Ting Fang on American Children,

The youth of America have not IN
naturally caught the spirit of their cid
ers, so that even children consider
themselves almost on a par with their
parents, while the parents, on the
other hand, also treat them as II they
were equals, and allow them the ut
most freedom, writes WI Ting Fang
in Harper's Magazine. While a Chi
nese child renders unquestioning
obedience to his parents orders, such
obedience as a soldier yields to his
superior officer, the American child
must have the why's and the where
fores duly, explained to him, and the
reason for his obedience made clear.
1t is not his parent that he obeys, but
expediency and the dictates Of reason.

TryiRu to Do Too Much,

Many business men are coming to
the conclusion that they would accom-.
plish more if they attempted less. Life
is becoming overcrowded. A success
sion Of little things fill the time that
could more wisely be used for the con
temptation Of great tasks and the col
temptation Of lofty purposes. To sim
plify Is to strengthen. Life is o
than a mere round Of engagements; II
is a conscious enjoyment and employ
ment Of the spirits highest capacities

"Sterillzed" Business.

In industry and merchandising. It Is
the dawn of a sterilized age in which
sterilized corporations shall sell ster-

by sterilized methods. All the germs

little agreement to buy your raw ma
terial to sell your finished product, to
steal a process from your neighbor, to

Starvation In Japan.

Failure Of the rice crop and the

tricts of Tohoku and Hokkaido, north

that the country has faced in 2 hum

the rice from heading out, and unusu-

Eprjt Fool Day.

There are all sorts Of theories as
to the origin of the merry anniversary,
but the most plausible is the one
which gives the custom it's use in
France, about 1864. France al the

reformed calendar, and as a result the
New Year day was carried back to
January 1, and mock calls we're made

Side Dressing Pays

Every stalk of cotton grown in South Carolina last year could and
would have taken on more bols than it did fit had been properly side
dressed. You will not see the long skips between bols in side dressed cot
ton that you see in other cotton, and you will see more bols to the stalk
Every stalk of cotton grown in South Carolina last year would have
"shed" less if ii had been properly side dressed. The reason cotton sheds is
that tit deficient in plant food. The only way to supply this plant food is
to side dress your cotton. You can't pump it into it. A young, tender,
growing child should be fed frequently to make it grow rapidyan develop
and come into it's own, and til the same way with young tender growing
plants. they should be fed (ide dressed) frequently You don texpect to
feed your mule enough in April to last until October and the plant food you
supply your crop with in April will not last until October either When
the plant exhausts your cotton sheds. Your crop is "cut"
You can only make one cotton crop a year. that is your money up. You
want to make all the cotton you can. You want to- make all the money you
can, For every dollar you pay out for fertilizer for side dressing you get
from three to five dollars. This man Rodgers in Florence county who fert-
liked every time he cultivated his crop, made $50 pounds of lint cotton to
the acre, lint coton-not seed cotton-int cotton.
By side dressing early your cotton grows off early and gets its maturity
early and opens early, for when cotton gets its growth and maturity and
rpens tits going to open. Your early cotton weighs better than late cotton.
1t takes about 100 bols of cotton picked in September and October to make
a pound. 1t takes from SOC to 400 bols that are picked in the last half Of
November and later to mak9a pound.
When the boil weevil strikes a country the early cotton is all the farmer
gets The boil weevil gets the balance. You don't know when the boil
weevl will strike you, or Idont
Experienced ginners say that 300 pounds of side dressed cotton will
make as heaAy a bale as 800 pounds that has not been side dressed. The
lint is better developed and there is more of it. Suppose side dressing makes
two extra bons to the stalk. The right kiud properly applied will add more
than that and make every boil heavier, it will add three and four to the
stalk. You will have at least 12y 600 stalks to the acre, taking two extra
bons to the stalk and 120 bOns to make a pound you have 200 extra pounds
of cotton from the extra bOls to say nothing of all the bols being larger and
heavier.
Side dressed cotton stands drought better than other cotton. 1t is bet
ter fed and in better condition to stand anything better. Side dressing
makes more bols, makes heavier bons, makes more lint to the boil. makes
shed less makes better sample, that means a better price, causes
your cotton to stand drought better If side dressing does not pay, it does
not pay to farm. The side dressing specially prepared by the Anderson
Phosphate and Oil Company boys is the goods you need.

Thomas A. Edison Gets Little Pleas

West Orange, ~ j., March 22.--
Thomas A. Edison, inventor of many
remarkable things, needs to invent a
way in which he can enjoy vaca-
ton. for he isn't having any fun on
his present lay-off at his winter home
in Fort Meyer, Fla.
He left here four weeks ago for six
weeks, rest. His secretary, William
Fl. Meadowcroft, has just received a
letter from Mr.. Edison saying that
he longs to get back to his labCra-
tory.
Soon after the inventor reached
Florida he lost interest in idleness
and sent for batch OF records, to be
placed in the underbush Of the Ever
gades so that he might obtain the
songs Of the birds. Mr.. Edison SET
the records in motion by pressing q
button in his Office, mile away.
The records will soon be put on. by
the factory here.
In addition to this trihing effort
Mr. Edison has invented case for
carrying and shipping disk records
with outlnjuring them in the slightest

this. lie mas almost insisted On pass
