A Bargain

Did you ever stop and think of the
elasticity of your legion dues and what
bargain they really are?
Well, if you haven't, lamp your
port ear and listen to this line min
ute, then if you think your fifty cents
month doesn't get worked overtime
and it isn't the biggest bargain you
are getting in this day of cut prices,
come up to the next meeting and tell
your comrades that you don't think
you are getting value received. Insist
upon being heard. That is your divine
right at American Legion meeting
whether anybody else likes it or not.
The why and wherefore of your dues
goes something like this: One dollar
annually to the national organization
and one dollar to the state organiza-
ton. Two bucks of the biggest bar
gain you ever saw, buddie, they really
never quit ringing, makes noise like
a whole mess kit full of sous.
How about the money that's used in
the campaign for the care of the dis
abled, the fight for adjusted COM
pensation, the census of buddies in
hospitals, the Americanism program
and dozen of other big things that
are under way. Yes, and the Ameri-
can Legion Weekly, fifty-two issues a
year of your own magazine with all
the dope you want to know.
All right, two dollars accounted for,
four little bucks still on top.
Ten cents goes to the county orga-
nization, the county organization is
what we call the missing link, now if a
missing link isn't worth ten cents,
what is? Darwin would have added a
good many cyphers to 10 for miss
ing link, and it costs that much at any
circus or fair to see one, so you might
as well keep that dime at home for
the country's missing link.
Three dollars and ninety cents to ac-
count for-that poor three-ninety
hasn't thing to do but, pay rent, pay
a janitor, lights, fuel, put on parties
and feeds, remembrances for sick bud
dies, cards to try and get you out
to meetings, stationery, stamps
for that, hope.
Two meetings month, one meeting
a month with party or feed tackled
on for good measure. Oh, yes, what is
left the officers get for salary. It's
a pretty nice salary but it's always on
the wrong side of the ledger.
Are you doing your part in support
ink your post? Are you contributing
your share toward the big things the
Legion is undertaking in your COM
munity, in your state, and in the ma
ton? But if you haven't paid your
dues, don't be surprised if you find the
doors closed some day.
The man who neglects to pay his
dues is not doing his part in support
ing his post and the Legion, and he
cannot be continued as member.
Get square with your finance off,
cer-be "has paid" not "hasn't
paid" Put your money to working
overtime, not only for your own good
but for the good of all veterans.

VERY SMALL AMOUNT
AVAILABLE IN BILL

Washington, Feb. 26.-Without
the measure as framed by the house
the senate tonight passed the annual
rivers and harbors appropriation
bill, carrying s15,OOo,OOO of new
appropriations and authority for the
expenditure of. SAT, 100000 in un-
expended balances during the next
fiscal year. The bill allows $780,
600 more than carried for the pre-
sent year.
Southern senators attacked the
appropriation as too small for the
needed improvements and Senator
Harrison, Democart, Mississippi,
said he almost spurned it," but he
lost on roll call, A to 18, when he
attempted to raise the figure to
100000. Chairman Jones of the
commerce committee, criticizing the
house budget rules said he did not
propose to take any more bills into
"a conference where the senate has
three conferences and the house
435."
Chairman Jones insisted the mea-
sure be sent to the president with
out alteration, and Senator Reed,
Democrat, Missouri, lost on another
vote, 16 to AZ, trying TO make the
appropriations $2s,ooOo00. Chair
man Jones announced however, that
he expected another river and har-
bors bill would be brought out at
the special session. The present
measure allows the army engineers
discretion in distributing the funds
and specifies no localities for ex-
penditure.

KENTUCKY LAWS ON
WAREHOUSE LIUQOR
ARE HELD INVALID

Washington, Feb. 28.--Kentucky
laws levying special tax on liquors
withdrawn from bonded warehouses
were held invalid today by the
supreme court. Several millions OF
dollars in taxes already collected by
the state were involved.
The court sustained lower courts
which had granted an injunction to
the Kentucky Distilleries and Ware.
house Company and the ]. and A
Fribert Company preventing inter.
ference by the state authorities to
Withdrawals of liquor in which the
special tax had not been paid.
The supreme court upheld DEGREES
Of the federal district court for the
eastern Kentucky district that the
law under which the taxes were col.
lected violated both the state and
federal constitutions.
The state argued that there was
no competition in the liquor business
now and that the tax therefore
could not be considered confsca-
tory.

THE VALUE OF EDUCATION
from the indianapolis News.

From the indianapolis News.
Figures presented by an Indian
apolis bank show that of five million
children with no schooling, thirty-one
attain distinction. Of thirty three
million with elementary schooling the
number to gain distinction is 808.
Two million, with high school edu-
cation, show distinction gained by
1,245. Out of one million who 60
through college, 5,768 become dis
tinguished in some walk of life.
Less than l per cent of the men in
America are college bred, yet this
small percentage has furnished SIS per
cent of the American presidents, 81
per cent of the vice-presidents, 62 per
cent of the secretaries of state, so per
cent of the secretaries of the treasury
62 per cent of the attorneys general,
At per cent, of the speakers of the
house and SO per cent of the supreme
court justices.
With a college education the child
has one chance in 173, with a high
school education one chance in 1905
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1921-03-04

with elementary schooling alone one
chance in 40,841 and with no school
ing ore chance in 1920.
The banks object in preenting
such statistics is to create new bust
ness. 1t seeks parents who are will
ing to start an educational account
for their children, arguing that unless
there is systematic saving no fund
will be available for higher education
when the time comes for it.
The bank might have shown by its
own figures that the educated man,
being more successful than his fellows
has money to deposit in banking in
st tutions. The further down in the
educat onal scale the less likelihood
there is of finding thrift or money
with which to open banks accounts
To one college failure there are thou
sands of those who had no oppor-
tunity to make fair fight for success
Education is not an experiment; it is
an investment that nearly always
pays big dividends.

MCUMBER ESTIMATES
GIVES BIG FIGURES

Washington, Mar. 1.-Adjusted
compensation for former service
men as PROPOSED in the amended
house bill formally presented today
to the senate will cost between ST.
5OO,OO0,000 and $5,250,000,000.
Senator MeCunnber, Republican,
North Dakota, who has charge of
the measure estimated in his report
to the senate.
Senator McCumber said the in
terest on war loans to the allies
would "more than take care of the
obligations created by the bill and
without any increase in taxes" He
expressed the hope that the bill
Nigh be passed at this session but
said postponement would not be i'm
portant as the plans of compensa-
tion proposed would not become eff
fective until January /, 1928.
Senator Jones of New Mexico,
Democratic member of the finance
committee, tonight introduced three
amendments to the bill and urged
its immediate passage as an "emer-
gency measure" His amendment
proposed appropriations of $685.
for vocational training and
for home and farm
lands. He also offered an amend
ment authorizing service men to
take up stock grazing homesteads of
1 ,280 acres.
Senator Jones later gave notice
that he would endeavor tomorrow to
get the bill before the senate by dis
placing all other business.

UNABLE TO SHUT MOUTH;
MAN SUES FOR DAMAGES

Atlanta, Mar. LIN Pierce coun-
ty, according to information re-
,ceived here from Blackshear, a man
is pressing a damage suit against
the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad
Company on the novel ground that
he has been so injured by the rail
road that he is unable to shut his
mouth.
The case, which is for $4,000,
filed by R. R. Arnold, ndeed Atlanta
lawyer charges that while George
w. Waters was crossing the railroad
tracks in his automobile, he was
struck by a passing train, his auto
mobile completely demolished and
his face was so completely "caved
in" by the accident, that his upper
and lower jaws, will never again
meet, and therefore, he cannot close
his mouth so as to bite or chew any
solid food. He sets up the claim that
not only is his face permanently dis
but he is completely de-
prived of any use whatever of his
teeth because the jawbones are so
displaced the teeth can not be made
to come together at any point.

YOUR FURs

Don't brush wet furs; let them
dry naturally and shake out when
dry.
Water does not harm furs.
Whipping furs is the best way to
get dirt out.
Never cut a fur with scissors; !;
use knife, and on the wrong side,
if you wish to change or mend the
garment.

not merely for emergencies. Every
farmer should study the question Of
acreage and should work out some
system of>crop rotation suited to his
soils and needs. County agents can
be of assistance in recommending
systems of rotation for particular
farms. The following is three year
system which may be changed in
minor ways to suit particular farms
First year: Cotton followed by a
cover crop such as crimson clover or
abbruzzi rye. !
Second year: Corn with cowpeas
or velvet beans.
Third year: Small grains followed
with cowpeas, soy beans, peanuts,
etc.
Sweet Potatoes
1t is the opinion of the extension
service that sweet potatoes as crop
for home consumption and in con-
servative way as a cash crop, should
be included in \ the program for
1921. The South Carolina Sweet Po-
tato Growers association now has
an efficient system of marketing
sweet potatoes in effect in this
state, and the demand for 1921 now
appears to be good.
Land left idle on account of de-
creased cotton acreage should be
planted largely to corn. 1t is one of
the safest crops which can be grown
in South Carolina. The new freight
rate from the corn belt to South
Carolina makes the price of import
ed corn in this state higher than in
any other producing section.
While the very low price of pea
nuts for the past year has been very
discouraging to the grower it should
be remembered that this price is due
to the heavy importation of vege-
table oils from China and Japan,
and that even this decrease in price
is not in as great proportion as the
decline in the price of cotton. Pea
nuts still deserve conservative con-
sideration in the 1921 program.
Where farmers have not been able
to put in a crop of oats it is still
time to plant on good land with a
reasonable chance Of making a fair
crop.
Tobacco growers in this state have
in the past grown this crop with a
view of securing the largest possible
quantity. In view of the surplus of
cheap grades of tobacco not only
from the fields of this country but
from other countries, it is essential
that to plant only such lands in to-
bacco as are known to produce to-
bacco of good quantity and use only
such fertilizers as are known to tend
toward the production of high grade
tobacco.
