RECLAIMINC ABONDONED
RICE FIELDS IN s. C..

In the Coastal Plains section Of
South Carolina there are hundreds of
thousands Of acres of abordoned rice
lands awaiting some sort of agricul-
tural regeneration. Much of this

last year or two several pioneer spirits
have undertaken experimental opcr-

results are beginning 10 appear. Chief
among these pioneers is Ex-Governor
Haywood, who owned an old rice
farm and who has organized the Com
bahee Company to drain and operate
several thousand acres. This COM
rany's drainage is accomplished by
pumping tn, drainage water over

The business outlook for the United
States, especially in the Northwest, is
very promising. With increased activi-
ty in all lines Of business and trades,
labor is well employed at wages that
are remunerative. Crops are looking
fine and promise big money returns to
the farmer. Peace is in sight and soon
the bulk of men in the army will be re-
turned to the more profitable pursuits
of peace. The only dark cloud on the
horizon is the industrial unrest. Or
gained labor is clamoring for more
wages and reduced working hours.
Strikes are of frequent occurrence. It
is to be hoped that all classes and con-
ditions of men will let good common
sense control their actions. If all CO.
operate in the work of reconstruction,
the United States will have an era of
prosperity the like of which has never
been experienced before.

Flag Day.

Cold and scholastic philosophers
sometimes argue that flag is only a
textile fabric. Why them. they say,
should twentieth century people think
that banner made up of red, white
and blue stars and stripes is any better
than any other combination of forms
and colOrs?
Yet the fact remains that on a battle
field, men fight with the abandon of
desperation to save that red, white and
blue bit Of cloth from trailing in the
ground. The flag stands for ones home
town, for dear friends one has left be-
mind, for all the tie of unity that binds
together the various sections of great
and achieving country.
The man from Texas and the man
from Maine are long way apart in
distance. Quite frequently they dis
agree on political history and economic
philosophy. But let those two men get
together in Germany or in Borneo or
Japan, and they find that they think
alike and that their interests are iden-
teal. They bow in reverence to the
same bit of red, white and blue. They
will stand back to back and fight for
it and for their common interest.
And SO as years go on, the sections
come closer together. When the man
from Florida hears that the man from
Oregon has accomplished this or that
deed of triumph in some far off land,
he is almost as proud Of it as if he did
it himself. az b.
So the flag stands for the American
idea and it is dear to every American.
It means SO much that Flag Day has
come to be a widely recognized occa-
sion. On June IA, 1777, Congress adopt
ed the present emblem of stars and
stripes as the United States flag. Let
every school celebrate the occasion as
one binding American sentiment to-
gether, and let every home in Marshall
county recognize it's loyalty to the
American ideal by showing its colors

Boy Scout Work.

President Wilson has issued an ap-
peal suggesting that the week June S-14
be observed everywhere as Boy Scout
Week.
The Boy Scouts did such fine work
during the war, that they are entitled
now to little glorifcation. The type
of boy who used to be chasing around
the streets ringing peoples door bells
and hooking fruit, has been given by
the Scouts an outlet for his surplus
activities. He has been given chance
to crafty those instincts Of primitive
experience and wild life that are in
nate in every boy. At the same time he
has had the touch of discipline that
frequently he fails to get in his own
home.
These boys under old customs would
!: have been negligible force in the war.
The Scouts brought them into line as
community workers, and got lot Of
service out Of them. They sold great
amounts Of bonds and war, stamps, they

The Wedding Month.

June from time immemOrial has been
regarded as suspicious for weddings
Marriages of the quiet home wedding
kind may be nearly as frequent as other
times of the year. But the girl who
wants to do the thing up with all the
fxin's, finds that the abundance of
flowers at this time of year solves
many decoration problems. Nature be-
comes the florist, and. no fancy prices
have to be paid for blossoms
The symphony Of love demands a
stunning climax, with all the parapher-
MALTA of flower girls, ribbon bearers,
bridesmaids, color schemes, march play
ers, and goodness knows what. To the
masculine mind, they all look about
alike
4 But the discriminating feminine OBJ
server finds them full Of infinite and
interesting variations, all having more
or less significance, with the usual con-
clusion that the last wedding attended
was the prettiest.
The masculine element looks upon
these doings with a mixture of amused
tolerance and bored Indifference.
Father-in-law gently hints to the pros
pective bridegroom that an elopement
solves many problems, and informs him
that for a flyer respected clergyman
over in the next city will perform the
ceremony with perfect regularity and
good form and no expense. The bride
groom assents heartily, but regretfully
admits that he has no voice in the pro-
ceedings which are preordained by the
higher powers.
The glorified weddings may serve a
purpose as suggestion of the supreme
dignity of matrimony. Anyway the
microbe Of romance is said to be busy
on such occasions. The results of the
infection are commonly observable by
Z another season. The June bride is
worthy OF all her. ,honors. The well be
ing of the race is built on her woman
hood. The Sheaf takes off it's hat to
her, with respectful Difference and best
wishes

planted gardens, they distributed liter
ature, they helped swell the enthusiasm
at parades. They gave up great deal
Of time they used to spend in aimless
rowing. And apparently they were just
as happy. Give a boy drum and a
leader, and he will have just as much
fun as if he is stealing fruit.
In towns and neighbor hoods where
the Scouts are well established, the
citizens should take hold to place their
organization on a firmer foundation.
They should have permanent quarters,
where they can meet for drills and so
cial life and entertainment. Business
men and athletic leaders should be will
ing to take hold and serve as Scoutmas-
tiers and help otherwise 7:
Towns that have no Scout organiza-
ton should hasten to form one. It
seems the best society yet formed to
bring out boys and develop them along
lines of discipline and achievement.

The Paris Peace Conference is still
wrestling with the big problems con-
nected with the negotiations of the
treaty Of peace and every day new COM
plications arise that delay the work.
It seems that the high ideals once talk

ideals that would unite the nations in
bonds of brotherly love and make fu-
ture wars impossible, have gone glim-
mering Instead seeds of future wars
are sown broadcast and may ripen into
a still more terrible world war in the
near future. General discomfort and
hate seems to be the ruling passion all

Good Reasons For Good Roads.

There is worthy movement on foot
for better roads Every business man,
every home providereand every motor
list should support it. Good roads bene-
fit all classes of people in their every
day life.
This vast country has grown so en-
ormously and so fast that it's railroads
cannot deliver the goods, nor carry the
people as the prosperity of the country
and present demands require.
With good roads the farmer can de-
liver all his products direct to towns
within radius of fifty or more miles
and though making more profit him
self, he is reducing the high cost of liv-
ing.
Millions of dollars are lost every
year through perishable goods spelling
on the railroads because Of freight de-
lays and complications. Inter-city
mOtor-express over distances Of a hun
dred or more miles has already become
a profitable business where good roads
exist. Single large firms have actually
saved over. 100000 yearly by using
motor trucks and they will undoubted-
~ contribute largely to organized i'm
provement of roads,
Good roads are a paying investment.
Local authorities in cities, towns and
counties should act without delay to
meet the growing national and local de-
mands before trade goes in other di-
rections. It is almost impossible to get
back the lost advantage after other dis
tricts have won it.
Good roads bring automobiles.
They spend money. Good roads bring
trade, and increase property values.
They attract home-seekers and indus
tries. This country has more than six
million automobile owners, one to every
eighteen of the population, and about
fifteen of those ride in automobiles
The way to make prosperity flow
into any locality is to build roads SO
that they will last and not have to be
done over every few years.
