in his message point
ed out figures furnished him which
indicated that the number of cotton
creased Is per cent in ten years, while
North Carolina had shown an in
crease of So per cent, Georgia "a
per cent and Alabama A per cent.
He told the assembly that capital
stock invested in mills on January l,
1922, in South Carolina was $119,-
O35,37O and in North Carolina $780,
035,370.
"It is now generally conceded"
said the governor, "that some of the
large manufacturing and textile
plants of New England are consider
ing removing to the Sonth. That it
will be. to their manifest advantage
to do so needs no argument. Here

they will be at the bash of supplies,
in a workable climate the year round
and may enjoy many other advant-
ages which they cannot have in New
England or elsewhere. If this is true
we want as many of them as posi-
bic. Besides we want the inspiration
and encouragement they would give
to our own people along the same
lines of development"

That the Chevrolet Motor company

SULPHUR is BEST
TO CLEAR UP UGLY,
BROKEN OUT SKIN

Any breaking out or skin irritation
on face, neck or body is overcome
quickest by applying Mentho-S Sulphur,
says a noted skin specialist. Because
of its germ destroying properties, moth
ing has ever been found to take the
place of this sulphur preparation that
instantly brings ease from the itching,
burning and irritation.

WHAT is NEWS?

Metropolitan dailies of the United
States have carried pages CT pub
icity and illustrations of the Demp-
sey-Gibbons prize fight or boxing
match" at Shelby, Montana. Re-
lays of airplanes rushed photographs
to the Atlantic coast for publication
and no amount of money was spared
to picture the event through the
press and the films. Dempsey has
been given millions of dollars worth
of advertising which will pave the
way for his proposed fight with
Luis Firpo, the recent victor over
Willard.
Contrast the publicity given to
these events with the few lines that
are sent out over the wires when
a railroad places a $4,000, 900 or
der for equipment or material which
will give employment to thousands
of workmen for months; or when d
hydro-electric plant, built at cost
of from S25, 100000 to 100000
900, turns in the water that makes
electric current for thousands of
homes, farms and factories; or when
a telephone cable is laid ut an ex-
pense Ct $35,OOO,O0O from Chicago
to New York for the better service
of millions of people. Such events
may be given paragraph over the
wires.
And so it goes. Industry that
furnishes the bread and butter and
keeps the wheels of progress going
is such an ordinary occurrence it is
given scant attention and is not con-
sidered important news.

SHOOTS AT SILENT POLICE.

Commissioner C. M. Babcock of
the state highway department has
sent out suggestions that the silent
policemen or standards in street in
tersections tend to impede traffic
and cause accidents. The commits
sioner says that four small markers
placed one in the center of each
street at about the sidewalk line will
guide traffic and allow it to move
easier and more safely.
Commissioner Babcock announced
also that the new law effective Dec.
L, against billboards and advertising
signs on the highways will be en-
forced by the state on trunk routes.
Assuming that authorities here will
remove signs from local roads, he
proposes advance warning that firms
may salvage signs if they wish.
Legal notice and other bulletin
boards and official markers will be
permitted, according to the commits
sioner, and the department will put
up signs directing tourists to COM
munity camps where they are well
equipped and maintained. Highway
maps next year may show good free
camping sites.
We beg to differ with Commits
sioner Babcock. In this city, at
least, the silent policemen in the

u. S. VETERANS BUREAU
HOSPITAL SITUATION.

A recent survey of the hospital
situation in Minnesota shows that
there are a number of vacant beds
available for ex-service men in the
hospitals under the control of the
U. S. Veterans Bureau, says re-
port from the Bureau.
U. S. v. Hospital No. 65 (Aber-
deem with a capacity of $40 beds,
has at the time of writing 264
patients.
U. S. v. Hospital No. G8 (Ash-
bury) with capacity of 1926 beds,
has at this date 289 patients.
U. S. V. Hospital No. ~ at
Helena, Montana, recently convert
ed into a tubercular hospital for
the whole of District No. 10, with
a capacity of 800 beds, has at the
present time only IA patients, A of
whom are strictly tubercular.
Up to the present time, 60 tuber-
cular ex-service men patients in hos
pitfalls in District No. 10 have been
transferred to Milwaukee from the
State of Minnesota and all of these
were transferred entirely of their
own free will and accord, this in
spite of the many rumors that trans
fers to Milwaukee would be COM
pulsory. There still remain 80
tubercular cases in Thomas Hos
pital, Minneapolis, Mimi, contract
hospital. There are, however, only
20 patients at the present time
throughout the District in general
contract hospitals apart from State
Hospitals and sanatoria.
There are 10S cases in various
sanatoria throughout the 10th Dis
trict and 1S9 Neuro- psychiatric
cases in State hospitals and san
atoria. AS has already been stated
in the Press, building operations
for the new Government Hospital
for N. P. cases at st. Cloud has al
ready started and every effort will
be made to complete this institution
in record time.
With reference to the contract
of the Veterans Bureau in me vari-
Gus hospitals throughout the Dis
trict, there are at the present time
1850 men in hospitals, sanatoria and
asylums Admissions for the last
month were 461 and discharges SAB.
Out of the whole of this number,
1850, only &c of the compensation
claims remain unadjusted, that is,
unadjusted to the entire satisfaction
of the man himself. There were
500 awarded claims and 1877 dis
ability claims with no service con-
nection, or less than 1910 dis
allowed.
1t will be seen by the above fig
ures that the hospital situation not
only in Minnesota but throughout
the 10th District, comprising the
States of Montana, North and South
Dakota and Minnesota, appears to
be. entirely satisfactory.

GROUP OF DISABLED VETERANS
SETTLE NEAR GRAND RAPIDS.

Fifteen agricultural trainees OF
the U. S. Veterans Bureau have
recently purchased land near Grand
Rapids, Minnesota. All except three
are in one neighborhood, just south
of Pokegama lake. They are form
ing real farm settlement and are
warmly welcomed by townspeople
and neighboring farmers alike.
Everyone stands ready to give them
EVERY possible assistance in get
ting a good start.
Several of the men are married
and will bring their families to the
settlement as soon as homes can be
prepared for them. Then they will
be in a position to proceed with the
development of their farms. No
man bought more than eighty acres,
and most of them only forty. They
plan on small one-man farms, in
tensively cultivated, making a spe-
cialty of fruits, berries, poultry and
small scale dairying.
Those near Pokegama lake are
favorably situated for growing small
fruits for the lake will prevent
early fall frosts and at the same
time assure them of the necessary
moisture for developing and ripen-
ing their high-priced crops. The
city of Grand Rapids, and the sum-
mer jewellers at Pokegama and
other lakes will afford them a ready
market for cream, berries, eggs and
chickens at top prices.
One man in this colony wears
the Distinguished Service Cross
awarded for his bravery in carrying
messages through heavy enemy fire
in order to secure reinforcements.
He was wounded twice in action.
He also wears the French Croix de
Guerre given him for his bravery
in rescuing a wounded French offic-
err.
All the men were disabled in the
service of their country, end are
ready to make brave fight to win
their own economic independence.
These men are all receiving train
ing in practical agriculture under
the auspices of the U. S. Veterans
Bureau. Instruction will be given
them for a period of approximately

end of their training period they
can obtain long time loans, not to
exceed forty years, from the Min
nesota Rural Credits Bureau to take
care of any unpaid balance. At
the end of their training period,
each man will have a practical edu-
cation gained concurrently with the
of his small farm.
Each veteran will, therefore, be
splendidly equipped for his work as
a farmer.

GOOD ROADS HELP ALL.

1t costs a man considerable time
and money to get his crops to mar
ket. This expense naturally reduces
his profits.
If he hauls his product in a
motor truck and the roads are bad,
his engine consumes enormous
quantities of gas.
If it be moved by horse and
wagon, the load must be lightened
and the speed reduced, thus con-
Stunning more time-and time must
be paid for in the hire of his men
and jim the feed for his horses.
Any way you look at it, bad
roads are nuisance and an ex-
pense.
For this reason every farmer in
this community should be solidly
and insistently behind the good
roads movement.
What If it does cost him a few
cents? 1t will be worth a dollar
for every penny it costs.-Gonvick
Banner.
A bulletin received in this office
from the state highway commission
shows that close to two million dol
lars is to be spent in improving
roads. 1t shows that not a bit of
this money will be used for paving
The heavily travelled roads that
must bear a good share of the
traffic of the state will have to get
along somehow until something is
done to furnish money. In the
meantime the gravel will 90 to

will be high. Perhaps by the time

1t is evident that highway con-

Good roads in the making, give en-

profane language that he alleged
was used on the school ground.
But, was the school, as such, to
blame?
The school, as far as its physical
status is concerned, consists of just
two elements-teachers and pupils.
If the school is a poor school,
there are just two reasons back of
that Observation-Disclosures n d
pupils. But there is no such ques-
ton in this case-admittedly the
school ranks high in scholarship and
intellectual efficiency, both as to
teachers and pupils.
But 'bad language" has been
used on the school grounds; that
probably cannot be successfully de-
MED.
Profanity among the young is
quite general.
Who is to blame?
Surely not the teachers.
Pupils do not learn profanity
from the public school teacher.
They do not learn bad manners
from them, either.
AS a rule, these children do not
learn profanity at home.
Certainly they do not learn it in
church.
Where, then, do they learn it.
They learn it on the street, in
the stores, in the shops, in the
business places-wherever they come
in contact with men.
Do you know that the community
is reeking with profanity.
If the children use profanity they
have come by it honestly-they have
received it from their elders.
When the children go out into the
highways and the byways of the
village, or the community, they hear
cursing and swearing at every cor
ner. They pick up this manner of
talking and when they congregate
among themselves they use just the
kind of language their elders use.
Is it any wonder that after a
boy has been through the mud
battles of profanity that infest the
streets that he may drop some of
the filth that clings to him when
he comes on the school ground?
Is the school to blame?
Can you expect the teachers to
cope with this cursing habit, when
the whole influence of the example
of the community is against them?
What do you think a teacher is?
Almighty?
Every school is a reflection of the
community it is in.
You will not have any better
children in your public schools than
you have grown-up people in your
community.
Water does not rise above its
SQUIRE e-the institutions of the
people are not any better than the
people themselves.
If you want to make the morals
of your school children better, start
on the community.
The children of a community do
not evinoe higher moral standard
than the community itself.
1t is not the school, the children,
or the teachers who are to blame
because there is filthy language on
the school grounds-we, the people
of the community, are to blame.
