FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1921.
j ;
From what we can learn there has
been considerable destruction of cot-j i
ton stalks. Miss Mahala Smith, '
county agent, and Mr. Wood, county
agent, both tell us that there has been
more plowing in this county this fall W.
than was ever known at that period
before. Much grain has been sown.
The stalks have been destroyed and
grain planted. All of th's w:ll tend to
n better day. Union Cornt^* is "nine ^
to wh'p the boll weevil, of that we
feel conr,dent.
There is one phase <<f the arms limitation
conference that is overlooked.
I
and yet is playing a most \ it .1 part in
the conference. The age-long divergence
between Christian ethics and
paganism. The element of pagani-m
is not all 011 the side of the heathen.
We have a considerable amount of
paganism of our own. The lines draw 1 >.>
do not correspond to race or color, pn
strictly speaking. Those who liie upi ' '
on one side or the other often do not
realize the real facts. But Christian 1
idealism and bold paganism are in
conflict. This has been the situation W
heretofore, and will he the situation
for a long time to come. Pagan idea
and ideals "scrapped" the league of ^
nations. And pagan idea and ideals
will "scrap" the conference, or at
least, doctor it up so that it will be;
practically useless.

Times may be harder than ever, bet
we no not. ueneve 11. i-ast summer _
"Moxy" journeyed up and down in the,
county seeking for renewal subscrip-'j
tions, and at the end of the week he
would come in with a very, few dol-*
Jars. During the last two months he j
has had very excellent success. I I s
collections have quadrupled his summer
collections. A newspaper is a
very good barometer showing the
financial weather. It is the first to
lose good times and the first to find ?
good times. Not long ago a man war
talking with the writer. He said:j
"Money is scarce; I don't believe the I St
people have any money." If he will
go to Bradley-Estes sale tonight he: ^
will change his mind. The sale is<
reaching highwater mark, it seems to
an onlooker. There is money in the d?
county; where has it gone if tin re is 111
i
none? Some people, using the cvylf|
of "hard times," have stopped harping, j
Some, hearing the cry, have stor d y
their money in an old sock or old 'h
wallet. But the money is here, a
much as we ever had. '.r

'Estampage" Dangerous ?
To Touring w
ir
Paris, Dec. 7.?It is not only Am- it
ericans or other foreigners who find a
that the tourist or visitor is charged t<
excessive prices in France, Maurice ti
Rondet-Saint, a well-known French
writer, has an article in the Renais- |
sance in which he points out how |
dangerous "estampage" is to touring, i
and what eventual loss it involves. I
TU? I <U.i. ?? i- - Ji- *
inc wuiu csiampu^c is a we- (
tionai-y word for punching holes "W
metal and is as much slang in France
for over-charging and such like as 1
"skinning" a client is in English. 1
"The hotel industry," he writes, j
"has undoubtedly suffered from the j
increased cost of living, still ti must I
be admitted that a number of those 4
directing it, if not all, have taken ad- ]
vantage of the difficulties of the j
times to look upon the unhappy in
dividual who has been misled into j
entering their establishments as .
something that can be carved and J
sweated at mercy, from whom the utmost
must be squeezed without |
smashing the screws."
There was a great outcry last year
against the exigencies of hotel keep- y(
ers anil owners of villas offered for ^
rent but money was then more easy _
than now and the s ason passed fair- !
ly well. This year many villas have
failed to be taken and the season
would have been disastrous but for
he English who came to take advantage
of the exchange.
In certain resorts in the Pyrenees,
.vhere the natives seek to live the
vhole year on the profits gained in
;ix to eight weeks, all sign posts and
iimilar indications were removed, so;
hat a guide became necessary fov j
ilmost every excursion. M. Rondet taint
adds:
"Except for one or two speeial re-j _
;orts, touring has markedly fallen off'j?
his year and unless some under- J
landing is reacned to stabilize prices
it a fair figure, travelling for pleasiro
will he abandoned and one of the
dements which contained the greatest
promise for general prosperity
vill he killed hy the incapacity of
ome and the rapacity of others."

Wage Campaign Against
"Selling Out of Germany"
Coblenz, Germany, Dec. 2..?German
newspapers for weeks have been
waging a campaign of protest against
what -is termed the /'apUing^out.vof .
Germany" to foreigners who have ir.
vaded the country to purchase goods
since the mark began its sharp decline
early in October.
The mark has fallen in value much
laster than the prices advanced and,;
as a consequence, thousands of speculators
have been attracted to Germany j
to take advantage of the situation. I
In the occupied area the influx of
foreigners became so great within a !
few days that the Allied authorities j
soon decided that some cocnerted ac- |
tion was necessary to protect the residents.
The president of the Rhineland
province, acting under direction of the 1
Inter-Allied Rhineland High Commis-;
sion, issued a decree prohibiting pur- j
chase of merchandise by foreigners!
not actually residing withi nthe ter- {
ritory of occupation. This order does i
not affect members of the Allied mil- j
itary forces, the Rhineland commission
nor other foreigners who were in
the occupied area on legitimate business.
Officials deemed that this step toward
trade regulation was necessarj
to prevent retailers from selling all
their stocks to foreigners taking advantage
of the low rate of exchange
on foreign currencies at a time when
the price on goods in the German
stores had not been advanced, or at
least not marked up in comparison
with the depreciation of the German
money.
For days, buyers poured into the
Rhineland on every train, and by automobile
from Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg,
France and other nearby
countries and business in the stores
of Coblenz, Cologne and Aix-la-Chappelle
flourished as it never had before.
The foreigners bought everything
on sale and in whatever quantity
could be arranged with the retailer.
This abnormal demand for goods
continued for days and reached such a
stage at times that storekeepers found
it necessary to close their doors, because
of the crowds, or because the
shelves were empty. Clerks worked
16 and 18 hours a day trying to keep
up with the demand.
Many articles of American manufacture
are on sale in Coblenz stores
at retail prices much lower than in
the United States, taking into consideration
the rate of exchange. It is
>xplained here that these goods came
from surplus army stocks in France
vhich at various times since the armstice
have been disposed of by the
Jnited States liquidation commission
.0 Germans and merchants of various
>ther countries.
