POPULAR SCIENCE FOR OUR READERS—
They used to say that ‘money makes the mare go!
No longer true. Science makes the mare go.—
And money itseli also works for science now.
It in amazing how rapidly science has become
the rule of the world in the first two decades of
the 20th Century. To cap the climax, science,
far more than human hands, fought the greatest
war in history.
Science governs our lives nowadays from the
cradle to the grave. The most successful food
raising is governed largely by science. We raise
cur babies more scientifically. Our schools are
now scientifically run. Our homes are full of
scientific inventions, our tools of industry are
scientifically manufactured and our amusements
are marvels of science. _
This prelude is to introduce our readers to a
new enterprise which this newspaper is about to
present to its readers as a regular feature of our
news columns. Through our representative, the
Autocaster service, we have made special arrange- |
ments with POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY, |
one of the country’s leading informative m:lga-f
zines, to print simultaneously with that journal,
illustrated features of the latest and most interest
tng facts in current science. -
POPULAR SCIENCE is a careful and accur
ate collector of scientific news of the highest in
terest, and it pays thousands of dollars a month
for the features that this newspaper has arranged
to print simultancously with it. Our readers will
now share with POPULAR SCIENCE readers
in these interesting, entertaining and education
al features. ?
THE NEW GERMANY—Republican Germany
cries aloud to the world that it is not a leopard
and that its unnatural imperialistic spots have
been washed out by blood. Instead of spotted fur
it now wears fleece.
Americans returning from Berlin and other
German cities say the German people are parading
passionately carrying ianners inscribed: “Nie wi
cder Krieg”—"Never Again War,”
Chancellor Wirth says in a speech at Brennen:
We are done with the theory of might. If indeed
there still be some who feel that might is every
thing, let them turn to what Korfanty is doing in
Poiand, and I am convinced they will see what the
application of might, of brute force, leads to. With
such we are through. And coincident with this
decision, reassuring voices are beginning to he
heard across the Channel, the Atlantic, and “the
Vosges. Deaf is the man who cannot hear Eng
land and America and France speaking out today
in the interests of a broader reconciliation with
us. We must heed them, and the only way to
heed them is to fulfill every obligation to the peo
ples from which they come.”
The obvious retort to such a speech is the sneer
of unbelief. But is it consistent with American
tradition and principles to make such a retort?
This nation has never played an ignoble part to
ward a defeated adversary. - It will not now crack
the whip of scorn at the outstretched arms of -a
people pledging atonement. It will not wave
the bloody shirt, lest its own hands be soiled.
But as Germany follows her painful path up
ward, she should remember that it is her deeds
that count. The world wants to be sure that her
people realize how they were betrayed by the
Kaiser and his co-conspirators, that they realize
the enormity of the crime against civilization
which these men wrought by corrupting a whole
ration. The world wants to be sure that ‘all Ger
man people have learned a lesson from the war
into which they were plunged by the mad ambi
tions of a generation of would-be-supermen.—The
American Legion Weekly,
VALUE OF ADVERTISING WHEN TIMES
ARE DULL—The Mining Congress Journal has
many sensible things to say about advertising,
which is nothing more or less than letting people
know what one wishes them to know about that
he has to sell. Tt is the same with reference to an
idea as to a community, :
Of the wide-awake business man the Journal
says:
“He knows that business will never go complet
ly to the dogs and that the advertiser who keeps
his wares constantly before the public will get
the bulk of the business during the stringency and
have every advantage over the non-advertisers
when prosperity returns.”—Birmingham Age-
Hrald.

Have you noticed that Dauber has changed his
style of painting lately? From his former metic
ulous method he has turned to a sort of slapdash
impressionism.” “Yes, It's the Influence ‘of golf,

BABY FACES -
I love the baby faces
That I sece most every day,
As I trudge along, half-hearted
In my narrow, stubborn way ;
When the world seems cold and selfish,
With a cloud in every place,—
O, it turns my soul to sunshine
When | meet a baby face.
When | spy the little go-cart
And the darling that it bears,
The glimpse I catch in passing
Softens down the sternest cares;
Yes, that ugly frown relaxes,
And a smile will take its place
At the magic intervention
Of a happy baby’s face.
[ love each little wanderer "
More than he can ever know, -
For he recalls a baby-face
A hat cheered me, long agso . . .
[ recall the childish prattle :
As he perched upon my knee,—
But shucks! he's over thirty now,
An‘ thinks he’s bigger'n me,
WHY SHOULD PIRATES AND PIKERS FIX
THE PRICE OF OUR COTTON?—The price
of middling cotton delivered in Atlanta Wednes
day was 19.25 cents per pound. On the next day
the price was 1 cent less¥that is 18.25 cents per
pound.
On Friday the price was back at 19.25 cents per
pound. The prices throughout the United Statcs§
from New York to Gaalveston, showed parallel
fluctuations?
In short the farmers of the South who found it
necessary to sell’ their cotton on Thursday werc
penalized 1 cent per pound—s3s.oo a bale.
Whyr o ¢ g
Why, merely because a lot of gamblers—people
buying cotton they didn‘t want and selling cotton
they didn't have-—had created a ‘technical condi
tion’, and the futures dropped something more
than 200 points.
y Why, in the name of decent, honest citizenship.
should the farmers of Georgia and the rest of the
South be swindled in any such manner as this be
cause of the lust for unearned money by a lot of
professional gamblers and half-witted suckers?
Why should cotton, an industry which consti
tutes the very backbone of existence in our great
and beloved section, be a football kicked about by
a bunch of able but unprincipled manipulators on
one side and a horde of idiotic pikers on the other
side? !
Isn't it time to call a halt on this sort of thing?
Isn't it time to put the producing and selling of
cotton on a businéss basis? e
[sn‘t it time for the farmer to declare his inde 1
pendence of this gang of pirates and pikers and tc
organize and sell cotton as Judge Gary sell§ stee’
or Fuller Callaway sells cloth or Sam Jones sells’
stoves or J. K. Orr sells shoes?
Imagine if you can those gentlemen permitting
a lot of toddle-top spinners saying to them, your
steel billett or your bolt of cloth or your stove or
your case of shoes was worth §95 Wednesday and
is worth §95 today, but was worth only $9O yes
terday.
Yes, that is what the farmers of the South have
been permitting the pirates and the pikers.gamb
ling in Gravier Street, New Orleans and Wall
Street, New York, to say to them for 50 years!
Isn’t it time to stop it?
The Georgian and American is not so absurr as
to say the New York and New Orleans Cotton Ex
changes should be closed by law. To legislate
those exchanges out of existence would leave the
Southern farmer in a worse fix.than ever. We
are not so witless as to say speculation in cotton
~should be banned, because we know very well it
can’t be done. ? ;
But the Georgian and Americangdoes know that
the cotton farmer can remove his product from
the zone of the speculation and put it in the realm
of business where the petty gambler and the able
manipulator can’t touch it.
How?
By organizing under the Sapiro plan and sell
ing his cotton just as the peach growers of Geor
ela sell their Elbertas, just as the watermelon
growers of Southwest Georgia this year sold their
Tom Watsons, just as the orange and lemon grow
ers of Florida and California sell their fruit—
On a business basis, where supply and demand
meet with clean hands and honest purposes and
transact business like merchants and gentlemen.

nearest member of the organization committee of
the Georgia Cotton Growers’ Cooperative Associ

Let's put Georgia over, just as they have done
in Texas and Oklahoma and Mississippi and Ar

N\ Sign up: Let's abolish the pirates and the pik
ers. Let's <ell our cotton like merchants, not

in Post assembled, we do herewith
!tender our earnest and sincere thanks
'to Guy C. Johnstone and his noble
wife for their never_failing care for
our departed Comrade Lewis Thayer,
in his last sickness and death as we
saw the gentle touch.of a loving hand
on his burning brow and the cooling
water to his parched Yips we could not
ibut think—could a daughter do more?
As we viewed his tender care the
words of otur master were often in
our minds: I was naked and ye clothed
me, hungry and ye fed me, sick and
in prison and ye administered unto
me as oft as ye have done it unto the
least of these, ye have done it unto
me. May God’s richest blessings ever

is in additicn to the movement of
10,000 cars of Georgia peaches, and
thousands of other cars of small
fruits and vegetables under ice,
from the Carolinas and Virginia.
In brder to insure a sufficient and
regular supply of ice for these cars,
huge new ice manufacturing plants
have recently been built at Jaclison
ville, Miami, Haines City and Lake
land, Florida, and large modern ice
plants also have Tfeen constructed in
the Carolinas and Virginia.
The volume of shipments undeg
refrigeration out of Florida alone,
last year, was six times that of nine
years agoe, and twice that of two
years ago, indicating the importance
of the question for the future both.
to producers and consumers.
In the near future the transporta
tion companies will make an effort
to have the Commission throw the
light of publicity on the actual op
erations and all the costs involved
in protecting the products of South
ern fruit and vegetable growers
from their farms and plantations to
the tables of consumers in the
North.
