COMMENT.
The purpose of the publication of the
above is that all may have an oppor-
tunity to familiarize themselves with the
compulsory education law as amended
at the last session of the legislature.
Not less than two hundred children in
Stark county between the ages OF eight
and fourteen and not subject to any of
the exceptions enumerated above, not
only tailed to attend school during the
entire session, but were not even en-
rolled during the past year.
Sec. 700 has been wisely amended
and an earnest effort will be made to
demonstrate its effectiveness.

THE IDEAL HOME.

Grows Older.
AS the male member Of the human
species advances in years his ideas as
to what constitutes an ideal dwelling
change SO absolutely that there is be-
tween the different places he would
select almost no similarity.
At three years old his ideal is a tent
formed from a table cover, a blanket,
q spread, a piece of carpet, or any
other material that can be go arranged
that it will form a little place into
which to crawl.
At six the best possible dwelling is a
hut built. Of barrel slaves, boards AM
planks, and unknown to prosecuting
adults, and especially to policemen.
A boy Of ten would select a spacious
cave, with a marvellous secret entrance,
preferably with the entrance under
water at flood tide, with the floors COW
cred with heavy costly carpets, the
walls decorated with deadly weapons
inlaid with gold, silver. and precious
stones, and with enough food slowed
away to enable the inhabitants Of the
place to live for a year if necessary.
At twenty the hearts desire is a
room in a large hotel where the cost
would be, at least So a day and where
there would be a dinner at z O'clock,
with lots Of pretty and rich women
present, a big smoking room and plenty
Of stationery with a heavy gold mono
gram or crest stamped on it.
At twenty-five the best possible home
is a neat, comfortable modern fat in
some respectable neighborhood, not too
far from the cars, theaters and shop
ping district, and with asphalted streets
so there will not be too much noise.
At thirty-fve the only proper dwell
ing is a town house, preferably stu
ated near houses Of men whose wealth
is reckoned in the tens of millions of
dollars and who really have consid-

LET DICKINSON OWN ITS own SYSTEM or
WATER WORKS.

WAFER WORKS.
One week from next Wednes-
day, August 9, the citizens of
Dickinson will have d chance to
vote OH the proposition Of issuing
city bonds in the sum of $4,000
for a water works system.
The real question involved is
this: do the citizens of Dickin-
son wish to own and operate their
own city water works, or do they
favor the giving away of a valu-
able franchise to outside capital
ists?"
The Press gives a large amount
of space this week>to TIE consult
ing engineers report. This is
done in order that the people
may be fully informed as to what
steps have been taken by the city
council in the matter Of water
works and what has prompted the
ordering of an election. But we
do not want our readers to be
deceived as to the real issue,
which is not a question of whether
a deep we'll or river supply shall
be adopted or whether $4,000 is
a sufficient amount of money with
which to install a complete water
works system. These are ques-
tons to be settled later.
Dickinson is now a city Of con-
siderable size and wealth and the
best interests of the city demand
water works. The city council
realize this, and in case our citi-
zens should make the serious.
mistake of voting down the bond
proposition, a water works fran
chise will undoubtedly be granted
to some person or persons or
corporation, with the result that
in a short time the city Of Dick
inson will be contributing a water
rental sufficient to pay the inter-
est on the entire bond issue nee
essary to put in a first class sys-
TEN. The city must have water
for fire protection and other pur-
poses.
There are any number Of peo-
pie in Dickinson who will argue
that the city made a great mis-
take in voting away lighting and
telephone franchises. The Press
does not claim that in all instances
it is best for city to own its own
utilities; but in this case Dickin-
son should not throw away the
opportunity of owning its own
water works.
The people of Dickinson should
look to the future and at.the COM
ing election the voters should
grasp the opportunity Of holding
now and forever this public util-
ity, water works, the most import
ant that the people have at their
disposal.
AS far as the Press can learn,
the aldermen believe that Dick
inson should own its own water
works and that in doing SO thou
sands upon thousands of dollars
will be saved to the people. AS
previously stated, the public good
demands water works, and, realiz-
ing this fact, the council has
ordered the election.
The Press has no doubt that
some people will argue against a
bond issue, thereby hoping to
defeat water works, and be per-
fectly sincere in doing SO; others,

BEEF CATTLE A SPECIALITY.

cinl Feature.

South Carolina has never raised beef
cattle to any extent. Up TO this date,
with a few exceptions, cattle Of all
sorts. sizes, sexes ana ages have been
bought up by dealers, fed q short time
and put on the market. In the upper
part Of the state no SO far as we
know has made it a special business.
1t is now one Of the safest enterprises
that a farmer n enter on. The price
of beef is high, and the demand is
constant, There is no danger of glut-
ting the market. Cattle, small grain
and cotton make a combination that
VIII lift mortgages, improve lands, give
better homes and produce more pros
porous conditions.
When one looks over the waste
places of this state, he sees the neces-
sity Of a revival. The Beef trust is
fastened on the people. The price of
cut meats is fixed hy the trust, which
is encouraged by our national legisla-
tion, There is 10 sign Of o reduction
in the price. Our people should be
eXhorted to raise beef cattle on a large
scale. On the rivers and abandoned
lands of the state there is ample room
for thousands of cattle.

WHEAT-CL0VER ROTATION
The Growth of Clover improves
the Soil S~plcndidIy For
the Coming Crop.

The growth of clover improves tn
soil in splendid way for the comm;
crop. When clover is sown among tn
young wheat, the roots strike dee
and the plant collects and feeds OF
nitrogen. Thus the clover stores M
a supply of this useful and expensive
element Of plant food in the subsoi.
for the growth Of wheat or corn which
| follows.
The large amount of nitrogen which
the clover contains is one of its most
prominent features, it being twice as
much as that found in the grain crops.
1t is found that the two average clover
crops Of the one year contain about
four times as much nitrogen as would
be contained in an average crop of
wheat grown on the same land. And
there still remains in the roots, stub
BILE and leaves Of clover more than
enough nitrogen that can be used by
the wheat crop which will follow.
The thing for the farmer to do is
to have a fine growth Of clover. This
he can easily get by using the proper
amounts of potash and phosphoric
acid. In the clover, as in all the root
potash is the most needed ele-
ment: therefore, potash fertilizers are
found to be the best for them.
In a rotation, by growing a clover
crop, the farmer should insure a rank
growth of clover by supplying plenty
Of potash. Thus he will got the ex-
nitrogen, which is furnished
the clover, at a small cost.
An average corn and timothy crop
will use and take from the soil soma
.hrea hundred pounds of nitrogen. II
he farmer would buy three hundred
of nitrogen to put back into
he soil as a fertilizer, it will cost him
ONE SIS. But he can save most Of
expense by growing a good clover
rop, which will supply, as we have
cen, plenty Of nitrogen for the corn
rop.
In growing clover, an excess Of
h%osphoric acid will have a tendency
unduly stimulate the crop and force
70 early maturity. which means
oorer growth. Therefore, if fertilizer {
as been used on the wheat at the
Ill planting, the farmer will find it
ssirable to apply the potash as a top
in the spring, say from one
nndred to two hundred pounds of I
.uriate Of potash per acre. The OBJ
