Inderinflated Tires Are
Proving Popular Here
awson Dealer Has a Growing De
mand for Dayton Cords.
“It is a wonderful thing,” said Mr.
[athis, ~manager. of Locke-Mathis
Motor Co., local Dayton tire dealer,
that the Dayton Rubber Mig. Com
any has done for the comfort and
onvenience of motorists. As long as I
an remember, everybody has wanted
ires that they could ride on underin
ited, without damaging the tires, of
urse. Now they have them in Day
ton Thorobred Cords, and Daytons
ire cuaranteed just the same as ever.”
Mr. Mathis is very proud of the
product he is selling. There can be no
doubt but that a great deal of atten
pon has been attracted to his place of
business by the remarkable announce
ment that Dayton Thorobred Cords
arc <0 constructed as to require much
lOwer air pressures than other pneu
“Naturally,” said Mr. Mathis, “when
bou don’t put so ‘much, air in ' tires
they ride a lot easier; they protect
four car from. wvibration .and road
focks: they materially reduce upkeep
i air bills; they are not nearly
ho v to skid and puncture—and,
t re Dayton Cords, the only
res actually .built to be run underin
fated, there is no sacrifice in 'mileage.
tter of fact Dayton Cords are
Nade to give maximum service un
ler what would ordinarily be termed
it worst of riding conditions.”

Negroes Drifting to Northern States
Will Help Increase Prices of Cotton
A year ago or so congress passed a’
law authorizing various nationalities
to“enter this country at a rate not to
exceed 3 per cent per annum of the
total of such nationality in America
at the time of the census of 1910. The
object and effect of this was and has
been to exclude many thousands of
southern and eastern Europeans—peo
ples different from us in ideals and
standards of living and difficult of as
similation. At the same time the law,
as intended, has encouraged the en
trance of North Europeans—peoples
closely akin racially to us, familiar
with our form of government, and
quickly assimilable.
A measure now before congress,
and which seems to have a good
chance of passage, would cut the per
centage to 2, based upon the 1890
census, thus still more closely barring
the door to undesirables. It is stated
that under the present law we are get
ting about 350,000 immigrants a year,
and that the new measure would give
us about 168,000 a year, Compare this
with the million or more a year we
were getting a few years ago, and it
will be seen how drastic the cut has
been and will be.
For one, I favor excluding every
foreigner who has not in him the
makings of a good citizen. We have
too many “reds” already. I shall ask
my representative in congress to vote
for the restrictive measure now pro
posed, because I believe we need
quality in citizenship, rather than
quantity,
Negroes Go North.
I believe that such measures are to
be permanently in force hereafter, and
that they are bound to have a pro
found effect upon industry and agri
culture, in the south particularly.
When we were getting a million im
migrants a year most of them went
into the great industries of the north
and west. This great stream has now
been dammed back, northern indus
triial centers are needing labor, and
in order to get it their pull of high
wages is steadily taking negroes out
of the south.
.
PLANTS SHOULD BE KEPT
FREE OF GRASS AND WEEDS
AND WORKED IN SUMMER.
After the strawberries have been
harvested the beds should be cultivat
ed cleann throughout the summer, the
runners removed and the soil grad
ually worked towards the crown. If
the bed is allowed to grow up in grass
and weeds during the summer only
a partial crop of inferior berries will
be produced the following spring, for
the. strawberry produces the bloom
buds in embryo form in the late sum
mer and fall and it is necessary, the
horticulturists remind us, that the
plants be kept in perfect condition
during this Pperiod.
The strawberry bed should be fer
tilized in September with about 600
pounds of an 8-4-4 fertilizer per acre.
This will encourage growth during
the fall months and have the plants
go into winter quarters with ample
foliage to protect them from the cold
during the winter. Care should be ta
ken not to apply the fertilizer too iate
in the falk or to use too heavy appli
cation of nitrogenous fertilizers.
ARE ONLY TWENTY WITH IN
COMES OVER A MILLION IN
1921. FEWER RETURNS.
The ranks of American millionaire
taxpavers continue to grow thinner,
according to statistics of income for
1921, made public by the internal rev
enue bureau, which show that of the
6.662.176 firms and individuals filing
returns for 1921 only twenty-one had
incomes exceeding one million dol
lars. This represents a decrease of
twelve from the number recéiving
million-dollar incomes in 1920 and
compares with 65 in 1919; 67 in 1918;
141 in 1917, and with 206 in 1916, the
highest since the income tax laws be
came operative.
There was a falling off also in the
total number of returns filed for 1921
from 7.259.944 filed for 1920, but for
1921 the total was greater by nearly 1,-
330.000 than that for 1919. Indications
already have been given that final
computation of returns for 1922 will
show another drop in the total as com
pared with the high mark of 1920.
Taxes aggregating $719,387,100 were
collected on the more than six and a
half million returns, an average of
$107.89 per return. The income from
which the taxes were drawn aggre
gated $19,212,528, the average net in
come per return amounting to $2,-
938.56.
On the basis of the 1920 census,
however, the income tax payments for
1921 would allow each person in the
United States a net income of only
$187.65 and would result in the pay
ment of only $6.79 per person. Only
6.28 per cent of the population paid
income taxes while for the previous
year 6.85 per cent of the population
received income sufficient to require
the filing of returns.

From the Progressive Farmer.
For 50 years the men who have
grown cotton, white and black, have
been underpaid. This has been so be
cause millions of laborers from Eu
rope kept the northern industries sup
plied, and there was no outlet for ourl
underpaid surplus of labor. So it wasl
either make cotton at starvation|
wages or starve. Distance, lack of
communication and a total ignorancel
of the higher wages in the north also
served to keep negroes in the south.‘
High wages during war time brokei
the jam at last, and hundreds of
thousands of negroes went north. This
stream continues steadily, and will
continue, it seems to me, until wages
and living conditions, rural and urban,
north and south, are on something like
'a parity. :
| Cheap Labor Gone.
The ultimate effect of all this, it ap-'
pears to me, is going to be to the im
measurable benefit of the cotton-grow
ing south. Our cheap labor is going
to be cheap no longer; it has learned
where the high wages are, and it is
going to get them. If cotton produc
tion cannot pay these higher wages,
then enough producers are going else
where to an extent that will automat
ically decrease production and in
crease prices.
If we have a race problem, it, too,
is going to be simplified by the opera
tion of these influences. There is
bound to be a diffusion of negroes
over the United States, wider by far
than ever before. The black south will
grow whiter, the white north blacker.
There has been and will be com
plaint at our loss of negro labor, pos
sibly some sections and individuals
will be temporarily hurt by it. Man
ufacturing and industrial centers have
been and will be clamoring for a
| modification of the immigration re
strictions. But, amid all this, it will
’l)e well for us to remember that
America has already come dangerous
| Iy near to letting in more perverted
thinking foreigners than she can ever
assimilate. The proposed further re
strictions will benefit the whole na
tion, and the cotton belt in particular.
HALF WORLD’S WOES
“FIGHTING AGAINST MEN” AS
SAILED BY NOTED BRITON.
ENVY IS CHARGED.
LONDON.—HaIf the miseries of
the western world are caused by wo
men fighting against men, declared
Dr. Josiah Oldfield, the British physi
cian, lawyer and author, in a recent
lLondon address.
In spite of countless ages of experi
ence, the doctor added, women had
failed #to excel even in cooking, yet
they set up as competitors of men in
all walks of life, “Far more homes are
made miserable by envious women,”
he said, “than by dominant or brutal
men.”
“Tinklers On Mandolin.”
“Women,” continued Dr. Oldfield,
“have been ‘tinklers’ on the mandolin
and piano through all the ages, but it
is among men that the creative musi
cians are found.”
In the sphere of art also Dr. Old
field said that although women had
been busy painting their lips and faces,
their nails and eyelashes for countless
ages, if one sought paintings which
would create emotions of the higher
and best character for all time one
has to go to paintings done by men.
Imitative Only, He Says.
“Women are imitative and not crea
tive,” said the English critic. “If
search is made in Westminster Abbey
for records of the great women of
England one will find a few actresses
and courtesans, but none who were
worthy of being commemorated as
poets, mpainters, sculptors, inventors,
world pioneers or world benefactors.”
Having charged women with neg
lecting the most sacred duties of
motherhood and with having selected
the doubtful pleasures of politics and
public life in place of it, Dr. Oldfield
concluded by saying that men were
superior and should be reverenced, and
until, women were taught to become
affectionate junior comrades in the
co-partnership of the sexes * there
would be no peace in life.
Peanut Is the Latest
Favorite With Londoners
Britishers Eat Them Unroasted and
Don't Know the Difference. Sold
Everywhere Now.
American visitors in London during
the unprecedented hot spell last week
found no difficulty in gbtaining ice
cream or cooling beverages, says the
New York Herald. Most of the big
stores have now installed soda foun
tains and one big catering firm man
ufactures 25,000 gallons of ice cream
daily. _\
A few years ago it was only at
places frequented by Americans that
there was any call for ice cream and
iced drinks, but now the ice cream
habit has taken hold on the British
metropolis to an amazing extemnt,
The latest American favorite to
spring into popularity “here, however,
is the peanut. Formerly the taste for
these was never so pronounced here,
but some enterprising importer has
brought large quantities to London
lately, and they are being sold in the
street, in the Strand, Fleet street and
other crowded thoroughfares.
Americans seem to shun them, but
there is a reason. The peanuts are
sold here unroasted, as tourists have
found out after taking a large pack
age to their hotel for a real peanut
party. The Briton, however, is eating
them raw and does not seem to know
that thev should be eaten otherwise.
Now that the peanut has come to
stay theé American colony has hopes
that “hot. dogs” and corn on the cob
also will make their appearance soon.

EUROPE ARMS AGAIN;
’
SMALL NATIONS, FORMED BY
WORLD WAR, INVESTING
IN ARMED FORCES. )
The new states in Europe, createdl
by the war, ‘have increased the armed
forces on the continent to a greater|
number than in 1913, according to|
figures recently gathered by European |
experts. The strength of the standing|
armies of Europe in 1913 was 3,747,179 |
men. In 1922 the strength was 4,354,-!
965. .
Small Nations Blamed. l
This increase of 607,786, despite the |
compulsory reduction of 696,135 men
in the standing armies of Germany.!
Hungary and Bulgaria, may be laid
almost entirely to the small countricsl
which have adopted the policy ofl
maintaining large bodies of armed
men.
Great DBritain has greatly reduced
her navy, while the army estimates
for 1923-24 provide for a reduction
which brings the total below the 19131
figures. Italy, with a greatly increas
ed land frontier, reduced her forces‘
in 1922 by 80,300, as compared withl
1913.
France Plans More Cuts. |
The stapding army of France in%
1922 numbered 736,261 men, against
760,439 in 1913, a reduction of 24,178,
The French estimates for 1923 pro
vide for a reduction to an establish
ment of 690,000. So it may readily be
‘seen that the leading powers are not
responsible for the increased armies
‘in Europe.
In the days before the war Italy
‘was regarded as a great military pow
er. Today the standing armies of Po
land and Rumania are larger than the
standing army of Italy.
People Must Pay.
The burden of military service and
ithe taxation for the army upkeep falls
upon the people of the new states far
Lmore heavily today, when they have
obtained their freedom, than it did
when they were under the rule of the
lczar, the kaiser and the Austrian em
peror.
In the days when the territory which
is now Czecho-Slovakia was govern
ed from Vienna it contributed to the
standing army of Austria a quota of
73.000 men. Today. Czecho-Slovakia
maintains an army of 160,000 men.
' Finland Increases Army.
The territory of the new Poland
was before the war partly under Ger
man, partly under Austrian and part
l])’ under Russian rule. It then found
190,000 men for the standing armies
lof those three great military powers.
Today Poland has a standing army
of 275.000 men. Finland, before the
war, provided 30,000 men for the
army of the czar; she now has an
larmy of 120,000.
; The standing armies of the three
| great European powers—Great Brit
| ain, France and [taly—today number
1 1,099.047 men, and those of the re
| maining states of Europe 3,255918.

i In olden times it was believed that

DECATUR, Ga.—Sweeping recom
mendations against the present wide
spread practice of getting up public
petitions to secure pardons or paroles
for convicted criminals are embodied
in the presentments of the DeKalb
county .grand jury. Regarding this
practice, the presentments say:
“It is a common practice for public
petitions to be sent to the governor,
the parole board, the prison commis
sion and the courts to secure pardons
or paroles for those who have been
ocnvicted of crime, |
“It is our opinion that in the ma
jority of cases these petitions are]
backed only by' misguided, sympa
thetic people who have no knowledge
of the facts in the cases. These peti
tions clog the machinery of the courts
and are undesirable. We, therefore,
condemn the practice and recommend
that the law be allowed to take its
course in all criminal cases unless
new evidence that has not been offer
ed before is discovered.” |
United States has spent between
fifteen and twenty billion dollars for
autos and trucks in the last fifteen
years.
