TliIh extract will Klve an Idea of the nature of the entire article. "The people should support and maintain and preserve the government ami not expect the government to support and maintain ihu people. The people have lost all sense of public morals The government treasury is regarded as a tuud to take as much as you can ft out. and not ever put anything in. government money belongs to whoever can take It. by guile or craft States, cities and Individuals arc engaged In a fatefid inssel to grab by fair moults or. I,,ill as much public money as possible. It's no defense that It Is being partially used for valuable public Improvements, for only a Hinall pait of It Is so used, and many of the socalled public Improvements are merely pretexts. One state, town or Individual will eay. they might us well get their share while the riot of spending goes on. This argument Is both puerile and dishonest. Where will it end? What will be the Until effect ,,M tho government and the Individual?

AN ARTIST INVENTOR On October 1. 1SS2, Samuel F. lb Morse, an American painter who had i been studying the old masters In Europe, sailed from Havre. France, for New York. On the voyage ho discussed with fellow passengers the properties of the electro-magnet and tho famous discovery of electro-magnetic induction by Faraday the year before. As a result, ho got the idea that signals might be transmitted by means j of electric sparks, and while still on) shipboard he made rough draPs of thej necessary apparatus, w hich lie showed I to Ills companions It was not until J is:ui. however, that he completed an Instrument that would work.

Such steels ure used in high speed cutting tools and for permanent magnet steel, observes an authority in the Chicago Tribune. The United States uses about 10 per cent of the world production of cobalt. It produces none. Imports come chiefly from Canada, Belgian ' Africa, and Australia. Munganese is used in small quantities in steel manufacturing to eliminate gases. One to two per cent of manganese in steel increases the strength of the metal. Twelve per I cent manganese steel makes an extremely tough metal that is resistant to abrasion. Small amounts ure present in all steels. Steel rails contain 1 to 2 per cent. Frogs, switches and dredge bucket teeth are made of steel containing 12 per cent manganese. The United States produces onfy an insignificant amount of manganese and uses about 20 per cent of the world output. Source of supplies are Russia, Africa, Brazil and India. Other non-ferrous metals used in making steel include molybdenum und vanadium. Molybdenum is used to produce a steel that is capable of being drawn or hammered out without losing its strength and toughness. It makes possible a strong steel that is particularly vuluable for tubing and certain machinery parts. The United States supplies 80 per cent of the world's molybdenum. Domestic consumption takes about 30 per cent of the world supply. Vanadium gives resiliency and strength to steel used in tools, springs, and machinery parts. The United States produces about 15 per cent of the total output and supplements its supply with imports from Peru and Rhodesia. 'Purebred' Descriptive Of Full-Blooded Horses The word thoroughbred is often, even in well informed circles, erroneously used in referring to a fullblooded breed of horses?when the correct descriptive term is purebred, writes Capt. Maxwell M. Corpening in the Chicago Tribune. Thoroughbred, rightly used, means a definite breed of horse which is commonly known as the race horse. The history of the thoroughbred is well known. The breed descends from the Arab, the product of 200 years of breeding for speed and size. The breeding still goes on. Not generally known is the fact that it costs much more to raise an offspring from a large, fast horse than from a small, inferior one. Thoroughbreds have a general range in size of from 14.2 to 17 2 hands (the hand being 4 inches) and 900 to 1,300 pounds in weight. Color varies greatly. * " The chief uses to which a thoroughbred is put are in the field of sports?racing, polo, and hunting. Usually it is much higher strung than a common horse and therefore more easily spoiled. Because of the long struggle to improve the Arab for speed, faults in conformation are frequently found in thoroughbreds. Commonest of these are small bones and not enough heart girth. Like their Arab ancestors, thoroughbreds exert little effort in motion, giving a comfortable ride. They have great strength, and their greatest asset ?endurance?has given rise to the expression, "A clean thoroughbred never quits." Caribs, Vanishing Race A vanishing race are the Caribs, Indians who made things hot for Columbus when he discovered America. Only a few hundred of them, living on the island of Dominica, are left today, scientists report. Dwarfish but fierce fighters, observes a writer in the Washington Post, Caribs came from Brazil's Amazon wilds to conquer what is now Venezuela, the Guianas, Central America, and the West Indies. Good seamen, they used canoes with sails. In reporting battles with these Indians, Columbus called them "Caribal," later corrupted into "cannibal," which the Caribs were. The same people supplied a name for the Caribbean sea. Thoy were finally subdued by Britain and French troops, who sent them Into exile. Only a few caribs managed to get back to Dominica later. Hardest Period in Life of Dwarfs The hardest period in the life of dwarfs comes with the first realization that they will never grow more. It comes when they are nearing the teens and when they find themselves outdistanced by their companions, cut off from games and sports of their larger companions, and obliged to seek their own mediums of entertainment. The fact is that they turn to their own methods of entertainment and develop along acrobatic, musical or studious lines 'Monkey Wrench Corner' Nearly every large seaport in the world has a "Monkey Wrench corner," a street intersection near the docks where sailors congregate to exchange news aad stories. The spot is so named, says Collier's Weekly, because it is usually crowded with unemployed seamen, or "monkeys," who wait there to borrow money from, or put the "wrench" on, those in better circumstances. Rules Giant 20 Times Its "Size Immentc Colonial Empire Of France Governed on Small-Town Set-up. WASHINGTON. I). C?The recent attempted general strike in France calls attention to the complex social and economic set-up that ordinarily runs the affairs of "flftymillion Frenchmen" and their huge colonial empire. "A* an individual European state, France is a compact geographic unit organized on the 'home town economic model," says the -National Geographic society. "Few French cities have a population of half a'million. Small scale and varied industries are widespread over the lund, some 90 per cent of all French factories hiring less than 100 workers each. National activities, almost equally divided between farming and business enterprises, are largely in the hands of petty property owners. ltules Territorial Giant. "Yet this nation of prpverbinl 'stay-at-homes,' with a reputation for caution, thrift, and domesticskills, is nevertheless the head a:id brains of a territorial giant whose members make up a foreign domain second only to that of Grea' Britain. Like the British empire, although little more than one-third the area of that colossus, French colonists and dependencies are scattered about the world's continents and most of its seas. "France itself occupies an area of something more than 200,000 square miles. It is the third largest nation in Europe; while abroad, the tricolor flies over an empire more than 20 times the size of the mother country, including an estimated <>5,000,000 people of many races, creeds and cultures. "To France?handicapped at home by scarcity of coal and other raw materials?these far flung possessions present a tremendous reservoir of still-untapped economic wealth. "The roll call of French possessions, dependencies and mandates around the globe reads like the index to a gazeteer. In north, central and west Africa are Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, the French Congo (or French Equatorial Africa), Senegal, French Guinea, the Ivory Coast, Dahomey, French Sudan, Mauritania, Niger, and Dakar?together with French Somaliland, a small patch of land on the east coast, and the major portions of former German colonies of Togoland and Cameroun, under the bulge of the Great west African shoulder. "Under mapdate, wjth promise of early self rule, are Syria and Lebanon in the Near East. In northern South America is rich, sultry French Guiana, with its penal settlement 'Devil's Island.' Then There's Madagascar. "Such oriental tongue twisters as Pondichery, Karikal, Chtmderna^or, Mahe, and Yanaon are French specks on the map of India; while Cochin-China, Annam, Cambodia, Tonking, and Laos making up French Indo-China, plus Kwangchowan, leased from China, are other Asiatic possessions. ^ "To all these far-flung continental regions must also be added a French island empire that dots ojen water from Corsica in the Mediterranean and New Caledonia and New Hebrides in the south Pacific, to Miquelon and St. Pierre in the North Atlantic, and Martinique and Guadeloupe in the Caribbean. "Madagascar, off the coast of southeast Africa, is something more than an ocean 'dot' of French territory. Bigger than France itself, and world's fourth largest island, it cov ers an area of some 240,000 squarr miles, with more than three million inhabitants. "In the French colonial empire are found most of the earth's prod ucts needed to carry on modern industry or warfare. During the World war her colonics contributed to France an estimated half million soldiers and workers, together v^th millions of tons of supplies. "Today, France seeks one answer to pressing economic problems Jat home in new and intensified drives to tap the resources of her foreign domain. The French Colonial office, according to news accounts, is now carrying out plans to build up trade, improve local politics, provide for the empire's defense, and in general develop its vast potential wealth in materials and markets." NEW WHISKY LAWS WILL GO INTO EFFECT Columbia. June 30.?A new trade code for tho whisky business In South Carolina, embodying stringent and far-reaching regulations, will go into effect tomorrow, It was announced today by VV. G. Query, chairman of the state tax commission. Thirty new regulations have been adopted by the commission, acting under a recent act of the general assembly. Copies of the regulations have been mailed to all dealers. The new code puts a rigid ban on the retail sale of liquor on credit and a wholesaler may extend credit to a retail dealer for only fifteen days. Wholesalers are required to report dealers delinquent in their accounts, and "the tax commission will at frequent intervals mall to all wholesalers a list containing the names and addresses of all delinquent retail dealers, and forbidding further sales by any wholesalers to the delinquents." "The granting of credit by a re^ tail dealer is strictly forbidden," the regulation said, "as is the giving of any free goods, samples, rebate, gratuity or other things of value as a trade inducement, or for any reason whatever" it provided, however, 'that a retailer may give a discount of 10 per cent to the purchaser of a full case or more." Other regulations are designed to eliminate price-cutting, both wholesale and retail. Liquor salesmen must hold permits from the tax commission before calling "upon a retail dealer for the purpose of soliciting, taking orders for, or selling alcoholic liquors." No brand of liquor may be sold in the state unless it has been "approved by and registered with the tax commission." Prices must be displayed in the retail stores and curb delivery is forbidden. Purchase by one retailer from another for resale is banned. "The sale of alcoholic liquors by a retail dealer to a person whom he knows or has reason to believe is buying for the purpose of resale is forbidden. Where a sale amounts to more than five gallons, and the buyer it shown to have resold any part thereof, the fact that the sale exceeded five gallons shall be prima facie evidence that the retail dealer knew or had reason to believe that the purchase was made for the purpose of resale. r No signs will be permitted on liquor stores, and advertising displays other than packages and bottles themselves will not be permitted in win| dows. The North Pole is moving southward at a rate of about six inches a year. JULY LIVESTOCK NOTES / In midsummer livestock need careful attention, says County Agent W. C. McCarley, who mikes these timely suggestions for July: Animal Husbandry: Keep hogs grazing on green forage. Arrange to turn hogs on corn when it is in the g'azed stage. Reserve some permanent pasture to be grazed by beef cattle In late fall and early winter. Feed the workstock three times a day. Change pastures for livestock if possible. Provide shade and fresh water for all classes of livestock. Observe the livestock for screw worm Infestation and give treatment, if necessary. Dairying: Mow pastures frequently. Destroy breeding places for flies, and use skimmilk-formaldehyde poison (3 gallons of skimmllk, 1 pint of 40 per cent formalin, 1 pound of sugar) in shallow pans to kill flies. As milk production falls ofT, supplement pasture with balanced grain mixture. Feed up to two pounds of grain daily to growing stock to maintain normal growth. Keep milks or cream sold for manufacturing purposes in barrel or tub of cold well or spring water. If retail milk producer with surplus at this season, dry off all low producing cows that are bred for fall freshening. Poultry: Keep mash before laying hens; it helps to keep their bodies cool and stimulates egg production. Reduce feed cost by culling non-lavers and not by reducing feed. Keep a grain feed before the pullets and don't start feeding a laying mash until the birds are at least Ave monthB old. If troubled with roup or chicken pox in past years, vaccinate pullets when two to four months old.
