Italy has entered the war.
No, we can't tell you why, nor
can we tell you who can. It
musi nave neon lor about the
game reason that the others
entered?but when we come to
think of it, we can't tell you that.
Do you know, or does any other
man living know?
Pulling corn fodder is an ex
pensive practice. The man who
prepares now to have plenty of
hay without pulling corn fodder
is the man who makes most
money. The value of fodder is
lost in the yield of corn. Winnot
sow peas, cane, etc. and
have an abundance of feed that
is better and cheaper than
fodder?
From the dispatches from the
theater of war we are led to
believe that Germany will try
the same tactics against Italy
that she tried against France in
^ the beginning of the war, name
1y that the first blow shall he a
Wb decisive one. Unless we have
uvt-r esuinaieu me strength and
skill of the Italian army, Gerv
many will fail ana in to crush a
nation in a day.
Appeal to Reason, a socialist
paper published at Girard, Kansas,
thinks the question of de
claring war at any time should
be submitted to a vote of the
people and that those who vote
for war should be called out
i first. It is seldom that we agree
k with opinions of the Appeal, but
A somehow that idea strikes us
PL^ favorably. There would ho less .
said about going to war, and the
fellow who did open his mouth
would be in line for the first
battle. In other words, let the
fighter do the fighting.
Too many farmers use the
roads through their farms for
ditches to carry the water away.

washed and gullied because of
too much water brought into
them from adjoining fields.
Then there is a practice of
plowing right out into the road,
and especially is this noticeable
in the sandy sections. The
man who plows up his roads
from week to week and makes of
them a place to drag chunks,
roots, etc. has not learned to
regard roads in their proper
light. He forgets that his roads
are an index to his enterprise
and progressiveness.
Flies cause a large per cent of
the cases of "summer complaint"
among children by carrying
desease germs from the deposits
of filth near so many homes to
the food, drink and playthings of
the little ones. Other cases are
caused by these disease germs
in the shallow surface wells so
common thoughout the whole
Southland. The rains carry
filth from lots, stables, closets,
etc. right into these surface
wells. We stand idly by and see
these things go on, and then
when death claims his annual
toll of infants and adults we
shed crocodile tears and say we
can't understand why the Lord
has taken the dear ones from us.
Now is the time to clean up
and screen all closets and pro
vide receptacles for the discharge
of human excretions.
There is positively no excuse
for the unsanitary conditions existing
in Pageland, and in almost
every other small town
and in the rural districts. God
hqa given us ti Knowledge of
Daughter Born to Mr. and Mrs.
McAdoo.
Washington, Ma> 21?A baby
girl, the second grandchild of
President Wilson was born tonight
to Secretary and Mrs.
William G. McAdoo. She will
be christened Kllen Wilson for
the late Mrs Wilson.
The Secretary and Mrs. McAdoo,
who is the President's
youngest daughter, were married
at the White House just a
year ago. Mr. McAdoo went to
his office at the Treasury Department
for the first time since
he was operated on for appendicitis
nearly two months ago.
The President was at the McAdoo
home when his granddaughter
was born.
You Will Never Be Sorry
For doing your level best.
For being kind to the poor.
For hearing before judging.
For thinking bofore speaking.
For standing by your principles.
For stooping your ears to
gossip.
For being generous to an
enemy.
For being courteous to all.
For asking pardon when in
error.
For being: honest in business
dealings.
For giving an unfortuhate
perscm a lift. _ _
For promptness in keeping
vour promises.
For putting the best meaning
on the acts of others.
Good Advice.
A woman ran her husband's
paper n week while he was
away, and said, "We also feel
the trouble and woes a woman
undergoes when she marries a
country editor. They are as
snakes and wear more patched
clothes than a railroad hand.
Their darning is enough to keep
two women busy, while to share
their lives you must exist on
soup, and burn knotty wood
that comes in on subscriptions.
Take my advice, girls, and don't
marry a country editor."?Ex.

THE PENALTY OF
' CARELESSNESS
L By 8. W. IngllsH,
r Fire Prevention Kxpert.
Every time you hear the cry of
Tire!" you cah be almost absolutely
ftfe in thinking that someone has
been careless. Fires don t happen,
n'hey are the inevitable result of
Combinations of preventable things.
Btyhen analyzed to the last equation
K will be found that carelessness is
Khe root whence spring nearly ull

f-tBWhy not fight fires before they
Sirt? Why not so conduct your
J^bits and so keep your premises
nkat when tin- fire demon wants to
Suffer your savings as a sacrifice he
^MU'pass you by, just as those of
HKypt of old were passed over when
Hpte' sign they had been told to place
flyer their doors, were seen?
Too often when those who are
Fesponsiblo from fire cry out they
lire the victims of bad luck, they are
but paying the natural penalty for
their own carelessness.
r If you want to keep down your fire
\insurance rates, wage eternal war"e
against those things that ever
b eed fires.
RURAL SCHOOL TERM
SHOULD JEJXTENDED
By P P. Claxton,
U. S. Comtnissioncr of Kducation
In most States school -days for
i country children are fewer than for
city children. The average length of
Bchool term in cities of the United
States is one hundred and eightyfive
days; in rural communities one
hundred and thirty-eight days, a difference
of forty-seven day^. In some
States the difference is much greater
than this^averuge. In many counties
.the average length of the rural |
rBchool term Is less than one hundred
days, and In some districts it is
less. On the other hand, in the
States of California, New York and
Connecticut, the country schools are
.in ????ion one hundred and eighty
days in a year, and in several other
i States almost as long. The country
dchools of Rhode Island are in sesIsion
one hundred and ninety days in
I ft year.
If all children are to have an equal
opportunity for education we must
|e?e? up the school terms of the
bgwntry and give to all country chilBiow
given to city children. One
rhundred and eighty-five days ot
schooling a year for all children will
not be too much. There are countries
in which the schools, both for
}City and country, are.in session from
two hundred and twenty to two hundred
and fifty days or more in the
I year. American children need as
much education as those of any other
country, and this applies to the
rural as well as urban districts.
AN AGRICULTURAL COUNCIL
By T. N. Carver,
Professor of Economics. Harvard University.
TCverv cltv has its rhamher of com
merce or Its Hoard of Trade. The
purpose of such an organization is
> to study economic and business opportunities
of the city and promote
enterprises which will help tp build
the city. Does any one know of a
good and sufllcient reason why every
rural neighborhood ought not
have a similar organization?
In Germany they already have such
organizations. They are generally
called the "landwirthschaftsrath" or
agricultural council. Some students
'of the problem of rural organization
are strongly of the opinion that such
an agricultural council is necessary
before much can be done for the bettering
of rural credit or the marketing
of farm produce. There is no
object, for examplp, in having more
capital In a farming neighborhood
unless the farmers know without any
guess-work just how to use that capital
so as to increase the production
and the profit of their farms. If all
the leading farmers of a neighborhood
would lay their heads together
and talk over the situation and study
the opportunities- for new Investment,
they yould be loss likely to make
mistakes than if they work secretly,
as sepanjfe individuals.
CIVILIZATION'S
^ GREATEST TRAGEDY.
Extract from article by \V. I). Lewis,
president Texas Farmers' Ptiion, opposing
woman's suffrage:
"We are willing to join in every effort
to elevate woman but will assist
In none to drag her down. The descent
of womanhood is the most awful
tragedy in civilization As she sinks
she may, like the netting sun, tint the
horizon wtih the rays of her departing
glory. She may tenderly kiss the
mountain tops of her achievement
farewell; she may, like the sinking
aun, allure the populace with her
beauty as she disappears for tlie night
but when she steps downward, the
earth is as certain to tremble and
plunge into darkness as death is to

"Know America" is a slogan that
should ring out from every school
room, office, farm and shop in this nation.
No man can aspire to a higher
honor than to become a capable citizen,
and no one can merit so distinguished
a title until he is well informed
of the resources, possibilities
and achievements of our country.
This is a commercial age and civilization
is bearing its most golden
fruit in America. We are noted for
our industrial achievements as Kgypt
noted for her pyramids; Jerusalem
for her religion; Greece for her
art^ Phoenicia for her fleets; Chaldea
for her astronomy and Rome for her
laws. Likewise we have men who will
go down in the world'9 history as powerful
products of their age. For, standing
at the source of every gigantic
movement that sways civilization is a
great man. The greatest minds travel
in the greatest direction and the mm.
mercial geniuses of this age would
have been the sculptors, poets, philosophers,
architects, and artists of
earlier civilizations.
As Michael Angelo took a rock and
with a chisel hewed it into the image
of an angel that ever beckons mankind
upward and onward. Hill took
the desert of the Northwest and with
bands of steel made it blossom like a
rose, dotted the valleys with happy
homes and built cities in waste places.
As Outtenberg took blocks of wood
and whittled them into an alphabet
and made a printing press that
flashed education across the continent
like a ray of light upon
a new born world, McCormiek took
