MONDAY, APRIL d, IU22. NOT SO HAD, AFTER ALL. Tlio yoUMj? woman of today is no such a bad sui t .after all. True, tin piophcls of evil would have us be lieve that the modern young woman with i- garottes, short skirts and man nish airs is going headlong to tin devil. We do not believe it, not fo oiu* minute. The young woman of i m un ition or two ago was a wonde of ait and a demonstration of arti lie.al skill. She was almost useles save as an ornament, a thing to b petted, pampered and placed upon ; pedestal to be worshipped. She wa I uiv and sweet, that we will admit and that is something worth while ii a young woman, no denying. An when she married and settled dowi to be the wife and mother of a fain ily she shone in resplendent glorj Hut the young woman of a generatio or two ago was the slave of fashio and tlie slave of man. Her very soli was hound in the shackles of repre* am, of idiotic restriction. She wa chapcicited, guarded, petted, "dolle up,' idoli/.ed and dwarfed in mint Iv. in when she became the wife sh eld. in came into any greater freedoii "Wi\es, obey your husbands," was ei joined strictly and enforced rigid!; even to the very great perversion i that I'auline injunction. From tli cradle to the grave she was taugl that "home is the woman's sphere, that she must not be troubled cot cerning the great <|uestions of til hour, nor about the workings of th great economic, social and moral law out in the great, cruel world. It wa forgotten that when society deger crated woman was the first to feel it fetters of degeneracy; that when so diers fought, woman suffered; thi when business depression came w< man made the lirst sacrifice?she di without, for was she not protected i the sacred walls of the home? SI: was given little scientific education, being deemed unnecessary and n< just the thing for woman. Whe here and there, a woman, fired wil ambition, broke into law, mediein business men sadly shook their heat and predicted that feminine grace wi doomed and woman was marchin straight to hell. She was held uruh bondage to the idea that she ws m m"; chattle, a thing of beauty an grace, yet a chattle a thing. Mc arrogated to themselves the right t run the schools, churches, stores, shoj and government. Woman was to don inntc those things by being "quee of the home," and by refraining froi medal tig. There are many men wh evt n now believe that the emancip: lion of woman is a thing of the devi We do not so feel. The young womai contrary to predictions, is not one wh more charming now than formerl; (ii <i has put it into the heart of woma to desire admiration, to dcvelo charm, to make wives, and to beconi the heart and brain of the hoim .'nothing will ever destroy these trait: for they are by nature implanted. (Jo is wiser than man, and knew what h was doing when he made woman. Th fact, that the great liberation that hsi come to woman should produce, her and there, a radical, an extremist that liberty should sometimes be swa lowed up in license, is not one whi strange. It was ever thus, and will b to tie- end of time. Hot the emnnei pation of woman has come, and com to stay. And the world is going t l>e immeasurably better for the trans action. She will vote, yes; and "mod die" with politics, yes; and demand th right to manage her own property even as men do. Why not? Wh; should she be deprived of expression Why should she he the slave of repres sion? Is man so pure, wise and hoi; that he is fitted to be the sponsor fo the very soul of woman? Not a bi of it. As supreme dictator he ha proven to he just as selfish, just a: beastly, just as completely a tyran in relation to woman as he has showi himself to be in any other relatioi when he had unrestricted freedom We a?v not afraid of the modern idea: and ideals that have found a plan ( in the 1 fo <>f the modern young wo j man. Jazz his turned her head a Lit crazy, but has not jazz turned the head of the whole world erazy? It so . seems to us. If a few young things. . glorying in their new-found freedom, 1 should get their wings singed, it is no more than may be expected. If ? lit erty should run to license in cigari ) ette smoking, nude costume and apish mannUhncss, these things need not | frighten anybody. It only proves that " the great mass of womankind is right at heart, sweet, pure, wholesome. We need not judge all by one. God has 1 ordained that the soul of man and woman shall be free. He has also implanted in the heart of woman intui tions that will lead aright the many; although the few will fall. We be-j - lieve the greatest single sign of advancement in human thought and pur" pose todaj is the emancipation of wo-j man. Some people, mostly men, do 1 not agree. That we are sorry for, but cannot help it. i M . r . .1! I 11^' w< 11 I' 1 Inc.! i IMS, IKit knorkiMS. ,s d . Our cat says conviction, not prcju dice, should guide the thought; .(?ui acts of men.

An Example of n' Tax Exemption ,u A prohatc court light anions tlu heirs ef James J. Mill and Mrs. Mil has been on of late in St. Paul. The row has been over the appointment el 11 pn administrator for Mrs. Mill's es ,u tale of $12,04)0.004). Put that is only 10 incidental here. The significant p >in i- of public interest is that I.ouis VV I Mill, former business adviser for Mis Mill, testified that beginning in MM' and continuing until 1019, he dispo e 11 of heavily ta.vd securities held by in y principal, substituting therefore tni n tree holdings, and in this way in(teased her annual income from 000 to $7:10,000 a year; that is, In doubled net returns. c'- Here is a concrete example of th? s working of the tax exempt bond ovi d anybody can understand at a glance. In a single instance, in the case of ; personal fortune whir!) is surpasse< by several in Michigan which hav? |S been similarly invested, a littl" shrewd e readjustment has withdrawn ;; annually from the reach of the ta: IJ gatherers.

It runs into tie hundreds of millions, possibly into the i billions annually. It easily makes th? 1 difference between a situation in which the nation could handle its financial problems easily, and th<: present very * difficult economic condition.?Detroit f Free Press. I Art Open Letter From Director Long To l!ie Sellers of Patented Machines and Remedies for Controlling the Boll Weevil. Ik'ar Sirs: We are receiving a great many letters front farmers making inquiry as to the use of certain boll weevil exterminators, catchers and patented methods of control of the weevil. The divisions of entomology of various agricultural colleges in the South, and the United States Department of Agriculture, have expended large sums of money in carrying on experiments to ascertain practical methods of boll weevil control. The United States Department of Agriculture established a large and efficient laboratory at Tallulah, La., for the purpose of studying and experimenting not ?.n:y with all methods and machines worked out by governmental forces but the methods and machines that have been worked out by other agencies for the fighting of the boll weevil. It is evident that the farmers of South Carolina are spending thousands of doll irs in the purchasing of different machines, exterminators and patented methods of boll weevil control simply upon the authority of statements made l y the agents who are selling them. Millions of dollars have been absolutely thrown away in this manner by the farmers of the Southern States as the boll weevil has made its advances thrc ugh the cotton belt, by purchasing contrivances and materials that failed to do what was claimed for them. Clenison College makes this offer to all of the agents who are selling boll weevil exterminators, catchers and uat 'iited methods of boll weevil con> trol; that if such agents will submit ! their machines and patented methods ; to the experts of the United States I Department of Agriculture, in the event that the experts of the United Tlnvisi rt v>w?n t A(riMi>nHtir<i nn<] : Clemson College find them meritorious and consequently are willing* after sufficient trial to advise the farmers to make the purchase of any of these ! exterminators, catchers or methods of j control, Clemson College will at once j use all of its agencies, to call to the , alt at ion of the people the success of any exterminator or catcher or method of control, thus eliminating the expense on the part of the manufacturers or patentees in the hiring of agents and the large sums expended i for advertising, and other necessary expenses in bringing their machines 01 pr< duets to the attention of the farm | ers of South Carolina. If these agencies have what tl e> j claim, they will be glad of the opportunity of having the college and the United States government to become in the last analysis their advertising anil sales agents. If there are any companies or any agents offering foi sale machines and remedies for the control of the boll weevil who are nol willing for the government to pass upon the efficiency of their machines ; and methods, the fact should raise a reasonable doubt in the minds of tht : fat mors as to the wisdom of investing ! in their socalled machines and meth: ods of control of the boll weevil. Your attention is called to the fact that the United States Department of : Agriculture and Clemson Agricultura. i College have worked out a well defined i policy for weevil control and they wil 1 e glad to communicate with any in feiested farmers. This policy is basei ill) n the study of the boll weevil since tin* pest first entered Texas years ajrc Uif methods of control suggested ar those that after many years' tria hii' e had some measure of success an< us' fulness in other infested states and these methods do not involve se ; cret or patented devices and remedies ' j hut are such as may be used to ad van ! tagc under proper conditions by al : who will follow the instructions. The> : ere not panaceas against boll weevi damage, but they help to check tht lavages of the past and are funda ' mental in building up a better South ern agriculture. W. W.

"White gold" is used extensively in eeita'n classes of jewelry but doe; not replace platinum in the manufacture of high class jewelry, it was pointed out. Experts in the Bureau of Mines sail' '.hat owing to its resistance to the action of acids and most chemical jigents, even at high temperature, and to its high melting point, platinum ha been used extensively for the manu facture of crucibles, basins, foils and wire, and for chemical laborator work Most of the metal produced in the United States is said to bo recovered as a secondary mineral from placer ? perations and from the electrolytic lefininpr of gold bullion and blister content. From time to time, the bui can said, the beach sands of Oregon and Northern California had beeji exfdoited by promoters on the basis of the jrold and platinum content. Flowers And the Home Hy Jas. L. Carbery. With the advent of spring our thoughts naturally turn to Danie Nature and her flora beautiful. We give our houses (or homes) as the ease may be. at least a "once over." then we turn to the yard, usually the front vara, for few take great pride ir 'hings behind the house other than the early spring vegetable garden or a few clucking hens. With the new born inspiration we want to dig in the earth, plant seeds and watch them grow, and following a perfectly human inclination we want to feel sure of some flowers. The place without flowers', only a clean-swept yard becomes only a "house," not a home. If may serve to keep off at least some of the rain, a place to sleep and eat, and there^ the attraction ends?there is no environment without flowers. There are flowers that oN?themselves bespeak the nature of people who dwell within but more can be said about the innumerable colvibinations, displ tying good or poor taste, improving or detracting from the surroundings, under-done or over-done. The landscape about a home gives the passer by a very correct index as to the occupants. You start to make a picture from nature?of nature?the four marginal lines are represented hy your four fence angles; in this frame is your home. Fitting the landscape and its makeup to the individual home is of relative importance to fitting an indivdual with clothing. A poor selection of flowers and j shrubbery tastily iflaanged will add < greatly to appearances, whereas r much more costly outlay improperly arranged, crowded or overdone, may) have an opposite effect. There is an even poise, a balance to be observed: you are making a picture, placing the firin fimsthino- Hint * e? ,,vu v,,ww 1' ,tu "I' vv' the central figure, the dwelling. In practically every case the landscape should lead up to the home, the latter being in perspective as far as possible; that is, the shorter growing plants should he in front, the taller ones behind. "A place for everything and everything in its place," applies to good landscape work. No spot is too small to by improved by some form of plant >r grass, etc., none too large. The writer has seen homes worth while spoiled by a veritable jungle in the front yard, enough shrubbery to plant a large estate, each struggling for its existence against an oppos ng foe perhaps a massive oak. Nature likes intelligent assistance and repays many fold an opportunity well placed. A fertile soil, culvtivation, pruning and prevention of insect and fungous troubles arejeach factors in successful lnndsajy/'Ver.--" . i The illustrated catalogues to be had for asking are too well-filled with good things to plant to require a list thus this is more for the general idea of spacing and placing, and in thought tends more to the small yard than one of great size. The average small yard is over-done, too crowded, nothing seems to thrive as it should. If the ordinary shade trees happen to be in close proximity they will take up greedily the plant food nearby often to the exclusion of the smaller things In a yard where such conditions prevail the shade loving plants can be grown, even in tubs, pots or boxes ore \enting soil robbery by the neai neighbors. Many of the flowering shrubs are too large for a small yard, but no yard is too small for grass The touch of grass is eagerly oh served in the picture and lends attractiveness unobtainable from other sources. Grass, it must be remain bered, requires good soil and moisture, and is much more permanent other things being equal than othei small plant life. Practically speaking success with grass lies in preparat'oi -f the seed bed and use of right mixture where combinations are desired Practically everywhere ornamenta trees are planted too close to each other so their individual beauty ant! symmetry is ruined in their early life People forget that "big oaks from lit tie acorns grow." Comparatively few persons give consideration to the wonderfully beau tiful effects to be had (even in a small yard) from one or more of the arlis tie dwarf pines and cedars or other evergreens, which add to the attrae tiveness of the place particularly in winter when the annuals are dead. In conclusion, beware of the socalled reap seeds; they are dear at any price, it is much the best plan to buy seeds in bulk, from a reliable dealer, and the few pennies difference in cost amply repays the the outlay, and as is true in field crops, the careful selection of seeds from best plants will not only afford one pleasure but insure the quality and trueness to type iU.i ~ I.J. null limy lie iwaunouiy Transform the house into a home with flowers.
