striking reference which tallies with
our own view OF the building as de

A Fashion From War.
London Standard.

LONDON OLanQarQ.
When the neat man takes unto
himself watch as thin as parchment
he little thinks that that thin watch
results from army regulations.
Up to the time of he Allies taking
Paris the ordinary watch was convex
in shape and called from its outline
a "turnip.'' The officers Of the Rus
sian and other armies objected to this
because Of a man on parade looking
untidy, whether it was carried in the
coat or the fob. Here in Paris, how
yer, they found that the watchmakers
Of the Pafais Royal had contrived a
chronometer which got over the diff
fculty.
Flat watches were the fashion in
Paris. The English when they ap-
peared in the streets Of the French
capital marched in not in gala dress
such as the others wore, but in the
raiment which they had worn on
campaign. Great was the impression
which their habiliments created. But
they at once adopted the smart flat
watch and brought it back to England
for our own manufacturers to copy.

An Impossible Task.

Alexander Graham Bell, the famous
inventor Of the telephone, was dis
cussing flying machines, says the
Chicago Chronicle. Prof. Bell speaks
with authority on this subject: for
it is his tetrahedral kite that has CIV
en- the unit upon which flying ma
chimes be proportioned, and Santos
Dumont's success has been due to his
observance Of the principle first en-
unciated by the great American
scientist.
"We go very awkwardly about fly
ing" said Prof. Bell. ''In all inven-
tions the first steps are taken with
an awkardness that to later genera
tions seem ludicrously incredible. In
deed, at the start we are like the two
men with the plank.
Zone man asked another to help
him carry long and heavy plank
home. Accordingly they stopped down

They both turned round and we're

heads they stood in this posture, re-

Two Sides of the Question.

to rest the second floor flat, says. the
Chicago Tribune.
"We require the payment Of the
rental monthly in advance, Of course, -
he said.
':That will be all right" answered
the man. "The rooms suit me and I
am willing to pay a year in advance
if necessary"
"You don't object to music, per-
haps? There's a piano on the first
floor and a harp and either on the
third.'
"We don't take renters who have
children, you know

PRACTICAL WORK
FOR THE FARMERS
REPRESENTATIVE LEVER HAS
GOVERNMENT EXPERTS BUSY
Elaborate Soil Surveys-Many Kinds
Identified, Capable of Growing
All Sorts of Crops-Great
Success of the Drug Farm
in Florence County.
Charleston Post.

Charleston Post.
Columbia, July l6.- 6.-Congressman
Lever, who was here today on his
way home from Bishopville, talked in
an interesting way to your correspon-
dent about the new soil surveys be-
ing made in his district by the new
" created division of utilization OF
soil. The experiments are being made
by Prof. Frank Bennett and three
other experts, the quartet working IN
two squads.
Heretofore these surveys have been
limited to find the type Of the soil
in scattered sections of the state and
issuing bulletins on this information
with maps. Now not only the type
of the soil is being determined, but the
crop best adapted to the various typ
es is discovered to the farmer by act
ual experiment and the> fertilizer
that can be best and most economl-
cally used is also determined.
"In Lee county we have already
discovered twelve distinct types Of
SOIL" said Mr.. Lever. ''With this
information we will make a map Of
the county pointing out where the
soils lie, and We will conduct so to
rs farms Of a few acres each to de-
monstrate the fertilizer and crop 1t
will be best to use.
.EI told the Marlboro farmers, who
are uring 1,500 pounds Of commercial
fertilizer to the acre, that I believed
that this state, which spends $5,OOO,-
600 year for commercial fertilizer.
more than any other state in the In
ion uses, is wasting a third Of this
fertilizer by using too much, and a
third more by shallow plowing.
s'In my opinion the south has suf-
fered more from politicians talking
demagogery and pessimism than from
all other sources: The farmer wants
to get the idea in his head that he has
got to work hard and inteligently and
with faith and confidence. The
Southern farmer has untold riches
in his grasp if he will but get down
to work and quit growing about his
down-trodden condition.
Mr.. Lever and the experts have or
ganized an Improvement association
among the Lee county farmers, and
will organize similarly throughout his
district. Next September or Octcb-
er, when the crops are "laid by" he
will have representatives Of all the
principal divisions Of the agricultur-
al department come to the state and
lecture to country meetings held in
the picnic style.
Speaking Of the drug farm in Flor
ence county, which the government is
conducting in Congressman Ellerbe's
district, Mr.. Lever said:
''It has been demonstrated by ac-
tual experiment that $75 an acre can
be cleared on degitalis and belledon-
ma in that soil. This government i'm
ports s16,OOO,OO0 worth Of the drug
plants that are being successfully
raised in Florence, and the investiga-
tions already made show that all that
this country demands can be grown
