The Knack.?"The Germans, lacking
gasoline, are making a substitute for
their automobiles out of fat,*' said u
local auto dealer the other day. The
Germans, with their submarines and
Zeppelins and Taubes and what not
certainly put modern progress to good
use.
"In this knack of turning all sorts of
modern things to good use the Germans
are like the inventor who visited
the capitalist and said:
"I've got an invention here that will
make both our fortunes. It is an alarm
clock that we can guarantee?that we
can positively guarantee?for it will
make every single purchaser jump out
of bed like a shot."
" 'Humph. That's what they all say.
But let's hear her ring." said the
skeptical capitalist.
" 'She don't ring," said the inventor,
smiling proudly. 'She honks.'"
In a Bad Fix.?Speaking of the high
cost of living (which we seem to have
been speaking of) what do you know
about and what can you think about
this one?
Dr. Leonard P. Russell met some
friends of his in the lobby of a hotel
one afternoon, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. He didn't act healthy.
"What's the matter, Doc?'* asked
one of his friends, solicitously, "you're
sneezin' your fool head oft."
"I seem to have taken cold," answered
the doctor.
"Why, don't you consult a physician?"
asked the friend.
"I have no confidence in them,'"
coughed the professional gentleman.
"Gee! Well, then, why don't you
prescribe for yourself?"
"I can't afford to. My prices are too
high."
Instructing the New Reporter.?
When Fred Helskell was city editor of
the Arkansas Gazette, a cub reporter
turned in a "story" that ran like this:
"Buck Seymour was seen with a twoinch
auger going down the river road
this morning. Wonder what Buck is
after now?"
"Here, young man," called out the
city editor, "this story is Incomplete.
We don't print that kind of items in
the Gazette. Tell what Buck was doing
with the auger."
"I?I didn't find out," the cub stammered.
"Well, I'll tell you this one time.
Plainly, he was going after grease
fish. You catch 'em by boring a hole
in the water and baiting the surface
with dried prunes. The grease flsh
comes out, eats the prunes and swells
up so he can't get back in the hole."
The Rebuke.?The Washington Star
relates that a congressman said the
other day:
"The afternoon I went through Carnegie's
peace palace at The Hague 1
could hear the drums beating and the
soldiers marching less than a block
away.
"This war is a terrible scourge. I
sometimes think that they who can
stand up for it are as insincere as the
lady at the vaudeville show.
"At this show, when an Oriental
dancer came on, a young man leaned
forward and said eagerly to a lady in
front of him:
" 'Would you kindly remove your
hat, madam?'
" Certainly not!' she said. 'You're
much too young to look at a turn
like this."" >
Planning a Campaign.?A number of
farmers were sitting around the
cracker barrel in the country store,
telling how the potato pests had got
into their crops. Said one:
"Them peats ate my whole crop in
two weeks:
Then another spoke up:
"They ate my crop in two days, and
then sat around on the trees and waited
for me to plant more."
Here the sales agent for a seed
house broke in:
"Well, boys," he said, "that may be
so, but I'll tell you what I saw in our
own warehouse. I saw four or five
beetles examining the books about a
week before planting time to see who
had bought seed."?Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.
The young man hesitated to believe
the statement of her little brother
that the young lady was not at
home. He repeated the question, at
the same time displaying a quarter.
The boy eyed it longingly and again
replied in the negative.
"But didn't she leave a message for
me?" asked the disappointed swain.
"Yes." said the lad?and nothing
more.
As one who sees a great fight, the
young man tossed him the coin.
"Now," he said, "out with the message."
"She said she's not gonna see you
any more and you're not to give me
any money."
A Trifle too High.?There recently
went into a fashionable shoe shop the
N uaughter of a man whose wealth has
been acquired within very recent
years. The young woman was disposed
to patronize the shopman, and rejected
a number of "classy" slippers
he produced for her approval. Finally
she said:
"I think, perhaps. I shall take these
two pairs. But Louis XV heels are toe
high for me. Give me a size lower?or,
say?perhaps Louis XIII will he high
enough."?London Tit-Bits.

LEVER WAREHOUSE BILL
Tell* of the Measure Passed by the
House.
Congressman Lever, who has just
succeeded in having the house pass
his cotton warehouse bill after many
efforts, was asked a few days ago to
give a brief outline of what the bill
will accomplish and what it will mean
to the people to which he replied in
part:
"What does this bill undertake to
do? What measure of good does it
seek to accomplish? What is its purpose?
It undertakes and will result
in the establishment of a uniform system
of warehouses and warehousing
for the storage of agricultural products.
At present there is no such
system. Whatever of storage facill
ties we nave is or a uuugt: puugc acter,
entirely lacking in that uniformity
so desirable for the greatest
simplicity and efficiency and economy.
"It will result in the adoption
throughout the country of a uniform
warehouse receipt for agricultural
products of the same kind. This is of
the greatest importance. To illustrate:
Assume that I am a farmer living in
Lexington county, S. C., operating a
private warehouse, properly insured
and fully bonded, in which I have
stored 100 bales of cotton, correctly
and expertly graded. Upon this cotton
I issue my private warehouse receipt.
It is possible that 1 would be
able without difficulty to negotiate a
loan upon such receipt with my own
local banks, where my integrity is
known and my credit established. But
suppose I should find myself in the
city of Birmingham, the home city of
the gentleman from Alabama (Mr.
Underwood), with this receipt in my
pocket and a desire to borrow upon it.
Does anyone imagine that the Birmingham
bankers would take the risk
of the Integrity of this receipt unless
he had full confidence in my own personal
integrity? The combination
might get me the loan; but suppose
this receipt had been indorsed to a
third party, an absolute stranger to
the banker: I think no one will doubt
the difficulty which he would have in
getting its face value. To him the
value of this receipt as collateral or
for loans would be worth no more
than the paper upon which it was
written. But if all warehouse receipts
for cotton from Texas to South Carolina
were uniform in character and
meant in Texas what they mean in
South Carolina, the value of such a
receipt would of necessity be .greatly
enhanced; in fact, such a receipt
would become easily negotiable and
transferable in the ordinary course of
trade.
"It will give an integrity and a certainty
of value to warehouse receipts
for agricultural products, which they
do not now possess. The meaning ol
this was clearly brought out in a
statement at the cotton conrerence
called bv Secretary AlcAdoo last August
of H. R. Eldridge of the National
City bank of New York, in which he
says:
" "In the near future the bankers ot
the wheat-producing sections will
probably have surplus funds to invest,
and the eastern and northeastern
states as well as those of the middle
west and the west will be reasonably
easy in the matter of money and will
be attracted toward good paper, well
secured and of assured payment when
due. Under the old order of things,
paper secured by cotton and many
other commodities was rarely presented
on the market in such form as to
command the respect of investors, and
it can now be so presented this season
unless conditions are changed in
certain respects. One essential to this
end is a uniform warehouse receipt 01
undoubted integrity. As things now
are such warehouse receipts are few.
Where it is deemed necessary to improve
the standing of warehouse receipts,
warehouses making application
to the proper authorities should be
governmentally licensed under regulations
to be established, and each warehouse
so licensed should be supplied
with a government inspector, who
should issue a uniform receipt for each
bale of cotton or other form of package
representing a commodity stored
certifying thereon the mark, the
weight, and the grade. This system
would create a form of security good
beyond peradventure and one that
would command the respect of all
bankers and investors everywhere."
"Let me illustrate this by taking up
again my private warehouse receipt
for cotton stored in my own warehouse
in Lexington. Such a receipt
will have full integrity among those
who know me and know that I have
such a warehouse as 1 claim to have
and that I have in it such an amount
of cotton of such grade and weight as
1 claim to have in it and as represented
in the warehouse receipt upon
which 1 am seeking to borrow money.
C??*r?K o r\t io crn/tH lnrallv ll
, would not be good in Houston, Texas;
| and a banker in Texas who would loan
the face value of such a receipt would
> be treading indeed upon dangerous
ground as a banker. If, however, this
f receipt should show upon its face that
the warehouse issuing it was either
supervised or operated by the state of
South Carolina and that the state 01
South Carolina vouched for every
claim of the receipt, the Texas banker
would be within the bounds of good
and safe banking in reiying upon tiie
integrity of it. Now, if this last proposition
is true, does it not stand to
reason that if this receipt had issued
trom a warehouse supervised by the
federal government its value as collateral
would be greatly enhanced. In
, my judgment such a receipt would
pass current in the channels of trade
almost as readily as a bank note. Mr.
Bldridge, you will see, says that a
warehouse receipt to be of undoubted
integritv should issue from warehouses
governmentally licensed under
regulations and should be uniform in
character. Such a system, he says,
would create a form of security good
beyond peradventure and one that
would command the respect of all
bankers and investors everywhere, in
this opinion Mr. Eldridge is supported
by every student of the economic
question involved, and this bill proposes
just such a .system as is suggested.
"Under the provisions of the bill
uniform warehouse receipts will be
issued upon agricultural products
stored in warehouses governmentally
licensed, graded, weighed and certificated
by governmentally licensed inspectors.
We are trying in this bill to
make liquid the evidence of the ownership
of agricultural products, something
that is not the case at present;
we are trying to give a more ready
negotiability to such evidences of
ownership than they now possess; we
are trying to bring into proper relationship,
to link up, as it were, agricultural
products and banking and investing
capital. We are trying to
make the provisions of this bill dovetail
into the provisions of the Federal
reserve act in so far as they touch agricultural
uroducts. The secretary ol
the treasury has expressed his willingness
to issue currency on warehouse
receipts for cotton, tobacco and
other staple and nonperishable agricultural
products, but the secretary of
the treasury would be lacking in that
wisdom with which I credit him if he
should agree to issue currency upon
warehouse receipts indiscriminately
and without any regard to the character
of the supervision of the warehouses
from which they issue. He
would of necessity, out of business
i caution and to preserve the integrity
of the treasury, to maintain its credit,
examine the manner of supervision of
the warehouses issuing the receipts
upon which he is asked to issue currency,
or through the Federal reserve
act, to rediscount agricultural paper
secured by such collateral.
"The bill will result in furnishing
> larger storage facilities for agricultural
products and will serve as an incentive
to farmers not only to store
their products, thereby saving millions
of dollars of weather loss each year,
but. which is more important, enable
th?m to market their product at periods
when the demand for them is
1 strongest and the price highest. With
us in the south millions of dollars arc
, lost annually because we permit our
chief staple crop?cotton?to lie out in
, the weather: but we lose more, infinitely
more, because of our custom and
' necessity of marketing the bulk of our
. crop in the course of three or four
. months This measure will furnish the
machinery by which this enormous
wasu* may ue savru uuu uuk minus*
nesslike system abolished. Not only
this, but for the first time In this
country machinery under the terms ot
this bill is provided through which the
farmer may know from disinterested
sources both the grade of his product
and its commercial value. This, in
brief, is the bill and what it seeks to
accomplish. It is in every line of it a
farmers' bill, and to my mind is the
most far-reaching step forward in the
building up of a real system of marketing,
a system which looks to the
benefit of the man who produces the
goods to be sold that has been taken
in many a day either by state or Federal
enactment."
THE BATTLE LINE.
' I
Most Striking Feature of the Great
and Bloody Battle.
The eastern boundary of France
divides itself into four very nearly
equal sections. Italy and Switzerland
are the lower quarters of this boundary
line and of the upper quarters
Belgium is the larger and Germany the
smaller. The southern half of the
German quarter boundary is a mountain
range, and on the open sections
stand the great fortifications of France
and Germany, regarded by both countries
as practically impregnable. The
defence of France on the Belgium
frontier was the treaty which guaranteed
the neutrality of the smaller
country.
When Germany's conquering hosts
came through Belgium the war soon
became a battle of human beings
rather than of fortifications. Neither
the French nor the Germans had
learned from practical experience the
modern art of fighting human legions
in ground trenches, but both sides
quickly betook themselves to this rabbit
method of warfare.
Today from Switzerland to the
North Sea, is a wall of 4,000,000
men, all fighting not only for their
own existence, but for the existence of
their nationality?their national ideals.
They are protected by aeroplanes fly
illR auuve, niHL Reey naitii ui an;
large movements.
They are backed by 4,000,000 men
In reserve and training, who keep
the trenches filled with fighting men,
as 10,000 to 20,000 daily retire to
mother earth, to the hospitals or the
camps of the imprisoned. On the
North Sea and the English channel
they are supported by fleets of battleships,
cruisers, submarines and torpedo
boat destroyers that occasionally
"scrap" with each other, the
German boats now and then attacking
the English coast and harbors and
the English boats now and then assisting
to mow down the German
troops when they approach too near
the coast. But the great dread and
key to this naval warfare is the modern
submarine.?Wall Street Journal.
? Columbia, December 29: "Resolved,
That this conference go on record
as endorsing the bill prepared by Prof.
Frank Evans which contemplates a
state-wide compulsory education law
or a similar bill. Resolved, second,
That if under present conditions, it
becomes necessary to adopt a local
option feature that this conference
favors the local option feature contained
in the bill prepared by Supt.
Swearingen, or a similar feature,"
were the resolutions adopted by the
conference on state-wide compulsory
education here this afternoon, after a
three hours' session. The conference
was attended by educators, legislators,
lawyers and preachers from all parts
of the state, and was presided over by
Representative Jos. A. McCullough of
Greenville. The conference heard the
views of various ones on the compulsory
educational idea, and President
H. N. Snyder of Wofford college, introduced
the resolution endorsing the
Evans bill. There was a division in
the conference over tieing up tb a
particular bill, whereupon Bishop A.
W. Guerry introduced a substitute
simply endorsing the compulsory education
principle. Representative Alan
Johnstone, Jr., of Richland, pointed
out that the compulsory education
idea was already endorsed by every
one present as evidenced by their presence
and suggested that the words
"or a similar bill" be added to the
Snyder resolution. This was accepted
by Dr. Snyder, whereupon Bishop
Guerry withdrew his substitute and
the Snyder resolution as amended by
Mr. Johnstone, was adopted. The
conference between the committee on
child labor and the mill owners here [
this afternoon, decided to ask for a
law making 14 years the age limit for
working children in the mills condiffnnpH
nn fhp flflnntion of A stAtp-wide
compulsory education law and providing
that the law should not affect
children already employed.
Substance of Note to Great Britain.
?The general points of complaint in
the recent note of the United States
to Great Britain are summarized as
follows:
"1. American cargoes have been
searched on the high seas?a belligerent
right that is not denied?but
the ships also have been diverted to
ports for further examination, a circumstance
held not justified under
international law unless full proof of
hostile destination is presented at the
time. Serious loss, especially to perishable
goods, has resulted from such
delays in a ship's voyage.
"2. Great Britain has regarded
absolute and conditional contrabrand
as in the s^me class. The general
understanding in international law
has been that absolute contrabrand includes
articles intended for use by a
belligerent force and directly destined
to it. Conditional contrabrand, including
foodstuffs, comprises articles
susceptible for use by the army or
navy, but it may be proven that these
products are destined for armed
forces.
"3. Irrespective of the controversy
over what constitutes absolute or
conditional contrabrand in commerce
between a neutral and a belligerent
country, the note sets forth that in
respect to commerce between the two
neutral countries, there ought to be
no question of contrabrand at all for
the relations are those of peace and
not of war. Since the civil war the
United States has upheld the doctrine
of 'continuous voyage,' which permitted
seizure of a cargo even in its
journey between neutral ports, provided
eventually it was destined for a
belligerent. The American note, however,
takes the position that proof of
such hostile destination must be
shown at the time of seizure."
The Universal Pipe.?There is hardly
a country in the world where the
pipe is not smoked in one form or another.
The Kaffir dearly loves his pipe, and
foilintr tho croni linn uptinlo will iiflo
anything that will hold tobacco?from
a piece of iron piping to a cow's horn.
When not even these are available he
will use the earth! He does this by
making a small hole to hold the tobacco,
from which he makes a passage
for the smoke by pushing a curved
piece of wire through the ground. He
then lies face downward, applies a
light to the tobacco and his lips to the
ground at the spot where he has withdrawn
the wire and smokes in peace.
In many villages of the north-west
provinces of India are to be found public
hookahs for the use and comfort
of travellers.
Everyone has heard of the North
American's pipe of peace. Gen. Blucher's
pipe smoking was of a very different
character. He appointed a man
to the post of "pipe master," whose
duty it was to All a long clay pipe and
hand it to the general before every engagement.
Blucher would then enjoy
a few puffs, give back the pipe and
gallop into the firing line.?South African
Telegraph.
Xi'rTo protect a Swiss railroad from
frequent avalanches, numerous snow
retaining walls have been built on a
mountain side at points from which
the slides start to hold the snow until
it melts.
The world's greatest wireless station
has been built in Italy, powerful
enough to communicate with the
North and South America when similar
stations are erected on this side of
the Atlantic.
Regarding the
Monument
The Monument Is the sole produci
of man which is expected to exist
without change or repair, for al
time?beyond the memory that w<
cherish in our hearts, which is onlj
as long as the span of life. It ma]
help to form a record, but it Is erect'
ed as a tribute of love to those wh<
have passed "to that bourne front
whence no traveler ever returns." Ai
such, let it be a thing of beauty, no'
dark and somber, but bright anc
cheerful; not typifying earthly sor
row, but symbolising undying love
And as architecture Is brought to ui
from the past by the tombs of th<
ancients, so let us pass on to those
in our steps, some worthy expresslor
of our conception of beauty.

Terms and Conditions
THE CONTEST BEGINS NOW aand will come to a close on SATURDAY,
ii ? twu 1'tTlf at A nil I? \f SU411I>
.Tl.invil *u m% W.ww . .
Each Clubmaker will be held individually responsible for the paymen of
the amount due on all names returned by him or her. Where it is desirec to
discontinue a subscription before the close of the contest, the Clubmaker nay
do so by paying the amount due at the time of such discontinuance. Whei a
subscription has been paid In full, it cannot be discontinued. The Clubmacer
however may, if he sees proper, transfer the unfulfilled portion of the subscttption
to another subscriber, provided the person to whom the transfer is to be r
made was not a subscriber at the time the original name was entered on tur *
books.
No name will be counted in competition for a premium until the subscription
price lias been paid, nor will any premium be delivered until the Clubmaker
has either paid or made satisfactory settlement for all the names on the 4
Club. ^
In case of contention by two or more Clubmakers over the right to a
name, preference will be given to the one who pays for the name FIRST; but
where both pay, we shall not attempt to decide the matter except by crediting
the name for one year for each such payment.
After a name has been entered on our books, no transfer will be permitted.
This is positive and emphatic, and where Clubmakers attempt to make
such transfers, they must concede bur right to take such steps as may seem
necessary to protect the fairness of this provision. The Ciubmaker who returns
names must pay for them. Clubmakers who try to return and pay for
names already regularly returned by others will be called down, especially if
there is evidence of an understanding between the Clubmakers. This is not
for the protection of the publishers; but as a guarantee of the fairness of the
competition. ^ ^ ^
Any and all Clubmakers will have the rignt to uet suuswuiers nercv?--r
They Can. Ir is not necessary that all the names shall go to the same postofflce."
The fact that a name was returned on a certain club last year does not
give that Clubmaker a right to return it this year.
All subscriptions must be forwarded to us at the expense of those sending
them, and we will be responsible for the safe transmission of money only when
It is sent by Draft, Registered Letter, Express or Postoffice Money Order.
In sending the names. Always give correct names or Initials, and present
postollice address, and if possible say whether the subscribers are NOW taking
the paper. Careful observance of this will be the means of avoiding much
trouble and confusion.
In case of a tie for either of the competitive premiums, TWO WEEKS will m
be allowed for the working off of the tie. ^
After the close of the contest on SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 1915, at 6 p. m..
the price of a year's subscription will be $2.00, unless New Clubs are formed. V
