REPORT ON BY-PRODUCTS OF SWEET you know how many by-products can he made from sweet potatoes? The old-fashioned innocent looking yam has a store of'magic things in its skin which the chemists have found out about and actually pro duced: Pour kinds of flour. Pour kinds of meal. - A delicious syrup. Good grade of vinegar. ’ Shoe blacking. Library paste. Nice, white starch. Mock cocoanut. , Pour kinds of breakfast food. Writing ink. Two grades of coffee. Two grades of tapioca. Stock food. 14 kinds of wood filler. Over forty shades of dye that range from black to orange. And last of all—rubber. These things ,have actually been made at the Tuslcegee Experiment sta tion. As yet there is no commercial de velopment of these potato by-products, but there will be. We can all.-,remember when cotton seed were thrown away; now they are worth nearly as much per acre as the cotton. It used to be that millers were pros ecuted for throwing wheat bran into tfe stream; people said it killed the fish. Coal tar used to be valued only for roofing; the by-products of coal tar as developed by chemists make one of the fairy stories of modern indus try. It is reasonable to believe that in a few years the sweet potato will come into its own. It is not an expensive crop to raise and does not draw heav ily upon the soil like cotton and cane, Apd the yield per acre is enormous. . Incidentally the United States de partment of agriculture is planning to establish a sweqt potato syrup produc tion plant at Fitzgerald, Ga., to exper iment with the possibilities ; of the sweet potato. WHAT’S YOUR IDEA? What is the most crying need of the hour in this town—a need that could be supplied by our local au thorities ? We would like to have some an swers to this question for publication in the columns of our paper. The an swers should be brief and to the point. Our local authorities are of our best citizenry. They are eminently prac tical and are capable of absorbing and making the most of the diversified ideas that would thus be presented to them. Think the matter over with care, and then write us your opinion of what is most needed in this town. No matter how brilliant your per sonai idea may be, it can be of no value to the „ community unless you make it public. That is what We seek—publicity of ideas. It is good for us all. Spring yours! BROOKS. Peace Is Restored In Illinois Strike Elizabethtown, Ill.—Peace virtually has been restored in the Hardin coun ty Fluorspar mining district,, practical ly on the day of the first anniversary, September 11, of the calling of the strike. Developments include: Refusal of Ed Carbine, organizer of the inter national Union of Mine, Mill and Smelt er Workers, to come to Elizabethtown from Harrisburg to appear before the investigating committed appointed by the governor; an agreement by the town officials to withdraw private de tectives. v Got to Make It Hot. An employer remarks that a good deal of “roasting” seems necessary to get things well done.—Boston Tran- tcript. Hot and dry feebly expresses wea ther conditions through this section at the present. All late crops have been materially injured by the drouth and extreme hot weather. The cotton crop, what little is mad'e will be gath ered in September. The crops through this section will not average one bale to the plow, not enough to half-way pay taxes, much less anything on debtsi. It is the opportune time for the authorities to ease somewhat cer tain items of taxation. Will it be done? The protracted meetings at all the churches through this section have been held. As a whole the meetings have been satisfactory. Rev. Brown assisted by Rev. Strickland, of Atlan ta, are holding protracted services at Vaughn this week. Rev. Stone filled his appointment at 1 the Christian Church Sunday and received two members into the church. Mrs. Ellie Drewry has been confin ed to the hospital in Griffin the past ten daySp, where Ijshe underwent a serious operation. We are glad to state that she Is improving. Mrs. T. C. Malone has been very low for several days. She is reported some better at present. Mr. H. C. Chapell is still confined to his room. No improvement in his condition. Whole Block Destroyed In Greenfield Greenfield, Tenn.—Fire of undeter mined origin early in the morning of September 11, destroyed an entire block of buildings in the business sec tion of Greenfield, including the post- office and town hall. A number of stores and farm implement warehouse were among other buildings destroyed. The loss is estimated at one hundred thousand dollars. So far as known there was no loss of life, but a num ber of narrow escapes have been re ported to the authorities. The cause is being investigated.

Near New Terminal Stat'on In. theLimeli^hf EARLY SEEDING Unde Sam and Disarmament Henry Cabot Lodge ©^Massachu setts, Republican leader of the senate, ha» been appointed by President Har ding a delegate to the coining disarm ament conference iu Washington. In the senate, in answer to Senator Hari risen of Mississippi, he outlined some of the principles which will: guide him at the conference. He favors a general. ; limitation of armaments, but lie favors no limi tation unless it is general. He re gards armament reduction as primari ly necessary to relieve the world’s economic distress, and he hopes that it will also promote universal peace. He considers that the United States has already cut its array and navy budgets to the danger line and thinks it would be a grave mistake to make further curtailment unless there is an international agreement for reduction of armament. “I have always been in favor of a limitation of armament,” said Senator Lodge. “But it must be a general reduction. I shall do everything in my power to carry out these views in the great office to which the Pr^ident lias appointed me.” Of Small Grain Proves Profitable. Every Man His Own Censor The C'^gressional Record, as ev eryone knows is supposed to be a shorthand record of the proceedings of congress. But it isn’t—always. Take, for instance, the battle of words in the senate the other day between the fiery “Jim” Reed of Missouri and the exact-spoken, blond-haired Me- Cumber of 'North Dakota. It was a fracas the witnesses will not soon for get, and the only reason it ended as a battle of words was because John Sharp Williams of Mississippi (por trait herewith) a master peacemaker, intervened. The bonus bill was under discus sion. Reed twitted McCumber. The North Dakota man replied. Finally the exchange of compliments got to the point where McCumber said some thing about settling tlie matter “out side.” Reed replied: “I never saw a blackguard yet who did not want to go outside to set tle something.” The story of the Reed-McCumber fracas was published everywnere. But n ” nper printed the story in full. There was just one publication left in all America in a position, to record tlie affair in all its details and that was the Congressional Record. But not one word did tlie Record contuin. Why? Simply because the most complete censorship in America had ac complished its work. Reed and McCumber themselves did the censoring. Earliness of seeding wheat and oats has proven to be the most important factor in securing large yields, in ex periments ;condueted for six years in Athens, Georgia, says the Exten sion Division of the Georgia State College of Agricttlture. Oats s’eeded o* October 15, gave an average of 39.5 bushels per acre for the six year period, while those seed ed on November 15, averaged only 17 bushels per acre for the same period. This shows an, increase in yield of 132 per cent in favor of the early seeding. A similar test with wheat for a five year period shows that when seeded on October 15, the average yield is 3p.7 bushels while the November seedings have averaged only 18.8 bushels, or an increase of 16.9 bush els from early seeding. Above Macon oats and wheat should be sown at least by October 20, and further south by November 1st. Rye for seed purposes may be seed ed slightly later with no decrease in yield. Land for grain should be broken at once where possible and allowed to stand until just before seeding time when it should be harrowed down smooth. Where grain is to follow' cot ton the green stalks can be turned under, as soon as the cotton is picked, the land rolled and grain seeded with a disk drill. An application of 200-300 pounds of acid phosphate at planting time and 100 pounds nitrate soda or 80 pounds sulphate of ammonia about February 15, to March 1, will pay in most cases. Among the best varieties of oats tested at the College are Appier, Ful- ghum, Bancroft, Hundred Bushel and Texas Rust Proof. In the extreme northern part of the state, Fulcaster -wheat is one of the best varieties, but further south the Blue Stem, or Georgia Red will give the best yields. FLINT RIVER ASSOGIATlOf VERY MUCH AWAKE. Wood and the Philippines Am There may have bee* a Jdme when the residents of a small country town or a farming district took little or no interest in affairs outatde of their own local community, other than to vote their straight party tickets at election time. , But that time is not now. It has not been for many years. The man behind the counter or the plow is just as vitally interested in state and national affairs as is his cousin in the great city. The foreign news is just as careful ly scanned from day to day, and the field of research and invention is re ligiously scrutinized. There js little that transpires in the world of aifairs that is not known and understood by the man in his rural home, for it is through his con stant search for advanced knowledge of a practical nature that he is en abled to keep pace with the swiftly moving tides of life. If a just comparison could be made it is probable that, man for man, the person in the country town or on the farm would be found to be better post ed on the affairs of the world in gen eral than the average dweller of any ' of the great cities.

Leonard Wood authority to maintain his army rank while serving r as governor general of the Philippines, for which lie lias been selected by the President. This, of course, means that General Wood, in the judgment ' of the committee, will have to resign • from the army to accept the place. ! Representative McKenzie of Illinois, j said that the action was taken with- 1 out criticism of General Wood; it was simply felt that a bad precedent would otherwise be established. On the other hand, Senator Wads worth of New York, chairman of the senate military committee, lias intro duced a bill, understood to have been suggested by tlie administration pro viding that active army ofllcers shall be eligible for “civil offices of the gov ernment in administering its territor ial possessions.” The University of Pennsylvania board of trustees has granted General Wood leave of absence frond scholastic duties until September 1, 1922. What No One U. S. Woman Has j Both the National League of Women Voters and tlie NationaNWom- aa’s party are working for Disappoint ment of a woman on the .United States delegations to the coming disarma ment conference In Wasi#igtoti. And lo and behold! I?epresentative Alice Robertson of Oklahoma (portrait here with) goes back on lier sisters and will not countenance the proposition for a moment. Just listen to this! She says: “It’s Just nonsense. I don’t know of a woman in the United States pos sessed of tlie qualifications to sit on that commission. She would have to have experience in international af fairs. She would have to have expe rience in diplomacy and diplomatic affairs. She would have to be famil iar with foreign languages and condi tions. She would have to have social standing. She should not be a climb er socially. She would have to be pre pared to listen much and talk little. I do not know of a woman who dlls that bill, da you?” WE REDUCE PRICES THILIS is a store where you are sure of receiving the full 1 value of your dollar on every purchase you make.
