According to some sources, the

the little banks out of business and

The Republican newspapers of the

w OF THRIFT IS SHOWN
Governments of Europe Have Financed
Great War Largely by Means of
Peoples Savings.

Fundamentally, the cause for indus
trial and commercial progress lies in
individual effort. Industrial effort de-
ponds in the main upon mans de-
sire to acquire, and accumulation is
the result. Thus accumulation be-
ONE potent in turning the wheels Of
universal progress.
Thrift is but the expression of ra-
tional saving-of consistent accumula-
ton.
1t is manifestly important that a
nations people acquire the habit of
saving, of conservation-the elimina-
ton of waste-of thrift.
In these days of expanding huge
sums for destructive as well as con-
structive purposes there is an in
creasing need of intoxicating in the
mind of the people habits of thrift.
National efficiency cannot be secured
without first obtaining the assurance
of financial assistance.
During the perilous times of the
Civil war, Jay Cooke was the n a

called upon the people for their saw
ings, and out there poured into hnan-
cial Golfers one billion dollars in the
aggregate.
The governments of Europe have
called again and again upon their peo-
pie for assistance to finance the war,
thereby recognizing the tremendous
value and the power of individual
thrift. The chancellor of the ex-
chequer's committee on small war
loans testi1es to the fact, for in every
post office in the kingdom an agency
is maintained and people invest in the
government securities.
When the war broke out approx
mately 24,000,000 persons in Germany
had on deposit in public savings banks
S. 500, DOC, 900, an average of about

ing the first year Of the war this
amounted to more than six billions.
OF the first two war loans, amount

the totpl of these subscriptions
amounting to s715.25O 900, depositors
were credited. with Sc Clio per e n on

DEPENDS ON SAVINGS
INDUSTRIAL WORLD GETS CAP
ITAL FROM WAGE FARMERS.
Workers, Through Medium of Banks,
Own Securities of Concerns
Which Employ Labor.

The savings banks of the country
are the collectors of capital. Into
them the people put their funds and
1t Is through them hat enterprises,
bent on enlarging the industrial ac-
tivities of the country, secure the
funds with which to do this work.
The savings banks of the country hold
In their vaults securities approximate
ing $4,000, 100000 in value. 1t will
thus be seen that the savers of the
country, who are largely from the
w~age-earning class, own the securities
which represent the capital invest
ments of the concerns which pay
wages. This degree of mutually be-
tween capital and labor Is too fire.
quently overlooked.
1t grows without saying that If the
savings bank depositors of the coun-
try should undertake simultaneously
to withdraw from the banks the funds
they have on deposit, they would
wreck not only the banks but the
country. Counting all kinds of money
and currency in the country there is
q triie over $4,000, 600, 900. This in
cludes gold, silver, ~greenbacks, gold
and silver certificates, national bank
notes and federal reserve notes. The
deposits In savings banks alone are
two and one-half times as great as the
total amount of money of all kinds In
the country. The difference between
these two amounts marks to some ex-
tent the degree to which credit Is
utilized and credit is measured by the
confidence of the people in the finan-
cial system.
h wealth that reposes In a bank,
therefore, is not in the form of money
but In the form of securities which
represent capital investments.
II the country is to go on expanding
commercially and increasing its indus
trial activity it is necessary that there
be constant additions to the capital.
In other words the deposits in the saw
ings banks must be constantly en-
larged II industrial and commercial
progress is to be maintained. Before
the great wal in Europe started this
country had access to the surplus
funds which were produced by the
thrifty peoples Of Europe. That ource
of supply has been cut off and 1t is
doubtful If it will be %reopened for
many years to come. There has been
an enormous destruction of capital as
the result of the war and when peace
comes the belligerent nations will
have their powers of thrift severely
tested by efforts to replace what has
been destroyed. 1t is, therefore, in
cumbent upon the people of this coun-
try to produce by the process of say
ing the funds which will be needed for
the capitalization of all sorts of enter
prises which will mark the develop.
ment and progress of the country and
give employment TO its labor.

Congress Directs Interstate Commerce
Commission to Investigate Subject.
Washington--The annual Post Of
fee appropriation bill recently passed
by Congress contains a clause directing
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to take up for investigation, report and
the fixing of rates the system of pay
ment to the railroads for carrying mail
The Commission is authorized to test
the relative merits of payment by
weight and by space.
The railroads have long contended
that they were u%nderpatd for this serv-
ice and that they were losing millions
of dollars a year under the system of
payment now In effect 1t was felt
that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, on account of the information
at its command regarding all phases
Of railroad operation, is IN the best po-
sition to determine the merits of the

LONG HOURS A RARITY.
Only Once In Five Years Does Average
Trainman Exceed Legal Limit.

Only Once In Five Years Does Average
Trainman Exceed Legal Limit
That long hours In train service have
been reduced to a minimum Is shown
by a report issued by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. Only n m
ploye In five on the average last year
was compelled to remain on duty o
than sixteen hours during any one day
In the whole year. Stated In another
way. the chance of an eng1neman or
trainman remaining on duty beyond
this prescribed limit was reduced to
once In five years.
The total number of cases of excess
service from all causes reported to the
commission was only 61,247 during the
year ending June 80, 1915, as CON-
pared with 37,439 In 1914 and 270,827
IN 1913, and with rare exceptions these
represented cases recognized as due to
unavoidable causes.
Statistics on this subject are collected
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion under the national hours-of-service
law. Every time a train Is so de-
layed by a blizzard, washout or 9th
er cause that any part of the train
crew is on duty longer than sixteen
hours the railroad company u re-
port the occurrence to the commission
giving the names of the Individual EN-
pIoyes concerned and a full statement
of the cause for the excess service.
Eor covorai vaara fha rai1Pnada and
the Interstate Commerce Commission
have been cooperating IN efforts to
prevent the keeping of employees on
duty for long periods. The reduction
Of nearly 80 per cent. In such cases
which has been brought about In three
years shows that the working Of men
for long stretches Of continuous service
has practically disappeared except in
rare cases Of unavoidable delay.

CONTROL. OF LICE AND MITES
Bulletin on Subject Issued by Experts
of Connecticut Station-Three
Good Remedies.

Bulletin No. sc of the Storrs agri-
cultural experiment station on the sub
iect, "Some Lice and Mites on the
Hen" by Lamson and Manter, places
emphasis on the following points:
That there is much confusion re-
garding the relative harmful effects Of
the lice and mites owing to the fact
that the lice are more easily seen, with
the result that they are often accused
of causing injury actually done by
mites.
That the lice can be easily con-
trolled by the use Of blue ointment
rubbed on the hen.
That carbolenium or one of the coal
tar products will kill or repel the
mites if applied once a year by the
right method to the rooSts.
That caraway oil proves the best
control measure for the scaly leg
mite.

PLANTING CATS IN THE FALL
Crop May Be Scwn as Late as Latter
Part of Observation-Disclosures
age in Four Weeks.

(By W. R. DODSON. Louisiana Expert
ment StationO
The genuine ruStproof oats, from
homegrown seed, may be sown as late
as the latter part of November. From
early sowing good pasturage will be
furnished in four weeks from date of
sowing. We prefer not to SOW less
than two bushels per acre. The land
should be well prepared and the seed
covered to q depth of IL to two
inches. Late sowing should not be
covered so deep. If grain drill Is
not available, gGDd disk harrow
serves the purpose well to cover the
seed An ordinary iron-tooth harrow
will serve as Il last resort. Sowing
seed in advance of the turn plow is
sometimes practiced, but the results
are uncertain, and this is not consid-
cred good practice.
AS to whether or not the land
should be pastured during wet wealth
er depends upon the quality of the
land. If the soil is deficient in vege-
table matter and has large amount
of clay it is liable to become very
hard in dry weather. Little If any
Louisiana land will be injured by pas
turage when the soil is dry enough to
permit of plowing. If land is to be
selected especially for winter pasture
crops that do not form permanent
sod, the sandy soil should be selected.

Prepared by the United States Depart

Promise of heavier crop OF seed
of the expensive wax or white Ber-
muda onion il the Canary islands,
where practically tie entire supply OF
onion seed for use in this country is
grown, has been reported by United
States consular agents in the islands.
at the time the report was made, a
month in advance of harvest, the crop
OF seed of the yellow or Canary onion,
had suffered greatly because Of
drought and showed loss estimated
at from 10 to 90 per cent. The red
onion seed crop also had suffered. but
to less extent than the yellow.
The crop of Canary island onion
seed of all varieties for 1915 practi-
cally was exhausted, it is declared, and
farmers therefore will run less risk OF
receiving seed in which old stock has
been mixed. 1t is suggested, however,

space under the house into which cats
and dogs can go for rats without being
able to get at the pigeons. This is
usually accomplished by building the
house y to "A inches above the

leaving small doors for cats and dogs.

that American buyers should be care
full to deal with firms known to be
reliable.
Factors in determining the price OF
onion seed this season, it was stated,
in addition to the condition OF the
crop already mentioned, include q de-
crease in the demand from Argentina
and Cuba and an increase in freight
rates. The seed Will probably reach
the United States over freight routes
somewhat different from those made
use of in the past. Delays in trans
shipment by way Of England last year
have led to abandonment of that route
to considerable extent. The bulk or
the crop, it is thought, will be routed
by way of Porto Rico to New Orleans
or via Havana to New York. Alto
gether it seemed probable ut the time
the report was made that the cost OF
Bermuda onion seed in America should
be somewhat lower this year.
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1916-11-08

average Of S1.75 per bale for low mid
ding to an average OF $3.50 per bale
for good middling. The total loss on
$50 bales of the white grades sampled
by the Investigators was S2,715.2O, or
an average of S4.63. In these calcula-
tions, it should be said, proper allow
ance was made for the cost of ginning.
In some instances, it is true, the farm
er gained by selling his cotton in the
seed, but these We're far too few to
alter the general result.
There is, moreover, another diSad-
vantage inherent in the practice. Not
only does the farmer usually lose in
the marketing of any one crop, but he
is seriously hindercd in improving his

TROUBLE WITH CHICKS LEGS
Afflicted Fowls Cannot Walk, but Ap-
petites Remain Unabated-Exer-
else Is Lacking.

In many Rocks, without apparent
cause, some of the chicks lose control
of their legs. The afflicted chicks cam
not walk, but their appetites remain
unabated. This condition usually re-
suits from too heavy feeding without
sufficient exercise.
The chicks legs, through the lack
of exercise, have become too weak to
carry the rapidly increasing weight
of the body.
