UNCLE SAM KNOWS HIS 5OYS
System of Finger Print Identification
Makes Errors in the Navy
Impossible.

"King Solomon" said the navy re-
crniting officer, "was the original iden-
LITIGATION expert. Remember how,
when two women claimed the same
child, he threatened to give each Of
them half the child to carry away?
And how the one who didn't wish the
child harmed was adjudged the real
mother? Well, the navy recruiting
service hasn't King Solomon on its
staff, but it handles similar problems
every day in the week. Twins recent
ly applied for enlistment. Their
mother had aever been really sure
which was Tom and which Harry, and
informed the recruiting officer that
she never had known whether she
were spanking the right one. Five
minutes afterward she was assured
that her boys would never get mixed
again. How? Finger prints.
'Loss Of memory (aphasia) and
such rare causes Of loss Of identity
are easily handled in the navy. Uncle
Sam knows his boys not only by their
middle names, but also by the little
lines engraved on the tips Of their
fingers. It's an absolutely up-to-date
safeguard for the boys in the service
and their families. For the matter
Of that, the whole navy system Of

The true army worm is likely to be
marching for an attack on Minnesota
crops, or actually attacking them
about August 1, says VIM. c. Cook,
of the entomology division, Minnesota
Experiment station. Mr.. Cook bases
his statement on the fact that large
number of adult moths of the army
worm have been collected, indicating
that a good deal of damage may be
caused by the summer generation of
the worm.
The RAINY worm may be controlled
by poisoned bran bait, made of SO
pounds of bran, pounds of paris
green, or white arsenic, mixed to-
gether dry, and then moistened with
half gallon of cheap molasses dis
solved in from s to 10 quarts OF
water.
If the worms are moving from one
field to another, this bait may be
sown thickly lin a furrow plowed just
ahead of the worms. If they are not
moving, it may be sown broadcast in
the infested field.
County agents should report at once
and infestations to the State Ento-
mologist, University Farm, st. Paul

CISCO FISHING IN INLAND LAKES

The action taken by the Wisconsin
legislature 10 allow of cisco fishing
under restrictions in inland lakes of
that state will be of interest to the
people OF the upper peninsula
The wisconsin Legislature OF 1919
enacted section 2935, OF the Statues,
which permits the use OF 100 feet
OF gill net for period Of 20 days for
the catching of cisco and whitefish
from the northern inland waters OF
the state. The license fee in sl.OO
plus 25c for a tag and the 20 day per-
Tod Is during the month of Noyem-
ber The law also prohibits q person
from having in his possession or un-
der his control or from catching at
anv time more than 100 pounds OF
such fish.
The lakes in the northern half OF
Wisconsin contain an abundance OF
cisco and whiteflsh II may be said
that they are never caught with hook
and line and the only manner In
which they can be taken is with the
use OF net and during the month
OF Nov. when the fish appear In
large numbers on the surface OF the
lakes. II seems a shame to leave this
large food supply in the water and
particularly at such time when food
products are high. These fish run In
size from one-half a pound to four
pounds in weight. In some lakes they
grow much larger than in others.
They are known in different local
tiles as cisco. tulegee or whitefish--
they all belong to the white-fish fam
lily. Similar action should be taken
by the Michigan Legislature.

of $500 per month. Likewise, any
teacher returning to the same class
room for a third years consecutive
service may receive further addi-
tional stipend of $500 per month.
Salaries in excess of these limits
must be supplied from local funds.
Likewise, the expense of the eighth
or ninth month in the school term
must be provided from additional
local funds.
To participate in the equalizing
appropriation, the district must
levy a local tax of at least eight
mills for running expenses. The Act
of 1920 permits any district to levy
as much as fifteen mills. The pa
irons of any school, therefore, may
meet the requirements of the
Equalizing Law by voting eleht
mills for salaries and may exceed
this requirement by voting seven
more mills for any purpose the tax
payers may deem advisable.
Scores of districts are not only
voting the eight mills, but are ex
ceeding this levy in order to pro-
cure additional advantages. The
time for voting local tax or fo1
raising a local levy expires October
1st. 1t is far better, however, to
vote school taxes during April, May
and June. Districts planning tax
elections during July and August
should confer Immediately with

eg rateful for a frank expression
f your views concerning the situa-
ton. South Carolina must increase
er investment in education. The
asst General Assembly appropriated
Is9S1, 100000 for the public schools.
n flaming for next year, the
tate Superintedent's office sought
raise s2,OO0,OO0.00 more. Of
MS amount $1,OO0,OOO.O0 was to
be voted in local taxes. Reports
coming to my desk show that this
s;oal has already been passed. To
,cure the second $1,000,OO0.O0 the
Legislature is to be ask. to add an
;her $1,000, 100000 to the public
chool budget. This amount. Of ST.
coo 100000 from the State Treas
ury is absolutely prerequisite to the
development of the schools and to
he operation cf the High School
Law, the Rural Graded School
Law, the Term Extension Law, the

Training Law, the Compulsory At
tendance Law, the Building Law
nd other important activities.
Last year the per capita expendi-
ure for public school education in
South Carolina was $500 head
per inhabitant. In some states eight
lines this per capita was provided.
On the basis of population, the
State Treasury supplied sixty cents
YER inhabitant. On the basis of
chool enrolment, the State sup
lied an average of $3.50 per pupil.
THIS amount must be doubled by the
ext Legislature, if the present pro-
ram under existing Laws is to be
arried out.

of the several states, the Russel
Sage Foundation recently put
South Carolina at the bottom and
ten points below Torto Rico. The
