Sentatives.
The Cleanup Squad, consisting of
four representatives Of the govern
ment, was in Laurens October 25th
10Th and 9th, last week. The rcport
or the squad given to Red Cross head
quarters shows that 461 cases of ex-
service men were taken up. Among
these were vocational claims, COM
pensation claims, death claims. and
examination for immediate hospitali-
zation of ex-service men.
Many Of the claims were completed
mus giving some of the ex-servicc
men very definite knowledge as to
their claims. However, in most cases
the claims taken up were sent to
government headquarters for imme-
diate action. 1t is believed at Red
Cross headquarters that much good
was accomplished for ex-service men
ny these representatives having come
to Laurens.

1t cannot be denied that when two
such prominent men in the steel in
dustry as Charles M. Schwab and
Judge Ebert H. Gary unite in hailing
the governments program for a naval
holiday as marking the epoch of the
greatest business prosperity, as we'll
as the largest amount Of happiness
the world has ever witnessed, the mar
row view which would measure the
proposals by the extent to which they
''injure business" is relegated to OBJ
livion. Before the members of the
American iron and steel institute in
New York last Friday Mr.. Gary de-
clared even unworthy of passing no.
tice the suggestion that the limitation
Of ornaments would result in the
manufacture Of less steel. He doubt
ed if there would be any reduction in
the product at all, but believed it
would, in any event, be small. And
Mr.. Schwab, speaking as head Of a
great naval shipbuilding corporation,
voiced the same doubt as to loss to
the steel industry, but cmphatically
repudiated the thought that such a
thing as financial loss could be con-
sidered when compared with the ines
Unable benefit to mankind which
would be involved in the plan to stop
the present ruinous competition in
naval construction.

The motorization Of fire departments
has placed many faithful horse out
Of commission. Some Of them-more's
the shame-have been sold to sheeny
junk pcddlcrs to exc out an existence
of semistarvation and drudgery in
their old age, when they have sur
vivcd their usefulness and been sup
planted by the electrified or gasolized
fire engine. This merely goes to show
the inhumanity Of which man is capa-
BILE. Some of these horses have gal
Hoped to fires for Is or 20 years and
the fremen loved them-treatcd them
as friends, which they were. But the
edict is issued from headquarters to
auction these faithful servants off to
the highest bidder, and many of them
have been sold to the most cruel mas
tiers. Firemen have wept to see their
old friends and associates knocked
down to the junk gatherer and others
of that ilk, but they could do nothing
to better the situa ton. Why are not
these horses either humanely put out
Of existence or placed in the hands of
men who will we'll care for them by
municipalities which have motorized
their fire systems? To say the least,
the manner in which fire horses are
DISPOSED of is an abOminah1e shone-
cruel and inhuman.

Many of us are inclined to think
that the world we live in today is sc
much better than the world our fathers
ond ancestors lived in that we some
times give them small thanks for
what they have done. But supposing
we could put ourselves half a dozen
generations ahead and look back at
what we are doing now? This would
show us that the future will be as
much better than the present as the
present is better than the past. Let
US remember that the development of
modern business has made it possible
for us to use and enjoy all the efforts
of the past and that we, by the same
token, arc required by the obligations
We owe to civilization to put forth
our BEST endeavors, not only that the
present may be good, but that the fu-
ture Of business may be as fourishing
as that which we are now helping to
make.

We wondlr if a number Of people in

ing, 81 am a RADICAL" we cannot re-
frain from wondering whether he is
not really conveying a false i'm
preston. The majority Of these
men who % around the country talk
ing so blithcly about being radicals are
really not very radical at heart. 1t
probably w-uld be safe to wager that
most of thea could not be forced even
at the point of a bayonet to commit an
extremely radical act.

ANNUAL MEETING >
OF FARM BUREAU
CONTINUED from page one)

the number of cars ran up to 1,100
as many as were received by the four
highest firms and % other firms. Last
month the Central handled 1892 cars
or more livestock than any two firms
have ever handled on the South St.
Paul markets in the same length OF
time. The agency is growing. Dur.
ing the first week, we made enough tc
pay labor. The second week we paie
expenses, the third we began to mako
money and at the end of the fourth
week we laid aside some money. The
sum Of $4,000 has been put out o!
interest and if we had charged the ole
rates we would have laid aside $685.
900 in four months. Any surplus thai
the association has will eventually
go back to the people who have
shipped through the central agency
Last month we handled livestock fol
less than So per hundred weight. W.
will be able to operate ct less than s.
per hundredweight for the years
average providing we get the support
Of the livestock producers Of tits
county and other counties.
Thirty-fve firms have representa-.
tives calling on your shippers. You
hear stories about terminal marketing
agencies. Do not believe them until
you find out whether they are true or
not.
The future prospects Of the Central
Cooperative Shipping association are
good. Armour and Swift arc not at
tempting to boycott us, as some peo-
pie might think. The day is coming
when the livestock producers will have
marketing agencies in all Of the large
markets of this country. By January
l, we expect to DC in the St. Louis
market; by February /, in Pittsburg
and by March I, in Chicago.
A. J. Mcclure delivered the second
address of the afternoon. Mr.. Me-
CURE has for years taken an active in
terest in the dairying industry. He
assisted in organizing many Of the CO.
operative creameries, including the Mil
AGA creamery which was established in
1901. At present he is directing the
organization of the Minnesota COOP
erative creameries association. One Of
the purposes of this organization is to
standardize the product of these
creameries and to place their butter
on the big markets as the butter of the
Minnesota cooperative creamcries.
Mr.. Mcclure believes that the cream
cries must market their own produce
If the packers are not to get nonop-
ly on it as they have on the cheese.
He stated that the centralizers have
already driven the cooperative cream
cries off the Chicago, Minneapolis and
St. Paul markets. Two hundred and
fifty cooperative creameries have now
joined the association.
In closing his address, Mr.. Mcclure
spoke very highly Of David C. Berg,
who has been chosen as field man in
district which includes Mile Laos
county.

The free. uently occurring stories
told by men who have been found
gagged and robbed in their places of
business of thousands of dollars worth
Of gems and large sums of money are
beginning to look particularly fishy.
The popularity Of some of these al
legged robberies is that, although they
were ostensibly committed in broad
daylight, no passerby could be found
who say bandits enter or leave the
stores at the time stipulated by the
persons gagged. It would be we'll for
the insurance companies interested to
thoroughly investigate these cases.

Must Pull Herself Together.

1t is time to stop all loose talk about
the cancellation of European debts and
the prospective destruction of civiliza-
ton. Unless the latter is subtle
propaganda in support Of the former,
it is the 'outpouring Of hysterical
weaklings which works in we'll with
the willy statesmen and fnanciers who
believed in the Integrity of obligations
when these were owned in their hemi-
sphere, but disbelieved in them when
the credit is on the other side of the
Atlantic. /.
Europe is not:prosperous, admitted
ly, but Europe is better off than she
has been following any of her great
wars. Nothing in Germany today re-
motely resembles the shambles and the
desolation which followed the religi-
Gus wars or the condition after Fred
erick II had fought his Russian, Aus
TRAN and French enemies in most of
the kingdoms that form the German
empire.
Nothing that happened in Europe
during the great war compares with
the rapine Of fire and sword which
Napoleon carried to Berlin, to Mos
cow, to Vienna and to Madrid. and
which the victorious allies carried to
Paris.
Europe's troubles are small COM
pared to those Of the thirteen Ameri-
can colonies ravished by British and
Hcssian troops, freed from the tyran-
ny OF the parent country but with
out organized government of their
own, without a fiscal system, without
communications and with undcveloped
natural resources.
From all the catastrophes above
mentioned the victims rallied with
reasonable celebrity to infinitely better
conditions than those which had pre-
coded them. In the same way modern
Europe will rally from her present
dependency, which, indeed, is more
psychological than actual; but she will
not rally nor begin to rally until she
frees herself from the delusion that
honest prosperity can be built on dis
honorable reputation, and that
virilc civilization can be founded on
the cowardly evasion Of unpleasant
truths.-Chicago Tribune.

VALUE OF AN EDUCATION.

This week the national educational
association and the American legion are
making a special effort to bring be-
fore the public the need of more and
better education in this country. 1t is
not surprising to find the American
legion interested in this movement be-
cause only through education can we
hope to raise the standard of citizen
ship in our country.
Very frequently the question is
raised these days as to what is the
real value of an education. Many of
our cmincntly successful business men
are of the opinion that college cdu-
cation is apt to be more of a liability
than an asset to young man enter
tering a business career. There may
be some grounds for this assertion but
the majority Of thinking men recog-
nize the value of college and universe
ty training even if they themselves
never had the privilege Of attending
such institutions.
1t is fact which is so we'll recog-
nized as to need no reiterating that a
man may become we'll educated with
only very limited attendance at any
school. However it is an equally we'll
recognized fact that the average boy
or girl progresses most rapidly when
struction.
Possibly three Of the most distin-
gushing characteristics of truly edu-
Gated man are the power to think
clearly, highly developed sense of
perception and the ability to correct
ly estimate relative values. Ere
quently the uneducatcd man makes the
mistake of supposing that the boy or
girl who has been awarded a college or
university diploma should be a walk
ing encyclopedia. Any man with much
brains is not going to attempt to store
his head full Of facts. He knows it is
much moro important to develop the
power to think clearly, to obtain a fail
general knowledge and to know
where and how to find the specific
facts when needed.
A highly developed sense Of percep-
ton and appreciation is of more value
to a man than great sums Of money.
Of what real benefit is mans wealth
if he is not capable of approaching
that which he can purchase with it?
He may have the means to collect a
most valuable library and still, as far
as the real worth of his books is con-
sidered, be as destitute as the beggar
on the streets. He may employ cx-
perts to lay out beautiful gardens and
still those gardens may not belong to
him as truly as they do to the laborer,
with keen sense of appreciation Of
the beautiful, who clips his hedges.
Possession does not always mean real
ownership.
The third characteristic of the cdu-
Gated man, the ability to correctly csti-
mate relative values, is a priceless
asset which tends to make for success
in any business or profession. A man
cannot succeed who is not capable of
distinguishing Between the important.
and unimport 1T and who cannot cor
rectly estimate the worth of his asso-
GATES. The T.: N who wages winning
fight never ur derestimatest the strength
of his opponE ut. This ability to cor
rectly estimate relative values is a
trait to be cultivated not only by
those who W; lid achieve success but
is essential to those who would enjoy
real peace ar happiness.

Cash System the Best.


Many of our local business men arc
now operating on the cash basis, o.
settlement within thirty days.
This may seem hard to some, and
will probably invoke hardship on =
few, but the merchants had to put
such a plan into operation as means
of self-preservation.
The wholesale houses haven't much
sentiment. When they sell mer-

payment promptly, and if the money
is not forthcoming within q short TING
