RICH MERIWETHER, S. C. S The tragedy of fire is not that each year the loss totals over $500,- 000,000 but that, according to the National Board of Fire Urfderwrit- ers‘86 per cent of the fires are pre ventable. In other words at least $43Q 000,000 annually is destroyed because of carelessness, ignorance or incompetence. It is far more of a menace than war, which seems an inexpensive past'me in comparison. Reports have it that the recent in tensive Fire Prevention movements have borne fruit, and that 1928 will show less loss than preceding years. It is high time the public took ad vantage of the teachings of experts, and the terrible examples that every day affords. Our people cannot have an unblemished reputation for wis dom and intelligence as long as this “Fifth Horseman,” fire, still rides rough-shod among us. The polit'eal spotlight casts about hopefully, hr'nging into pronrnence hev' who perhaps may play the stellar roles in the approaching "'residential campaign. As each pros- pretive candidate is bathed in its "ays a speculative public considers h's merits, and eagerly d'seusses his rvospeets. One of those who has been recently brought to the front in the Demo cratic party is Edwin T. Meredith, of Des Moines, Iwoa, Secretary of Ag- riculture under the Wilson adminis tration, and at present managing editor and owner of Successful Farming, a farm magazine with over a million circulation, owner of the magazine Better Homes and Gard ens, as well as other farm papers. Mr. Mered ; th does not define him self as a candidate but states that he would accept the nomination. The general opinion is that he would in herit McAdoo’s following. He does not hesitate to state his stand upon public questions and is known as a progressive Democrat. “Agriculture as the basic industry of America,” strict enforcement of prohibition as an assurance of prosperity, military preparedness as an economic feature, and a fair tariff to all, would un doubtedly, predominate in his plat form. All in all, Mr. Meredith is a typical Amer can who as a boy earn ed his own way, thereby learning that hard work and straightforward ness were the essentials of progress, and these two virtues have always been a part of h ; s policy. * Danial C. Roper has also received prominent mention. Mr. Roper is well versed in government affairs, having held many positions in the Federal service, including, F’rst As sistant Postmaster General, 1913- 1916; vice-chairman United States Tariff Commission in 1917, and Com- nrssicner of Internal Revenue 1917- 1920. Also, Huston Thompson, Assistant Attorney-General of the United States, 1913-1918 and from 1918 un til recently a member cf the Federal Trade Commission, has been propos ed. Among the others that are consid ered as prospective cand"dates are: Senators Walter F. George, of Geor gia, and James A. Reed, of Missouri, Governors Alfred E. Smith, of New York, and^ Albert C. Ritchie, of Mary land. The lattey three being known as pronouncedly wet have had a good deal of publicity in the daily papers. Some of McAdoo’s followers are still hopeful that he will enter the race despite his announcement to the contrary. Secretary of Commerce, Herbert Hoover, has announced himself as a candidate for the nomination of the Republ'can Party, has entered the presidential primary in Ohio against Senator Frank B. Willis of that state, and it is thought by some that the outcome of this race w’ll be a de cisive factor in Secretary Hoover’s chances for the nomination. He has not taken any definite stand on pub lic quest : ons and his policies or prin ciples are unknown except that it is generally surmised that he would fol low the tiend of the present admin istration. It is also rumored that Mr. Hoover would not be received with an open-arm welcome in the West where the farmers still remem ber the price set on wheat by him during the wai; a price which, at that time, they considered almost conf'scatory. Vice-President Charles G. Dawes is thought to be in the running. He has served efficiently in his present position ard is popular with the leaders of the party. Among the others, there are Sena- tois Frank B Willis of Ohio, Char les Curtis, of Kansas, and former Governor of Illinois, Frank O. Low- den. of whom we have spoken in a preceding article. Charles E. Hugh es, William E. Borah, and Nicholas Longworth have also been mention ed. Quadrennial Meet Of S. S. Association Minister Defends Craft—Accusations Sunday School workers of all de nominations from all over the world will assemble in Los Angeles, Cali fornia, July Uth to 18th, 1928 for the Tenth Quadrennial Convent’on of ^he World’s Sunday School Associa- ' on. Requests from all over South Carolina indicate that there will be •a large delegation to join Georgia and Alabama delegates to go by way of the Elliott Tours, which will be the official route of the South Caro lina Sunday School Association. Speakers from all countries of the world will be on the program, and it will be the most representative gath ering of Sunday School Workers in America since the Convention was held in Washington, D. C., twelve years ago. For less than three hundred dol lars for the entire trjp, including ho tel accommodations i n Los Angeles during the Convention, delegates go ing by the way of the Elliott Tours LIVERPOOL, Eng.—Masonry was defended against allegat’ons that it was a menace to Christianity by Rev. William Pakton, a Past Master of a lodge, in a recent sermon. He de fined Masonry as a fellowship with a religious basis, and declared it not to be a subst'tute for any church, “al though it is the enemy of none who seek to interpret the will of God in their relations with men.” “It has been the custom of Free masons,” the minister said, “from time immemorial to offer no defence against attacks,, even when it would not be difficult to refute mis-state ments or to meet legitimate criti cism, but a recent onslaught by a Wesleyan minister demands a reply from a minister of Christ lest sil-. erce should be misunderstood or mis interpreted. It is alleged that Christianity is menaced by Masonry* and that the influence of this Pra te: nity is to weaken the faith and will have an extended trip, including service of the faithful and to lure sightseeing in New Orleans, San An tonio, El Paso, and Juarez, Mexico; Albuquerque, Grand Canyoii Los Angeles, San Francisco, Mt. Tamal- pais, Salt Like City ,Salt Air Beach, Yellowstone National Park, Royal Gorge, Denver, Colorado Springs, Pike's Peak, coming hack by way of St. Louis, Mo. There will be a registration fee of $5.00 for each delegate. (Foreign m’ssionaries actively engaged in for eign service are registered free) The fee procures a program and badge which badge will provide admission to all sessions of the Convention, including conferences, and to all expositions in Exhibit Hall. Every registered delegate will also receive a bound volume containing the Con vention Report with digest of chief addresses and findings of all confer- enes. Any person in South Carolina re lated to Sunday School work may be come a delegate by application to the headquarters of the South Caro lina Sunday School Association, 207 younger men from the church alto gether. Its membership includes men of many creeds, andi in a cos mopolitan city like Liverpool, one can find Jew, Gentile, and Greek, meeting on a common basis. Free masonry is not a rival to any church, but can become a powerful auxiliary if Freemasons will not narrow their service nor misinterpret their own principles.” tXt The application of manure ,from the dairy herd improves the physical condition of the soil and also adds valuable chenrcal fertilizing consti- taterrts. If the herd is fed consid erable quantities of purchased feeds, the manure produced, if all is prop erly applied to the fields*. will ins- prove the fertility of the soil faster than the feed crops remove the fer tility.

C. l The legumes, of which alfalfa, all the clovers, vetch, lespedeza, cow- peas and soy beans ai'e examples, are the best kinds of hay for dairy cows. They are high in protein and are rich in mineral matter, especial ly calcium. Their use will reduce the quantity of high protein concentrates necessary to be bought to provide well-balanced rations. Leafy, small stemmed hay, cut before it is too ripe and properly cured, is the best. In th : s condition it is more palatable and will contain a maximum amount of its natural green color. It is a hard problem to feed cows econom ically and get high production with out the feeding of legume hays. It is usually cheaper to grow' them on the farm than to buy them. On ac count of its high protein and calcium content and its palatability, alfalfa under conditions where it does well, is considered the best legume for | cows.
