Restoring Disabled Soldiers.

When il comes to restoring It's
damaged fighters, the government has
means and resources far beyond those
of any human being or ordinary
agency. Quite recently a young wo-
man was located in Savannah, Ca
who was an expert at teaching the art
of lip-reading to persons who lost their
hearing. Now she has a class OF six
Southern soldiers. whose sense OF
hearing had been destroyed in the
war.
Il was a little afraid to try teach
ing grown people, she confesses.
my pupils had all been children. But
they learned so rapidly and tried SO
hard-and succeeded so well-that
am tremendously proud of all of them
This is a fine example of the "hu-
man touch in government relel
work-only too often people conJure
up a vision of hard. splendid offices
and inextricable tangles Of red tape
when the government is referred to.
But not the crippled soldiers-and
NOT the deaf soldiers-and not the
Red Cross. which will tell you any
thing YOU want to know about the
governments methods in these mat
terS.

THIRTY-SIX CTS.
Organization Planned to Take
Care of Distress Cotton

Dillon, Sept. IA meeting Of the
Dillon county unit Of the American
Cotton Association was held this af-
ternoon. County Chairman DR.. j. H.
David presided. A report was heard
secretary. L.Mannin m m mg,tempor
from r. L. Manning, temporary sec
yetary, who was sent as delegate to
the New Orleans convention. A re-
port was made OF the membership
of the county association and money
collected as follows:
Membership. sos; money collected,
s2.4O0. Committees volunteered to go
into the districts not yet worked and
obtain membership in them. It is be-
lieyed that 1000 members will be
gained in this county.
Mr.. Manning made strong address
and outlined method of taking care
of the cotton crop and to enable the
farmers OF get their price of thirty
six cents and above. 1t is certain
that Dillon county will organize cor
poration very soon to take up al the
distress cotton put upon the market.
The plan IS outlined is that the cor
poration shall buy all the cotton Of
fered at a quarter Of a cent above any
price offered by any other buyer or
factor until the price Of thirty-six
cents is reached.
Dillon county will need 100000
corporation, and it is believed by al
most every farmer that the capital
stock can be secured within forty
eight hours. A mass meeting of the
farmers, together with all the mem
bership, is planned for Friday, Sep
tember 19. L. D. Jennings. OF Sum-
ter, the originator Of the county cor
'poration plan, will be present and ad-
dress the gathering.

HOMES BY EMINENT DOMAIN.

Part of the State Socialist regime
of North Dakota is a law which is
said to operate as follows:
ANY ten men desiring homes may
go anywhere and take land, under
the right of eminent domain, just as
railroads do, and have it financed with
State funds up to limit of $4,000
The home-seeker may thus settle
down wherever it suits his fancy, pro-
yided he finds nine other men who ap-
prove his choice and are willing to
cooperate with him. The owner, be
he farmer Or city dweller, is obliged
to sell. His own private desire is Of
no avail.
There is a good deal Of opposition
to this law among North Dakota land
owners. 1t is now being fought in
the courts on the ground that II is
Unconstitutional. 1t has stirred up a
controversy in the Non-Partisan
League, which is responsible for IFS
adoption.
1t certainly does look pretty radi-
cal. A farmer does not want a
choice piece cut right out of his farm
merely because some other man wants
it and because a paternal State IS
willing to help him pay for it. Pri-
vate ownership is generally interpret
ed as safeguarding the owner against
private invasion, on any pretext what
ever.
This plan is, of course, base on
the socialistic, -private-owne., ,...p
principle of naturalization of land. It
is a long step toward the Russian
soviet plan. North Dakota has right
TO adopt it if North Dakota wants It.
Other States seem well content, jor
the present at least. to stick to more
conservative policies and let venture
some North Dakota do the expert
lpenting.

CURB THE sPENDERs.

According to the New York Times,
there are -four major lines of busi-
ness activity which report great pros
perity-jewelry, musical instruments,
automobiles and tobacco-all non
essentials
When non-essentials are IN great
er demand than essentials, as they
seem to be in many communities, it
is hard to resist the conviction that
popular extravaganza has about as
much to do with high prices as has
a spirit Of profteering. In fact, ex-
trayagance plainly encourages that
spirit. When dealers in necessaries
of life see people frittering away their
money with such abandon on mere
luuuries, they are not greatly to be
blamed for piling on more profit than
usual.
Says the Washington Herald:
.The cheaper cuts of meat do not
move any faster when the better cuts
double in price.
.shop-girls are shod in the latest
style of shoes. whether they cost SO
or SIS a pair.
1.-THE travelling public demands the
best the finest hotels have to Offer
whether the price be SO a day or $50.
..The cafes and carabIets and gr1lls
and similar resorts are as thronged
as ever, and the cheaper restaurants,
where the serving Of food is the man
business, do not gain in popularity.
Nobody that is anybody quits
joy-riding when tires are boosted %
per cent.
..The higher the tax is, the more
dense the crowd becomes around the
counter"
This may be over1rawn, but there is
plenty Of truth in it. Not everybody
has been extravagant. but the nation
as whole has been INDUCING in an
orgy of thriftless indulgence and care
less buying for which poor people and
people formerly in comfortable cir
cumstances" are now paying.
While curbing the profiteers. 1t rs

Monday night I spent az The home
Of Bert Shanks. Mr.. Shanks, I WAS
surprised to learn, is from the Maui
melle country. He has many interest
ing stories to relate of his exper-
fences there Not the least interest.
ing of these is an account of panth-
ers, trailing behind his brother to
Hostler spring some ten years ago
Panthers were very plentiful there
then and such experiences were very
ccmrnen. They were riding mules on
their way to the Niemeyer camp and
were Inarmed. The varmints had
trailed them for several miles AMI
when they reached the spring his
brother told him there was nothing to
do but stop and make fire which
they did The panthers would come
up close and sit down like dog and
watch them. There were three or
four of them and their mules we're So
badly scared that they had to sit up
all night and hold them. The panth-
ers stayed on watch until three or
four o'clock in the morning when they
left Frequently they would have to
go to Natural Steps for a doctor in
the night and they were in Zig luck
if a panther did not pursue them.
About thirty-fve years ago Geo. Mar
tinGale killed the largest panther ever
seen in this country He stuffed it.
and sold it to Shades store at the
corner of Seventh and Spring streets
and Mr.. Shanks said that the last
still had it on exhibition. Deer were
time he was there Shades successor
also very plentiful. They were SO
thick that the timber men would fre.
quently fall trees on them. One time
the whistle blew when couple of
men had a tree nearly down They
went back the next morning and
finished it with a few strokes and
when it fell it killed two sleeping
