School Service, and then gives some
interesting fguresGwhich follow:
I 'In 1918 we raised over 500, ,OOO, 900
worth of crops. How much is that per
capita ?''
We have bought over 100000, 900
worth of Liberty Bonds and War Saw
ings Stamps. How, much is that on
the average?"
1--WE saved and put into our State
| banks $40, 100000 more than we ever
| have before in single year."
"The annual interest we shall re-
ceive from the Government on our
savings will make tidy sum. How
much?"
"Just suppose we had five cents for
public schools for every dollar real
lied from crops; suppose every man,
woman and child would buy one War,
Savings Stamp and give it to the
cause of public education; suppose we
could have the interest on our War
Savings during fve-year period to
build new school houses with! And
public education is an even better in

Again, School Service, in answering

gives interesting comparisons:
"In :1898-99 Massachusetts, gave an
average of years schooling to her
citizens; Tennessee gave years; thee
U. S. as a whole, A years.
+ The average daily production per
citizen in Massachusetts that year
was 85c; in Tennessee, 38e; in the

"This same year Massachusetts,

In, Massachusetts each citizen on

ton growers of the South in their ef
fort to limit the acreage of cotton to
maintain high prices. are trading
upon the misery of the world" Gov
ernor Allen charged today in a letter
refusing an invitation of the South
Carolina Cotton Association to attend
conference at which reports Of the
campaign to reduce cotton acreage
will be received. The letter was ad.
dressed to J. 81. Wannamaker, Colum,
bia. S. c., chairman of the association.
Basing his conclusions upon govern
ment crop reports, Governor Allen es-
,timated cotton growers are making as
much money with cotton at 35 cents a
pound as. Kansas farmers are making
from their wheat at 1925 a bushel
Kansas farmers are doing every
thing in their power to increase the
wheat yield so that every one may
have bread, but it seems the cotton
growers are trying at the same time
to prevent the same people from hav-
ing Clothes" he declared.

world is still graphing with the tre-
mendous problems arising from short
age Of staple commodities, should be-
gin deliberate organization to retard
production sis unspeakab1e,' he con-
tinued. - 8
1 at would be just as baleful for the
wheat farmers of Kansas, the corn
farmers OF Iowa, the hog raisers of
Illinois, or the. livestock producers of
Texas to deliberately combine to
create shortage in .foodstuffs that
the famine Of the world would pay
them toll, as for the cotton interests
of the South to combine for that pur-
pose. :
For these reasons and because +
utterly lack sympathy with the pur-
pose-o Of the meeting, will not be able
to accept the invitation" he concluded.

Frightening up the dark, dark sky.
How many eyes are cast upon you
Wondering how it was you grew? :.

Hiding your face there in the day
Wondering, wondering, night by

Gazing at you, beautiful sight.
So shine on and on and on,
Until this wicked world is gone.
