THERE is DANGER HERE

If you are employing child labor,
you ought by all means to acquaint
yourself with the law which went into
effect a few days ago on this point.
This is an act the federal government
has taken and that means it will be
enforced without fear or favor No
matter who you are, if you employ
children within the age prohibited, it
will be a serious matter with you
When you fail to conform to the con
ditions prescribed in the federal

local schools, would go jumping to
astounding heights of efficiency if
the salaries we offer induced our
teachers to hold their places because
of efficiency When other public calls
bear on US very hard, we usually pro-
vide for them. There is nothing with
which we have to do that is of such
Importance as the common school
training of our children. We are slight
ing that schooling shamefully in the
meager salary we offer the teacher.
When will we begin to wake up?

Thomas County got over with the
bond issue for million. In this in
stance it took a good bit of hard work
and the progressive citizens of that
county should stand away up at the
the head of the list. The fight is not
going to be as hard in Crisp People
generally favor the issue. Our only
need is an assurance that enough
time will be taken to go to the polls
and vote.

law.
Employment of one child for one
day in conflict with the child labor
tax provision of the new revenue bill
will subject the employers business
to a tax of 10 per cent of the net prof
its for the taxable year. This is the
law.
The child labor provisions of the
new bill became effective. April 25.
1919. On and after that date the pro.
fits of any mine or quarry in which
children under sixteen years of age,
orany MILL cannery, workshop, factory
or manufacturing establishment in
which children under fourteen years
of age are employed or permitted to
work during any portion Of the tax
able year" is subject to the 10 year
cent tax A single specific exception
is made OF boys and girls canning
clubs, such as are recognized by the
Department of Agriculture.
The act imposes a penalty of fine
of not more than $1,000, or imprison-
ment for not more than three months,
or both fine and Imprisonment, for
knowingly presenting false evidence
in relation to a birth certificate or
application therefor
The law provides that in none Of
the industries within the scope of the
law shall children within the age H.
mits be permitted to work more than
eight hours a day, or more than six
days week, or before the hour of
6 a. M, or after Z p. m, without the
assessment of the tax. Such indus
tries will be required to keep a time
record showing the hours of employ
ment Of each child between fourteen
and sixteen years of age, for the in
formation of Federal inspectors.
The Bureau of Internal Revenue
will maintain a force of inspectors
who are authorized to enter and in
spect, at any time, any mine, quar-
ry, mill, cannery. workshop, factory or
manufacturing establishment.
The one good which will come from
this law. let us hope, is the army of
children it will turn into the public
schools. They are no longer permitted
to work where heretofore hundreds of
thousands of them have been used.
They were tied 20 the mills and ma
chimes because their little frames
could be harnessed there at a cheaper
cost.
Today the mill owner, operator, or
factory management using these lit
tie fellows must contribute ten per
cent of their earnings to the taxes of
the government They are not going
to do that, and they are not going to
presume that they can make child
labor attractive so Ion as this con-
dition is imposed.
This marks the release of millions
Of them!

OFFICIAL ORGAN CRISP COUNTY.
EMPLOYMENT SUNDAY

Sunday has been set aside all oyc.
the country as day in which the
people auto pledge their support in
finding work for returning soldiers
and sailors. The Dispatch has acted
for a number of counties around Cor
dele up to the present time, as agent
of the employment service and not a
man has asked for employment that
has not been speedily assisted to
work.
But more and more of them are
coming. 1t is getting to be a heavy
work to place all of them. This indi-
Gates that the different lines of en-
ployment are becoming filled rapidly
and finding work will be harder
task for the remaining two million
soldiers who are to come. Every man
and woman ought to pledge assistant
ce in sending the men to good work
because those who are coming back
now are the men who faced the fire
They were longest in the trenches
and the thickest of the fighting and
consequently have been longer away
from their former employment. 1t
will be harder to place them, in spite
of their more strongly deserved CON
sideration. If ever it was time to
look out for the returning soldier
now it is here.
Here is president Wilson's message:
The Church organization of the
country having generously united
in an effort to assist the Employ
ment Service of the United States
in finding work for returning
soldiers and sailors and war
workers. and having designated
Sunday, May 4th, as Employ
ment Sunday, | am happy to add
my voice to others in an appeal
to our fellow comtrymen to give
their earnest and united support
to this and every similar move
ment l hope that the people of
the country will universally OBJ
serve Employment Sunday as Il
day of fresh dedication to the mu-
tual helpfulness which will serve
to work out in the months to
come the difficult problems of
employment and industrial re.
organization. In these days of vic
tory we can make no better offer
ing than that of service to the
men and women who have won
the victory.

Paying Teachers.

AS long as the salaries paid the
educators of our children are IN
adequate to their needs, so long
will we have to be satisfied with
interior material. The high grade
and efficient teacher is speedily
given an opportunity in other
branches of commerce or indus
try to increase his or her income,
as few can afford to stick to
teaching for mere love of the
work-Dublin Tribune.
The Georgia school teacher,
both rural and otherwise, is paid
too little. 1t is hoped the time
will come when the country
school teachers will be paid more
money and paid it more promptly
than in the past.-Savannah Press.

Would you close the gate to the

incubation Necessary For
Successful Alfalfa Growing

Ejaculation is absolutely .neces-
sary for best results with alfalfa,
IN fast failure to inoculate gen
orally means. failure of the i
crop. incubation is simple
operation and may be done either
of two ways.
If you prefer the liquid method
OF inoculating write to the Bu-
reau of Plant Industry, y. S,
Department of Agriculture,
Washington, D. c., and ask them
to send YOU some pure culture
lnoculatlng material for alfalfa.
Do this without further delay, if
you put it off until you are about
ready to seed it is very likely
that you will not receive your
incubation in time. The De-
partmeut will send any farmer in
Shenandoah County sufficient
amount of this inoculating ma
terial for one bushel of seed free
Of cost. If more than one bushel
OF seed is to be Sown, write to the
State Department of Agricul-
ture, Richmond, Virginia, and
advise them OF the amount de-
sired. they will furnish it at the
rate Of so cents per acre. Full
instructions accompany the ma
terial.
The other method of inoculat-
ing Is to get some dirt from an
alfalfa field or sweet clover
held, and scatter this dirt on the
held intended to be sown. If the
sun is shining the dirt should be
immediately narrowed in. The
rate OF application of dirt
should be about 500 pounds per
acre. Another good method OF
scattering this dirt uniformly is
to pulverlze it and screen il
thoroughly in order to remove
all Jumps and stones and run II
through the fertilizer drill.
A field once inoculated will
generally remain inoculated for
several years, so in case of crop
failure, reinoculatlon is not
necessary though it is advisa bic.
Whether the alfalfa plants are
lnoculated or not can be very
easily discovered by an examiua-
ton OF the roots, if the little
nudnles are not found on the
roots Of the plant you may be
rea >onably sure that the plants
are not inoculated. Generally,
tile failure to form noduIes is due
to the absence of the legume
bacteria, although there are GER
tain conditions which prevent
the production of nodules even
III the prestnce OF the proper
bacteria.

1t may be proper, at this time: to
state TO the citizens OF Johnston Dis.
lrict, why the roads are not In better
condition, and why more work is not
being done Oh same. The reason, as
usual in such cases, is lack OF tnan-
ces; there having been no extra lew
made in this district in the past 5
years, while labor costs much more.
A few years ago labor could be
obtained for 81 day, now 81 90, team
formerly $3.50, now 81 00.l
While Road Commissioner l have
pus in So permanent culverts, rang
ing from 81 to SlS5 each, and suspen-
sion bridges.
When l went into Office, there was
debt OF between 500 and $500, all
OF which has been paid.
Conditions, therefore, over which |
had no control made it impossible to
do what We should all like to have
seen done on our roads. Only about
S1700 year is available to keep up
over 200 miles OF road.
Respectfully,
