C0lumD1a, April 14.-Out Of every

spite the war, 227 per cent more
motor vehicles were owned by South

compared with the same date in
1918. Statistics compiled by the
State Highway Commission on the
ownership Of automobiles, trucks
and motorcycles, taken from it's re-
cords of licensed motor vehicles,
show that on April 1. 1918. there
were Al, 1,195 motor vehicles in South

Regarded as Necessity Now.
The automobile has long since
passed out of the luxury class and is
rapidly becoming to be regarded as
q necessity. However, the number
of motor vehicles per capita is con-
sidered by conservative observers as
good index of any community's
buying power and prosperity.
The statistics on licensed motor
vehicles compiled by the State High
way Commission take no account OF
cars owned by the United States
government, as these cars are not
subject to state license. II govern
ment cars were counted the numbers
Of motor vehicles in the counties
containing camps would be greatly
increased.
On April l, 1919, there were 452
dealers in motor vehicles in South
Carolina. In this connection Rich
land county led the state. with
thirty-four dealers Greenville
came second with thirty-one. and
Orangeburg third. with twenty-nine.
The figures on the number Of Sec

The American Way.

When Uncle Sam was assigned a
sector on the Western Front, he i'm
mediately planned to develop his
end of the world war on American
railroad lines. Locomotives and
cars were shipped over bodily
American railroaders went along to
construct transportation system in
keeping with new world methods
in moving tonnage and passengers
When their plans began to ma
terialize that section of the front
was equipped to haul freight as il
is hauled to feed Chicago; with the
facilities for moving troops on a
scale equivalent to the suburban.
trains of Chicago. Not even German
efficiency could stand against that.
~Uncle Sam built in France 9S7
miles of standard gauge railroad
and 53S miles of narrow gauge
total of 1,475 miles, nearly as much
standard gauge as there is in Con-
nccticut-almost another Lacka-
wanna system. In locomotives. j.
1913 standard gauge and 400 narrow
gauge were shipped to France; in
cars, 1902 standard gauge and 3,
751 narrow gauge. All this railroad
equipment in France is valued at
more than $115.OOO. 900, and will
probably be sold to the French and
Belgium governments.
This tremendous outlay shows
how some of the money subscribed
to the Liberty Loans was spent. II
shows. too, the efficient way the
United States Government went
about to win this war. No time
was lost-no money was spared--to
put the job through. And the out
come was more quickly and glori-
ously won than anyone had dared to
dream.

Woman's Land Army.

Last summer the Woman's Land
Army was organized in twenty-one
States, and 10000 women worked
in the fields helping to produce food
for this country and Europe. 1t
was, of course, started as a war
emergency. but now that peace has
come it is still needed, for America
has before her the duty of feeding
most of the world. The Food Adj
ministration has pledged 10000, 900
tons of food for Europe for 1919.
This is almost twice the amount
sent last year so we feel sure the
farmerettes will be needed, and they
are ready and anxious to go to the
farms again. The Federal Depart
ment of Labor has created a. Divi-
sion of the Woman's Land Army
which cooperates with the volunte Or
organization.
The Maryland Division Of the
Woman's Land Army has offices at
306 Mccoy Hall, baltimore, Nd,
and anyone wishing information is
invited to call or write and receive
help.

Waen the Sixty-sixth Congress
meets in special session on May Is
it will face unprecedented conditions
in America history, other than the
absence of the Chief Executive from
the country.
The absence of the President will
in itself constitute a new precedent.
Congress will have to legislate IN
many respects with an eye to oul
obligation to our associates in the
League of Nations. The fact that
our new alliance is called league
and that it has not yet been technic-
ally ratified by the Senate does not
alter the practical aspects of the
case. That it will be ratified and
that the ratification will constitute a
new epoch in American history i
obvious.

Army Trucks for Federal-Aid Roads.

An extra contribution of materials
running into the millions of dollars
will be made by the Federal Govern
ment to road building in the States
through the terms of recent
amendment to the Federal aid road
act empowering the Secretary Of
War in his discretion to transfer
military equipment not needed y
the Army to the Department. of Agri-
culture for use in highway construc-
ton. The Judge Advocate Gem
erals Office of the War Department
has decided that the material so
transferred can not be charged for.
The War Department has informed
the Bureau of Public Roads that it
has large number of surplus motor
trucks available for this pnrpos J.,
and State highway departments nov
are being asked by the bureau what
quantities they can put to use. The
Bureau of Public Roads officials be-
lieve there will be sufficient to meet
all demands from the States. The
trucks and other military equip
ment transferred by the War De-
partment must be used only on Fed
eral aid projects and can not be sold
by the State after they are donated
from the Federal Government.

The terrible Hun Is showing
more yellow by bowling at the peace
terms he has been handed by the
Allies. This same Hun was ready
enough to do any dastardly work
while he had the upper hand, but
now that his teeth are all being
pulled he is beginning to see things
in a different light, and before the
Allies get through with him he will
find out he has big bill to pay for
the wilful and unnecessary destruc-
ton he wrought. He is bowling
now and pleading for mercy, but all
he wants is a chance, and he would
do the same thing over again. This
shows what he really is at heart,
and his bowling at the present time
is in line with his pleading for the
armistice,- save as much of his
ccwardly hide as possible.

Stamping Out Illiteracy.

The actual percentage of Hitter

In other words, one out of eve
four could neither read nor write.
Americans have prided themselves
on their educational system, but tho
draft showed that no country had
such a staggering percentage oi
aliens and illiterates. Being able
neither to read nor write, these
illiterates had little or no oppoi
tunity to know and appreciate
American principles, ideals or gov
eminent.
Through the mammoth scnooi
system that has been established
overseas, the War Department is
doing its part to stamp out This
illiteracy. OF an army of apsroxi

There is an after-the-War song
running something like this.
"How you going to get him
Back ON the farm,
After he's seen
Paree?"
The problem is one that the
United States Department of Agri-
culture is successfully attacking,
not by back to-the-farm" propa
ganda, but simply by informing. sol
diers of. lefnite opportunities to
enter or return to agricultural work.
Already such opportunities have
proved to be all that was necessary
to induce many soldiers, sailors aud
marines to join or rejoin the peace
time army of food producers.
At the rehabilitation camps agrI-
cultural representatives are confer
ring with soldiers about oppor-
tunities for a job in agricultural
work. The information they give
the men is definite. Each demobili-
cation camp discharges men from
certain States. These representa-
tives have a list of all agricultural
jobs open in those States. These
lists are classified into different
types of farming, so that the soldier
can quickly be connected with the
particular job he wants or is best
suited to fill.
Many soldiers have saved some OF
their pay while in the Army. They
now want to start in the farming
business for themselves. The Gov
eminent helps them decide where
they can best make start with their
limited capital, and Outlines helps
them secure credit for buying farm
equipment
Where records have been kept
they show that many soldier who
would have drifted to a city goes
back to the farm. In one camp, be-
fore the agricultural representative
had information about definite jobs
and farm opportunities, SO per cent

get job. After he had the infor-
nation only per cent of those with
previous farm experience chose the
city
There was a shortage of farm
labor before the war. One million
men went from the farms into mill
tary and naval service. Some OF
these men will not return to the
land. This is neither unusual nor
unexpected Many thousands OF
young men left the farms during
peace times for industry, the pro-
fessions, and work in the cities. But
the large majority of soldiers who
came from the farms ana who are
given any reasonable opportunity
are again taking up farm work.

Partnerships Required To Make Ii.

Partnerships Required To Make IN.
come Returns.
Hon. Joshua W. Miles, Collector
of Internal Revenue, has issued a
statement calling attention IT, the
fact that under the present Income
Tax Law all partnerships are re-
CURED to make a return of income
regardless of gross or net income
This return must be made on a
blank form furnished by the Col
lector's Office and known as Form
1865.
This is new feature of the In
come Tax Law and Collector Miles
issues this statement at this time in
order that all persons liable to file
partnership return may be apprizer
of the necessity for doing so. He
said:
Partnerships as such are not rub
ject to TAXATION under the
statute, but individuals carrying oil
business in partnership are taxo5le
upon their distributive shares OF the
net income of such partnerships,
whether distributed or not, and are
required to include such distributive
shares in their returns.
The larger business concerns are
probably aware of the necessity OF
filing the partnership return, but il
is the great number of small con
Germs which l fear will fail to make
this statement because the necessity
therefore is unknown to such con
Germs.
These returns must be filed in the
office of the Collector of Internal
Revenue at Baltimore, Maryland,
not later than June 18th. Every
partnership, without regard to the
amount of it's gross or net income,
should apply to the Collectors office
promptly for blank form upon
which to file it's return
