"SAVE THE BABY" CAMPAIGN l'l ins for the observance of the State-wide "S;uc the Baby" Campaign have he >n made in thirty counties of South Carolina according to Dr. D. Lesesno Smith, chairman of the campaign which is being put on by the South Carolina Sunday School Association for Children's Week, April 2 1-May 1st. 'i he aim of the campaign was to roach 10,000 babies, but prospects are that more than 1 ">,000 babies will be rea< h< d. The Campaign is said to have two-fold purposes, enrolling babies on the Cradle Rolls of the Sunday Schools and giving information about i their early training, and second to give their mothers scientific information about tlmir physical care. This campaign is said to be very timely because of these facts issued by the Stat0 iiureau of Child Hygiene: babies under one year of ape died last year in South Carolina Jo per cent of all deaths in South Carolina are of children under five years of ape About one fifth ol dea hs occur duriier the single month of .July and the preat ijercohtupe of th in fr mi cholera iof iilum, which is a preventable disease J BONO f and Our Good MICK IF,, THF, PRINT Carolina. WHAT S THE MATTER WITH W1NTHROP? "It is clear to anyone that discrimination was shown against the one College established and maintained by the Mate lor tne education ot the women of the State. The appropriation Dill just passed carried appropriations directly and indirectly, for approximately $1,400,000 for the three-State colleges for men with an enrollment ot approximately 1,700 student while carrying an appropriation ol' only $:{0S,6D4.(>0 for the one State college for women with an enrollment of approximately 1,100 students. This is tlie treatment of the State Legislature for Winthrop College as summed up by its triends. With no more light than we now have on the subject it would seem that 'he word discrimination is very mild. The State cannot afford to be nig Hardly wiili appropriations for edu-| cation:.1 purposes in any branch, but why it should eat the appropriation on this, the only State college for women below cost of operation, is a bit hard to see. This is a sever,, blow to the public schools of the future as Winthrop trains more teachers than all the other agencies in the State combined. We are kind 'o note that the women of the S ate are organizing and planning an interest inn campaign in behalf of this Slate college.

' I M - I. CONCERNING CO-OPERATIVE MARKETING 2. What Constiutes Marketing The first article of this series stated that the problem which co-operative marketing: by growers is expected to solve is, "How may the grower obtain a larger share of the consumer's dollar?" It would be well now to explain what constitutes marketing of a commodity, as there is much mystification on the subject. Marketing a crop includes all those steps through which a crop is put in passing from the grower to the consumer. There ire a number of these steps. In the first place, the crop or com inodity must be concentrated or assembled into lots of marketable size ind similar grade and quality. Growers frequently sell their crop in a lump, the good with the bad, the total amounting to a small lot of mixed goods. Consumers do not buy this way, however, and therefore somebody must take the crops composed of a mixture of grades from a great many farmers and assemble from them even running lots suitable for supplying thc demands of consumers. Not only must crops be concentrated and graded, but since consumers annot immediately purchase the entire crop as soon as it is harvested, a part of the crop must be warehoused and protected until there is demand for it from consumers. Some farm commodities require only shelter while some require cold storage. Some may be held a short time and some a long nine, a part 01 practically every important crop is warehoused or stored in some way before it is consumed. Most crops also require treatment, processing, manufacturing or some kind of additional handling which enhances tho value, after the grower disposes of it. Transportation is another of the steps in marketing that come between the growing and the consuming of most of our farm crops. Farmers seldom use expert salesmanship in disposing of their crops individually, and consumers seldom buy these crops until after someone has applied expert salesmanship at one or more points on the Journey from the grower to the consumer. Therefore, we may consider that expert salesmanship is one of the most essential steps in marketing. Another important step in marketing is the financing of the movement i of commodities from grower to consumer. Growers ordinarily receive | cash for the commodity when delivered at the first or primary market place. The product may not be put through the necessary processes, reach the merchants' shelves and be finally sold to the consumer in whose possession it disappears from commerce until months afterward. In the meantime somebody has capital invested in lhe cor. modity, and interest must be paid fo? the use of such capital. Hence, financing the movement of a commodity, especially non perish a hie commodities, is one of the important stops in marketing:. Still another step in marketing but one which is of less immediate importance to tho growers because so far removed from them is the final retailing of the commodity after it has been through the other steps. Real Marketing Necettary Summarizing the various steps, we see that marketing crops consists of: ( 1) Concentration or assembling of | the commodity; (2) Grading and I standardizing; (.'{) Warehousing, storing, processing; (4) Transporting; (5) Financing; ((5) Expert salesmanship; (7) Final retailing. From this we see that marketing a commodity means more than handling it as soon as produced to the nearest concentration point and dumping it for whatever price may be olfered on a glutted primary market. Marketing only begins when that is done, and the wide differences between the growers' receipts and consumers' prices indicate that those who look after the various steps in marketing exact very good wages indeed for their services. In fact, in some of these steps farmers are coming to believe that economies might be effected through co-operative marketing to the advantage of growers and consumers. Co-operative marketing would reduce expense, eliminate waste, and add efficiency wherever possible in the various steps in marketing. Wherever the commodity is being handled as efficiently as possible already the cooperative association would take no action. It is remarkable that some growers object to co-operative marketing on the g.ound that it would take the marketing of their crops out of their individual hands and would interfere with their liberty of action. Such growers should reilect upon the value ER'S DEVIL -ODV.S SO \ PLOVJIKAGc . that such liberty has been to them in ' the past, and whether after all some middleman does not perform practi tally all the steps in the actual marketing of the commodity. His liberty I of action only allows him to dump his crop in competition with every other grower, whereas co-operative marketing would elminate such selling competition among members of an association and would encourage buying competition amomr buvers. .Inst hom this is done is a part of the plan which will be taken up in later articles of this series.?Clemson College.' TEACHERS' CERTIFICATES NOW ! SOUTH CAROLINA LICENSES The State Board of Examiners for Teachers is glad to announce that the task of converting all outstanding teachers' certificates into South Carolina State licenses is about finished. This work was madu necessary by the 1920 Act of the Legislature creating the Board of Examiners for Teachers. The members of this board are: Prof. H. B. Dominick, former super- , intendent of the Greer Schools; Miss Elizabeth McLean, of Sumter City 1 T 1- TT ni ? ~ were 929 applicants. A study of the records in the office leads one to believe that approximately 3,000 persons will stand th^ next examination which will 1>? held on Saturday, May 7th, at1 each county sot. The following regulation for the renewal r\ c lificnte? has been adopted by the State Board of Education: "Any outstanding first-grade State certificate may be renewed upon resentation to the State Board of Examiners of one year's successful and acceptable classroom experience by' 'he holder during the term covered by such certificates, with his or her j request for the renewal of a first-' grade certificate, together with a written endorsement from the county superintendent, and from the Board of district trustees. A second-grade certificate is renewable only upon the1 I presentation of a record of success-1 ' ful and satisfactory summer school work. A third-grade certificate shall not he renewed." !( Teachers now holding permits granted at the request of the county superintendent must take the regular examination required of all appliBy Charles C Wtutm No. ( sov-e.1 \wuo do voo ^ 0? ^j otiiuuis, iinu josepn 11. csneaiy, riegistrar of the Teachers' Bureau.

The task of certificating over nine thousand teachers has occupied the 1 entire item of all the members of the board since the first of September,1 and for five months approximately: eleven hours of work per day were ( necessary for converting certificates and correcting examination papers. The board endeavored to dispatch the duties of the office with as little | delay as possible and wishes to ex-' press its appreciation to the teachers, I county superintendents and school folk in general for the patience and support given in this work.

OollltnhicJl inril 1 1 A ^ , --f. .. . ?. o^pcoi j j to the fnrmers of South Carolina to j reduce their cotton acreage this year! j was issued today by the South Caro-1 j lina Division of the American Cotton j Association. "We have given you the facts re- j garding the world surplus of cotton i ' and we now leave the case with you," ! . says a statement issued by the association. "If you go ahead and plant j another full crop when there is al- J ready enough cotton on hand to supply the world for a year and a half you will be making your own bed and you will have to lie on it. We have done everything that we could possibly do to warn you and you will be walking into the trap with your eyes wide open. "At the conference held in Washington last week regarding the cotton situation it was the concensus of opinion that the only hope for the future of the South lies in a heavy reduction of the acreage.The New York bankers, the administration at Washington and the cotton experts all agreed that another large crop of cotton would mean financial ruin for the South. "A heavy reduction might result in our getting a much better price than now available for the cotton still on hand. A large crop means that the I price will go much lower than it now , u. "If you can grow cotton at 6 cents a pound and make money at it, go to it. If you can't you had better plant food a** feedstuflfs this year." i1 SOME DARKY LEGISLATION Those Southern Democrats who 1 claimed that the Republican Administration would be an improvement up- j on Wilson's Administration may be i interested to learn that a bill has already been introduced in Congress requiring Southern railroads to give the negroes the same privileges as white people on sleepers and coaches, and coaches. If such a law is passed it is hoped that sonic of the Wilson hateis from the South will be among the first to bunk with burly negroes on pullman cars. It is rather early to be getting a taste of what is coming to us under the great Republican Administration. "A poet is born, not made,"?but so is everybody else.?Neodesha (Kans.) Register.

Following the close of the second pear of the Baptist 75 Million Campaign April 30, several thousand mes- jengers from the local churches are jxpected to assemble at Chattanooga, renn., for the seventy-sixth annual session of the Southern Baptist Contention. The Convention met In Chattanooga last In May, 1906, and luring the interim there has been a marked growth in every department Hia Pnn von f \r%n*a ooHvHIoa an/1 In the numbers and work of the local churches as well. The total number of Baptists reported to the Convention in L906 was 1,855,784, while last May, fourteen years later, when the body net in Washington, the total membership of the local churches as reported was 2,961.348, or a gain of 1,105,664. rhe returns for this year are not yet available, but inasmuch as it, is known there were practically 175,000 additions to the local churches last year by baptism alone, there is every reason to believe the showing for 1921 will be even larger. Growth shown 1nr All Lines. At the same time there has been a marked increase in the mem jrshlp of the churches, there has been a distinct advance in all departments of local and denominational work, It- is aet out. The total number of local churches has grown from 20,129 in 1906 to 25,303 In 1920; the total number of Sunday Schools from 11,332 to 17,686; and the number of Sunday School pupils from 857,244 to 1,835,936, an increase of more than 100 per cent. The value of local church property has mounted from 84.501,122 In 1306 to 374,273,728 in 1920. "n Increase ' of more than 1600 per cent, while contributions to missions and benevolances in 1906 were $1,501,369.67, as compared to $7,331,266.55 in 1920, an advance of practically 500 per cent. Fourteen years ago the contributions to all purposes In a year were $5,941,* 283.44, as against $21,327,446.67 for 1920. Next Meeting Important. The approaching session of the Convention is regarded as vitally important to the future of the denomination's work. It is hoped that by the Convention two-fifths of all subscriptions to the 75 Million Campaign will have been paid In cash and that the program for the completion of the remainder of the campaign task can he formulated at this time. Dr. J. B. Gambrell, president of the Convention, and Dr. E. Y. Mulllnr. who recently completed a tour of Europe, where they carried fraternal pieetlngs to the Baptists of that continent, will give their Impressions of Baptist opportunity in that country, while Dr. George W. Tract and Dr J F. Love, who represented the Fo*eign Mission Board at the London Coofe-ence last sum mtjr ?ui ii me imisio.i neias or Europe were considered, will tell of the new territory of Spain, Jugo-Slavta, Hungary. Roumanla and Southern Russia, which Southern Baptists are asked to occupy. This territory is as large as tlfo Southern States and has a population of 128,000,000. All the boards of the Convention will report the largest year's accompllsmmonts In their history, the Home Mission Board 'being scheduled to report the completion of its million dollar loan fund for church building. In addition to the aiding of a thousand churches during the year with gifts and loans for the erection of new houses of worship. The Sunday School Board will report more than $1,000,000 In s?rlan lor the year and with collections as well as sales better than at any previous time In Its history.
