A nation-wide acceptation of this, in heart and in life, would bring peace, and world peace, where there is now turmoil, and men would then cease to seek to gain their ends by lawless acts of immorality, but would, in spirit and in deed, follow the Divine command: “All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you,, do ye even so to them.” 1 X Winners Of Project And Essay Contests In Agricultural Schools COLUMBIA, Jan. 22.—The voca tional agricultural departments of Gray Court-Owings, Laurens Coun ty, Oakley Hall, Chester County, and Walterboro, Colleton County, are the winners in the project and essay contest among the agricultural schools of the state, it was an nounced today, and each of these schools will receive a one hundred dollar prize offered by the Chilean Nitrate of Soda educational bureau.

Gov’t Jeopardizes Private Business Govermental interference and competition with American indus tries are not only raising •r'i cost of government to an exce r s' .e de gree, but are jeopardizing the Amer ican principle of the right of private initiative and private property, de clares John E. Edgerton, president of Notional Association of Manufac turers. Mr. Edgerton puts his statement in the form of a series of questions, as follows: “Do you know that the Federal Government is increasingly entering* into business competition with its Citizens, with plants that pay no tax es, carry no insurance, borrow money more cheaply than private individ uals and draw on the public to make up deficits caused by failure? “Do you know that the United States spends in one year for alt forms of government eleven billion dollars, a sum equal to the value in 1926 of all.crops raised? “Do you know that for every eleven wage-earners throughout the- land there is one government em ploye on the payroll? .“Do you know that there are something like 2,500,000 laws on our statute books, and that ignorance of the law is no palliation of its vio lation ? “Do you know that, while Federal taxation has been reduced, the cost of state and local taxation has risen to a point where it is almost over whelming? , ; : t “Do you know that our country has been built to its commanding po sition by its industry, and that in dustry can operate efficiently only as it is governed by laws that are neither archaic nor intolerant of in dustry’s right to existence?” X Grazing livestock in the farm j woodland and maximum production, of timber do not go well together^ says the United States Forest Serv ice. Costinued heavy pasturing ol hardwood woodland eliminates young timber growth on the ground and prevents more from becoming established. This brings about a; parklike appearing woods which grows but a small percentage of the amount of wood that the land is cap-i able of producing.
