The fact remains however, that the Ger unable to break through the British line, and whatever the of this may have been to the defenders. they gave ample proof of their ability to maintain the blockade which they regard sary to the successful prosecution of the

TREES ARE KILLED
 BY POISONED MASH

W. E L'Hame of Cochise, Arizona, writes the following in regard to the use of poisoned mash for destroying grasshoppers: 'I will relate to you my experience with noppers in my orchard this year, as 1t may prove valuable to some other farmers in the future. When fighting the hoppers l placed around every tree poisoned bran mash about every other day. So in the course of time quite a bit &C., cumuiated around every tree. As soon as the rainy season began. the hop pers let up and my orchard made q new start. After a few days. how

A close examination showed that the rain water dissolved the poison-and killed | the bark where the trunk meets the earth As long as the weather con | tinued dry the poison was inactive, and it should have been removed be- fore the rains came. I lost nearly 90 per cent of my trees but hope it will help some one else from simi- l lar mistakes"

HIS FIRST RIDE ON
TRAIN IN 81 YEARS

tEdgefield, Dec. 3-Mr. Joe Cor
ley, who is 65 years old, born and
reared in this county and living ten
miles east Of this place, has Just had
to him, novel experience, in going
to Columbia. Not that a visit to the
capital city is so wonderful a feat
but because he went by rail, and this
was absolutely the first time that he
has travelled on "a railroad since he
was years old. Mr.. Corley is by
no means wild man; on the con-
trary he is a good. sober, prosperous
and intelligent citizen, but staye-
and sticker at home. and what trav-
cling ha has done has been by dirt
road. friend visited him a few
days ago, himself traveller of some
note, recited to Mr.. Corley the pleas
ures incident to railroad riding, and
prevailed upon him, ere it was too
late, to take the trip. So the two
went, and there was delight in the
going. They took in the fair city on
the Congaree from "garret to cellar"
and Mr.. Corley has returned a wiser
ana happier man. He says his love
Tor home still burns in his heart. vet
ne now has a little "hankering" to
see the things OF the world, and in
the future will spread out some.

FOOLISH PARENTS TO BLAME.

The head OF a great business con,
cern said the other day that while he
did not pretend to prescribe the dress
his employees should wear. he did in.
tend that his stenographers and 9TH
er female help should not come to
work dressed for ball. 1t is all a
question of what it fitting. Elabor-
ate clothes are for elaborate occas-
ions. ~ work they make the wearar
at least ridiculous. and sometimes
raise unpleasant questions. the very
mildest OF which is that the wearer
is foolish. In the schools, where the
comparative dress OF pupils is a real
problem, the question goes much
iurther There is no doubt at all
that the over dressing of children in
the public schools has very bad re-
suits. in more than one direction.
Grown people hardly realize the
heartburnings of children who can
not make the same appearance as
their fellows. However foolish il
may be. the child is but a child and
his feelings are very real to him. All
this business of elaborate clothes on
school children, of expensive gradu-
alton gowns and presents, Is not on
ly foolish but wrong 1t creates
snobs on the one hand and envy
and heartburnings on the other.
The uniforms OF the English public
schools serve the excellent purpose
OF preventing invidious distinction in
dress. The collegiate cap and gown,
once universally worn, served the
same end. 1t would be an excellent
thing If children in the public schools
were obliged to wear a simple uni
form garb. 1t would put no burden
on any one and would stop vast
amount of nonsense.
Though attempts are constantly
being made by school principals to
keep down the tendency to over
dressing among pupils 1t is a ques-
tion whether school officials have any
power to make or enforce sumptuary
laws. At present they are more or
less helpless in the face of thought
less parents. 1t is the parents who
are to blame, not the children.
The principa, of the Marysville
high school has issued an edict that
powder puffs, primping and stylish
clothes will not be tolerated at
school. In this case the pupils have
taken him at his word and have
donned overalls and aprons as a joke
on the worthy principal. their Joke
will be good one IL carried OUT

FOR MORE CATTLE.

The people OF South Carolina
should not be stampeded to the
planting of cotton to the exclusion Of
all other things that may be grown
in South Carolina. There is every
reason to believe that cotton will not
go below II cents for another year
or so, and that the average price may
be higher.
Even the 90 cents cotton would be
produced at a loss if we must use
that money to buy grain meat. hay
aud canned stuff that can be pro-
duced and marketed at home. For
the price OF all OF those commOdi-
ties will be high. on a parity with
the increase i'm the price of cotton.
The banks and the supply merchants
should impress it upon the farmers
that the first consideration is to plant
the crops necessary to the operation
OF the farm, and then to put in the
biggest crop of cotton that can be
grown and cultivated successfully
1T would not be wisdom to be giving
over an entire farm to cotton if it
could not be cultivated.
The propaganda for sheep should
bo given more serious attention.
This State loses the opportunity to
make millions by letting the hillsides
''lie out" when they could be made
nuire the same pasturage as cattle.
And with two packing houses being
built in this State. more attention
should be given to cattle.
The gradually increasing dispro-
portion between the nations popu-
1ation and it's food supply, long ago
foreseen by such economics as the
late James j. Hill. appears to be fol-
lowing prophecy. A bulletin from
Washington says that the population
24.000.000 in the past fifteen years.
The number of beef animals has de-
creased 100000 and sheep 1O,-
100000. while hogs have increased
but 100000.
The decline in our meat supply is
due wholly to decreased production
and to nothing else. We have more
mouths to feed and raise less meat
with which ia feed them. Stopping
exports would. OF course, ease the
situation to some extent. But that
process OF building up our meat sup
ply is going at the problem back
wards. We have got to go in for
cattle raising on a more extensive
scale. Fundamentally, it is as gro
tesque for America to import meat
from the Argentine as 1t is for New
