Economic Importance of the Farm Wo-

The loss to family and community
by the waste Of woman's energy here
described could be prevented by rcas-
enable amount of planning and vel!
directed Investment in modern couip-
ment. There is much talk nowadays
of the economic Importance Of con-
tented rural population willing to stay
on the land and help to build it up.
Perhaps the greatest factor in bring
in" this about will be the healthy,
alert, and expert home maker, who
will sec to it that a part Of the in
creased income from the farm is direct
ed toward the Improvement Of the
home as means Of contcntmcnt and
stimuli for farm work. Economists Of
our country, sccirg the steady migra-
tion citvward, recognizing the dcarth
Of farm labor as limiting factor in
nrodnction, and connecting this with
the isolation and convenience of rural
living conditions. are pointing out that
where these exist it is doubtful bust
ness pOlicv to use increased income to
b"v more land with heavy interest
c"arGcs a"ai"st it rather than to spend
part Of that income in raising stand

find contcntmcnt in comfortable, cf-

Protect LOng-Leaf Pine Seedlings.

Officials of the forest service, Unit
ed States department of agriculture,
returning from the south report that
the year 1920 is an unusual seed year
for long-leaf pine. The range of this
tree is roughly from North Carolina
through the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal
Plain States to eastern Texas. The
occurrence Of a good seed year is note
worthy, because this species natures
full crops of seed not oftener than
once in six or eight years.
The seed commonly ripens by early
September and falls to the ground
soon afterward. If the autumn wealth
er is not unusually dry, the seed ger
inmates in one to four weeks. Long
leaf pine produces large seed full of
rich food, so that it is eagerly sought
by insects, birds. and hogs.
In view of the fact that many
thousand acres will probably be car
peted wits long-leaf pine seedlings
next spring, forest service officials
urge owners OF long-leaf pine lands
TO take special care in protecting the
seedlings from fire. They point out
that it would cost IS to $40 per acre
TO do artifiCially what nature has done
gratis. Most of the tender seedlings
are killed during the first year or
two Of their existence. Many OF the
remaining small trees succeed in sur
viving fires, though with more or less
injury. Hogs in regions where these
trees grow destroy practically all the
seedlings they can get at by eating
the soft, succulent bark around the
tap root. 1t is urged that, if possible
they be excluded entirely from land
,rowing seedlings.
On lands burned over in the cold
season and not oftener than every two
or three years the majority OF tn"
long-leaf seedlings may be expected
| to survive. Annual burnings by very
hot fires kill practically all TINS
| young growth in the course OF lew
years. The common belief that fires
| do not injure lOng-ieaf pines or that
| they are even necessary for natural re-
| production is without foundation,
| though the tree does offer remark
| able resistance to injury from fire.
Tender young seedlings, however, are
| easily killed, and there is every reason
for beginning this year to provide
permanent protection for these valu-
able trees.

Relic of Mound Builders
Description Of Great Sepent of
Ohio ''.F .r'

West Union, Ohio, Sept. "a great
serpent 1900 feet long, built of earth
and, stone, symbol of the religion
of ancient peoples, stands a few miles
from here as the most interesting and
important earthwork left by the
mound builders of Ohio.
Situated in a rather secluded spot,
supposedly selected by the mound
builders for privacy in performing
their ancient rites, the massive rep
tile winds, gracefully back from a
glen to higher land. The serpents
head rests upon a rock platform which
presents a precipitous face to the
desceNding sun and Is about 100 feet
high. The jaws of the mouth are
widely extended in the act of swallow
ing an egg, represented by an oval
ridge Of earth.
AS the mound builders shaped the
body they caused it to make four large
folds as 1t tapered back to the tail.
which is folded in three complete and
close coils.
The land about this curious relic
of primitive days is low at the head
but gradually ascends toward the tail.
There is ample room on all sides for
q gathering of many people and the
belief is expressed that the idol wor
shippers gathered on all sides Of their
altar to pour forth praise, or beseech
forgiveness and blessings from the
beautifully hideous god of their own
creation.
THE Serpent Mound" was pur-
chased by Professor F. w. Putnam, of
the Peabody Museum. Cambridge,
Mass, in 1887. along with about 20
acres of adjacent land and shortly af-
terward a beautiful public park was
laid out on the ground. Thus in pres
ent days the spot of reverence sacred
to the people who preceded civiliZa-
ton in the nation is used as a play
ground for picnickers and pleasure
seekers. The deed to the land is vest
ed in the museum attached 10 Har-
ward University.
Those who have made study Of
the work of the mound builders have
estimated that in Ohio alone there
are over 10000 mounds and from L.,
500 to 1000 enclosures standing as
monuments to their work. BY the
study OF ancient implements and bur-
mystery hills it has been found pos
siblo to form conception of their
life.

Columbia, Sept. 15.-October 9th is

Day throughout the nation, and il
will be so observed in South Carolina,
according to State Insurance Commits
sioner MsSwain, of Columbia. Mr..
McSwain has not as yet outlined the
program to be suggested Tor the

schools and other organizations will
be asked to have certain exercises of
public nature that will impress on
the public the Importance of care in
the handling of fire.
With the approach of fall the fire
insurance officials and the fire depart
ment heads are calling attention to
to methods of preventing. fire loss
The total fire losses in America for
last year We're approximately $780,
600, 900.
Figures published by the United
States department of commerce show
that the per capita fire loss annually in
six European countries, averages S3
cents; the average per capita loss in
the United States is SO. In Canada
it is $3.07.
Glasgow has an annual fire loss of
1925, 200. Boston, smaller than Glas-
gov, has an annual loss of $1,000
from fires. Berlin's annual fire loss
is $4,000. ChlCagO's loss is SIS, 900

department costs 100000, the Chi

Public Funds
Being Wasted
English Papers Demonstrate
Government Inefficiency

London, Sept. 1S.-British papers
are printing almost daily examples Of
what they term the waste of public
funds A report just issued by the
committee of public accounts sheds
fresh light on the subject. Nearly S.
ooO'OoO was involved, it appears, in the
governments plant to finance the Rus
sian General AleXieff just before the
bolshevik revolution brought about his
collapse. Parts of the plan was to
set up Cossack state bank in ST.
IBERIA, and for that purpose $500, 900
was loaned to a Russian financier.
But the bank was never set up and the
committee wants to know what be-
came of the money.
The ministry of munitions paid SIP
$50, 900 for plant begun in 1917 and
which, when the war ended, was only
half finished. For this outlay the
committee points out, the country re
ceived no benefit whatever except
through the stimulus to the steel
tratde."
Waste of nearly 100000 is charged
