"It is of great moment to South

talking it over with views and inter-
views the other day. Conservation
of resources and Utilization of more

it and with brains and information
sufficient to make it plain to the peo-
pie might sweep things in the next

probably GO on in the old way, sup
pose, but, Lord! what an opportuni-
ty for service The people have made
the game so that poor man no mat
ter what his ability, cannot play it;
and they suffer the consequences. A
destructive fight means nothing and
gets nowhere. South Carolina has
vast resources, were they utilized; {;
and they can be utilized. Outside
capital can be brought into develop
them and people with the capital.
As it is, our people cannot lift their
eyes above graft, and the small
loaves and fishes Of political maneu-
vering. Why have not the lumber
mills and timber owners paid taxes
on their stumpage (standing timber)
They have cut over billion feet for
twenty-three years annually. Why
are we getting nothing out Of our
marine resources. Why are ten to
twelve million acres Of good land
left idle. What are we doing to save
our forests? a former acreage of g.

TIMELY HINTS BY sEfLIFFE
illinois State Adjutant Offers Eleven
Commandments Which He Has
Found Useful.

Eleven commandments in reverse
English" have been found useful by
William @. Setliffe, state adjutant of
the American Legion in Illinois, in
building up the Legion's program for
that state. They are as follows:
1. Don't attend meetings if it rains.
You might get your feet wet, and you
are not in the physical condition you
were at the environments, or at Brest.
2. Don't think of going if it is a
warm moonlight night. There are lots
Of other things you could do that sort
Of a night. FIR instance-Oh, roll
your own idea.
3. If you should attend meeting,
find fault with everything that's go
ing on. If your officers are showing
pep, demand to know in open meeting
what political offices they intend run
ming for.
A. Never accept an office in the post.
Most offices have duties connected
with them, and it is much easier to
criticize the way the other fellow is
trying to handle the job.
s. Get sore at the organization If you
are not appointed on a committee.
6. If you are appointed, don't both
err about attending the committee
meetings. They often are bore.
Z. During discussion of a motion
keep still. After it has passed, tell
some one why they should have voted
1t down.
8. Forget to pay your dues. Inc
post can get along awhile longer with
out your contribution.
8. Don't try to get new members.
George will do it.
10. Don't do any work on post af-
fairs, or any more than Is absolutely
necessary When other members roll
up their sleeves and give unselfishly
of their time and ability to help things
along, get up on your hind legs and
howl that the post is being run by
clique.
II. Remember, you owe no duty or
obligation to a sick or disabled buddy
your own personal comfort comes
first

The cabinet of president Harding-if
the Associated Press list suffers no modi-
fcation-deserves shigh rank. 1t may
have its mistakes, BUT in its larger aspects
it cannot fail to hpress the country as
one of exceptional strength. Hoover and
DENLY are great additions, among the
latest selections. Our own John w.
Weeks, whom we SHOULD have preferred to
see in the treasury, will prove wise
counsellor and a Substantial contributor
to the Presidents policies. Henry Wal
lace of Iowa, the foremost agricultural
editor in the coudtry, is an admirable
choice. Hughes possesses independence
and vigor to a marked degree, and a
reputation that Ca1ies weight to his de-
cisions, The appari int purpose of the new
President to turn tie leadership in inter
national relations pvcr to him is alto
gether wise. Mr.. harding said so much
during the campaign, in speeches often
overlapping, if nof conflicting, that the
advantages of man ready to start with
a clean slate appears very large.
Here is great cabinet. And in the
