EDUCATION IS TAKING TOO LONG
An educator of some prominence
suggests that the schools run the en-*
tire year on the supposition that our
portion of education would be obtained
more quickly. This, he says, would
benefit the race by get tin;: us past
the preparatory period sooner and
gire us a chance to start oit in life
at an 'earlier day.
There is much room for speculation
in the suggestion. A mat or woman
bent on acquiring a college education
reaches the age of 25 or there
abouts before ne or sue is past toe
learning stage; then the battle with
lite begins, the stress of getting a toe
?holg-tnr the chariot of success. After
some years of work angling for position,
place, power and filthy lucre,
sufficient headway ig made o permit
$ of marriage. By that time the highly
educated parties ore about SO years
of age.
deferred marriage creates a serious
biological and sociological problem.
And if the so-called higher education
is at fault, perhaps we can with profit
prune a bit on the length of years necessary
to acquire so much education.
For a generation or two th? pendulum
has swung toward super-education;
the time is probably soon here
when the pendulum will swing toward
practical, condesed and concentrated
education that will eat up
fewer raluable years of life.
CHEAPER MEAT UNLTiELY.
Consumers probably are not enthusiastic
about the prospect of reduced
priceb for meat. It seems tlat lower
prices in the future are unlikely, and
for the simple reason that the increase
in population is vastly outstripping
the increase in meat pro-i
duction.
It *eems funny that we crnnot get
our meat producer^ to keep up with
the demands, but it is explained by
the fact that the large ranges are
t>eing changed into lands very rapidly,
and the land that is utilized in the
production of wheat cannot be used
for grazing purposes.
In 1900 there were 660 head of
cattle for every 1,000 persona, but today
this has been reduced to 350.
In the case of bogs, in n ne years
the number has dropped from 800 to j
00 for each thousand persons; I
sheep from 880 to 450.
The capacity of our ranges is de-'
creasing and any increased meat
production must come from the farms
where the cost of production is much
greater than on the range.
Meantime meat consumption in the.
nation is steadily increasing
There seems to be np way out of
the dilemma. It will be necessary
for farmers hereabouts t0 join the j
procession and raise as many meat
animals as they possibly, can. Every
little bit will help. It is getting so
that some farmers will noi be able
to buy their meat, but will have to
raise it themselves if they want to
be economical.
Masonic Meeting.
There will be a special meeting of
Mackey Lodge Friday nigh\ April

Report of Manager of Dillon Count/
for Jewish Relief Fund.
Hereinafter will be found a report
' as per school district of the money
'and pledges collected in the Jewish
'Relief Campaign fund in Dillon coun
I ty. This report covers all amounts
collected up to and through April 14,
1919. Some school districts have not
yet reported and we are in hopes that
when all the reports come in that
Dillon county will have subscribed its
quota, the total amount of same being
$1,500.00, fcs will be seen by
the list hereinafter. This total amount
has not yet been reported or collected.
We are in hopes that when all the
reports come in we will be very nearly
over the top. If not over. Some
work is still being done and if the
people respond in the next day or
two the quota for Dillon county will
have been reached.
I wish to congratulate the managers
who have made this campaign
possible for every one has become tired
of campaigns, yet the people have
responded very nobly for the suffering
women and children in Europe.
There are about three million women
and children for whom this fund
is being received, who are homeless
and without food or clothing:.

FIXING AUTOMOBILE VALUES.
Tax Commission Making Most Reasonable
Assessments.
In addition to the fixing of the
valuation on mercantile holdings this
year the tax commission Will seek to
make a systematic assessment of
values on automobiles. All of the
schedules have not yet been arranged
but if the commission proceeds on
the lines it started it is hardly possible
that automobile owners will
have any complaints to make.
The commission will first arrive at
a reasonable value of each make of
automobile and the assessment for
lux.m.w purposes win ue ier cent,
of this.
At: idea of the vai j?'? ;?<a> be Had
from the following: The value of a
Ford 1918 foadster is fixed at $400,
and the assessed value for taxation at
|170, of a touring car of the same
year the actual value is $468 and the
assessed value $195. A Ford roadster
1917 model is valued at $250 and the
assessed value at $105, a touring car
of 1917 is valued at $.270 and the
taxable value is fixed at $115.
Other figures are: Franklin, 1918,
actual value $2,310, taxable .value
$970; 1917 model actual value, $1,290,
taxable value $540. Dodge, 1918
actual value $843, taxable value
$355; 1917 model, actual $610, taxable,
$255, Packard, 1918, actual val
ue $440, taxable $1,848; 1917 model
actual $2,400, taxable $840.?The
State.
County Auditor Allen has been advised
by the State Tax Commission
not to enter upon his records, until
further advised, any stocks of merchandise,
lumber .plants or automobiles,
as it was the purpose of the
commission to assess and equalize for
taxation the items referred to above
during thip year.
