BE&TONPBALEY' Berton Braley’s Daily Poem tioft shouk addressed to The Banner-Herald. DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN IN ATHENS Hul^ Green, a seventy year old negro woman, was found dead in a cotton field'near Greenwood,-S. C. The news reports yester day stafe in pail: “Tilt old woihan had no home and lived with negroes who would tdkc care of her and permit her a shelter under their roofs. Qn Moiyiay nigfft she is said to have been refused admittance to a negro* house near the Promised Land Church, and- to have be come lojt in the dark, searching for u house. Her tracks could , still be Seen yesterday where slip Imd wandered from the road into a cotton field. She had only one uhoe and soon lost that in the mud. } "Weakened from exposure, the old woman fell frequently and the pririts of her hands and knees in the cotton row's could be traced for nearly a quarter of a mile. Giving up at last, she crawled jbetween two rows and lay down. She tucked a rag of a swcatcr'under her head and thiew another tattered bit of sweater over lief face and died.” The; man who can read that .story and not “swallow his lump” * had better take stock of himself.. "Weakened from exposure the old woman fell frequently and the prints of her hands and knees could be traced fpr nearly a quarter of a mile.

Too late in this case. , Yeti we have similar cases around us every day, being re lived bjr the fine girls of the Salvation Army and Red Cross. Braving* every kind of weather these good people arc going day after d^'into poverty stricken qrarters distributing food and medicine, and even nursing patients themselves whenever the oc casion demands. < ’ Maijy a person today owes his new start in life to the encour aging assistance received from these, two splendid organizations. Contributing a little money now and then to the work Ts the small est thing about it. I • BUSINESS OUTLOOK Crefie-hapgers are routed by the news that more pig iron ' was made in January than in any month sjnee Uctober, 1920. Pdas the word along—“the best in 27 months.” Tho pig iron out- •- put in January was the largest of any January ever, except in |910 during the big boom, and even then the production was less i than 4 per cent above tho first month of 1923. Do you realize that . America is producing a fourth more pig iron thun in 1913, the ’• best year..before the-war? That’s certainly- getting back up to . .normal, and even above normal. The old saying still holds true: “So goes pig iron, so gees general business.’ Farm implement makers report that their sales are twice as big as a year ago. This is as important ns big production of pig iron, for St indicates that fhc farmer’s buying power is returning. When tho farmer’s buying power reaches the same level as the - city manv, equilibrium will be restored to our economics system. That wilt' have to come, before business generally can go ahead smoothly: Rather bad export news: Less than 65 million bushels of wheat, were exported last year, compared with nearly 280 mil lion busttels in 1921. Still, in 1913, a good pre-war normal year, wheat expo rts were slightly under 100 million bushels. And the slump in^wheat exports during 1922 was partly duo to Europe’s increased! consumption of corn os-a'substitute for wheat’ Ameri can farmjprs exported over 166 mill.ion bushels of corn last year, against ifout 129 million bushels in 1921-and an average of only 45 million bushels a year in 1909-1913. ' Measured in bushels, cx- of fur two leading grain crops total more than twice as big as before the war, despite the "European situation.” The year 1923 has Started out very encouragingly. And the outlook if reasonably good for any one content to make'compari sons with normal times. Trouble is, most of us. do our comparing with the} abnormally prosperous years A>f the war-boom, times • — •‘■ill 'never repeat in our generation, when we arc spend* berty Bond money—mortgaging the future. You hear ailing about how our foreign trade Hus fallen off since ; the war bubble burst. Things look less blue when you take the ^figures fir merchandise exports from, the United States and 'find that they compare like this: v H> MKfc \ N :. f.' .. ..$3,831,516,735 Jpjk vr * Mfs .$ ■ 2,484,018,292 ’} The fain just about matches the increase-in average whole sale priccg. Are we op a normal basis again without realising it? Senses democratic victory ■ The $ld warhorses cf the Indiana Democratic Editorial Asso ciation hive held a bqnquct at Indianapolis, Indiana, and the fcptakers pniffed victory from afar, in the next general election. Samuel Ik Ralston, genulor-elect from Indiana, declared that the people arfc- clamoring for retrenchment and reform in government expenses but he pointed out that such action will not be brought about unfit there is a change in the administration. “In national affairs,” Balaton declared, “Republicans are hav- troubje to run the government in time of peace at as low coat t*4ple as the Democrats did in time of war. In other words the appropriations of ordinary running expenses of the govern ment had] to be increased in .1921 and 1922.’’ Othef speakers {deluded Thomas Taggart, Democratic leader, Mrs. John Kern, wife of the former United States senator. Herc’a good news: Bradstrcct’s agency reports that average wholesale prices'pt the 96 leading commodities advanced less than a tenth'ofcl per echt-during January. Why good news? Because, at Ie*at temporarily, It will help put the brakes on rising, retail .prices.-At'the beginning of Fehniary, wholesale prices as report*, cd by Braditreet’s .were only 49 per cent higher than in 1913. | Compared -with December 1, 1922, they showed a very slight drop. r Jl may indicate a breathing spell instead of stabilisation, but, at least, prices seem to be attached to some kind of heavy weight that mates a runaway improbable. That weight is public willing- ncss to pay, which in the long run is the real price regulator. . A movie .explaining the Einsiein theory is given its first American showing in New York.
