tumorous Jcpnrtmrnt. 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. . , n Limiltu Ulisipaiiun, .\ buiuh nrnpecked little man was about to take an examination for life insurance. "You don't dissipate, do you?" asked the physician, as he made ready for tests. "Not a fast liver, or anything of that sort?" The little man hesitated a moment, looked a bit frightened then replied in a small, pipping voice: "I sometimes chew a little gum."?Collier's Weekly. Like Emergency Currency.?Among the culprits haled before a Baltimore police magistrate was a darky with no visible means of support. "What occupation have you here in Baltimore?" asked his honor. "Well jedge," said the darky, "I ain't doing much at pn sent?jest circulation round, suit." His honor turned to the clerk of the court and said: "Please enter the fact that this gentleman has been retired from circulation for sixty days."?Oreen Bag. ?L.?

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.
