KNOW YOUR COUNTY AGENT.
Get In Touch With Him In Spring
and Keep In Touch All Year.

Thecounty demonstration agents OF
the State have all returned to their
counties with new ideas and new
enthusiasm as a result of the semi
annual meeting of agents recently
held at Clemson College. They are
launching the work of the new crop
year and making plans to carry out
the policies decided upon.
For many reasons, this is the best
time of year for farmers who do
not know their county agent to get
in touch with him. If you do not
know who your agent is, find out
from your neighbor, then take the
first opportunity to become acquaint-
cd with him. You will find him

to know your county agent and hav-

ALL FAVOR PREPAREDNESS.
Democrats and Republicans Sol
Id for Measure.

Washington, February 7:-Speak-
er Clark and Republican Leader
Mann fought side by side in the
House today for adequate national
defence. With party lines obliterat-
ed, most of the members followed
their leaders and two navy measures
were passed without a dissenting
vote. One, to provide for adding
three hundred midshipmen to the
entering class at Annapolis next Ju-
ly, passed 173 to 0, and the other, to
equip navy yards for construction of
battleships Numbers 43 and 44,passed
without roll call.
Mr. Mann tried to put the anti
preparedness advocates on record by
calling for a division on the Naval
Academy bill, but there were no
negative responses.
The appearance of Speaker Clark
on the floor to champion prepared
ness measures aroused wide interest.
Rumors persisted that he would take
active charge Of the fight to increase
the army and navy, Majority Leader
Kitchin having joined the opposition.
Immediate improvement of the
navy by designing new battleships
along the lines of the best now in
use, doubling the membership of
both Annapolis and West Point, cre-
alton of many additional regiments
for the!army and short term enlist
ments to produce a reserve were
among suggestions made by the
Speaker.

PROCEEDINGS IN
THE LEGISLATURE.

IN INCREASE WAREHOUSE FUND
APPROPRIATIONS FOR PRO-
HIBITION AND MILITIA.
Columbia, February A. There
was something doing today on the
House side. Whether there is any
thing or not in the suggestion, the
statement was openly made by Mr.
Bieham, of Aiken. and by Mr. Smith.
of Colleton, that there was an ap-
parent combination between the en-
thusiastic militarists and prohibition
lists, the one to get authority for
s25. ZOO with which, if necessary, to
nav for lost equipment, and the 9TH
or to place in the hands of the Gov
ernor authority to expend as much
aas $50, 200, if so much be necessary
for the enforcement of the prohi'
bition law.
The House refused to make a d.
rect appropriation of $4,000 with
which to pay for lost equipment
Whether there be anything in the sug-
gestion of combination or not, it vot-
ed authority for the money to be
borrowed with which to pay this
charge, if it could not otherwise be
arranged; and then the House voted
authorization of the $4,000 fund
for the enforcement Of the prohi-
bition law.
The two items were voted in the
shape of authority to borrow and
not direct appropriations to be add
ed to the sum total of the appro-
priation bill. The item for the re-
lief of the military was passed by
vote of sixty-four to thirty, and the
authority for the borrowing of $780,
600 for the enforcement of the pro-
hibition law was adopted by a vote
Of fifty-three to thirty-fve.
The fight came up on these amend
ments of the appropriation bill, and
the successful suggestion as to both
matters came from Mr. Wagnon. OF
Union, an ardent prohibitionist, who
seems to know how to turn a trick.
The original proposition contained a
clause with reference to the use OF
rural police in various counties,
butthis was withdrawn after the
Goternor was given the authority to
use a law enforcement fund OF
$4,000.
WILL MAKE HISTORY.
The original bill by Mr. Lilies pro-
posing direct appropriation of $50
600 for the enforcement of the pro-
hibition law remains unconsidereo
on the House Calendar. The fol-
lowing is the amendment to the pro-
hibition law which will make politi-
cal history in South Carolina:
Section Al. Add at the end of Sec
tion 41 the following: Provided
that measures pending in Congress
shall fail to relieve the militia of this
State of the charges now leveled
against the militia by the war de-
partment in Washington, and pro-
yided the Governor and Adjutant
General of the State shall have ex.
hausted all means to haye the war
department relieve the militia OF
this State of said charge, and shall
be convinced that the charge is q
lust and honest obligation of the
State. then the Governor, the Comp
troller General and the State Treas,

credit of the State for an amount
not exceeding twenty-five thousand
(S25, ,OOO) dollars at such time as the
obligation must be discharged, and
pay and discharge the debt of the
militia to the war department: Pro.
vided further, that shall the exlgen-
cies in any municipality or county IN
this State justify or require extra
ordinary measures to enforce the
prohibition law now in force and
recently enacted, that the Governor
of the State may eXpend in his dis
cretion fifty thousand (S50,OOO) dol
lars, or so much thereof as may be
necessary, to enforce said laws, and
shall such funds be found necessary.
the Governor, the Comptroller Cen
eral and the State Treasurer shall
be, and they are hereby, empowered
and required, to pledge the credit
of the State at such time and for
such amounts as may be necessary
to enforce such laws, not to exceed
fifty thousand dollars $3.50, 0,OOO."
THE WAREHOUSE COMMISSION.
The next most significant action
of the Assembly was in the direct
increase of the fund for the main
tenance of the State warehouse com.
missioner's department from ten to
fifteen thousand dollars. Last night,
when it was proposed to take this
increase of five thousand dollars out
of the income of the warehouse sys-
tenn and to restrict the use Of the
fund of this five thousand dollars in
addition to the direct appropriation.
Mr. Belser and Mr. Odom raised their
objections. They were afraid that
any such restriction on the ware
house commissioner might impair
the system and not allow it sufficient
money with which to pay insurance,
rent and other charges. The House
today, without any objection on the
part of the ways and means COM
mittee, raised the fund for the sup
port of the commissioners depart
ment to fifteen thousand dollars, and
| it then adopted an amendment pro-
posed by Mr. Odom, on the part of
the committee of agriculture, a pro-
viso that gives the commissioner
ample latitude in the use of the
fund derived from the warehouse.
This amendment reads as follows:
That no section or provision OF
this act shall interfere with the hold
ing of the money received by the
State warehouse commissioner as a
separate fund in the conduct OF the
business, and this fund shall be at
the disposal of the commissioner in
the manner provided by an act en-.
titled, an act to regulate the storage,
grading and marketing Of cotton,
approved October 80, 1914, in ad-
dition to the appropriation made for
the State warehouse commissioner.
That the time of the annual set
tlement by the State warehouse
commissioner with the State Treas
urer and the Comptroller General is
hereby fixed as the first day of April
of each year.

Until last year, when an appropria- tion was obtained from the govern. mcnt for the maintenance of a pub. lie school and teachers, education in Trcadwell was supported by the company of that name. The modern two story school building, with its well lighted halls, comfortable steam heating plant was completed hardly a year ago, and fills a long felt need. Two teachers, a principal and primary teacher, handle the | grades from the first to the eighth inclusive. Two rooms on the main floor arc used as class rooms, two others, as cloak and play-rooms. The second floor of the building is being occupied by the teachers as living quarters. but this part of the struc- ture is constructed so that it may be utilized whenever desired as class rooms.
 Although restricted, in the mater ial used, to paper and cardboard, the school made a very creditable showing, during the last school year. in construction designing and art work. By means of tag days and candy sales. almost one hundred dollars was raised this summer to be used in buying manual training equipment which it is hoped to in troduce into the school this Fall. Sewing and basket weaving will al. so be taught.

Douglas Island Schools
By LENA WHITE

EDUCATIONAL facilities on Doug E las Island have gone hand in
 .: hand with the general develop ment which has been characteristic of all lines Of activity during the last few years. Four institutions of instruction arc located in Douglas and Treadwell where the population of the Island is concentrated. Two schools are public, one maintained in Douglas by the city. the other in Treadwell, partaking of the ma ture of district school and draw ing its revenue from the govern mert. A private school is also con- ducted by the Sisters of St. ann. The fourth institution is govern. ment school where instruction is given the native population at the expense of the Territory
 The Douglas. public school repre- sents the oldest, largest and most thoroughly equipped building on the Island. Through the combined ef- forts of parents and teachers, the standard of scholarship has been raised until the verdict of an edu. cator, after inspecting the Douglas and Juneau public schools. placed them upon a rating second to none on the Pacific Coast. Graduates of the Douglas High Schc ol may enter the state universities of Washing. nd I.o same basis as high school graduates of those states. The three State Normal colleges of Washington, the
The Alaska daily empire., 1916-01-01

Oregon Agricultural College and the Washington State College admit the Douglas graduates without cxamina- tion.
 Of the total enrolment of 22O students during the last school year. there was an average attendance of almost 200. Nine teachers are em. ploycd to instruct in the regular courses of study prescribed for the primary. grammar grades and high school. Four teachers, including the principal. comprise the staff who will give instruction not only to the high school students this year, but to the seventh and eighth grades which will be classified henceforth. as junior high school. By dis. tributing the work of those grades among four high school teachers. instead of allowing it to be handled by one grade teacher, as formerly, it is believed more specialized train. ing and more adequate preparation will be given the student. for the four years of regular high school work to follow. In this way high school and grammar school will each cover a period of six years, with graduation exercises only from the former.
 Manual training will be introduced into the Douglas Public School, on large scale. for the first time this year. One of the high school in. structors, a man, will have charge of this department, from the sixth
