Augusta Chronicle.
Bankers of the South are to wake
an organized campaign for diversified
farming next year. A meeting to
be held In New Orleans the first week
In December has been announced for
the expressed purpose of formulating
regulations for loaning money and
Mr. Joseph Hirsch of Corpus Christ!,
chairman of the conference, declares
he and his comm'ttee are hopeful
that Southern bankers will take a
firm stand and base their credits for
next year upon absolute agreements
to plant specified acreage in feed
and home needed crops.
This savors of compulsory education
and undoubtedly it will have a
salutary effect if enforced. The
banks aro great factors in the development
of cities and tlicy can play
equally as important parts in rural
advancement if they will settle upon
a policy of improvement and development.
Opinions may vary as to
wmch is the best method to pursue,
but everybody will agree that something
should be done to promote the
very cause the bankers now manifest
such interest in.
The New Orleans diversification
meeting will be addressed by W. P.
O. Harding, chairman of the federal
reserve board; Bradford Knapp, head
of the states' relations service, of the
department of agriculture, and other
prominent agriculturalists and bankera.
They eafpect to impress the entire
country with the necessity of
promulgating some plan whereby the
average farmer may be saved from
himself. Of course, there is going
to be considerable opposition, some
among bankers, but more from supply
men and the farmers themselves,
for the plan savors of features undesirable
to many who would be affected
by It.
The banks and the big business
men are the logical forces to get behind
an undertaking of this kind, for
nothing short of the federal government's
specific acts have produced
satisfactory results in advancing the
agricultural interests, the cattle tick
eradication regulations being an example
of what wonderful good can be
accomplished by the plan presented.
The question of advancing money on
stipulated agreement as to crops to
be planted will be a perplexing one.
A farmer may plant and yet fail to
properly prepare the soil, fail to cultivate
the crop and lack many other
essentials necessary to insure success.
But the move is in the right direction.
It directs thought into chan
nels that have hereto!ore been allowed
to lapse into disuse.
It would be a good thing for the
bankers throughout Georgia and
Carolina to take up this movement
on a two-fold plan. There is no
question but that hanks 3uffer, and
individuals who pay, contribute to
the delinquency of others. An educational
propaganda which would
send, or assist, in sending men into
the fields to advise and help the farmers
overcome obstacles arising under
new conditions, and then follow
v/ith the plan of loaning money only
to farmers who grow a specified
amount of home needed crops, would
prove highly desirable.
Unless the banks and the business
men demonstrate their interest in the
vital questions, demonstrating that
they believe the progress of tho city
and community involved ia at stake,
how cau one expect a farmer, who
has no adequate facilities for gathering
Information, to become cognizant
of conditions? If the business
men and financiers manifest anxiety
and give consideration to thu subject
the farmers and others concerned
will become Imbued with their earnestness
and give thought, time and
effort to any movement looking toward
overoming the troubles arising
through hanging condlflotj, affecting
every lino of business in commerce,
agriculture and Industry.

"In our opinion one thing wrong

"Do they not realize the impori

they expect the teachers to keep up

trying to remedy this evil.

The suggestion that boys and girls

The boosting habit is distinctly
American. It has developed into a
i fine art or into a deadly disease, the
point of view depending on whether
i some artistic manipulator who feeds
upon a diet of Kast wind has boosted
dollars into your purse or boosted 1
them out. If you have been victimiz- j
i ed, it is, of course, a disease to be:
classed with typhus fever and the
bubonic plague. If you have been the,
beneficiary of the hot air man and
i have had your name entered on the
' honorary list of income tax payers I
as a result of his windjamming, you '
cannot be blamed for swelling your [
chest and speaking of it as the su-'
preme accomplishment in human art j
and endeavor.
There is no middle ground in the !
art?or the disease?of boosting. It
is either upward or downward. Per-'
i haps It would be nearer the truth to ;
1 say that it Is all upward?at first. A !
skyrocket goes up, up, up, leaving a i
trail of glory in Its wake, but it can-1
not manage to stay up very long. The 1
brilliance fades all at once, there is
a spurt of blue smoke, then the rocket
turns tail and comes scooting to earth
leaving nothing in niomorv <>f ?t<i
night but a lingering and unpleasant
smell.
The hurtful booster is a human sky
rocket. Ho goes up In a blaze of
glory and comes down with an expiring
sigh like the gurgle of a bath
tub. He springs up like the hopper1
grass and is cut down like the pop-1
per grass. He is a big man while
he lasts, but when he quits lasting
he has about as many friends and admirers
as an Armenian at the court
of the Sultan of Turkey.
The true booster Is like a lark?If
I he refrains from going on one. He j
i rises with a song on his lips, and
when he gets up he stays up as long
as he wants. When he comes down, it
is only for the purpose of giving fresh
courage to others before he takes another
flight. He knows where to find
solid earth, and he keeps one good
eye on It while the other Is looking
up into the blue sky of higher and
better achievement.
Cities are built by boosters who
emulate tho skylark typo and not the
skyrocket example. Solid boosting is
the modern architect and builder of
a city that abides, but foolish boosting
is a blast of wind that will cause
the walls of any modern Jericho to
fall in ruins.

THE LANCASTER NEWS,
A GIANT CHRYSANTHEMUM.
I
Special Train "nrrles K to Cleveland ,
Ohio, Show?17 Feet in Diameter.
New York World, Oct 22nd.
Carried by a special train, the
largest single chrysanthemum plant
ever transported by rail In this or ;
any other country will start on November
5 from Ardsley, N. Y., for ,
Cleveland.
It will be exhibited there at the
flower show to be held in conjunction
with the annual exhibition of
the Chrysanthemum Society of Amer- I
lea. ,
This plant, which is now on the ,
estate of Adolph Lewisohn at Ardsley,
is second in size only to one in
he possession of the Emperor of
Janan. the home of i>lirv??inh?mnm.
It is 17 feet in diameter, only six [ ,
inches less than the Mikado's largest
plant. t
Several years ago Mr. Lewishon
conceived the idea of producir.3 a (
chrysanthemum plant which would 1
rival the largest in the world. He
consulted J. W. H. Campbell, foreman
of the Ardsley green houses,
and John Canning, superintendent of
the estate.
As a result there are today two 1
marvelolous plants in the green 1
houses, one the yellow chrysanthe- |
mum, which will bo sent to Cleveland,
the other a variety called |
'Wells's Late Pink," which is six i
foc-t high and fourteen feet nine inch- 1 1
r s across. 1
Mr. Lewislion's exhibits at the ,
New York (lower shows have been ,
famous for years, but the great size '
of the chrysanthemum plant has
prevented the'r being shown in dis- 1
tant cities. This year Mr. M. Vin- (
son, secretary of the Cleveland
Flower Show, decided that he would
have one of the big chrysanthemums.
He obtained from the New <
York Central Railroad what is called
a "pit car," and after planning (
with railroad men it was decided that
if Mr. Lewlshon would consent tc
reduce the size of the plant by 12
inches the railroad would undertake
Its transportation.
To make the trip possible the
chrysanthemum will be placed on its
side on a specially constructed frame.
This will be revolved by a mechanical
device which will prevent the
lower leaves from being crushed during
transit. The whole plant will be
covered with glass. J. W. H. Campbell
of Ardsley and an assistant will
accompany the chrysanthemum on its 1
journey.
On arrival in Cleveland the great
plnnt will be placed on a motor truck I
and will be driven through the prln-j
cipal streets of the city, escorted by j

Today Andrew Carnegie is 80
years old. On Sunday Hetty Green
was 81. The birthdays of both were
observed with special exercises inj
elow York and Pittsburg, descriptions
of which were heralded and J
read from one end of the country to J
the other. In the midst of the stress |
of a world conflict, with a political
crisis just passed and another not
far away, with a great harvest to'
market, with the meeting of Congress
not far distant, and with the innumerable
concerns, big and little, that
lill the lives of humanity from day
lu nay, we nacl time to stop and read
of the quiet birthdays of two unique f,
and unusual old people, who ar'
neither distinguished scholars, cele
hrated statesmen, poets, or scientists,: y
hut mainly typical Americans. ?
For a long time the American national
hero was the plutocrat. Fit- v
c-rary genius, military progress, poli- a
Ileal wisdom, creative activity, all
were loss in our eyes than the virtues
of our "captains of industry,*"
[Mir millionaires, our magnates, and n
our money kings. Their sayings audi
iloings, their personal appearances ?
;uul eccentricities furnished larger
topics for journalistic descriptions r
and discussions than did ever those
of our men of letters and statesmen.
Now the public lias lost most of its
interest in plutocrats and is interested
in broader social problems. Now
we hear more of the sufliragists than
of the Vanderbilts, more of child labor
than of the llarrimans, more of
prohibition than of the Astors, Henry
Ford, our newest plutocrat, is scarcely
more prominent now than Jess
Willard.
The dignified respect that the public
pays to Andrew Carnegie and
Hetty Green, however, still lives.
Both of these very wealthy people
possess more than money. They
have good taste, abiding common
sense and level headedness far beyond
that alloted to most of their
kind. Both have had enormous power
through the money that they possessed.
It was theirs to us foolishly,
recklessly and harmfully, or constructively,
helpfully and wisely.,
Mr. Carnegie could have spent millions
imitating the Phiraohs, building
pyramids ami sphinx in honor of
himself, which would have been
utter waste. Instead h 1 spent a
large part of l,is monpv in t?n 1
public libraries, founding collect
and universities and In promoting
various other worth while philanthropies.
Hetty Green could liavi
spent millions in purchasing all ot
the goods at every bargain sale.
which, too, would have been utter
waste. Orphanages, asylums, homes
for working girls, and model ter.e- i
ments were her investments instead. .
It is to be hoped, of course, that we
will not have as many plutocrats in
future as we have had in the pa*t. but 1 ;
the country can have no very useful j
complaint against Hetty and An- ;
drew. I ;
