position of Burlington sGpelin-
tendent by Commissioner w. O..
Lane. There was a length dis
cussion over the relative qualiica-
tons of Mr.. Hamilton and of
Prin. E. T. Tracey of Burlington.
The spirited discussion eliminated
in a vote, three members of the
board OF commissioners voting for
Mr.. Hamilton and three for
Prin. Tracey.
The Burlington Free Press Of
Saturday, December 3 has the
following report, which is publish
ed in nart:
Discussion of these various
names became somewhat warm
before the matter was finally
brought to a head by the nomina-
ton of Supt. Hamilton Of Newport
for the position in question, this
nomination being made bv Com
missioner Lane of the sixth ward
and seconded bv Commissioners
Brewer of ward five. Commission
er Kelley of ward four nominated
E. T. Tracy, and this nomination
was seconded by Commissioner
Murphy of ward three. Discussion
broke out again, but finally cul-
minated in the vote by ballot.
Although the ballots were not
made public, the shar~ division of
the board as evidenced bv previous
actions. would indicate that Com
missioners Kelley, Murphy and
Moore cast their votes for Mr..
Tracey while Commissions Lane,
Brewer and Kimball voted for
Supt. Hamilton.
Commissioners Brewer and Lane
had previously expressed their be-
lief in Principal Tracey as a good
schoolman, but considered him
better fitted for the position which
he now holds than for that of SUI
perlntendent of schools. Commits
sioners Kelley and Murphy urged
his election mainly on the grounds
that he is familiar with local con-
ditions and has made good in his
work.
From this list of men, Commits
sloner Lane mentioned two, Supt.
Hamilton of Newport and Supt.
McClelland of Bennington, for
either of whom he said he was
willing to vote for the position.
Commissioner J. P. Murphy of
Ward three read a number of let
tiers giving recommendations of
Earle T. Tracev. written on vari-
Gus occasions in connection with
his work, though not directly ap-
plying to candidacy for the posi-
ton of superintendent of schools.

Russian Orphans Adopted

Paris, Nov. 11-One hundred Rus

Recruited along the frontiers of
Ukrania and Galicia, one of the worst
war torn, devastated countries in
Europe, the youngsters have seen four
offensives and counter offensives roll
over their country, revolutions and
counter revlutions, murder, pillage
arson and death.
In their short span of life they have
looked upon mere horrors than many
who live to ripe old age and their
eyes were sad, their voices subdued
and when partaking of the hearty
meal placed before them at one of the
Paris Orphan asylums, they spoke in
hushed tones and glanced nervously

ROBBING GOVERNMENT
TRAINS is DANGEROUS

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 1.-Robbinl
government trains is a dangerous ant
unremunerative occupation: according
to Joe P. Johnston, post office inspec
tor here in charge Of the Kansas City
district. Mr.. Johnson admits that
registered mail robberies have bcer
in distinct vogue recently, but he in.
sists that they do not really offer the
opportunity to get rich quick that
those who attempt them believe ex.
lists.
Rather, says Mr.. Johnston, they of
fer remarkable opportunity to gel
killed or sent to prison quick. Their
he recites the fates that have over.
taken many mail bandits.
"They all get killed or sent tc
prison in the long rum" he remarks
"and usually it isn't such very long
run, either"
Robbing the mails, the veteran post
office inspector says, probably will bt
less attractive than ever since thu
government has stationed marine
guards on trains carrying valuable
mails, and provided escorts of "devi
dogs" for mail trucks and guards fol
rooms where mail is handled. The
instruction given the marines ar,
very explicit. 1t is guards duty tt
known who is authorized to handle
mail, and to allow no one else Il
handle it. 1t is his duty to know who
is permitted in the room or car where
mail is handled and to permit no ont
else there. 1t is his duty, in case any
one attempts to rob the mails, to take
that person, dead or alive, or be able
to show satisfactory reason why
and the reason needs to be a goot
one.
"Under Secretary Denby's orders,
says Mr.. Johnston, "about the only
reason that is considered valid is thai
the bandit has killed the marine first.
"There has been an epidemic of mai
robberies recently" Mr.. Johnston con
tinued. 81 believe the reason is tina

Make Farm
Self-SuppOrting

Clemson College, Nov. 29.-"Uuder
boil weevil conditions it is considered
extremely important for each farmer
to raise as nearly all of the staple
food and feed crops as possible to
supply all needs of the landlord, the
tenants, and the livestock. A survey
which was made of South Carolina in
1920 reveals the fact that this state
does not produce enough syrup to sup
ply the needs of the rural population
Of the state by something like 3,000,-
600 gallons; that there is deficit Of
wheat of more than 100000 bushels
of hay of over 100000 tons, of hogs
of $4,000 and that we do not have
dairy cattle enough to supply the
needs of the rural population by 240,-
900. 1t was found also that there
were number of counties in the state
which did not produce corn enough to
supply the home needs.
"All of these things can be grown
at home much more cheaply than they
can be purchased from other sections
and producing them should not inter
fere with the production of staple cash
crops but should round out well bal
anced cropping system. On any farm
on which a good rotation is followed
for the prpose of building up the sol
fertility of the land and maintaining 1
system Of diversified agriculture, al
of these crops can be grown economi
cally to good advantage"

A Favorable
Trade Balance"

Announcement from Panama tha,
the trade between the western front
age of South America and the eastern
frontage of the United States formed
larger percentage of tn 1921 busi-
ness of the Panama Camel than that
of the United States with any other
sections Of the world, suggests, says
the Trade Record of The National City
Bank of New York, the wonderful
change which has come over our trade
with South America since the con-
struction of the canal. In 1918, the
value of the trade of the western
frontage of South America with the
entire United States was but $79,-
100000, while in 1921 the trade of
that section of South America with
the United States was 100000.
These gains in our trade with the
Pacific frontage of our neighboring
continent at the south, adds the banks
statement, bring sharply to the at
tention of the commercial world the
remarkable change which has devel-
oped in our South American trade in
recent years. From 1900 up to 1920
the trade of the United States with
South America had shown a continu-
Gus adverse balance" The imports
from that continent were constantly
greater than the exports thereto, but
in the fiscal year 1921 the "balance, y
for the first time in many years,
changed in our favor and in the IL
months ending with June, 1921, our
exports to South America were 3S
million dollars greater than the i'm
ports therefrom, the actual figures
standing: Imports from South Amer
lea, $485 5,250,0O0; exports to South
America, $523, 100000; excess of ex-
ports over imports, $38,2OO,OOO.
The persistency of this adverse
balance" in the pre-war conditions is
not surprising. The United States is
a very large importer of tropical and
sub-tropical foods and also of raw
manufacturing materials, while her
exports are chiefly food, manufactur-
ing materials and manufacturers. AS
South America was a large producer
of coffee, cocoa and other tropical
foods, and also of wool, rubber, cop
per, tin and other manufacturing ma
terials imported by the United States,
it was quite natural that our pur-
chases from that continent should be
heavy, while the fact that South
America did not need our foods or
raw material and had the habit of
buying her manufactures in Europe
kept the value of our sales to that
continent much below that of our pur-
chases therefrom.
With the changes of the war, how
ever, and the reduction = the quantity
of manufactures offered from Europe,
the South Americans made closer ac-
quaintance with our manufactures and
liked them, and also found it advisa-
BILE to buy their coal from us espec-
tally during the period Of coal short
age in the United Kingdom from
which they had drawn most of their
former supplies.
These changed conditions have re-
suited in the general increase in South
Americas demands upon our manu-
factures, and readily suggest the an
swer to the query as to how it happens
that the adverse trade balance
which existed for many years in our
trade with that continent has now
changed to a favorable balance
amounting to 38 million dollars in the
fiscal year 1921.
