Sweet Potato Quarantine.

Clemson College, April 26.-Spe-
cial: Attention is directed to an i'm
portant regul. ton of the South Caro-
lima State CroE Pest Commission,
which provides that all plants ship
ped into the State, or within the State
Of South Carolina, for planting pur-
poses, shall have attached q permit
Of the South Carolina State Crop
Pest Commission. Particular atten-
tion is called to the shipment of
sweet potatoes and potato slips at
this season Of the year. When these
are shipped into the State without a
permit it is a violation of law. This
resolution is intended to prevent, if
possible, the introduction Of danger
GUS sweet potato diseases occurring
in some sections Of the country. Fur
thcrmore, certain Southern States
are infested by the sweet potato root
borer, most destructive species Of
weevil, and any one intending to
ship sweet potatoes from any point
outside of the State, either for plant
ing or for other purposes, Is request
ed to write to this commission to de-
termine whether these shipments are
from disease-free or weevil-free ter
rtory.

received at headquarters OF the en-
gagement around ,seicheprey show
that the American troops were out
numbered, in some instances eight to
one.
More Of the American wounded
were found to-day, one Of whom was
buried alive for three days and had
been trampled over by the enemy
"hen he had crawled to the surface,
in the belief that he was dead. The
American casualties are considerably
less than the first estimates.

MARINES FIGHTING AT FRONT.
First List of Casualties Sustained by
Marine Corps.

Washington, April 25.--The total
losses Of the brigade Of marines with
the American neutrality-suspicious. in
France so far reported was announc-
ed to-day by Major Gen. Barnett,
commandant of the corps, as PTS,
divided as follows:
Killed in action, 90.
Died Of wounds, 10.
Died Of accidents, 2.
Wounded in action, 244.
All the dead are enlisted men, but.
eight officers, two captains and six
lieutGnants, were among the wound
ed. Five of the enlisted men were
slightly wounded. But Gen. Bar
nett's statement did not show whe-
ther the officers and other men were
severely or slightly hurt.
Most Of the casualties were in one
company, which, Gen. Barnett said,
lost a total Of Fl men killed and 40
wounded out Of a personnel Of $50.
The dates on which the marines were
killed and wounded were not made
public, nor was it indicated what
part of the line the Soldiers of the
sea" are holding or in what actions
they have participated. Such infor-
nation is withheld for military rea-
sons.
Holding Front Line Trench.
1t is known, however, that the ma
rines have been holding a front-line
trench sector for several weeks, hav-
ing been moved up to the battle line
after doing police duty along the
American lines of communication
since they first went to France with
the vanguard Of Gen. Pershing's
forces last summer.
To-day's list was the first marine
corps casualty list made public, and
included all names reported up to
April 23. Since the marines are con-
sidered an integral part of the army
. in France, officials of the corps had
expected their casualties to be in
cluded in those Of the army an
nounced by the War Department. In
quiry, however, developed that such
was not the case and the compiling
of complete list was ordered by
Gen. Barnett. 1t was regarded as
probable that some Of the names
announced to-day previously had
been issued by the War Department
in the regular army lists made pub
lie daily.

LEADING KANSANS ENDORSE
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS

"You are supporting the two wal
amendments, of course?"
what war amendments?"
"Why, the amendments to Ameri.
canize the ballot in Kansas, and the
amendment to make our State
schools, which are really great war
plants, more efficient by putting them
on permanent basis and separating
their funds from other State funds in
the same way that the other school
funds are kept separate and sacred
to education"
"You bet, Pm for them both"
That is the way everybody talks
when he understands the purpose of
the two amendments to the State
Constitution that are to be voted on
November 5.
The State Council of Defense re-
CARDS the Permanent Income Amend
ment as of so much Importance that
it has appointed committee on edu-
cational efficiency to bring it to the
attention of voters so that no one
may inadvertently fail to vote for it
through lack of understanding.
"The war has placed a new bur-
den on our Schools" declared Ed. T.
Hackney of Wellington, chairman of
the committee. "They are training
specialists for this highly technical
war. Their shops, laboratories and
classrooms have hundreds of men
wearing the khaki under detail from
Uncle Sam and helping to make the
world safe for all of us.
"These institutions must be made
permanent and to be permanent they
must have a permanent income"
The difference between the old
grab-bag method and the new is that
the Legislature will determine the
fixed and regular needs of the State
educational institutions and establish
a levy to meet these needs and that
levy will continue until the need
changes.
The Legislature can change the
levy at any time.
Leading business men have urged
for years that the schools are big
business institutions and that the best
business methods should be used in
supporting them.
Members of the Legislature have
long appreciated the wastefulness of
the old plan.
The presiding officers of the. two
houses, W. Y. Morgan, lieutenant
governor, and A. M. Keene, speaker
of the house, say: "We are convinced
that the Permanent Income Amend
ment would greatly expedite the work
of future Legislatures and allow them
to provide for the schools more eff
fectively and efficiently"
The official State war body adopted
a resolution, July IL, 1918, in which
it says, "The Council of Defense full
ly endorses both of the amendments

SENATE CURRENT
RESOLUTION NO. 18.

A proposition to amend section L
of article 5 of the constitution of the
state of Kansas relative to the right
of suffrage.
Be it resolved by the Legislature
of the state of Kansas, two-thirds OF
the members elected to each house
thereof concurring therein:
Section 1. The following PROPOSE
ton to amend the constitution Of
the state of Kansas is hereby sub
mitted to the qualified electors of the
state for their approval or rejection:
That section / of article 5 of the con-
stitution of the state of Kansas be
amended to read as follows:
Section 1. Every citizen of the
United States of the age of twenty
one years and upwards-who shall
have resided in Kansas six months
next preceding any election, and in
the township or ward in which ne or
she offers to vote, at least thirty days
next preceding such election-shall
be deemed qualified elector.
Section 2. That this proposition
shall be submitted to the electors OF
the state at the general election in
the year 1918 for their approval or
rejection. The amendment hereby
proposed shall be designated on the
ballot by the following title: 1.-THE
suffrage amendment to the constitu-
tion," and shall be voted for or
against as provided by law under such
title.
Section 8. That this resolution
shall take effect and be in force from
and after its publication in the stat
ute book.
Passed by the Senate February 20,
1917.
Passed by the House March 8,
1917.
Approved March IL, 1917.
hereby certify that the forego-
ing is true and correct copy Of the
original Senate Concurrent Resolu-
ton No. 10, now on file in my office.

and asks the people of Kansas to vote
FOR fhafan 1uar naaa cI1rac "

and asks the people of Kansas to vote
for them as war measures"
Under the new plan the people will
know what they are raising money
for and the funds used for expenses
of the State can be more easily scrut-
inized.
The schools will be able to save
money, on salaries, on maintenance,
and on construction work, since they
can plan for years along lines of
greatest economy and efficiency.
The State will thus enable its Bust
ness Manager to get the best results
by giving him the same conditions
for doing his work that any business
manager of great concern should
have.
The Amendment will take the State
Institutions out of politics.
1t will make higher education in
the future safe for Kansas children
now in the elementary and secondary
schools.
1t will prevent selfish interests of
one kind and another from seeking to
use money which ought to go to the
schools.
1t will, by introducing permanence
into school affairs, tend to keep
strong men from leaving Kansas for
positions in institutions having more
permanence.
1t will relieve the Legislature from
the impossible task of trying to mas
ter, in few days, the intricacies Of
large appropriation bills.
It will put Kans s alongside Of the
other sixteen st, IS which have
adopted the fixed limited income
method

PARTY IS READY To
BUILD l8 HOUSES
Will Begin Soon II Suitable Lots Can
Be Bought at q Fair
Price

"only the high price of building lots
in Baxter is holding back the con.
struction Of new houses at the present
time. Men who come here to invest
with the purpose Of building one or
more houses find that the price Of lots
taking into consideration such q great
number Of vacant lots, is too high and
they back away from any investment.
This has happened frequently during
the past year and is still happening" !"
according to c. NJ. Sarchet, secretary
Of the Chamber Of Commerce, who
adds that "there should be some pro-
gram outlined to encourage the build
ing Of homes"
The Chamber of Commerce is in
touch with one party, ut the present
time, who wants to move eighteen
houses to Baxter that will rent from
SO to SIP per month, and with anoth-
er who desires to sell 15 more such
houses to be moved here. Also with
one lumbermaa who desires to build
several modern bungalows and cot
tages, but who has been unable thus
far to find satisfactory lots at Q price
that he considers he can pay and then
put up the houses.
Real estate men generally report q
better condition here than for several
months past. There are numerous
inquiries for houses and the rule is
that there are no desirable vacant
houses in town. They are unanimous
that houses that will rent from $25 to
$50 per month will 90 like hot cakes.

ORE STOREHOUSEs
BY FIRST MONTH
Many Questions Asked Concern
ing Opening of Lead and
Zinc StOrehOuses for
This District

Numerous operators throughout the
Missouri Kansas Oklahoma field are
asking the question: "How Is the
warehouse proposition to be handled
and what are the benefts?"
The question Is not hard one 10
answer. In the first place, the Ore
Storage Warehouses, with the one to
open December /, will be equipped
with automatic dumps, thus elimina-
ting the necessity Of employing q
"jack backer." Chemists will be on
hand to sample and assay the ore i'm
mediately after being placed in the
bins. The ore will be taken to the
bin by automatic conveyors, doing
away with another man to shovel.
Everything will be done promptly and
accurately and within two hours after
delivery TO the warehouse, the opera
tor will know exactly how much he
may expect to borrow on his ore ct
the bank,
The benefits to be derived from the
proposed warehouse plan by the oper-
ators are manifold. For n nominal
cost the operator knows his ore Is
safe; knows he may borrow money
for running expenses upon short no.
tice, and further, that there Is but
small chance for a so called slump"
in the market.
With the establishment Of an ore
storage system throughout the Mis-
souri, Kansas Oklahoma mining dis
trict, the first step toward q much
needed standardization Of product and
price, has been taken.
