LARGEST CIRCULA IlON IN THE COUNTY!
THE WAK CRIMINALS
It must be plain to everybody that
the German courts will not mete out
adequate punishment to those Ger
man army officers who were accus
ed of brutal and unwarranted meth
ods during the world war. A score
or more of officers have been tried,
ranging in rank from major down
to sergeant. There have been only
two or three convictions,and in the-e
cases only nominal sentences have
been imposed.
Coming at this time, when the
world has been wanting to believe
that Germany would act in good
faith in carrying out the paece term
this is more than ever unfortunate.
It will delay for a longer period of
time the feeling of forgiveness if
one of forgetfulness which is so bad
ly needed.
The world will always believe that
German officials caused the war, hut
there has been a general hope that
the German people will suffer from
it for generations to come,. It is
a pit/ that this is true bu*. it is
A NEW MONEY CKOl
The potato bids lair to soon be
come an important money crop for
the south. Modern warehouses en
able the farmers to keep their pota
toes in prime condition long aftei
they ni\e nren taken from the
giound, while the co-cperative mar
keting associations assure stable
maikets at fair prices.
Sweet potatoes are grown to a lim
ited extent only ir the north and
west and east, and even where it h
growl, the qua'ity is inferior.
The sweet potato only reaches per
lection in tne south, and people o^
other sections of the country as a
rule know little or nothing of it.
That sweet potatoes grow :n pop*
ularity wherever they have been in
troduced has been proven time and
again. The supply never exceeds
the dema"'*

acqua. . .people w olner parti*
of the country with its many merits
as an article of food, and then the
establishment of an adequate sj
stem of marketing and distribution.
These things can be" done, and
they will be done. Southern farm
ers are beginning to Realize their
possibilties.
They can do with their sweet po
tatoes just what the people of Cali
fornia have done with their oranges1
and lemons, and what the people of
Oregon have done with their apples.
And they won’t be long about It,
either.
THE I)EV1L
Modern people have taken their
conception of a personal Satan not
from The Book but from a book,
“Dante’s Inferno,” says Rev. W. L.
Munhall, the noted Bible scholar. It
was the thirteenth century poet who
created a personage dressed in red,
with horns, hoofs, a forked tail and
a pitchfork—“a comic opera devil
which the world has never takci
serioua%'.”
And to the same source the scho
lar attributes the idea of Hell as a
place of fiery lakes and hissing cal
drons in the midst of which lost souls
tossed in torment while demons leap
ed and shouted in the horred glare.
Both these ideas are designated as
crude conception emanating from
these only then emerging from the
Dark ages.
But this does not mean that Dr.
Munhall does not believe in a per
sonal Devil. On the contrary he
says one exists "as certainly as there
is a personal God. There is as
much reason for believing in one as
in the ether. The Bible always
speaks of the Devil as a person. One
cannot read the account of the tem
ptation of our first patent's and rea
sonably describe it to evil natures
K. 1 was not then .n tne world, a iy
thi evil one.’
As for Hell, says the writer, “A
certain as there is a Heaven for
good people, there, is a Hell for bad
people. If there is no future account
ing an punishment for the deed done
in the body, then the deserving least
punishment will suffer most, whi'c
the one deserving of most punish
ment will suffer least, if at all."
It i* a good plan to believe in a
personal Devil, a* well as in a per
sonal (iod. Fear of the one may
help us toward right living <|uite as
much as love of the other, f’eopie
who believe in the Devil, and live
j up to their belief, are apt to feel ra
| ther safe as to the future.
THK WAV OF IT
The United States won the war
within about eighteen months after
getting into it.
We have piddled and meddled a
Kng ever since, trying to make
! peace, and have not yet succeeded.
; Does anybody doubt that better
progress would be made if the poli
ticians at Washington would thivw
up the job ami turn it over to the
soldiers ?
A HOY FARMER’S RECORD
Don Milley, a Florida fanner boy,
won the corn contest in that state
in 1920. He sue eded in producing
101.7 bushels of com on one acre at
eo.-t of 20 cents ner bushel.
Some of the eld fellows, who com
plain that they have to sell farm
products below the cost jf produc
tion wou'd do well to go see this
Florida boy and get his secret as to
beep expenses down.

when we ought to take every precau

way in which the “good dog.-*-’ may
be .^iffeguarded than by protecting
them from ramblers, and this protec

A good plan would be to shoot ev

known dog that begins to act suspi

A really valuable dog is not go

Miss Jessie Wagner, and from that
point eastward on the north side of
said Street to the east side of Wag
ner Alley.
It is the purpose of said Board
to build said side walk and to levy
a special tax on the property abut
ting on that part of said street
where said walk is luilt, unless the
owners of said property actually re
siding thereon shall file a protest
against ihe building thereof with t
Ciiirk nt tins Sour* on or Tel. re file
i First Tuesday of September; 192i.

ed to have this resolution published

ing notice of the pu^jcse of the
