The question is easily answered as to those who are in debt. 1 hey should apply as much as possible of their increased earnings to settlement of the mortgages on their .lamia. This will relieve them of interest: burdens and make their future more secure. Juding by the past, however, those who are out of debt or got out of debt should lay up a cash surplus rather than use their increased revenuie to buy more land, especially if they go in debt for additions to their land holdings. When prices of farm products are good, the temptation is to think they will always bo good. One of the first effects of good prices for farm products is to make farming lands cost more. With higher prices for farm lands, many farmers go in debt to 'increase their land holdings and farming properties, thereby increasing production with a harmful effect on prices of farm products, owing to the workings of the luw of supply and demand, which inexorably works out in the long run, oven if it may seem to he set' temporal rily. John F. Sinclair, a member of Roosevelt's "brain, trust," says "a rude awakening" awaits the tarnier, who gets "lulled into a sense of lalso, -ci inity" by tile higher prices for j fat m products. According to Sinclair j there is trouble ahead for t ho farmer j who gets the notion that the govern-j jYient will always take care of him. j Tim extraordinary Roosevelt meas-j ures are frankly temporary in nature ( and the farmer must not forget this fact. The government will assist, him in carrying his debts, but ho, not j the government, must pay them, and the best thing he can do with in-j creased revenue is to apply it to the ^ payment of his debts. Sinclair j warns the farmers that the federal land banks will call on them some time to pay their debts.?Anderson Independent.

The National Capital Is A Wide Open City (Special Correspondence) Washington, July 25.?'When the Federal government was established the United States consisted of a comparatively narrow strip of territory along the coast of thu Atlantic Ocean. Among the founders many differences and contentions arose, one of which was the site for the capital of the new nation, and the location agreed | upon \\iis the result of a compi otitis?. 1 My far the greater proportion of the i pnputulem lived north of th5 1 otomac river, and the agricultural South was apprehensive lest the commercial and industrial interests of the North should attain a prepondering influence in the government if the capital should he within that section. An agreemgnm fostered by Thomas JeffowLun' and Alexander Hamilton, provided that the capital should be located in tho southern section of tho country and that the general government should assume the debts incurred by tho states dn the War of tho Revolution, a consummation dear to the hearts of tho people of the North. After tho extension of Fedorul territory to the Pacific coast agitation began for tho removal of the capital to some oity in the central west and after the Civil War the question became somowhat acute, but the proponents of tho proposition could not secure favorable uction. largely because of sentimental reasons and partly on account of the development of rapid transit, the agitation subsided, probably nevar to arise again. + ? + Recent editorial offoi'ts on the part of The Chronicle to secure the closing I of- soft drink and beer stands in Camden during the hours of worship on Sunday bring to mind the 'great dif- j ferenees in "the regulations of the subject existing in various communities. In this city every thing is "wide open" on Sundays, although there are many men of deep religious convictions in Congress, which has entire control over the attains of tho District of Columbia. All of tho larger stores are closed, but the drug stores, restaurants, tobacco stands, theatres, picture houses and many smaller stores are all open. The theatres are not allowed to open until the middle of the afternoon and sales on the street by hawkers' are not permitted. The last named provision, however, would seem to be somewhat inconsistent. There is practically no day of rest here, and the condition reltects no credit upon the national government. * The head of the I>epartment of Justice is a citizen of Connecticut, Homer S. Cumniings, whom the president at lirst intended to send to the Philippine Islands as" governor-general, but upon?the death of Senator Thomas J. Walsh, who had been chosen as Attorney Cleneral. Mr. <'u minings was designated for that position. He is sixty-three years of age'and has boon active in state and national polities ever since he reached manhood. He has never before held any high state or federal ottiee, although he has been a candidate for the national House of Representatives and also for the Senate, but in the past Connecticut has been slow in favoring Democrats. He is undoubtedly a very able lawyer, and is universally acknowledged as it man of tact and experience. With a highly attractive personality he is especially qualified in handling matters of organization as well as the other duties of his high position. * # * Twenty states have now voted on the repeal of the eighteenth amendment. all favorably and by large ntaexcept Tennessee where the majority was something less than ten ' hou -and.

Its construction was conceived when Herbert Hoover was Secretary of Commerce, and when it became probable that he would bo president, :t was easy for him to secure the approval of Congress, especially during a period when the revenues of the national government were enormous and considerably beyond ex- 1 per.dtiures.

VV. Long, expressing appreciation of the fine work done by these men. Reports "from Washington indicate similar line work in other cotton, > bates. "Some of these men worked from 10 to IK hours a day after ali preliminary questions had been cleared,' Cully A. Cobb, cotton production chief, said. "The reports show further that the committeemen carefully inspected the fields offered and tried to assure the government representatives of securing a fair and average proportion of tho ' cotton being grown. They did not hesitate to reject fields on which the cotton was below average or would produce less than 100 pound's to the acre." It is evident that tho county agents selected a group of high class citizens to work in the campaign. While perhaps some efrors were made in the preparation of contracts in a campaign of such magnitude and intensity. Toward its close the campaign to reduce the cotton surplus grew rapidly in popularity, and those who reI fused to cooperate began to feel the weight of popular opinion. Had it been possible to continue the work longer, an even larger number of planters would have pledged part of their acreage for reduction purposes. This in itself testified to tho excellent manner in which the committeemen have attended to their job, say the, officials, who are confident that local s committeemen will continue their j good Efforts until the cotton pledgedl lis removed from production and the, | campaign is finally closed.

It i* a tar cry from Mullina, in the beautiful old Palmetto state of South Carolina, to Sagada, in the Mountain Province of the Philippine Islands, and I>r. Hawkins K. J*nkma has learned, through experience, that practicing on the eastern seaboard of the United States, and in an island in the Philippine* archipelago, many i thousands of piiles from Broadway, a t o two separate and distinct propositions, says the Medical Quarterly which goes on to tell all about him thus: A w oil known successful practitioner iu South Carolina, Dr. Jenkins had a yen for carrying on his profession as a medical missionary in the Philippines, among a group of .natives whose spiritual and physical welfare, has, for many years, been under the guardianship of the American Episcopal church. The work was instituted there by the lato Bishop Charles H. Brent, later Bishop of Western New York.] So the doctor pulled up stakes, and in due course found himself in one of the most delightful sections of the beautiful Philippines, He had everything to do with, except a good hospital and the proper appurtenances. In other words*, Dr. Jenkins possessed the latest professional knowledge, and an ardent desire to properly apply it, together with a tremefidous number of pa-1 tients. All he needed were proper hospital surroundings. Before going to the Sagacla Station Dr. Jenkins had been stationed at St. 'feuke's hospital, Manila, . where he was blessed with every necessary adjunct for the very best kind of med* cal and surgical procedure. , It is easy to imagine, that he is finding things very different now that he is located at a point hundreds of miles from Manila . and 12 miles from the nearest point touched by a mail truck. The old hospital, at Sagada, a small, unsanitary, poorly arranged building, was not originally intended for medical purposes. Often times patients with communicable diseases are crowded in with others who are susceptible. For example, recently in one room were a man suffering from pneumonia. a baby with measles, a boy with dysentery, and a post appendec-. tomy case. It is not unusual to have some of the patients sleep in the operating room, curled up on the floor. Indeed many of them prefer the floor to beds. The doctor finds that one particular room in which he can comfortably place six beds will house 10 floor patients. Dr. Jenkins say3 the natives aie very appreciative of the treatment they receive, in spite of all the hardships they are compelled to undergo. Usually thcv are not able to pay any money! but' they do donate vegetables. rice and eggs, although even this trifling payment is carried out at great personal sacrifice. , ^ Ambulances are unheard of in Sagada, and the patients are brought i,ver narrow rugged mountain trails | in a blanket, which is Ued at its ends. I Through the mediunj of a ja&mboo pole, a sort of hamrr^x^j^fhade, and a man at each end of the pole furnishes the motive power. Some times these patients who may live many miles, in the interior, are a day and a night enxoate to the hospital. and a bevy of natives accompany the sick man in order that they may "spell" the carriers. The area served by the Sagada I Hospital exceeds in size most of our states, but day in and day out people are carried down these dangerous mountain trails for the attention of Doctor Jenkins at the Episcopal hospital. He hopes U> be able to carry on under better circumstances soon, be, a use the church has commenced the .re.-t.on of a new hospital which is :>t ir.g built along sanitary lines, and which w .11 !u- more adequate for the w< rk. - ' The 11:-.-. opal church, as well as to* her n minati r.s. .-s doing spier: :.d -ervice in the Philippines, ho't; the ,-p;ri:u.il and physical welfare the residents of those is.ands. But with over 1 15.000 square miles, this great church has, in the archipelago, only two hospitals, and three dispensaries. There are in all the islands seventy-eight hospitals, including army, civil, church, and private hospitals and sanitariums to care for 12,000,000 people. Therefore, it is obvious that much must be done in the Philippines before we can feci that the }>oople are receiving the greatest benefit which medicine can bestow. Few medical practictioners realize what their confreres in the far flung of the Untted States are doing medically and surgically, as well as spiritually, for the people of these distant lands. Their activities remind one of the heroism of our medical forebears ! who, on horseback, amid the storm and tempest, penetrated the fttrtheri most recesses of an almost iripcne| trable country to carry succor and aid to those in need. I lad Greenbacks But No Change -Columbia, July. 34.?-Joe Mar,tin, 20-year-old negro, who had so much "big money" he couldn't pay a 26cent taxi fare, Anally decided today what to do with $1,680 he was carrying around in a suitcase. Accepting the advice of Columbia IH>lice, he deposited the money, earned and saved while he was chauffeur for a wealthy New Jersey man, in a banking place to bo withdrawn as he needs it. The money was in $20 bills, all sowed up in a cloth in the negro's suitcase. That caused him a lot of trouble. First, he said, "a friend" in Boston tried "to get it away froip me." Then, when ho came to Colvufltig to visit a brother, he was afraid to Jake out his "roll" to pay a taxi fare. He had no small change. The ca*b driver had him arrested, and Martin, becoming worried, said the money was "bewitched" and he wanted to get rid of it.. After arranging for his taxi fare, cheeking up on hia story and giving him the financial advice, the police released him. Times Have Changed "When I started in life, young man," said the wealthy contractor, "I worked 12 hours a day." "Yes," replied the young man, "but in these rapid times anyone who took 12 hours to dp a day's work would get | fired."
