PAY TEACHERS AND SAVE THE SCHOOLS' "If your Americanism is founded upon intelligence (and it must be if it is going to live), you must have somebody who can bring out of the young what is in them. It is not a question of pouring; it is a question of drawing. You cannot expect that from a girl who gets $40 a month. Moreover you have got to treat peoI pie with respect and with dignity if f you are going to get the best out of them. "What recognition do we give to the teacher? What social status does she have? We talk of Americanism, and there is the person who is at the very heart and center of Americanism. Upon her depends our future. She can be made the i??4.

"I had rather have the school teacher than all else combined, because she can sow the seed in ground that is fallow. And what status <4o we give to her? With what dignity do we treat her? What deference do we pay her? Socially, ? r where is she? "If you love this country, if you ! believe that you are a good Ameri| can, see that the teacher gets an adequate salary, see that she gets proper recognition! For all of life is not money. The intangible things are the things for which most people fight and that are of most value. And there is no better illustration of that than the" city of Washington to which people are drawn largely because of those intangible things, not the least of which is our vanity, our love of distinction. "Just outside of Chicago, there is a model country school. Do you know that we do not give the children in the country districts a fair chance? I wanted several years ago to get congress to appropriate $300,000 that I might get a repre-j sentative teacher from each district | in the United States to spepd a l month at that school in Illinois, where they could find *out howj country children should be made to articulate with father and mother on the farm.

VICTORY MEDALS The War Department announced last year that the Victory Medal would be awarded to every former officer, field clerk, member of the Army Vurses Corps, and ' soldier who served in the Armies of the United States during the woridi War honorably. The medals are now ready for distribution and application blanks are at the U. S. Army Recruiting Station, Savannah, Ga. Applications are to be made upon official blanks only, and all who ai-e desirous of filling an application jand obtaining one of those medals 'should send for the necessary blanks and instructions. In writing for blanks, the applicant should give his name, and the rank and organization he w^s in at the time of his discharge from the service. After an applicant has received and filled out his application papers |these should be sent with his origi.nal discharge certificate to the jArmy Recniiting Officer, Savannah, j jGa., for entering and forwarding.' I The Recruiting Officer, as soon as ithe entries upon the application has jbeen checked,, will return the discharge to tht- address given by the applicant, and will forward the application as directed by the War Department.

LEAVING THE ARMY Resigations from the Regular Army establishment as the result of the reductions to pre-war grades that are to be made by July 1 are expected to swell by several hundred the 2,000 who have retired to civil life since th end of the war. The back-fire of the several hundred reductions announced by the War Department already has been felt. Brig.-Gen. R. C. Marshall, Jr., who during the war served as chief of the construction department and supervised the construction of the cantonments and factories erected by the War Devartment has handed < mm j ind Kcireslting S Abbeville Coca-G % Phone 195-B I-* *- * '*i jjifrrrrri'tri ! ,/!. .? 11# \i - *u i 1 (I'ffrfrrrr in his resignation. Under the order of the department of July 1 Gen. Marshall would have become a Captain in the Coast Artillery Corps. He has accepted a position in civil life that will pay him more than anything that the army could offer at any rank. Thirty-eight other general officers were affected by today's orders. Twenty-three of these during the war were Major-Generals, and with four exceptions they will hold the rank of Brigadier-General in the peace time army. In the four excepted cases the officers revert to colonels. The fifteen brigadier-gen/f n/lotr tirill cxaio .?-vi *??v. most part serve either as colonels or lieutenant-coonels. A notable exception, however, is Brig.-Gen. Marlborough Churchill, head of the Military Intajlligen'ce Division during the war who now becomes a Major in the Field Artillery. The most serious result is expected even further- down the line, wrere men who during the war were colonels and majors must endeavor now to make both ends meet on a first lieutenant's pay. The only hope that the war department holds out to any of these men is that under the provisions of the army reorganization bill there will be some immediate promotions. , THE CONFEDERATE COLLEGE R9 Ryn-.J Qf n,?l..tnn f A Boarding and Day School fo Girls.

Many hens are kept frftm fhroA t.n fivp vpftrs on thp farm and such individuals are always a loss to their owner. By keepJng the best layers and culling out the poor pro | ducers a greater profit will be de-j rived from the farm flock. Again, eggs will bk hatched only from tTie heavy^ layers and this will have a tendency to increase the laying qualities of the next generation. By disposing of all inferior hensi during the early fall sufficient room is provided for this year's young stock. This will allow them more housing space and the health of the flock will be increased thus causing a greater egg production. The County Home Demonstration agent of Abbeville County is planning a poultry culHng campaign as a regular part of her yearly work. The campaign will be carried on from ala Bottling Works, p Abbeville, S. C. p '*2t1rrl'f,''w""'rr'lerwf" t""7" irq TTpjmjp^^ffsTJpvvrA-.j-. ti^r.^. 08 ?fra??

A. NEUFFER, Pi August 1st to October 15th as it has been proven that best results are ob-1 tained during this season. The purpose of the campaign is to enable the farm owner to realize a greater profit from the poultry flock, With the present prices of corn and other feed stuff it is necessary to call out the poor producer or boarding hen, to save as much high priced feed as possible, to keep the best egg layers for another season, to provide sufficient space for this year's young stock and thus make it possiDle to receive the greatest possible returns i from the farm flock. It has only been during the past few years that the culling campaign work could be successfully carried on. The U. S. department of agriculture and the different state universities through the efforts of their poultry departments have been able to ; make a scientific study of poultry j and it is through their efforts that the culling work had been made possible.' The selection of the good producing hens is very simple and almost any one after a few moments practice i can successfully perform the work. ! The time of year the hen sheds its j feathers the color of the leg of the j bird, comb condition and other sinj g:le physical characteristics are considered. The County Home Dem. Agent Miss Crowther plans to polci a culling demonstration with each Woman's demonstration club in ilie county In addition many individual demonj strations will be given. In this manner it is hoped to reach a majority of the farm flocks in the county. For additional information and government literature on the subject get in communication with the County Home Demonstration agent, Miss j Ruth Crowther. THE MAD STONE HOAX ' i I Again we hear of that colassal jfake, the mad stone.
