Nothing has been j j dene as to land armaments?each country is left free to maintain as I large a standing army as it can | support. An agreement was enjsT tared into to scrap a few battle ships. But battleships have been made obsolete by the develop- j, meat of aircraft. A battleship to- J day is a liability rather than an , asset. The conference discussed 1 rules to govern future wars, but any intelligent school boy knows that it will be difficult if not impossible to live sp to any rules if i another war comes. When an in- i dividual or a nation is fighting for its life rules are discarded. The conference was largely if not wholly a failure and we^may as well admit the fact. No one nation was wholly to blame. There is blame enough for all to share in it. < ? Twenty-one million quarts of liquor were seized by federal prohibition agents in 1921, according to a recent compilation. The same authority says 40,000 people were , arrested for the unlawful making , or selling of liquor last year, and mat 12 million dollars' worth of property was seized because it ?.*s bemg used for unlawful sale or manuraeture of liquor. Some people will aay that these figures ( \ ? Miow that the prohibition law is jjyN| "Slot being enforced. Others will claim to the contrary. The truth is tHat liquor is on the run. it has been outlawed by statute, i and while prohibition enforce nient .is not-yet perfect it is making progress. A man who maizes his living working at the carpenter's trade ' ordered Borne tools not long ago from a - mail order house. He thought he could save a few cents, \ but when the tools came he fouud thpt they were of inferior quality and' that he had been stung. This ] man made his living by building houses for the people in the town in which he lives. He will make his living that way in the future. But he will never build a house for ' the mail order man. He should five his .trade to the home mer chant who shows his appreciation , of home prosperity by advertising in the local paper. <* - Twelve hundred miles of railSSroad in the United States were abandoned during 1921. This may be a surprising statement, but it : is a surprising statement, but it not done long ago. The aban uoueu inueage consist ea 01 snori line roads in sparsely settled sections of the country and having a small amount of traffic. The %. roads ewe abandoned because they could not be made to. pay expenses. They never had paid. The fact is that many railroads ' in this country are economic mis takes. , They ' cost too much to build and they cost too much to operate. The general improvement, of Ahf public highways and 1 the development of automobiles and motor trucks have played 1 ; havoc With many railroads. They have been losing in both freight,' * and passenger traffic. Apparently ! there is no hope for some of them and we may look for a .further ' loss in the country's railroad mileage before the end of 1922. Another thing we don't under-fjj stand is why conceited people < . seem to get along just about as well as the rest of us. m ? ' ! ' \ The. average man who lives to < old*.age spends two years of pre- i eioui life in putting on and tak-'t ing off his clothes, while women j who live do the same age waste ,i ten years, declared a lecturer in*' ^ London the other day. Assorting that clothes are a cause of unre- ? deemable waste, ih? speaker said < people were always glad to es-ji Pcnpe frdm the restraints 6f civili- c xalion.

That was 19,000 more than in 1920. Tuberculosis killed 122,000 in 1921. That was 10,000 Less than in 1920. Health campaigns are slowly getting - the 14 great white plague ""under control. Cancer's victims numbered 89,000 in 1921, or 5,000 more than in 1920. In its early stages this disease, we are told, is curable. Our chances of dodging these and ' ull other diseases ar^. increased by the common sense rules of living: plenty of fresh air and sleep, good plain food, and not too much of \ it, outdoor exercise, and no over- , strain. People now recognise that ; it is-better and easier to prevent disease than to cure it and are living accordingly. 80H00L HONOR ROLL. In handing in to The Times the honor roll of the Fort Mill graded Bchool for the quarter ending January 13, F. M.

Mr. Mack urges parents to makes every effort to get their ' children to school on time, which. * he says, is important for several reasons: Tardiness lowers the morale of the pupil and injures .ne 1 discipline of the school. It is a I tax on the time and patience of * the teacher, while punctuality is 1 a virtue and indicates strength of | moral fiber. Habitual tardiness ' with no valid excuse trains the ( pupil in habits of carelessness j which quickly . undermine the 1 character. ' Parents also are urged to join ^ the Parent-Teacher association, t "We meet the first Tuesdav in * every month, discuss the needs of * the school and ways to meet * them and enjoy a abort program 1 given by the pupils and teachers," ? lays Mr. Mack. The second quarterly 'confer- c mce of the Port Mill Mfethodist n sharge will be held Sunday after- e noon at Philadelphia Methodist i: huroh at 3-.30 p. m. The sermon t rill be by the Rev. G. C.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES. e Although only two weeks of a he present session of the Legisla- c lure are'left, the body is equally t in the dark with the pubUe as to 1 kvhelher the levy for State purpo- a ses will be reduced this year. Nu- i norous bills to raise revenue from f lersonal and intangible properly f luve been offered?to relieve real property of the major por* ion 6f the tax burden, according ? ;o the recommendation given the f jills by their proponents?but as * yet most of these bills lack the c sanction of the senate and until ? hat body disposes of them there ? ia no telling how much revenue t they will produce and what, the ? ievy actually will ne. it tnere i were no slips 'twixt the cup and t he lip, if things were what 1 hey seem, and there was no such f rhing as misrepresentation, one i sould afford to take the word of t hose who are saying that the tax t ievy of 12 mills for 1921 will be s educed to 6 mills for 1922. There I las been a deal of politics? played i n the Legislature, principally in ^ he house, this year, and most of 1 t so easily discernible that its i lisguises have failed to deceive 1 inyone. Here is the member who * las readied the conclusion that t le is a man of important parts 1 ind that he is doing the people t tn injustice by not giving them I in opportunity to push him a F ung or two higher on the politeal ladder. He has decided to un for Congress or State office text summer. In the campaign * lie burthen of his song will be 8 iow gallantly he fought to shift ( axation from the masses to those!11 setter able to pay it and he will ;all upon some bill or bills he inrodueed this year to witness his patriotic efforts. Maybe he will jet away with it, and maybe he 1 von't. Sometimes the people are tot bard to fool. Admittedly there isn't quite to much prosperity abroau as here was a year or two ago, but he l'act does not deter first one iiul then another ^froro calling lpon the Legislature to make appropriations for odd purposes, t'rof. Carson of the University of 3outh Carolina is interested in esablishing in Columbia a wireless telephone station from which he lays market reports, higil grade nusic, public speeches, etc., from Northern cities will be available throughout the State if substations are built. Pfof. Curson j is* muueHi in pis request?ne oniy asks the Legislature to put up 1 J,500 bucks to help finauce the proposition. Many farmers in the lower section of the State did not tuake enough cotton last year to ttuff a quilt and not a few of theui are just now hard pressed to find food for their families and selves, but these same farmers are expected to agree that a wireless 1 station to be otlilt in Columbia by taxation for the amusement and edification of a few people on the university.cuinpus is an absolute necessity.

Until work was begun on he county supply bill a few days igo, the members were confident hey could grant most of these rejuests without increasing the evy, but the totals tell a differ>nt tale. The York county levy s now 6 mills, which is lower han that of any other county in he State, save one or two of the mailer ones. The delegation ap>reciates the importance of the mproveraents it is asked to proride funds for and hopes to ar'ange to finance these iinproveuents without increasing the levy, nit Yf the contemplated arrangenents cannot be made some of he improvements will have to go y the hoard for the present year: I he people will not be asked to I >ay more taxes for county pur- ' >oses. v ? ? 9 Willard 0.
