FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1921. The wholesale price of Cuban sugar has hit a mark under five cents. It would never have reached the exceeding high level during the war and! blundering of high officials and the j rabid greed of profiteers. There never was any real scarcity of the commodity. Now and again some "smart Aleck* gives out the information that he does not believe the boll weevil will do any great amount of damage in this county. He overlooks the fact that if such should be the case it will be the first on record. Talk is cheap; experience is dear. Would it not be better to t re pa re to meet the enemy? Especially is it true that to fight the boll weevil successfully we need only do the very th'ngs that should be done even were there no boll weevil. Less cotton, more food and feed stuffs. Less soil robbery, more soil building. Lesimporting of fruits and vegetable? ftnd more home production of these articles. These are the directions that we should choose, boll weevil or no boll weevil. A cannery here is a step in that direction. Have yet* made up your mind to help build one'' If so, 'phone No. 1, and say "Yes." Eugene V. Debs was given an ova tion by his admirers upon his arriva at Terre Haute, Indiana, his home Wednesday. He would probably hav? been released much earlier but fo* the insistent demands made by tin Socialists for his release. He has no been one whit improved ^ILhis stain prison. It is very \le that us maj^r 6?e engineers were* "fcWo .v ^ ' **"J with a rock cut ?gthened. I his *?at had he neve cr8 has bed it would have been bet JS.oY' the country. His type is, ndoubt, the most dangerous type. Mil ! mannered, burningly zealous for "th ^ cause," and. withal a man of consid erable inteMigence, he is dangerous He has come out of prison impeniten and fired anew with resolve to pu! down the institutions of the country He would now wage a relentless wn to free all prisoners and to dow "capitalism." All this is true, but w believe such fanatics should not b taken too seriously. Fact is, man; of them do not take themselves ver seriously until they are led to do s by the fact that they are taken seri ously. Dreamers of fanatical mol< we may expect to have. Theorists wit": their half-baked ideuo we may expec to arise. We doubt the efficiency of prison sentences to correct them. Schools, rather than prisons: locric rather than clubs; information, rather than abuse are the effective weapons with which to fight the fanatic and the wild theorist. Mrs. Edith Rockefeller McCormick, daughter of John D. Rockefeller, yesterday obtained a divorce from Harold F. McCormick. The divorce wa>. obtained in record time?just 57 min utes. McCormick admitted the charge of desertion, preferred by his wife and made no further statement of 1 i. side of the case. Some time ago we read of Mrs McCormick's proclivities for Hindu "voodoo," and then and there condud ed that it would not be long befor. she would seek a divorce. We do no believe in divorce, but we do no blame McCormick for allowing th< thing to be pulled off without an of fort to stay the proceedings. It i a pity that the idle rich American romping over Europe and other sec i tlons of the globe should continue U sow the seeds of bolshevism and an 1 archy in the hearts of many by thei? foolish whims and fancies. Follower of Debs and Emma Golman and Alex ' ander Berkman and others of lesser . .. influence in tne camps or the roilow | era of "isms" and "ilks" will roll thi? new bit of scandal perpetrated by capitalism under their tongues as a ' sweet morsel. Pity the poor fools could not realize the seed they are ' sowing, these idle rich American im\ itators of all sorts of Hindu, voodoo j' ' foHjr. 1 L. J. Browning has been chosen by .he county delegation to act as infornation agent in the matter of instructing the farmers upon the best methods of combatting the boll wee iril menace. Mr. Browning has wit- j nessed in Oklahoma and in several; other states the ravages of the boll weevil. He is also well informed upon the question of how best to fight the! boll weevil. His appointment is worthi while and should be productive of; great good. We understand that Mr.' Browning's appointment will in noj way affect the appointment of county! agents. Mr. Wood and Miss Smith! will both be continued. This is well,! for we do not believe it is possible to overestimate the value of either Mr. Wood or Miss Smith in their respective fields. Mr. Wood has earned far more than his salary. He is one of the best demonstration agents in the State. The same may as truly be said for Miss Smith. Their work is not of surh a nature as to be spec-1 tacular, but it is none the less effective. It takes time, a long time, for work like theirs to reach the point of attracting the eye of the casual ob-j server. But, in due time the results will be appirent to all. With Mr. Browning's appointment, it will be possible for Mr. Wood to give most of his time to the problems of soil building, rotation, diver-1 sification. the proper use of fertilizer soil analysis, the breeding of hogs andj cattle and a hundred other things, j There need be no conflict between tlm, two a fronts. Mr. Browning is to aid! specifically in the war on the boH j weevil. Mr. Wood is to be continued | as county agent. The two will fin 1 j great opportunity for cooperation. Mr. Browning has agreed to furnish instructions upon the boll weevil! fight for pj'dication in The Times from time to time. We gladly cooperate in the plan and will give bin: all the space he desires. Wo have always given fieely of space to both Mr. Wood and to Miss Smith. Wo will continue so to do. We are willing and anxious to serve every ago ic that promises to forward the interests of Union County. , At last the situation has developed that we have all along feared would result in the arms limitation confer ence. France, with some show ot heat, flatly refuses to enter the pro nosed agreement to limit submarinfleets. England's representative 1 int that France has designs upon Eng 'and. So then you have it! The won lor has been that the rupture shouV j have been so long in coming. No- ; mly does France reject the propose' J eduction of her submarine fleet, sh' | nroposes to build a fleet of such see ! engines of war three times as gren< s the one she now possesses. She 'urther declares her intention to bail "misers, destroyers and other auxili aries up to a tonnage of 330,000 ?a** :ncrease of great magnitude over he"! oroportionate allowance. But, shucks, the whole thing hn? ! been a farce. Those who i*ejected Mr. Wilsor's league of nations then and *here settled the issue. The nation? will have to go on in their madncs . building and taxing and preparing te lostroy. If it was illogical and fool sh for the United States to enter a '?ngue of nations, it is equally im oracticable and silly to hope for any oternational agreement upon arms imitation. A farce, pure and simple ' nd one that has been honey-combed vith deceit and lying diplomacy. The Republicans in slitting Mr. Wilson's hroat have slit their own as well "Vrhaps it is well that it so transpire? j "^onie day there will bo a league of nations and the league will bo built; pon confidence and open, fair deal- j :ips. There will come into being an 1 :*iternat'onal court, and there will b^ "rented a police force in every nation uflficient, when combined, to enforce 'mnest agreements, honestly made ^ut. it seems the time has not yet ar "ived. "Peace on earth, good will to ward men" is coming, but it is ye* fnr. far away, in our humble judgment.

Campaign Against Military Trainini Chicago, Dec. 28.?A nation wid campaign against military trainin for high school boys has been slarte here by the headquarters of th American Federation of Teachers. Th first organization to pledge coopers tion with the teachers is The Lcugu of Women Voters, of which Mrs. llai riet Treadwell Taylor is presiden A close second is the Illinois Lcagu of Women Voters whose executn board thi-ough its president, Mri Henry W. Cheney, has endorsed th movement. The Federation's opposition to mi itary training in the public hig scho ds is bast^l uponthree argument! 1. Because not even Germany deen ed it advisaole to maintain militur training for school boys in time ( |;rov,v. 2. Because miKtary training is iu nr? adequate substitute for physio training. 3. Because militarism should be.di! couraged, not encouraged. The appeal is being sent to organ zations throughout the United State irowing What One Grain of Wheat Will D Valiodolid, Spain, Dec. 29.?An e> periment to show the fecundity of grain of wheat has just been conclut ed at the Official School of Agricu ture here with the result that on grain, produced in a year 322,00i grains.
