For instance, here is what Paul Brown, editor of The St. Louis Republic, has to say of the movement: "Thousands of American cities and towns have taken up the National 'Clean Up and Paint Up* campaign that originated in St. Louis/^hree sea sons ago. It has been indorsed by thousands of civic, commercial and women's organizations all over the nation. The cities that have made themselves a part of the movement are cleaner and better cities because of it The Republic aided in launch ing the initial campaign and is glad to know that " the Federation of Women's Clobs is planning a general JLtOuis campaign for this spring. This will aid in making 'St. Louis the Healthiest City/ for paint is the great preservative and a powerful aid in sanitation.. Add to beauty and economy the fact that paint has a sanitary v^lue, andT ttie ?, arguments apply with added force to the big cities.

The Governor talked on education, agriculture and law enforcement, pre facing his remarks with the statement that "enforcement of law had to he re stored In South Carolina, and It had to he regarded before we could make any substantial^ progress along any line." This remark drew cheers. The (Jovernor referred to the pitiful stand of the state In the education column of the (dates today, hut spoke with ap preciation ef the awakening of the peo pie to the great subject of education and their determination to have uni versal education. The sjieaker said this was an age of transition and that South Carolina was on the eve of great progress along educational lines, and predicted that the "shame of Illiteracy" would soon he wiped out.. The (Jov ernor referred to the necessity of an educated and intelligent citizenship with the spread of democracy, lie de nlored the apparent tendency of too much dependency on the Government to take earo of all troubles and urged the education of the cltlssen to rely on his own endeavors. The (Jovernment. said the speaker, should be the leaders of the people, but the people should not rtiid on the Government for every thing, referring to the clamoring of the ?>eople last fall when the European war tlrst came on. lie congratulated the oeople on the way they had borne their trials and had come out with confi dence firmly established, and said it vas a vindication of the American ays tem of government. Commissioners E. J. Watson' followed 'lie Governor and he was Introduced as the man whom we are all proud of and who stands head and shoulders above the other agricultural commis sioners of the country," Col. Watson was, received with cheers and at once launched Into his attack oil the "rocks of ignorance." He said that as Gov ernor Manning was concerned with the enforcement of the criminal laws so he had preached enforcement of the eco nomic laws. He said had the ]>eople been educated "there would not have been the theoretics and the dlsterlcs of last fall" and he urged the people to get back to the first principles of agri culture. The commissioner of agrlcul ture told In bold fashion and without mincing words the curse of the one crop system of cotton and he hammer ed home the fact that South Carolina farmers sacrificed everything to grow cotton and bought all of their food stuffs and live stock from the West mentioning mules, cattle, canned goods, bread and meats and the other foods for man and beasts. He urged the peo ple to "live at home" and first raise the necessities of life and then plant cotton for a surplus. This condition, he said, would not result In "hard times" If another situation- such as that of last fall came on the country. Cob- Watson urged the building of good roads and the "getting out of the mud," and fcaid the roads ought to be built by the stato. Ho mentioned the soil inoeulatlon now sold to farmers by his department at cost, and stressed the need If soil building; and the plant ing of leguminous crops. Col. Watson referred to the rej?orted secret organi zation of farmers as "a miserable or ganisation from whom I would never ask a reward." Col. Watson was given hearty applause and presented with roses. At the conclusion of the speaking the I>eople crowded to the platform and shook hands with Governor Manning and Ool. Watson. The Governor ha<l I>een taken to Leesviile from Columbia fn an automobile with former Senator Crosson and Representative W. M. Oxner, and he returned home in tlif car with Commissioner Watsoi^. ? ... .

He was delighted with the trip but says that he will not likely take another one soon. They landed in Bor deaux nad stayed there long enough! to unload their stock. He saw crowds! of soldiers and the city appeared- to be 1 well fortified but he heard very little talk of the war. Of course he said he could not tell 'what the Frenchwem talking about as he talked . United State* and they did not. Their ship left Newport News with 1125 head of horses but 18 of them died before, they reached their destination.

VThero are two forms of iwison used for killing tho potato bug," says l'rof Conrad I. "Tho best Is arsonato of load. Paris green Is a I ho oxtonstvoly used. Arsonato of load Is purchased In two forms, imstc and'pow<lor. Tho powder Is recommended for tho rea Hon that It Is moro easily handled, can not freeze and cannot dry up. For largo areas this |>owdct' Is used at the rate ??f I lb to 50 gallons of water. In making up arsenate of lead or l'arls ?green solutions always stir tho poison with a little water to the thickness of white w ash before ,it Is added to the Sulk of water. Paris groou is made ?p In the same way as arsenate of 'cad,, except that the rate Is 1-4 lb, of Parts green to 50 gallons of water."

This can bo ae-.J ?ompllshed by shaking a lump of quick 'mo with a little warm water and add ?ig It to the pall of spray. Arsenate of lead powder or l'arls reen may be dusted. For the family warden it can be duated through a mislln or cheese cloth sack or through n old tomato can with a number of mall holes punched In the bottom, r^ie best time to dust in this way Is n the morning when dew Is on, he "auso then it sticks better. Arsenate >f lead may be dusted alone without njury and for young tomatoes should >o dusted at the rate of about 1 to 2 'bs. to the acre. If one seems to be Islng too mut'h of It and has trouble, It can be mixed one-half Its weight ritli air-slaked lime and dilated liber ally. V. To dust Ivarls green, add a tea ?q?oonful of l'arls green to a quart of air-slaked lime and mix thoroughly ?ihd then dust on plants in the morn ing while the (lew Is yet on them. Where one desires to spray the pow der any kind of spray pump with a fine nozzle Is satisfactory, Some peo: ?)le apply the spray by means of a ?vldsk broom and still others with pine brush tied together.
