Tuesday, Novombor 18, 1930 ? ' " ? 1 1 BEGINNING TO FACE FACTS , Any amount of comments and sug gestions have been made as a ?rem edy for the business depression sweep Ping over the entire country, but the solution has not been (definitely found, ^.l?Ut we believe that the people <?cr/er ally are heading in the right -i fraction They are beginning to study for them selves the causes and are setting to work to remedy the conditions facing ?*them. Spending without thinking has had much to do with bringing dis^ & aster in business. When mor.ey was ft. easy to get\ there were too many who I', .took chances at getting it and when % pay day came, how appropriately ^Voome could have used the quotation, I* "Behold I have made ft fool of my [>': self." We do not moan bv- what we ?f; say here that money should not be ? spent, for it should bc made your ?V' servant and used for your benefit. fi; Buy what you need and pay for it, and thus keep it in circulation. There is- ty of money in the country, but it is being h:ardod' up. Money put a. ? -way does no real good. It may give some comfort to the ones who have ?. put it away by making them feel safe - ?, to a certain extent, but money hoard ed be.omes congested and until there is circulation there will be depression. Why not face the facts; do your part and keep the wheels of progress mov ing? Men of affairs ar0 beginning to study the situation, and when sjme | definite plan of relief is settled upon, this great country will move on and ^happiness and prosperity Will reward 'f? the honest efforts along this lino. |Y; "The Father of His Country," is ^.Vquoted as saying: "Nothing but har j^mony, honesty, industry and :"rugali ^ ty are necessary to make a great and 1$. happy nation." And George Washing ton was right. p CRIME PREVENTION THEORIES PAII. jp; According to tho American Eugen Society, crime costs the United States at least $10, 000,000, 000 a year. ^iCfther words, every 3-1-4 seconds <,we sustain an economic loss of $1,000 ? t'ue to crime. j$$v Thus, crime becomes a financial ^ Well as a social problem. We must all pay for it.' Scientific crime pre g;-vention, then, not only safeguards the persons and properties of our cit izens, but directly benefits their poc f ket books. ? Unfortunately there has boon very litte scientific crime prevention in th? ^United States. We have attempted to fight crime on the theory that n so cial and economic .disease can be curcd by legislation. Recently the Grand Jury in on? of the largest American cities charged - that there was _ a well-established, three,-cornred alliance betwe6n the police department, the corrppt poli ticians and the criminal etyiment. Pro tection of this nature is trie greatest possible stimulant to crime. It. can on ly be stopped by a public demand for tho enforcement of Hasic*, long-estab lishcd laws. Crime statistics indicate thai ivi.i r s crimes such as murder, manslaughter and robbery are on the increase. This In spite of a vast vr-lume of suppress ive legislation, which, while it re stricts the law-abiding, has no ?ffcet on the law-breaker. REAL PROGRESS . Today the American citizen, sitting in his home or office, can in a few minutes and at a reasonable cost he connected by telephone with a person in any one of 29 foreign-countries. We have contacts with H7 per cent cf all telephones in. existence, and transatlantic telephony in:rease:l from 2,r?00 vnlls in 1927, t<> 19,000 in 1929. A/meriea's great, privately i;" ownerl telephone industry is doing ^.invaluable work in bringing the peo pples of the world closer together. vjV DANCERS MUST PAY PIPER It may be sflid of the Governor of & Minnesota as Shyloek said of Portia, that he is "a Daniel come to judg . -went." Confront (irfi with a general &$#fnand for a reduction of state taxes, he says: "I may be a little. Old-fashioned, but I am ready to sup port the contention that the only way A state can reduce taxes is to spend l6*s mOnoyl" That Is a hit that puts tho hall squarely into the bleaehors, \v)iere the people and their legislators mostly It 1# homely self-evident wis bufc it shines like a proverb from on.? From the Atlanta Coirsti Kill Worthless Trees and Have Bet , ter Pastures ' Kershaw county is developing her pasture^ ajki forestry resources find in coneilction with the' pasture $brk it is realized that many worthless | treeB should be killed in order for the ! j pasture grass to grow and1 develop. It is realized also^ that where black j Jack oaks, etc. ai* ^ .down they us lually sprout o\i? and" cause a great deal of trouble and hinder the growth |Of valuable grasses "and legumes. I Such worthless tnees can easily be killed so that ' they will never sprout again by poisoning with the follow ing jfoison: "A Compound - prepared with either sal soda or caustic soda and white ar senic i?) used for killing trees or sprouting stuntps. The formula and directions Tor preoarin'g tkis com pound have been furnished by the Of fice of Farm ''Management and Farm Economics of the United States De partment of Agriculture ami are giv ? n below. To one gallon of water (some have prepared this solution with two gal Jons of water instead of one, with good results) add one pound of white arsenic and bring the mixture to the boiling point. Then add two pounds of sal soda and boil until the mixture becomes clear, which will b4 in !>5 ?r ?'0 minutes. In case caustic seda is used instead cf sal soda, use only one pound for each pound of white arse*vc. To pre pare the compound with cuusti* so da, bu> the granulated form which can be obtained' from dealers in laun dry supplies or from large wholesale djuggists. Put the required1 amount of water in a bavrell and pour in the caustic soda. The action cf water up on the caustic soda generates suffi cient heat to dissolve the . arsenic which should! ibe poured in slowly (to prevent foaming over and thus pre venting possible s:alding ard scatter ing of the poison) as sron as the wa tei begins to steam. Stir vigrorusly with a wooden paddle until the mix ture cools. If all the arsenic has not dissolved, heat until it goes into go lution, but if donp correctly all the arsenic should dissolv0 the first time, j If a little whiting is added to this solution it will be easy to tell which ?uvses have been treated. ? Both the arsenic and the caustic soda are exceedingly poisonous v\nd great care should be taken not to in hale or swallow any of the dust or fumes arising when the preparation is being made. Do not prepare this compound in any vessels that after wards may be usedi in the house or for feeding stock, and it should net be left where irresponsible persons or stock can have access to it. Stock should not be turned into the field ?vhere it has been used1 until rains hav0 washed away all the poison. To use the preparation, cut gashes through the bark in the trunk of tho tree. The cuts should be made" shal low, just into the sapwood a*id close enough so there will be a ring of pois on around the tree. Make the cuts so they will retain the poison instead of permitting it to run diown th<, trunk. A large spoonful of liquid should be poured into each cut. An old teakettle with a long spout Is a satisfactory vessel to use in applying it to the tree. / ? Generally it is used during the ear ly part of the growing season but some claim it is most effective if "sod in the early fall. The solution tends to become less effective if kept longer than six months. If kept in *n aii -tight, container, however, it will rctr"?r its strength much longer. Th0 species of trees which seem most susceptible to the poison are the hardwoods, including elms, maplies, oaks, locusts, and ash, gums, persim on. hickories, pines, cotton-wood, are less linbb. to b0 killed. If not con/eniert to make this pre paration a list of firms who manu facture one of a similar nature may be obtained on request to your coun ty agent. ? Very truly yours, HENRY I), GREEN, Co. Agt.

In a corner of the battlefield of Saratoga stands u monument erected to th0 memory cf Benedict Arnold On one side is the following inscript ion: ^ Erected by John Watts DePeystor Brev: Maj.: S. N. y. and V. Pres't. Saratoga Mon'h Ass'n. In Memory of uhe "mast brilliant' soldier" of the Continental Army Who was desperately wounded on this spot, the sally port cf Hurgoynes "GREAT (WESTERN) REDOUBT" 7th October 1777 Winning for his countrymen the Decisive Battle of ihe American Revolution ar.d for himself the rank of Major General On the other side j.s a columna carved like a Revolutionary cannon. At the top of the column are a boot, an epaulet (with two r,talS showing his rank) and a wreath." General De Peyster seems to >iavP conceived the idea of this design, u? cm a legendary conversation said to, have taken place bewteen Arnold and a former friend who met h>m ;n Lendon after the War was ever Ar nold uk?d him what the Americans wauld do to him if they oaught aim: enewj, they would cut o ft tk* l?g < trowUW a* Quebec **d J." * **th 1 -<Jor::, and tJcv?r w??ld hftng. y#gt ? yo?." In ie New York Times Maga?no of Nov. gth, n>p?ars a most imtorost in z account of the Battle of Saratoga, ? ad the part Arnold took in that bat tle. Jt was written by R. L. Duffus. His estimate of Gates' character * weH expressed in the following: ? Arnold had come north to serve un der General Phillip Sohuyler, his own , 'end, and a warm friend of Wash ington. Scnuyler was superseded on Auk. 19, 1777, t* the cold, vain M(| ambiious Gates, whoso hope it was to tako Washington's place as Com mander-in-Chief of. tt,e. Continental Army". In the first battle Saratoga Ar- I nold had proved himself to be a tower of strength to the American forces under his command. As the common' expression is, "he covered himself with gIory"T but, when Gates sent in 1 h?s report of the bottlt Arnold's name ' wa* not mentioned. That precipita- I ted a quarrel, andi Arnold was re moved from his command. . In the second battle, Arnold request ed Gates to permit him to fight as a private. Gates refused. When Ar rvoM could stand the inaetioa no long er, he sprung upon his horse and Phipgod into the fight. IBistory re cords the result. "Gates, seeing him ? said to have shouted to aid-de camp, 'stop him for God's sake! He'll d*) something rash!' " Here, you have two distinct types of men: Arnold, at that time loyal - j? brilliant leader, who asked nothing of his country but an opportunity, to , fight for it. . On the other hand is Gatos: a oold vindicative, ambitious man . who ask ed nothing of his country but the job I? f*'"* <>tnmamler-Un-Chierfv und | willing to risk disaster to his country i m ? r to gratify his ambition. Ben , edict Arnold was in his way, and must be removed, regardless of con sequences. Until that was aceom- | | pi i shed, Gates could, not hop? for ad vancement. With the help of politic mns in Congress, h0 sat himself the jtnsk of ruining Arnold; and he suc ceeded.

Now, coma to think about it our great leaders of the Democratic par ty havy announced and pronounced their unanimous intention, not to med die vrith the "iniquitous Hawley Smith tariff bill." There will be no revision. Yeah, when they wore cam paigning, they promised faithfully to attend that little matte^ at once, if the voters would send them to Con gress. But, that was before the vot ers were counted. Same old game, same old sucker-bait. Listen to this folks: they also pledge themselves to whole-heartedly support this here sorry Republican Administration;- think of it folks! and them, Democrats! What's come over the critters anyhow? It's just like I have been telling you folks: Our party leaders have swal lowed the Republican issues, hook, line and swiker. They admit it up North ? even in the newspapers, and over the "rad-io". It's only kept se cret in the South. They want us to get it in "broken doses", as the old doctors used to *ay. Get used to it gradually. j The only politcal issue before the i American people is Prohibition. Our party leaders say so, and they ought to know. | There are two things that a lot of people never forget: first, that they are Democrats. Second, that the best corn liquor is made >n the Carolinas. Yeah, I been expecting it, and now it's come: The Democrats are fight ing among themselves. Carter Glass has done "riz" up and notified all and singular, that he just don't in tend to hold any truck with them low down Republicans7 ani that 7 certain Democrats are a set of willipus-walli puses who in't got no right to speak for U.

And he praises both and singular the administration of Cleveland (a bolter) and Wilson (a non supporter), lie ffiils to mention tlve Cleveland panic when you could not collect money with a shotgun, and Cleveland rold U. S. Bonds to the Wall Street crowd at about SO, and the Wilson deflation period when ihG people, who had bought bonds at 108 had to turn them loose at 83. Some ?rowd manipulated both deals.
