Directing Heads For The Blue Stock ing Named For Year. Vi. J. Mac- farlan Editor-ui-Chief. At a meeting of the Presbyterian College student body held during the past week, the retiring staff of The Blue Stocking made recommendations for the directing heads for the ensu ing year. W. J. Macfarlan, of Dar lington, was named as editor-in-chief; Thomas Grafton, of Shanghai, China, as managing editor, and R. V. Sapp, of Rock Hill, as business manager. Those to be associated with these three in the publication of the “week ly" have been named, and the first issue appearing under their manage ment last Saturday afternoon was highly creditable in every respect. The new edito»-in-chief has been connected with The Blue Stocking for the past three years, first as proof reader and later as head of the circu lation department. In both of these capacities he performed his duties ef ficiently and his selection by the stu dent body came in recognition of his excellent work in the past. The managing editor, T. H. Graf ton, has been promoted from athletic editor and in remuneration of his services he was named as Macfarlan’s running : mate in the editorial depart ment. - R. V. Sapp, as business manager, is a bundle of energy and has contribu ted largely to the business end of the paper in the past. In recognition of his labors, he was promoted by his fellow students. The complete staff for the new year is as follows: Editorial staff: W. J. Macfarlan, editor-in-chief; T. H. Grafton, manag ing editor; J. B. Cousar and J. W. Chidsey, associate editors; H. R. Dick son and Neil Stevens, athletic editors; G. L. Cunningham, local editor; I. M. Bagnal, exchange editor; T. F. Wal lace, social editor; A. R. Moore, joke editor; Eddie McCaskill, alumni editor. Business staff: R. V. Sapp, busi ness manager; J. J. Cornwall and G. W. Gilmer, advertising managers; Nall Bright and J. S. McFall, circu lation managers; H. T. Swedenburg and T. LaMotte, proofreaders; J. P. Phillips, assistant circulation mana ger. Bjr Artbar HOW RICH IS AMERICA? 100 LITTLE PIGS. ALSO VASSAR GIRLS. WORE AND LIVE. How much do you think the United States is worth, all together, in thous ands of millions of dollars? According to the Census Bureau, all the property in the United States three years ago, amounted to about $320,803,862,000. That means 320 times one thousand million dollars, with 803 millions to spare. It’s a great deal of money, but you may be sure, that it’s much less than the United States is worth. Properly developed, the State of Texas will be worth more than the total “wealth of the United States’ as now estimated. The Great Trunk Mystery (This week’s short story) It was exactly midnight. He stood under the window, waiting. 'She threw her trunk out First, Then she waited; And waited And waited. (End.) Nobody has the faintest idea what the real wealth of this country amounts to. In ten years the total wealth according to the figures above, has increased more than seventy-two per cent. Give this nation fifty mil lion more inhabitants, intelligent, wil ling to work, and they would raise th^ value of the nation’s- property five hundred per cent in half a generation. A boy sends this information to the United States Agricultural Depart ment. Five years ago, when he was in the public school, he bought a pure bred pig, female, eight weeks old. Since then his pig has added 100 small pigs to the earth’s porcine population. The little boy writes: “She paid for my clothes, three years in high school and gave me some spending money also. I am now in my second year in college and she is still doing the same*” Art- Visitor (being shown through an old Southern home): “That’s a fine por trait. Is it an old master?’’ Guide: “Lordy no. Dat’s the old This boy has joined the “better sires—better stock” campaign, and will work hard to improve the pig breed. If it were possible to improve hu man breed as easily as we improve cattle or swine, civilization would pro gress rapidly. Unfortunately, eugen- ists make little progress. But some thing might be done. That proud mother of 100 little pigs in five years never smoked cigarettes or drank cocktails. And the father or 'athers did not set before their sons the example of bootleg law breaking and contempt for the constitution. COLLINS STILL ALIVEJN CAVE “Breathing” Sounds Heard Through Test.'- Hopes High That He Will Be Reached In Few Hours. Cave City, Ky., Feb. 11.—Rescuers early today believed they were only a few feet from a sand strata or tun nel into which they can dig their way to Floyd Collins, the imprisoned cave man, in a short time. A small cleft around the 40-foot mark was too nar row to pursue and digging straight through the bottom of the rescue shaft: is the program. Several hours digging will be re quired to reach the soft strata pre viously indicated between 40 and 45 feet below the surface by the dia mond drill and along which the rescu ers will work their way into Collins’ cave. Small Fumes Cave City, Ky., Feb. 10.^—Strong fumes of banana oil tonight came through the bottom of the rescue shaft boring downward to Floyd Col lin’s prison and officials in charge of the work had high hopes of finding a tunnel or crevice through which they might reach the imprisoned man by dawn tomorrow. The shaft tonight at 8 o’clock was something over 40 feet, according to unofficial estimates. The banana oil was sprayed down the original Sand cave tunnel Saturday night, and the geologists and mining experts search ed caves in the vicinity for scent lad en air but without avail. There has been a noticeable down draft in the tunnel despite the rock slide which prevented rescuers from further at tempts of rescue in that manner since early Thursday. Further tests with the amplifica tion- devices attached to the electric light wire leading down to Collins, late today gave what the physicians here asserted was absolutely proof that Collins still is alive. A series of raspy noises, interrupt ed the regular faint rattle in the head phones indicating, the physicians de clared, that Collins was coughing or moving about.

C Canada is growing rapidly. Up here they welcome good immigrants, lere we discourage immigration. What is more important even than immigration is human happiness and independence. Canadians attend to that. In Canada 92 per cent of farm ers own their own farms. In the Jnited States, only 62 per cent own heir land, the others are tenants pay ing rent. * The nation in which those that cul tivate the land own the land on which they live grow in strength. The pow er of France is due largely to the fact that Frenchmen own their land. That small country has more than six million land owners, a great improve ment on the days of monarchy, when a handful of nobles, ecclesiastics and royal princes were the land owners.

Perhaps the habit of hard work hasn’t got as firm a hold on them as it has on him. Our life depends on the glands. Our happiness depends on habit.
