quired practical instruction to the
students The class room work
in agriculture and the work on
the school farm is In charge of
trained agricultural The stud
ents are encouraged to engage in
some form of home demonstration
work, also, such as corn club, pig
club, canning or poultry club, or
TO raise home garden, and about
seventy FIVE per cent doing so this
year. The most successful club
work in the state is now being In
communities where the agricultu-
raj schools are located.
The agricultural teachers are re-
quired to do certain amount of
extension work among the farmers
i'll the school districts and they are
rendering very valuable service in
the campaign against hog cholera,
charbon and other diseases and in
tick eradication. They are ready
at all times to render assistance to
the farmers in solving their agri-
cultural problems. They encoura-
&c the growing of winter crops,
assist planning Of crop rotation
systems and their services are be-
coming very much in demand,
especially in parishes where no
regular demonstration agent is

Improvement In Rural Life.

According to State Superintend-
of Public Education I. H. Harris,
the agricultural extension work IN
Louisiana is beginning to be fruit
of good results. Mr.. Harris makes
frequent trips over the State and
is a close observer of rural condi-
tons. Better frrming methods
better homes and better roads as
we'll as better schools, are i'll evi-
dence, he says, and he attributes
much of this improvement to the
influence Of the extension move
ment.

HOYNE TO GET BALLOTS IN
ELECTION FRAUDS INQUIRY

Springfield, ILL.,, June 24.-The SUI
preme court today. ordered the Chi
cago election commission to turn
over to States Atty Hoyne ballots in
volved in the election frauds inquiry.
The court sustained Atty Gen. Lu-
cey's contention that prisoners
should not be removed from Joliet
penitentiary into custody of Cook
county, as witnesses for long periods
of time, by ordering Judge Kersten
to return Nathan Sternberg, held in
Chicago for six months as witness,
to Joliet.
The court refused a mandamus to
force Judge SABBATH of Cook county
to permit prosecution of Jacob L.
Kesner for failure to report personal
property for assessment.

contractors are busy in Chicago even
if members of the trust are idle.
If no construction work were going
on there would be no necessity for
any such threat of a tie-up through
bulldozing tactics on the part of the
banks.
And if mill men and manufacturers
are busily at work supplying material
to contractors who are at peace with
the carpenters union, it isn't at. all
necessary that financial brute force
be used to make these mills and fac
tories shut down until union car
penters are whipped into an agree
ment that establishes few con-
tractors in a monopolistic control of
construction work.
Let's have the truth. Turn on the
light. Let's get at the bottom of this
row between the contractors and car
penters. 1t may turn out that the
carpenters are doing a good thing for
Chicago by refusing to help the con-
tractors establish a building mo-
nopoly.
And let's find out if there are any
banks in Chicago that are trying to
bulldoze borrowers into shutting
down their mills and factories in
order to help establish such build
ing monopoly.

"THE FINANCIAL CONCERNS

l suggest that Mayor Thompson
and council make searching inves-
tigation of this building situation be-
fore there is a general tie-up of the
building industry in Chicago.
l also suggest that the proper gov
ernmental authorities investigate the
threat of Secretary Craig, and find
out by judicial inquiry whether or
not there is conspiracy in restraint
of trade, whereby building trust has
entered into conspiracy with GER
tain banks to tie up the building in
dustry unless union workmen in the
building trades enter into an agree
ment with a small bunch of building
contractors to put every firm outside
the building trust out of business.
1t would be quite proper at the
same time to find out why it is that
union carpenters are voting with
such unanimity to refuse to grant full
authority to their international presi-
dent to arbitrate all questions with
the contractors.

ened tie-up, with the aid of the banks,

jury since there is always the right
of diplomatic review of prize court
decisions and even of arbitration un-
der a special treaty between 1.-THE
United States and Great Britain.
The German note, continuing the
discussion over the sinking of the
American ship William P. Frye by a
German commerce raider, deals with
the American contention that not on
ly international law, but also the
treaty of 1928 between the United
States and Prussia, has been violat-
ed. The note contends that, while
the treaty does confer special privil-
eyes and exemptions upon American
shipping, these can be met and the
right still reserved to sink merchant
ships on the understanding to COM
pensate, owners therefor.
An answer to the British notes
soon will be forthcoming, but pre-
dictions are lacking as to the course
to be taken in regard to the German
note. .....r...

DISTINGUISHED VISITOR.

DR.. Joseph Burke, the chief sur
geon of the Seaboard Air Line Rail-
way, was in AbbevilleSlas Wednes-
day, and on that evening made an
address in the Court House on Health
Preservation and First Aid to the In
jured.
DR.. Burke visited Abbeville at the
invitation of the class in First Aid to
the Injured, formed here sometime
ago. He was introduced by DR.. G..
A. Neuffer, surgeon for the Seaboard
at Abbeville. DR.. Neuffer called at
tention to the fact that the class of
this name, organized as a result Of
the visit of the Red Cross a here
sometime ago, was the first class of
its kind organized in the South. He
and DIR. Burke each claimed credit
for the Seaboard for being the pio-
neer in this work in the Southern
states.
DIR. Burke spoke at some length on
the first aid to the injured and then
devoted the concluding part of his
speech to the general subject of
health preservation. The doctor" is
a man of thought in his profession,
and gave the audience, which greeted
him, some of his experiences and the
result of his observations. He is
evidently an advocate of the back
to-the-country movement, as he
thinks people live longer there than
jim the cities. He stressed the mat
ter of diet, and warned his hearers
of the danger Of Brights' from over
eating. He stated that red meats
SHOULD not be eaten more than once
each day. He thought the large
percentage of Brights' among the
engineers was because of the fact
that they sit in one position for so
long a time, eat heavy meals at the
end of the journey and 60 to sleep
too 500 after eating.
The doctor is a most pleasant gen.
tleman. He made many friends on
his visit here. He was the guest Of
DR.. NeuHer while in Abbeville. DR..
Epting came over from Greenwood,
and DR.. Malone, from Chester, to
hear, his talk. All the local physi-
clans were out to hear him, as were
a large number of ladies and gentle
men in addition to the members of
the organization which invited him.

J. S. RECEIVES FOUR
NOTES FROM EUROPE
Continued from Page One)

with special cases that seemed to JUS
tify the British action, failing to an
swer the American contentious that
the whole process of interference
with neutral commerce violates in
ternational law. After il; had been
dispatched to Washington new con-
ditions arose that determined the
British government to amplify its
arguments.
One of the conditions was a strong
protest against seizure of the Amer
lean ship Neches Rotteran for New
York with Belgian and German goods
This made necessary a defense of the
allies right to cut off Germany's ex-
port trade to neutral countries.
The second note deals with this
issue, and it is understood it con-
tends that an actual blockade of
North Sea ports exists and that, re-
gardless of British orders in council,
there is an inherent right in the
blockading powers under i1lternation-
al law to suppress traffic OF this kind.
While the controversy is proceeding,
unofficial efforts are being made to
release for the American markets
goods now awaiting export at Rotter-
dam by proving Belgian origin and
American ownership.
The last note of the series replied
to the American caveat of July II
saying the United States would be
governed only by the principles of
International law in dealing with de-
tentions. The British foreign Office
holds that the orders in council
comply with the spirit Of il1ternation-
al law, though it is admitted that
6. new application of these principles
has been made.
British prize court proceedings
provoked the American communica-
lion. The British contend that where
international issues were pending
before the United States courts that
fact has been recognized by the
London government as a reason for
.deferring diplomatic protests. 1t is
held that the United States govern
ment can not assume that its mer-
chandise has suffered permanent in
