POLITICAL NEWS GOSSIP

tative {. N. Macarthur of the por.-
l."G Oregon, district. Il have ro-
c"aved numerous letters protesting
against this form of tax, which was
recommended in the last annual mes
sage of President Wilson. The feeling
IN my district is decidedly against
such legislation. Concerns in my
state that would be hit especially hard
by a stamp tax on bank checks are
creameries. Most of these creameries
pay their patrons twice month, and
in some instances, at the end of each
week, in amounts varying from 81 to
$40. If such bill is passed it would
place heavy burden upon individuals
and business concerns of every char
acter throughout the United States.
have received many protests, particul-
arly from creameries, which have de,
veloped their business and encourage
ed dairying by paying at the end OF
each week, or every two weeks, for
dairy products. This not only puts
money into circulation, but has en-.
couraged the dairying industry and has
drawn men away from their old me-
Ihods of grain farming and stand
ing off their creditors until alter the
harvest. A law requiring stamps for
bank checks would compel creamerics
tc pay their patrons at the end or
the month. or adopt some system to
trading stamps. | hope the Ways and
Means Committee will heed these pro
tests which mean so much, not only to
the creamery and dairying interests,
but to the entire business world"

ty decisive demonstration that there is
no sentiment this year for any hyphen-
ated Republican movement. Men who
believe in the broad fundamental prin-
ciples of the party are working to-
gether for the return of the party to
control of national policies and only a
very few are disposed to quarrel over
minor issues. Progressives are no,
asked to abandon their progressive
principles. No one has a right to
make such demand. All who prefer
Republican principles and construc-
tive administration to Democratic
vacillation, broken promises and mail
administration are uniting under the
Republican banner.

MOTHER JONES SAYS
STRIKE TOO QUIET

New York, Oct 6.--"New York's

stirred women to the riot stage last
night. commented thus today, prom
ising at the same time that the me-
tropolis would see some "ireworks''
before she was done. With every
sentence she pounded her fist on a
table to drive home her remarks.

Is Just the start of a social revolution

had hoped that 1t was not. but II is.

in any nation. They start reforms

A twinkle came into her eyes and
the set lines OF her face relaxed.

the riot incident, You know wo-
men are queer"
Just then the telephone rang. A

CLEMSON'S PUBLIC SERVICE

During last fiscal year, more
than half of the fertilizer tax
was returned directly to the farm
ers in the form of public service.
This service included the demon
stration and extension work, the
maintenance of two branch eXper-
lment stations, fertilizer inspec-
ton and analysis, scholarships,
veterinary inspection, and control
of contagious diseases, co-opera-
tive experimental work with
farmers, protection against plant
diseases and insect pests, designs
of rural school buildings, etc.
These lines of work cost last fiscal
year ,323.99.
Any farmer in need of techni-
cal expert advice on agricultural
subjects should not hesitate to
write to the College for Informal
ton. The inquiry will be re-
ferred to the proper expert and Il
prompt answer will be received.
The College officials write nearly
10000 such letters annually. and
send out nearly half million
pieces of printed matter.

CLENISON'S HANDSOME
Y. M. G.. A. BUILDING

Just north of the textile school
at Clemson College there is reared
magnificent structure that is
an important factor in the social
and religious life Of the student
body at the States agricultural
and mechanical college. 1t is the
building of the Young Mems
Christian Association, one of the
first association structures in the
South, and one of the finest col
legc association buildings in the
country. 1t cost $4,000 and was
made possible by the generosity
of MIR. John ID. Rockefeller, who
donated $4,000 on condition that
the balance should be forthcom-
ing. The College trustees appro-
prlated $4,000, which left S13.-
600 still to be raised. This sum
was made up by the loyalty and
contributions from cadets. fac
ulty, alumni and former students.
Some of the rccreational fea-
lures of the building are an up
to.date swimming pool, bowling
alleys. games room. reading and
lounglng rooms. cafe and audi
tOrium for lectures. concerts. NOV
ing pictures. etc. Ample provis-
ion is made in the building for
the spiritual work of the associa-
ton.

ton, but we would suggest from
90 pounds per acre on poor land
up, according to the fertility of
the soil.
Early applications are coming
into favor. We recommend that
the soda be applied to corn when
1T is between knee and waist high,
to cotton just as the shapes begin
to form, and to small grain in
March. Care should be taken not
to sow nitrate of soda on wet
plants, because it is likely to scald
them. 1t is best to apply it just
after rain, when the moisture
had dried off the leaves of the
plants, then cultivate with q
mulch forming implement as soon
nc the ground is dry enough to
plow.

RESULTS OF TOP-DREssING
Best Times to Apply Nitrate of
Soda to Corn, Cotton and Grain.

Results obtained at the South
Carolina Experiment Station
show that top-dressing with nj
trate of soda gives good results on
cotton, corn and small grains. The
increase is most marked during Il
wet year, because this nitrogen is
already in an Immediately avail
able form, while the rotting of
the organic sources does not pro-
ceed as rapidly as usual on ac-
count of the excess of moisture in
the soil. The amount to apply per
acres varies with the fertility of
