Chas. G. Dawes, named by Pres
Harding to arrange national budget
and see if he can stop a few fin
ancial leaks, has started in to plug
up one hole through which the tax
payers of this country have long
watched their money flow. He is
going to stop printing of millions of
dollars worth of useless government
reports and pamphlets. Every tax
payer in America will be glad of this
for every one realizes that vast
amount of money is wasted by tho
government printing office. In fact
it is conceded that of the seven OF
more carloads of printed matter leav
ing the Office daily, not more than 8
sack full of it is read. And another
place where Dawes could save ths
government money and at the same
time show spirit of fairness to the
printers and publishers of this coun-
try would be to eliminate the en-
yelope- printing practice. The gov
eminent has no more business print.

Gen. Dawes, director of the FEEDER

go and that hereafter only common
twine will be used. In cutting out
the red tape, Director Dawes also
aims to cut out the inneficiency

new to governmental departments.
The director also proposes that the

Laurens Fight
ing w eeyil
Farmers Planting Large Acre
age in Small Grain and
Clover

Clemson College. Nov. 19.-Lau-
rcns county farmers under the Lead
ershio oc J. F.. Trcvathan. county
agent. have been conducting a
campaign against the boil wee7H
during the past several weeks,
which will result effectively In
1922. Meetings have been held III
school houses all over. the county
at which there were discussions
concerning the necessity of plowing
under stalks and sowing winter
cover crops as effective steps in
fighting the boil weeyil. A number
Of articles to the same effect We're
published in the newspapers OF the
county to aid in the campaign.
In addition to the campaign led
by Mr.. Trevathan, good results
have come from the assistance Of
Mayor Franks of Laurens, who has
been selling wheat at cost and has
offered a prize of $125.0O for the
highest yield of wheat in the coun-
ty, his purpose being to encourage
the growing of wheat for home
consumption.
The farmers have responded to
the campaign in a most satisfactory
way, according to reports from the
county agent. More cotton stalks
are being plowed under than has
been the custom, and the amount
of rye. oats, clover, and vetch seed
sold in the county for sowing IS
ft,STfy duubte~ the normal saies- ftt
past seasons.
In the matter Of planting wheat
the result has been very striking.
Over 5000 bushels of wheat will
be planted in the county this fall,
which is an increase of 1000 per
cent over the usual amount of
wheat planted.
These figures show that the
Laurens farmers are preparing to
attack the boil weevil in very vi
tai spot and at an opportune time.
- Various other counties are car
rying on campaigns in the same big
fight.

Opinion growing out of these ques-

armed could with its present ma
chinery raise an army Of six OF

that 250,0N0 Germans were daily

The Baron said he had no objection
to accepting the Chinese proposals
in principle for that purpose.
1t is understood that an import
ant reason why Japan has asked for
more time to study the Chinese
document is that the plenlpoten-
tiaries at Washington are actively
engaged in communicating with
the home government at Tokyo. 1t
is almost certain, in the opinion
of japanese here, that the vital
matters raised in the Chinese pro-
posals will oe subject to serious de-
liberation by such japanese in
stitutionS as the Genero. Or Elder
Statesmen, and the prlvy council, as
well as the cabinet. On such
program also it is believed probable
that the leaders Of the naval and
army groups would desire an op-
portunity to express their views.

for a mass meeting tonight which
was to have resulted in a round
