A GIFT THAT CAME BACK

A country merchant visited the
nearest city to purchase goods. He
bought cheap but snowy cake plate
for which he paid a dollar. On
reaching home he put on it a label
marked "S5" and made a present of
it to Methodist preacher, whose
church his family attended.
The minister took the package
home, after thanking the donor; but
the next day he brought the plate,
with the label attached, back to the
merchant, and said to him: "I am
too poor in this worlds goods to af-
fod to display so rvaluable a plate
on my table, and if you have no OBJ
lection I should like to return it, and
take SIS worth of groceries instead.
The merchant could do nothing but
assent to so reasonable a PROPOSE
ton.

SEA BABIES

Last year was a record year fol
the number of babies born at sea
according to compilation made by q
London newspaper. Most of the 27G
born in vessels sailing to and from
England last year were born in the
third class. 1t is held lucky for a
child to be born at sea and some
first class passengers took the trip on
purpose so that their child would be
born on the ocean.
When a child is born in the steer
age collection is generally taken
up for it and this ranges from $500
up, all depending on the passenger
list and the class of boat the infant
has picked out for his entry into the
world.

Bulk of sales" quotations appear

er who attempts to keep, himself in

present-day market report would not

If the farmer confines his attention

weight in the market receipts, he Is
almost sure to form a wrong opinion
Of the actual market conditions, say
market specialists of the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
May Vary From Day to Day.
Bulk of sales figures should always
be studied in conjunction with the
quotations on grades which are based
on weight and quality. The bulk of
sales figures may vary widely from
day to day without indicating that the
market is unstable. This situation
frequently arises from a limited trade,
in low-grade hogs on the same day
that high-grade animals are finding.
ready sale. The bulk of sales quota
tion for such aetlay will reach rela-
lively high figure. On the following
day q larger number of low-grade ami
mails may be included in the sales and
the higher grades neglected, with the
result that the bulk Of sales quota
tions will be far below that of the
preceding report. On sessions when
the average quality of the animals Of
fered is low the bulk of sales report
will reflect this condition, and the
farmer who has animals ready for
shipment may be misled as to the
actual state of affairs, unless he takes
into account the other factors which
have an important bearing. Because
the bulk of sales report from one mar
ket is much lower than that from an
other city he may decide to ship his
product to the market which appears
to offer the highest prices. AS a, mat
ter of fact, for the grade that he has
to offer, the market quoting the lower
bulk figures may offer the higher price
to him.. 1t is undoubtedly true that
country buyers often take advantage
of low bulk of sales reports to depress,
purchasing prices in their localities.

Prepare Early for the Potato
Crop.

In the South early preparation for
the Irish potato crop is impoi tant.
In case of the first crop everything
should be gotten ready so that it can
be planted Just as soon as the proper
time comes and the ground is right.
To have, then to plow and prepare
the land, may reduce yield half. A
rain may intervene and planting may
be delayed three or four weeks:
Where practical, the land should
be manured and plowed before
Christmas so that all that will be
needed in spring will be to harrow,
disk, roll and plant. 1t will have fur
ther advantage in fastening the de-
cay of the manure and the sod that is
turned under so that the potatoes
will get greater benefit from the
same. Plant early so that the crop
will have made its growth and formed
most of the tubers before the hot
weather of summer hits it.
In case of the second crop also
early ,forethought and preparation
are very important. Moisture must
be secured if the crop is to be sue
cess. This is best assured by blowing
the land at least a month ahead of
TIME and keeping it fallow. A Grim
son clover or rye crop turned under
in May or early in June in some sec
tions may well precede the potato
crop. The land will then. have a
month OF more to be narrowed and
the soil fined while it gathers miois-
ture from the rains. This kind of
preparation with good seed makes the
second crop success nearly any
season.-Southern Agriculturist.

New State Taxes to be
Advocated.

A one per cent tax on gasoline,
one per cent sales tax, in lieu of
other state taxes, an occupation tax
and other license taxes, are advocat-
ed by the state tax commission, in a
statement issued today. Such taxes
would eliminate entirely all state
property taxes on property, county
and local assessments, according to
the tax commission.
]. P. Derham, of the tax cohnmis-
sion, in speaking of the situation,
stated that he feels, as do other peo-
pie of the state, that there should be
tax reforms; that the tax burden, as
it exists today, is bearing down I in
the wrong way; that there should be
a remedy, he said, lies in providing
new sources of revenue. The taxes
on gasoline, sales, occupations of va
rious kinds, and other assets not now
being taxed, will be advocated before
the 1922 legislature which meets in
January.
eff additional sources of revenue,
such as these, were provided" Mr..
Derham stated, sit would make pos.
|sible the elimination entirely of the
present state tax levy on real and
personal property. The burden on
the small home owner would be
|lightened.'
The United States government is
not supported by any property tax
but by special taxes. A comparison
of the two tax systems reveals that
the state burden is infnitesimal
compared with the federal govern
mental cost. In 1920 the federal gov.
ernment in South Carolina cost
1928 per capita, less than one pei
cent Of the federal taxation"
"But after all, ssr. Derham said
"the states tax burden is the small
est part of the taxes paid in South
Carolina. BY far the largest portion

Entangling Alliances.

After practically pledging the
United States to aid France, in case
she is ever attacked again by her an
cient German foe, Secretary Charles
Evans Hughes, in an impassioned ad-
dress, we are told turned to face L.
100 persons at the disarmament con-
ference and, with uplifted hands, de-
clared: "There is no moral isolation
for this country when liberty and
justice is attacked"
We imagine Henry Cabot Lodge
sat very still when that declaration
was made by the chief of the Ameri-
can delegation. 1t has nbt been long
since the Senator from Massachu-
setts headed blow that killed the
Versailles peace pact so far as this
country was concerned. And what
was the chief reason for this vicious
attack on that pact, except that it
entailed this country to enter a war
on foreign soil if'war came?
: We suppose that Secretary Hughes
meant something when he spoke of
defense alliances and practically
pledged the support of the United
States to France if she should ever
need such support. We can not and
do not concede that the qualifying
word "moraP' destroys the interna-
tional meaning of the Hughes SEN
tence. Certainly the Secretary Of
State did not mean to split hairs by
declaring that if France should be at
tackled by Germany at some time in
the future, this country would be sor-
ry for France, but would stand by
and see France destroyed as it would

.ome to it's aid when it did.
Mr.. Hughes pledges this country to
he extent of the power and influence
# the Harding administration to go
20 the aid of France if she shall be
attacked during the next three years.
Outside of that period he can go no
further. If this promise is not an en-
angling alliance we do not know
what an entangling alliance is, and
yet the Republican party, with NAL
ice aforethought defeated the Ver-
sailles treaty because a compact with
other nations for mutual defense
would be an entangling alliance. The
treaty to that effect negotiated by
Premier Clemenceau and President
Wilson was defeated because this ma
ton turned its back ON it.
This left France only such protec-
ton as it can get under the League
of Nations. Everybody knows that.
the League of Nations was dis
tressfully weakened by the fact that
this country refused, through the
senateS to back up the treaty nego-
tiated by the President of this coun-
try. Now another administration prac
tically agrees to the same entangle-
ment. Can this be the same Repub-
lican party that rode into power on
that isspe, facing about and entering
the Wilson garden by the back door?
If it isn't what is the distinguished
head of the American delegation
talking about, anyway?-Columbia

Shows Quality and Grades.

ShS"o NSohsJ U'3 ShSeSSs
To be of practical use to the farmer,
the bulk Of sales quotations must be
considered With the knowledge Of what
is being offered for hogs of various
grades and qualities. Studied in this
way the bulk of sales reports are Of
material value, for they show the quail
ity and grades that make up the prin-
cipal supply at any market for any
period. Bulk quotations also give q
more lucid idea of general trade con-
ditions on those sessions of the mar
ket when the values from the opening
to the closing vary widely.
The clarifcation and standardiza-
ton of market reports and classifica-
tions throughout the whole country is
one of the big tasks on which the bu-
reau of markets, United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, is working.
When this has been accomplished and
the livestock trade begins to grade its
receipts with reasonable uniformity
the need for bulk of sales quotations
will not be nearly so great as at
present.
