Senator Johnson, of California,
who has been regarded as an opponent
to the League of Nations, has
come out in a statement endorsing
President Wilson's attitude toward
Italy and Japan. He said, "The present
is the supreme test of the profession
of our purposes which the President
has so often voiced."
Herbert Hoover, who is in charge
of the food distribution in Europe,
sent a message to Germany to tlu:
effect that unless the strikes and disorders
in that country ceased they
might find their food supply cut off.
He did not propose to send food over
there that might be seized by rioters.
The better class of German papers
approve of Mr. Hoover's ultimatum.
Have you read that letter from
Middendorf? Then read it at once,
from start to finish. The writer was
afraid she was using too much space.
But if she only knew how hungry this
paper is for just such letters! We
want the news not only of the little
goings and comings, but the real
news?what are your people thinking?
In the meantime, keep your eye
on Middendorf. The spirit of progress
is stirring down there. When a
community like that begins to think
and talk education the future for
the boys and girls begins at once to
grow brighter.
RICE DIDN'T FLY
The first person in Louisville, Kentucky,
to ask permission to make a
flight with Victory Loan aviators was
a lady. Amo"ng others who wanted
to fly was Cole Ygung Rice, whose
wife is the author of "Mrs. Wiggs of
the Cabbage Patch." He coupled
with his request, however, the proviso
that he would not fly without his
wife's consent. He didn't fly.
HOW OUR SHIPS WERE SAVED
There were some things that could
not be told while the war was in progress,
but they are coming out now.
One of the most important of these
was an invention called "paravane,"
to protect the allied ships from the
German mines that were sown in the
' " ' ' vesthe
ich
er.
led
de-!
tips
in
und
oss
of
in
France.
The paravene is described as a
metal cylinder, twelve feet long,
weighing 1425 pounds. Each paravane
was fitted with a set of teeth
which cut the mine mooring as easily
as a knife cuts a piece of cheese.
The mine thus released from its anchorage,
would come to the surface,
and was destroyed. The towing cable
of each paravane was about fifty-six
yards long, so ample sway was pro- ,
vided for catching a mine.
The Germans were kept guessing'
. . /,
iTT.V -Hiriniiu I
but they could not ftnd out what it Ui
| was that seemed to give the Allied
ships a charmed life. Not even the
pro-Germans in the United States, vt
the spies that were numerous and a
vigilant, were able to discover the
secret, so well was the envention ^
i guarded.
Some noted English engineers ***
came to this country and joined the BP
the American engineers in preparing V
for the production of the paravanes 'n
on a large scale, which reached its ?
highest mark in the early part of
1918.
A German mine off the coast of J
Maryland would have destroyed the dt
American superdreadnaugh North 01
Carolina, had it not been for the
use by that vessel of the paravane.
The Germans had the reputation of
being great inventors and discoverers, 1
particularly of poison gas and meth- 81
ods of torture, but they were not cr
able to discover what it was that ^
made their mines useless.
There will be a great many afterthe-wa
revelations but none, perhaps,
of more importance than the
paravane.

THE BIVOUAC OF THE DEAD ,1
The muffled drum's sad roll has beat ^
The soldier's last tattoo;
No more on Life's parade shall meet
That brave and alien few. q.
On Fame's eternal camping-ground aj
Their silent tents are spread,
And Glory guards, with solemn round,
The bivouac of the dead. cj
No rumor of the foe's advance
Now swells upon the wind; di
No troubled thought at midnight ai
haunts le
Of loved ones left behind; _
No vision of the morrow's strife
The warrior's dream alarms;
No braying horn nor screaming fife
At dawn shall call to arms.
Their shivered swords are red with
rust;
Their plumed heads are bowed;
Their hauty banner, trailed in dust,
Is now their martial shroud.
And plenteous funeral tears have
washed
The red stains from each brow,
And the proud forms, by battle
gashed,
Are free from anguish now.
The neighing troop, the flashing
blade,
The bugle's stirring blast,
The charge, the dreadful cannonade,
The din and shout, are past;
Nor war's wild note, nor glory's peal,
Shall thrill with fierce delight
Those breasts that nevermore may
feel
The rapture of the light.
Rest on, embalmed and sainted dead!
Dear as the blood ye gave;
No impious footstep here shall tread
The herbage of your grave;
Nor shall your story be forgot,
While Fame her record keeps,
Or Honor points the hallowed spot
Where Valor proudly sleeps.
Yon marble minstrel's voiceless stone
In deathless song shall tell.
When many a vanished age hath
flown,
The story how ye fell;
Nor wreck, nor change, nor winter's
blight,
Nor time's remorseless doom,
Shall dim one ray of glory's light
That gilds your deathless tomb.
?Theodore O'llara.

How Indians Foolod tko Hun*.
. Because of the nature of the country
ever which the American troops
fought in the Meuse-Argonne offensive,
the Germans found it easy at
times on our field telephone wires.
The commander of our brigade of
artillery attached to an American'
division was particulary annoyed by
enemy wire tappers jn a heavilywooded
section of Argonne. Code
messages from artillery observers
were being intercepted by boch listeners-in
and the commander knew
as all armies know, that no code is
impregnable when experts get work-1
ing on it. *
The artillery commander took up
with the colonels one of the line regiments
the question of Huns' wirctapning
activities. And the colonel
hit upon an idea.
Two Indians, both of proud Sioux
lineage, members of one of his companies,
were assigned as telephone
operators. One was to go foward
vith the artillery observer, the other
to remain at the brigade-receiving
end of the wire which the artillery
was certain the Germans had
that day tapped somewhere along the
line.
Now, when two Sioux Indians get
talking together in their own tongue
what they say sounds very much like
code, but isn't. Anyway it raised hob
with the code experts of certain Prussian
units.
The Sioux stuck on their jobs for
three days and nights. They and the
artillery commander and their own
colonel enjoyed the situation immensely.
If the Germans got any fun out
of it they kept it to themselves.

SURPRISING FACTS.
STATEMENTS OF FARMER!
South Realize* It* Future I* I
8take and Must Act
Accordingly.
Mr. J. Skottowe Wannamake
chairman of the South Carolina Co
ton Association, upon the request (
a well known mngazlne that he fu
nish them with a statement "sliowin
the cost of cotton to the South," ser
them the following article:
Cost of Cotton to the South.
First, as to the cost of cotton t
the South, I have estimated the coi
of cotton to the South includes th
following:
1. The production of cotton cost th
South slavery.
2. It caused the War Between th
States.
3. The production of cotton ha
brought slave labor. Regardless of th
fact that cotton is a hand-made pro<
net, a price has been established o
i - v- -
tuuui t UII UIO UUHIH UL nlaTC'laDU
from which price it has never bee
removed.
4. It caused the South to beconi
cotton slaves.
6. It caused the South to merely e:
ist; denying to the producers the n<
cessities and comforts of life.
6. To produce cotton and exist i
the price paid for it by the manipi
'or necessitated the estahllshmer
of starvation wages in the Soutl
which exist even unto today.
7. It has caused the illiteracy (
the South, through the manipulation
of the cotton bears.
5. It has caused the impoverishmer
and pauperism of the South.
9. The production of cotton hs
caused the bad roads of the Soutl
through the impoverishment of th
producer by the manipulator.
10. It has driven fVom the rur:
communities the white man, who i
no longer contented to eke ont nn e;
istenee; to deny to himself and h:
family the comforts and necessities <
life; to work without a fair remuner
tion.
11. It Is even driTlng the negi
away; fco has received a new vision
he is no longer satisfied with his u
comfortable surroundings; he Is insu
ficiently clothed.
Has Made Other Sections Prospereu
12. It has made other sections
the country prosperous; it has fa
tened the bears and manipulators <
the North; It has blessed mankind 1
every spot of the globe where th
sun shines except In the South, whei
It has proved a curse.
IS. The production of cotton in tl
Sonth today has caused the descen
ants of the people who fought I
break the chains of physical slavei
from the black man to fight for tl
purpose of forging the chains <
slavery, of poverty, of Illiteracy r
the women and children working
the cotton fields, both white ar
black, still tighter.
14. Tt hart filled the grave-yards
the South with men, women and 1
tie children who existed and psss<
away without necessities, comfor
and education.
18. It hae created one of the grei
eat gambling hells on thia glohe. tl
New York Cotton Exchange. exten
In* Its damnable and blighting m
nlpulationn and schemes througho
our nation; fattening and prosperli
the gamhlers and mantpnlators on tl
life-blood of the toiler.
16. The production of cotton in tl
South has caused the producer to 1
come a commercial cannibal, this 1
lng abnohitMy necessary to est at
him to exist. He has destroyed t
forestry, fleeced his soil of its f?
tllltv; existed on his natural asset
denying to himself and bis fami
reasonable hours of work and prop
working conditions; a decent horn
the opportunity to play and to leai
17. H has caused child labor In t
South. It has caused the women ai
children of the South, both white ai
black, to perform not onlv labor, i
gardless of hours, bnt even to p<
form the manual labor of tilling t
soil with the plow. (White worn
and colored women can bo seen plo
ing the cotton fields of the Soul
with little barefooted childfen pit
ding along behind them, scatter!
compost, and performing their wo
from the break of day to the twi'tg

18. It has caused the producer
cotton to go without the neressa

than four cotton undorsults?one 1

As to the Coet of Production of Colt
In the South.
I requested the TT in D. IT IToust*
Secretary of Agriculture, to furni
me with a detailed statement show!
the cost of production of cotton
the South for the year 191S He h
Just telegraphed me as follows:

It is a pleasant, vegetable "rn

provide basts for estimate in few
weeks. Would be glad for your association
to select committee of three,
to be in Washington April 21, for
special conference on factors to be
considered in estimating cost of producing
cotton."
For the purpose of estimating the
cost of production by the producer,
by the experienced business man and
by the experienced banker, T have
selected various men from our Btate.
The result is aptly furnished by the
- following statements, which are In
w line with the various statements received.
These statements are from
three men of unquestioned veracity,
' 9ne business judgment, long business
,x experience and men who have been
actively engaged in farming for over
a quarter of a century; men who
would not purposely make a misleadr,

t- ' satisfied it would result in assisting

Cost of Production Illustrated on a

it The production of this farm is tased
e on a ten-year average production of
Calhoun county.
ie I have been farming for thirtv-flvb
years, and have also been actively en;G
gaged in cotton for the piest ten years.
All past years must be left out of any
tR calculation in finding the cost of the
[Q 1919 crop, for the reason that all values
have advanced out of all reason,
n Labor and fertilizers coat three times
r, as much as they Aid at the beginning
n of the war.
The calculations herein are made
,e with the actual cotton planted on this
one-horse farm, and the expenses are
i- figured only for the actual working
e- period, my only object being to And
out what it will actually cost to proit
duce a pound of cotton. The owner of
ii- this farm gets nothing for himself out
it of this farm except his profit of $96.fin
and he will not get this profit if hir
cotton is damaged by storm or otherif
wise and is reduced in grade, also prois
virled he gets thirty cents for his cotton
and $00 for his seed. I have not
it charged this farm with any expense
for hoeing. T expect the plowman to
have time to do this work.

I have been engaged In farming
for the past thirty years and am 1
thoroughly familiar with the cost of
production being now extensively engaged
in farming, and also thoroughly*
familiar with same as a merchant!
selling fertilisers and supplies, having
been extensively engaged in the
mercantile business for the past thirty
years.
The above Is a correct statement
illustrating the eo3t of production of
cotton. T. A. Amaker.
Referring Beck to #e Cost of Cotton
to the 8outh.
Cotton production has cost the
South all that I have said and a vast
amount more. The cost is so great
that it would require the judgment of
God Almighty to render a decision
a to what cotton has actually coat
the South. No mortal man can make
the estimate.
Henry Grady more than thirty-one
years ago delivered a speech in New
England, which made a more lasting
impression possibly on the country ^
than any one speech ever delivered
by any human being. The production
of cotton in the South has prevented
his prediction from coming true. He
said in part:
"When every farmer in the South
shall eat bread from his own fields
and meat from his own pastures and
disturbed by no creditor, and enslaved
by no debt, shall sit amid his teeming
gardens, and orchards and vineyards,
and dairies and barnyards, pitching
his crop in his wisdom and growing
them in independence, making cotton
his clean surplus, and selling it in his
own time, and in his chosen market,
and not at a master's bidding?getting
his pay in cash and not in a receipted
mortgage that discharges his
debt, but does not restore his freedom?then
shall be breaking the fullness
of our day."
The cost of production of cotton In
the South has made the loyad American
citizen realize that it ie abso
lutely necessary for him in carrying
out his pledge to help make the world
safe for democracy, to help in every
way possible, using every ounce ol
energy at his command to help improve
conditions in the South, so that
it will be a fit place for people to ^avK'live
in. He has made this decision '
cause he realizes, first, that It is hi^S

While the coward stands aside.
Doubting in hia abject spirit,
Till bis Lord is crucified."
