C., SEPT. 2S, 19-21 The theft of an automobile is a comparatively easy thing to accom plish and increasing numbers of suci thefts are being daily re)orted. Steal ing of automobiles has come to be a systematized business in some sec tions and stringent methods need to be 'tdoptd to reduce this sort of crime. Short s:ntences and small fines (1o not deter the criminal class es from taking chances on such an easy method of gaining a livinz and heavier sentences need to be passed ii pon them. When a man faces a long penitentiary sentence, he Is less like ly to try his hand at such a game. * * * W. W. Long. director of extension al Clemson college. is seeking to havi the tariff of $2p inr ton on potash re moved on the grond that the farmer, of only a few states must foot th( bill. lie says that if an infant indus, try needs -,rotection, the entire na tion rather than a few states shoil hear the expenze and advocates a sIuhsidy rather than a tariff. Mr Long is of course right as to Iotasi and the same thing applies to all oth er prodlucts that the Republican tarif makers Wouod protect. The tariff al lows the manufacturers. mostly ii the north, to charge the farmers an the zeneral pubie more than tles irchasers woul( have to pay fo fereign made goods and they get II benefit in retuirn.

Walks With Cane Motor nerves and muscles of his left side have given more response to treatment than was hoped for. Of course they are not fully active now. lie still walks with a cane most of the time but frequently hangs the crook over him arm and "gors it alone without my third log." as he puts it. Mr. Wilson is far from a well man today; he was far from a well man when he entered the White House over eight years ago. But during the last two years there have been times when his voice was inaudible and when lie could not support himself alone. His condition today shows more improvement than his family and friends dared hope for. There are many angles to Mdr. Wil son's present (lay psychology. Living in Vashington and easy of access to :'arty friends at the capitol he might give consultation oi party politics, but he does not. WN'hatever a visi tor nia'y say in criticism of the Re publ.ican administration Mr. Willson never makes a reply. lie never per mnits any one in his presence to speak what he regards as "disrespectfully of the president of the United States."

Mr. Taft, until he became chief justice, had from time to time profitable sources of inc ome. Mr. Wilson br-ought with him to the White House the small savings of a lifetime, which he preserved. Duriing his terms in the presidency his royalties from hooks previo'isly - written mounted into rather hand some sums. Singularly enough they have shown a marked sluip since hc left the White Hlouse. While he was Ipresident circumnstances helped him save mnoney. ' The war and the suspension of so eial finietions and entertainment werr quite an Item. It has heen estimated that the former president's pocket - hook was at least $25,00 richer be eause he was not called upon to wine and (line nuimerous dignitaries and oflicial persons, I'pon his modest fortune now he lives siniply, with an establishment of only three servants and a "used Car.''

It takes its Minie from its monotonous call, "pewit. phoebe; phoebe, pewit," continuously repeated, as it flys about in search of a habitation. The phoebe preys on insects. which it captures while on the wing, and is therefore of benefit to farmers. The common phoebe is also known as pewee and as pewit.
