vertised in your newspaper today
and you will see that, although much
talk is banded back and forth con-
corning the increased cost OF living,
the fact is that the cost has gone
downward consistently since from
tier times.
One OF the reasons for high prices
then was undoubtedly the difficulty
with which the supply was obtained
the hazards and expense OF trans
porting goods.
But the chief reason was that the
cost Of these necessaries could not
be spread out over enough custom
ers to bring them at lower cost to
all. The merchant had to pay the
cost OF his business out Of sales to

OF course the Clark case was en-
Uttered by the personal rivalry Of
the two men. Champ Clark had been
candidate for the Democratic nom-
nation IN 1912 and, according to
majority rule, was in a way entitled
to 1T, for he won all the primaries
IN which he entered. including some
against Woodrow Wilson.
Senator Clark was his fathers
parliamentary clerk at the time,
and no son was ever more devoted
~ loyal and partisan.
LA TOILETTE ISOLATIONIST
Another son who is carrying on
the same fight his father made
against the White House on the $50
latlonist issue is Robert M. La Fol
lette. Perhaps no figure in our po-
lltlcal history was ever treated more
drastically than the elder La Fol
lette for what was regarded as his
unpatriotic course.
Charles A. Lindbergh, consciously
or not. is affected by the same sort
OF thing. His father. member Of
the house in those days, was an iso.
lationist, and voted against the dec
laration of war He was prosecuted
at time when the Atlantic f1ier was
at probably the most impressionable
age.
Sen. Burton K. Wheeler is another

He had plenty Of enemies, both in
Montana and Washington, who vir-
tually left nothing unsaid about him,
SO naturally he bears few scars.
Add to this the fact that he be-

Britain's Agricultural
Policy Unsound

II is very obvious now that the
British made mistake in their
whole agricultural policy, from the
national defense standpoint--a mis-
take almost as grave as their lack
OF preparedness.
Sir Charles Ross, inventor and
manufacturer OF the famous Ross
rifle in the days preceding and dur
ing the last World war, has been
pounding away at the British gov
eminent from his home In Wash
ington since 1889 to do something
drastic about the food situation.
Sir Charles has been deeply i'll
terested in agricultural problems for
many years. As the largest remain
ing landowner in Scotland, he pried
every bit Of information possible out
OF the U. S. department of agricul-
ture with view to making those
lands more productive.
AS a result, he came early to a
pronounced conviction that tractors
were absolutely necessary. Early
in the war he urged that it was vital
to Britain's safety to have every
possible acre producing food. He
seized on a calculation printed in
the London Times which showed
that some 3,000,O 1000 odd acres, which
had been under cultivation at the
close of the last war, in 1918, were
not being used for the production
of food year ago.
Proper use of those 5000, 00C
acres" says Sir Charles, would
have made Britain almost self-sup-
porting on foodstuffs. But this was
not done.
but for years prior to the out
break of this war the British gov.
eminent had deliberately discour,
aged domestic agriculture, allowing
the prices to sag below the cost Of
production. The purpose of this was
to give trade advantage to oul
industries. We wanted to sell oul
manufactured products in Argentine
for example, SO we wanted to Dt
able to buy in return the beef anc
grain OF that country" he explained

Troy Splits
Conference Comes

TROY, Feb. An thrilling ov
ertime struggle the Poison Pirates
edged out a 1926 win over the
Trojans at Poison last Friday. Pol
sons Davenport dropped in a field
goal in the extra period to decide
the game.
The game started close and end
ed the same way as Troy once held
a 6-point advantage in the third
quarter which was short-lived. Both
teams played hard and clean right
from the opening whistle and the
first quarter score read TO in Tioys
favor. Still fighting on equal terms
and finding each others zone de-
tense hard to penetrate the half
time count stood at 1912. AT the
end of the third quarter Troy and
Poison were deadlocked at 1922
and the regular game ended at a
1926 tie.
Kuwahara was the big scoring
gun for the Trojans as he accounted
for 10 points and Montgomery was
high for the Pirates with IL.

"You have my ears" I told her.
"I would like to know why Ne
gro newspapers, ever so often,
print a colored woman's name
without giving her a title. That's
what I want you to tell me-" the
little lady demanded.
1t was quite a shock, the ques-
ton was. I hadn't been expecting
anything of that sort. Really, I
thought she was going to ask about
Hitler, Selassie or Georgia's Gov
crnor Talmadge.
There I sat, plate of whatever

and heavy, very heavy question
hanging over me.

ing for me to explain.
you'll admit" I began in my
crude way of explaining chat COL
ored women, or ladies if you'll have
it that way, are called Miss and
Mrs. on the society pages of Ne
gro publications."
She agreed to that.
"And, they are called Miss and
Mrs. in church articles and
obituaries" I said.
"But, what about the women
you write up In police and court
cases? Now and then you cali a
woman involved in some crime or
accident Miss or Mrs, but that's
not often" the lady across the
table reminded me-
I tried to tell her it is a hard
job for a reporter to determine
whether a woman involved in some
crime or police investigation is
married or unmarried. I told her,
here in the South a colored wom-
ans name is entered on police
blotter or court record without a
title. She is just plain Mamie or
Evadell or Maud or whatever her
name happens to be.
I SUPPOSE ALL readers OF
colored newspapers have wondered
about this very same thing. They
know why the white papers don't
bother to give colored woman
title.
But, in a colored paper, it's diff
ferent. Every woman should have
a title, even though she be the per-
