America" adds the French news paper, needs a large navy for var 1ous reasons. Firstly she has to pro- tect her merchant marine, which even in 1914 was equivalent to two-thfrds of the British mercantile marine Secondly, she has possessions to watch and guard, and thirdly, she has large coast area to patrol both on the Atlantic and on the Pacific Thus she has had to build large ships capable of operating at long distance
 America has a fleet of eighteen dreadnoughts and one hundred big destroyers manoeuvring in the Paci- fic- In June this fleet is to visit various parts of the world for propa- ganda purposes. It will visit South America and South Africa and will carry Old Glory to visit the British dominions of Australia. and New Zealand. What will England think of this little demonstration?

Washington, April 15.-Keepins in step with the cleanup" movement now on in Government circles. the Library Committees of Congress and the inc Arts Commission are prepar- ing an overhauHng of art works in the national capital.
 During the present year it is ex- pected that there will be unveiled or dedicated the Lincoln Memorial Building, the Women's Titanic Me morial, the Francis Asbury Memorial and the statues of Meade, Buchanun. Hamilton and Francis Scott Key.
 All of these are to be located on sites donated by the Government in Washington City. Large gatherings are expected for most of these cere- monies, especially for the dedication of the Francis Asbury Memorial, the site for which was authorized by Con- gress in 1919.
 It is now proposed by Congress that there shall be a closer scrutiny over works of art to be placed in Washington before permission is given. This hace come about through criticism of some of the sta tues and memorials that have been placed Notable among these art specimens that failed to meet the endorsement of art critics was the DuPont statue which was removed and the site occupied by an Admiral DuPont memorial fountain of artis- tic design.

 While we certainly have enough worries over here in Europe and while the Pacific is a long way from us we cannot forget that we have possessions in India and China. which in the event of trouble, might need our protection. Also let us remember that matters even afar off often trouble the peace of the rest of the world The Austro-Serbian Squa.b- bIe in 1914 was enough to entangle 1he rest of the world in a gigantic war.

According to the census of 1921
South Carolina outranks IA states IN
the percentage OF her population be-
tween 5 and 20 years of age attend
ing school. The number of the states
inhabitants between 5 and 20 years
of age when the census was taken in
January, 1920, was 675,152. The
number attending school in this group
was 423, ,74O, or 62.S per cent,
This is in striking contrast with
the corresponding percentage as
shown by the census of ten years ago.
In 1910 only 4S.6 per cent of the
states population between five and
20 years of age was attending school.
This means a net gain of 14.2 per
cent during the decade. This is the
best record shown for any Of the 4S
states, the next being 12.4 per cent
in Louisiana.
This group practically presents the
number of children to be taught in
the commonwealth. The, school age
under our constitution begins on the
Sixth birthday and runs to the 2lst
birthday. .Th ecensus group includes
boys and girls between five and SIX
years of age. These tots ought to pc
in kindergarten and many Of them
would be receiving kindergarten
training but for the age restrictions
of the constitution of 1895.

Fall Flowing.

The writer has recently been be-
tween the plow handles in turning
some sod land for corn and potatoes
next year. Now that ten-ac-e field is
plowed and ready for winter freezes,
to gather winter rains and for the,
tens of thousands of grub worms
turned up to freeze or at least to be
made uncomfortable. These advan-
tages ares well understood but he
could not help but think that he was
glad that some of the clods in some
packed ground would have several
months in which rain and freeze
would vie with each other in break
ing them down before time to plant
a crop there.
Still, after all the big thing is the
preparation this year for next years
crop. 1t is like bank account or old
corn in the crib when the new
crop comes in. It is getting ahead of
the game, or in the game. With just
a two-horse plow and the feeding to
do it is the putting behind us of sew
en- o.. eight days of next years work.
In some Februarys we have no plow-
ing weather and sometimes this is
about as much plowing weather as
we have in March. On one-team
farm this ten acres fall plowingmay
mean almost/a month saved in the
spring, for plowing weather is gen.
orally abundant in the late fall and
is liable to be scarce in February
and March. 1t is worth straining to
the limit to get started at fall plow-
ing, then it will be easier than it has
been not to do it; for the work can
be kept up better clear through the
season.--Southern Agriculturist.

Georgia Raised Melons Class
ed as Luxuries.

Atlanta, Nov. 25.-The Georgia
Bureau of Markets gives some inter-
esting figures in regard to the water
melon crop. Texas is shown to have
devoted $4,000 acres to melon cui-
ture and Georgia came second with
10000 acres.
It requires $4,000 cars to trans
port the melons. to their destinations.
The highest price car was S1,l5O
and the average worth of a car was
$500.
N'If we consider that watermelons
belong somewhat to the luxury class
of good produced from the ground,
the widening demand for them would
indicate that the buying power on the
part of the public during the summer
was not in such dreadful shape after
ALL" declared Lem B. Jackson, di-
rector of the State Market Bureau.
"Of course with the small boy and
the colored brethren, watermelons
do not represent luxury. They are
the sheerest sort of necessities"
