What War Has Done for South
ern Farmers.
There has been a revolution in
Southern farming: conditions in
the past few years. It began be
fore the war, but the most start
linn changes have been brought
about since Uncle Sam took a
hand in the great world conflict.
The South through this revo
lution, has thrown off the shack
les that fetter the one crop coun
try. It has become one of the
greatest food producing sections
of the country. Instead of send
its monev to other sections to pav
for food stuffs, the South is now
feeding itself and keeping its
monev at home.
A real conception of the tre
mendous changes that have taken
place recently can be obtained
only through a comprehensive
review of the new conditions,
based upon facts and figures
The Weekly is presenting such
a review on another page of this
issue. You wtll find it Jull of
very interesting information
The figures that it presents are
authoritative, coming from the
United States department of ag
riculture.
Don't fail to turn to this article.
which appears under the head
ing "Near Miracle Wrought on
Southern Farms."
The Great Achievement.
wood row Wilson was more
highly honored by the? peoples of
the Old World, whose cause he
championed when they were in
the throes of impending disaster
than any other man who has ever
visited any section of the earth.
He went to represent the ideal ot
a world league of nations to in
sure a world peace, the creation
of his own big heart and stupen
dous brain. His wonderful rhet
oric and the magnetism of his
more wonderful personality made
his ideal a tentative reality so far
as consent of the delegates of the
peace conference was concerned.
His self poise and confidence
that the plan he proposed would
stand the test of feasibility swepi
the conference off its feet and
prevailed.
He has returned to this coun
try bearing the embodiment of
his idealism in a world constitu
tion that has been endorsed bvi
the exponents of the best intelh
gence of more than half of Un
civilized world. He now con
fronts his own .countrymen for
their endorsement of his great
achievement, and must test the
American pulse and procure the
unqualified sanction of the great
people he represents before he
can commit t'i country to the
agreement wlii ;i has been pro
posed that it become a polinc.il '
unit ot a world republic.
Tin-? American people arc
proud of Mr. Wilson and h ive
confidence in his statesmanship
and prophetic vision, but whether
thtf plan that has been proposed
by the 1e uue of nations which
modifies their right to remain
sole arbiters of tiie future destiny
of their country cannot at ihis
time be determined.
After this campaign of public
ity has progressed, and Ameiiean
freemen know exactly what is
proposed and how it will at feet
their destiny as a free people, it
will become evident whether or
not they are willing to subscribe
to the terms of thi-. !Mue of na
tions. In the meantime, it is the
duty of every American citizen
to first understand what is pro
posed, and then to do his own
thinking, for the destiny of the
lowliest of us all, as well as the
class higher up, is involved in
the plan.
The Mid Continent Congress.
Rev. K. L. Crystal was ap
pointed by Mayor j. M. Acker as
a delegate to represent Aberdeen
at the Mid Continent Congress
for a league of nations, to be
held in Atlanta, Ga., February
27 2S. He left for that city Wed
tiesday morning.
This is one of a series of Con
gresses to be held at various
cities under the auspices ot the
League to enforce peace. It is
intended to influence popular
sentiment to an alliance of na
tions into a league that will en
force peace, as was proposed by
the Peace Conference at Ver
sailles. Ex-President Taft, Alton B.
Parker and other national polit
ical celebrities are officers of the
league. A wave of popular
opinion and enlightenment is
sought to be put in motion bv
these congresses that will sweep
the adoption of the League of
Nations to an early consumma
tion.
Antagonism to the idea is ac
live in almost every section of
the country. To neutralize this
antagonism is sought to be ac
complished before any agree
ment among nations can- be
realized.
The League is represented to
be imperative to meet new world
conditions. It is not compre
bended enough by people gener
any io pass intelligently upon
whether the advocates of the
league are right in their rcpre
sentations or not. The people
are waiting for the light that will
lead them and dispose their judg
ment on this, the greatest of all
world questions.

to construct the im-
Aoepieen lias con- j
miiders that have been
preferred to lo tin' building at thi
place heretofore, always haying been
lower in bids than outride compet
itors. It has been the policy of
building committees to give them
the preference where bids were
about equal. This has been a com
mendable policy; because the money"
spent in the construction is paid to
workmen who live here and kept at
home. Besides, the home contrac
tor takes a native pride in doing
just ;i little more than the specifica
tions; call for.
Lt. Lee M. Russell, candidate for
governor of Mi.-issippi, has opened

For that yer3r reason you need good tires, now,

The out-and-out dependability that created so
tremendous a demand for United States Tires in

It reduces tire troubles to the vanishing point
