SMALL BILLS SAID

FOOD FOR REFLECTION
The newspaper is the srreat educa-1 they mdst have
tor of the masses today. Where one
reads a two dollar book, five thousand
read the five cent daily. Since this is
true, the .editor should spend a gooji
deal of time on his knees, it seems to
me, with his mind fixed on the Giver
of all good; none the less should the
contributor for the newspaper wrestle
prayer; if the blind lead the blind

Washington, Sept. 23.—An assertion

in
both shall fall in the ditch.
I go to my newspaper every day for
information—for counsel. Such of it
as I don’t like, I don’t take. Since hu
manity is pretty much the same the
world over, I assume that you do the
same.
I am interested in the legislative
problem of reapportioning the states
for the purpose of securing better rep
resentative government; I am not in
terested in the kind of hosiery worn
by the king of Siam or the sultan of
Turkey.
Which leads me to the thought: If
our daily newspapers were shorn of
much that is merest rubbish, there
would be less volume, but more that
is useful to our people. . . The Sunday
edition might be cut almost in half!
“0,” some one says, “we are not all
alike; some want to know about the
king of Siam—the sultan of Turkey;
Sunday reading.” I
grant it. But our aim, it seems to me,
should not be to kill time, but to store
our minds with useful information.
There would be a better world if there
were no prize-fighters in it; there
w’ould be a more useful citizenry if
men and women busied their minds
with things calculated to make the
world better.
I’d rather study business, or even
politics^ on Sunday, than possible
championships in utterly useless occu
pations. Life is too short to waste val
uable time in worthless things.
I like my paper to contain, first of
all, news. Next, such leisure reading
as cannot fail to be instructive to me
in things calculated to elevate and up
lift a frail or faltering humanity.

issuance of the new currency by the
treasury. He contends the small notes
are poorly made, and therefore csiily
counterfeited.
Hill recommended that the small
money be withdrawn from circulation
to prevent the country being flooded
with bogus notes, thus offsetting the
saving the government makes in sub
stituting bills one-third smaller than
the old issue.
While only one case of counterfeit
ing ^the new currency has been report
ed to the treasury secret service to
date, it was learned.that hundreds of
i people from every section of the coun
try have written to Secretary Mellon
protesting the change in money sizes.
Writers contend the smaller notes
cause confusion and errors and that
the larger bills were easily handled.
Hill wrote the committee the new
“flivver” sized bills were the “poor
est, confessedly the cheapest and with
out doubt the most dangerous issue of
United States currency in history.” He
predicted public opinion would require
its withdrawal from circulation.
“To produce greater quantity and
quality of a given article for the same
or less cost is evidence of economy and
efficiency, but to produce one-third
more by merely reducing its sizes is an
expediency that to be justified must
wholly depend upon its equality in val
ues as a substitute, which in this case
is woefully lacking,” he said.
“It is true that through the changes
I made in the issue of notes the sum of
j $1,500,000 will be saved annually in the
! bureau, under present estimates the
i government or, in other words, the
; public benefits by this saving.
“But is it worth w'hile to save this
amount to be lost through making the
way easier for the counterfeiter? If
you have in your possession a $10 i-i
counterfeit bill it is a dead loss, as the ■ [|
government does not insure against
that nor will it think of refunding*^he
good money or the value of goods
which you gave when you took this
bad bill.”
Blease made the statements while
speaking in opposition to a committee
amendment to the tariff bill to elimi
nate A-house provision to extend the
liability to owners of vessels for un
manifested smoking opium found on
board.
BIpase said the cases of four per
sons suspected of narcotic law viola
tions were presented to the grand
jury for action here last July and
that no action has yet been taken.
There was reason to believe, he add
ed, that some higher up was prevent
ing grand jury action.
Senator Heflin, Democrat, Ala
bama, also spoke against the senate
amendment, saying the traffic in nar
cotics was “running into hundreds of
millions of dollars.”
“The idea that a senator wants to
relieve a ship owner and fine only the
master is something I cannot under
stand,” Heflin said, adding that the
Dollar line had been fined forty-odd
times, but had most of the fines re
mitted.
The reason the law is not enforced,
he charged, was that “officers hold
their hands behind them and accept j
fees from the smugglers.”

Notes
C. B. Cannon, County .4gent
a
Fall (irain and Winter ('over Crop
Due to dry weather damaging the
corn crop of this county, it is wise for
farmers to meet the situation by
planting oats, wheat or barley for
feed. Laurens county’s production of
grain has been greatly reduced by not
seeding the grain early enough. I
would advise all farmers who can
possibly seed their fall grain to do so |
at once, or at least by the 15th of Oc
tober. If you will study the experi
ment data you will find that the great
est yield is produced when grain is
Sown at the proper time.
By all means treat your seed oats
' for smut this time. VV'onderful results
I have been received from last year’s
I smut treatment. The treatment is sim-
j pie by using formaldehyde. If possible
j fan, or sepatate your grain before
' treating, to rid the grain of small- in
ferior seed. Spread your grain on a
floor, wagon body or hard surface in ;
' the yard, and mix at the rate of one!
pint of formaldehyde to 10 gallons of
water, which is enough to treat 75 to
: 80 bushels of grain. Sprinkle thi.s mix-;
ture over your grain as soon as pos-!
sible, and stir thoroughly. .After thor- |
oughly- stirring, pile the grain in a:
!pile similar to that of a potato hill and
I cover with .sacks, bagging or canvas, i
, that has had no grain in it and let re-,
main for two hours. The gas of the'
formaldehjk'de is what kills the smut. I
At the end of two hours the grain is ^
ready for drilling. If the grain can;
not be used at the end of two. hours I
' by all means uncover the pile and!
; spread in a thin layer, in order to let’
I the gas escape from the oats. Wheat
' may be treated the same way. The
' formaldehyde may be bought at any
I drug store. For small amounts of seed
1 to be treated, use proportionately of
above mixture.
I Quite a bit of interest has been
I shown in the use ,of winter peas and
cover crops this year. Outstanding re- i
suits on crops are being shown fol-1
lowing the Austrian pea last year, but!
due to the high price of the pea, and |
the scarcity, it is out of the question
to buy them, as they are $15.00 per
100, f. 0. b. shipping point. The short-j
age and high price is due to the fail
ure of the pea crop in Europe. I
would suggest that you use hairy
vetch, or Crimson clover for hay, or
for green manure. For hay, use 12 to
15 pounds of hairy vetch with 2 bush
els cf oats ,drilled. For cover crop, use
i20 to 25 pounds per acre. For crimson
clover, 12 to 15 pounds to 2 bushels of
I oats, drilled, or for cover crop, 20
I pounds. All legume crops should be In-
i oculated when planted unless growing | In
on the same land where the crops Q
grew last year. Vetch seed is quoted Tl
at $lU.4S deliv'ered. Clover at $13.90: II
delivered, per 100. These‘^prices arej 7]
aubject to change at any time. ' *“
