Vrcelnnd Act and the Regional Re
serve Act, which will give lis Ii
healthy expansion of currency, to
the limit of our resources. Then
arain. there are few merchants who
will not exchange their accounts Tor
the states bonds bearing six per
cent: for the bonds can be used as
collateral in New Work, where cotton
can not.
IL cotton production l. reduced, as
it is sure to be. whether by legiSla-
tive enactment or voluntarily, the
value of cotton will improve, and
the States risk will be proportion
lately reduced. 1t is Just as fair to
assume that cotton, with reduced
acreage, will resume lis normal price,
land after the war 90 much higher
than ut any time within late years,
las to assume that it must always re-
main at e to S cents.
If the State undertakes to shoulder
Ia part of the cotton producers bnr-
fden temporarily, her constitutional
right to limit production, by an Act,
is at least morally strengthened.
If cotton should not advance with
in three OF five years tOsa price that
wonld Euuidate the bond Issue with
ont loss to the State, and Il third of
the debt would have to be paid by
direct taxation, real estate would pay
four-ifths of this tax. If an imme-
diate remedy, such Is a State bond
issue, can sustain realty values, as it
is likely to do, even in this crisis,
that same realty will be the better
s4le to bear the brunt of liquidating
the debt gradually, when the crisis
is passed.
The bond proposition resolves it.
self into this: will the people, who
are the State, distribute their burden
over a term Of years. with strong
hope of losing little or nothing ulti-
mately, or will they take a stunning
loss, at one blow, from which they
can not recover in the next decade?
When the bond issue was forced
through the Senate by sheer force of
logic, it was not supposed that the
bonds could be used except as. kind
of bulky currency on interstate ac-
counts. Now it develops as a result
of d Legislative committees visit to
Washington, where it was in confer
!ence with officers Of the Regional
Reserve Board, that the contenl-
plated South Carolina bonds will be
acceptable TO the regional reserve
banks. This means that South Caro-
lima has gotten the lead of her sister
States, and through her bond issue,
she is going to be able to borrow
money not only within her regional
territory, but in Western and North
ern regional territory with prefer
ence over other Southern States that
are not so armed with collateral.
Then let other States issue bonds, or
not, reduce acreage or not, South
Carolina will take care Of herself, il
she will proceed to enact the pend
ing bond bill.

Disinfectant and Deodorant

Eucalyptus oil is largely used as a
disinfectant and deodorant. Two
ounces Of oil of eucalyptus placed in
a porous earthenware vessel will keep
the air Of any chamber in which the
vessel is suspended perfectly free
from smell for several months. For
a similar purpose it may be mixed
with eight times its weight OF sawdust

AS an inhalation oil Of eucalyptus
may be mixed with smelling salts or a
teaspoonful may be stirred into hot
water in a jug or bronchitis kettle.
This is useful both for checking a
cold or influenza attack or for reliey-
ing headache.
For malaria the oil is sometimes
given, though its use is doubtful, in
place of quinine in five-drop doses on
sugar,

EDUCATIONAL NOTES

Patrons of our Schools.
NATIONS ASSET IN BOYS

Any idea or ideal which you wish TO
\ have dominate a nation must first lay
I hold of the thoughtful boys, the am
/ bilious boys, the boys of vision There
! is no more direct way TO accomplish
! the solution Of the most difficult prob
/ lens which press upon the nation than
! TO dominate the boys, the hope of the
race, with right ideals and visions. The
! boys have the power ito let" Abound
/ ing in physical vitality, having the
many unspent years, they constitute
! incomparably our most valuable asset
Moreover, they are so susceptible to i'm
! prcssions.
The age OF youth is the age Of lay
ing the secure foundation; the vision
| forming age; the age i'm which ideals
are fixed that dominate; the age in
which we rivet upon ourselves the
/ habits that make us or undo us; the
\ habits that enable man to pass
through the cross-currents and the
undertow of the modern age; or the
habits that result in disintegration and
awful collapse.
The age OF boyhood is the age that
determines the future. What is the
hope Of the greatness of any nation?
What is the secret OF the greatness of
any people? What makes a nation
great is the character, the ideals and
/ the spirit Of the people; and history
shows that character is determined in
youth; that those ideals are placed
high then; that that spirit is determin-
ed likewise by what happens with the
ideals.
When we see the forces Of sin and
shame, which are working such fright
full havoc on every hand; when we see
the magnitude OF these forces and note
their Jealous activity, their fiendish
cruelty, and their infinite ingenuity,
we do not wonder at what we find in
every nation, even in our own country,
in the way of the wreckage of the
boys. The most visible thing about us
in America is our material civilization.
We find that men are increasingly in
tent on what they can see, hear, and
handle; and the boys are tremendous
ly impressed by it. This nation must
be saved from Grass materialism. If
we are to do it, we must give the
future leaders vision at the time when
men receive visions that stay with
them. 1t is our ideals. at last, that
determine the other things.

mass all up with a clean sponge, lays

PASSING OF THE HOMESTEAD
Paper H. R. Branche Before Grange Meeting Picture of Rural New England-New Yorx's Food Distribution Problem Shown by Mrs. John E. Fanning-Deputy J. E. Crouch Made Visitation

In the lecturers hour at the meeting of Norwich Grange, No. 172. Patrons of Husbandry, in Pythian hall on Wednesday evening a paper read by H. R. Branche in the programme arrang- ed by Lecturer Frank T. Naples was received with much attention and with commendation of the faithful picture that it gave of conditions or what has happened in many rural communities while at the same time it struck a hopeful noe for the future.
 The paper by MT. Branchhe was up- on The Passing of The Homestead, and was as follows:
 The Passing of the Homestead.
 New England, perhaps more than any other section of the country. is viewing with alarm and sorrow the passing of it's old colonial homeseads that gave to the original thirteen states from the middle of the 17th century down to the advent of the dark days that ushesred in the civil war two hundred years of homestead building.

 It was in one of these original home stead type of houses that my early boyhood days were spent, and I dis tinctly remember the massive timbers that were framed and built into this particular type of house. Built nearly 150 years ago, yet today stands square and true as when it was raised way back in the revolutionary period. Not so can be said of hundreds of similar homes built in the same manner be- fore or after the time mentioned. I have in mind no less than twenty, just such homes situated in the vicinity of the one referred to that have long since passed into memory of those who can remember them as they were 30, 40, 50 or more years ago.

We believe them to be the best remedy made for indigestion and dyspepsia.
