LONDON, June % Thy NALL -
England Is being 'swept by an epi-
demic of bad boys.
Ever since war began thousands
OF homes have been left In charge
of mothers whb had depended on
their men to discipline the young
sters. Unrestrained. now that their
fathers are at the front. the father
less generation Is running the gamut
of mischief and petty crime.
American mothers left In the same
predicament at the beginning of the
Spanish American war will under
stand how sorely tried are the Eng
lishwomen In attempting to Keep
thir sons in the paths OF righteous
ness. The situation IL aggravated
because the war has given rise TO
|impetuous actions and words on the
PART OF the youngsters. who daily
read and hear of carnage and pas
sion In the war zones.
In appealing for funds for home
for boys today the Bishop of Nam
leicester declared that anyone who
has seen mother trying to manage
la boy between the ages OF II and
lie knows she has her hands full.
Her control is an appeal to the boys
affection and 1t is very difficult for
her to enforce the needed appeal to
the boys sense OF duty"
Hundreds of boys have been ar
rested for petty offenses who are too
young to join the colors and too old
to put up with feminine discipline.
Juvenile homes are rapidly filiias
lup with boys who have been declar-
ed incorrigibIe after numerous Az
pearances in court. The London
papers carry advertisements offering
counsel and help to mothers whose
sons have become unruly. The priv
ate services OF men who have had
wide experience in handling boys arc
Offered. Records show that the ma
jority OF these bad boys come from
war widows homes.

creameries Open New Market.

A great handicap to farmers in the
past in the matter of diversifying their
farming interests has been the lack of
marketing facilities. The local mar
kets afforded by the small towns
throughout the State have not been
adequate in disposing of the various
farm products. This lack of profita-
Bile market has prevented hundreds OF
farmers from branching out along new
lines. The establishment Of creame-
ries is a great boon to farmers who
are in position to enlarge the dairy
in connections nIwith the farm.
The Clemson creamery has been of
great benefit to the Piedmont farmers.
During the past year 1872 farmers sold
their cream to Clemson college, receiv-
ing an average price of % cents per
pound for butter fat. The average
monthly shipment to the creamery were
ll,5ol pounds. There is creamery at
Yorkvllle and one IS being erected IN
Darlington.
The announcement has also been
made that creamery will soon be es-
tabllshed in Augusta, which will not
only provide steady demand for cream
wilnin radius of many miles of Au-
gusta, but will cause many farmers to
increase the number of cows kept on
the farm, knowing that there will be a
constant demand tor the cream.
The establishment of more dairies
means more fertilizers for the land,
more attention given to growing hay
and feed crops, more attention to stock
raising generally. A stimulus would
be given to diversifcation along other
lines, if farmers had profitable out
let for the products.

Make Rainy Days Profitable.

We are frequently admonished to
improve each shining hour, but car
we not likewise turn the dark, rainy
days to profitable account? When the
out-of-door work is interfered with in
winter, something can always be found
indoors to engage our attention that
will ultimately be just as profitable.
One great need of to-day is greater
efficiency on the. part of our people,
and our efficiency can be increased by
devoting the long winter evenings
and rainy days to intellectual culture,
equipping ourselves for more intelli-
gent and successful management of
the business intrusted to US, whether it
be our own or that of others.

Now PAY Tax Only Once a Year.

Some counties hove announced that
an increased tax levy will be necessa-
ry for 1916, in order to meet the deficit
caused by the absence of dispensary
profits. Well, taking common sense
view of the matter, is it not better to
paw a little more tax to the county
treasurer once a year than to pay a
larger tax daily or weekly to the county
dispenser? The "dry" counties have
learned from experience that it is far
better to let the tax pass through the
treasurer's office than over the dispen-
sary counter.
