WORTH ERAGG1NG About

M. E. Hennessey, columnist, says
If there is one newspaper in Scotland
that the Scot is proud of, it is The
Scotsman, ably edited and containing
as much news of the British Empire
as any Of the big London dailies
There is an absence in it's columns
of that dourness which so often
characterizes the Scot. A story is
told Of one of it's outstanding editors
'who directed it in the days when
King Edward VII was the Prince
of Wales. An old friend of the editor
rushed into the office one day con-
siderably excited
'I've just had great compliment
paid to me- said he. "I was walking
down the street and a man rushed
up tc me mistaking me for the Prince
Of Wales"
That's nothing" replied the editor,
calmly knocking the ashes from his
pipe: II was on the way home yes

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
REST

Amid the roar and riot
OF crowded city streets
1 yearn for peace and quiet
And dream of calm retreats
Where gentle winds are straying,
And brooklets sing their song
And leafy trees are swanig
The afternoon along.
1 leave the fierce commotion
OF noisy, blatant town,
And by the placid ocean
Serenely settle down.
Employing dunes for pillows,
1 take luxurious ease
And watch the combing pillows
Roll in against the breeze.
Or loll in fragrant bowers
Beside some ripping stream,
Where hosts of lovely flowers
Upon the hillside CLEAN;
Where kindly cows are feeding
AS they roam to and fro,
Contented and unheeding
The world and all it's woe.
And after half an hour
BY hillside or by shore,
These places have no power
To please me any more.
I dream about the busy
And roaring haunts of men
Crank up the old tin Lizzie
And hike 20 town again.

Stewards Washington Letter
ny CHARLES p. STEWART
NEA Service Writer
x7AsHINGTON, Oct. 21.-P-Dr Ha

WASHINGTON, Oct 21.-P)-Dr. Har-
w yey. W. Wiley, the veteran pure
food man, is not going to have the
public's edibles adulterated if he can
help it.
He did help it once, away back in
the early SOs when, as chief chemist
for the department of agriculture, he
raised such a commotion over food
adulterants that the country was al
most afraid to eat anything, and the
present pure food laws were passed in
hot haste to prevent wholesale starVa-
ton.
He kept up the good work for 20
years, still as chief chemist for the de-
partment of agriculture, enforcing
those laws.
Now as a private citizen he is trying
to keep his beloved laws from being
modified.
THE trouble with the public, as DR..
Wiley sees it, is that it's had pure
foregone conclusion, never realizing
that it takes laws to keep it pure.
And the doctor foresees an attempt
at the next session of congress to slip
through legislation which will weaken
his laws. The public, he says, isn't
awake to the danger.
Director Walter G. Campbell of the
agriculture departments pure food ad-
ministration agrees with DR.. Wiley.
"The great danger" said Director
Campbell, "is that public apathy and q
faa1;po of assurance in the continuine
wholesomeness of our foodstuffs may
permit interested manufacturers and
packers to render the whole structure
of pure food enforcement weak and in
effective

would Reduce COTTON Acreage

If every farmer in Randolph county
would reduce his cotton acreage 80 per
cent we would realize more at the end
Of the harvest But will they do it?
That is the question.
In the southern states the acreage
ought to be cut 80 per cent. ! notice
that some few farmers plant half feed
and half cotton and they always make
cotton and they always have feed. As
a rule, the farmer who has plenty of
feed also has hogs, cows and chickens.
They cut the grocery bill and every
dollar saved is a dollar made.
Some tenants are required to plant
40 much cotton but l don't think its
right. What will make the tenant
money will make the landlord money.
The farmers, or at least 80 per cent
of them, have gone "hog wild" on cot
ton. They will plant 80 per cent of
their acreage in cotton and the next
year they will spend it for feed with
which to make the next crop. If we
will plant more corn, potatoes aud
cane, make our own syrup, raise our
feed with which to make our next
crop, | think we will come out better.
Then we can move our smoke house
out of our country stores and our corn
cribs out of the northern states ana
quit living out of paper sacks.
If we can raise good gardens, can
more fruit and have more to "eat at
home and board at the same place,
l think we will do better. We must
quit trying to raise this cotton to buy
everything we eat and feed, or we will
land with our hands tied.
The banker will have to turn us
down If we can't pay him what. we
owe him.
Now boys, let's turn new leaf It's
all right to plant reasonable amount
of cotton to pay taxes with, for it is a
ready cash crop-at some price.
| want to hear from someone else
on this subject as we farmers need
some advice. Would be glad to hear
from every township in the county, ms
it soon will be time for us to begin
planting for our next crop.
Yours for better living at home and
staying out of debt. w. NJ. Hawk,
Warm Springs, Ark.
