H? finds if strange, there foce, that r.eclamatioh work should not be handled indepwdently, on i^.own merits; and financed on a far more liberal scale. There is ho-question of the ini TTSwsnse value of auch work inT -the "tVest, as undertaken by the federal and: state governments in ,-the last 20 or SO years. Some projects have failed.- but nearly all of them have justified themselves. The. total re sult has been to add .immensely to American opportunity^nd to the productive power and taxable wealth of areas once worthless. There ought to b- many times $20.000,000 a year spent on irriga* tipn, drainage and other, forms of UM recl?iuati?n.

SITING THE HARK ThJb incorporation oi a company in Canada to deal in German marks calls attention to the fact that the billions of marks held by credu lous investors in this country and Canada are not necessarily a total Ipss. They may be worthless here, but they have some practical value in Germany. There may be con siderable salvage, then, in using them where they came from. The value of the mark in Ger many has been higher all along than it;? value in international ex change. One might obtain more food, more merchandise, more ser vices, more real estate, etc.. for it over there than anywhere el?e. That IS particularly true now. when the exchange value of the mark has nunk to practically nothing. Sooner or Iat?r the vast quantity I of German paper issued seems \ I eertain to l?se all its purchasing j ; power even in the -Fatherland. It I j is rapidly approaching tliat catas-! ! trophe now. But in the meantime, \ i anyone with a bale of the stuff can ! j tak.e it over to Germany and saye ' ? ? i j something out of the ruin by living j i.oji. it for a while., or investing it.} [There will be loss for the investor j at best, but a few crumbs from the jJoaf are better than nothing. !

OXE-SEDED RMaiBrRSEMEXT Hard coal, operators say they will have to add,SI a ton for coal jjtf &je mouth ,of the mine, until jjsprjng, to make - up , for "main |ienance costs" during the long j shutdown. j * Soft coal operators - ha\^e been I adding more than that and will ! certainly not add less, in spite of j the efforts of the state and federal governments to limit prices. \ Such additions, as usual, will be mcxeased 'iheralij' i^ .being passed on to. the consumer by the middle- j man and the retailer. - j In all -fairness it must be jsaid : that some increase is to be expect-j fid; and possibly the public de- j 'serves to have the increase made j exorbitant -as a natural penalty for j??cieti'-'-s tolerance of so absurd j and wasteful a system of industrial production. Society, cannot have industrial warfare and inefficiency without paying for them, j The wrong consists, in the pay ! ment- being %? s.p- one-sided. The; j operators can recoup. The con sumers are helpless. ';, The miners, too, have no such i advantage as the operators. Though J they go back at their former wages, jxhey: los.e. They caunot make up j their ' 'jonaintenance costs" during j the idle period. The extra amount j thte operators are adding to the jfiric.e of Jevery ton - of coal dug is jmore than the miner is paid for j digging that ton. , ? : , ? ?- I j ?

Sept. 23.?Henry Ford, in a newspaper interview late to Iday. advised the people, of the 'country to "buy as little coal as j possible now." declaring "coal : prices are tumbling." ; Mr. Ford granted the interview j.ehortly after his return from ?SOuthern Ohio, where he arrang led for an uninterrupted move ment of coal to his Detroit indus tries. ? 'Tell the people of the; whob world, if you can," Mr. Ford said to his interviewer, "that if they j would save money they should not j buy coal in any great amount now. ? Tell them to buy only enough to I get along on. For coal prices are ! tumbling, and they will go much ; lower. They will have opportun ity later on to get their winter's I coal much more cheaply."

Turks to Europe ; Cleveland, O., Sept. 23.? (By the Associated Press.)?Asking what the issue will be in ID--, former I Governor- James Cox of Ohio and Democratic. nominee for President in 1920, declared here today in his first address since his return from an extensive tour of Europe, made before the City Club, that "the people this year will be asked to elect a Congress that will undo the present tariff monstrosity." '?But wc will not lose sight of another great question?the inter national one," Mr. Cox added. "It will be more pertinent for discus sion, however, in the great nation al, forum of 1924. "When a surgeon finds an in jured man suffering from a se vered artery and a broken leg, he sews .up the artery first, in the present instance bad as the inter national issue is, domestic injury iuflicted by the most incompetent Congress in all history is even worse," he said. . -Touching, on the general Euro pean situation, Mr. Cox said in part: "it is scarcely believable that European powers have agreed to the return of the Turks into the affairs of the cuntitnent. There may be a reason which is not apparent from the surface of things. It is barely, possible that the whole Mo hammedan world has been stirred to its base and that the urge upon England is from India. ??Europe is infirm from war? suffering from an economic break down and divided by the deadlock of reparations she seems to lack the vitality and resiliency to hold back the Turk. "All of this is proof of what has been urged upon the administration at Washington for months. Europe has been slowly drifting toward a state of utter eoliapse. The first thing that started ' her upon the way was the base betrayal by America of her Allies. "The chicks are certainly coming home to roost." "For more than two months the economic recovery of the world has hinged upon the settlement of rep arations. The deadlock has con tinued so long that England and France have slowly, drifted apart. Now we have the spectacle of France ' joining hands with the Turk against England. The Turk was smart enough to see that his hour had come. All of Central Eu rope is on the verge of bankruptcy. There has been no cohesive action with the Allies' since the United States abandoned them.' "The longer developing events cast the light of truth upon the in ternational situation/ the plainer it will be that the international pol icies of this administration has been criminal in their neglect." cotton''' growth in india Washington, Sept. 24?Produc tion of 3.300.000 bales of coton in India ard l.OOO.v.O'O bales in -Egypt is indicated by reports received by the Department of Agriculture.

M. Whitsitt, of: j the Carolina Company, have been, j in correspondence on the subject j j with Thomas B.

I [Moss, investigator of the bureau of' i plant industry of the depart- j j mont. has been to Charleston to! examine condition's as to their suit- : (ability for tobacco concentration! jand storage. Mr. Moss is now preparing his ? report to Secretary Wallace and! i the Secretary has written the fol- ( {lowing letter to Senator Smith 1 i pending the filing of his report: j. "Dear Senator Smith: I beg to ! ? acknowledge receipt of your let-j j ter of the 3d instant making in-j j quiry as to whether tobacco stored 1 j in the port of Charleston, S. C, j would become infested with worms | j and suffer deterioration. It is the 1 j opinion of the specialists of the de-f I partment to whom the matter has | I been referred that with proper care ' ! tobacco could be safely stored in j j the city of Charleston. The tobac jco would be subject to the aC.ack ! j of the tobacco beetle. This beetle j is practically cosmopolitan and co lours wherever large quantities of i leaf or baled tobacco are handled j ! or stored. J "Although the greatest loss oc ;curs in the Gulf states, consider ?able damage is caused by this j beetle in the more Northern states.. !To insure against loss from this ?insect the tobacco should be in ispected for the presence of the beetles. If free from infestation \ it may be stored in a clean, screen- i ed wareholse. If infested, it should j be treated-by fumigation or heut [ to destroy' the insect. "Tobacco in storage is also sub- \ ject to injury from mold, must, j ! souring and other forms of deter- j jioration, dependent primarily on I and state of the tobacco when l placed in storage, and the tem-.| jperature and moisture conditions i j in the warehouse. It is believed j that tobacco which has been prop- j jerly conditioned before packing in:] j the hogshead could be stored in j j Charleston without danger of such j deterioration, provided necessary |safeguard,y are taken as to the lo cation and' construction of the [ warehouse. A location on the wa j ter front or. on wet, poorly. ; drained ground is undesirable and ; ithe construction of the warehouse ! should be such as will afford ade-j fquate, ventilation as weli as pro jection from the weather. I "Sincerely yours, I "Henry C. Wallace, Secretary.*' I The idea is that the warehouses { I at the great government terminal ! ' at North Charleston could be used j for tobacco. Local interests be i lieve that the necessary conditions [ are met there, notwithstanding -the j fact that the warehouse is near j the water front, because it is "high . and dry" and situated similarly to ? warehouses in ' use for this same j purpose at other seaports. j INJUNCTION IN j RAILROAD CASE !

The decision was hailed as one ; of the most significant for law and I order ever read into the records of i the judiciary by Attorney General i Daugherty and Assistant Attorney I General A. A.

TWO COWMBIA * White Men Arrested For Kill-1 lag of Taxi ?river Columbia. Sept. 25.? Andrew j Roberts and Jesse Copper, two Co- < lunibia white men, are under ar-! rest, and official's here are con-? tinning their investigations of the j murder of a negro taxi driver, C. j R.; Cannon, in March, 1921, which [ is considered among the coldest murders perpetrated hereabouts in j recent years. The men were ar rested last week and they have confessed to the crime, after much grilling by the officers. , The negro car driver was found dead on the morning of March 9\ 1921. his body sitting up in the j front seat of his car, a bullet j wound in his back. Each of the j men taken by the officers here has I made a statement implicaing the] other, and each blames the other ! with firing the fatal shot. They relate how they hired the man to take them on a ride for liquor. Not finding the liquor at their first point of destination, they proceed ed further. At the end of their journey they found that the taxi fare - was $15, in accordance with the arrangement made with the driver. Not having funds with which io meet the obligation, the whiskey hunt, from which they' hoped to realize funds, having fail .ed, they put the driver out of the< way. The officers are confident they will be able to determine ] which of the men fired the fatari shot. Roberts is in the state pen- j ilentiary, serving a . recently im- j posed 9-months sentence for lar- j ceny. Pisgah News and Views, Pisgah, Sept. 25.?It looks as if' we will have a dry fall.
