I CONGRESS TURNS TO NEWSPAPERS !" Washington, Dec. 15.?Provisions | of the Anthony bill which would | limit to 24 . page? daily newspapers j and periodicals using the second I class mail privilege in order to con-j serve newsprint paper were com-i mended and opposed by more than a I score of newspaper and magazine j publishers today before the house postoffice committee. Opposition to the measure came chiefly from the representatives of the larger newspapers who declared that restrictions on the size would do little o remedy the situation resulting from the shortage of paper and would serve only to work a great if not fatal hardship on the large newspapers of the country. The bill was supported by pub* ? 11 ?U'llfl f)f>- I Ushers 01 small iichjjjoijvw, .?. ? clared they would be forced to suspend publication unless something were done. In opening the hearing Representative Anthony (Kansas) author of the bill, declared that from 2,500 to 5,000 small newspapers face suspension and perhaps extinction should the present shortage of newsprint paper continue. The shortage, the Kansas representtative charged was due to the action of the great publishing concerns in buying up practically the entire available supply. ^ V/ Suggestions that an embargo be placed on coal to Cafcada until Canadian newspapers which he said were using all the newsprint they desired, y agreed to submit to the same conservation program forced on the newspapers of the United States was ( made by H. L. Rogers, business , manager of the Chicago Daily News. This action cquld be justified, he ( added, by the fact that Canadian pulp mill used American coal in making their product. The prospective shortage of print paper for 1920 was , estimated at 20,000 tons by Frank , P. Glass, publisher of the Birmingham, Ala., News and president of the American Publisher's association. He predicted, however, that relief , from the shortage would come within six months. x.Congress, Mr. Glass declared, j] either should give the'federal trade j commission full power to handle the . entire news print paper situation . or should appoint a paper controller 1 with powers similar to^ those of the j fuel administrator. MISS LOIS WATKINS RESIGNS AS AGENT 1 Anderson Mail. t Miss Lois Watkins for two and a i half years the home demonstration < agent in Anderson county' has resign- < ed her position as agent of Anderson |i county to take a position as District I j Home Demonstration Agent of the j Piedmont District of South Carolina. 1 This comes in a way of promotion to Miss Watkins, for though she < I is in the same kind of work, her du- 1 ties are enlarged and are more of an 1 administrative nature.

She has had splendid support i from the people of Anderson county i in this work, and she expresses ap- j preciation of this support and states , that it is with great regret that she leaves the work'in Anderson county, but that she will still be connected with Anderson county and will have bigger and better opportunities for . the advancement of the work. , NEW POLITICAL PARTIES !' j, The New York Evening Post. Because any group o? gati:i;rinj:of men and women is perfectly free to found a new party, it does not' foiiow that they can do it. The es- ^ scntiais remain as of old. The mem-! bers must, in the first place, "think the same of the republic." But this [ % & < " " " idem sentire is hard to put into 1 definite form. The trouble at oncejj appears of many men of many minds. }| If you insist upon your pet doctrine i| I will upon mine. This instantly re- f suits either in an irreconcilable dif- f ference, or in the very pi*actice of ? bartering and swapping to make a|| platform, which is so bitterly condemned in the old parties. In the end the ancient round is traveled again. The new parly seeks to be a catch-all; puts forth no single, cleancut body of political doctrine and asks voters to take the planks that please them and ignore those they dislike. Thus the more you create a new party the more it looks like an old one. After thinking alike, if you can command it, comes action together. After the ideal aspiration, ways and means have to be devised. Parties cannot live on air. They must have organization and funds. They must comply with the election laws, which freely open the door to new parties, but lay upon them a burden of securing petitions, and so on. This means labor and money, And it often happens that in this necessary process of translating ideals into actualities fervor cools and discouragement sets in. Moreover there is one question th^t always arises to hamper the separatists. Why not induce one of the old parties to adopt your ideas? Then v.a could work through existing politic::l machinery instead of having to invent new. To this, the history of Americr.i parties gives point. Far from being, or desiring to be,'snug little monopolies, the two leading parties, however named, have always been alert | to detect new movements and to seek j f/\ nmiflv T Vt d PnrMilicf = bV WK11VA bUVIU. 1 lit X V|/UliQV : of thirty years ago rose and^ spread | and became a pood deal of a power !

More Pecans For Christmas The latest report on pecans shows ;he finest crop of record, considering :he United States as a whole, the promise being for 89 per cent of a full :rop. Last year 27 per cent of a full ?ron was realized, An unusual fact s that this year the promise is from jood to excellent' in practically all Dortions of the belt. The quality of luts is 88 compared to 73 last year. The development of the pecan iniustry during the past ten y:c.": hr.o >een remarkable. A ready ci las developed for the improved varieties. Vast quantities of pecans vere formerly allowed to waste in ;he forests, or were gathered only by ;he hogs, but the wild crop is now nuch more closely gathered and in:reasing attention is being given to ,he native groves. Immense plantngs of improved pecan trees in the Southeastern States are coming rapidy into bearing, and the orchards that lave been conducted on sound business principles are proving a profitable investment.
