Italy has entered the war.

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 com. Why
not 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

that she tried against Franee in
^ the beginning of the war, name
lv that the first blow shall be a
decisive one. Unless we have
over estimated the strength and
skill of the Italian army, Gerv
many will fail again 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 ihose who vote
* for war should be called out
Lfirst. It is seldom that we agree
with opinions of the Appeal, but
somehow that idea strikes us
favorably, cohere would he 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.
How frequently do we see roads
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 crocpdile 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
fr?r tlm
>v> >iiv unanunuiy conamons existing
in Pageland, and in almost
every other small town
and in the rural districts. God
hgq Kiveq ut a knowledge of
these preventable diseases and
has given us the means with
which to combat them. If we t
fail, *be fault is ours and not
God's. The blood of our loved '
i ones is upon our hands, and we
dare not charge it to God. '
Horse manure is the favorite 5
breeding place of the nasty flv. r
An ordinance should force all y
owners of horses to clean the r
stables regularly and frequently
and to use borax to aid in pre- '
venting flies. Another ordi- *
nance should force every prop b
erty owner to ke6p his prem- h
ises clean and to screen his
closet. ^
The time for action has come.

Good Advice. c*
o
A woman ran her husband's
paper a week while he was ja
away, and said, "We also feel
the trouble and woes a woman e{
undergoes when she marries a tQ
country editor. They are as
snakes and wear more patched q
clothes than a railroad hand.
Their darning: is enougfa to keep c
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, g:irls, and don't
marry a country editor."?Ex. c<

I I?Introdi
"Know America" is a slogan that a
should ring out from every school a
room, office, farm and shop in this na- h
tion. No man can aspire to a Higher t
honor than to become a capable citi- u
zen, and no one can merit so dlB- f:
i tinguished a title until he is well in- r
formed of the resources, possibilities
1 and achievements of our country. a
? This is a commercial age and civ- e
* ilization is bearing its most golden fl
fruit in America. We are noted for t
' our industrial achievements as Egypt 8
^Kfls noted for her pyramids; Jerusa- j
lem for her religion; Greece for her ^
* art^ Phoenicia for her fleets; Chaldea v
for^ her astronomy and Rome for her c
laws. Likewise we have men who will
go down in the world'p history as pow- u
erful products of their age. For, stand- ^
f ing at the source of every gigantic
movement that sways civilization is a
great man. The greatest minds travel
in the greatest direction and the com- 11
mercial geniuses of this age would a
" have been the sculptors, poets, phil- 8
3 osophers, 'architects, and xartists of ^
earlier civilizations. 1

RURAL SCHOOL TERM
SHOULD JEjXTEM
By P P. Claxton,
U. S. Commissioner of Education.
In most States school -days foi
> country children are fewer than foi
City children. The average length o
school term in cities of the Unitec
rfitates is one hundred and eighty
pDve days; in rural communities on<
hundred and thirty-eight dayB, a dif
ference of forty-seven day^. In som<
States the difference is much greatei
than this^average. In many countie:
Jthe average length of the rura
school term is less than one hun
dred days, and in some districts it ii
ICS*. On the other hand, in th<
States of California, New 'York anc
Connecticut, the country schools an
ill session one hundred and eight]
r flays in a year, and in several othei
States almost as long. The country
Schools of Rhode Island are in ses
Ion one hundred and ninety days ii
la year.
j If all children are to have an equa
| Opportunity for education we musi
leveft up the school terms of th<
^untry'and give to all country chll
wow given to city children. On?
Fnundred and eighty-five days ol
i schooling a year for all children wil
I not be too much. There are coun
h tries in which the schools, both foi
City and country, are,in session froir
two hundred and twenty to two hun
dred and fifty days or more in the
, year. American children need a:
much education as those of any oth
er country, and this applies to th<
rural as well as urban districts.
AN AGRICULTURAL COUNCIL
By T. N. Carver,
Professor of Economics, Harvard University
Every city has its chamber of com
merce or its Board of Trade. Th<
purpose of such an organization ii
to study economic and business op
portunuies or the city ana promou
enterprises which will help tp built
the city. Does any one know of i
good and sufficient reason why ev
ery rural neighborhood ought no
have a similar organization?
In Germany they already have sucl
organizations. They are generall;
called the "landwirthschaftsrath" o
agricultural council. Some student
'of the problem of rural organizatioi
are strongly of the opinion that sue!
an agricultural council is necessar;
before much can be done for the be)
terlng of rural credit or the markel
lng of farm produce. There is n<
object, for examplp, in having raor
capital in a farming neighborhooi
unless the farmers know without an
guess-work just how to use that cap
tal so as to increase the prodyctioi
and the profit of their farms. If al
the leading farmers of a neighboi
hood would lay their heads togethe
and talk over the situation and stud
the opportunities for new investmenl
they yould be less likely to mak
mistakes than if they work secretlj
as separate individuals.
