LOOK AT KANSAS. \,

columbia Record.)

Kansas Is some State We do not
appreciate the manner in which her
people have taken hold Of their op-
portunity. The biennial report Of
the State Board Of Agriculture is
amazing. 1t shows that Kansas pro-
duced in year 100000 worth
Of foodstuffs. When we consider
that Kansas was at one time destroy
ed by cyclones, politics, grasshoppers
and drouth and many people fed
the State, we can appreciate then the
hardships that were endured.
What Kansas has done, South Car
olina can do. We have a better cli-
mate. We have a soil that is re-
sponsive. By the employment of
scientific agriculture, the lands Of
South Carolina will produce as pro-
lifically as those Of Kansas. Let us
consider what Kansas has done. The
Memphis News-Scimitar says:
prosperity has blessed this land
for several years. The bankers have
difficulty In storing the money turned
over to them for safe keeping. The
farmers have erected good buildings
and outhouses, and provided them
selves with fences and other neces-
sary equipments. They have built
good roads, and are making Won
derful improvements in other ways.
n tn 10 tn,
lie highways, and the ground being
level they can construct and main
tain these at small expense
"For long time Kansas was
looked upon as the home Of long
whiskered Populists and wild-eyed
statesmen, but that charge, If ever 1t
was true, cannot be maintained
against the State at the present time.
Kansas has increased in population
fourteen fold In fifty years, and her
system Of public schools has improv-
ed wonderfully, and Is at the present
time equal to that of any other State.
"In 1868 the average wages for
male teachers was $23 per month,
and for female teachers $14. In
1913 the average for males had risen
to 500, and for females $57. In
other words, in 1868 less than $780,
600 was spent in the entire State for
teachers wages, and in 1913 the sum
total was nearly 100000. Fifty
years ago the total expenditures for
public schools was $4,000, while in
1914 the total expended amounted to
$11 100000, and the State has $780,
100000 invested in substantial
school buildings.
"The Kansas that we used to speak
lightly Of Is the agrculturist' home.
There are no large cities, but the
country Is developed, and being dis
tinctively agricultural, the home of
the farmer Is looked after and I'M
proved just as was the home of the
Southern planter before the war.
Prohibition or no prohibition, popu-
lism or no populism, Kansas is the
greatest food producer in tho land,
and we must all take off our hats
to her."

LAST APPEARANCE

Announcement that the final visit of the Singing McEne11y orchestra for the season will be made Monday evening at the Colonial ball room in Fairfield avenue will be- received both with pleasure and regret by the large num- Der of dancers who have enjoyed their
 music during the winter. The pleas ure will be for the good time they are sure of having, and the regret that it will be the last visit of the season for this splendid aggregation of musicians who haV9 pleased so many with their playing and singing. The McEne1lys have a style 5aIll their own, which has not yet beeen successfully initiated, and their music has 8 snap and swing which is particularly pleasing to the dancers. For Monday evening they have an entire new program and a number of surprises that will add to the pleasure of those who attend. The admission is at a popular figure. There will be a. very large attendance and a gobd time.

WEST END THEATRE

Today the West End theatre, on State street, near Clinton avenue, presents the fve-act vitagraph Blue Ribbon feature, teThe Hero of Sub- marine D-2,'' featuring Charles Rich man, Eleanor woodruff and aIl-star Vftagraph cast.
 The story of sHThe Hero of Sub marine D-2'' portrays a, sequence of scenes in the effort of the Rumanian government to destroy the United States feet Warships, battle cruis- CTS, torpedo boat destroyers and sub marines of the United States. navy are shown in action. The principal scenes Iwere taken at the Newport naval station, at Annapolis and at Norfolk.
 The big scene in the picture is the shooting of Charles Richman through a torpedo tube from a submarine and the subsequent exploding of 12 mines laid in the path of the incoming squadron.
 M. Maurice. head of the noted modiste concern, Maison Maurice, of Fifth avenue, Manhattan, designed the gowns worn by Miss Eleanor Woodruff in <%The Hero of Submarine D-2.' The estimated worth of this wardrobe is $1O.00O, and those who CTGaC1OnS consider this estimate a small one These gowns were designed especially for use in this production.
 To describe the costumes in detail would require considerable space, and a written description would give lit tie idea of their 1oveIiness and orig inaEty. All of them are shown to splendid advantage by Miss Wood ruff in the film. and that they will prove a strong lure for the fair sex is not doubted.
 Many of the scenes of the produc- ton are laid in Newport, the social center of the country. and through the art and courtesy of M. Maurice, Miss Woodruff will be suitably gown ed for the lofty social position of her role.

Are YOU Playing FAIR?

Henry Ward Beecher once said that young women look upon school teaching a temporary occupation while waiting to see what the Lord would send them.
 Is your attitude towards Bridgeport like that of MT. Beecher's teachers2
 If it is, you are not playing fair to Bridgeport nor to yourselves, if you believe in Bridgeport.
 The teacher who marks time in her work while waiting for some young man to "Fwait'' on her is sacrificing the children un- der her care.
 If we don't get this problem of homes settled, we will be sacrificing the children. They will suffer ne0re than they could even in the hands of unfair teachers, who are not willing to give the best they have for good wages and good hours.
 There were upward of 100, ,ooo people in Bridgeport before the great demand for workers brought the mighty rush. The good working conditions are bringing more of them, despite the lack of fit places to sleep.
 If your interests in the city are perna- nent, and your only thought is to make all you can out of this amazing prosperity 'swhile it lasts, you are not so much better than the floater who comes into Bridgeport to get all he can out of it right now without caring hoot about next month or nextyear
 The future greatness of Bridgeport de- bends upon the workers. There isn't any doubt about that because Bridgeport is manufacturing city.

If the factories move elsewhere, and leave the workers high and dry, or if the workers seek other cities in which to work, the result to Bridgeport is the same.
 The most useful and valuable citizens a community can have are among the highly skilled workers that have been attracted to Bridgeport
 They not only want to earn all their labor is worth but they want to LIVE, to have their wives and children with them.
 If Bridgeport doesn' t give them homes they are glad to pay for, Bridgeport doesn't want them very much. It would seem as if all that Bridgeport cares about them is to wiring what profit it can out of their labor.
 We know this ism t true. We know, too, it is the business of Bridgeport to provide homes for it's workers, to safeguard good work, good hours, good pay.
