Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 31.-Declaring
that opponents of the league of na
tions are using the same arguments
as those used 100 years ago against
the Federal Union, Aaron S. Watkins,
Prohibition party candidate for Pres

The Prohibition party standard bear

SUGAR DEALERS AY LOSE
New York, Atig. 31.-Whether the
price of sugar after its quick decline
of last wveek as reached bottom or is
due for further dlrop~s as the subject
of conjecture heretoday among deal..
ers, some of whom are said to stpknd
to lose heavily if additional breaks
occur.
41'he consensus of opinion anmong
traders wvas that many heavy losses
were not to be exp~ected. All agreed
that profits would be materially cur
tailed andl in some cases would have
to be foregone completely to avoidl
more serious conseqjuence should les
sened demand force the market still
low.
The "bottom fell out of the mar
4ket," one dealer said todlay, shortly
after the demand for domestic con
sunmption and export failed to absorb
huge quantities of sugar wvhich pouredl
in from nearly every country, includ
ing China, JTapan andl Centarl Euro
p('anpean pointh, such as the Balkans
andl Czecho-Slovakia.

WHAT CLARENDON
FAlkMERS ARE DOIN(
Mr.-B. Walker Holladay near Tin
dal's Mill has his crop of peanuts har
vested and stacked. Mr. Holladay ha
a fine crop and has put the stacks ul
according to rules and the vines ant
nuts are curing just right. While the
price of peanuts is away down fron
the price last year the crop is not i
total loss by any means for it can bi
fed to stock, either hogs, mules oi
cows. A peanut crop stacked in the
field is something new in Clarendor
and shows that the diversification ider
is being taken up by many farmers.
Mr. W. S. Scurry has fenced a fiek
of corn and velvet beans with the wire
he bought in the fencing cam.-aign last
winter. He now has a good tight
strong fence and plenty of feed inside
the fence to fatten hogs of feed t<
his cows. Mr. Scurry has some finc
purebreti Duroes which can.make good
use of his beans and corn.
Mr. Pearle Thomas near Manning
has two very fine fields of corn and
velvet beans. Mr. Thomas is planning
to fence these fields in a short time so
as to be able to let his stock gather
the crop and also to keep from feeding
other peoples cows whcn they are
turned out. It always pays better to
fence your farm than to provide a
boarding place for all the stock in the
neighborhood. Besides when a farm
er's neighbors see what a fine crop of
velvet beans he has made and find
their own cows can't get a share of it
they will plant some themselves the
next year. Just another thing a fenced
farm will do.
There are a great many more vel
vet bean fields in Clarendon this .,ear
than there was last year or for a
riumbe:: of years previous. This is cer
tainly a fine thing for the individuals
who have planted the beans and for
the County as a whole. A fenced field
with a heavy growth of velvet beans
and corn somehow niake a farm look
prosperous. It tells the story at a
ulance that that farmer is providing
us own feed; that he Is becoming more
self-supporting and that he will not
have to buy his feed on a high priced
market. Likewise the nitrogen a crop
of velvet beans store in the ground
will make a difference in his fertilizer
bill next year.
Mr. J. Elbert Davis and Brother
near Manning have started their dairy
in an up-to-date manner. Their dairy
barn is screened and has less fies in
it than a great many peoples houses.
The barn is cleaned daily ,the cows are
milked by machine and they have all
the conveniences that can be installed
in a modern dairy barn. The Davis
Brothers have a milk house where the
milk is kept on ice and also where the
milking machine and other utensils
ised are thoroughly washed and steril
ized after each nlking. I'll take a
Irink of mnilk from the Davis' dairy
,my ti'me without even a thought of
germs. All cows ii this dairy are
oither purebi ed or grade Guernseys.
At present they have eleven grades
md five purebreds. a.' well as a pure
bred bull iand six fine calves. A tile
3ilo is almost corpietedl. This will
insure plenty feed all the year round.
When you pass this dairy stop and see
low good milk -nroduced.
All farmers are interested in
he C arendon Bol Association should
2 o to see the Guernsey bull owned by
the Davis P- thers. This animal is
i specinian ol the kind of bulls that
will be bought for each block in the
Association. After seeing this animal
vou will not wonder wvhether the bulls
hat will be bought will be under size
ir a poor looking animal. All these
ulls will b~e from dlams whose recordl
'or butter fat prodluction is 400 poundls
r' over. I wvas unfortunately taken
icek just aiboutt the timie we were
were ready~ to or-ganize the bull asso
iation, but I will now see to organiz

Faese."

James M. Cox and Dr. Aaron S. Wat..
kmiis, two of Ohio's Presidential can
didates, and Franklin D. Roosevelt,
Governor Cox's running mate, divided
time in addressing a crowd at the
Ohio State Fair here today.
Governor Cox, voicing the Demo
cratic party's stanti on the league of
nations, declared for the league and
criticized the plan put forth by Sen
ator Harding, Ohio's third Presiden
tial candidate in his recent speech.
Mr. Watkins, Prohibition Presidential
candidate, criticized both the plans
sponsored by his two opponents and
also criticized both the Republican
and Democratic parties for not tak
ing a stand on prohibition which he
declared to be the paramount issue.
Mr. Roosevelt spoke very briefly of
agriculture in the West. Ile left to
night for New York.
Earlier in the (lay Governor Cox
had issued a statement replying to
testimony offerid by Will H. Hays,
rhairman of the Republican national
committee, before the Senate sub.
committee investigating cam paiga ex.
penditures, in which the Governor de
clared as "absolutely untrue and false'
