term into next summer will bring
unsatisfactory results, because chill
dren become exhausted as the hot
weather comes on and never do as
satisfactory work.
The closing of the schools was a
necessity. 1t could not be avoided.
But parents can Offset the loss large
ly by having the children study at
home. The nights are growing long
er and several hours Of profitable
study could be done each night, in
addition to observing study hours
during the day. Encourage the chill
dren to undertake regular, system
attic work while the school is closed.
A course of reading in connection
with their studies would be. helpful.
We must not let the cause of educa-
ton, or interest in our schools, lag
even for day or month. A better
educated citizenship is one of South
Cardinals greatest needs.

Have a Carpet of Green or
Every Acre This Winter.

Soil-wasting is the agricultural
South's great economic sin. Every
where we see evidences of it. Our
muddy streams are freighted with
plant foods, leaving behind them gull
lied fields, poor farms and poorer
farmers.
Upon the solution of this prob
lem depends our whole agricultural
future; for there can be no prosper
Gus agriculture without rich lands.
Happily, however, thousands of our
best farmers are already learning
that fertile soil is the very first es-
sential, if profits are to be made, and
are taking steps to save their SOIL
and add to their fertility.
In this work of soil-saving and
soil-building, cover crops are an ab-
solute necessity; and the best of all
cover crops are the legumes, for they
not only hold our soil and the plant
foods and keep them from washing
and teaching away, but at the same
time they are taking nitrogen, our
most needed plant food element, from
the air and storing it for the crops
that are to follow. And of all the le-
gumes that may be used for soil-sav-
ing and soil-building during the fall,
winter and spring months we place
crimson clover first. The seed re-
ouired to plant an acre will usually
cost less than the seed of other win
ter legumes, and the crop is ready to
plow under in April for a crop of
corn to follow. Bur clover finds its
best use as a part of permanent
pasture combination, though some
farmers are using it very successfully
in cultivated fields as cover crop
to be plowed under in the spring,
while the late maturity of vetch
makes it most valuable as a hay crop.
Rye and oats, while they are OF
course not legumes and add no plant
food to the land, are very valuable
cover crops and should be used in all
cases where the legumes are not used.
They of course need no incubation,
and getting good stands of them IS
here is that any good winter cover
comparatively easy.
The point we would emphasize
crop, legume or non-legume, will pay
handsomely. They are so badly need
ed, in fact, that we simply cannot
afford to be without them. Every
farmer should aim to have his whole
farm covered with winter carpet
of green. The rewards will be sure
to come, in the form of richer fields,
bigger crops and more profits.-The
Progressive Farmer.

The closing of the schools through
out the State for a month or posi-
bly, longer just at this time is ex-
tremely unfortunate and yet, it was,
taking all of the circumstances into
consideration, the wise and prudent
thing to do. 1t is unfortunate be-
cause the work of the entire session
will be more or less affected. 1t is
true that the lost time can be made
up by more intensive work through

session into next summer. But nei-

work would probably mean a lack

Prepare Now For Decent Barn
lots This Winter.

August is the summer month when
the farmer has the most leisure. For
this reason we want to again make
a plea for better farm yard conditions
for next winter. Mud and dampness
are the only winter climatic condi-
tions unfavorable to livestock in the
South. We believe that mud and
dampness are greater obstacles to
livestock production in the South
than cold and snow are in the North.
At least the lots can be, drained, the
ground floors under the shelters can
be raised, and the roofs fixed so they
will protect the stock from dampness
next winter. During the dry hotwea-
ther of August one is likely to forget
just how bad the lots and. shelters
were during last winter, but if the
mudholes of last winter are not filled,
the lots raised above the surround
ing land or drained during August
they are not likely to receive much
attention later when farm work be-
comes more pressing: Clean, dry, COM
fortablequarters, even though they
give no protection from the cold, are
best for all animals and being best
save food, or what is more to the
point keep the livestock in better
condition on the same feed:-The

INFORNMS WORLD OF
ITS PROVEN VALUE.
MRS. CONRAD GLADLY TELLS
OF AER GOOD FORTUNE,
GOOD RESULTS QUICK.
HER HUSBAND AGAIN FEELS, LIKE
A Boy AND No LONGER
WORRIES.

Mr.. Philip Conrad, of carlton,
N. Y, suffered so that he used to
get up in the middle of the night
and sit and smoke and try 10 read
to compose his nerves.
Now he feels like boy of ff-
teen. The story of his remarkable
change was told by his wife.
my husband suffered a shock
last Christmas that left him almost
helpless, Mrs. Conrad said. He
became completely run down. His
nervous system was so shattered
that many times he would get up
IN the middle of the night and walk
the floor or smoke or try to read.
He had no appetite and grew very
weak. His stomach had become
disordered and no food seemed to
digest properly.
After we had tried many pre-
scriptions without any results. our
druggist recommended that we try
Tanlac. He said he thought it was
the best possibld medicine that we
could geefor my husband, so sent
for bottle.
He noticed almost immediate
results from the first bottle and
after the fourth day he could sleep.
This started him to building up.
He now sleeps well and has fine
appetite. Tanlac seems to have
built up his entire system, as we
were told it would. He says he
feels like boy of fifteen, he is so
much better in every way. We are
glad to let others know how good
Tanlac is, because we think that
a medicine that will do what Tan
lac does should be advertised every
where no people can learn of it
and be benefited" j."

When Experts Disagree.

The conversation turned to the
subject of damage suits, and this
anecdote was recalled by Senator
George Sutherland, of Utah.
A man in a Western town was
hurt in a railroad accident and af-
ter being confined to his home for
several weeks he appeared on the
street walking with the aid Of
crutches.
"Hello, old fellow!' greeted an
acquaintance, rushing up to shake
his hand. 81 am certainly glad to
see you around again."
"Thanks," responded the injured
one. 81 am glad to be around again.
81 see you are hanging fast to
your crutches," observed the ac-
quaintance. "Can't you do without
them?"
"My doctor says can," answered
the injured party, "but my lawyer
says 1 can't" Philadelphia Tele-

SHAW on IMMIGRATION

George Bernard Shaw has the facul-
~ of being interested whether one
agrees with him or not. One Of his
late announcements is that immi-
grants be tested by the infant mortali-
~ rate of the place from which they
come
Asking immigrants silly questions
as TO whether they are anarchists or
the like" he is quoted as writing for
the London Star, "only ensures that
all immigrant anarchists will also be
liars-whereas a refusal to let in i'm
migrants from places with high in
FAINT death rate would keep out new
Corners from countries that take no
interest in the welfare of the common
people and therefore, presumably, are
unable to send any very desirable adj
ditions to the American stock"
This principle is startling by its
newness, and no less so because of its
common sense. But it ignores one
factor. Perhaps the immigrants are

babies are badly cared for in order to
place themselves where their babies
shall not die And perhaps il there
were in the communities from which
they come to America that interest in
the welfare of the common people
which is in every way SO desirable, the
would-be immigrants would be quite
satisfied to stay at home.
It's a question admitting of consid-
cradle argument, and like all Shavian
utterances, il stimulates thought on
the subject. The fact that high in
FAINT mortality rate indicates a low
standard of civic intelligence and con-
science in any community is without
any ground for question.

ARE TO STOP DEC. !
A War Measure Of Food Admin
istration. Board Agrees
To Necessity
PRESIDENT IS CONSULTED

On July brewers were notified by
the Fuel Administration that their
coal consumption would be reduced
by so per cent pending the period of
exhaustion of materials that they
had in process, and were given pre-
liminary warning that they might not
be able to continue their operations
at all after such exhaustion. At that
time the Food Administration directed
the cessation of further purchases of
raw materials for mailing.
After conference between the Pres
ident and Representatives of the Fuel,
Food, and Railroad Administrations
and the War Industries Board it has
been determined that the further ne
cessity of war industries for the
whole fuel productive capacity of the
country, the considerable drought
which has materially affected the sup
ply of feeding-stuff for next year,
the strain upon transportation to
handle necessary industries, the
shortage of labor, caused by enlarge
ment of the army operations, render
it necessary that brewing operations
of all kinds should cease upon De-
cember 1, until further orders, and
that no further unmalted grains be
purchased for brewing purposes from
this date The Food Administration
has been directed to issue the neces-
sary regulations to this end.
In addition to the above, these adj
ministrations wish to warn the manu-
facturers of all beverages and min
eral waters that for the same rea-
sons there will be further great cur
tailment in fuel for the manufacture
of glass containers, of Tin plate, for
caps, of transportation, and of food
products in such beverages.

RAILROAD PAY

One of the most gratifying results
of Federal railroad operation has been
the reduction of inequalities in pay
The process began with the granting
of higher wages to what might be
called the middle class employees, the
''aristocracy of labor" represented by
the railroad unions. 1t soon became
evident that there was much greater
injustice in the case of hundreds of
thousands of unorganized laborers.
clerks and other employees.
While the trainmen we're getting
$4,000 toS5,000 a year, there were l.
100000 men and women getting less
than S95 per month. and thousands of
them less than $50 month. 1t was
the obvious thing to raise their pay,
as the administration has recently
done.
1t was no less an obvious thing,
though contrary to usual corporate
practice. to go to the other end of the
scale and lower the pay of the high
est-salaried employees. Managers of
lines were getting. in numerous cases,
$4,000 to 100000 a year. Those sal
aries may have been earned, according

NOT AN OUNCE
OF FOOD TO WASTE

Some danger has existed that the
relaxation of restriction in the use of
certain foodstuffs might lead to an err

we were called on to regard bread as
the staff of life and not as raw ma
terial for the relief of nervous fingers.
The facts -. are that there is
not an ounce of food too much in the
world, and that every man, woman and
child is under the sternest necessity
of saving whatever he can of meat and
grain and vegetables We
have not single grain of cereal or a
slice of ham we can AFFORD to waste.
All that we have is needed to keep the
world in shape to beat the Germans,
and to destroy any of it is to contrib
ute directly and powerfully to the
strength of our enemies.

to the accepted standards of big bust
ness; but in system operating under
public control. and particularly in a
system where the director-general
only received $4,000 a year. it seemed
impossible TO justify them.
Some millions have therefore been
Topped of the salaries of managers to
help swell the pay of the humble
wage workers. 1t is a practical appli-
cation of democracy that meets with
public approval.
