WE MUST PAY THE PRICE.

The school boards everywhere, and
Dillon is not an exception, are wor-
rying over the scarcity Of teachers.
Even before the war we were told
that teachers salaries were distress
ingly inadeq'at and one result of the
high cost of living is that thousands
of teachers have gone into other lines
OF employment. Dillon is facing a
shortage of teachers next year. The
compulsory attendance law will in
crease the enrolment at the Dillon
schools alone something like 20 per
cent, and where is the money COM
ing from to pay these additional
teachers? Our schools come next to
our churches. Take the churches
away and in less than five years
weeds would choke our main business
thoroughfares. The same may be said
of our schools. Our population would
disappear and property would have
no value. Some provision must be
made'to meet these conditions before
the next school term opens. IT is =
matter which needs the thoughtful
consideration of our citizens.

Mayor Hamer's plan to pave the
business district should have the sup
port not only Of the property owners
in the area to be paved but the tax
payers as a whole Dillon needs these
improvements and the only way we
can get them is to pay for them. If
the corporate limits are extended the
towns bonded Indebtedness can be in
creased to raise revenue to pay the
towns share of the cost Of the paw
ing. and the additional levy will be
so small that no taxpayer will feel it..
Permanent improvements mean the
saving of money in the long run. More
than enough money has been spent on
temporary street buildings to pave
every street and thoroughfare in the
town, and still we are at the starting
point IF we do not make beginning
We will look back over the next 25
years and censure ourselves for the
penny wise and pound foolish policy
we have followed. Let's make the be

PUREBRED SIRES AND
COMMUNITY BREEDING
1t Has Brought Great Improvement
in Agricultural Conditions in
Many Sections.

There is no advantage gained by
keeping three or four breeds of cat
tie in the same community, except
the satisfaction of personal preference
but there are many advantages to be
derived from keeping one and the
breed in the same community.
Probably the most important rea-
son why the same breed of cattle or
even sheep or hogs should be kept
in one community is that it makes
for community interest. The more we
can have in common as farmers, the
more interest we will have in the
welfare of our neighbors. Such COM
munity team work is worth much in
the improvement of any community.
In fact, it is essential. 1t brings
strength without effort. 1t teaches
effenciency in the care and rearing of
animals as one connot help making
comparisons Of his animals with those
of his neighbors.
Community breeding is a very SIM
pie thing but the value which it will
be to the community IS tremendous.
There are many instances on record
to which we may point as proof of
its advantages. Wisconsin has a large
number of community breeding asso-
Citations, the strongest of these being

Observers Of intcrratio~nl doings

plation of Russia. In the first place,
only a part Of Russia is bolsheviki-
and small part at that. The allies
owe much in the war to Russia. and
nothing can blink this fact. Before
Russin quit the war she lost $780,
900 of her sons in battle. 1t was the
offensive of the Russians in East
Prussia which in the first months Of
the war helped the French to win the
first battle of the Marne by forcing the
Germans to withhold reinforcements
and ship them to the east. Russian
Ioffensives came to the aid of the al
lies on number of other occasions,
and credit should be given where
credit is due. Without Russia the al
Aies would have lost the war in few
months. When the collapse of Russia
was finally complete, the bolsheviki
= got control of only portion Of the
nation, and at present are losing in
power even at the core of their ac-
tivities.

Breeding Association organized in
1906 to promote the breeding and im-
provement OF high grade and pure
bred Guernsey cattle in Waukashl
County, Wisconsin. Although only or
ganiZed twelve years this country is
already known as the Guernsey
Capital Of America" and buyers for
carload lots of grade or purebred
COWS are attracted there from all over
the country. There is peraps no exam
pie of community breeding in this
country, but there are many other
very good examples. The State Of
New Hampshire has already many
such breeders associations in opera
ton. Minnesota also has number.
One of these at Northfield, Minnesota.
a Holstein association, includes 225
herds and upwards of 1000 Holstein
cattle, purebred and grades. West
Virginia has organized many such as
sociations, Ritchie County, especially,
attracted wide attention for the reas-
on that the scrub" bull has been
eliminated and the Hereford adopted
and developed as the principal breed.
More than $50 scrub" bulls have
been shipped out of the county during
the past few years and purebreds
taken their places, eliminating the
scrub" entirely. Many small herds
have been started as a result of this
movement. Buyers were attracted to
this county without advertising, and
they are unable to meet the demand
for good breeding and stock cattle.
Community breeding simply means
that the farmers in a certain commun
ity agree to do two things-first, to
breed but one breed of cattle, sheep
or hogs, but of course the idea ap-
plies best to cattle breeding; second.
they agree to use none but purebred
sires, these sires being owned either
individually or collectively. Everyone
Is absolutely free to do as he pleases
just so long as he sticks to one class
of stock and uses a purebred SIRE
These ideas can best be carried out if
the farmers are organized in a body
and where they get together at stat
ed periods.

We need more inspiration instilled in

spiration as is gotten from organiza-

of your State University will be very

tions of others. Is there not good
reasons why we should not have COM
munities in this state noted for Short
horn, Hereford and Aberdeen-Angus
Cattle? Before the State can ever
make big strides as beef cattle CEN
ter, we must have community breed
ing. The first step in this direction
is to eliminate the Scrub" sire. May
we not count on your influence and
cooperation?

a Mexico City, Mex, correspondent

Children were playing ring around

Scared with bullets and at one point
almost shot away.
Here said the old man, removing
his hat, "died the bravest of them
all-Garbriel Hernandez, a Madero
general, although only boy, captur-
ed by Huerta, the usurper, and shot
and buried while still alive"
He told me of Senator Belisario
Dominguez' myterious death; of kid
napings, arrests and fiendish things,
all ending here in this labyrinth of
terror that held a peculiar mockery
because Belem had for three hundred
years before been a convent, conse-
