No matter how wise YOU are, every.

Combined Effort.
The great artist who paints picture

world does not do SO with one sweep
Of the brush In one moment Of inspira'

product Of thousands of strokes of the
brush, of infinitesimal bits Of pigment
put on the canvas layer after layer,
each done with consummate art. Every
tiny bit of paint, every swift stroke
does Its tiny part toward what becomes
at last a marvel of ages. So must we
work, stroke by stroke, bit here and
a bit there, until our masterpiece has
been compleIea.

THE WAY is OPEN!

This is the time of year when
those of us who haven't had the
opportunity to disport ourselves on
the "Sun-Kissed Sands of Florida"
as the hotel advertisements put it,
are yearning for the feel of the
earth under foot, for a glimpse OF
the open fields and woodlands, for
the soft air of the country. 81
In other words, Spring is here's
And there is no reason why,
whether or not we own automobiles,
we shouldn't have what we want.
Take a map of that part of New
Jersey stretching from New York
to Philadelphia. Note the street
railway lines marked on it. They
radiate from every city; they stretch
across the open spaces; they follow
the winding. of many of our justly
celebrated views; they connect the
big centres Of population with the
suburbs and the outlying commu-
mites; they afford a pathway to the
country.
There is no better way TO see the
attractions of suburban and rural
New Jersey, through a great part
of its territory, than by trips on
Public Service cars.

BUREAU EXPLAINS. COTTON ESTIMATE
Tentative Estimate Of Acre. age Abandoned Need
 In Forecast

WASHINGTON. Nov. 3.-In fore casting a cotton production of 1o.- 24S,0o0 bales for this year on the condition of the crop as of October 25, the department of agriculture, 1t was announced today used a tenta- tive estimate of the acreage aban- donend, which was placed at 6.1 per cent of the acreage in cultivation June 25.
 A statement supplementary to the cotton report, issued today at the de- partment of agriculture said:
 The average yield of 12S,1 pounds of lint cotton per acre is a computed figure, derived by dividing the total forecast production by the June I5 estimate of preliminary acreage in cultivation on that date, Since the acreage abandonment figures are tentative and subject to reYi sion on December 12 when the estimate of the per centage of acreage abandoned has already been announced the de- partment has not published an es- innate of the net harvested acreage for the 1923 crop. The department therefore has not published a yield per acre figure applicable to the acreage in cultivation as of June 25. The estimated yield per acre of 12S.1 pounds, therefore is lower than a yield applicable to the harvested acre age, and Is not strictly comparable to the final estimate of 141.3 pounds for the crop of 1922 and a ten-year acreage yield of 164.3 pounds per acre. An estimate of the yield per acre applicable to the harvested acre. age will not be made until the reg ular date, December 12."
 The tentative estimate of the acre. age abandoned by states is given as follows with the ten years G91322) acreage abandonment:
 Texas, 2.9 per cent, compared with S.1 per cent, the ten-year average; {; Georgia, 11.6 and 25; North Carolina, 0.5 and 16; South Carolina 1.5 and 1.9; Alabama, 40 and 23; Mississippi, so and 2.5; Louisiana 5.7 and 30; Arkansas, TO and 2.3; Tennessee, 50 and IS; Missouri so and 3.6; Okla homa, so and 5.2.

 Biningsley did not vouchsafe any general information regarding his wanderlngs while he was in Mont gomery.

 Doubt was expressed at the court house during the afternoon that wit nesses against Billingsley could be brought into court for the trial.
 The only witness whose name was given on the indictment was Examin- CT Craig. He left the state capital several years ago and last informa- tion was that he was residing In Bir- mingham. It also will be hard to get testimony for the defense. Two of the chief witnesses were Capt. Reuben Kolb commissioner of agriculture from 1911 to 1915, and John c. Cheney, chief clerk of the depart ment during the same time. Both have died since they retired from of flee. MT. Cheney was indicted as result of the investigation of the de- partment, but was acquitted at trial in circuit court.
 Great interest has been manifested in the reappearance of Billingsley be- cause of the close parallel with that of Theo Lacy. Lacy disappeared in 1913 after more than St00,000 had been packed in a pine box and carted | away. Many months later he reap l peared with a bond in his pocket and presented it at the county jail. He was tried in two cases and given 10 years in one and six in the other. He has completed the 10-year sentence after allowance for good behavior and has started on the six-year sentence.

HIRAM JOHNSON IS. IN MOOD TO FIGHT
Latest Gesture Keeps Alive Issues Of InternationaIiSm.
 Abandon Court Proposal
WASHINGTON BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD

By agreeing to investigate for the purpose of ascertaining how much in way of reparations Germany can pay, President Coolidge and Secre- tary of State Hughes have aroused the "irreconcilables," and to that ex- tent, at least, have split the repub- lican party.
 Senator Hiram Johnson of Cali Senator Kellogg to the Court of St. is an internationalist, just s "radt- cal" senators of other western states, through the appointment of former Senator kellog to the Court of St. James, has ascertained that he is a 'reactionary." Johnson, at last has an issue, and will soon declare him self a candidate, it is learned from authoritative sources here. Furthermore the Senate will ex- press its view as soon as 1t con- yenes. The discussion will keep alive the issue of internationalism,' and 1t will in all probability, figure in the presidential campaign. Thus the League of Nations and the demo cratic party, it Is pointed out, will become involved,
 Politicians Distressed.
 It is the view of democrats in Con gress that since the republicans de- feated the League of Nations pro- posal, their politicians have been dis tressed through fear of the inter national bogy, on the one hand, and edge of what will happen commer- eially, if they permit Europe, un- assisted, to go to pot.
 It is the view of democrats in Con gress that the proposal of President Harding respecting American partcl- ration in the election of judges of an international court, and the present
  gestures which, if consummated, would have no material effect on world affairs. Because of the al legged incon sequentiality of such pro posals, because they marked grad ual surrender of republicans to the idea of giving help to Europe, and because they sharply divided the politicians of the republican fold democrats prepared to support the Harding suggestion, and will support 1t is probable, the Coolidge sugses- tionA
 The court proposal has been aban- doned Coolidge will not touch 1t, 1t is indicated It is the prediction that if Americans aid in Investigating the ability of Germany to pay, they Will be so restricted that their work will serve no tangible purpose.
 o o o
 France Accepts.
 It IS pointed out lnaI rIdhC9 tioa already declared its agreement that the nations investigate Germany pro- vided the amount demanded of Ger many was not sealed down.
 The belief here is that if the yer dict repre- esents a material reduction France will disregard it; that France will accept the verdict If 1t sustalns cther. verdicts, that Germany. pro- vidsd it went to work, could pay for the damage it wrought in devastated sections.
 The 'irreconcilables" have still an- other grievance against Coolidge and Hughes. They charge that the repa- rations discussion was initiated dur ;ng the recess of Congress, and inti- mate that no one would have dared attempt such a course had the Sem ate been able to debate the matter.
