tumorous Jrpartmrnt. Shade of Chopin!?A concert agent had sent to the printer the programme for a big concert he was organizing At the last moment a very gteat personage died. The programme was already in type and the proofs passed but as soon as the news reached him the agent decided that Chopin's "Funeral March" must be included as a sign of respect, among tne nems performed by the orchestra. He telephoned to the printer to ask him to make the addition. The printer said he would try. "What do you want to add?" he said. "Not much," said the agent. "I only want you to put in at the beginning of the programme. "Funeral March,' by Chopin."" And he carefuly spelled Chopin so that there could be no mistake. "All right," replied the printer. "1 tninK we can muite u. The agent heaved a sigh of relief, but when a copy of the programme was thrust into his hands on the night of the concert, his hair stood on the end. His message, it appeared, had got a bit addled over the telephone, and at the beginning of the programme the horrified agent discovered that the printer had made the concert open with: "A few remarks by Chopin."?TitBits. Taking It All.?"Before I agree to undertake your defense," said the eminent criminal lawyer, "you will have to tell me the whole truth. Did you embezzle the $100,000 you are accused of having taken?" "Yes, sir." replied the accused man. "I'll not attempt to conceal the fact from you. I stole every cent of it." "How much of it have you still?" "It's all gone but a couple of dollars." "Young man," said the eminent lawyer, buttoning his coat about him and putting on his gloves, "you had better plead guilty and throw your self on the mercy of the court." 'Til do it if you say so, sir. What are you going to charge me for the advice?" "Two dollars."?Ladies' Home Journal. He Could.?A man walked into a barber shop and removed his hat and coat. He was evidently in a hurry, says the Columbus Dispatch. "Can you shave me if I do not remove my collar?" he asked, impatiently. "Yes, sir," said the obliging barber. The man took his seat in the chair, and the barber prepared for business. As he surveyed his customer he noted that the hair had all gone from the top of his head and that his hirsuite adornemcnt was limited to a fringe of hair above his neck. Then the barber spoke, as he drew the cloth around his customer's neck and fastened it at the back: "And I think I could cut your hail if you did not remove your hat." That Sinful Printer.?Unobserved and unannounced, the president of a church society entered the composing room just in time to hear these words issue from the mouth of the boss printer: "Billy, go to the devil and tell him to finish the 'murder' he began this morning. Then kill William J. Bryan's 'Youngest Grandchild' and dump the 'Sweet Angel of Mercy, into the hellbox. Then make up the 'Naughty Parisian Actress" and lock up 'The Lady in Her Boudoir." Horrified, the good woman fled from that place of sin, and now her children wonder why they are not allowed to play with the printer's youngster. Real Financiering.?Sloane Gordon. one or rne oesr Known magazine wi iters and war correspondents and who is now on his way to Russia for the National News bureau, met an old friend during a visit to Chicago. The friend, since Gordon had seen him, had gathered in a fortune of several millions of dollars. "Gee!" sighed Gordon, "it must be great to be a big financier and have all the money you want." "Financier nothing!" blurted out the wealthy man, "I'm no financier now. Remember when I was working in Cincinnati for a hundred a month and paying rent and buying food for my family and spending money among the boys? Then is when I was the real financier." Victress.?"Madam," said the man in the street car, "I know I ought to get up and give you my seat but unfortunately I've recently joined the Sit Still club." "That's all right, sir," replied the woman. "And you must excuse m?for staring at you so hard: I am a member of the Stand and Stare club." She proved herself so active and conscientious a member that the man began to feel uncomfortable und.-i her gaze. Finally, he rose and said: "Take my seat, madam; 1 guess I'll resign from my club and join yours" ?Boston Transcript. Not Very Steady.?A furm hand had worked in the Held from dawn till darkness, doing the chores by lantern light. "I'm going to quit," he said to the farmer at the end of the month. "You promised me a steady job." "Well, haven't you got one?" was the astonished reply. "No," said the man.

If the money available from the sale of its 1913 cotton crop, including the seed, had been the only means of paying for agricultural products of other states brought into South Carolina in that year, there would have been a deficit as a result of the farm ing operations in the state. ine vaiue j j of the cotton crop was $103,660,000. From that sum had to be deducted, of course, the cost of making the crop, amounting to $40,000,000 and including, without doubt, quite a large portion of the agricultural products brought into the state. According to an estimate of State Commissioner E. J. Watson, the aggregate value of the leading foodstuffs and feedstuffs brought from other states into South Carolina is $86,309,158, itemized as follows: Canned goods $13,937,282 Flour 10,851,919 Bacon 10,677,071 Cornmeal, etc 10,160,693 Beef 9,021,000 Lard 8,263,000 Butter 6,400,000 Cor.i 6,000,000 Oats 3,000,000 Hay 2,351,789 Cheese 2,000,000 Mixed feed 1,846,404 Eggs 600,000 Cabbages 500,000 Potatoes 450,000 Onions 250,000 Total 586,309,158 In addition, several millions were sent outside the state for mules and horses and about 15,000 tons of foodstuffs, not included in the table, and embracing 2,466 tons of apples, 2,648 tons of oranges, 2,626 tons of peas and peanuts, 1,299 tons of melons, and 3,055 tons of other fruits and vegetables, were brought into the state by one railroad alone, making the total of such purchases at least 3100,000,000. South Carolina's experience in this respect is shared In one degree and another by all of the cotton-growing states in the south. Eleven of these states, which In 1914, raised corn, oats, hay and wheat to an aggregate value of 5639,353,000, spent in that year more than 3203,000.000 for such products brought from other quarters. If the proportion of such purchases to the total purchases of foodstuffs and feedstuffs prevailed In South Carolina in the preceding year prevailed in the cotton states generally, the total expenditures in the eleven cotton states for agricultural products brought from outside their respective borders would have fallen not far short of 3900,000,000, or only about 3100,000,less than the value of the 1913 cotton crop, with its seed. Are not such facts sufficient to turn the mind of responsible southern farmers to the wisdom of diverting some of their acreage and some of their energy away from all-cotton and into the raising of home supplies for man and beast, without losing time in trifling with such facilities as legislative attempts to control the planting v,f cotton? If they require other facts, they might study the results of oDerations of such bodies as the Eastern Shore of Virginia Produce exchange, a co-operative organization of farmers of Accomac and Northampton counties, Virginia, which handled 2,489,955 packages of products in 1914 or 334,684 packages less than in 1913, the reduction being due largely to a shortage in the sweet potato crop. But, in spite of the reduction, the returns in 1914 were $5,893,942, an increase of $1,110,031 over 1913. Among the members of the exchange a dividend of 10 per cent was divided. H-ere and there are signs of a movement in the right direction. In eleven cotton states, the area planted to wheat last fall is 7,271.000 acres, an Increas of 1,812,000 acres, or more than 33 per cent over the planting of the fall of 1913, and the area planted to oats is 4,355,000 acres, an increase of 1.903,000 acres, or nearly 44 per cent over that of the fall of 1913. The increase in the acreage in wheat and oats is something more than 10 per cent of the acreage planted to cotton in 1914 in those eleven states. This is a good beginning. A revolutionary change from all-cotton to extensive growing of other money crops cannot be expected of hundreds of thousands of individuals who know little about any crop except cotton, and whose knowledge even of that is suggested in the fact that the average cotton crop in th south is about one-third of a bale to the acre. But a bit of wise co-op?ration on the part of the most capable growers with * eir less fortunate neighbors oug' "? suffice to bring about a wides id determination to make a begin mg at least in raising foodstuffs and feedstuffs at home. If 100 all-cotton growers in ewry cotton-raising county in the south could be induced to recognize the wisdom of planting first of all, crops other than cotton sufficient to provide, directly or indirectly, food for their families and their animals before planting their cotton acreage, nearly 100,000 farmers would take an advance step toward the position of being fairly independent of this year's cotton market. They would, it is true, constitute but a small proportion of the total number of southern cotton growers when it is believed that they would constitute a leaven that ultimately would leaven the whole lump.?Manufacturer's Record. CHESTER BOY IN BELGIUM J. Lyles Glenn, Jr., Writes of Things in the Unfortunate Country. Chester Reporter Monday. The Chester friends of Mr. J. L. Glenn, Jr.. a Rhodes scholar at Oxford I'niversity in England, will b interested in the extracts below from a letter received Saturday, by Mr Glenn's parents. Hon. and Mrs. J. J. Glenn. As was stated in the Reporter several weeks aj?o Mr. Glenn, in company with ether American s.udents at Oxford, went over to Belgium to assist in the work of distributing: tli supplies sent to that destitute country :rom tin charitable people of th("nited States, and the letter (piotid from In !n\v is ti e 1 rsl received by his parents sii ce he ieft Rotterdam '111" letter received Saturday was written fr m Maastri lit in H dlnnd (the Germ n< do not allow the youn men to write from Belgian soil) ur.d was d.it'd .launary -4th.

It also made me feel absolutely I justified In my desire to work in Bel- t gium. The towns of Malines and Ep- \ peghem are badly destroyed. At Brus- c sels I spent four days in getting in- s structions and passports. I was sent c down to Namur to be with C. G. Bowden, a Rhodes man from Missouri <3 (also Swanee). I arrived here Decern- a ber 18th. Since then I have been at a Namur and around in the province I engaged in the relief work for Bel- I gians. m "At first there were only two of us t and we had quite a little difficulty r in breaking in with the local Belgian s committee. The Belgians are won- t derfully polite and nice, but not very s business-like. They talk too much and * act too little. fi "The day before Christmas, Mr. a Gibso.) of Rochester, N. Y.. a native of Alabama, arrived. We were quite re- 1 lieved to have an older man on whose t shoulders to put the chief responsibili- 1 ty. We also have an American from ' North Carolina in the office with us. c We have very comfortable offices and 8 I have a room with Mr. Bowden at ( the h /use of a Mr. Attout. a man ' whom they have put at the head of the d relief work for the city of Namur. I 1 do not spend any time there except 0 nights and get breakfast. S "Now, there is necessity for the t work. We are keeping Belgians from r starving. I have charge of the ship- r ping department and have protection c over the food. I have to submit a re- 1 port to Brussels of all American food J that enters our province. 0 "The German, with whom we have our dealings, is a certain Captain ' Schroeder. and if there ever was a r fine man, he is one. He works night 1 and day and uses his influence to aid ' us in our work. We have had dinner v with him several times. He speaks c English. He has been to Oxford as 8 well as visited the United States. I ' have also come to know another Ger- ^ man officer who is wounderfully inter- J esting. He eats two meals a day at ' the same hotel. "We have to speak French a good bit. 1 have absolutely no time to study French, but I manage to make my- f self understood. If I could study any I could learn in a few weeks. "We have in our office most of the q time a count who speaks all European r languages. He Is exceedingly nice and r has given his services to us entirely, j simply to aid us in our work. He is g willing to do anything to relieve the y people. The count, Henri de Leide- j kirk, has a beautiful country palace, g I was down that way on business ( Thursday and spent the night with t him. We are all going to take din- g ner there tomorrow (Sunday, January 24th). Capt Lucey. the head of the Rotterdam office, will be there. Capt. Schroeder, four of us Americans and the countess, her two beautiful daughters and her most Interesting sister. I find these people, that is. the count and his family, very Intelligent and interesting. The count has been invaluable to us as an interpreter. It is fine to see the bravery of these people In the trying times. Many of the better classes of the Belgians have given up everything for the more unfortunate. "Now, I am obliged to stay In Namur one week longer, for the boats are coming In and there Is no other American who knows how to handle them If I can leave then I shall do so, but would be falling down on a very necessary Job to leave right now. "I spent last night reading my mall. You do not know how glad I was to * get it all. The last letter that I re- * celved was dated December 28th. "I spent Christmas day in Brussels. < I was with Hawkins, the Massachu- t setts man. We had a very pleasant t day, but we were homesick. Went to c the Catholic service. The building. St ? Gudule, is beautiful and the music ' was good." < Mr. Glenn explains that he and his ( associates are in honor bound not to 1 give out any information secured i while they are engaged in this work. 1 He. therefore does not and could not 1 properly express any opinion one way t or another as to the probable outcome of the war or conditions existing In t Belgium except in a very general way. ? THE MAIL ORDER HABIT f How a Western Farmer Suffered 1 Through Failure to Patronize Home 1 Industry. 1 Saved money on one end but killed ' the home town and lost his property ,( value on the other?a striking testl-1( monial to the virtue of preserving lo- ' cal merchants. 1 Hans Garbus. a German farmer of ' Iowa, has discovered that the benefits ' which nppear on the surface as at- > taching to the mail order plan sometimes spell disaster and has written 1 a very interesting story of his views 1 in a certain farm paper. Here is a 1 part of his story: ' "We farmers need awakening to the ' fact that we have unmistakably reached the period where we must think ' and plan. I am one of the slow Ger- 3 man farmers that had to be shown, < and I am now giving my experience ( that others may profit for knowledge ? is more expensive now than ten years < ago i "Twenty-nine years ago, I began my 3 farm career.

We rented eighty acres. Be- 1 ing a boy of good habits I got all i needed machinery and groceries of 1 our home merchants on credit, until ? fall crops were sold. The first year < was a wet season, and I did not make ( enough to nav creditors.

Our little ?untry town supported a library, high ichool, ball team and we had a big elebration every year. "A farm near a live town soon loubles in value. I sold my 40 acres at i big advance and bought an eighty.cre farm, gradually adding to it until had 200 acres of the best land in owa. I then felt no need of asking farors and found it easy to patronize he mall order agents that came alnost weekly to our door.

BRITISH WAR CYCLISTS ?lo Speed Limit for Motor Dispatch Riders?Lead a Hard Life. Omnipresent dust and equally ubiluitius cheerfulness mark the young nen who are motorcycle dispatch iders for the British forces, accordng to G. Valentine Williams, who decribes the work of these daring roung fellows in the London Daily dail. Mr. Williams had a talk with 1 score or so of the riders who were resh from the front, at a tiny French own which maintains the usual cenored anonymity. He says: "I am not concerned here particuarly with the performances of the notorcyclists' corps. Every general itaff officer with whom I have spoken a enthusiastic about the work it is loing, and as a corps it certainly has lot its equal in any armies in the leld. For the moment I am thinking inly of the spirit of those youngsters vho gathered around me in the circle if light thrown by the powerful lamps esting on their travel-stained mahines, eager, impulsive, high-splrit d boys, laughing at the layer of perol-scented dust with which hair and ace are covered, making light of the nlles behind them as of the miles to :ome, though a cold night and a rosty dawn lay between them and heir ultimate destination. Carry All Requisites. "Most of them had a rifle slung icross their backs; some had none, >ut a revolver was strapped to the eather belt encircling their dusty ivernlls. On the carrier behind them hey mostly carried a begrimed sack vith their possessions?a brush and romb, a toothbrush, sleeping things, ind shaving tackle, with perhaps a 'ew maps. Looking at them, so lutiful, so dirty ar d so cheerful, I >ould not help thinking of them?as nany of them were in London?the mmaculate motorcyclist of the sulurbs with the lady of his affections nstead of a grimy pack on the career behind. "All classes are represented among he army motorcyclists. Most of them ire undergraduates or public school loys, many have come from the oflcers' training corps, many are clerks >r shop assistants. All the varied accents of class and country are heard n their speech, from the studied correctness of Oxford to the homely burr if the west. But the most complete lemocracy exists among these knights if the road. Cliques and classes seem o have vanished when the blue and vhite armband of the signaling corps if the royal engineers?the emblem of :heir branch?was fastened to their deeve. "Doubtless, after the manner of Englishmen herding together, they lave also evolved their own code of nanners and customs from which it s not permitted to depart an inch. >ne thing I know: Anything like grousing' or shrinking is barred. I iffered a clothes brush to one bronzed t'oung man who was so smothered in lust that he looked as if he had been iropped Into a flour bin. He politely ieclined it. 'If you look properly Instv.' he said atioloarptlcjillv. 'thev'll see you've not been shirking, don't you know?' "AH the time we were talking more lusty and enthusiastic young men kept whirling in. A large convoy of irmy motor-lorries were parking for he night in the market place, and one ny one the lorries came lumbering tip. Every now and then a high pilar of dust would come skirting in uul out of the clumsy vans. It would eventually materialize into a perfectly ool and extremely cheerful youth, ivho was <iuite willing to talk about he war and his experiences and who teemed only to remember, as an tfterthought, that he had come 60 miles by road, had had practically nothing to eat or drink all day, that ALL ^ dealers ?1 he wan both tired and thirsty, and had 4 0 odd miles to go before daybreak. "His first thought Is his machine, which he honors with a comprehensive glance traveling from the monkey mascot in front to the back tire: then, learning that there is a newcomer fresh from England present, he wants to come into the circle and o r>\era rntto ucai iuc ncno, otwc" vio?? with a quiet bashfulness that is perfectly charming. "The life is none too easy. The motorcyclist has mostly to shift for himself; he moves too fast and too often to be provided for by the machinery the army arranges for finding quarters. On arrival at headquarters with a dispatch, after he has presented it and been dismissed until wanted again, he sets out to find somewhere to wash, something to eat, somewhere to sleep and where the petrol is kept. " 'No speed limit, thrills all around, an open-air life and lots of variety,' Is the way in which one of the motorcyclists summed up his life at the front. They are the gallopers of modern war, though they must stick to the roads (some of these daredevils tried to use their machines across open country with dire results). All fllrtnc thp atrnicht rnnria leading to the zone of operations you may meet them whirring by in clouds of dust?gone before you can bid them God-speed. Their total lack of sentimentality about themselves and their work, their unselfishness toward one another, and their disregard of danger are worthy of the highest traditions of the British' army." ^^Acid soils yield poor crops.
