The world ''is cropping about just
now, trying to reduce the cost OF
living by increasing wages and lessen
ing production; both nations and in
dividuals are hard at it cutting down
the tree in order to get the apples.
When sanity returns, they will dis
cover that neither nations nor in
dividuals can live unto themselves,
but that their interests all hang to-
gether on one and the same apple
tree, with it's many limbs and
branches"
This sentence expresses great
truth and strange to say our great
men and leaders seem not to see 1t.
The great. cry is to increase pay
to meet the high cost of living and at
the same time cut down the hours
for work which necessarily cuts
down production, and the truth is
the only way to reduce the cost OF
living is to increase production.
But maybe after awhile the world
will return to sanity and get down
to ordinary and simple rules Of life
and of living. Until it does this
great unrest is going to continue and
we will be in a state that there is
no telling what the result may be.
It would be we'll if we could but
bark back to at least some OF the
good old ways Of life and Of living.

Today is the first anniversary of
the signing Of the armistice which
meant the cessation Of fighting in the
greatest war in all recorded history.
We are still at war but it is hoped
that it will not be so long before the
peace treaty is ratified. It would
be a fine celebration of the signing
Of the armistice for the senate to go
along and ratify the peace treaty.

THE FARM.

= (From The New York Times.( j
The farms pleasant place
There are the beasts love;
White calf and spotty pig,
Gay cock and cleaning dove,
A thousand golden bees
My pride and care are these!
Yet I would slip away
Up yonder woody hill,
AS up magic stair,
Pale green and wondrous still
Fair, when birds built in May,
Fair, now they've flown away.
For where meath birchen bough
Tarried, most delicate
And gay, the violets,
Now blue, now yellow-where sate.
Green lilies lightly down,
Softly of May winds blown.
Now purple flowers droop
Like quaint danes listening:
Beneath a gallery
Where sweet the minstrels; sing,
Briars of Michaelmas
Above them in the grass.
Where April showers come
So fair one scarce believes
That rain like that can faH
So drab from cottage caves,
White clouds stray hither and yon-
How lonely every one!
Uphill l see those clouds,
Mirthful at harvest-tide,
Bidding me clean forget
Cares in the valley that bide.
The farm is good, but still :,
'Tis better up the hill!

Bees Took Carload of Sugar.

Near the station of Fontainebleau,
France, carload of crystallized
sugar was held up and within four
days the entire load had disappeared
in spite Of the guards.
Not far from the station at Avon,
there are large bee farms, and while
the bees covered the car in swarms
no one supposed that they could car
ry away the crystallized sugar. Nor
could they. But Industrious and in
genious they betook themselves to
nearby basins and fountains and car
ried drops of water to melt the sug-
ar! The dampened sugar formed
syrup that was easily transported to
the hives.

We notice from our local column
that the new recorder had the first
speeder before him the other day.
We do not know just what the
speed limit is in Newberry, but we
know that there are great many
cars and drivers besides the one be-
fore the recorder that are going
through our narrow streets at a
much greater speed than is good for
the safety of the pedestrian and
others as well. And from the acci-
dents Of which we read it does seem
that no one is safe even if he is
on the sidewalk, because it was over
here at Greenville just the other day
where car mounted the sidewalk
and killed one man and seriously
injured another, and the two were
standing there engaged in converse
ton feeling no doubt that they were
at least safe so long as they were on
the sidewalk and not at a street
crossing. But the, automobile has all
roads and things that are not roads
for it's own in this day. Very few
cars in this town give any attention
to the stop signs at street crossings,
and as for the speed limit if there is
any it must be- the limit Of the car.
Fortunately we have had no acci-
dents.
Another thing, how about that
ordinance as to the cut outs? Some
times in these Offices fronting on a
street you can not hear yourself or
each other think for the noise of the
cut out.
But this is strenuous age, in
which we live and one must keep out
of the way if he does not want to be
run over.

stance, when one tract is owned by
the farmer and another is rented by
him. Thus if man who owns 100
acres rents an additional ten acres
from some one else and operates both
the 100 acres and the ten acres, then
his ssfarm' includes both tracts OF.
land comprising 10 acres.
By the same token when a land
owner has one or more ter ants, rem
ters, croppers or managers, sach
different tract of land operated by
any such tenant, renter, cropper or
manager, is considered a. separate
and distinct farm by the Census
Bureau. Or, to give an example, II
a man owning 120 acres of land rents
40 acres to tenant and farms the
remaining 80 acres himself, his farm
is the 80 acres which he operates not
the 120 acres which he owns, while
the 40 acre tract which he rents to
tenant comprises a separate farm
to be reported in the name OF the
tenant.
Another question to be determined
lis how important does an agricul-
tural enterprise have to be in order
to secure recognition in the census
as a farm? A small vegetable gar
den or a chicken yard accommodating
few busy hens will not be allowed
to qualify as "farm'' in the census
no matter with what pardonable
pride and satisfaction the proprietor
may view his agricultural enterprise.
But if the garden OF chicken yard
expands until it covers not less than
three acres of ground, or until it re-
quires for it's care the continuous SER
vices of at least one person, or yields
products annually to the value of
$3.50 or more, it comes within the
census definition of farm and will
be recognized as such and counted.
The agriculture schedule contains
many questions regarding farm
values, expenses and live stock as
we'll as the average and quantity Of
crops raised in the year 1919. Gen.
sus Bureau officials are urging far
mers everywhere to prepare for the
census enumerator by looking over
) their books and records so that
accurate answers may be furnished
to questions.
: In this connection the Bureau of
the Census emphasizes the fact that
the information furnished to census
takers is absolutely confidential, made
so by Act Of Congress, and that un-
der no circumstances can any such
information be used as basis for
taxation.
"Cooperat;on between farmers and
the census officials next January is
more necessary and vital than ever
before" declares Director o. the Cen

KIND OF MEMORIAL

ssThiS movement IS a state move
ment and not one that has anything
to do with the University of South
Carolina.
ssThe Memorial Building, not a
chape, is to be beautiful in design and
architecturally a gem, to face On
Main street, on State property, and
the approach to Il will be from
Main street and not from the Univer-
sity grounds.
tsThe building viii be haHs OF
archives under the care Of the State
Historical Commission. It will be a
monument to those who made the
supreme sacrifice and the names with
the records of every white South
Carolinian who fell will be in
scribed in bronze and the deeds Of all
who served, civil as well as military,
will be recorded there.
tsIn this Memorial Building will be
an auditorium where veterans Of this
war and other wars can hold meet
ings. The building will be distinctly
non-utilitarian but commemorative
and will be distinctly a memorial to
those who served in the war;"
We are glad to see the above an
nouncement. The Herald and News
some time ago, in speaking of the
memorial, suggested that it should
not be built on the college campus,
but should be placed on some of the
university property which faced on
Main street so that the people going
to Columbia could not help seeing it.
And besides, then no one could say
that it was part of the State univer-
sity, but would feel that it was
really a State memorial. If it had
been placed on the college campus
very few people would have had
opportunity, or at least would not
have taken the trouble to go there.
It should be in fact State memo
rial.
This action Of the commission car
ries out the idea of the legislature
to place the building on some of the
college property, and yet takes it
away from the campus and makes it
easy of access to the people who will
visit to the city. 1t should be a
place where all the people may go
and be easy Of access.
The people should be glad to con-
tribute to such a building to perpet-
uat the deeds of the boys who
went over. there, and every one should
esteem it a privilege to have part In
the building and to feel whenever he
goes to Columbia and looks on the
memorial that he had contributed
something to its erection, however
small the amount may be. Il the

To Resume Trade Relations
 With Germany Immediately
SECRETARY POLK MAKES IT CLEAR TRADING WITH ENEMY ACT NOT ABROGATED-
 STILL IN STATE OF WAR.

Washington, July 11-Trade be- tween the United States and Ger many will be resumed immediately, Acting Secretary Polk of the state department announced today.
 MT. Polk said blanket licenses would be issued, but that dyes, chem icals and potash would be excepted. Control over trade in these commo- dities will be exercised by the repara- ton committee under the terms of the peace treaty. A formal an nouncement regarding resumption of trade relations, was promised within 4S hours.
 Secretary Polk made it clear that resumption of trade relations with Germany did not abrogate the trading with the enemy act nor was it to be taken as meaning that the state of war was at an end.
 MT. Mccormick, who returned from Paris with President Wilson, said there would be virtually complete freedom of trade, subject to the limit of cred- its which Germany might be able to establish.
 Dyes and certain other commodities will be excepted. however, as under terms of the peace treaty trade in these is to be controlled by the repa- ration commission

NOW
 GETTING READY
 FOR AlRPLANES

Feeling that airplanes will soon be a feature of daily life, many people believe that communities should be- gin to get ready for them, and that legislatures should pass laws regulat- ing their use. For one thing they would have towns set aside fields for their use.
 piles were first seen. Many people believe that 20 years from now air planes will be much Of a. factor in daily life. While it may be so, this does now seem rather visionary. Air flight is accomplished against great and perilous obstacles, beside wich the difficulties that confronted auto mobiles seem trifling. In case of a break in an automobile, nothing hap pens except a disagreeable repair job. In case of g. break to the airplane, everything happens.
 But for all that, 1t seems a fair guess that five years from today air planes will be a common sight every where, and most towns will have at least a few, operated by the type of men willing to take some risks for sport or business.
 They will never need much reg1lla- ton. The ways of heaven are wide and there will be few collisions. Nov ices should not be permitted to fly over the centers of towns and cities. If there is danger of heavy articles Cropping from a plane, 1t must be guarded against. Pilots ought to be required to take certain courses of instruction from competent teachers before being permitted to fly at will
 Passenger carrying planes will have to be very carefully regulated, to see that no incompetent pilot is allowed to solicit patronage. Apart from a few such matters, the planes will be as free of the law as the birds. While the matter is not one calling for immediate attention, it is a. fascinating subject ot speculation, and opens up broad vistas of coming achievement

Has Not As Yet Started To Write Special
 Treaty Message.

Washington, July 11-Pres- ident Wilson still had before him today appropriation bills passed recently by congress and it seemed doubtful wheth- CT any of them would be sign ed this week. The President was understood to feel that the measures, carrying appropri- ations of more than $2,OOO, ,OOO,- GOO deserved deliberate con- sideration.
 President Wilson made an unex- pected call on Acting Secretary Polk today at the State Department. The President carried with him mum Der of papers and it was understood that the Mexican question was among the first he wished to consider.
 After leaving MT. Folks office, the President walked down the corridor to the office of Secretary Daniels. where he went into conference with the head of the Navy Department. Many employees in the state-war-navy building, who were out for lunch, applauded the President.
 The President remained in earnest conversation with MT. Polk for more than an hour. The under-secretary of state is to go to Paris to succeed Secretary Lansing on the American peace delegation and it was that the President had acquainted him with the situation there.
 It was indicated at the White House that the President was devot- ing considerable attention to the rider on the Agricultural bill repeating the daylight saving law. He has before him many petitions, some urging that he sign the bill and others that he veto it. So far as could be ascer- tained the Presidents mind still was open.
 It was indicated that the President had not yet begun preparation of the address to be delivered to the Senate, when he presents the treaty with France by which rre United States would go to that republics aid in case of unprovoked attack by Ger many. The treaty would be sub mitted, 1t was thought, before MT. Wilson started on his tour of the country.

CURT
 REJ0INDER WAS
 TO BE EXPECTED

Paris, July 11-Feeling In confer ence circles today was that the curt rejoinder of Holland to the allied note regarding the former German Crown Prince, received yesterday, could not be taken as indicative of the Dutch attitude on the final ques- ton of the surrender of either of the former emperor or his oldest son.
 It is felt In conference circles gen. eraNy and in American quarters par ticularly, 1t Is understood, that the Dutch reply was just about what might have been expected in the cir cumstances. Represen lives of the allied and associated powers are of the opinion that the allied commis- sion applied the assumption of some dereliction on the part of the Dutch government and that it's reply was merited.
