TUESDAY, JANUARY 3, 1922.
In speaking with an extensive farmer
of Orangeburg county recently
The Times man was told that cotton
can be raised under boll weevil conditions
provided you pick the weevil*.
So it seems to be a two-fold proposition.
Plow and pick.
Our list of subscriptions to n canrim'
enn:iniip? In (rrnw. nlthoiiirh not
as rapidly as we had hoped. We are
going to pet the hundred sipners.
Won't you be the next? Arrange ments
have been made to send a representative
to Louisville, Ky., January
la to attend the big canners' convention
to be held for four days in that
city. The man we will send poes to
pet first hand information so that we
may act intollipently when we meet to
organize our company. You have been
sayinp: "I am poinp to help in that
cannery movement." But, so far. you
have failed to do so. Do not delay the
matter. Help, and help now. Say:
"$50 for one share."
At the banquet piven Union High
School football boys last nipht in the
Elks' Home by the business men of
Union, one startling fact developed:
All save one of the boys belonging
to the team expressed a determination
to stay with the school until the
course was completed. This one thing
is sufficient cause to justify everything
that has been or will be done
by the town for these boys. One very
regrettable fact heretofore has been
that class after class has graduated-all
save one or two being girls. Sonr1
classes, we believe, had not one boy
This has always appeared to us a very
>nfl^tisfnctory situation, llf the foot
^ fall enthusiasny is going uHcarry tht
boys on through the entire course
causing them to stick to the very end,
it is something that should be encouraged
by the patrons and by the
citizens generally. A considerable lift,
financially, was given the team by
the contribution of money to help
thenr buy outfits last year. We venture
the ns?rtion that it will he easier
to rais? the money this year. Not
orly has it developed that the boys
will remain to complete tire course;
it also develops that Union team ha?
made quite a good showing for the
first year. In fact, they won as often
as they locf; more than as often, and
several individuals on the team give
promise of become "stars" in the future
college field. This leads us to believe
that many boys who, having become
interested in football to the degree
that they will complete the High
Pchool course, will, by the same token,
be led to j?o to college and stick the
full four years.
We are for the Union Hi football
boy?5 and we ph-d<re them our hearty
cooperation in all their plans.

Canadian Soldiers f01
Settle on Farm Ar
??. mi
Chicago. Jan. 1.?Twenty-seven ur
thousand Canadian soldiers ha.e been' foi
settled on farms by the Canadian gov- as
eminent and $8">,000.000 have been of
loaned to these men by their govern
mcwit, according to a letter sent to the ca
Horse Association of America 1 ere by l;a
John Barnett, Chairman of the Sol ho
diers' Settlement Board < f Canada. isc
"Aggregated roughly this means fu
that we have placed a population of Tl
125 000 people on these lands," h< sh
said. J CI
"Our settlers have been settled tr
partly on free crown lands and parti, oh
1 on lnmts nnvehnsorl Kv this lw v/t n-w on
re-sold to h m. In no case has a scl | iu
tier been required to possess airr I
than $500. We have, tliereft re, ; d su
vanced practically the full purchase ho
price of the lands we hnvc bought od
and in addition have advanced up to in
$3 000 for permanent improvements th
such as buildings, fencing, etc., and ke
stock and equipment. j th
"The risk is necessarily great, but j of
has been taken largely as a re-es j ne
tablishment venture.
"We have been in operation o\c m
three years, and the national results pc
are already very great. Some (500 00!'' to
acres that were previously raw an'"' w<
entirely uncultivated, have bee- pi
brought under cultivation. I act yea1 se
soldier settlers produced field crop.
. worth easily $15.000 000, to whie' cr
i must be added the value of the it!- se
crease in stock and the value of vi
pou'try and dairy products. lo>
"Out of the $35,000 000, nlrer.d at
expended. $10 000 000 has been re sh
turned the public treasury. Of du? lc?<
payments, more than 00 per cent wa ta
. paid. nc
"Thus far, the number of men wh<
have abandoned their e'Torts repre ci
sents 7 per cent of our aggregate se' f<
tlemont. In the cases of ah melon- lis
ment, and despite the collapse in mur to
, kets, we ha o salvaged and foreclose; hi
. more than 500 cases representing a' bo
investment of more than $2,000 00 in
| without ?ny financial loss.
Mr. Barrett in his letter nvunion th
I that the power furnished these f ir:r
ers has, in a great majority of th rc
leases been horses, preferably mares cV
He says: h;
"With the shortage of personal cp w
ital, each settler had to be furnisbc 1 1
' with such power equipment as would v<
. enable replacement with practically n<
, cash outlay. Thfs meant supplyin" tr
as largely as possible to our settlers
mares, in hope that the increase would '4
i in time provide not merely the ne'e* pi
sary replacements, but also a.Tord ; f.<
.! source of revenue. n:
"Feed can be obtained from th' v
farm itself, and no monetary outlrn tr
is involved. Powc machinery, w ei
1 felt, would involve for upkeep and
fuel supply, a cash outlay that fe-' f><
. settlers could be reasonably expected p"
to meet. b
"We felt, also that the use of hors
power, rather than motor power h
: would enable our settlers to utiliz'
i more of the by-products of the farm. ' p

e to be a vary great improvement over
s the licenao ayatetu... s
' This is the rosylt of an investigae
tion covering several months, through

Board of Prohibition, Temperance.
11 and Public Morals of the Methodist
s Episcopal Church. The organization
I of the church was used as one of the
agencies of information, which war1
obtained from 20,000 heads of
churches and with numerous lenders
; of the 10,000,000 lny adherents. The
l' statement includes no figures not personally
verified, Dr. Pickett states.
e* The investigation showed that
^ "there has been an enormous decrease
- in the consumption of liquor, a de
3~ crease not less than 85 and possibly
in more than 90 per cent," according to
ls Dr. Pickett. "This has resulted in i.
Ls very large decrease in the number of
arrests for drunkenness and in a very
considerable increase in the purchasing
power of the poor and of the
skilled and unskilled laborers," says j
the report. "In San Francisco, prohi j
H bition decreased arrests for drunkenness
in its first year from 17,354 U
1,814. ItkLos Angeles, from 15,830
" to 2,589. In Boston, it was from
s< 52,682 to 16,487. In Baltimore, in the
last wet October, there were 1,165 are
rests for drunkenness and in the first
n. dry October, 110. We have similar
reports from the heads of police of
iC Washington, St. Paul, Lincoln, Gal
II veston, St. Louis and other cities.
?f "The fact of increased purchasing
power is attested by signed statev~
ments of the secretaries of chambers
of commerce, real estate dealers, furniture
and musical instrument dealers
" and merchants! of many kinds.
' ' "There has also been a large del(
crease in petty crimes, In Boston
K prohibition brought about a decrease
in the number of cases of assault from
,p 2,127 to 1,673 in one year. In St. I j
Louis. Vcv.'j declined from
"" 6,167 to 3,503.
_ _ t
... "There has also been a decrease in
more serious crimes in many cities I
>r The wet propagandists have spoke
s much of a crime wave in New York
k'1 I have it on the authority of the Comin
missioner of Police of the city of New
York, that in 1018 there were 11.81'
'r burglaries and in 1920 only 6,830. Hr
makes similar statements as to com
1 missions of crime of serious natur?
BF on other chafes.
"Even better results have been oh

In Philadelphia, in six month?
? of the last wit year, there were 1,181
? cases of alcoholism in general hospi'
tals and in nhe same months of th<1
next year, 27V5. Similar reports have
ne been received from other cities.
on "It is frequently stated by alcohol
n propagandists that there is in the
United States enormQus illicit distilla
? tion, that nearly every family make?
alcohol. Obviously, this is simply an
expression of opinion. In America,
,U* only a few families of German extrnc
tion know how to make palatable
beer. Whiskey, illicitly produced, is
Ir^~ so nearly non-palatable that only ha
? bitual alcoholics can consume it. Pri
vate distillation and brewing, while it

nificant factor! "Prohibition
