Chief Game Warden No appreciation of the problem facing the natural resources of South Carolina euh be had without a full understanding of the laws under which the game department functions. The Act providing for the chief game wurden, with amendments approved February 13, 1920, reads as follows: "Chief Game Warden?(1) The execution of the bird, game and nonmigratory ilsh laws .of South Carolina shall be by and under the direction of a commissioner to be known us the chief game warden. Said chief game warden to be elected by the general assembly of this State and then be commissioned by the Governdr, and shall, before assuming the duties of his office, subscribe to the oath required of public officers, and shall furnish bond in the sum of $2,000, to be approved by the governor and filed in '^ho office of the secretary of State. (2) The chief gume warden shall have charge of the warden force and exercise supervision over the enforcement of the laws. lie shall be empowered to make contracts with wardens; Provided, That no warden shall be paid in excess of $1,200 per annum, nor be allowed more than $000 for travsling expenses. And he shall have the power to dismiss the wardens at his discretion. (3) The State Treasurer shall pay out money from the game warden fund on the order of the state game and fish commissioner, and the said chief game warden shall make an annual report to the treasurer covering all moneys expended and he shall at,the same time make report to the governor and the genergl,assembly of the State, covering all matters relating to his department for each year he is in office. (4) The chief game warden shall receive the salary of $2,500 per year, with an allowance for traveling expenses of $1,000. There shall be no other chhrge on the Slate Treasury for any amount whatsoever not credited to the game protection fund. His term of office shall be four years." (The salary has been as high as $4,000 and is now $2,052, while the travel allowance has. been $2,;>00 and is now $1,600, all of which has always been claimed since 1920. A cross reference shows that, under the Constitution, officers elected by the General Assembly can be expelled only by a two-thirds vote of both the house and the senate, after a hearing with counsel, except that on presentation of a true bill by any grand jury he may be suspended until the next general assembly by the governor. Hence, there are no requirements for the honesty., fitness, ability or training of the chief game?warden, except that he takes the oath of office which means nothing if he is a rogue. The doors of the treasury are opened to him, yet his expenses are not verified. He is under no real supervision or control. There are no safeguards for the people's money nor the resources the department is supposed to administer, nor for the proper performance <?f his duties, and these duties are only vaguely defined, and in the absence of supervision could be avoided almost entirely, lbbo > no real control over his subordinates. and him-elf can not be removed except by a greater \Ote than '< taht < t" tied him.

WHAT CHICAGO HAS TO EXHIBIT Manifold Attractions of the Kxposition City. l'r?p?rc<l by National OeOKfttpblc Society, \Vnililnit0U, IJ. O.?WNl) Hurvlve. Chicago win be host ti?i? ?uminor to hundreds of thousands of Americans who will go to witness the city's spectacle of 1033?the gigantic fair depicting a century of progress. Chicago Is vibrant, an Intense giant among cities, dynamic \Vlth the spirit of growing youth. Its residents ure confident of Its destiny. The forces of uature and the puths of man, which mold the state of IUl* nols, center In Chicago. There national roads of earth, water, and air converge. In a.century It has grown from a frontier- stockade In a swamp to fourth place among world/cities. The traveler away from Chicago Is always told ahout his city. Chance acquaintances, from Kamchatka to 'IMerra del FuogO, exclaim: "So you have lived In Chicago without being shot!" and dubiously feel his vest to see If It Is bullet-proof. Chicago Is pictured as a wicked, turbulent city, a wilder West than tho movies over staged; yet the percentage of crime Is lower than that..of many cities with a more righteous reputation. Its crime and gunmen, while not to he smiled at as playful diversions, are no more representative#of the city, or of any other city, than the ejecting of a stray disturber Is the story of a convention's deliberations. They are surface growing pains of lusty young city. Whatever happens In Chicago has, In newspaper parlance, "news value," and the sensational nnd bizarre are remembered after the serious and prosaic are forgotten. Chicago lacks the glamour of age; It has no ancient ruins nor even timestained buildings. A cross stands where Marquette lundcd, the ttrst white man to cross the portage .between lake and river; but thut was only 21)0 yeurs ago. Of those buildings that stood on downtown LnSalle street 37 years ago, only one now remains. Growth pf a Century. The. white population around Fort Dearborn was massacred on August 15, 1812. In 1833 Chicago was a town covering two and one-half square miles. The first steamboat and the first Sunday school had arrived the previous year. On March 4, 1837, it had 4,<mhi inhabitants and was Incorporated as a city with ten and oue1'ialf square miles. It was swept by lire ou October 0, 1871. Today It spreads over 210 square miles, with more than 3,850.000 inhabitants. Chicago's yesterdays are the boyhood of Its men today. Standing ou the portico of the Field Museum of Natural History, qno gazes on a pinnacled city stretching Into the distance. It rises higher with the weeks. In front Is a green parkonly a few years ago a debris-strewn beach with a railroad on wooden trestles?cut by broad driveways, lagoons, and Islands nnd spotted with the ornate structure of the Art Institute, Shedd aquarium, Adler planetarium, Buckingham fountain nnd the perlstyles nnd pylons of boulevard entrances. On the other side of tfce museum l#?h stadium rivaling those of nnclent Greece. Boulevards, over land reclaimed from I.nke Michigan to give the city a front yard, stretch to the north nnd to the south.

Chicago has a hotel with 3.i**? rooms, nnd one of the largest Indoor sports stadiums. Convenient location brings a million vis itors to national" conventions each year The booster who delights in "bigger* also adds (bat it has a pie* belan gas tank which could be dropped like a candle snuffer over the 28-story Times building in New York. It Is a city of contrast. Its people reHeet\It, make the throbbing city theirs, scholars mix in politics and business men are artists. ' The city is thfc same structural panorama. In the corridor between Chicago and the Indiana line more industry and high* pressure rocreutiou ure mixed thau in any slmllur area in the world?steel mills, oil refineries, railroad shops, foundries and factories, with cppntry clubs, two race tracks, and a dozen golf clubs, wooing devotees to fresh air and sunshine. Under its pall of siuoke, smell of stock yards, and hum of aggressive materialism, Chicago has art, science, music, education, and .other factors, which add to the comfort and contentment of Immunity. It is Illinois Intensified. Ohlcugo is a musical city. One of Its music schools Is umong the largest in Americu. With more students than any other school of Us kind, the Art Institute gives Chicago-an assured place In art circles, put the fucfc that It has more sustaining members than most similar Institutions shows a city's appreciation of art. Great City for Reading. Chicago reads as It hustles. The American Library association classifies It among the great reading cities of the world. Its public library, revived by a donation from Knglniul after the liVo, circulates 14,000.000 books a year, though the number on Its shelves Is smaller than that In the New York city public library or In the Llbrtfry of Congress. For completeness In their special lines and for pntronage, students coming far to consult them, Newberry library of humanities ; the Crerar Technical nnd Scientific library; the Fine Arts library ; the A Chicago Beach In Summer. Library of Architecture and the Postgraduate library of the University of Chicago are among the noted reference libraries of the world. Libraries and schools nnd, more than all, the harmony of environment, have made Chicago an educational center of North America. Attendance figures nnd faculty rolls of colleges, or even a world-famed name, do not determine eminence in educational facilities; but, in studies made by the Association of American Universities, 28 universities were given the highest rating, and three are ' in Illinois?Northwestern, Chicago, and Illinois?while no other state hns more thun two. ! The unendowed university of the streets, where orators always have an audience and ideas are more often blznrre than sound, flourishes in Chicago. Washington square, fronting the Newberry library, and The artesian spring in Washington park have the largest, attendance of these open air night schools. Some Fine Museums. "Is there a museum or art gallery?" is it sightseer's first question In a new city. Illinois has such institutions to show th" parsing aires, several of them outstanding in their'lines. All of the llowits .-11,.i hirds that oiiec graced the sand and marshes which now are Chicago sursho in the glass cases of The Academy of Science in Lincoln park. The State Natural History museum In spi iticm ld goes hack even farther. A I wall in one of its halls is faced with stones starting with the Archean age, which the curator says was more than a billion years ago, ami rising In strata j to the pleistocene age, loss than t years ago. At the side of each stratum are paintings of the contemporary animals which roamed the eart h. Two of the tinest Lgyptian collections in the world are in Chicago. J'u-ld Mihi'iitn of Natural History, on the lake front, annihilates hoth time and space.

P The standard sweet potato curing house is the safest means generally of curing potatoes; but in sections of the state where tobacco barns are available these barns can with little additional cash expenditure be put into condition for satisfactory curing and storing of the sweet potato crop. ^Thereby these potatoes are mdde available for consumption throughout the winter and early spring and tho marketing season is extended to enable growers to obtain much more satisfactory prices than those prevailing in the fall. As on aid to farmers in this direction Extension Circular 124, "Sweet Potato 'Storage in Tobacco Barns," gives complete instructions as to pieparing the barns and curing the potatoes. It also gives general diVecI tions for operating ordinary curing houses. This circular may bo obtained free from county farm agents j or from the Publications Division, Clemson College, S.
