Party and Corruption

All the Washington correspon-
dents remarked on the extra
ordinary air of depression
which peryaded both the Senate
and House during the session on
Friday. Partisan taunts ceased.
Recriminations between Demo-
Gratis and Republicans died out,
as the statements Of Mr.. Doheny
before the Senate investigating
committee showed how wide
spread had been the suspicious
use of his money, and how the
ramitications Of the oil scandal
had penetrated both parties.
Nor, it may be hoped, was the
feeling Of Congress simply that
partisan accusations wera no
longer in place; deeper and more
disquieting must have been the
sense of public calamity and
national disgrace. In the pres
ence of such a shame, silence
and averted faces we'll became
Congress-.
1t was inevitable that there
should have been attempts to
make party capital out of the
shocking revelations. To do that
is the first impulse of politicians.
They give it up only when they
find out that it is impossible to
strike balance between parties.
But what they ought to perceive
is that they have to do with men
who have not only struck
reckless and terrible blows at
popular confidence in the integ-
rity of public officials, but |

what they can to break down the
faith of the people in the
honesty of Government officials
They create and foster suspicion.
and give fresh currency to the
cynical saying that every man
has his price. Moreover. in their
Blindness they do injury to the
very property interests with
which they are identified. Their
corporate enterprises, even
when perfectly legitimate, have
been placed by their course un-
der a severe handicap. 1t will be
difficult for them hereafter to
get fair play, even when they de-
serve it. Everybody working for
them as executives or lawyers
will fell that he has something
TO live down. Other corporations

AUTO AMERICA

My auto, it's Of thee, short road
to poverty - of thee | chant.
| blew a pile of dough on you
three years ago; now you re-
fuse to go or won't or can't.
Through town and countryside
you were my joy and pride,
a happy day.
I loved thy gaudy hue, thy nice
white tires new; but you're
down and out for true, in every
way.
To thee old rattle box, come
many bumps and knocks; for
thee | grieve.
Badly thy top is torn; frayed
are thy seats and worn; the
whooping cough affects thy
horn | do believe.
Thy perfume swells the breeze
while good folks choke and
wheeze, as we pass by.
| paid for thee a price, 'twould
buy a mansion twice; now
everybody's yelling ICE" l
wonder why.
Thy motor has the grip, thy
spark plug has the pip, and
woe is mine.
I, too, have suffered chills,
fatigue and kindred ills, en-
deavoring to pay my bills
since thou vert mine.
Gone is my bankroll now, 'twould
no more choke a COW, as once
before.
Yet, if I had the mon, so help
me John-amen,, I'd buy a
car again and speed some
more.

FARM NOTES FOR
HALIFAX COUNTY

Wei on, N. c

When planning your fertili-
ger needs for 1924 remember to
consider the fertilizer needs of
your cotton under boil weevil con
ditions. Select your fertilizer so
as to get quick start with
rapid growth, a medium size
stalk. and early maturity. To
produce these things we must
have a quickly available source
of nitrogen such as nitrate of
soda to promote rapid growth
and use only enough to give the
medium size stalk with no lat
growth. General recommends
tions would be 8 to 5 per cent
nitrogen depending upon the
natural fertility of the soil. The
largest percent Of nitrogen
should come from nitrate of
soda. Apply all nitrate either at
planting time or just after chop
ping. Late applications of soda
only produce boil weevil feed
late in the season sending large
numbers into Information in
good condition. 1t also delays
maturity. On clay soils use 10 to
II percent phosphate and on
sandy soils use 8 to 10 percent.
Liberal use of phosphates hast
ems maturity which is an i'm
portant factor in weevil control
Recommendations for potash
would be 3 to 4 percent on both
SANDY and clay soils, although
sandy soils are usually more de-
ficient on potash. Potash pro-
duces hardness in the plants
and also controls rust.

Fertilizers are bought by the
number of pounds of actual
plant food in the ton of material
and for this reason it is always
cheaper to buy high grade fer
tilizer in order to save freight,
hauling and distributing the
filler used in the low grade fer
tilizer thoroughly with the soil
before planting so as to prevent
damage to the seed by coming
in contact with the raw fertilizer.
