FIRST POTATO SALE
IN TERRELL FRIDAY
HOPE TO LOAD CAR OF PORTO
RICO VARIETY AT $2.65 PER
HUNDRED BULK.

Friday, April 3rd. will probably find
a large number of potato growers in
the city with their products, the oc-
casion being cooperative sale at the
Central of Georgia depot conducted
by County Agent A. E Gibson
This is the first sale of its kind ever
held in this county, and it is the in
tention of Mr.. Gibson to make it a
great success. The Porto Rico pota-
toes will be the kind bought and the
price paid will depend upon the guam
tity shipped Provided a carload 500
bushels, are brought in the price paid
will be SOS per hundred bulk The
price will go as low as $40 on a
minimum Of 800 bushel car, it is stat
ed.
The potatoes must not measure less
than ~ inches in diameter and not
more than 4 inches, and must be free
from cracks, scars and bruises,
1t is believed that should the sale
be successful and full car shipped,
thereby bringing greater individual re-
turns, that it will be stimulus Tor
further sales in the future.
Those having the yellow variety OF
potatoes to sell should get in touch
with Mr.. Gibson or some member OF
the County Agricultural Board and
find the best method of disposal for
highest gains.

TRAFFIC TALKS !

Children will ignore regularly
equipped municipal and school
Fairgrounds in order to play in
the streets. Their reason for
wanting to play about rapidly
moving motor vehicles is prob
lem for psychologist. not for
me.
The careful motorist knows
that a child at play in the street
may do anything. In approach
ing a child, whether it is On the
curb or in the street, it IS i'm
perative to have your car under
absolute control.
As an example: The child may
be playing ball. He misses the
ball, which rolls into the street.
The child has but one thought: !:
to rescue that ball. He will risk
his own life to get his ball back.
The motorist must remember
that children react as children,
and that he must protect them to
his fullest.
Riding bicycles in the streets
where motor cars and trucks are
numerous is dangerous and
should be discouraged. Coasting

In a letter to the Cooperative
league of this city, the secretary of
the powerful Berlin cooperative So
ciety says:

German press that both companies
are enemies of the young American
cooperative movement and avail
themselves of every opportunity to
harm this movement"
"The big packers of the United
States own 81 per cent of the large
stockyards and 90 per cent of the re-
frigerator cars. They are most stra-
tegically located to smash every

citation, if they dare" officials of the
Cooperative league say.
"Since the packers are now trying
to set aside the packers consent de-
cree, forbidding them to go into un-
related business, we may yet find
these big interests controlling the
life of agricultural America"
The decree was accepted by the
packers and Attorney General Daugh-
erty. At that time the latter declar-
ed living costs would be reduced.
Since then the packers have repudiat-
ed the agreement.

Will Attack the
Textile Barons
Throuh the Tariff
Green Declares They Should Be
Denied of Special Privileges
Received Thru the Tariff

Textile manufacturers who have
launched a wage-cutting campaign
will be attacked through their most
treasured privilege next congress
the tariff.
William Green, President of the
American Federation Of Labor, in a
second letter to M. G. Pierce, Presi-
dent of the American Woolen Com
pany, declares that the textile manu-
facturers should be "deprived of spe-
cial privileges and special benefits
which they have enjoyed from high
tariff protection"
The letter is dated August Is and
atates that if the tariff wall is built
to protect special industries from
competition by foreign manufacture
ers and then they reduce wages, "the
government in all fairness should re-
duce the tar1l schedules and tear
down the tariff wall which has been
so skillfully built"
"The textile manufacturers of New
England" he said, "rely solely upon
the power of wealth which they rep
resent and the brute force which they
may employ in compelling their work.
ers to submit to their dictates and ac-
cept reductions in wages" He points
cut the small labor costs in textile
manufacturing as compared with the
practically prohibtive tariff.
"Corporations, he said, (which en-
joy the protection of the law and the
government and especially those that
are the beneficiarcies of the high
protective tariff, must remember that
they owe something to the govern
ment and the people who make up
the government. Certainly congress
cannot close its eyes to the facts
which have developed in the textile
manufacturing industry"
In conclusion President Green III
the name of the American Federation
of Labor and IFS millions of members
entered another vigorous protest
against the reduction and demanded
that wages be restored. If this is
not done he will bring the matter to
the attention of congress.

SOME INFORMATION ON WHAT
HAS HAPPENED OVER IN CHINA

There are many in the labor move
ment who do not understand just
what has been happening in China
and are wondering what it is all
about, so that little light on the
subject may serve good purpose. .
Suppose that during a period OF
American weakness japanese, Chin
ese, British and other foreigners
forced upon this country treaties un~
der which the port of San ranclsco
was turned over to them to govern
Suppose these various natlonallties
ran the city like a stock company,
with all Americans excluded from the
franchise and the foreigners them
selves voting according to the amount
Of money they had invested. Sup
pose they then posted in the public
parks signs reading mo dogs or
Americans allowed" Suppose they
started mills and factories where the
worst sort of hours and wages pre-
vailed.
Suppose that the long suffering
Americans employed in the japanese
mills finally struck and their officers
were railroaded by the alien govern
ment to Jail. Suppose then that
Americans, led by students, conducted
great mass demonstration against
the japanese mill, but without firing
shot. Suppose that Indian troops
in the employ of the British fired up
on the crowd killing several of the
student leaders-would you expect
Americans generally to side with the
| foreigners or their own cOuntryment
Now the thing we have asked you
to imagine in the case of America has
actually happened in China. Shang-
hal, Chinese city, is divided into a
number of foreign settlements which
are run like stock companies Signs
have been posted excluding dogs and
Chinese from the public parks. We
do not know precisely the conditions
in the japanese mills where the strike
occurred, but we know in general that
industrial conditions in China are hor-
lible.
Under these circumstances it is
folly to suppose that Chinese bitter
ness and Chinese riots are due sim
ply to Russian red propaganda, as
news stories from Shanghai contlnu-
ally allege. The Russians have been
mingling with the Chinese, and W.,
have no doubt that there has been
red propaganda, but without the
tyranny of the Shanghai mill owners
it could not have brought about the
results we have been reading about
during the past week or more, if the
stories are true, and we are not so
sure Of their accuracy.
For the present things seem to be
settling down somewhat in Shanghai,
but anti-foreign riots are reported
elsewhere in China The Chinese gov
ernment has started the Chinese case
vigorously in its note to the powers.
The Chinese students are organizing
a boycott of British and japanese
mills. We wish them success. We
would also wish them success under
similar circumstances if the mills
were American, and we believe that
every American worker realizes that
in the long run his own well-being is
bound up with the success of his fel-
low-workers everywhere in winning a
recent standard of living, and every
American citizen who believes in
peace and justice should insist that

How Long Will the
Florida Boom" Last?

G. l.. Miller, president G. L. Miller
& Co., was on the ground in Miami
before and during its first rise to
fame. He still has large interests in
Florida and his name is by-word in
real estate circles there. With first
hand knowledge and the proper per-
spective, he speaks with authority in
an article in Forbes Magazine.
"The territory of Florida was dis
covered some four hundred years
sources Of Florida only began to be
discovered about twenty or thirty
years ago. 1t is the latter discovery
that is interesting to US in Amer
ica today.
"For many years Florida's growth
was slow. Then came its real discov-
cry by few pioneers-the discovery
of its potentialities. After any such
discovery, the next and logical step is
the opening up Of the country for
habitation, the building of towns and
cities.
"This is pioneer work. Not as it
was done in the days of covered wag-
ons, though, but pioneering Twen-
tieth Century style, with automobiles
and Pullman cars. What was slow
process in the days of Forty Miners
has been accomplished in Florida in
the course of very few years. And
the very rapidity of this growth and
development is what has focused so
much attention on the land transac-
tions. that have followed Florida's re-
discovery.
"How long can things go on as they
are going in Florida? ?"
"To answer that question definite
ly, you would have to be able to
plumb the depths of the American
capacity for ingenuity, aggressive
ness, growth, development"

Injunction Judge
Would Cover World

Columbus, ON appealing to the

issued by Judge Roettinger of the
Hamilton county common pleas court,
Cincinnati, organized butcher work
men declared that this injunction
Judge "would cover the world"
Roettinger perpetually enjoined the
unionists from picketing a struck
plant. He fined the president of one
of the unions 500, and assessed the
union a like amount.
Commenting on Roettinger's action,
the unionists, in their petition, say
that the court apparently believed
that his injunction "was so far-reach-
ing as to embrace the whole world,
or at least any inhabitant of the
world who might be forced to admit
that he had done the forbidden things,
regardless of his lack of knowledge of
the issuance of the order"
