They’re having fun with Cnbot
Lodge,
Who can’t hie old-time record dodge.
It gives the people much fatigue
That’s he’s first "agin” then "for" a
League.
It is to laugh! Here’s old George
Harvey
(“The only rhyme that fits Ib larve,)
Wearing In London short knee
pants—
“And so do his sisters, and his cous
ins and his aunts.”
Coal Miners want a six-hour day
With, of course, ten hours pay,
And on the 1st will kick like mules
And prove themselves some April
fools.
Husbands raising a mighty row
’Cause they up and say as how
Their darling wives, their heart’s de
light,
Were locked in a jury room all night
With ho jurors. It got their goat,
And now those women don’t want to
vote.
No wonder disgust was most intense,
But hero the Judges would have
more sense.
Now hero's a truth wo should not
shirk:
Too many are living without work,
And for idle hands 'tis always true
The devil finds enough to do.
If cvcryono worked—this rule ne’er
fails—
We’d have powerful little nood for
jnils.
Pray notice the "No Spitting” signs;
Remember that five dollar fines
Will tend to mnko you up-to-dntc
On where you should expectorate.
The case of Lodge vs. Lodge in the
United States Senato puts some in
teresting rending in the Congres
sional Record.
Unless you hnvo fully made up
your mind to FIGHT the boll weevil
this year, you had better not waste
your time planting cotton.
Ambassador George Harvey pi
rouetting around in kneo pants at a
London reception! Let’s not recall
him—just let him stay there all the
time.
Spring Poaiaa.
If John Quit should Narcissus wed,
As to Squire Hy A. Clnth Bhe's led
'Mongst springing flowers from hill
and heath
She'd find a lovely Bridal Wreath.
Every once in a. while wo hear
some one criticize some of the great
est publicists in the country for ad
vising the fnrmcr to hold his cotton.
But just think for a moment what
would have happened if he had
grown panic-stricken and dumped it
all on the market at one time when
the slump came in 1920. While the
farmer who held his cotton has been
disappointed in the result, he would
undoubtedly have lost more if all of
them had knocked the bottom out of
the price by trying to see who could
sell first.
“Efficiency."
The Republican party used to pride
itself on its business efficiency. While
it is true that most of this vaunted
efficiency in the old days was based
on its success in looking after the
welfare of “big interests,” its present
record of achievement is principally
confined to putting Republicans in
office.
The two closing years of the Wil
son administration were hamstrung
by a Republican Congress, which did
not try to do anything constructive
itself but did all it dared to hamper
the President in his work, with neith
er regard nor sympathy for his phy
sical condition. They flouted the
President’s recommendations, which
would have soared the country much
misery if they had been adopted, and
all that was necessary to get most
Republican Senators and Represen
tatives to vote against a measure was
to lot it be known that President Wil
son favored it.
The country hoped that a Repub
lican President might be able to
guide these bucking bronchos along
constructive lines, but it is now seen
that he is going to hnvo to again
reverse the position ho took in the
Senate when Mr. Wilson was Presi
dent, nnd will have to follow the ex
ample of his predecessors and use the
“big stick.” President Roosevelt
used the "big stick” of official pat
ronage, and President Wilson that of
public opinion. What President
Harding will choose remains to bo
seen, but he is going to hn,ve to do
something along those lines unless he
wishes to join Judgp Taft as a one-
term President.
All branches of the administration
are yoked up together, however, in
the example of inefficiency shown in
our latest compliction with Germany
and our Allies. In spite of Senator
Lodge's previous declarations that a
separate treaty of peace with Ger
many would be disgraceful and un
thinkable, ho helped to bring it a-
bout, and he and his colleagues seem
ed to take pleasure in disregarding
Democratic warnings that Amorican
rights were not properly safeguard
ed. It has alroady come to light that
the claims of American citizens a-
ganst Germany for the loss of civi
lian lives nnd property have b^en
jeopardized by this separate treaty,
and now comes another interesting
development.
If Germany had won the war, she
would have had troops stationed in
every Allied country to collect in
demnities nnd enforce her terms, and
the amount claimed hy the Allies ns
reparations would have been a more
bagatelle compared to what she
would have demanded,judging by her
past history. The fortunes of war
went against her —fortunately for
the world,—nnd Allied nrmios have
occupied her frontiers ever since the
armistice was signed. Defentcd na
tions always have to bear the expen
ses of such nrmies of occupation, and
the Allies hnvo just collected a huge
amount for this purpose. We have
expended $211,000,000 in doing our
share of playing tho pnrt of “watch
oil the Rhine,” nnd no provision was
made for the payment of this in our
separate treaty with Germany. The
Allies claim that since we repudiated
the treaty of Versailles, which provi
ded for our pnrt of this expense,they
did not do any collecting for us but
simply looked aftor their own. In
spite of these circumstances, our gov
ernment is asking rc-imbursemcnt
from the Allies, who naturally are
not pleased at such a demand, and
tell us to go to Germany for our part
as they did.
“Spiting WilBon" by these world-
wreckers cost the people of this
country billions of dollars by bring
ing about unnecessarily bad condi
tions, nnd now it looks as if $241,-
000,000 would be lost to the United
States treasury itself by Republican
mismanagement. The country voted
for a change—and got it!

Times are unquestionably getting
better, and the year promises to turn
out well for everyone but the poor
galoot who “goes it blind” on cotton.
He is going to be lost beyond redemp
tion as far as possibility of present
or future prosperity is concerned.
With every prospect that 1022 will be
n banner year for the boll weevil in
North Georgia, no Polk county far
mer can afford to do anything else
than raise his own food nnd feed sup
plies, planting only as much cotton ns
be can take care of under boll wee
vil conditions. The man who does
this is going to not only “pay out”
for 1922 but be able to catch up with
at least a part of that old 1920 hang
over. And this program consistently
carried out would in five years make
, this the most independent farming
section in the world.

Be Careful. [Our Best Offer
Many farmers use no care in the
selection of com for planting, but
would just ns soon get it from a nub
bin as a perfect enr. The same is j
true of cotton, and one of the doplor- j
able conditions ns to that industry in
this section arises from this fact. In
saving their own seed, too few far
mers have exercised care as to selec
tion, nnd the result hns been an un
usual quantity of short staple cotton
which cannot be classed ns anyth'ng
but low grade nnd which can be used
only by mills working “waste.”
Here in Codrtown, for instance,
our mills rnnnot use cotton of less
than seventh-eighths of an inch sta
ple, running up to one and one-six-
teentli.
Instead of counting everything as
cotton that comes from cottonseed,
it will pay farmers to give particular
attention to raising cotton of the
right quality. There is entirely too
much low grade cotton being raised
in this section, and it is cutting down
profits too fast.
Don’t plant seed of a short-staple
variety. You can’t get as much for
your cotton if you do, for the value
isn’t there. It ennnot be made into
rood yarn, so what is the use in rais
ing it?
Much of the trouble may have come
from trying to get a cotton that
would beat the boll weevil. Mr. Wm.
Parker, Jr., of the Cook Duck Mils,
had a sample of such cotton handed
him recently. The seed had been
sent to a farmer as a weevil-beater,
but while it matured early the staule
was so short ns to be worthless. For
tunately, he had planted it in his
garden, where it could not mix with
other cotton and cause it to deter
iorate.
With a boll weevil year on us, it
behooves everyone to study how to
make the most out of a crop. To
have a short crop nnd a short staple
at the same time would certainly be a
calamity.
And while being careul as to the
seed you plant, be especially careful
to plan to raise your own food nnd
feed supplies, with some extra for
sale. They are going to be needed,
and present indications are that the : r
prices will be better than for the past
year.
The four-power Pacific treaty will
be voted on by the Senate tomorrow,
and will probably be ratified by a
small majority.

The Supreme Court has decided
that Jim Mathis, convicted of the
murder of Lewis Kinsey, a mnil car
rier, in Chattooga county a year a-
go last January, will have to serve
the life sentence imposed upon him.
Sick of hearing the newspapers
talk about fighting the boll weevil,
are you? Well, you’re not near as
sick as you will be if you try to raise
cotton without fighting him by every
means in your power. And it is well
to understand in advance that no
member of the weevil family has a
“laying-by time.”
