And if the war clouds, hovering peril ously lew over Europe, do burst, those American “statesmen” who kept us out of the League by raising a great hue -and-cry about entangling alliances will learn that the absence of entang ling alliances will not keep us out of the conflict. But even if we should not become involved—which is most improbable—we dread to think of (die ccoonmic plight this country would suffer with all Europe, already bankrupt, engaging in anotner disas trous war. The gravity of the present situation is bringing down upon the Republican party the anathema of hundreds of political and economic students, regardless of party affiliation. Senator Nel son, of'Minnesota, one of the three oldest members of the Senate, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, and representative of a strong Republican state, has recently called attention to the in consistency of certain Senators who formerly were loud in their denur nation of any proposal resembling an “entangling alliance,” blit wno now favor this country going into Europe. Expressing himself on the floor of the Senate, Senator Nel son recently said: ; ~ “I have been surprised at the attitude assumed by certai# statesmen lately. Two years ago it was considered a dangerous matter to have anything to do with Europe. The phrase ‘en tangling alliances’ was heard on all sides, and it was thought to' be a most dangerous thing to have anything to do with the affairs of Europe in any shape or manner. Lately we have found men on this floor most strenuous in the advocacy of our going to Eu rope. The Senator from Idaho (Mr. Borah) and the Sepator from Arkansas (Mr. Robinson) want us to participate in reconstruct ing Europe. “I may be a heretic, but I have always believed that it was the greatest mistake, economically and in every other way, for America not to enter the League of Nations, with one or two amendments of the'covenant. If wc had become a part of the t«pauo of Nations, we would have stabilized conditions over there. Political conditions must be stabilized ‘before economic conditions can be stabilized, and I am satisfied in my own mind, though I may.be called a heretic, that if we had entered into 'the League of Nations and atcepted the Treaty of Versailles, in stead of trying to sneak under it by piecemeal, as some of us- havo been doing lately, conditions would have been far better in Europe than they are today. \ “There were some features of the League of Nations of which ■J-did not approve; but we could have eliminated them. In its main features, however, it would have acted upon the conditions of Europe just as our little army today on the Rhine acts upon the foreign soldiers. It would have stabilized conditions there, and the economic difficulty/under which Europe is suffering to day would have been far less than it is now. “A11 the people of Europe look to America. As a result of the war a large share of the money of the world came to thisT ; ; j country; we were the strong, the rich country, and we attained : fpt such a position in the war that, had we been a member of the , • League of Nations, if Uncle Sam had shaken his head to the ; powers of Europe, our advice would have been taken, and we • . would have controlled the whole sitiration. iw; ^ ^ m *y ** * s0rt of funeraroration on the days of the yet I felt then, and I feel now, that we made the great- > 0®* mistake in the world when we did not adopt the Treaty of • Versailles, with some amendments, particularly as to Article 10. If we had done that, conditions in the world today would have been much better than they are how.” GEORGIA IS PRAISED ^ ii Refennecs t0 Georgia in a recent advertisement of the Bank of the Manhattan Company in the New York newspapers'has been accorded a very ready response throughout the state. This bank has adopted the very novel idea. of devoting, a portion of 2?"’“ ‘ e « h of ita advertisements to informative matter about some 'Z.'S.' -' ***** * n **• union. The idea is to introduce to New York the dif- ILrt-.7- * ecti . ons of the country, on tho theory that “the more New r : York knows and appreciates what is going on in other parts of th * country, the better it will be for all of us.” kj • In a recent advertisement it has this to say about Georgia under the head of the “Peach Orchard State. Say “Georgia” and you conjure up visions of acre after acre of peach trees in blossom. At picking time these trees yield nearly-five million bushels of fruit. But Georgia has other, products. Over a million and a half bales of cotton— nearly four raiilicn bushels of peanuts— in all a half biUion do)lars in farm products annually. And her manufactures have made great strides—reaching $693,237,000 in 1919. Georgia typifies the New South—scientific cultivation, divert sification of crops—factories to take her growth her banks hnve done their part It has been the, privilege of the Bank of Manhattan Company to work with them to serve her farms and factories. * The attitude taken by this finangjgl organization is sure ~ to be [productive of good results. As the Atlanta Journal sug gests: "If it has seemed at times tjiat our neighbor of'the North east have been readier to censure [than'.to understand, let us now acknowledge the more heartily [this generous comment’ of a banking .institution .that has proved its national vision. The great ness and the glory of America abide in no one region, but in the common life and coworking, of them all. For the North to know the South, and the South the North, and for them both to hold true sisterhood with the West means the growth of a quicken ing consciousness of union that will bring to a more abundant life the faith of those who founded and preserved the republic. To this good purpose the Bank of the Manhattan Company has contributed, in its own way, "a word and a deed that ,be effective far beyond the ranges of mere commerce and finance. It has borne witness to a spirit, a truly American spirit, that will grow, let us hope, till it js all-dominant/’ *' Lazy men without money are always putting a loud pedal on —tlie idea that it takes money to make money.

Let us pledge ourselves to service.

SASHES FEATURED The sash Is to be a feature of the summer frock. There is no doubt about it, arsash is one of the most youthful accessories that can be added to any gown—parti cularly the wide butterfly bows so popular now. NEW CUFF8 Very wide, flaring cuffs are ap pearing on the new long, tU&t sleeves. Sometimes the flaring part comes over the hand, other times it is directed toward the el- bow. • COR8AGE8 WITH FUR Corsages outlined with fur are used on the thinnest of chiffon and georgette frocks. The single rose is most effective trimmed this way. * VELVET COATEES Velvet coatees are to be popular for spring wear. They come in gorgeous tones of orange, blue and green, and sometimes have lace frills about the collar and extend ing beyond the wide sleeves. ^ A Puzzle A Day Captain James White was elect ed president of the company.

DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU? A Little of Everything And Not Much of 'Anything. By HUGH ROWE THAT— Few people realize that the American Jew has met wUJh much success in agricultural lines. The general impression prevails that these citizens’ avocations are con fined to banking and merchandis ing, but this is not the case. Througout the country some of the largest planters and directors of large agricultural plants are owned and managed by the Jew.

It is true there are deserving people who are thrown on the world to earn a living by begging, but there are few of them who are not able to earn an honorable living by fol lowing an honest occupation. There are hundreds of ways by which the unfortunate can earn his livelihood other than from begging and authorities should see to it that the street beggar is prohibited from plying his trade unless he is absolutely incapacitat ed to work or to earn an income - other than that from begging. En couraging begging and misplaced charity cn the part of our- good people, oftimes destroys the char acter of men and women who are prone to fall into the habit of idleness from begging and making their living without actual work. I have known of many cases in Athene, but there are fewer of this class today than there have been in years in Athens. The pro fessional 'loafer and begga® who travels from place to place should be put to work or else sent to the stockade where his idle time may be employed profitably to the city, county or state: To help This .character cf beggars is misplaced charity and the making of unde sirable citizens. One of these iten erant beggars whs hailed ihto court in a neighboring city recent ly and the presiding judge asked him the following questions: “You say that this man has a grudge against you?” demanded the judge. “Yes, Your Honor,” replied Bill the beggar. ‘When I was blind he useta steal the pennies from my cup and when I was a cripple he’d run down the street with my box of pencils.” “Anything elseX’ “Yes.- Your Honor.

LARRY GANTT While the Farmers' Conference did riot convene until 3 p. m., to show,the interest taken in that gathering, by ten o’clock people began, to arrive from neighboring counties ana even distant sections of the State. I talked with many of these visitors and they antici pate great and important ’ results from the meeting. And this not only applies to farmers but to the bankers, merchants and citizens generally of Athens. The belief Is that this gathering will result in infusing new hope and energy in to our people and farmers ready to begin work on their crops with fresh confidence, and spirit- Sev eral representative farmers tell me that they have been waiting for this meeting before buying pofcmn or fertilizers to learn what Is best for them to do. They are also in terested in other crops and want to kriow about them. I find many who will embark in the cattle and hog business, and came here to secure all the information possible on this line. The labor situation is another problem to solve, and by interchange of ideas, farmers hope to better" understand the situation. This Conference was the general topic of conversation yesterday and Its deliberations are looked forward to with very £reat interest.

Sto^J ■ Here’s Instants w* Each day while the Conference is in session I shall spend my every available hour among the visitors and try and interview as many farmers as possible from the different counties and sections.

Farmers from Morgan and Greene tell me that over half the negroes have moved away .from their counties and many farms must lie Idle this year for'The want of hands to work .them. ' .* ? But unusually 'large crops of small grain have been planted and farmers have about recovered from their panic. They are going to plant a limited acreage in cot ton, but for a money crop they will largely rely on peanuts and stock. Some farmers are going In the dairying business. They are also setting out peach orchards. Elbert has lost fewer negroes than ahy county in this section and farmers tell me they can get all the labor they need. . Elbert will have a delegation ,at this meeting of its leading agricul turalists; Mr. Payue, a prominent lawyer of Elberton, tells -me that his county last year made about 9,000 bales of cotton but they are going to fight the pest right, and this year, and have set their flgu- at 14,000 bales and expect to make them. Mr. Payne says that not a single business failure oc curred in his town and the mer chants are all doing well. Land values keep up and most farmers have plenty of food stuff to run them.

They say it is espe cially adapted to this section and can be grown with less labor than a corn crop. .. An average yield is half a ton per acre, and it brings.15 cents per pound. This is an Income of 5150 an acre, and which seems good. Dr. Pirkle, of Monroe has planted broom corn, and it a believer in it, He grew last year fifteen tons arid sold it for 15 cents per pound. The seed cost from $5 to $7 per bushel and can be bought of the Illinois Improved Seed Co.,' of Arocla. Ill,, and which company will give all information about planting, preparing and marketing the crop. Years ago Col. D. C.
