Gone are the days of 40c cotton,
bat along with them went 30c sugar,
$20 shoes, and a few of their intimate
acquaintances as well. The world
isn't half so bad as she loofcs on a
cloudy day.
The Elkfrof San ^.ntonio are going:
to build a new $350,000 theatre, big
enough to accomodate the big
theatrical organizations of the country
something that San Antonio nor
Houston either, have heretofore
been able to do. In drawing
big shows to San Antonio they will
also draw a lot of trade from the
territory surrounding.
I've never been to Robstown, but
1 know its a "regular" town, made up
of regular honest-to-goodness live
wires. They've got a Commercial
Club there that's a humer, and they've
just got through landing a big $500,000
textile mill for their town. The other
day they decided to make arrange-
ments for financing their Commercial
Club for the coming year, and in a
few hours solicitation among the
business men, $5,600.00 was subscrib-
ed for the good cause. The
Robstown Record says "if our city is
building too fast for sofhe of our
moss backs then it is time for them to
hunt a cross-roads place in which to
abide".

CUT COTTON COST
BY MAKING FOOD
Southern form Prosperity Absolutely
Dependent on Cutting Produc-
tion Cost Through Food-
Making and Saving.
HPi
' ■r
Atlanta, <3a.—(Special.)—"A right-
about-face movement in 1921 is neces-
sary it the farmers of the South are
to get on safe,' firm ground again,"
said H. G. Hastings, President of the
great Southeastern Fair.
"It looks as if we all went cotton
crazy last spring, despite all the dan-
ger signals flying and the disregard
of plain facts as to costs of cotton
production. We have repeated our fol-
lies of 1911 and 1914 and piled up
debts based on costly food and grain
to be paid for by cotton that is now
feeiow cost of production.
""With few exceptions those items
of food and grain could and should
have been produced on home acres
at one-third to one-half what the sup-
ply merchant charges for them. *
"Cotton is the one best money crop
for the South, and probably always
will be. The titiie of war prices ia
over and the problem from now on is
to lower cost of production and at the
aame time afford the cotton grower a
fair profit
"Cost of making cotton is primarily
the cost of food, grain and forag«
tor the farmer, his family, his labor-
er? or tenants, and his work stock.
Catting food, grain and forage costs
by home production will reduce cot-
ton eoctl from one-third to One-half.
"Plant tor an abundance of food,
grain and forage, thus cutting down
store bills, and lower prices for
cotton wiU not hurt *© much. We can-
not/ with European .so thor-
oughly disorganized, reasonably expect
high prices for cotton for several year*
end we jnuet make cotton at lowejr
cost, or else quit cotton growing,
"Most oC as cannot quit v cotton,
hence the abasftfte necessity of food,
grain and forage planting in 1921—
the making on how* acres of every
pound of food and grate ®wded to see
us through.
"In this food production program,
take the home vegetable garden seri-
ously. Give the home garden a square
deal and it Will surprise you in the
amount of healthful food produced. It
takes the least ground, can be plant*
«d the earliest, brings qutek returns
*nd If kept replanted and worked will
ftay by yea ail the season through."
Mansfield Says
"Farmer Is The
Goat"--And Why
(By J. J. Mansfield.)
The Farmers Emergency
Tariff bill which recently passed
the House, seems doomed to "die
aborning" in tt^e Senate; at
least it so appears at this time-
Still appearances often change
over night in Washington. The
bill was opposed from the be-
ginning by party leaders, and
this opposition was manifest at
both ends of the Capitol and in
both political parties. Senator
Penrose, Chairman of the Com
mfttee in the Senate to whom
the bill was referred, arose
from his sick couch in Philadel-
phia to come to Washington for
the purpose of defeating it, but
after arriving here experienced
a change of heart (?). His com^
mittee then very tenderly cov-
ered the bill with bouquets of
amendments, evidently prepar-
ing for the appropriate observ-
ance of its obsequies.
When the bill was under prep-
aration by the Ways and Means
Committee, a non-partisan
caucus of House members was
held, presided over by Mr.
Knutsen, Republican whip. Mr.
Young of North Dakota, a mem-
ber of the Ways and Means
Committee, reported to this
caucus the schedules the com-
mittee had agreed upon. They
included a levy upon the impor-
tation of cattle, but ndthing said
as to dressed beef or hides.
Upon my motion, the caucus
decided in favor of a tax upon
those articles, and Mr. Young
was requested to so inform the
Ways and Means Committee.
Mr. Garner led in an effort to
have them included, but the
Chairman and ranking Repub-
lican members of the Committee
gave the proposition a death
knell. Upon the floor of the
House I again offered my amend-
ment for dressed beef, and
Mr. Blanton offered one for
hides, but both went out under
point of order raised by Mr.
Longworth.
A tax upon livestock is in-
significant from any point of
view as very few are being im-
ported. Canada and Mexico are
the only countries from which
they can reasonably be brought
in upon the hoof, and those coun-
tries have but few to spare. On
the other hand, a tax upon
dressed beef and hides would
provide an immense amount of
revenue and afford incidental
protection to the cattle raisers
of the United States.
The defeat of this tax was a
victory for the packers, who im-
"portedjduring the first 10 months
of thisjyearlfrom their establish-
ments in South America 174,-
426,999 pound of frozen beef and
468,352,974 pounds of hides.
All this was brought; in free of
duty, under the supposition that
the consumers would get the
benefit of cheap meats and
leather. This, however, was
evidently overlooked by some-
one, as the price of beef steaks
and shoes have been the highest
ever known. The tax upon rice,
po'a'oes, pe snu's and vegetable
oils wjn ah b" of interest to the
famers of South Texas and also
prove revenue producers.
The northeast is ujd in arms
against this bill. The people of
that section have become so ac-
customed to buying in a free
market and Killing in a protect
ed markfet that they have long
since learned to look upon it as
a Divine right. When protective
tariffs can be so evenly distribut-
ed as to fall with equal force
upon every section, the whole
system will then fall by virtue
of its own gravitation. The
farmer has heretofore been the
goat. Why not let the other fel-
low try the "butting" act for
awhile?
Armenian President
Asks American Aid
Erivan, Ar-
menia : Dr. H.
O h a ndjanian,
President of
the Armenian
Republic, has
sent an urgent
cablegram to

eral Secretary
of the Near
East Relief, 1

New York City,
requesting im

ance to prevent
the starvation of the Armenian peo-
ple before the next harvest can be
gathered. President Ohandjaniari's
message reads:
"Owing to hail, rain and field
mice, the harvest in Armenia fell
below expectations. Standing crops
appeared well, but owing to poor
seed, returns were not as good as
was expected. - Maximum returns
140,000 tons, only sufficient for eight
months for one and a half million
people. Food crisis critical and in-
tensified by new Turkish Invasion
of Armenia. It is estimated that
100,000 peaceful inhabitants of
Sarikamish and Kars region have
been forced to renew the life of
refugees and flee towards the in-
terior of Armenia. There are also
large numbers fleeing from Bolshe-
viks In Azerbaijan and Southern
Russia, and coming to Armenia.
Farmers, fearing famine, are un-
willing to sell crops, thus leaving
the cities foodless. In addition to
the Armenian crops, ten thousand
tons have been purchased from
neighboring countries.
"In order to save Armenia it is
necessai-y to secure flour , from
America, 50,000 tons, maximum re-
quirement. In the name of the Ar-
menian Government and the Arme-
nian People, I beg that you use
your wide influence in order that
the Near East Relief may secure
and ship the flour needed. I am
sure that in this serious crisis the
Near East Relief will not fail to
continue its aid to Armenia in her
struggle for existence.
"H. OHANDJANIAN,
"President sof Armenia."
NEVER TOO LATE
By JENNIE LITTLE.
GOB DESCRIBES
ARMENIAN HORRORS
Ton can't realize what a sight It is
to see the refugee cr.mp at Batum,"
Petty Officer George Porter, of Racine,
Wis., writes his family, telling of the
work of the Near East Relief in the
ports along the Black Sea.
"The people are dying off little by
little. There are workers of the relief
organization here, but they don't seem
to be able to take care of them all.
They werp the ones that made the
camp. The families all live in grass
huts, just high enough to sit ap in, and
GEORGE PORTER.
they are covered with blankets. There
Is disease everywhere and the smell is
terrible. I'm glad we didn't stay long,
as I couldn't stand it, and you know
when I can't stand anything there are
few that can. I am sorry for these
refugees, but we can't help any. They
don't want money though they would
sell their lives for some clothes and
food. They don't stop praising the
Americans.
"Trebizonde was another Arme-
nian town, but it was completely
wiped out by the Turks, who are now
in control of It. The Turks massacred
all the Armenians over fifteen years
o" age and kept all under that age
to bring them up as Turks. The cit/
looked as if it was shot to pieces.
Samsoun is the same as Trebi-
zonde, so you can see what kind
of country we are travelling through.
I am sure glad that we are leaving
Russia and Armenia because I am sick
of what I have seen. I think that these
tourists who are trying to see ravished
Armeplfl Will be sorry they ever came
over. These relief workers are nearly
dead from work. They are the people
who can tell the U. S. something about
this country."
The Near East Relief, 1 Madison
Ave., New York, is now appealing for
funds to continue the-work so graphi-
cally described by the young American
Miior,
(©, 1920, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
A comely woman, nearing middle-
age, stepped out on the little cottage
porch and shaded her eyes from the
morning sun, that she might look deep-
er and farther into the budding green
mysteries of a perfect day. As her
gaze wandered appreciably from the
distant hills to the nearer meadows
and orchards, their peace seemed re-
flected in her face. But when she
glanced down at her own garden a
quick frown accompanied an impa-
tient exclamation, "That pesky dog
again! I declare it's enough to pro-
voke a saint, which I never claimed
to be. If there's one thing on earth
more bothersome than another, it's
neighbors who don't care two pins for
other people's comfort."
Once upon a time before Miss Ly-
dia's coming, the path from her steps
had run directly through that yard and
the next, ending at the adjoining
house and was a well-worn trail. But
a little cloud had appeared on the
friendly horizon, at first no bigger
than a man's hand, and grew to such
proportions that the spite fence had
appeared to stop all intercourse.
However, two young folks lived on
either side, and love laughs at fences
as well as locksmiths, so just where
the big maple stretched its branches^
over the top an almost Invisible gate
had been made and many a night had
the lovers found it an ideal trysting
place. But this was years ago and the
original owners had moved far away.
The gate was fitted now with latch
and hinges, but she had never used it,
as the next house had been empty un-
til lately and then she had been dis-
appointed to leari^ that it was only
a lone -bachelor who had taken the
farm.
But today with sudden determina-
tion she picked up the broken tulips
and started down the path. Meantime
her neighbor, happily unconscious of
trouble, and feeling at peace with
every man, went whistling to the barn.
Round the corner whisked a large cat,
holding a chicken in its mouth and
disappeared through the very hole un-
der the fence that the mischievous
pnp had used. "Drat that cat!" cried
the farmer, "there goes another of my
best Plymouth Rocks. This thing is
going to be stopped right now!" and
he too strode down the path toward
the gate, stepping 'through it just as
Miss Lydia was about to reach for the
latch. "Dear me!" was her startled
thought, "it's himself. Now's my
chance!" though her courage was go-
ing fast, for she was a shy soul. "She's
the one this interview's coming to,"
ran Farmer John's mind, "for I saw
her petting that ornery cat one day,"
and simultaneously they spoke.
"Ma'am, that cat of yours—"
"Sir, your dog—•"
Then they broke off In blank amaze-
ment. A long stare, and again they
cried in unison:
"John!"
"Lyddy!"
"How in the world?—"
"What on earth?—"
And s stopped again, for want of
breath, seemingly. If so, John was the
first to recover it.
"Lyddy—tell me, have you been'liv-
ing here all these long years? I left
home the day after we quarreled, just
to make you sorry; but I was- sure you
would send for me to come back. And
when I'd waited as long as I could
stand it, and was starting home, I had
a long spell of sickness that mighty
near kept me from ever seeing old
Barlow again. And when I did get
there, nobody knew where you were.
I went away to work again and was
lucky. This spring I got tired of It
all and bought this farm for a change.
Just now your cat caught another
•chicken, and I was coming over .to—
Lyddy, are you married?"
Lydia's face flamed like a pink
peony. "Why, no, John. You see, ma's
health never was good in Barlow, so
when an old aunt left her this little
place she wanted to try the country
air. And I was secretly grieving over
you, John, and wanted to come where
nobody knew me; so we just quietly
moved away off here; and when ma
died at last I just stayed on. I hadn't
Inquired your name of anyone, and
was coming to tell you how your dog^
was spoiling my garden."
"Lyddy," said John softly, "do you
remember the night of the big sleigh-
ing party, when you and I promised
to be pals for life? Look, I've carried
this with me always."
I And he produced from his pocket-
book a funny little tintype that she
had given him on that occasion.
"Will you give me a chance to make
up for all we've missed since then?
'Twas all my fault we quarreled."
"No, mine, too, for I was stubborn,"
was the quick reply; "but oh, we're
too old to marry now."
"Old!—you?" cried, John. "You look
sixteen to me, and that's a fact. And
dldu't our old copy books say that it's
never too late to mend?
"Well, I don't know," twinkled Ly-
dia ; "strikes me we were quite ready
to follow up that cat and dog af-
fair."
"Bless them both!" cried John. "I
wouldn't part with that pup now for
a fortune; but he shall learn to leave
flowers alone, Lyddy, if you'll just
come and plant them in my garden al-
ways."
go the little gate was left wide open,
till Lydia one bright day went through
and stayed on the other side as Mrs.
