Rayo Makes Reading
A Pleasure
THE full tnellow ulovv of the Rayo Lamp rests
your eyes and makes reading a pleasure. The
absence of (flare and harshness will be a distinct relief
to you; It is this quality that causes scientists to
recommend the soft light of the oil lamp. The
is the highest point of per
fection in oil lamps. No glare, no flicker, correct
light always.
Rayo Lamps are easy to light and care for. Inex
pensive ? yet the best light at any price.
Your dealer will b? glad to show you the Rayo.

MARKETING WOW
- GREATEST PROBLEM
'? ' .V ' \
WB ARK LONG ON PRODUCTION,
SHORT ON DISTRIBUTION.
By Potcr Radford
lecturer National Karmorn' Union.
The, economic distribution of farm
proddcta la toduy the world's greateat
problem and the war, while it ha*
brought Its bardahipa, ha* clearly em
phautzed the Importance of diatribu
tlou as a factor in Amerlcau agricul
ture and promises to give the farm
era the co-operation of the govern
ment and the bualneaa men the
Bolutlon of their marketing problem.
Thia result, will, In a measure, com
penaate ua for our war loaaea. for the
bualneaa inturoata aud government
have been In the main asalatlng al
moat exciuaively on the production
aide of agriculture. While the depart
ment ot agriculture baa been dumping
tona of literature on the farmer telling
him how to produce, the farmer haa
been dumping tona of producta In the
nation'a garbage can for want of a
market.
Tho World Will Nover Starve. *
- At no time at nee Adam and Kve
were driven from the Garden of Kdeti
have the inhabitanta of thia world
suffered from lack of production, but
some people have gone hungry from
the day of creation to thiB good hour
for the lack of proper dlatributlon.
Slight variations in production have
forced a change in diet and one local
ity has felt the pinch of want, while
another surfeited, but the world as a
whole has ever been a land of plenty.
We niw have leas than one-tenth of
the tillable land of the earth's surface
under cultivation, ' and we not only
have thia surplua area to draw on but
it Is aafe to estimate that In ctoae of
dire necessity one-Salf the earth's
population could at the present time
knock their living out of the trees
of the forest, gather It from wild
vines and draw It from streams. No
one should become alarmed; the
world will never starve.
The consumer has always feared
that the producer would not supply
him and hio fright has found expres
sion on the statute books of our states
and nations and the farmer has been
urged to produce recklessly and with
out reference to a market, and regard
less of the demands of the consumer.
Back to the 8oil.
The city people have been urging
each other to move back to the farm,
but very few of them have moved.
We welcome our city cousins back to
the soil and this earth's surface con
tains 16,092,160,000 idle acres of till
able land where they can make a
living by tickling the earth with a
forked stick, but we do not need them
so far as increasing production Is con
cerned; we now have all the producers
we can use. The city man has very
erroneous ideas of agricultural condi
tions. The commonly accepted theory
that we are short on production is all
wrong. Our annual increase in pro
duction far exceeds that of our In
crease in population.
The World as a Farm. - ? j
Taking the world as one big farm,
we find two billion acres of land In
cultivation. Of this amount there la
approximately 750, 000*000 acres on the
western and 1,260,000,000 acres on the
eastern hemisphere, in cultivation.
This estimate, of course, does not In*
elude grazing lands, forests, etc.,
where large quantities of meat are
produced.
The world's annual crop approxi
mates fifteen billion bushels of ce
reals, thirteen billion pounds of fibre
and sixty-five million tons of meat.
The average annual world crop for,
the past five years, compared with the
previous five years, is as follows:
Past Half Previous Half
Crops ? Decade. Decade.
Corn (Bu.) 8,934,174,000 3,403.656,000
Wheat(Bu.) 3,622,769,000 3,267,626,000
Oats (Bu.) 4,120,017,000 3.608,315,000
Cotton (Bales) 19,863,800 17,641,200
Tne world shows an average in*
crease in cereal production of 13 per
cent during the past decade, compared
with the previous Ave years, while the
world's population shows an increase
of only three per cent.
The gain ^n production far exceeds
that of our increase in population, and
It is safe to estlmato that the farmer
can easily Increase production 26 per
cent IT a remunerative market can be
found for the productiC In textile;
fibres the world shbws ' an increase
during the past half decade In produc
tion of IS per cent against a popula
tion increase of three per cent.
j The people of this nation should
address themselves to the subject of
improved facilities for distribution.
Overproduction and crop mortgage
force the farmers into ruinous com
petition with each other. The remedy
ile x in organization and In co-opera
tion in marketing.

However, says a llrltlsh war corre

Is possible? I have inner found any
material difference In man's courage,
la1 lie white, brown or Mark, though
It assumes different forms ? I should
.say, without dlsres|>eot to our allies,
that the Frenchman is the most sus
ceptible to panic.
The French man's Imaginative quail
tics make him a bonny and enthusias
tic tighter, but, Just because he has a
vivid Imagination, Is he peculiarly lia
ble to lose his head ? and to lose It
\ cry l?adly. ? v
I remember being with the French
Foreign legion during the Moroccan
war when, late one night, the goums
{native wonts) eame galloping back to
rump with the news that the MiH?rs
were routing on In force.
Panic will seize men In broad day
light, but certainly there Is nothing
more favorable to Its development than
tlw? actuality or fear of an attack in
the small hours of the morning. The
alarm, as it so happened, was a false
one, but, the mischief was done. Sud
denly, instantaneously, like the drop
ping of a great black pall, fear fell
upon us, and these hard-bitten, reck
less "devils" of the Foreign Legion
broke and scattered.
1 dare say to the mind of many a
reader there will spring a picture of a
dlsohlored, yelling mob running this
way and that, but the picture, if con
ceived, would be false.
If one ran lay ft finger on any sal
lent characteristic of panic, it is that
panic-stricken men do not run. They
walk, or rather stumble, along, heed
less of whither they are going, so long
as it is away from the enemy. Also,
men in the Krlp of a nameless fear do
not cry out. Their tongues, like their
limbs, arc more or lesv paralyzed.
When- I meet a man who tMls me
that he" has never been afraid under
fire I know him to be a liar. Perhaps
in one's first engagement (he novelty
nil cxcitcment of the occasion coun
terbalances fear. But I am eertntn
thnt the oftener a mnn goes into ac
tion the more he is afraid, and it is
morale, discipline, and, above all, the
fear of being exposed as a coward that
keeps him from running away.
Another curious characteristic of
panic is the fact that, although the
retreating men may l>e fired Into and
harried and hustled, they will not re
taliate. In fact, they seem to wiHh to
be killed.
CREDIT GIVEN FOR HOME
DEMONSTRATION WORK
Hock Hill, Feb. 17. ? A valuable sub
gestion as to methods which may be
used for co-ordinating th<? work of the
school and the home is contained in a
report made to NVinthrop College by
one of the workers in the Bread Clubs :
"In the country schools the lesson
had to be given at one visit and the
girls were required to follow instruc
tions carefully at home and bring tho
article prepared to the school at my
next visit, to be examined and scored.
Sometimes we had the use of a neigh
bor's kitchen and had the lessou then
under my supervision. The members
of these country clubs worked under
mAny difficulties, yet, so great was the
interest, that not one failed to keep up
with the lessons during the enllce.
course. The teachers of .these schools
helped me very much by giving credit
on reports for work done in the cook
ing classes. Surely no subject is of
greater importance than this one and
full credit should be given for thorough
and earnest work along these lines, It
has been found in many instances that
girls, who Had previously done very
ordinary school work, became inter
ested in cooking and made good marks
and were thereby roused to greater in
terest and activity in regular school
duties, so tiiat an improvement was
noticeable along all Unes of endeavor."
