"The cost of cotton or other ens crop making in the South or an; where else is largely food cost, foo for the farmer and his family, foo in the, shape of grain and forage ft his working Uvo stock.

"The garden is, or rather should b? the earliest planted. It brings fooi the quickest. It starts cutting stor hills for food the first week anythlm Is ready to use.

The six members of the home ,e team faced Clinton's sextet. lust then al a fan was heard to say, "Gee, our girls ?il look like babies standing out there mi e. 1 the court beside their opponents." The n" I first ball was tossed up. Clinton's tall s' center was not quick enough for Ruth Harris. Ruth tapped the first ball , and outjumped her opponent through-] j] out the game. The big girl who op<e I posed Leonora Arthur in playing secid i ond center said after the game, "I just id I couldn't keep up with that girl you ?1 ! call Leonora." | The other four members of our I team put up a good fight hut needed R a sudden growth of another foot or ^ | more in height. This would have ony. I nbled them to match their opponents. *] This was not only the first interd high school game that our girls have >r over played but the first game that 18 they have ever seen. They didn't have l? time to see much of this one but they are over the tension that characterizes k the entering and playing the first ^ game. Clinton has been in the finals d for the upper state championship for j. the past three or four years, winning a, the upper-state championship one L year. Against such a team as this y our little team played its first game. The ho megirls showed up well and we ? are proud of the way they played the game.

This ancient pine was said to be 1,200 years old, having lived from the time of the sit Nara Epoch. During the last year t- it has withered and died, id Recently there was held on tiie id shores of Lake Biwa a ceremony "to transfer the spirit" of the ancient le tree into a younger tree that will i< succeed to the honor and near-worship which has been bestowed on the "Karasake no matsu." The youthful successor of the veteran which has passed is only 3.r?0 years old and is claimed to have sprung from seed cast J. by the old tree. The solemn ceremony s- was held under the direction of Kasai, 's priest of the Hiyoshi Shrine, in the presence of more than 100 of the highest dignitaries of Shiga prefecd ture. The ancient pine was of that low spreading variety often seen in this country. Although only 30 feet in height, its branches covered a span of 163 feet from east to west and 154 ^ feet from north to south. The area shadowed by its wide spreading I branches was 4200 square feet, a The new tree of smaller dimensions ^ is 20 feet in height and 11 feet 5 n inches in the circumference of its e trunk. The area covered by its o branches is only 1500 square feet. But this tree is stil a youngster and has 850 years in which to reach the dimensions of the ancient pine of Karasaki that has just passed. ,e . i? Want Oriental Problems :? Amicably Settled ?r . d Tokio, Jan. 13.?A telegram from d Osaka to The Associated Press says: r- "all Christian churches of Osaka lt strongly desire the Washington conJ ference to take every possible step to # ! reduce national armaments and make It war impossible. In addition we earnj estly pray that all oriental problems id may be amicably settled and lasting * peace and good will may prevail in this pnrt of the world."

Rochester Times Union. ; Teachings fo Jesus Ruling Principle of Business Atlanta, Jan. 13.?The teachings of Jesus Christ ure to be "the ruling 1 principles of our business," said John f. Eagan of htis city, following his i e'eetkn as president of the American j Cast Iron Pipe Company. He ex pressed surprise on learning that his j election on such a platform had ocj ensioned any comment. | "The directors of the organization ! rill are church members," he explained | "They have elected another profes] sing Christian as president, on a basi.- j | that the teachings of Christ Jesus arc ! to be the ruling principles of the business. I amglad if the action of the directors will cause other professed followers of Christ to give tHis question their thought." Christians who did not make Christ's teachings the rule of their business were characterized by Mr Eagan as "lacking faith in the power of those principles to save the world." Employes of the company have been enjoying the results of efforts of the officers to practice Christ's teachings for about eight years, it was pointed out by Mr. Eagan. First, a large industrial Y. M. C. A., building was erected, he said, and "with that as a center we have been enlarging constantly the scope of the company's services to its employes. Now we have a staff including physicians, a surgeon, a dentist and a nurse. We have a mutual benefit association, operated by company and employes jointly, and recently we established a pension fund for old age or disability." Mr. Eagan summarized his "platform" briefly in the following: "A reasonable living wage to the lowest paid workman. "Constant employment for every member of the organization. "An actual application of the Golden Rule to all relations between employes and employer." Results to the company from such a course of action, Mr. Eagan believes. wi i mciuue: "Service to the public, by manufacturing an honest product. "Service to employes by the application of the Golden Rule and the payment of at leats a comfortable living wage to each. "Service to the stockholders by earning for them a fair return on their investment. ' , In proof of his contention that business may be operated successfully on I the principles he advocates, Mr. Eagnn pointed out that in the last twelve months his company "provided work for all its employes?an this was not exactly an easy matter?and we are paying wages above the market" Mr. Eagan is known as a philan-' thropist and prominent layman qf the I the war he was chairman of -the commission on training camp activities for the navy, with headquarters at Washington and was a member of the executive and finance committees of the. national war work council of the Y. M. C. A. and chairman cf its southeastern division. Living Expenses Very i High in Berlin Berlin, Jan. 15.?Collections to pay the cost of funerals, births, and even marriages have become common in Berlin, where the cost of dying as well ns living has increased enormously since the beginning of winter. When there is a death among the employes in an office building a list is made out of the occupants of the building and the paper quietly passed around, and every one contributes. _ i -1 J: * " ??iic-n u muorer uies or a memDer 01 his family is stricken, the list is passed through the apartment building in which he lives, or if in the suburbs | through the whole community. Illness in a family is cause for the same procedure and a marriage is not often passed without a cash contribution. Workmen and low-splaried members of the "white collar" professions earn barely enough to buy food and fuel to support them during the winter months. New clothes are not to be thought of, particularly shoes, a pair of which costs as much as many heads of families earn in a month. Many workmen go about their duties in suits so patched that very little of the original material remains. Their shoes are often full of holes, carry numerous patches, or their feet are wrapped about with rags. Complaint is made in labor circles that, while the workmen are suffering under these conditions, the profiteers and foreigners are spending enormous sums daily upon luxuries. This is causing much bitterness |among the workers. The central government has directed that the names of those convicted of speculation and profiteering be published prominently in the newspapers. Britain Regaining Foreign Co^j Market London,. Jan. 15.?Britain is regaining her foreign coal markets and her foreign trade generally is showing no table si(?ns of recovery, says the November bulletin of the American Chamber of Commerce in Ix>ndon. A striking feature is the reversal of the positions of the United States and Great Britain in coal exports. In September, 1020, American exports were 4,330,658 tons and British 1,475,623 tons. In September this year, American exports had dropped to 1,498,878 tons, while the British exports increased to 3,406,579 tons. Advertise in The Union Times. Would Restrict Cotton Growin Senator Wells of Edgefield intn duced a concurrent resolution in tii senate yesterday instructing Soui Carolina representatives in eongrer to introduce and pass, if possible, bill prohibiting the planting ?4iul rnv ing of cotton in the United ^t.ite;. e< cept every other year, for foui \<u beginning next year.
