WILL MAXAtiE TO LIVE
I
When Uncle Sam fixed the profits'
of the big meat packers at nine per- j
cent there was a mighty holler. The
packers at the time intimated that
they might have to go out or businss?the
profit was too small to get
along on.
But Uncle Sam was not satisfied
with the way things looked in th?
big packing houses and so he started j
an investigation. Now the packers
admit that they have made a 30 percent
profit and we suppose Uncle
Sam is going to make them turn
1_ over that extra 21 percent.
This looks like a curtailment of :
one's liberties?but it is not. We i
have enjoyed almost unrestricted 1
liberty in this country so long that
we have come to look upon our liber- '
ties tfs privileges. Large combinations
of capital operated on the the- ^
ory that they had a right to do as (
they pleased with their earnings so <
long as they staid within the law.
But the war has put a different complexion
ou things. The meat pack-;
era, along with other large corpor-'
auons, nave discovered that repub-j i
lican-madc privileges they enjoyed I t
ed in times of peace cannot be exer-.y
cised under a democratic auniinistra- a
tion in times of war. ^

Everything the farmer buys has j ^
gone up, with no government price-j
fixing policy in sight, yet there is
an insistent demand for the govern-1 ^
ment to fix u price on what the far-j(
mer produces. The government is ^
urging the farmer to produce and; r
the public is urging the government 1 j;
to fix a price on what the farmer pro- 1
duces. The inanufueuir?particularly 1 I
the manufacturer oi materials need- j'
ed to carry on the war?is making j'
huge profits and the profits are coin-!*
ing out of the people in the way of!1
taxes, still the people think the man-'
ufacturer is only getting what he is
legitimately entitled t", while on t!n
other hand the fnrmei is accused of i
being the nation's greatest war pro !
fiteer. Thirtj cents a pound for col- 1
ton is little enough when the high '
cost of agricultural supplies is tak- '
en into consideration, and as cotton
has come to be recognized as a necessary
food crop, the government1,
would make a mistake to attempt to
regulate the price to suit the consumer.
The cotton farmc has had
rough sledding for the past ten years,
and has carried his burden without
a murmur of complaint. If there
are any profits to be earned out of
the war he is entitled to the lion's 1
share.

JOBSON SYSTEM TO
REACH TNISMIRY
Well Known Men Interested in
Bringing New Common Sense
Methods to Our Farms?
Brings Crop Increase.
Something this county has been
needing for a good long time is . going
to be brought here?thanks to
the efforts of Dillon Hardware Co.,
of Dillon, and C. McLaurin, of Minturn,
well known merchants and
good citizens who believe in helping
the "other fellow" as welt as selling
Mm goods.
The thw.g these gentlemen are
bringing to their section is nothing
more nor less than the Jobson System?something
that will undoubtedly
bring bigger crops to our farms.
This System and Mr. Jobson's remarkable
plow has creat-ed more talk
in the South than anything that's
happened since the -big war began,
and the endorsements great Agriculturists,
State Officials, leading farmers
and practical men everywhere
have given it, puts its merits and
benefits entirely beyond question.
As a matter of fact, the Jobson
System of deep plowing, less cost
Snd more crops, is nothing on earth
but good, common sense, and anybody
can see the big benefits of it
as soon us they read the booklet now
being given out free by the above I
tamed firms. n
This book crtainly gives some |
.^un t?imiYic-a ill Billing it mi su ill" |
nor plowing and no farmer can af-.
'old to go a head with his crop this
rear without getting a copy and
'ending up on it.
The plow holds out the benefits of
ieep tilling which were pracitcally
jeyond the reach of small farmers
jverywhere. It does this at a ridiculously
small price. It handles wet
and from one to three days earlier
:han any other plow. It does two or
three plowing in one, and the fact
that it goes ten inches deep on the
?anie draft it lakes to~pull any other
t>lo\v a depth of six inches is established
by the positive statement of
is great an Agriculturist'as Hon. F.
J. Merriiim, Editor and President of
aneof the great farm papers of the
Country- The Southern Ruralist, of
Atlanta.
Our county dealers are much interested
in getting a large number
of tlies plows on our farms this season,
and tlley take this occasion to
invite every public spirited citizen in!
the County to come in and investigate
this movement.
That the plow is also usi d for till
ing growing crops, which renders it
hiui more vaiuaDie us an an round
farm implement. It is hoped that,
other dealers in this county will ro,
operate.?3 7 It M.
