' D' Coming Back OUGHUOYS, who remember tho terrific devastation they saw In France, will bo especially Interested to learn that Franco is steadily getting tho damages repaired. It is important news to all of uh, that France In mure than hall way back to B.'rmal. Why important? Because our jiroHperlty de ponds to considerable extent on Europe's come-back. And Franco is as much a lay nation, 'as Germany, to the general European sit uation. ' For Instance, 741,883 buildings in Franco were destroyed or suf fered serious damage. Tho French government reports that uearly COO, 000 of these buildings had been rebuilt by September 1, tho date pf the last check-up. Later figures are not available, since it take several months to round up the information. And, of the 22,900 French factories destroyed in tho war, 20,000 had been rebuilt September 1. About 5,000,000 acres of French farming land wero rendered unfll . for cultivation by battles. Nearly 4,400, 000 acres of these have been cleared of shells, leveled and again are bearing crops. Tho war trenches totaled 430,230,000 cubic yards of oarth ex cavated, and about 305,000,000 cubic yards have been filled in. Barbed wire entanglements at the close of the war totaled 446, 108,000 square yards. Doughboys wondered how tho French woulj ever manage to coil tho wire. Well, 311,000,000 square yards of wire entanglements have been coiled and removed. And over a million abandoned shells have been gathered up and destroyed or stored. 1 American Individualism Pr Herbert Hoover ' "American Individual iv. -" Is ihe title of a book of 72 paac writ;.'-, by Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce, end juii oil th-i plcs-st cf Dotblede ', Page & Co. Here are corns ex cerpts: ' , - On' individualism d!ffcs from bit ethers because It em-br.-.c: thse grcal Ideals: ' tat white v.a build our aoclety upon the attalnmsnt of the Indildunl, wo shall safeguard to every Individ. i.-.l an equality cf opportunity to take that position in tho t oTitiiunity to which hlj Intelligence, character, ability and ambition entitle hlin; th.-.t v e keep the social solution free from frozen strata of clause: ti at we chad timulate effort of each lndivldti.il to achievem' nt; that through an enlarging aenie of rcsponnib !ity end understanding we shall assist him to this at tainment: v.hile ho In turn must stand up to the emery wheel of competition. We hive learned that impulse to production can only be maintained at a hirh pitch if there Is fair division of tho product. ' , . Wc In America have had too muoh experience In life tc fool ourselves into pretending that all men are equal in ability, In character, in Intelligence, in ambition. That our system has avoided the esUb::c::rt and domi nation of class has r, significant proof In the prese,.. .-'Jminis-trotion in Vai nuton. Of the 12 men comprising the presi dent, the vice-president and cabinet, nine have earned their ovn way in life without economic inheritance, and eight of them started with manual labor. ' . Progress of the nation is the sum of progress of Its Indi viduals. Acts and Ideas that lead to progress are born out pf the womb of the Individual mind, not out of the mind of the crowd. The crowd only feels: It has no mind of Its own w'th which it can plan. There Is developing in our people a new valuation of In-ii-vldeala and of groups and of nations. It la a rising vision W sorvlce. Our American demand of equality of opportunity Is a con stant militant check upon capital becoming a thlner to be feared. a Our government's greatest troubles and failures are In the economic field. To curb the forces In business which would destroy equality of opportunity and yet to maintain the Initiative and creatie faculties of our people are the twin objects we must attain.

Tho French have been as active as ants, at repairing the damages of war. Damages in the French devastated regions, according to French official estimator., .totaled 102,000,000,000 francs. France has spent -,.,44,000,000,000 francs repairing the damages, and on this account Ger many has paid 4,000,000,000 francs. These are the French govern ment's figures. The devastation of France, as revealed almost beyond human imagination's grasp. If we'd had similar destruction in America, no doubt we'd bo foaming at the mouth and generally acting emotionally in u way that other countries would find hard to understand. AH this muat bo kept in mind, in judging tho present French attitude, (The World From Day To Day Short Comments on the World's News From Day today. What This Country and Other Countries are Doing and Thinking About OBSERVATIONS ABOUT TOWN The Price of Calcium Arsenate IT IS said that calcium arsenate lu the nmut' satisfactory chock to tlio advance of the boll weevil that has yet been employed. Uu- fortunately, however, upon tho announcement of i(s olllcacy, claim is made that it is scarce anil expensive. -, A. A. Houseman A; "Co who are sa'U to bo authorities in tho matter, give in detail soma T interesting fact about calcium arsenate. They say that tlio total maximum Aim;: lean output of the commodity, under the best-pos-' ""Bible conditions and tho highest prices for copper and lead, would bo CO tons a day or a total production of 1S.00O tons per annum, flg--urlng on 300 working days per year. Houseman & Co. say further: ."Tho demand for arsenate at a profitable price cannot permanently bo established until the price of cotton is in its turn definitely fixed on u basis millieiently high p.".to warrant tin year in and year out uho of .high priced arsenates. - The production of arsenate is misccptihlu of being materially in "creased by tho outlay of additional capital and such additional cap ital cannot read'iy bo attracted until tho permanency of tho demand - ior and tho permanency of the price of raw arsenate is more certain.'' , It is significant to note that tho manufacturers of arsenate do not propone to go Into tho husiimxs on a hire scale until tho price of raw cotton ts fixed at a figure that will guarantee them a good - profit for their output. And yet in tho past talk of fixing tho price of cotton at a figure that would guarantee a profit to the farmer hm boon scouted as ridiculous and imposKible, contrary to ull economl.' Taws. There Is a ray or hope for the cotton farmers, however, since tho co-operative farm marketing plan has been placed upon a firm baBls. This contention that calcium arsenate will not bo manufac Vtured on an extensive scale unless there is a guarantee of a per manent profitable price bhould Hpur up the Co-operative Farm Mar keting Association to the point of demanding that the price- of col ton should be permanently fixed i;o that they can bo sure of a proli' beioro they pitch their crop, even though they bo put to the extra heavy expense of using calcium arsenate to destroy tho boll weevil. It possibly may be that tho supply of calcium untrnulo already .-Is ample for boll weevil purposes and all other use to which it : "'"put, and that Ibis talk of scarcity Is simply a bluff to bopiit the price. Knch tactics often aro used, regrettable as tho fact. is. if though, a mov meet on tlio part of tho calcium arsenate manufac turers should hive the effect of stabilizing the price of cotton, ellt would ensue to the cotton fanners. o by theso statistics, is LUXURY What is your idea of tho last word In luxury? Caligula, ilomau emperor, l.ad n ,ivonio norsa named liritaius. He fed thin horse gilded oats from an ivory manger in a marble stable, and al lowed him to drink only the most delicious of v.'ines. Irrltutus had a puiaee, with servants, in which ho "entertained" other horses. Caligula also appointed this fav orite steed a consul or honorary chief magistrate. Fhio to read' ihoiit.

' Christmas story: "If vou kids open you." those bundles I will spank RESULTS OF EXPERIMENT Dear Editor: I thought it would be interesting to the burlness men of Fayetteville us well as -Cumberland to know tho results of calcium arsenate spray on the yield of cotton as demonstrated in tho border coun ties of Anson, Scotland and Kobe son this year. Cotton can be grown at a profit by the du;;t j-pray method when properly dene, but not by a half hearted slip shod method. To tw.crsHi'ully grow cotton you must have the right kind of poison also the right kind of machine and must be applied according to scientific methods worked out on hundreds of farms. I am now at tending a meeting of agents and men that are to Hssist tho farm ers next year in taking tho nec essary Kteps to produeo cotton. Un low I am giving tho spraying re sults and cost of tho operation and net gain. Also names of fellow N, C. farmers who kept tho rec ords. Mr. 7,. V. Tate, Laurel Hill.

There are others. Soon I will have a list of all those man ufacturers that make reputable machines. It is necessary to place orders now if wp expect to get spray ma terial .at a date early enough for next year's use. Then too, the prico is getting higher.
