Jthe Situation to the Corn Belt elites-j&ould inspire farmers in the S&oth' to carefully look after their fed needs. This section sends so many of, its dollars away to pay for supplies, that we must have that we etould take 'advantage of our prc djtctiye opportunities and conserve our wealth whenever this can be done t? advantage. And surely it is to WT advantage to pay ourselves and olrr own lalbor for producing feed rather than to pay laborers in other sections. I am n)t opposed to fair trade ex change between different sections of tQia country, nor between this and other Nations. This would be suici dal in my line of business trans portationand the laborer (transpor tation), is worthy of his hire: but we must' protect the South from being SMBcea ary. i'Wten the South is economically on an even keel we can afford to be generous in trading and buying, for we must sell our cotton, tobacco, pea- t truck crops, lumber, etc., a , across the waters, and abroad a land. In the meantime, we 1 save a larger share of the etalth produced annually on South ern farms than has been the case in the past. ; Mm TROUBLE APPEARS IN EAST, Prance and Turkey Claim ' Title to Alexandretta. ;.Washington, D.

East's newest trouble spot, up in '-fhe malarial northwest corner nf J fyria, where both France and-Turk y are claiming , permanent title "jo the district of Alexandretta, is he subject of a bulletint'frbm the Kational Geographic society. ,?The sanjak, or district, of Alex andretta, though lost in the entity of the French mandate of Syria jjpiij recent plans for Syrian inde pendence came to the fore, is on art'the bits of the jig-saw puzzle carved from the Turkish Levant fol- ring the World war." says the Jetin.

Turkey, how jwver. points out that the majority ift its inhabitants are Turkish, and Uso that the area was only condi tionally surrendered by Turkey at X5e Paris Peace Conference. Two Important Cities - TpfThe district has two important cities. One is Antioch, scene of the fexpkrits of Ben Hur, and the other h -the seaport and rail terminus SJt - Alexandretta, named for Alex ander the Great. Antioch, little Vhanged since the days when Paul vsJni Barnabas preached nearby', is flourishing trade center f to the ; 'midst of a rich farming vregion,' imuob of its fertile -'soil pierced with) licorice roots..

"Because it is a drab, work-e-day city of soma 12,000 population, with almost no tourist attractions, Alex andretta does not often come into the news. Built on marshy plain, backed by the Amanus range, tha city is notoriously unhealthy, al though its splendid harbor has the best anchorage north of Beirut (Bey routh). , "Not far from either Alexandretta or Antioch rises, the famous moun tain Musa Dagh, scene of the dra matic World war siege described in the recent best seller "The Forty Days of Musa' Dagh." In nearby Anatolia is the city of Tarsus, birth place of Paul the Apostle, to whom the pleasures and wickedness of Antioch were anathema, y. v "The Alexandretta region Hos tesses several well watered valleys which normally produce abundant crops, including cotton, tobacco, lic orice, and citrus fruits.' Live stock, silk cocoons, and textiles are also exported. Oil has been discovered in the region, as well, as deposits oi cnrome and antimony ores. Sheltered from storms of weath er, Alexandretta, which formerly had a huge colony of Armenian refugees from Cilicia, has had its share of man-made strife and prom ises to nave more.

The view-volnt ot the camera Is also Important Many pictures of street scenes show that its position was too low. Often a good shot ot a busy street can be made from the steps of some public building. Inter esting and odd views are obtained from windows of high buildings, pointing the camera down. When taking streets from the curb, hold the camera as high as you can. Cameras with eye-level finders are especially convenient for this kind ot work.
