As matter of fact, penitentiary

the time because his letter had not yet

By Carter Field

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Pros-
poets for an agreement based on the
Hughes naval armament limitation
program, and not so far short of it
as pessimists may think, seem even
brighter after twenty-four hours of
intensive study by the naval experts
Of the various foreign delegations.
Every one realizes, although the
shock of the sweeping proposals for
scrapping sixty-six battleships tenn
porarily has submerged what really
are more troublesome questions, that
the real dynamite of the conference
-China-has been laid away in cold
storage for the time being.
Chairman Hughes dismissed these
troublesome questions in the closing
sentence of his address yesterday,
an address which has provided SO
many thrills that every one thought
merely Of what he said--not what he
left unsaid. This sentence was: "I
shall not attempt at this time to take
up the other topics which have been
listed up on the tentative aecnda
proposed in anticipation of the con-
ference.Y

Develop Hog Industry

Clemson College, Dec. 2.-Twenty-
seven counties in South Carolina are
not producing sufficient pork to feed
even their rural population, according
to the animal .husbandrymen Of Glenn
CON College, who are urging the con.
servative. development of the hog in
dustry in this state as farm conditions
will justify, as the meat bill is one
of the biggest items in the grocery
bill of the average South Carolina
family. Four hogs averaging $50
pounds each will supply pork for the
average family Of five. The farm
should produce this pork supply.
All feeds for hogs, save possibly a
little tankage, should be home grown.
1t takes approximately ten bushels of
corn and sixty pounds of tankage to
produce a l5O-pound pig. If the aver
age family requires four hogs, then
it will take 40 bushels of corn and 240
pounds of tankage to produce these
hogs. If buttermilk, soy bean pasture,
rape pasture or corn and velvet bean
pasture is available, it will not be
necessary to buy tanage. A splendid
way to fatten hogs is to turn them on
corn and velvet beans and let the hogs
do the harvesting.
Good pastures are absolutely neces-
sary for economical pork production
in South Carolina, and it has been
thoroughly demonstrated that good
pastures will save about two-fifths of
the grain ration. One or two acres of
rape or rye for winter pasture, and ac-
cess to Bermuda pasture for summed,
will produce sufficient grazing for a
brood sow and her little.
Sows are usually bred so that they
will farrow in March and September,
allowing months, 8 weeks and days
for the CESSATION period. 1t is impor-
tant to use only purebred boars, as
this is the most economical way of
improving the herd.
Other facts and suggestions about
the growing Of livestock on the self
supporting farm may be found in Ex-
tension Bulletin 48, Farming Under
Boil Weevil Conditions" which may
be had from county agents or from
the Extension Service, Clemson Col
lege, S. c.

Bankers Do Not Approve

London, Dec. 8.-Suggestions ad-
vanced by certain economic theorists
to stabilize the value of the English
pound at, say Is shillings gold,
thereby reducing the American ex-
change from $4.S6 to new parity
of $3.65 to the pound and creating a
gold premium of 33 percent, do not
meet with the approval of practical
British bankers.
Sir Charles Adds, president of. the
Institute of Bankers, in an inaugural
address to that body, made strong
plea for continued efforts to restore
the gold standard.
He said that a return to pre-war
parity could not be accomplished un-
less new and unexpected initiation
should take place in America with
out a considerable amount of further
defation in Great Britain.
Devaluation proposals, he declared,
were premature, inopportune and in
expedient. He refused to believe
hat the British people "could be in
duced to trample on their monetary
past and to relinquish the dearly
purchased gold standard, which they
believed to be bound up with the
prestige of their national credit and
their supremacy in international fin
ance."
Sir Felix Schuster, another prom
inent banker, observed that in the
last two years Britain had repaid
G2O0, 100000 of foreign debts, S100,-
100000 of which were paid to Am
erica. He thought that the question
of repaying the balance due to Am
erica, if the period of repayment
were spread over 80, 40 or so years,
could be faced with courage. II
Britain showed its firm determina-
ton to get back to the old gold stand
ard, he said, confidence would return
with an unshakable belief Of the
whole world in the pound sterling.
The Financial News, in an editori-
al, compares the process of devalua-
tion to Mark Twain's cigar limit,
which he never exceeded, meeting all
temptations to do so by the simple
expedient of raising the limit.

Labor Conditions in
Parts of Europe

Geneva, Dec. 9.-Some idea of the
misery and primitiveness of agricul-
tural labor conditions in some parts
of Europe was given the Internation-
al Federation of Working Women
during its recent congress here, by
the Italian delegate, Signora Casar-
telli.
She indicated the low standard of
living by suggesting as a program of
improvement four recommendations
That agricultural laborers must not
sleep in stables, that each worker
should have separate bed, that beds
should be aired and rooms heated il
necessary, and that men and women
must have separate quarters under
sanitary conditions.

Music by Wireless

Chicago, Dec. 1.-On long winter
nights when the family gathers round
the fireplace in some isolated, snow
bound farmhouse the members need
not lack entertainment, for the air is
full of music, short stories and gossip,
free to everyone prepared to receive
it.
thousands of amateur wireless op-
orators, experts say, are listening
| nightly to grand opera, bedtime
stories, phonograph and band con-
certs, crop and weather reports and
aerial gossip. Any wireless telegraph
set can, without additional equipment,
pick up the radiophone messages and
concerts.
With the Inauguration of wireless
grand opera by Mary Garden, direc-
tor-general of the Chicago Opera COM
pany, three hours entertainment is
furnished five nights week.
Telephone transmitters over the
stage at the Auditorium Theatre pick
up the opera and transmit it over or
dinary land wires to wireless sta
ton on the roof of a skyscraper sew
eral blocks away, and from there is
sent out broadcast to any one with the
proper equipment to receive it. The
company operating the station MAIN
tains three other broadcasting plants,
one at Pittsburgh, Pa, one at New
ark, N: D., and one at Springfield,
!:ass. TIE program of the Pittsburgh
1T is typical of the others.

story ls read by the sending operator.
- sto! les generally consume about
10 minutes time. Next the weather
Nr.fo -
lowed 6y photograph or band con-
cert: This is the weekday schedule.
On Sunday nights a specially prepared
church sermon is sent.
AS all the stations operate on differ
ent lengths, the amateur receivers can
listen to all, one after another, by
turning small dial on their receiving
sets.
The Chicago opera service is the
most ambitious program of all. At
foO O'Clock, as the audience begins
gathering at the auditorium, the in
struments are tested with phono-
graph concert. A few minutes before
O'Clock the "sender" announces the
opera for the evening, the principal
singers, the conductor, and then gives
brief synopsis of the first act, ex-
planning the stage effects and scenery.
AT the end of each act a similar
synopsis of the next scene is trans
mitted.
In the first test, when Samson and
Delilah was sung, amateur stations
have not only heard the orchestra and
singers, but the clanking of the chains
as Lucien Muratore, as Samson, paced
his prison cell, and the storms of ap-
plause that marked each curtain call.
The sounds were so clear that ampli-
fying devices were unnecessary, ordi-
nary receivers lying on the table at
the receiving points spreading the mu-
sic throughout the room.

Strike Among Field Laborers

San Juan. Porto Rico, Dec. 3.-A
strike among the field laborers of St.
Croix, one of the Virgin Islands,
which has lasted for two months, is
threatening the next sugar crop, ac-
cording to J. L. Curry of that island.
The strike resulted from a decision of
the sugar planters to reduce wages to
4 pre-war basis of so cents Il day for
dy labor. On a piece basis, Mr.. Cur
ry said it was possible for laborer' to
earn from rs cents to $1.25 daily, but
they will not do piece work.
"We have had two bad years for
sugar." said Mr.. Curry. "Unless we
are able to get our planting done by
the end of November there will be no
crop for the coming year"

I>ON. ~, 1cEis
To the Boys and Girls of the United
States:
Our postmaster has asked us to
mail our Christmas parcels THIS
WEEK, for unless we do, Uncle Sans
load may be so heavy the last few
days before Christmas that he won't
be able to deliver all the presents by
Christmas Eve.
The parcels must be we'll wrapped
and tied and addressed plainly in or
der that they may arrive in good con-
dition with their Christmasy appear
ance unspoiled. You can put on your
packages, "Do not open until Christ
mas"
And there must be a number on
your house, and mail receptacle, too,
for if there isn't Santa Claus messen-
ger, your letter carrier may not be
able to find the house where the pres
ent belongs.
There are some other things, too, in
which you can all assist in improving
the mail service and in saving our
great government millions of dollars
a year, that it now wasted because Of
our carelessness yours and mine.
Every day that you put letter in
the mail box 40,000,O00 other letters
are already pushing and amming
through the postal machinery. One
letter a day for each family of five
persons in the United States is given
to Uncle Sam to deliver.
When you send parcel to the post
Office for mailing any day there are
about 100000 other parcels ahead Of
yours passing through the postal hop
per. This is in ordinary days; at
Christmas time it is multiplied many
times.
One family in about every 10 puts a
badly addressed letter in the mail ev-
cry day. This mixes up over 100000
half-addressed letters with the 20,-
100000 fully addressed letters. That
means that the fully addressed letters
must wait on the slow moving poorly
addressed letters just like the larger
boys and girls are delayed by bunch
of "bad kids" tagging along
You boys and girls can help the
postal service and save your father
some money, because he has to help
pay the cost Of searching addresses
on letters and parcels sent out by this
one careless and thoughtless family
in every ten.
First, find out If your family is the
careless one, then bear in mind that
your letters must be handled by skill
full mail distributors standing in post
Offices and on swaying postal cars of
a minute mail trains, often un-
der poor light.
The address on every letter, card, or
package must be correct, complete and
legible including the house number
and name of street, and "From" ad-
dress should be in the upper left hand
corner that the mail will be returned
to you in case it is not delivered. Do
not abbreviate names of States be-

International
Sanitary Congress

Paris, Dec. 5.-The international
Sanitary Congress representing more
than 40 nations has adopted the sug.
gestion of the United States Public
Health Service that plague, yellow
fever and cholera be included among
the socalled international notifiab,c
diseases.
The suggestion was incorporated in
special proviEion of new interna-
tional sanitary convention drawn IN
by the cogress which has just adjourn
ed in Paris. 1t was decided that
smallpox and influenza epidemics
should also be matter of diplomatic
notification whenever they occur in
the various countries.
Another international meeting will
be held in Paris next June when din
lomatic represents ives of virtually al,
the nations of the world will meet to
approve the work of the sanitary Off
GERS. If the suggestion is finally an
proved all nations subscribing to the
convention must notify each other
through diplomatic channels as soon
as the diseases appear in their respec-
tive countries.
The United States was represented
at the recent meeting by Surgeon Gen
eral Rupert Blue of the United States
Public Health Service. He requested
the inclusion of plague, yellow fever
and cholera among the recognized in
tcrnational diseases.
immigration was not discussed, the
theory being that the problem chiefly
concerns the United States and Ar
gentina and these countries are en-
titled to set up their own regulations

that we have determined to ag tate

can get the sum of $4,000 subscribed
to such an enterprise, we belie|e thai
will give a strong enough beginning
and there is no telling just how much
the earnings would amount to after
one or two years. If we can find 1O)
people who will be willing to invest
$50 each in such an enterprise it car
be put into operation. We believe thl
item of freight alone would give n
handsome profit to the local concern.

Suppose we begin now to undertake to

words? What is done should be done
quickly. We have a subscription list

The question of getting sufficient
number of farmers to plant the neces-
sary vegetables to be canned, TO get
proper equipment for canning and for
working out the details, considerable
times will be required. If you arc
willing to go into such a move, willing
to the extent of putting $50 into it,
come in and sign up for $50 of stock
Union County can raise peas, beans,
okra, tomatoes, corn and cabbage as
good as can be raised anywhere. We
are sending out of the county vast
sums of money annually for our sup
ply of canned goods. Why not keep
this money at home? Why not get
ready to feed ourselves, not only in
the summer time, but all the year
round?
We believe a cannery that will es-
tCblish a reputation for quality, anH
will sell to merchants only, can estab.
llsh good business. Who will g.
into this movement with US? We will
subscribe the first $50. No one will
be allowed to subscribe more than $50
