Columbia, Dec. 10.-Excepting a

lath, the month of November was un
usually mild and open, with abund
ant sunshine, aud seasonable, fairly
distributed rains. T?e first general
filling frosts of the autumn occurred
on tim 16th and 17th. Conditions
were generally favorable for housing
late crops and preparing tho soil for
small grata and truck. Cotton plck

Sweet potato digging showed good
results. Tho mountains were white
witl^ snow on the 20tb and 28th.
An unusual. storm, with many of
the characteristics ot a moderate hur
ricane, visited the section on the
18th; the barometer fell 6.3 inches in
ll 1-2 hours, followed by a sharp risc,
and wind velocities ragged between
18 and 62 miles per hour, but lhere
?va:; a singular absence of a great ma
terial ?.image. Hao storm was st
eaded by heavy rains on the higher
? lev?t i OOH, which caused a m ".J erato
reshet in tho lower Watereo and San

8th. *

War's I nil u cn co on Toys.
Political conditions' and soda*,
changes have for centuries reflectod
' themselves in children's toys aad
sames, just as they have influence']
the dress, art, and literature of Na
tiocuB. . It ia net surprising therefore
fha! iihis year the American boy's
Christmas playthings, bear conspicua
iii?ly. the stamp.'..of Europe's con
flict. A greater variety of military
ind na-<al toys is now afforded thea
ever before, both: because of j the
status *>f "affairs ftb??ft4 snd-tbo ?trik
ing changes in modern' Warfare aud
;ts instruments er destruction.
.There is hardly a how ! war. tool'ot
Importance ' which ? has1 not to some
degree furnished a pattern for a
child's bauble. " A ; miniature battle
ship u n E qu i oped with wireless aerials
or a complement of flying boats can
not be'Called modern. Tho air 'rifle
which is without a blunted bayonet
and a shoulder sling is obviously not
designed -for . mimic hcdaiities. A
cannon which fires only one wooden
projectile at a time, ls at. a disad
vantage, for quick-fire and machine
guns are now used ' in bombarding
pasteboard forts and combating pig
ai y soldiers. Tri?se individuals haye
also undergone ' a radical chango,
they have developed into ahlmaled
lolls 'folly attired in field. uniforms
and fit-tod with haversacks, cartridge
belts, and rifles. They -, walk about
with "military pomp a?d clatter, in
stead of remaining -isiuict?yV ia the
places they are.set.
Thus thc toy-makers of both the
old world and . of America,- wi io -aro
the ordnance manufacturers for the
youngsters' military forces, have kept

Gordon Bennett made a trip1
In his steam yacht through;
the West Indies, and when no
, cached La Guayra ho cabled
orders to tho New York Herald to,
run a Borleo'of articles describing
that part of the Caribbean as a cruis
ing ground for vacht owners. Since
then a good m. ;y yachtsmen have
followed Air. Bennett's lead, hut few
have got ns much out of tho trip In
the way of. excitement and varied'ex
perience as did Frederick Fcnger of
Boston.
Accompanied by his wife and a one
man crow. Skipper Fenger made a
cruise of more than 6,000 miles in the
specially designed schooner Diablesse.
Storms along the gulf waters, dan
gora of starvation and hardships of
long boura at the wheel were safely
surmounted; suspicions ot being Ger
man spion were finally routed; mu
tiny on board v.-au quelled, when for
a few days added help war taken on
board, and at last, in June, 1916, the
little 21-ton schooner returned homo.
Nothing very exciting happened in
.the first part of the trip except the
desertion of the ."crow," who feared
to cross the gulf stream. Captain and
Mrs. Fenger managed to reach Bimini,
and continued to Nassau, where a new
crow, in Ute person of one. "Jamale/
Fred," was shipped, and he stuck to
the end.

"We anchored' "with all bur -chains
out, and the, officers took all our pa

the schooner. An American 80-foot
schooner yacht a ye?r before had
been fired on in the. same locality."
They got. away from Port do Paix

NEED OF PERMANENT
SOIL ENRIGHT
Abandoned Farms of the East
em States Could Be Made
Valuable.
New York. Dec. 10.-Declaring that'
the abandoned farms of the eastern
states might woll be worth $400 an
acre, instead of $20, Dr. Cyril O.
Hopkins of the University of iillnoi ;
today sounded a note of warning aa
to the need for permanent and scien
tific soil enrichment' throughout tt?e
agricultural lands of tho United states
-in the wost as well ns tho east. Ho
strongly urged cooperation to this
end on tho part of city neoplo. Dr.
Hopkins made hiu plea before the
Ninth Annual Convention of the As
;oclatlon of Lifo Insurance presi
dents, whldb) ia tonslderlng various
problems involved In loauiug life In
surance funds cn farm mortgages. At
present about six hundred and sixty
nillion dollars of life insurance mon
ey la loaned on farms, principally in
the south and west.
"Tho most important and tho most
neglected factor In American ngTicul
Vure ls that of soil enrichment," said
Dr. - Hopkins. "For three centuries
tho American' farmer has drawn tho
support of the nation from Che fer
tility contained in OUT virgin soils,
with widespread soil- depletion as a
result. AVhea the land becamo loo
porr to raise a profitable crop by tho
ordinary means o{ soil stimulation,
the American farmer has, as a geueral
rule, allowed tho farm to go back to
nature, and ho lins either moved to
newe'.* lands or Joined tho Increasing
urban population.
"Tho. improvement of Bead, trie usc
of tile drainage, thc invention and
gonoral adoption of labor-saving ma
chinery, tho development of cheap and
rapid means of transportation, and
tho opening of tho world's markets

If a state Uko Oiaseachusetts should
entirely sien farming, the fact w?rild
be made known and emphasized tho
country over and tho world around?
but, if another equal aroa of improv

wcrds, the combined area or improv

statos In 1910 was less than 9,809,

"Already the question of food has
begun to exert pressure in this coun
