Prohibition Enforcement Gain ing Everywhere. There is a force of Field Super visors operating from the Washing ton office of the Federal Prohibition Commissioner, < whose duty it is to periodicailv check directors' offices to see that the work is handled ex peditiously and according to regula tions; that files, papers and all ex ecutive matters are current. This force is rapidly being developed a long highly specialized lines and it is hoped will soon become one of the main agencies in effecting a thor ough business-like conduct of the di rectors' offices. In an informal re port giving a general summary of the activities of the year which has elap sed since his entering upon his offi cial duties, Commissioner Roy A. Hayes states his belief that it will in time compare favorably with other like agencies in the Government and large commercial organizations. "Directors have been urged to ex ert their best efforts in obtaining the support and co-operation of the judiciary and Department of Jus tice," says the Commissioner. "The press was also recognized as an important factor in informing the public and arousing the people to the importance of law enforcement, and in this connection directors were requested to obtain the co-operation of the press. "Directors were to recommend men for agents upon their merits rather than for any other considera tion, and urge that agents should al ways conduct themselves in such a way as to command the respect of all good, law-abiding citizens. "Taken as a whole, reports from directors show a wonderful improve- . ment all over, the United States. The courts are tightening up, it is much easier to secure convictions from juries; judges are meting out in many instances jail and penitentiary sentences of long terms. "Directors are receiving better co-operation from county, municipal and state officers and court officials, prosecuting attorneys and officials generally. "Most newspapers, metropolitan and rural, are anxious to print actual news and many are giving valuable aid in upholding our forces in en forcement of the law." Prohibition Instrumental in Bringing Prosperity. Mr. Walter Grundy, president of the Fourth State Bank of Hutchin son, Kansas, on returning from a Recent .trip to New York City, report : ed business in the east to be flourish ing, with a big building boom on, and everywhere evidence of a financial well-being such as has not been ex perienced since the war. "Money is easy," as* a result of the big money reserves," said Mr. Grun dy as quoted by the Hutchinson News. "Prohibition is being given much credit for this condition. The millions of dollars that formerly went for booze are now going into legiti mate channels, and this is having a great deal to do with restoration of prosperity." Congresswoman Alice Robert son Opens Campaign for Re-Election. Standing on the site where the first missionary school in the old In dian country was established and where her mother, a teacher in that school, met her father, Miss Alice Robertson, Oklahoma Congresswo man, on July the Fourth opened her campaign for the Republican re-nom ination to succeed herself. Miss Robertson said her only plat form was that she was "a Christian, an American and a Republican." She opened her address with a scrip tural passage which she read from a large Bible. Ex-Secretary Daniels Attacks Liquor Sale on U. S. Ships. Mr. Josephus Daniels, former Sec retary of the Navy, known as the "man who made the Navy dry," is said to have characterized the sale of liquors on United States vessels as "scandalous" in a Chautauqua ad dress at Walhawla, N. D. Any man who had studied law for fifteen min utes would know that the present laws could not be interpreted to per mit the sale of liquors on ships and prohibit the sale on land," he declar ed. He expressed his belief that noth ing short of a special act of Congress could make the sale of liquor on U nited States ships permissible.

C. 7-26-4t Unwelcome New3 for Parents. That text-books' to be used in the public schools have increased in price 100 per cent over last year is not a cheering bit of hews to the father of four or five children who must sac rifice and skimp to send his children to school at all. Yet that is the situation! In explanation of the increase it is pointed out that the state depart ment of education had a contract with book publishers which expired last year, a contract which had been running for five years, and that a nev/ contract had to be negotiated at a much higher price. Naturally books had advanced much in five years and the department had to meet the increase. Under the circum stances the department is not to blame, for it had the interest of edu cation at heart and doubtlessly did the- best it could. But the man who must sell out twice as much for his children's books as he did last year is not apt to go into analysis. His first thought if his funds are low is to keep his children out of school. As little as we think of it, the cost of text-books is a big item for the av erage man. By the time he outfits his youngsters in school togs, buys their fall shoes and maybe pays their tu ition, he has had a pretty large in vestment in education .On top of this come the text-books and they are the straw that breaks his back. He has no alternative but to buy them. And he always pays what he considers a fancy price because he is forced to make the purchase. If he is not a confirmed advocate of education he throws up the job and takes chances on escaping the compulsory law. There are children in South Carolina every fall who go to work instead of to school because their parents balk at the purchase of reading equip ment. The News believes that South Car olina should follow in the wake of other progressive states by furnish ing free text-books to the children in the public schools. It has contended from the time of the enactment of the compulsory law that it is unfair to force children to go to school and not supply them with text-books with out cost. The suggestion has met with criticism from educational folk who claim that there is so much variance in educational standards in the state that it would be impossible to adopt text-books for general use. Perhaps difficulties of the kind would be had for a while but eventually the kinks could be ironed out and the corricu lums be made to conform to the text books if not the textbooks to the curriculum. Where there is a will there is a way and if other states have operated the plan for years, as many of them have, South Carolina can do it too. The cause of education would be greatly stimulated were free text books provided. The father of five would look forward to the opening of the school doors with a smile and not a frown were he relieved of the expense of buying a library to be used for a short time and then con signed to the family junk-heap. Greenville News. Poisoning Hints. Clemson College, July 31.-Far mers who are poisoning or who are about to poison for boll weevil con trol should remember the following suggestions by Prof. A. F. Conradi, Entomologist. 1. Unless the farmer is willing, and is prepared and determined to poison right, he had better not poison at al".. 2. A farmer attempting to poison cotton on poor land may expect to fail. 3. Unless the picking of infested squares from the plants and from the ground is most thorough, no benefit may be expected. Square collecting should be done thoroughly, undor effective supervision, with la bor that costs nothing or practically nothing in cash. 4. For the mule-drawn and mule back-dusters, use gentle mules to avoid accident. 5. If the poison is of incorrect specifications, it may cause burning of the plants or it may fail to do any good. Both of the U. S. Delta Labor atory and Clemson College Labora tory have offered all spring, and are offering now, to examine the calcium arsenate samples free of charge, and will furnish upon request directions for sending samples. 6.

BARTLEY. Three Kinds of Workers. There are three kinds of Christian workers-canal barges, sailing ships, and Atlantic liners. The canal barges need to be drag ged to the work. Often they do won derfully well, but on the whole one volunteer is better than three pres sed men. The sailing ships make fine going so long as wind and tide are with them, but when things get hard, when "the wind3 are contrary," when the work is discouraging, they turn tail and sail away. But give me the Atlantic liner, type of worker, the man who can fight his way through wind and tem pest, because within ere burns the hot throb of the mighty furnace of the love of Christ.--Dr. W. M.
