Russia S Fettered Trade

Tu yHATEVER the considerations that
M moved France to recognition of So
Wet Russia, 1t is unlikely that hopes
Of large trade gains were amongst them.
That Paris would. warmly welcome develop
ments in that direction goes without say
ing; for only thus, 1t would seem, will even
fraction Of the vast French claims against
Russia ever be liquidated. But there is no
promise in present circumstances that the
foreign commerce Of the Bolsheyist-ruled
nation will be more considerable than dur
ing these recent Leap years.
An able American observer writes in the
New York Journal Of Commerce that British
recognition of the Moscow regime certainly
has brought flatter1ng prospect Of ex
banding trade opportunities. "The limited
concessions made by the Russians in the
matter of debt settlement, bought with the
promise of guaranteed loan, put into the
Conservative and Liberal hands excellent
weapons for attacking the Labor govern
ment. In consequence the trade possibili-
ties are being ignored, fact which is not
surprising, In view Of the latest statistics"
Those statistics show that imports into the
United Kingdom from the secession states
of Finland Esthonia, Latvia, etc., in 1928,
amounted to more than two and one-nalf
times the imports from Russia, while ex-
ports to those countries were about four
times as large as exports to Russia" 1t
appears further that while British purchases
from Russia amounted to some nine million.
two hundred thousand pounds last year and
to ten million, six hundred thousand pounds
for the first eight months Of 1924, British
sales to the Soviet aggregated only two and
half million pounds last year and only one
million, four hundred thousand for the first
eight months of 1924.
This Is no more characteristic of Britain's
than of the worlds general business rela-
tions with Soviet Russia. Nor is it in any
wise surprising that country whose pro-
ducing powers have been fettered and
starved by the tyrannous theory Of Boshev-
ism should have little with which TO enter
the markets of civilization or to sustain the
life of mutually profitable commerce.

The Second Mrs. Strong
BY HAZEL DEYD BACHELOR

BY HAZEL DEYD BACHELOR
What has gone before.-Matthew
Strong marries his stenographer, Julie
Benton, and when he brings her home
after the honeymoon his daughter,
Claudia does everything in her power
to make things unpleasant for her step
mother. It isn't long before Matthew be-
gins to feel that he has made a mistake,
and this feeling is heightened by the
knowledge that he might have married
Margaret Davenport, a woman in his
own class. Bradford Pierce, friend Of
Matthew's, is kind to Julie, and under
his influence she begins the business Of
making herself over. Claudia willfully
reads something else into the friendship
and Bradford, much to his amazement,
discovers that he is beginning to care
for Julie. In the meantime Claudia be-
comes interested in Harris Fiske, a man
about whom she knows very little. She
agrees to go alone to his apartment for
tea and while there he makes love to
her.-NOW go on with the story.

HE HAD TO CLIMB A TREE
BY John CARLYLE

II ATHER, at bedtime, is telling his lit
r. tie son about an alligator and q
~ turtle.
Just as the alligator is about to open It's
horrid jaws and swallow the turtle, the tur-
tie nimbly climbs tree.
But" says the child, "a turtle can't

| remember one summer night when
was seventeen. 1 was spending the eve
ming with a young lady. We sat on the
front porch of her fathers house on a quiet
street in our village. In those days, young
sters came early and spent the evening in
the family parlor or on the vine-covered
porch Youngsters today don't spend the
evening in any one place But that's an
other story.
This night I stayed much too long.
Fathers voice came out Of the front door
like a bomb.
After I was well down the street realized
that l had not opened the gate in the high
picket fence. / had gone over the top Of
the gate. I had never done that before. /
couldn't do it.
This time I HAD TO. That made all the
difference.
The best teacher I ever knew was the
principal Of a preparatory school at Oberlin
college.
Technically I do not know how good a
teacher he was. He taught few classes But
he was the best teacher because he made
boys into something they were not before
and it was something better.
One thing he' used to say over and over.
"Boys," he said, you will neYeri be on
the way Of making good until you get over
doing the things you WANT to do and be-
gin doing the things you OUGHT to do"
a creeping alligator in the background
would be great thing for most Of US There
are so many things we could do il we HAD
TO.
Having to do things makes character.

ket went back around $50 instead of going
down to $50. The trouble was that the
farmers were selling and anxious to set the
peanuts off their hands. The mills were be-
ing loaded, getting too much money tied up
in peanuts and probably could not handle
any more at the time, and drop in the
market was the only natural result, until
the association began taking up the surplus
and put the market back on it's feet The
mills are not to be blamed-they are going
to buy the peanuts just as cheaply as they
can Of cOurse-just as you Will buy what
you buy just as cheaply as you can set it
The trouble was that the peanuts were COM
ing in too fast and the market was being
over-run. The growers are due thanks to
the association for it's stabiIizing effect on
the market.
County Agent Chandler has done some
fine work for the farmers in Tiff county in
this crisis, He secured a good connection
and disposed Of about 100000 pounds Of
peanuts for Tiff county growers at from $85
to $93 per ton, or an average of right close
to $50 a ton, at a time when the market
was low. He urges slow and orderly mar
keting.
Mr. Chandler also secured a market for
three carloads of sweet potatoes at 81 per
hundred pounds net for one car and $1.67 Il
per hundred net for the other two cars, and
Monday morning had another carload on
hand to be marketed. The demand for
sweet potatoes is comparatively small and
the markets appear to have been supplied
therefore the price is down.
Mr.. Chandler urges that the farmers bank
potatoes and place them on the market in
an orderly manner, and not try to sell them
all as rapidly as they are dug. He says
about one carload week is all that can be
satisfactorily handled from Triton, and he
urges that the potatoes be held off the mar
llet until the surplus is consumed and the
demand increases.
Of course, when fellow has to sell and
does not want to hold, he must take the best
he can get on a glutted market, but the
farmer who can hold on to what he has
should get a better price after the surplus
has been taken up and the market has as
sumed more orderly condtion.-Tifton Ga,

DHE profit to the farmer in orderly mar

When the farmer rushes his product on

he holds and sells slowly and orderly, the
market stays around the point where 1t

the farmer raises, no matter what it IS. A

orderly manner tends to keep the market at
an equitable standard.
