America Is the Garden Nation April, with 33 largest number. homicides, had the Columbia, S. C.—Many expressions of satiefaction and praise, In regard to the recent tornado relief work, have been received by Ihe Red Cross State Advisory committee, said R. Q. Tar rant of Aiken, the committee chairman and thdse expressions, he stated, have been accepted by his committee to be passed on to the 6,000 South Carolin ians whose generous contributions and faithful co-operation and assistance have made it possible for the Red Cross- to restore conditions to normal so rapidly. Joseph C. Logan, manager of the southern divlson of Red Cross, after inspecting the work done, said that so far as be-could see, “the. South Caro lina tornado relief work represents an Ideal administration, w&ereby, .through good organization and real co- 'operatlon, the disaster sufferess got 'the full benefit of the service and the donations of those who wbuld help them." I Governor Thomas G. McLeod, an ex- officio member of the committee, said: “I express for all the people of South Carolina our deep and sincere apprecia tion to the American Red Cross for their valuable services in restoring famiVes and conditions to normal. From the hour of the tornado, this groat organization has been on the acrine with the necessary funds and trained personnel. In the difficult task of reconstruction, the Red Cross has tfiten our communities, without coat, the benefit of past experience in over 400 similar disasters, and has admin istered the relief fund and directed the relief work in a business-like and effl ■rfent manner which elicits our admira tion and praise." Mrs. Richard Williams, of Green wood, who is chairman of the steering committee of the South Carolina legis laiive council of women’s organiza- \tlons, says: "As wonderful as was the service •of the Red Cross during the dreadful World War, its peace-time activ'tiea must be considered no less important and eftectivo. W’hen the appalling liis aster of a few months ago swept over *uch a large area of our state, we real Ized as never before the untold advan tage of being organized and ready to tiftswer^any S. 6. S. call which might be received from those in distress." "The Question,‘Now that the war is over what use have we for the Rec Gross?' Is no longer being asked In bur community," she continued. ‘The ♦oral Red Cross chapter has conductet ' classes in first aid. homo nygiene and care of the sick, and in life saving tias held dental and tuberculosis clinio and has co-operated with the public health nurse at all times. The needy have been promptly and intelligently Aided without being pauperized; homed have been secured for homeless child' ren; and a far-reaching program o Assistance to ex-service men is beinj carried out." "The spirit of the Red Cross did no expire with the signing of the Armis tice,” Mrs. Williams concluded, "nor will it die as long as there Is human heed. Let none of us forget our obliga tlon to -see that this great army o mercy Is kept in a state of constant and adequate preparedness,” I Mrs. Leroy Springs, of 0 Lanc»ter who was nominated for the vice presi dency of the United States in the na tional Democratic convention by the iSouth Carolina delegation, writes: | "It may seem almost superfluous for ;me to offer any word of commenda- 'tion and approval of the work of the great orgaalzatlon known to the world ias the American Red Cross. Wfhen the icampaign for membership is made inext November, let us all do our part (to secure a large membership, so that tour state will be in position to do its ,'part in the program in South Carolina [Had in the nation." John J. McMahan, stite insurance • commissioner and candidate for the United States senate, writes: ! "I deeply appreciate the great work ithat the Red Cross has done recently in South Carolina and generally In all emergencies throughout the world. Everybody know* of the work." Mrs. M. T. Coleman, of Abbevill?, secretary of the state advisory commit tee and Red Cross f eld worker for South Carolina, reports that, in her visits over the state, she had heard nothing but pra’se for the manner in which the relief work has been accom plished. These and many other similar state ments received at the Red Croso re lief headquarters at Columbia sa c Chairman Tarrant, together with the numerous expessions of gratitude from individual storm sufferers, bear test) mony to the wide spread and general satisfaction over the recent relief work done by the various comm ttees, in conjunction with tho Red Cross and its corps of trained workers. "I am confident." said the state chairman, ‘‘that 1 can depend urou the glad hearted co-operation of every person in the state when the t;m-j. • comes next November to call the U o Cross roll for South Carolinians t aga n I nk themselves w'th this might * force for human welfare." By ICRS. JOHN D. SHERMAN, General Federation Women's Clubs. - - * G ARDEN WEEK, so successfully observed throughout the coun try the last two years, has become a national affair. It will be ^ observed every year until America becomes the Garden Nation of the World. Gardens mean a better home and community spirit, and a deeper ( sense of the meaning of good citizenship. The qualities of a normal and j harmonious life which makes for good citizenship are based upon health, | contentment, industry, tolerance and a spirit of co-operation. These are | crops that I hope will be grown along with the radishes and spinach when we plant gardens. I hope that some degree of contentment will-be found in our 1924 gardens. This state of mind is not entirely dependent upon pleasant surroundings but upon the inner serenity of soul. And nowhere can this be so quickly acquired as in the garden. All the wonders of creation are born anew in the tiniest garden. There the eternal cycle of birth apd re-birth goes on without ceasing. In the garden man finds himself ad mitted into the glorious enterprise of storing up the vital energy of the sun at his pleasure. He is in harmony with the universe. There creeps into his consciousness a friendly feeling for his fellow man. And little by little he loses his discontent and envy. There is no time in a garden, after the frost is out of the ground until the bulbs and vegetables are safe- ly stored for -the winter, to nurse a real or fancied grievance. As a sure, swift route to good comradeship there is none better than the common love of gardens. You may not agree with your neighbor on anything else, but if you have swapped tomato plants and watched them grow and talked over your garden plans together, you are friends. I hope that gardens will help to strengthen the family group. The greatest menace of our modern day is the disintegration of the family group. The garden will help to draw the members of the family to gether and to establish friendlier and closer relations. Irresistible Urge for Maintenance of Highest Possible Standards ■ T — — By CALVIN CObUDGE, in Washington Addre*. If we are to maintain the nation and its government institutions with a fair semblance of the principles on which they were founded, two policies always must be supported7 First, the principle of local self government in harmony with the needs of each state. This means that in general the states should not surrender, but retain their own sovereignty, and keep control of their own government. Second, a policy of local reflection of nation-wide public opinion. Each state must shape its course to conform to the generally accepted sanctions of society and to the needs of the nation. It must provide a workable similarity of economic and industrial relations. It must protect the health and provide for the education of its own citizens. This policy is already well recognized in the association of the states for the promotion and adoption of uniform laws. Unless this policy be adopted by the states, interference by the nation cannot be resisted. Throughout our whole nation there is an irresistible urge for the maintenance of the highest possible standards of government and society. Unless this senjtiment is heeded and observed by appropriate state action there is always grave danger of encroachment upon the states by the na tional government. But it must always be realized that such encroach ment is a hazardous undertaking, and should be adopted only as a last resort The true course to be followed is the maintenance of the integrity of each state by local laws and social customs which will place it in com parative harmony with all the others. By such a method, which cat! only be the result of great effort constantly exerted, it will be possible to maintain an indestructible union of indestructible states. The Man With a Vision Of a Greater State Political Adv.—Paid. Whose Past Performances Are Guarantees of Future Service Believes God-fearing men and women who raise up children in the nur ture and admonition of the Lord are what constitutes the greatest of a State; he voted in 1906 for the 10-hour labor law, would like to see the hours for women further raiuced that they might have more time and strength to de vote to their children. f Marshalled the arguments for 25c cotton in 1916, and for 35c cotton in 1917, and kept at it until both were realized. Warned those who wrote and talked about 50c and 60c cotton in 1920 that the Federal Reserve Board was against it.- Saved price of cotton seed at $70.00 ton for balance season 1918-19 and thereby caused seed to open higher in the fall of 1919. Saved the cotton oil mills and independent buyers from bankruptcy and farmers from millions of dollars loss that would have followed the withdrawal price of $70.00. All business is so interdependent and interwoven that a crash of the cotton oil industry would have brought a panic. In saving the price of cotton seed alone he benefitted the State by many millions of dollars.

The Ttegistering Piano | Holds Fast to the Institutions That Safeguard = Human Freedom By PRESIDENT SAMUEL GOMPERS, American Federation of Labor. As its name implies the American Federation of l^abor embraces in its struggles, its hopes and aspirations, the workers of all America, re gardless of race, color, creed, sex or nationality. It is a movement of the workers by the workers and for the betterment of all mankind. Unlike European labor movements it does not believe that the pres* ent social stfilcture must be first destroyed in (*rder that an improved social order may come into being. It holds fast to the institutions that safeguard human freedom and permit of the full play of human forces that have made for constant and helpful progress in all the sciences and arts of man. It does not accept or cling to any arbitrary dogma of ex treme individualism or collectivism. s It repudiates anarchism as readily as socialism and communism as affectively as monarchism. The experience of man has been that too much government is as bad aa too little government To strike an equal balance is the great task of all peoples and governments of today. Much of the woes and ills of the old world may be attributed to extremes being manifested on one or the other side of the scale. Fortunately, we of the new world, the United States and Canada, arc the present-day exemplars of that sanity and rea son so essential to safeguard the rights and promote the interests of the people. College Does Not Appeal to the Yotmg Girls of the Flapper Type By MARY E. WOOLLEY, President Mont Holyoke College. There has been too much emphasis on the college flapper of late. They have been pictured, in some quarters, as painted, jazzed up, smok ing, bob-haired scofflaws. My experience is that college doesn’t appeal to young girls of that type. £ven if some members of this class, which exists, to a great extent, in the imagination of certain pfcople who are always ready to decry the womanhood of America, do come to college, they soon find that college is no place for them. Generally they are obliged to settle down and work hard in order to keep up with the standards of the institution to which they belong. It is the duty of educational institutions to show young girls tha Christianity really means something. In this matter college authoritie? are on the defensive. We must interpret to youth the meaning of re ligjoniin the light of present-day needs. I hold, that the women of this generation have asserted their^elve^ intellectually, and therefore, are more independent Independence,' how ever, is not a fault though I would say it was a liability which needeo careful Watching.
