A THE WAR TAXES. 01 There is complaint about the bur- ^ den of war taxes ana there will be v such complaint for many years tc U come. There is also complaint aboui the long time it takes for business U get back to normal. While you are making your complaints, try to keep these facts in mind: The war was a tremendously ex- Lj pensive Uiing. All the nations went s.' into debt in order to pay their share L of the cost of the war. The war was not only expensive "f but it was destructive. It stopped the creation of wealth for the time being c and it destroyed wealth already ex- a isting. s A few individuals may be richer be 1 cause of the war but the world as a v whole is vastly poorer. Now the nations will have to pay ri the cost of the war and will also e have to replace or pay for the wealth r that was destroyed tuing the war. And all this is going to take a long t.iire. Congress will be levying taxes t to puy for the world war when all n th- people now living are dead and in s th r graves.?Spartanburg Journal. c Mt'mk Our cat says a life of peace produces a character that is weak. * * * Our cat says the spirit of hospitality is an honor to a community. * * f Our cat says there is not much hope in the armament conference. * ?

A t henuan, associate forester, writes as j allows: j "The Tongas National Forest is , ompletely equipped with an admir- ( ble system of waterways. Here, in- < tend of saddle and pack horse, the j 'anger rides a seagoing motor boat, le guides his steed by means of a vheel instead of lyeins; feeds it gasoine instead of oats; tethers it at light with an anchor in some shcltred cove instead of with a picker < ope in a mountain meadow, and uses i he paint brush in lieu of a curry omb." Rangers in that national forest < ravel in couples, two men to each i no tor boat. The boat is a staunch ;ea-worthy craft, 35 to 40 feet long, quipped with 25 horsepower engines, ind with fully inclosed cabin and lilot house.

"Their day is lot an 8-hour day, hut usually a 1C >r a 20-hour day, with only one man ictually on duty while the boat is wiring.

(W i 1 /It All Orutfisll?30 CtnH Mnk Bollworm Discovered in Texas Washington, Nov. 21.?An imperii nt conference on the pink bollworm ituation in Texas, occasioned by the ecent clscovery of new nfestations in 'His County, one of the largest cot:>n-producing counties in the State, as been called by the Federal Horicultuval Board of the United States )epartment of Agriculture, to be held t Dallas, Tex., December 2 at 10 . m., in the assembly room of the 'exas Chamber of Commerce. Notices of the conference have been ent by the board to State entomologists, commissioners of agriculture, md officials of Cotton Seed Crusher issociations and the Amercan Cottpn u-socation urgently requesting their ittendance. The occurrence of the pink boll,vorm in Ellis county Is looked upon is by far the most important devolopnent in the spread of the pest since ts introduction into the United States. According to Charles L. Marat t, chairman of the board, the nev. ituation demands early and mosl -erious consideration by the authorises in Texas as well as by the authorities of all other (stouten thnt nrnrlnoi cotton. In the meantime steps havt jeen taken to secure, by cooperation m the part of the state of Texas and .he Cotton Seed Breeders association >f that state and others interested adequate control of the movement oi - eed and cotton from Ellis couny ending the determination of the conference. rext of the notice sent out by thf joard is as follows: "Very recently five fields in the vi inity of Ennis, Ellis county, Tex. iavo been found infested by the pink jollworm. This county is one of the argest producers of cotton in Texas. Vnothcr important consideration is he fact that in Ellis county are loated a number of the largest cotton red farms in the South."The EUis county infestation apmrently originated in seed shipped rom Carlsbad, N. M., of the crop of 1920, prior to the determination of the ncipient infestation at hat point January fi. 1921. All of the seed shij ped "rom the Carlsbad crop of 1921 has )een adequately disinfected by heatng. Twenty-seven carloads of seed >roducd during the years 1918-19-2C vere shipped to Ennis. A large nam ler of additional carloads during this period went to a number of widely separated points in Texas. A small ... -i? > IUIIIUV i UL rni('iiiciu^ wrii: mnu ni.iut ;o points in Oklahoma. At many of Lhese points the Carlsbad seed was more or less subdivided and in many :ases used for planting purposes. All these points have been under field inspection throughout the season, and the Ellis infestation is the only one so far discovered. "Following the infestation determined in 1918 in the Peeos Valley ol Texas, separated by about 90 miles of semi-desert from Carlsbad, th( Carlsbad project has been under intensive inspection to determine any possible infestation at that point. For example, in 1918, 111 man-days (ir other words, full days of cotton field inspection) were given this district In 1919, 56 man-days were devoted tc scouting at Carlsbad. In 1920 scout ing was continued for 48 days befort the first infestation was found ir standing field cotton January 6, 1921 Subsequent to this finding, 216 addi tional days were devoted to thorough field inspection throughout the Carlsbad project. This inspection developed only two infested fields out ol 94 inspected, and a total of 16 pinh bollworm were found. "This occurrence of pink bollworm in Ellis county undoubtedly is by fai the most important development which has occurred in relation to the finding of the pink bollworm in the United States. It demands early and most serious consideration by the authorities in Texas as well as bji the authorities of all other states which produce cotton. Eor this reason the board has decided to hold a conference in Dallas on December 2. It will 1 e called to order at 10 o'clock in the morning in the assembly room >f the Texas Chamber of Commerce, [t is urgently requested that you attend this conference. "In the meantime steps have been aiken to secure, by cooperation on the part of the state of Texas and the Cotton Seed Breeders association of that state and others interested, adequat control of the movement of seed and rotton from Ellis cou.ity, pending the letermination of the conference.

Every month or feo a report that the vast treasure f^lleged to have been buried some GO years ago) on the Islands of Pinnki had at last been located, has induced a new company of adventurous Papeete capitalists to equip a fresh expedition only to return with nothing more thn a goodly coat of sunburn apd back aching from the strenuous exercise of digging for weeks in the blistering coral sand. Then, early in the year, came the yacht "Geaeaee" from New York in search of la great treasure of gold, said to ha>is been left on the island of Tupai Mami, in the western Societies, by the Geitnan Pacific squadron when they were i flying from the pursuing British anfl Japanese fleets in 1914. , Much real estate on Tupai-Manu flew I into the ftoramcnt, on that occasion, under the action of good charges of , dynamite?-' but the "Genesee" sailed away leaving the treasure to be dis" coved by a future explorer. And now there is} a! story of a new treasure. , The tale u, that about 50 years ago | a Chilean j warship deposited on the , island o^Moorea (the island close by I Tahiti) a treasure of gold belonging ( to the Chilean government of that time?as d measure to keep it from ' failing intq the hands of a strong revolutionary , party. The revolution must have! been successful; for none returned to take away the gold, the story runsf Yenrs afterwards, however, the Protestant missionary at ' Moorea recjeived a letter from a priest " in Chile enclosing an outline drawing ? rornirni7o/? oa fVin miflmn a# I mountain Jeaks about Opunohy Bay ' in Moorea., asking for information of the location of the island so repre1 sentod, andl stating that he had knowl- S edge of a treasure burled there. The & missionary!having visions of ungold- d. ly adventurers corrupting his flock o: decided to lear up the letter and draw- ei 1 ing withou dispatching the answer. h Nothing more was heard of the af! fair until e month ago when a stran- h ger arrived in ?the island bearing 1 charts and drawing, which, he claim- tl ! ed, would Vfcad him to the treasure. Reporfc^rom Moorea state that, at ^ ' the placevlndicated on his chart, on f, 1 digging do?wn, he came upon a concrete slap)and great was the ecite- fl ment untii the slab was broken g< through anfl a cavity, about three Nfeet |c 1 in depth, viis disclosed containing ab' solutely nothing. The seeker is, how- jc ever, hope'jil and is hard at work dig- * ' ging and slunding in the valleys about j J the bay. ' | First Report of Committee J, Atlanta, ba., Nov. 20.?At the third c< anpua), -convention of the American f< . Farm Bureau here tomorrow six na- ^ tional cooperative marketing commit' tees will bfring before the farmers of f, America tjieir first reports on the growing eopperative movement. These committees, represent the wool, grain, a live stock, fruit, dairy and vegetable w I growing industries. These commit- p tees, appointed within the last year by President J. R. Howard, of the American Farm Bureau Federation, are forming national selling agencies ^ ( through which individual farmers pool a their products. Forty-six states will j have state representation. a This?will be perhaps the first time in history that farmers have met nationally to consider as a national probU iL. I.-Al * * . inn, me iiiarKewng or America's lood supply. Taxation, transportation, ^ tariff, banking, disarmament and finance are other subjects that hold a place on the program. Experts in s< their lines have been called in to dis- a | cuss these subjects. Another innovation in the move- c , ment for better agriculture is the en- ei listment of women in farm bureau ai work. Each state will send its dele crtaion of farm women to outline a n program for the organization of farm a women in a national way. In no other p< nation in the world have farm women ^ organized. 8< Address of welcome will bo extend- n ed to the delegates from the 46 state a federations by Governor T. W. Hard- ^ wick and James ^L. Key, mayor of Atlanta. The three days' program will be of- st ficially opened tomorrow afternoon by <*r President James R. Howard. T Among the prominent men who will a* address the convention arc Secretary fc of Agriculture Henry C. Wallace, Sen- ft ator Arthur Capper, Bernard M. Ba- tb ruch and Senator W. S. Kenyon. w The economic side of agriculture le will be particularly dealt with in the ct addresses of Senator Arthur Capper and Bernard M. Baruch. Secretary or Henry C.

D. Harcombe, mess officer, has completed the menu which was suggested by the l>oya themselves. Desiring to be democratic the mess officer submitted the question of selecting the menu to the stiftlents and they accordingly rendered a selection of edibles which strikingly reminds one of "back home." yj Inasmuch as many, if not the ma_ jority of students will be away from the college on Thanksgiving the holi day dinner will be served on the fol- p< 'lowing Sunday. # ^?i?

Tiflis, Georgia, Nov. .18.?(By a taff Correspondent of The Associattl Press).?Tiflis is a city dreary by ay, terrib}e by night. The last city f importance to come under the influtice of the Bolshevik emblem of the ammer and the sycthe, replacing the ouble-headed eagle of the empire, ere are contrasted the happy old ays of gaiety and prosperity with le dull misery of the new regime. At the railway station, on entering le city, the difference is seen and ?lt. Instead of swaggering guards t black boots, black long coats and ahsing silver belts and swords, are Jen a few ill-dressed Red soldiers, >oking hungry and uncomfortable in 1-fitting clothes held together by a >ose belt. Barefooted, dirty, white, iced, ragged boys clamor for a fiance to carry baggage.. Peasant women and bourgeoise woten of the old time stagger along uner loads of baggage or packages of iod and fruit hrmurht -fmm juntry. Brocken down hacks wait >r fares, pulled by thin, underfed orses. The streets are dirty and ill-swept, all of holes. People wear clothes that seem to elong to another era. Here where dozen tongues are spoken and 'here 100 tribes used to gather in the roud finery of their national cos-: ames, all is-down at the-heal.' Women often feo stockingless., heir shoes show signs of patches one over and over again until they re compbsed of patches only. Their kirts may be of old pieces of silk nd their jackets of military cloth r even the black leather of aviator i aats. Shawls have replaced hats. The men civilians wear clothes rat are a parody on shabby gentility, heir top boots are alltop, the soles nd heels long since worn away. All arts of military odds and ends, from II the armies of Europe, contribute > their dress, khaki puttes, yellow lather jackets, British canvas trousrs, French blue caps, United States rmy coats. The stores are boarded up, for the lost part and when open surely have few bottles of French or Italian erfumes and little else. A pair of merican shoes, of poor quality, was ?en in one window, marked 750,000 lbles, an incredible sum of money in city where a monthly salary of n evict employ is 3,000 to 5,000 rubles. Small trading is done on the marit place, where starving families ill off finery and jewelry which earned the wrecks of their hese homes, once so comfortable id bountiful in hospitality, are cold r lack of fuel, dreary for lack of *>d, often curtainless, with he~e arH lere bullet marks on the outside alls. The toilets and baths are use- ( ss, because the city water supply is it off for lack of fuel. The Red army in occupation has ders from Moscow to be "good to eorgians and it is "good," yet its tmmanders go about with set, stem ices as if the world was watching. i Cholera in summer, starvation in I inter, thin U tlut 1?t r\t nnnixria I _ _ ? w I France has nearly 1,000,000 war orians.
