C. -txt- TODAY and BICYCLES peril There are more bicycles in use in the United States today than ever before. That is the report of the Iowa Director of Motor Ve hicles; and he Is talking about ordinary foot-propelled “bikes,” not motorcycles. Trade statistics bear out his assertion, and every motorist must have noticed the •icrcaced number of bicycle riders /ho add to the perils of motoring n the highways. I remember when bicycles were \ rare novelty. I rode one of the >ld-style high-wheel bikes in my 'ovlicd. The present type of bi cycle, with pneumatic tires, did not come into use until I was .hrough high school. There were no automobiles in those days, but cyclists scared horses and farmers used to set their dogs on us. A- round the cities and suburb special “cycle paths” used to be built to keep the wheelmen off 10th sidewalks and the main horoughfares. If bicycles continue to multiply it would seem like good sense to go back to the old practice of put ting a narrow strip exclusively for cyclists’ use along each new road built. * * * DUTCH misnomer The government of the Kingdom of Holland is trying to get the word “Dutch” out of the English language. It sounds too much like “Deutsch,” which means “German.” Indeed, it was first applied to the people of the Low Countries when the line between them and the lower German Rhineland was not sharply drawn. The proper name for Holland "ow is “The Netherlands,” and the official name of the little colony in South America which used to be called “Dutch Guiana” has been changed to “Surinam.” There are no more “Dutch West Indies.” The new name for those islands in the lower Caribbean is “Curacao.” The great Netherlands colonial islands of Borneo, Sumatra, Java, Bali and numerous smaller ones, which we used to call the Dutch East Indies, - are now the Netherlands Indies. Americans will doubtless con tinue to refer to the early “Dutch” settlers of New York, New Jersey, and to confuse them with the “Pennsylvania Dutch” who are not of Netherlands stock but pure German. But if you address a letter to any of the Netherlands colonies under its old name, your postmaster will “get in Dutch” if he forwards it. * a * EDUCATION practica’ One of the most practical edu cational experiments I have heard of has lately been made , at Net- cong, New Jersey, where twenty- five children from New York City schools have been spending the Summer vacation in a “work camp.” They are learning how the work of the world is done by doing it themselves. Boys and girls alike dress in overalls and not only do a variety of farm chores but have under taken to repair and put in mod em condition an abandoned farm house more than 100 years old. They have taken to that task with enthusiasm, and a^e doing a creditable job as carpenters, stone-masons, plasterers, painters, plumbers and electricians. The only education of real val ue that the young can get is in doing things for themselves. If they pass school age without knowing anything about the rea 1 work of the world their education has only just begun. * * • FARMING progres' From all I read and hear about; new methods and processes In farming, it seems as if agriculture, er many phases of it, were enter- ng upon revolutionary develop- ments. The latest is the successful at- empt of a northern New York armer to get his tomatoes ••ipc 'eforc the normal crop flooded he market and forced price* iown. He put in a hot-water heater and carried pipes under- rround to warm the tomato roots. The result was larger plants with more fruit, ready to pxk ten days before his neigh bors’ crops. In California and elsewhere '■'nmercial production of many inds of vegetables is being car- i on successfully without any l at all. The plants, supported wire netting or other means, - nd their roots down into tanks warm, chemically-treated '.ter. Production is reported as 'M.-y high, the labor of cultivating ; rd weeding is entirely eliminated, r’.d picking and harvesting be- c mes a simple operation. That’s progress. Some Good Reasons For Support ing Butler B. Hare For Ccniress BUTLER B. HARE (1) He has had wider training and experience than any of his opponents, (and this does not in any way whatsoever reflect upon their ability.2 (2) During his eight years in congress he took the lead in pro moting the interest and welfare of his constituents. That is, he was a leader and not a mere fol lower. (3) His activities there and in the campaign this summer show that he is not only familiar with the peoples’ problems but is able to properly interpret and offer solutionis for them. (4) Be has conducted a clean and honorable campaign by dis cussing and explaining problems that should be up for considera- ation in the next congress. (5) He has outlined and dis cussed a progressive and construc tive legislative program to follow in case of his election, some of which may be enumerated: (a) A revision of our tariff laws, and making reciprocal trade agree ments with other nations in order to reopen the channels of trade and restore foreign markets for American products. (b) He insists that in order for the cotton farmer to enjoy a more abundant life the allocation of cotton acreage to the states by the government should be on the basis of farm population, for he says it takes as much to feed, clothe and educate a family in South Carolina as it does for the same family in Texas and their opportunities for making a living should be the same. (c) He will insist upon con tinued and further development of our water power in order to in crease rural electrification and reduce the cost of electricity for other purposes/ (d) To aid unemployment in worth while work and to meet the needs of the government he would have buildings erected to icccmmodate all second and third :lass post offices, including other governmental activities. (e) As a further means of aid ing the unemployed, as well as those who live on the farm, he would have the govern ment construct and maintain all highways traversed by rural de livery service, as provided in the constitution. • (f) He would have substitute carriers supply rural delivery service on all holidays except Sunday. (g) He would have the federal government pass a retirement act for school teachers in place of federal aid for schools with un certainty as to control, for he says: “it would never do to have white and colored children attend the same schools here in the South as- they do in the North.” (h) He would have the federal government assume full responsi bility for old age pensions, leaving the states in a position to better enlarge their educational facili ties. (i) He insists that where lands- have been obtained or may here after be obtained by the federal government for use as a national park, the counties in which such lands are obtained should be re imbursed by the government to the extent of the taxes collected on such lands until the revenues therefrom shall equal the annual taxes collected prior to the aquisi- tion of such land. (j) He favors the reinstatement of compensation to World War Veterans with permanent dis abilities of twenty-five per cent or more. (k) He will renew his efforts to- have the federal government re fund taxes collected on cotton during the three years immediate ly following the war between the states. South Carolina’s share **• k . % without interest would be about $5,000,000 with interest it would run as much as $15,000,000 or $20,- 000,000. (l) In addition to being unani mously indorsed by the demo cratic convention of his home county the legislative representa tives of five brotherhoods or labor organizations examined his eight years service in congress and. found it to be such that they formally endorsed him for re- election. V In his Ittft campaign for con gress eightflPl^rs ago Mr. Hare re ceived a li$tle above 90 per cent of the total* vote cast in Saluda county and a fraction over 70 per cent of the vote in Edgefield county, making average of slightly more than 84 per cent of the total vote in the two counties.—The Johnston Herald, Aug. 19.

TOMORROW prophets It is an interesting occupation to predict whdt the worid will be like in the future, and if you set your dates far enough ahead you won’t be around, or your readers -ither. to be laughed at when your predictions turn out wrong. The best that an honest prophet can do is not to be too specific a-? to when things are going to hap pen, nor go into too many detail* as to just what they will be like when they do come off, and by what means. He can only point to the trends apparent in his own time. I have no hesitation in pre dicting that in the course of time the economic waste of war will have become so apparent to the people of the world that they will realize how silly it is to set up barriers between nations.
