81 years old champion of rum and to-
bacco, has spoken his mind about
what this world is coming to.
Celebrating his birthday few days
ago at Darien, Conn, he attributed
his age to whiskey and smoking.
Mrs. Aida J. Cumming, leader OF
the Stamford Women's Christian Tenn

appoint a committee to investigate
why he really had lived so long. She
was certain it was not whiskey. Yes

POPULATION GROWTH
FORCES PRICES UP
ELIMINATES FEEDING RANGE
AND REDUCES SHEEP AND
CATTLE HERDS.

NEW YORK, N. although the
raising OF sheep has been an establish
ed activity in nearly every part of the
globe since history began, it appar-
emily is falling behind the other in
dustrial lines. This fact undoubtedly
has had a decided effect on the wool
markets in America, England, Argen-
tina, Uruguay and Australia, and is
bearing upon the cost of clothing for
nearly all living people.
In the last fifteen years, according
to Lieut-Col. E. n Wentworth, Of
the Armour Live Stock bureau, sheep
production has decreased $4,000 00C
head. He attributes this ito the fact
that the open ranges of all nations are
being utilized for other purposes and
absorbed through increases in popula-
ton. The average farmer now has diff
fculty in meeting the costs of produc-
ton of sheep and wool which former
" were obviated by the use of the
open range.
Should Be on Small Farms.
The future of this great industry
according to many experts, depends
on the incorporation of certain num-
Der of sheep in the live stock popula-
ton of the majority of the smaller
farms. Farmers already are accustom-
ed to raise and feed certain definite
number of hogs in proportion to cat
tie and it is hoped this ration will be
extended to sheep.
This nation uses annually far more
wool than is grown here. Much of the
added requirements must be brought
from New Zealand, Australia and Uru-
quay Wool production now is running
around two and half billion pounds
annually for the entire world OF this
amount the United States is expected
this year to turn out something like
265 million pounds. Last year the
United Kingdom alone imported Oh
million pounds, of which 368 million
were reshipped to other countries. The
United States brought in 81 million
pounds, and Germany this year viii
import far more than the entire pro
duction of this country.
Sale of Meat Profitable.
Sale Of mutton has yielded excellent
profits in the last year to domestic
flock masters. The United States solo
to other countries last year approx
nlate1y 100000 pounds of sheep fest
besides what was consumed on Amer
lean tables.

CAPITOL is TOWN
OF BLUE LAWS NOW
WASHINGTON OBSERVES BIG
LIST OF REFORMER'S TABOOS.
BAN ON INDECENT MUSIC.

Washington rapidly is becoming a
blue law town. The long list of ''ver-
botens," set up by reformers, would
excite the envy OF the Puritan fathers.
Indecent music" "disrespect fsthe
Bible" impure magazines" boxing
bouts" Sunday air circuses," and
naughty burlesques,' these are few
of the vices now vigorously tabooed
owing TO the zeal of reformers.
Protect The Sabbath.
Following disclosure of the ban on
"indecent music" whatever that may
mean. it became necessary for the War
Department TO change the date OF a

FIFTY THOUSAND ARE
VICTIMS OF A SPITE
POLAND IS CHASING $4,000 GER
MANS OUT OF SILESIA, so
GERMANY RETALIATES.

Fifty thousand men, women and
children-homeless, penniless, and suf-
fering-are the innocent victims of a
gigantic piece of spite work between
Germany and Poland. These thouS-
ands of sufferers are being torn from
their homes and forced to migrate to
strange lands-all because OF an act
which European diplomats are pleased
to call craftsmanship.
Nations Strike One Another.
The whole trouble began when a
popular vote was taken to determine
whether Poland or Germany should re-
tain control of Upper Silesia. The
vote was in favor of Polish authority.
So Poland, to make itself safe, ordered
the shipment of about $4,000 German
men, women and children out of the
country to Germany. Germany, in re-
taliation, exiled about $4,000 Polish
persons living in the Ruhr.
In both cases the victims of the
trick were torn from their homes and
work without days warning. They
were huddled into filthy railroad cars
and shipped like cattle. Many of them
were without food, and many of them
were ILL.,
Face Awful Future.
Now these thousands face an un-
certain future. The Poles, exiled from
Germany, where they have been pros
porous in the mines and mills, will find
unemployment increasing by leaps and
bounds in Poland.
The Germans chased out of Polish
territory will have to begin life anew
amid strange surroundings and in an
uncertain agricultural country. Most
OF these Germans are farmers.

GIBSON BRINGS BACK

IF SUFFICIENT ACREAGE is

Disease Is Moving Tobacco Belt From
Carolinas to South Georgia. Land
Here Much Better Adapted, and
Grows Superior Quality.

Dawson may have real tobacco
market next year, according to state
ment given out by the county agent,
A. E Gibson, on his return to Daw-
son Tuesday from the Carolinas.
While he was touring the states of
North and South Carolina on his va
cation he conferred with interested
warehousemen and tobacco buyers
and outlined the possibilities in and
around Terrell county as a tobacco
marketing center, and a firm who
operates chain OF warehouses in the
Carolinas agreed to establish ware
house and guarantee a good tobacco
market provided as much as 1000
acres would be planted in tobacco in
and around Terrell county.
Terrell Tobacco Superior.
From careful study of tobacco
culture in the Carolinas it was found
that practically every leaf of tobacco
examined showed more or less dis
ease, and the fiber and quality OF the
tobacco raised there was nothing to
compare with that of the Georgia
grown tobacco. A sample of Terrell
county grown tobacco by an inexperi-
enced Terrell county tobacco farmer
was exhibited before numbers of ware
housemen and buyers, and all OF them
agreed that it was far superior to that
grown in the old tobacco belt. Num-
bers of tobacco fields in and around
Durham county, North Carolina, are
practically a total loss, caused by wilt
and other diseases, and that the to-
bacco belt is fast moving to Georgia
is no longer a debatable question" &C
cording to Mr.. Gibson. In talking
with old tobacco farmers it became
very evident that they, too, realize
that the best tobacco lands are in
Georgia, and the indications are that
the best quality of tobacco will in the
, future be grown in this state.
Overproduction Not Probable.
In discussing the problem of over
production with old tobacco men they
declared that overproduction of tobac-
co was very ulllIhClyj anu odiSiy SOON
quality tobacco would anyways find a
ready buyer at very profitable price.
Establishing tobacco market in
Dawson will be no little task, accord
ing to Mr.. Gibson, but the effort will
be crowned with success. for some
nearby town is going to fight hard for
marekt next year, and it is just a
question of how serious Terrell coun-
tians go at the undertaking. We can
not afford to sit idly by and allow
some other nearby town to grab this
opportunity from as progressive peo-
pie as are found in this community
1t is understood that Calhoun and
other surrounding counties are plan
ming a considerable acreage OF tobac-
co, and if everybody gets behind this
movement there is no reason why
Terrell county cannot have 1000 acres
instead OF 1000.

The south has taken the lead from

During the present year the activity
of southern mills has pushed this sec
ton ahead of New England for the
first time in history. 1t is the climax
for supremacy that has been going
on since the civil war, when practically
all OF the cotton raised in the south

More than 100000 spindles were
busy on August LIST in the 10 southern
cotton states. There were less than
100000 going in the New England
states.
In 1860 there were only 6,789 looms
lin the south, compared with 1889
in the northern states. There are

100000 Bales to Be Used.
Over 100000 bales of cotton will
be consumed in manufacture of cloth
this year, it is estimated. OF this total
more than 100000 went to southern

JOHNSON STILL IS
 RATED AS AN ACE
IA Years on Diamond Has Not
 Slowed Him Up

New York, Mar. Q. Tho wear and tear of IA years, of major league baseball has left its mark upon the battle-scarred frame of Jimmy Johnston, Brooklyn inheld- CT, but he is still youngster in playing ability.
 Johnston, one of the most versa tile performers in Uncle Hobbies roster of pastimers. Is now condi- tioning himself for another big league campaign at the Dodgers camp in Clearwater, Fla. He was crippled most of last season and his absence was costly 10 the team, but now he is rounding into shape again. .,..
 Johnston started his baseball career as an outfielder, but back in 1919 he came fin to play first base. Later the Robins needed a key stone guardian and Johnston &C., cepted the nomination. From here he was shifted to, shortstop and third base. all of which he played with equal ability, while hitting above a 300 level.
 Seventeen seasons ago, Johnston opened his baseball career at Ke- vance in the old "Three-Eye" league. And a peculiar fact about his beginning was that the Kewanee manager, after two years tria~ told Johnson he was not fast enough for that company. ... :,
 It is doubtful if any man in the maj jor leagues has had more varied career than Johnston. He went to Portland of the Pacific Coast league after his "Three-Eye' training. Then he went to Seattle at that time in the Northwestern league. He hit only .195 for Seattle Back again he was sent to the Three Eye league. this time to Ot- tumwa. The Chicago Americans drafted him in 1911 but farmed him out immediately to Birming- ham of the Southern league. After two years he drew hlS release aTu drifted back to the Coast League with San Francisco. Then the Chi cago Nationals bought him for reported sum of s3,2o0 and after a short trial sent him 10 Oakland. Brooklyn bought him in 1916, but shortly after he jumped to Newark of the Federal league. When the Federal league blew up, Johnston went back to Brooklyn and he has been with the Flatbush' tribe ever since.
 Johnston was born in Cleveland. Tennessee, 35 years ago. His legs show the strain of the strenuous campaigns through which he has passed in many ball parks from the Hudson to the Golden Gate, but a heart he is still a rookie with al the ambition of youngster just breaking in.
