Most criminals go into violation of
the law because they think they can

cannot be caught.

The longer any task is deferred in
the execution of it, the harder it will

without waiting.

wait on the cotton patch if M
it can be picked out to-day; for the
storm may come along or a week of

Try your next tobacco crop on high
land that is naturally drained and

We are glad to say that we know
a number of farmers in this county
who have made money this year from
raising tobacco; and at the same

corn, potatoes, and other food crops.

Some of the best land in this country
is going to waste every year because
it has not been drained. It is
not going to waste because rather it
is only waiting the time when it must
be drained out and cultivated in order
to accommodate the growing popuhi
ton of this country. There are
fortunes in good lands now suuject
to too much water, and those coming
after us will be obliged to use them.

The people of this county once
thought that the high sandy oak
ridges were practically worthless and
they would part with it at almost any
price. It was only fit to hold the
earth together. Now notice of late

1 OPENING OF DANIIRE
FOR USE IN TRADE
British Admiral Tells of the
Success Marking Commission's
Efforts i; ,
MANY DIFFICULTIES
IN SECURING SHIPS
Great Shortage of Coal Also?
Steamers Operate on
Save.
Sir Ernest Thomas Troubridge, admiral
commanding the Danube, for
the inter-allied commission, in an interview
on his flagship described the
success which so far has marked the
efforts of the commission "to promote
the commercial use of the Danube"
since June 1 when control of the
river passed into its hands.
The commmission, which is temporary
is responsible to the supreme
economic council at Paris. Its other
members are the Marquis do Bellow,
captain of the French Marine;, Count
Dentici, an Italian colonel and Henry
_ James, an American. The prompt
and effective manner in which trans?
port facilities on the Danube were restored
by the commission is well
known to all observers of events in
: the Balkans. How it was** accomplish
joJ is another story.
Admiral Troubridge, who participated
in the naval defense of Belgrade
in 1915 and in the groat Serbian
retreat is credited with his colloo
ifto 1 c /Inin rv M/IV-\ + AII?O 1*/1 _

struction in southeastern Europe.
For two years he was a representative
of the British war cabinet at Saloniki
and came north with the advancing:
armies, reaching: Belgrade on
the day the Austrians fled.
"Early in November of 1918/' he
said, "there was not a single steamship
available for service on the Dan
ube. So we had to begin at the very
beginning. It was the aim of the
Austrians that all shipping should
escape up the river to safety beyond
Vienna. But as the ship raced northward
they were fired upon from the
j shores by the Jugo-Slav revolutionaries.
As a result. many of the
j crews deserted and a number of
ships were surrendered or beached.
This gave us a nucleus for the reorganization
of service.
"Every didfficulty confronted us.
i We had to secure and organize new
I crews, repair machinery and landi
ings. The armies had to be moved
[ and an immense volume of traffic
, awaited handling. Also there was a
=;j great shortage of coal. We secured
J some along the river, and later from
j Sarajevo, but the great bulk had to
'be furnished by Great Britain. Three
I [thousand tons were supplied regular'
| ly each month. Service had been re!
sumed to Semlin, permitting connection
with the railway terminus; to
Panchova and to Novi-Sad.
"Aj rantVllu n? nr?vi?iV?lf? st.onniOl'S
I I *-* ' ? ' ?
y ! were put in operation up the Save
j and down the Danube. The ravita.il.
lement and fuel supply of several coun
j tries and the movement of armies
and refugees awaited this service.
"When the steamer service was
turned over to the government at Belgrade
on July 1," continued the admiral,
"we were handling- commercial
freight at Belgrade at the rate of
?,000,000 tons a year, and there was
available passenger and commercial
service from Belgrade for an average
daily distance of 1,000 miles."
The. jurisdiction of the commission
is from Sulina, at the mouth of the
river, to New Ulm, in Bavaria, Steam
crs ply on various sections of the
river from Sulina to Paya. Navigation
is impossible between Paya, 110
miles south of Budapest, to Prisbourg,
a like distance to the north.
This section of the stream is* controlled.
by the magyar revolutionists and
is heavily mined. The section of the
river from Prisbourg to Passaw in
Bavaria is ami the commission
is now actively engaged in restoring
traffic from Passaw to Ulm. The restoration
of through traffic on tne
great river highway therefore awaits
only the restoration of normal conditions
in the magyar area.
In addition to his control of commercial
traffic Admiral Troubridge i*
in supreme command of the allied nauol
17?iv?n Atl lhr> llnmilw whirh cm
biaces a total of approximately thirty
craft, British, French, Serbian, Jugoslav
and Rumanian. This force is almost
a new creation, the crews representing
a dozen nations and the
| ships coming from many sources,
i some of them heing prizes of war.

WOMEN
HAVE MANY RIGHTS
In Absolute Control of Their
Property According to Old
Roman Law.
I
________ f
Soivu? extremely modern young women,
who mistake symptoms for the
causes of woman's independence
should nia'-e a t'nr of Turkey, suggests
a bulletin from the Washington
headquarters cf the National Geographic
Society. !
There women smoke, have had
property rights for centuries, and
divorce is easy, but who?in all respects?wants
to be a Turk ?
The "toys of the Turkish harems"
were to be pitied in many ways, it is
true, hut considerable pity for them
has been misdirected. For examp'e,
LJlO T11 I'lf i vli vi'dmnn It'll" "" 1 "
? " V..1UII W J1 \J IIU W ill t' 1 W
be "emancipated" have had absolute 1
control of their own property for
hundreds of years, whereas the German
wives cried in vain for such
"emancipation" under the kaiser.
The bulletin quotes from a communication
by Mary Mills Patrick,
which gives a vivid picture of the con
dition of Turkish women before the
worldd war, as follows:
It' is a well known fact that Roman
law regarded the rights of the individual
without consideration of sex;
a man or a woman was alike citizen
of the Roman world. This met the requirements
of Mohammedan life,
where no woman ever necessarily sus
tained a lasting relation with any
man.
Therefore, during all the centuries
of Mohammedan history, women have
legally controlled their own property.
They have been free to buy, sell, or
alienate it without consulting any
male relative. This has given them
independence of thought and an influence
in business affairs that
I seems wholly inconsistent with their
life in comparative personal slavery.
Enter a harem and there you see a
Circassian beauty, who has been new
ly acquired by the tall, handsome
pasha who has just passed you in the
street. The air is heavy with the odor
of Eastern perfume, and the black
eunuch stands by the door to watch
all who come and go. The beauty herself
is thickly powdered, with an clab
orate coiffure erected by her numerous
maids. Jewels half cover her
arms, and she. wears a beautifully em
broidered negligee. There is a languirous
expression in her black eye:-, as
she sits idly smoking a cigarette and
sipping Turkish coffee.

Would you think to look at her,
that when she draws her money
from the bank that she must sign
her own check ? These two sides of
life have been wholly at variance
with each other; but, as years haveY
gone by, the thoughtful she has predominated
among the more intellectual
Mohammedan women, until now^
they are ready to enter into the affairs
of today with an understanding
and vigor which the world has never
accredited to them.
It has been on the social side that
Mohammedan women have suffered
most under the oppression of the last
thirty years, especially from the frequency
of divorce. A man could legally
divorce his wife at any minute,
the only condition being the payment
of the dowry which was settled upon
her by the husband at the time of her
marriage.
In the last attempt to keep the sex
in the role assigned to them by the
life of'^he harem, very strict laws
have been made to prevent all possible
progress among them. Laws
have been proclaimed over and over
again forbidding Mohammedan women
to attend foreign sofcfflols. In
;his' emergency they engaged gov- I
cmesses. Most of these governesses
were alien, and many of them were
inefficient, and bad moral guides to
so large a portion of the population
beginning to think and question. The
governess system obtained so much
influence after a short time that laws
were made forbidding1 women to havo
governesses. Yet they struggled on
in an effort for mental illumination,
reading, writing, talking things over
among themselves, and sometimes
getting help from their husbands and
brothers. They have accomplished
much, with so heavy a handicap, in
literature, science, commerce and \
politlCS.
SPROUTING OATS FOR FEjft)ING.
Oats for sprouting are soaked over
night in warm water and then spread
from one-half to one inch thicn on
trays having perforated bottoms, and
put into an oat sprouter. Water the
oats thoroughly and turn the trays
around once daily to promote eyM
sprouting. Artificial heat should,^
supplied in cool weather by the use of
a kerosene lamp or some other
means. Use a good grade of oats and
allow a square inch of sproutcd-oat
surface to each hen dailv. fWwlmor t.ho
- - ? J . ~"
sprouted oats on the floor of the
poultry house or in the year^kjPeed at
any time after the sprouts are well
started, which usually takes from
five to seven days. Keep the sprouter
clean and spray it occasionally with
disinfectant to prevent the growth
mold spores.
