j I .OUTH CAROLINIANS TO BE SO LICITED FOR $400,000 APRIL !?j 19-30. re wm II FALLEN DEAD Building of Architectual Beauty to be Erected at Columbia to Commem orate- World War Achieve ments. ! Columbia, S. C.-An Intensive cam paign to ?aise the balance of the $400, 0?9 to complete the fund for the erec tion of a memorial building of archi tectural beauty at Columbia has been decided on by the South Carolina Me morial Commission. The "drive" will commence April ll and terminate April 30. Practically all the counties of the .tate are organized and are ready to subscribe their quotas. Many of them already have reached or exceeded their allotments. AA act was passed by the 1919 Gen eral Aesembly providing for a me morial building of "architectual beau ty and appropriateness," to be erected at Columbia, and it was approved by Governor Cooper on March 7, 1919. Governor Cooper was made er-offl eto chairman and ex-Governor Man ning wac named vice chairman. In the act. Governor Cooper appointed a strong commission of fourteen per sons, two from each of the congres sional districts. The first act of the commission was to call on the people of the state for $440,000 to supplement the appropria tion of 1100,000 given by the ?tate, provided that the citizenry of South Carolina would donate such an amount as was decided upon by the commission. The act provides that the building "shall preserve In marbl-s or bronze w other imperishable form the names of all South Carolinians, whether sol diers, eailors, nurses or other work ers in the cause of victory, who have offered their lives as the supreme saori?ce in the winning of the war; and said building shall be the reposi tory of books, manuscripts and other records of tho history of the war and Ita purposes and achievements, and of the part borne in said war by the ?tate of South Carolina, and by her sons and daughters, whether m organ isations or as individuals, and wheth er in battle or in other work aad .enrice; and especially shall there he preserved in said memorial building writings commemorative of the mil itary and naval exploits and brave and patriotic deeds of South Caro linians who have shared the dangers and glories of the Great TVar on land and sea and in the air; and said build ing shall contain alcoves or sections for separate memorials to the met and women of the several counties of the state." The reaction resulting from relief from the strain of war, contemporan eous campaigns for funds and the ef fort of every class of citizens to reju venate their businesses and personal fortunes in the transition period, caused the memorial campaign to lan guish. The memorial commission did ne* attempt to press it with vigor for these reasons. But now, as the state somewhat baa returned to the normal, tbs people are awakening to the ne cessity of the memorial in honor of ifctieir heroic dead, and they have sig nified their intention of contributing liberally. The memorial, in contemplation of legislative intent, is to be beautiful in design and a gem of its kind. It will oontain a large auditorium in which may be held religious, patriotic, edu cational, end other meetings not pol itical, as well as sorve as a conven tion center for the veterans of the World War and other struggles. It is te have a hall of records, in which each county will be alloted an alcove m which may be placed records, tab lets, nags and historical data which has to be preserved. Upon comple tion tho structure, which ls to be erected on a lot on the 800 block of Main street, this city, donated by the University ef South Carolina, will be tamed over te the State Historical Commission and will be under the control of that body. The building will in no way be connected with the University of South Carolina. The names of every contributor ?o th? memorial fund will oe made into ft permanent record and will be pieced In the building. WHY?

Owing to the great interest mani fested in regard to boll weevil poi soning, the following information is given out at this time by Prof. A. F. Conradi of the crop pest commission of Clemson college. 1. The poison chiefly used for {his purpose is calcium arsenate (also known as cal-arsenate), which is the same as arsenate of lime. This ma terial is sprayed dry with a dusting machine built upon certain princi ples. None of the old dusting ma chines on the market are satisfactory for this work, and our people are urged to take notice of this. 2. On the date of this letter there are no dusting machines ready for use. A number of manufacturing plants are preparing to manufacture dusting machinery to meet these re- ! uirements, but at the present time j there are no machines ready for j operation aside from a few con structed and used in the experimental ! work by the federal government and j the state stations. 3. While there is not enough cal-1 cium arsenate for the boll weevil ter- ! ritory should all firmers wish to poison, yet it appears at this time be-1 yond question that there is much j more calcium aisenate available in ! the Southern market than there arc dust guns in sig.it with which to ap ply it. The possesession of calcium arsenate is of little or no value un-j less there is a proper dusting machine ! with which to apyly it, and for this 1 reason it "seems wise to proceed very slowly in the purchase of machines and calcium arsenate. 4. Our people are again urged not to purchase dusting machinery which has not the approval of federal or state experts. 5. While this cotton dusting shows great promise on some of the all cot ton plantations of the Gulf states, it must be remembered that South Car olina presents many new conditions with which the experimenters have to become familiar, and until these va rious details have been worked out no definite dusting information can yet be given to our farmers in this state. 6. Though we have great confi dence in the development of poison control, yet in view of the probable conditions in South Carolina for 1920 our farmers'are not warranted, it ap pears to us, to take great risks in poisoning. Experiments will be con ducted during the year for the pur pose of developing a practical pro gi-am for South Carolina plantations. 7. If the season of 1920 is a wet one, severe damage may be expected along the coast ,and this office will send out information from time to Lime showing the progress of thc work, and as soon as machines are ' available for this work, information will be sent out. Germany Bes.ins Program to Cut Down Its Army. Paris, April 9.-Demands Hut Germany disband her army and re tain only 200.000 men with the col ors, presented at Berlin Wednesday by General Nollet, president of the inter-allied commission of control have been sent to the government of various German states by the minis ter of the interior, says a Berlin dis patch. The minister asks the states to give assurance that the civil guards are dissolved, adding that thc Prussian minister of war has already decided upon such a step. The demands are said to have been accompanied by a note from the min ister declaring they contained a pas sage "implicating untrue supposi tions on the part of France," but stating the Berlin government "did not believe itself obligated to enter into new representations to the French government."

Paris, April 10.-On behalf of the people of the French capital, Adrien Oudin, president of the Paris Munici pal council, sent a message of thanks today to the national committee for "America's Gift to France" in New York. M. Oudin says that the children of France on making their pilgrim ageto the Marne monument "with al so remember that in 1918 the glori ous soldiers of Pershing came on that same spot to the aid of our soldiers to save' our capital close by and to defend the torch of liberty against tyranny's last assault. M. Oudin's message is as follows: "In the name of the municipality and the people of Paris, I express to you deep gratitude of my fellow cit izens to the Marne monument com mittee which unites numerous chil dren of the noble American republic in the moving thought of celebrating the resistance of our race to the en emy's aggression. "Paris, which has seen so many in vasions expire before its walls, will never forget the significance of the monument offered by New York and the vast cities of the United States. Paris will again find there the same liberty which towers above the banks of the Hudson and which, at the same time as our civilization and our art treasures, was saved on the Marne by our heroes of 1914. But, when mak ing their pilgrimages to the statue erected by you, our children will also soldiers of Pershing came, on that same spot, to the aid of our soldiers to save our capital close by and to j defend the torch of liberty against tyranny's last assault." Federal Board for Quarantine to Halt Boll Worm Pest. Washington, April 9.-Drastic quarantine of the cotton acreage in Texas and Louisiana infected by the pink boll worm was recommended to day to Secretary Meredith by the fed eral horticultural board as the only means of preventing rapid spread of the crop pest. All or portions of nine counties in Texas and three parishes in Louisiana would be included in the area in which growing of cotton would be prohibited with an addition al "neutral zone" of from five to ten miles around these districts. Both states have agreed to co operate with the federal authorities if the quarantine is ordered. Govern or Hobby of Texas announced that he would ask the legislature to re compense the farmers for crops al ready planted. Similar action already has been taken in Louisana. In addition to the quarantine, it was recommended that a regulated ??.one, 25 miles in width, be establish ed around the non-cotton area in Texas with similar zones ten miles wide around "all oil mills in Texas known to have received seed during the last three years" from districts known to have been invaded. Execution of this plan will make i' possible, Secretary Meredith said, tc limit federal quarantine to the non cotton and thc regulated zones de scribed as to these two states, and the department will place no restrictions on the interstate movement of cot son and cotton products out of the sections of Texas and Louisiana not included in the quarantined district. It is believed that it will be possi ble to discontinue many if not all of thc regulated zones about oil mills in Texas and Louisiana which are un der suspicion on account of having received seed from the invaded dis tricts in Louisiana should the thor ough inspection of the season of 1920 show absence of invasion by the insect at these points. The quarantine and restrictions covering movement of products out of the no-cotton and regulated zones of the states of Texas and Louisiana apply' to all cotton products other than oil.

The That Ever Came to Market Men Who Appreciate Superlative Values Prefer The Brunswick In every great tire factory, the chief question is: "How much can we give for the money?" And the product depends _ on the policy adopted. '.J Every man who has become ac quainted with Brunswick Tires ?nows that Brunswick standards are again evident. This famous con cern-noted as a leader in every line it entered since 1845-has once more proved that its policy is right. ? perfect tire is simply a matter of knowledge ~nd standards and skill. No secrets nor patents pre vent making an ideal tire. But standards come first. For iri tire making there is vast room for skimping, for subtle economies, for hidden shortcomings.. Makers with out the highest standards don't build high-grade tires. The Brunswick organization of tire makers includes a brilliant staff of technical experts. Not a man among them has spent less than 20 years in handling rubber. Each is a master of his craft. And the new ideas they bring to the attention of Brunswick direc tors receive sincere consideration. Every proved betterment is adopted unanimously. The Brunswick Tire is a combi nation of acknowledged features plus Brunswick standards of manu facture. The result is a super-tire, the like of which you have never known be fore. The kind of a tire you will gladly join in welcoming. Yet Brunswicks cost no more than like-type tires. Try ONE Brunswick. We prom ise a surprise. And we feel certain that you will want ALL Bruns wicks. Then good tires will have a new meaning to you. THE BRUNSWICK-BALKE-COLLENDER CO.
