A PERNERSE CONGRESS.

the proposal is in line with the perverse record
of this congress to spread general alarm among
the business Of this country who concern
ed for holding our important gains in foreign trade
and adding 10 them. The recommendation of the
committee in the face OF the facts and the urging
OF associations OF business that the activities
OF the bureau be kept upo a broad scale would be
astounding not prepared by many similar
instances of the ignoring OF public sentiment and

THE SOLDIERS BONUS.

All these demands for a soldiers bonus are get
ting on the nerves of congress More than 100 bonus
bills have been introduced but none are near final
action. The congressman are between the devil and
the deep sea They fear to antagonize the non-sol-
der vote by giving the soldiers what they want.
chief among these measures is the so-called "ad-
fusted compensation bin championed by the Amer
can legion by which all soldiers and sailors would
be given $50 for every month of service abroad
or nj home. The legion officers maintain that this
would be nothing more than strict justice. because
The sum represents the average amount that civil
ians were able to save while the soldiers and sailors
were in service It is estimated that such payment
would require nearly S2.oOO.OOO.0OO. The prospect
Of granting it is naturally dsqueting to government
ofHcals and legislators who realize the condition
OF the federal treasury and take it seriously.
Whether not 100000 100000 men de
serve" any such Compensation over and above the
regular emoluments and honoIs involved in serving
their country in wartime is fair question for de
hate Millions OF Americans surprised, and
rather ashamed, that such demand should be
made Evidently "A good many OF the service men
themselves are rather ashamed of it, holding that
they prize their war sacrifice too highly to set
money value on It.
There has not been enough discussion of this
matter II would be an excellent thing if the ques
ton could be brought directly before the pub
lie The PEOPLE who would have to pay the bill
ought TO have something to say about it. The meas
ure referred to would probably cost the average
American family 800. Would the service men want
to ask that from their neichbors? or would their
peighbors want to pay it? Why not informal
referendum?

YEAR AHEAD
FOR NEWBERRY COLLEGE
Large Enroliment-New Dormitory
and Liberal Support From Alum
nj and Friends,

The enrolment at Newberry college
this term is 276, including 33 sub
freshmen. Or account of the low
price of our money ceop-c 2tton Ia
few Of the students viii be forced to
leave college at the close of this term.
However, some new students will en-
ter January H. SO that the enrolment
will remain practically.the same.
The new boarding hall and dcrmi-
tory was completed early last Oc-
tober. This building has large din
ing room, a splendid reception room,
cosy quarters for the rnatron and her
family and rooms FOR 50 students.
The building has steam heat and is
comfortably furnished and equipped
throughout. 1t is the hope Of the
trustees to be able next summer to
convert Smeltzer hall, our large DOR
mitory, into a modern, up TO date
dormitory The plan as outlined will
provide room for $50 students. Tie
old boarding hall has been made into
a handsome and well appointed resi-
dence and will be occupied in Janu-
airy by Prof. ". K. Gotwald AID
family.S
The alumni and former students
of the college have sallied IN quiet
but effective way to the support Of
our athletics. A sum Of money has
been pledged that will assure our
friends that this department Of COL
lege life is going to have sufficient
financial backing. The sum will be
increased by contributions from
others from, many sections Of the
state, and even beyond the state.
Mr.. A. II. .I2Kohn Of Columbia has
been elected treasurer of the stu
dents loan fund This fund is now
small but the friends of the. college
feel sure, that the recognized zeal OF
Mr.. Nohn will effect results Of I'M
mense and permanent value Is the
college and 20 Christian education. !,
The triangular debate, Wexford,
Presbyterian college and Newherry,
this year will have in addition 70 the
IL
debate by teams selected from the
student body Of these colleges, a de-
bate by members selected exclusively
from the freshman class of each. Our
debating teams will be selected soon
after the holidays.
The Rev. w. K. Gotwald of the
college faculty is now supplying the
pulpit of the Lutheran church IN
Newberry, and will continue this
service until the church secures a
regular pastor. Dr.. Gotwald is a
very able preacher and. his sermons
are very acceptable to the members,
and to the many strangers who at
tend.
The young nen Of the boarding
hall presented the matron, their
"other mother" with beautiful and

for the holiday vacation.

$4,000, 100000 less than the smaller
crop of 1919 and s1,o00,000,000 less
than the still smaller crop of 1913.
The best estimate that can now be
made indicates that the total value
of animal products in 1920 is $751;
100000 or about S200,000,000 less
than in 1919.
tsThere is probably no other indus
try or business that could suffer a
similar experience and avoid insol-
vency."
Farm finance, he said, has become
more and more involved until it
ranks in Importance with the finan-
cial problems Of industry. In this. as
in marketing, Mr.. Meredith suggested
expansion of the cooperative idea as
likely to bring. definite and tangible
results of benefit to the farmer. The
department is making study with a
view to applying the cooperative
plan to farm mortgage and personal
credit and farm insurance, the report
added.
National thought will. be directed
to the problem of land ownership
during the year Immediately ahead,
MFR. Meredith predicted. Causes and
results of farm tenancy, he said, must
be placed "sauarely before the Amer
lean people SO that their Importance
may be recognized" since on the
question ;of soil. depletion and the
serious effect it has on production
depends largely the food supply OF
the future. He urged congress to
make available funds for exhaustive
studies in this connection.
A governmental study also should
be made of the farm labor situation,
Mr.. Meredith ssid.
"Failure to recognize its complex
ity,', he added, ..shas resulted in many
unwise attempts to- solve it.
The movement from the farm to
the city constitutes "a real concern"
in America, the report said.
# the increasing population is to
be fed from available farm lands, eff
forts to reduce agricultural hazards
must 60 forward vigorously, Mr..
Meredith said. Among these hazards
he enumerated plant diseases, insects,
rodents and live stock diseases. Con-
eress was urged TO provide for wider
of these questions, the
report asserting they should,sbe curb
ed as a pational duty TO ward of
grievous situations in the annual food
production in later years.
