EUROPEANS HATE US,
SEN. CARAWAY SAYS
ARKANSAN JUST RETURNED
FROM EUROPEAN VISIT,
GIVES HIS IMPRESSIONS.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The old
world is in a deplorable mess, anoth
er conflagration is inevitable unless
something is quickly done; there lis
general hatred or distrust of Ameri
ca, and France is particularly bitter;
France should be told to cut down
her military establishment, such, in
bgief, are the impressions gained by
Senator Thadeus H. Caraway, of Ar
kansas, after several weeks in Europe.
Senator « Caraway, like Senator Wil
liam J. Harris, of Georgia, went as a
delegate to the interparliamentary un
ion for peace held at Vienna. Senator
Harris is now en route back to Amer
e ;
Senator Caraway drew a rather|
gloomy picture of European affairs,
and his impressions of Europe were
anything but peace-like. Discussing |
European conditions, Senator Carat |
way said: ‘
Bitter Towards America.
“The ruling passions are hatred,
bitterness and jealousy. France hates
lEngland and England hates her, but
most of all France hates America. In
fact, they all hate America, who is
used by the politicians as the goat
for placing the blame for anything
and everyvthing that goes wrong.
“The man on the street believes
what the politicians tell him. He be
lieves that America is selfish and
greedy. and that she would not ]n-lp]
the world if ske could.” |
The senator said he was persuaded
that France is an absolute, mvnzu‘u’
to whatever chances there are for|
peace. She is keeping her militar_\"
strength together in the belief thal?
she will be the master of the world |
after another great war. There arv!
more public improvements going on |
in France today than there is in|
America, the senator continued., “They |
are building comprehensive and ex-!
pensive systems of new high\\'a_\'s:i
they are building railroads and are
spending millions of irancs on ri\'er'
and harbor improvements, and are]
working on many other projects which |
they would not have dared to ha\'c[
attempted, because of the huge ex
pense, before the war. With a (loficitl
-of 13,000,000,000 {francs France is;
spending 10,000,000,000 {for improve-!
ments and then howling that she can-(
not pay her debts to America,” the |
Arkansas senator said. “The devastat- |
ed area, which was swept clean by |
the armies in the great war, has been!
restored fully 75 per cent, while the
farmers living on the restored landl
have much better homes than they,
had before, better even than that own- |
ed by the average American farmers.
These homes are built, he said, not
with the expectation of paying for
them, but with the expectation wof
collecting the cost from Gcrmany.'
France is expecting and is insisting
upon collecting al} that was allowed
her by the treaty. of Versailles, and
vet is unwilling to pay the interna
tional debts.
‘Message for. Clemenceau.
“The best service this country couldi
perform,” Senator Caraway said,
“would be to tell France that we arel
perfectly willing to stand a reasonable
amount of abuse from local politicians(
to covér up their own failures, but
that we are not going to sit quiet and]
be lied about, and that we expect
France to cut down her military, es
tablishments; bring her expenses with
in her revenues and pay her debt to
the United States. There is no sense
in this country carrying Europe, and
then letting Europe spend its moneyl
to keep thousands of soldiers in uni- |
form.” '
Bureau Has Completed |

“1 have had trouble with |
an inactive liver,”” wrote Mrs. |
S. Nichols, of 4412 Spencer
St., Houston, Texas. ‘‘When |
I would get constipated, I would |
feel a light, dizzy feeling in my |
head. To getup in the morning |
with a lightness in the head and |
atrembly feeling is often a sign |
that the stomach is out of order. !
For this 1 took 77zedfard’s|
Black-Draught, and without a
doubt can say I have never |
found its equal in any liver |
medicine. It not only cleans |
the liver, but leaves you insuch |

not seem to set well, or the |
stomach is a little sour.” i

Farm Management in N. C. County
{ Farmers in the lower Piedmont
'area of the Appalachian mountain re
fgion will find some useful facts and
:>zlg§g(->ti(llls in the results of a farm
[ business analysis of about 300 farms
lin Catawba county, North Carolina,
t{for 1912 and 1918, by J. M. Johnson
fand E. D. Strait, and now published
fas department bulletin No. 1070 by
'the United States department of agri-
I culture. The description of the type of
I1'.':1‘*.111'11;: done in the county and the
[:m;d_\'&i.\ of the farming business is fol
lowed by suggested crop rotations
| considered most satisfactory for the
| county and other similar arcas.Q :
l General farming with live, stotk is
!cmnmon in the county, with cotton
the principal cash® crop. The other
Iprincipa] sources of income are cattle,
I‘swcet potatoes and wheat. The live
;gmck business has been losing ground
for the last 70 years, and from 1912
to 1918 the percentage ofs the total re
ceipts credited to” live stock decreased
from 24 to 22. At the end of the in
vestigation only about 9 per cent of
the tota! farm income was from dairy
cows, vet the county is sometimes
spoken of as a dairy district.
Crop rotations are not generally
practiced on the farms of this county
and most of those so far suggested
have serious defects of adaptation to
commercial agriculture. However, a*
sort of natural rotation extending over
a 4 long period and consisting principal
ly of cropping for many years and
then letting the land grow up to
broom sedge, bushes and pine has
been practiced on lands of only mod
erate fertility. As it has \vorko(E out,
the grandson has cleared up and farm

hife-time of the grandsire. These rest- |
Fire Losses Cost Every
Person in Terrell County
And U. S. $4.47 Yearly
Statistics Show That Most of Fires
Were Preventable. Property Valued
At $250,000,000 Added to Ash Heap.
The economic loss from' preventable
fires costs every man, woman and
child in Dgwson and Terrell county
and the United States $4.47 a year.
Every family of five persons pays a
tax of $22.35 te carelessness every
y. £ 4
twelve months. Besides the economic
losses by fire; which are high, the ioss
of life 1s still more appalling, 15,000
people having lost their lives last
year to say nothing of the injured and
maimed for life.
In Dawyson there is scarcely a week
that the newspaper does not carry
an account of some fire in which there
was a loss of property. A glance
through the newspaper files of the last
twelve months shows a number of
cas¢s whereby the reckless handling of
gasoline fires were started.
The national debt of the United
States is now expressed in eleven fig
ures. The amount of money represent
ed by its huge total of $23,000,000,000
is beyond the bounds of human com
prehension, If, however, we had start
ed forty vears ago to invest each year
at six per cent compound interest a
sum of money equivalent to its re
spective fire loss we would now have
a fund sufficient to wipe out our whole
national debt.
Fires Increase.
The amount placed to the credit of
this fund has increased each year. In
1921 the fre loss was six.times as
great as in 1881, although the popu
lat.ion was only twice as great as that
of " the earliest year.
To fully realize the extent of this
national fire waste it should be con
sidered ‘from an individuak and com
munity standpoint. In 1921 the per
capita fire loss was $4.47. At this rate,
the average loss to a community
would be over $llO,OOO for each 25,-
000 inhabitants. Such a sum of money
would assist materially in improving
streets, building schools or otherwise
bettering municipal conditions. When
on the other hand property valued at
that amount is destroyed by fire the
nation is a permanent loser, for fire
waste is an economic loss.
Property valued at more than $250,-
000,000 has been added to the nation’s
ash heap during the first eight months
of the current year. This sum alone
would have provided homes for 50,000
American workmen and their families.
The business man accustomed to
dealing with figmres will readily com
prehend, what a continuation of such
reckless destruction of property will
mean to the business interests of the
country. The individual should also
realize thgt this loss naturally increas
es the burden which he has to bear.
Until each citizen considers fire pre
vention as a personal problem requir
ing his own individual carefulness, the
elimination of fire waste can never be
realized and this unnecessarily eco
nomic loss will continue.
The' first week in October was set
aside as “Fire Prevention Week” and
an educative campaign was carried on
all over the United States. President
Harding issued a proclamation endors
ing the week and Gov. Hardwick did
likewise. Efforts was made to bring
to the attention of the people of the
United States the tcrribfi' losses each
vear and educate them togl)c more
careful.
No Seat Large Enough
For 216-Pound Pupil
The regret of Walter Winkley, of
Little Rock, Ark., over reopening of
school was turned to joy when h 2
found he would have a couple of days
oi fishing and swimming until a spe
cial chair could be constructed for
him. Walter is 16 years old, and
weighs 216 pounds. T. C. "Abbott,
school superintendent, tried to find
the" new pupil a seat, but all wére too
smalil, and an effort to fit Walter in
sidewise was likewise unsuccessful, so
a chair was ordered built to fit Wal
fer.
HOW BETTER THAN PILLS?
The question has been askdl: In
what way are Chamberlain’s Tablets
superior to the ordinary cathartic and
liver pills? Our answer is, they are
easier and more pleasant to take and
their effect is so gentle that one hard
ly realizes that it is produced by a
medicine. Then, they not only move
the bowels but improve the appetite
and strengthen the digestion.—adv.
ced fields have produced almost as
,goo'd crops as they did after the first
jclearing, proving that the system was
a good one. Several individual crop
rotations are suggested in the bulletin,
one of 5 years and the other 4 years.
The first consists of cotton, cotton,
corn, small grain and hay; the second
is cotton, cotton, corn and small
grain; the third, cotton, corn and
small grain; fourth, cotton, small
!grain and corn; fifth, cotton, cotton
fand small grain; and sixth, a lowland
{rotation of corn and oats.
* in considering the individual rota-
Iti()m it should be borne in mind that
'farms growing a high percentage ot
cotton have better incomes than farms
that have but a small percentage of
’thc land in this crop. When corn
| vields are above 30 bushels to the
acre the farms having more than 20
'pcr cent of their crop land in corn
'have better incomes than the others.
The farms having from 10 to 15 per
cent of their land in wheat and from
5 to 10 per cent in oats, especially
when the vields aré@ somewhat above
the average, have a maximum labor
income. The farms having a hay hfr
vest from 20 to 30 per cent or even
more of their lands are among the
more prosperous. A moderate acreage
of sWeet potatoes seems to increase
farm profits. Some of the crops that
do not appear in the outlines of rota
tions take up only a small acreage or
are grown as a second crop on the
same land that has been used earlier
in the season by some other crop.
Persons who are interested in a
thorough study of these rotations and
the farm business survey imay get a

culture, Washington, D. C.

Uncle Joe™ Cannon
Hits Same Trail He
Took When a Boy
Says Every Foot of the Way His
Heart Will Beat With Happiness
As He Thinks of His Past.
WASHINGLON, D.. GC-—"Uncle
Jo¢” Carnon dug mto his cedar chest
today for some woolen things he wil!
wear next week when he hits the same
trail westward to Illinois that he and
his parents took eighty-three years
ago in emigrating irom the hills of
North Carolitfa.
The early voyage westward was
made in an old prairie schooner, out
of the back of which Uncle Joe, then
barely four years old, watched the
shifting scenery and dreamed. Even
now, as he approaches ecighty-seven,
he remembers the nights he played
around the camp fires, the hardships
and the stars that peeked down at
him as he slept.
There was something that resem
bled a tear in the veteran's “cyes as
he recalled today his earliest recol
lections of that trying trip, but they
sparkled as he talked of his coming
trip over the sathe old pike—this time
in an automobile.
“After March 4, next, I will make
my last journey homeward as a mem
ber of the house,” said Uncle Joe.
“So my trip by mgtor, delayed and
delayed, will be made at this time, and
on every foot of the road my heart
will beat with happiness as I think of
the many honors that have d®me my
way. I have decided T had better go
now,-for March is a’long way off and
I am growing old.”
