LET THE BOYS HELP
There is a certain town in Pennsylvania
which is teaching its boys prac
tical citizenship and its getting immediate
results. It is not waiting for the
youngsters to grow to man'hood to
qualify as beneficial citizens, but is
getting big value for these citizens-tobe
today while fitting them for service
in the days to come. For boys of any
town are a force for great good if the
community will but interest them in
civic work.
Too often, the men and women think
that they must do it all. They haven't
time to create an interest in civic affairs
and improvements in the minds
youth. Let's put the boys to work for
Cheraw now; you'll be suprised what
they can and will accomplish.
The Pennsylvania town mentioned
organized its boys into a class in civic
education?in practical citizenship.
This rlnss studies some out of books
and some in classrooms during the
school year but their real training is
given them in actual field work. For
instance, they arc taken on certain
excursions to minicipal institutions,
where they personally inspect the
utilities of the community. The feature
of the classwork, however, is the work
in individual investigation by each
boy.
Each student receives a suggestive
program upon which to conduct his
own probing of conditions. He is called
oil some ill-paved street, a billboard
nuisance, faults in garbage handling,
children in the streets, defacment of
natural beauties, a dirty alley, a disreputable
vacant lot or some other
defect in public administration and
private conduct. Each boy then turns
in a series of observations on tnese
things as he sees them. He is urged
to suggest remedies. From thesereports,
the students prepare letters to
be forwarded to the proper authorities
or individual violators.
Cameras are operated by several of
the youth and they obtain pictures of
telling value in urging reforms. Some
of the letters are mimographed and
sent to various firms; for instance a
leiv?r ur.ls.g bus'.co tier to discontinue
! iilLo-?*? >'!?(> .ising was sent
to all iho'-p s vi t.tmoa Practical
methods of reforming unsalistarloiy
conditions are sfdi ?d with great interest
by these boys. The keynote of
the whole course of study is personal
responsibility for a better city; permanent
civic interest has been aoquir

COOPERATIVE FARM FINANCE.
Cooprative buying and selling, planting
and harvesting are more or less
familar to the American farmer, but
of far more general importance and
of more general affects to both producer
and consumer is the newest of
these agricultural movements?cooperateive
farm borrowing.
While Uncle Sam has been making
a study of farm loans with the intention
of passing laws to aid farmers in
financing their business some day, and
while a few states, some bankers and
several loan associations have adopted
some preliminary aid of the sort, the
farmers themselves have been making
their own investigation and at least
some of them have reached the point
of action. This was brought ont
effectively the other day when new
York bankers were asked by a Kansas
bank whether they could place a note
! fr>r sinnnn tr? run fnur months and
signed by a dozen prosperous Kansan
| farmers.
Of course, the Kansas men wanted
,the money to finanance their abundant
harvest during the next fewmonths.
All over the country, some
system of availeble money for this
period would result in less waste,
more profit and better service to the
consumers. Primarily, the point
raised by the Kansas farmers was the
urgent need for some sort of remedial
! agricultural loans for both the
planting of crops and the harvesting.
It shows why congress should not delay
action on rural credits. Hut the
propersition displays other more important
facts commanding attention.
While there was plenty of money
seeking investment in New York, it is
j unavailable under the old banking
j system for use of Kansas or other
farmers in time of commercial and
j economic need. The ;new currency
system will give the Kansas bank the
right to discount the not when presented
by the farmers without costly
delay, sending it later to the res< rve
bank for rediscount.
Of even more importance is the fact
that the Kansas farmers' note presents
a plain, workable example of cooperative
borrowing. A dozen farmers
sterner! the note for $10,000. This was
far better than a dozen individual
notes for $1,000 or loss signed by each,
and being better security, it deserved
a lower rate of interest than the
smaller notes could possibly have
commanded. Farm loans naturally
are for short periods and are small,
facts making necessary high interest
and other economic incoveniences. The
Kansas farmers, by their cooperative
movement, solved the problem for
themselves.
Biggest Rubber Tree of All.
What is believed to be the largest
! rubber tree in the world stands in the
Brazilian territory of Acre, on the
: frontier of Boliva. Its stem is 27 feet
j 2 7-10 inches in circumference at the
| base. For 120 days every year this
I colossus gives 22 pounds of rubber a
i day. At present prices this brings in
; $2,160 a year, or a fair interest on
about $50,000, to its owners, a family
I of seven Seringueiros.
Who Is
W. F. Stevenson
Mr. W. F. Stevenson, candidate for
congress, was the person to have
credit for the completion of our State
House. The Advocates of the bill
providing for that were beaton by
the economists in the house because
it would increase taxes. He came
forwardwith the proposition and let
the State borrow money from the
Sinking Fund Commission and repay
it at $15,000 a year. Build it and
pay for it on the installment plan.
The News & Courier says, referring
to the apparent defeat of the measure,
"Dn* litOfnt'nnonr> nomo tn tho I
Ulll IU1 I VJIC?CI1.1UU VUIU\/ IV VMV
rescue. He showed that the Sinking
Fund Commission had nearly $200,000
in bank drawing four er cent, interest.
Why not lend this amount to the State
at the same rate and let the State
treasury Refund it ,at the rate of
$15,000 a year. This would not increase
the levy of the State and would
not hurt the appropriations to the
otheir causes. The suggestion was
adopted by both houses," and the act
passed in that form and we got our
State House completed, which had
been standing half finished, unsightly
to 1899.
So one seemed to think of the fact
that this could be done. Originality!
initiative! is the thing of first imporand
almosy uninhabitable from 1804
tance in legislation. He seems to
have it, hence his name is linked with
the history of the State for 18 years.
Don't we need the same ability and '
power in the highest degree in Washington?
Give it a trial. In the language
of the medical world., "take a
trial dose." If it is not satisfactory
it will last only two years.
Cornelia Adeline McKay McLauchlin
j On the 26th day of Febuary, 1914, at
' her home in Cheraw, S. C\. Cornelia
Adeline, daughter of Sarah Adeline
James and Netll McKay, and wife of
Murdoch McRae McLaushiin, fell on
sleep. Hers was a rare nature. A
gifted and brilliant woman, she was
beautiful generosity, rich in loving
oppressed and sorrowing, the friend
i impulses and deeds, the friends of the
| loyal and friendship she held.
| Above all, the love and fear of God
was in her heart, with a faith unquestioning,
unwavering. '
She was a devoted wife and mother.
Before the childish heart could under-'
stand, she faithfully taought the Word
of God to her children, und much of
its precious truth was memorized at
the mother's knee. With her noble
husband she made a home that stood
for righteousness and the highest
ideals. Memory is steeped in fragrance
at the reccollection of this home
where God was honored, His day kept,
and its Christian influence and sweet,
gracious hospitality has been far-reaching.
To the children of his home
is left the priceless heritage of a fair
and unssullied name of a Godloving
and God-fearing ancestry, and it is
theirs to strive to follow the example
so faithfully lived before them by their
godly parents whose lives showed the
religion of Jesus Christ.
After only two months of separation
here, the wife was called to join the
beloved husband y whose side she had
walked in love and trust so many
years. The dear master showed his
signial favar in sparing them all pain
and suffering. Not even the "sadness
farewell" was theirs. Instantly
they were ushered into the presence
of Him whom they had glorified on the
earth and whom they were so ready
to meet.
They are together in "The land of
pure delight," where His servants
shall serve Him, where they behold th?
glor^ of the Father and worship the
Kinc in His beauty.

and show them My salvation."?Christian

Cheap Floor Stain.
A very inexpensive stain can be
made from burnt umber and hot water.
Five cents' worth of the burnt
umber will stain several floors; that is,
where a rug is used for the center. I
Pour the hot water over the burnt j
umber, little at a time, till it is thor- |
oughly dissolved. Use a quart of hot I
water to five cents worth of umber; i
that makes a pretty dark brown stain, j
Let it dry, then rub on any good floor
wax and polish.
