The beef cattle market is unlimited.
There is no need to talk about farmers
of this section having no market for
their cattle.
And if the farmers begin raising
cattle in anything like large numbers,
market will come to them. There will
be cattle buyers in every center, pre-
pared to pay cash for cattle, just as
cotton buyers in every town pay cash
for cotton. The cattle business is man
aged just about as is tihe cotton busi-
ness, anyway. There are standard
grades of cattle, as there are standard
grades of cotton. There are cattle
buyers all through the West and
Northwest, but there are no cotton
buyers there. The buyers go where
they can do business. When there is
business for cattle buyers in this Sec
ton they will come mere.
But the point we are trying to make
in this article is that even without
local buyers farmers can sell their
cattle in distant markets and at a pro-
fit. There is a demand for beef cat
tie, and it will not do for anybody to
say that the markets are inaccessible.

The Cattle Market.
Anderson Mail.

ANDERSON Mall.
The possibilities of cattle raising in
this section were illustrated last week
when Newberry firm shipped two
carloads of home raised and nome
fattened cattle to Baltimore. The cat
tie were purchased at random last
fall, fed during the winter on cotton
seed meal and hulls and home grown
Lay and developed into prime beeVes.
The beeves in Baltimore will bring
more than their original cost, plus the
cost of the feed during the winter. In
addition, the sellers will get more fer
tilizer, and of a better quality, than
the cotton seed meal and hulls would
have purchased. The cattle manure
will be of permanent value to the
land, while commercial fertilizer is,
as rule, of but temporary value.
The success of these Newberry peo-
pie ought to be stimulating to the
people of Anderson and other coun-
ties in this section. If cattle can be
shipped from this section to Baltimore,
it means t. at the markets are unlim-
tied. There are several large cities
this side of Baltimore. Richmond and
Washington b eing the two largest
Philadelphia is only two hours by
fast freight from Baltimore, while New
York is only two aours or so further.

Life's Lesson.


If we live to any purpose it is to
learn as we live, says Leigh Mitchell
Hodges in the Philadelphia North
American, and the learning that
makes life worth while is the sort that
helps us to grow inwardly-I hesitate
to say spiritually, for so many persons
misinterpret tnat word.
AS a matter of fact, to live spirit
ual1y should be the ultimate aim OF
every person who lives. After one has

that he spent too much time away

was as follows:
The next two weeks will be devoted
largely to rest. During the two years
and three months which have elapsed
since l entered the State Department.

slderably less than the time which the

statements which have gained circu.

WAR BABY SCARE IS.
PROVED A DELUS|ON'
Inquiry In England Proves
Aspersions Cast on Women
and Troops Are BaseIess.

LONDON. June 12.--The "war baby
scare has been laid. Reports by the
National Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children show that the
rumors Of large increase in iilegit-
imacy are baseless.
officials of the society state defin-
itely that there Is not likely to be an
Increase of such cases. and that IN
many districts the number of cases Is
below normal.
Many of the reports that war babies,
were on the Increase were occasioneo
by the influx of women OF low type
to the districts in which the soldiers
are stationed. 1t was related that IN
one district sixty women were In the
workhouse, awaiting confinement, ana
that In another there were = hundred
There also was a report that In kent
workhouse was to be extended TO
take care of 1900 cases assembled there.
Inquiries. however, showed that the
cases were below the normal number
The societys reports declare the in
quiry proves that the aspersions cast
upon the character OF the women and
on the conduct of soldiers are unwar-
ranted and have no foundation.
A warning has been issued by Scot
land Yard against giving money to The
War Babies and Mothers League a
charity organized by Mrs. Helen Best.
Bishop Wilmington Ingram declares
the war baby" scare has been a great
delusion. He says:
"As whole. the women behaved
WELL but there were a number OF
young, giddy girls. excited by the
presence OF so many young men in
khaki. who caused mischief in some
camps. On the whole the troops set
remarkable example of good be-
havior TO the people among whom
they lived"
