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.

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

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.
At the end of July 100 grains wer
sowin separately At the end o
September the grains had develope
an average of 12 shoots each. Thes
were cut and transplanted and b
the end of Octber each cutting furr
ished an average of eight shoot:
which produced 65 ears each, an
each ear gave an average of 5
grains.
A simple multiplication sum show
that each of the original grain
planted reproduced itself 12 by 8 b
65 by 50, making a total of 322,00
