SEA SCOUTS FROM ENGLAND

THAT the splendid work done by
British sea scouts during the war pc
riod is appreciated by England Is
shown by the special arrangements
which have been made for their bene-
fit with the White Star line" writes
James e. West, chief scout executive.
''Every White Star liner, whether
making port in New York, Boston or
Halifax, carries two or three British
sea scouts who are shipped as cadets
are regular members of the crew and
are getting an unforgettable and fasci-
mating experience of real seafaring.
"Some of these boys learn to love
their good ship and the life of the sea
so well that they continue in the serv-
ice, sail the seven seas, make strange
ports, and eventually become mates,
officers or shippers"
In New York, DR.. J. J. Macdonald,
an American scoutmaster, is always
ready at the pier to greet these Brit
ish boys, and to take charge of them
as long as they remain ON shore.

METHOD IN THEIR MOVEMENT
Veteran of the Ptatns Explained Why
Buffaloes Invariably Travelled on
Zig-Zag Course.

No person ever saw q herd of buff
falo move in straight line They al
ways took a Zig-Zag course. The late
Buffalo" Jones explained this as fol-
lows: "a buffalo is very cautious
animal. His shaggy forehead prevents
him seeing objects on either side. To
prevent a surprise from an enemy he
walks obliquely to the right and then
to the left and thus gets an unob-
structed view of the surrounding coun-
try"
The buffalo had many small traits
that are lacking in cattle. The buffalo
never mired in swamps or pools as
cattle do. When they found they were
becoming stuck they threw themselves
on their sides and swan or padded
through the mud as hog does. They
always had guards out day and night
to warn the herd of approaching dam
ger. They always faced a storm and
never "drifted," as do cattle. They
lay down with their heads to the
fiercest storms, tossing their heads
around on their sides and sleeping
contentedly, while the great mass of
fur on their humps protected them
from the winds.

SCOUTS LIKE WOOL CAMP DUDs

Bodily moisture can evaporate
through woolens much more easily
than through cotton or linen cloth,
which keeps the moisture in its texture
until it is thoroughly saturated. And
1t is the dampness next to the skin that
causes colds and chills-so stick to
woolens.
But, see that you wash 'em right
You kill their BITTERNESS right off If
you let little bits of soap get In be-
tween the fibers and thus clog up the
channels through which the moisture
is supposed to go.
A good way is to soak the garments
In lukewarm suds, then squeeze out
the water by pulling the woolens
through the hands. And don't twist or
wiring, If you don't want to invite
stretching or shrinking.
Just get out as much Of the water as
you possibly can and hang the "duds"
up to dry.

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.

As the result Of the closing Of the
stores yesterday afternoon from tc
o'clock while the goth Division Spe-
cial, otherwise known as the Victor
Loan Trophy Train, was at the A c.
L. passenger station, there was q
very large crowd present to hear the
speeches delivered by Congressman
Lever and the Victory Loan cam
paigners. There was nothing es-
pecially striking or inspiring about
any Of the speeches; but they all did
the best they could to work UP en-
thusiasm and 70 impress upon the
people that it is their duty to sub
scribe for bonds as long and as often
as the government calls upon them
to do SO. Which fact most people
know and will admit when cornered,
but upon which comparatively few
act up to the limit Of their ability.
The crowd was very evidently more
interested in the war trophies on the
train than in the speeches. but there
were SO many people present and
the time left after the speeches so
short that not many had an oppor-
unity to make an intelligent inspec-
ton Of the contents of the train.

Cotton Killed in
The Piedmont
Cotton Association Request
Farmers Plant Corn Instead

Columbia, April pa statement
given out by the South Carolina Cot
ton Association says that reports by
representatives from the Piedmont
section indicate that all cotton in
that section that was up had been
killed by frost which fell on Friday
and Saturday night; that it would be
to replant all of the crop
that was up. The statement is to the
effect that frost was general over the
Piedmont section An urgent appeal
is made by the association to the
farmers whose cotton was killed not
to replant cotton but to plant corn in
stead.
1.-The farmer who plants cotton is
taking two big chances says the
statement. "The first the possibility
of having labor to cultivate the crop
and to pick it. The second is in be-
ing able to secure a price for the
staple next fall that will be any
where near the cost of the produc-
ton. 'The labor situation is extreme
ly acute over the State, and in fact,
over the entire cotton belt. 1t bids
fair to become even worse.
Corn is much easier to cultivate
than cotton. 1t requires less labor.
Corn is bringing splendid price now
and bids fair to continue to bring
good price. Europe has gone back on
war rations. The chances are that
bread is going to be scarce for many,
many months to come. The price of
corn will therefore be very high.
Europe is unable to buy both bread
and clothes. It has to have bread, it
can get along some how for many
months without more clothes. 1t has
to have bread. A big cotton crop this
year means repetition of the condi-
tions in the South that prevailed in
1914. The farmer who goes ahead
ard plants as much cotton as ever is
flirting with disaster

The 30th Division
Plans for Permanent Estab
lishmnt at Camp Jackson

War Department plans for the per-
manent establishment Of the Goth Dl-
vision at Camp Jackson are we'll un-
der way. This division, the continu-
alton Of the old Hickory Division, is
to belong to the Carolinas and Tennes-
see, and is to be recruited up to full
peace strength from among the young
men Of these States. 1t is hoped by
the authorities that this Division will
husband the glorious traditions OF the
old Thirtieth and that the support OF
he people of its home States will be
as spontaneous as in the past.
The Forty-eighth Regular Infantry
has already been designated as Of the
Thirtieth Division, and is busy recruit
ing to it's full strength from the men
Of the overseas organizations that
are constantly returning to Camp
Jackson for Rehabilitation. These
men are just the men for the job, it
is said, both because Of their splendid
record in France and because nearly
all of them are residents Of the States
that are regarded as the home of the
Thirtietl1.
Though not fortunate enough to
so overseas, the Forty eighth Infan-
try has had a highly important role
and an enviabIe record all during the
war It was selected as the regiment

ber, 1913, the regim ent became a part
Of the Twentieth Division, at Camp
Sewer, and was training for overseas
service when the armistice was sign
ed. Since then it has been doing gar
rison duty at Camp Jackson. i

the fully equipped athletic teams Of

tween them adds spice to the SOL
dier's life. Keen competition is also
beginning to be felt in the coming
target practise. But all is not play
for the doughboy. Drill has been re-
duced to minimum, Of course, but
the War Department intends to offer
an hour or two a day of vocational
training to guide those who wich to
