One of the Washington highbrows
is out with the statement that 10 cents
a pound is a sufficient wholesale price
for sugar and that therefore 11 cents
should be an ample retail price. Un
fortunately 10 cents isn’t the whole

could not be sold for 11 cents retail
with freight rates under government
operation of railroads what they are.

through the fleshy part of the hand,
between the thumb and first finger
Monday afternoon. Mr. Doughty is
the father of Mrs. Leon Tompkins
residing south of Inman, and it was
while on a visit here that the accident

which slipped from his hands, the
trigger striking the edge of the rack
discharging the weapon. Dr. Noyes

duties on the road Tuesday morning.
Last week, when the senate defeat
ed the League of Nations covenant,
the president threatened to take the
issue to the people in next year’s cam
paign. Evidently the president spoke
without first consulting with those of
his advisors who have had their ears
to the ground, for when Senator Lodge
announced soon .after that the senate
probably would not take any new
action on the treaty at the coming
term, but would submit it to the
people at the election he promptly
was scored by he president’s mouth
pieces as playing politics. Having
ascertained that the treaty, if submit
ted to the people, would stand about as
much chance of ratification as a snow
ball would on the equator, the wise
acres have decided that the question
is far too important to be submitted
to the base-passioned rabble. Com
romise, which it now appears the pres
ident alyays favored, well be endeav
ored at the coming session, else the
heart of the world, which is breaking,
go entirely “bust.”
I^ast week, while the big oratorical
guns of the United States senate were
thundering about the peace treaty and
the league of nations, and the railroad
experts in the lower house of congress
were learnedly discussing the railroad
bill, Congressman William W. Larsen
of Beckley county, Georgia, happened
to recollect that it is getting close to
election time. He also bethought
himself that one of his constituents
owned a Duroc Jersey boar pig that
won a first place in the national swine
show at Omaha. Recollecting these
things, the congressman laid his chew
of tobaco on his desk, rose to a ques
tion of personal privilege and while
the league of nations and the rail
road bill hung in the balance modestly
asked leave to xtend his remarks in
the record. He hadn’t made any re
marks, but nevertheless (permission
was granted to extend them, and Mr.
Larsen sure extended. His extended
remarks appear in the Congressional
Record of Friday, November 14, and
in them Larsen discourses solely on
the resources of Bleckley county and
its champion boar pig. His speech
as extended is a literary gem that
would make a real estate prospectus
writer turn green with envy, for that
is just what it is—a real estate pros
pectus. Congressman Larsen should
receive the vote of every real estate
man in Georgia dealing in Bleckley
county lands, for the speech ns a part
of the record may now be printed in
pamphlet form at government ex
pense and mailed out by the real es
tate men under the congressman's
franking permit. Nebraska congress
men please take notice.
ATKINSON HAY DEALERS
WANT CARS
Nebraska State Journal: Hay
dealers of Atkinson filed a warm pro
test with the state railway commis
sion Monday against the Northwestern
railroad. They say they have orders
in for cars that are not filled and cars
that are loaded are not being moved.
While they are languishing for cars
Newport and Stuart, rival shipping
stations, get what they desire. They
have complained to the division super
intendent, but the promised relief
does not appear. They would like to
have the commission issue an order
giving preference to the men with the
most hay to ship.
