SECRETARY MELONS WARN.

Secretary Mellon, N stating his
objections to the proposed soldier
bonus legislation, merely said
what all well-informed senators
and representatives know but
what few Of them have had the
courage to admit.
AS guardian Of the United
States Treasury, and tie man who
will face the task Of finding the
wherewithal to take care CT the
bonus if it is voted, and Of the IL
nancial confusion resulting there
from, Secretary Mellon has a reco-
gnized right to speak, and should
know what he is speaking about.
He says, in his warning to Con
gress and the public the financia.
consequences of the pending bill:
ats direct consequences are ir-
scapable. It would involve grave
dangers of renewed initiation, IN
creased commodity prices ana un-
settled business conditions.
The result would be serious in
jury and loss to the whole com
munity, and in the long run ever
toe veterans themselves would
lose far more than they would gain.
l cannot bring myself to believe
that this would be adjusted COM
pensation for service that was
performed as the highest duty Of
citizenship ard sacrifice that can
never be measured n terms Of
money"
This has been said many times
before, by many people, bat seld-
ON so impressiveiy. Congress may
we'll hesitate, at least as far as the
,, cash part OF the bonus measure is
concerned. AS for the public, this
is the time for it to express It's
real convictions on the subject, if
it has any.

A MOTHERS CAMP.

Four mothers who had gone to
Y. W. C. A. girls camp on visit
ors' day, to see how their 1o-year
old daughters were getting along,
were more than delighted with
what they found. The camp was
situated on hill top overlooking a
pretty lake with small but excel
lent bathing beach. The tent were
pitched in grove Of fine old
trees. The mess tent and cook
house were off to one SIDE. There
was shade enough for comfort IN
the hot weather without shutting
out any of the wholesome sunshine
and breeze.
The girls were living under a
mild military regime beginning
with the quick dip in the lake at
tbs in the morning and going
through the day with we'll balanced
periods of work and play, exercise
and quiet.
The mothers approved of course.
Then one of them sighed deeply.
''Pd give a good deal for a chance
like this. ! wish some one would
organize q: smothers'; camp where

| It is happy thought. When
mothers go to camp it, is usually
to look after the supplies and keep
things running smoothly so that
father and the children can fish or
hike or frolic to their hearts con-
tent. Won't someone please start
camps for mothers exclusively?

9aNa women are taking increas-
sssng advantage of the opportunities
presented right on the farm for
increasing their personal incomes.
Ia this cutreaching the home dem
onstration agents sent out by the
Department Of Agriculture are
proving to be great help.
One woman raised garlic and
sold 1900 pounds at 80 cents a
pound. Another manages her own
rice fields. A third sold 1885
worth of hogs and invested the
money in milk COWS. She expects
to make more than she did with
the hogs. Butter and eggs no
longer provide a little pin money,
but are the sources Of considerable
incomes. Nor does this list come
sanywhere near covering the field.
It is said that the recent indus
trial experience viii send many
people mack to the farm. The
,.wornen should be eager for this.
The country offers more opportun-
ity to the plain housewife with
little outside training than the city.
II is a better place, schools includ-
ed. in most cases, in which to bring
up her children, and there is a
wholesome and friendly social at
mosphere unknown to the average

The hot weather and the price

temperature of a number of Sum
ter citizens. When they read the
prices quoted by ice dealers in 9th

WHY the prices current IN Sumter

towns It is asserted but the
figures have not been officially OH
tanned to confirm the statement,
that wholesale price of ice fixed
BY The two ice factories-the
city plant and the Sumter Ice and
Fuel company not excessive
and that the retail! dealers could
shave the price 10 consumers 1T
tie and still make a reasona bic
profit. Be thai rs it may. the cost
OF manufacturing ice row cannot
be anything approximating the
cost (; year ago when labor was
more th:ta double what it is now
when coal WIS costing seven &c
eight dollars at the mines and
when prac icallv every other item
entering into the manufacturing .
cost Of ice WAS much higher than
at present This being indisput-
ably true. it does seem that the
wholesale and retail price of ice
should be reduced so as to give
the consuming public some little
benefit OF the reduced cost OF man
Ufaciure What IS the use o:
having a municipality owned ice
plant if Sumter people are to pay
more for ice than people living in
