Both houses have agreed on the
repeal of the daylight saving law
to take effect next October. We
are inclined to think that the most
of the dissatisfaction is founded up
on irritation rather than under
standing, but the dissatisfaction is
an undoubted fact, particularly i'm
the countries. In the cities the law
has worked better though in Cleve-
land it was so little approved that
the city officials abandoned sum
mer time" as they call it in Eng
land, and went back to the old time.
For the purpose of allaying exten-
sive discomfort, we should say that
the President had better sign the
bill Those who favor the law are
only mildly interested, while those
who are against it seem to be in
deadly earnest.

Two young Missouri women. who
have been employed as secretaries s
in University of Missouri iofices
will take up claim of $40 acres of
land in Wyoming. The land is good
cattle land, has few pine trees
and some coal. They say they will
be saved the trouble of hauling coal
in the winter, for they can 90 right
out on their land and dig it up.
Each will build her own house. To
prove their claim in two!years they
must have forty acres of the $40
under cultivation. All the work

the young women are going to do
by themselves. They have to live

Did you ever stop to figure out
what funny thing arithmetic is
During the war Uncle Sam raised
the price of postal cards from one
to two cents. This was an advance
of 100 per cent. Now he has re
~duced the price from two cents to
one cent but this is only so per cent
redution. He also raised the price
of two cent stamps to three cents
This was a raise of so per cent
Now he puts the price back from
three cents to two cents but this is
only 33 per cent reduction. Some
people might think Uncle Sam is
swindling somebody but he isn't
and the results are the same. 1t is
only the funny way that figeers
have to fieeer.

FORD

Ford cars are important servants
everywhere. They help the family
enjoy life. bring the pleasures and
advantages ofthe town within reach
of the farmer and give practical SER
vice every day in country and town.
They require minimum of atten-
tion; any one can run the Ford and
care for it, but it is better to have
repairs and replacements taken
care of by those who are familiar
with the work and have the tools.
the genuine materials, and skilled
men to do the work promptly. We
pledge Ford owners the reliable
Ford service with real Ford parts
and standard Ford prices.

Banks all over the country are
carrying on extensive campaigns to
show the advantage of intensive
farming, such as raising berry
crops. sugar beets. increasing the
yield of the corn and small grain
crops, breeding up the flocks and
herds and in general running the
farm as a business proposition. A
live bank operated on modern lines
is one of the greatest assets any
community can have.

Figured Either Way.

On all hands we are bombarded
with the exhortation to be thrifty,
to save. And. as a matter of fact,
we have had presented to us many
of the most practical reasons for
not saving. II becomes increasing
ly evident that there is much to be
said 10 favor of blowing in all of
our money while we can buy some.
thing with it.
II conditions continue along their
present course man will soon be
unable to buy a pair Of trousers at
the price which now purchases a
suit of clothes. And the same price,
five years ago, would have bought
a suit of clothes plus an overcoat.
1t seems more practical, therefore,
to stock up in clothes and every.
thing else for the next five or SIX
years.
But unfortunately fashions
change. and if we are at all fastidi.
GUS the extra dozen suits which we
buy now will be out of date in a
year or two. Still, if we do not
worry over the vagaries of fashion
we might endure that disadvantage.
But groceries will not keep quite
so long We must resign ourselves
to eating as much as we can con-
sumo, and paying the increased
prices which probably will be levied
every few months.
We have no right to blame the
grocer or the tailor. They charge
more because they have to pay
more. The dollar is the culprit. 1t
has deprecated.
If you were saving kind of per,
son five years ago you put your
money in the bank. Perhaps you
saved enough to buy few bonds.
Or perhaps you merely kept money
on deposit. You felt that if you
did this for few years you would
have quite a tidy sum at the end of
that time.
Instead of this, each dollar that
you laboriously earned and saved
is now worth sixty.five cents. If
you saved $1,000, you have really
only $3.50. If you saved $1,000,
you haye $3.50 left. You have
lost the rest, just as though you had
dropped it in the sea. The dollar
is to blame. 1t has shrunk.
1t is the duty of the government,
by some economic measure. to
Stabilize the dollar. Otherwise.
people will quit saving. They will
naturally want to spend all of their
money now. before it shrinks into
nothing.
Every time prices take a jump,
the dollar takes slump. Soon it
will reach the bottom of the greas-
ed skid. and then-revolution. an.
archy, disintegration. Another
Mexico.
A nation that has lost its habit
of thrift is headed for swift economic
disaster.

A Good Law

One of the very important laws
enacted by a recent legislature was
a bill to prevent the throwing of
glass bottles. barbwire, tacks, or
hedge on public roads or highways.
This bill was introduced and cham
pioned by Representatives Buster of
Livingston county and will 90 a
long way to stop the practice and
punish the people who violate its
provisions. Auto traffic has had a
great deal trouble with glass bottles
and other like articles dangerous to
the traffic. causing punctures and
blowouts The act reads as fol.
lows:
Sec. l II shall be unlawful for
any person to throw or place, or
cause to be thrown or placed. any
glass. glass bottles. barbwire. nails,
tacks or hedge on public roads or
highways in this state.
Sec. 2. Any person who violates
any provisions of this act shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor
and upon conviction thereof, shall
be fined the sum of not to exceed
one hundred ($10O dollars, or by
Imprisonment in the county Jail
for period not to exceed I'D year,
or both such fine and imprisonment
may be imposed.
You must not read a newspaper
on the streets in Birmingham, Eng
land. John Turner did it and was
fined $3.50 for causing an obstruc-
ton of traffic. The arresting con-
stable testified that Turner bought
a paper from a newsboy and began
reading it. causing a crowd to gather
20 see what the news was. The
newsboy also was fined $3.50 for
causing a crowd to collect by selling
papers while standing on the side
walk. Newsboys must keep moving
in Birmingham.

ALFRED ALDRICH
DIES IN ANDERSON.
Special to The State.

Speclal TO Ine state.
Andersn, May 17.-The death OF
Col. Alfred Aldrich at a hospital here
this afternoon at o'clock marked the
passing of a beloved citizen of South
Carolina, patriot of the State and =
true gentlemany of the old South Col
onel Aldrich had been patient at the
hospital for the last month and his
death is the end Of a general break
down, following period of ill health.
lasting several months.
Colonel Aldrich passed his 18TH
birthday yesterday. He was known
over the State as an important but not
as a conspicuous figure in the history
OF South Carolina, especially in the
upbuilding of the State since the close
OF the War Between the States He
was born at Barnwell, the son OF
Judge A. P. Aldrich and had lived the
greater portion of his life on his
plantation in Barnwell county. He
was educated at the Citadel and left
school to enter the Confederate army
in which he fought as member OF
Buffers Guards of Hampton's Legion
until he was severely wounded at the
battle of Trevillian( Station.
& He was married to Miss Zay Martin
OF Augusta, Ca, and to this union was
born one son, Robert NJ .A1drich, now
of Savannah, who was at his fathers
bedside at the time Of his death.
After the war, Colonel Aldrich was
q member of the fsnous band OF Red
Shirts and did valuable work in help
ing South Carolina to redeem herself
of many OF the aorrors of reconstruc-
s ton days. After conditions had be-
come more settled in the State Colonel
Aldrich turned his attention more
completely to farming and is well
known as a successful planter. He
originated the Aldrich crop plan, a
system of alternating rows of corn
and cotton, which was once very: pop
nlar in the South and is yet used in
many sections.
