A Get-Acquainted Party.

Clemson College, July 29.-Coun-
ty Agent R. W. Graeber of Lee
County sets a good example for other
agents and for farmers all over South
Carolina in his auto excursion Of Lee
County farmers on July 20 to visit
Duroc Hog Farm, at Gainesville, s.
c., now considered one of the best
modern hog breeding establishments
in the South. Mr.. Graeber especially
wants his farmers to profit by the
system of grazing crops for hogs
which are now grown at this farm.
No better way can be found Of
Educating" our farmers than that
of the auto excursion to other coun-
ties and other States to SER and
know what other successful farm
ers are doing. Such trips have the
double merit of being instructive
and delightful. They furnish a fine
opportunity for a short vacation.
"See South Carolina First should
be the slogan, but there is no reason
why farmers should not be led much
further afeld than the borders of
Ibis state. -.

B0LSHEVIkI SENT
 PROPAGANDA TO
 MANY COUNTRIES
Danish Minister Says Agent
 Sent From Russia.

Copenhagen, Dec. 21.-(Corre- spondence of the Associated Press.) -Boisheviki propagandists were sent from Russia not only to Germany but to China, England and France, says Harold de .Scavenius, the Danish minister to Patrograd, who. has just returned from Russia together with the staff of the Danish legation. While at the Russian capital he had been acting inp'behalf of the entente powers. Four hundred Russian propagandists, he declares. were in Berltn before the revolution began, and instructions were 2siven for nu- merous Bolshevists to be despatched to England and France by underhaRd routes. Recently, he added, a num- Der of repatriated Chinese were sent home from Russia, and among them were numerous propagandists.
 The Soviet Russian government, ac- cording to M de Scavenius, under stands very we'll that it's only possi- bility of maintaining existence is in an international revolution and while the Germa reyolutio was nearing its apex the Bolshevik leaders rejOiced in it's progress but were disappointed in the fact that the German administra- i. tion remained in the hands 'of the Social Democrats.

MOTHERS PENSIONS
 AID LABOR PROBLEMS

The last lingering argument agalnst child labor laws and their strict en- forcement is being answered in very practical way through the estab- lishment of mothers pensions, says the National Child Labor committee in a statement showing the growing popularity of this form of relief. In 1913 the first mothers pension law to go into statewide effect went into operation in Illinois. Today 33' states of the union have mothers pension laws, all of them statewide in effect except in Arkansas. The primary object of these laws, says the committee, is to maintain the home for the sake of society and of the children. Through the death of the husband and father, or his inca pacitation by illness, or his desertion, the self-support of the family falls upon the mother and children. If the children are put into an institution or if the mother goes out to work and leaves the children at home un- cared for, or if she stays at home with the children and starves with them, the home life is weakened or kreck ed. Sixty per cent of the inmates of a large reformatory were brought up in institutions. School authorities say that when children stay away from school and the truant officer looks them up, it is almost always found that they lack home care, and usually it is because the mother must go out to work.
 Hardships Imposed.
 It is sometimes said that hard ship is imposed by child labor laws on which the wages of the children are needed for the family support. Mayn such laws provide exemptions on the ground of poverty. But if the children join 'tlre ranks of child labor they are subjected to all it's physical and moral dangers and are deprived of the education which in a democracy is supposed to be the right of every boy and girl. Mothers pensions are practical way of meeting the situa- ticn, as they prevent the home from being broken up for reasons of pov- erty, except where the mother is in- efficient or immoral. and they enable the children to go to school.
