I ? ? I' Urges Caution As to Tobacco . fc Washington.?William A Taylor, chief of the bureau of plant industry, " ,M?gests to South Carolinians and Others concerned, that they make j^ste slowly in increasing the acreage devoted to tobacco production. Mr. Taylor makes his position clear ^ in the following note to Senator Dial, who, in the name of a constituent, j, made inquiry of the department over which Mr. Taylor presides: ^ "I have received your letter of the 11th instant, enclosing a communica- ^ tion from E. L. Reardon, Sumter, S. ^ C., relative to tobacco seed for distrivi tution in that section. In this con- ^ k, nection it should be stated that toK?/vn is n?t included in he reg- , jocular congressional seed distribution, gSHand while small quantities can some- ac gW times be supplied to those desiring ^ IHto make experiments in tobacco culflmture, we have no funds available for the purchase of tobacco seed to be ' 5^ distributed on a scale large enough ^ ' for the commercial growing of to- . bacco. as "Relative to the plan of reducing cotton acreage by planting tobac- ^ co, suggested by Mr. Reardon, it seems ^ desirable to call attention to the fact that at the present time market pi Ices ^ for the flue cured tobacco are only a third to a forth of last year's prices, ^ and we are informed that just recently a meeting of represents r~w\mai*o in Virginia. ^^VeS Ul U.'UOVW u. . . . 0... , " ^Niorth Carolina, South Carolina, and . Georgia was held in Richmond for ^ the purpose of devising means to re- *r 0 lieve the present situation, including jg consideration of a plan to curtail the ^ tobacco acreage by one-third. "While undoubtedly the present economic readjustment through which we are now passing is partly responsible for the fall in the market price p* tVi of tobacco it seems to be pretty gen- _ erally considered that there is an act- ^ . ual' overproduction of flue cured to- ** bacco this year. Under the circum- 56 stances it would seem that there is ^ some question as to the advisability ni k of increasing the tobacco acreage in se South Carolina.'" ^ a ||! Spanking for "Extreme" Style 01 The good, old fashioned spanking? ^ over the knee, out in the woodshed? ^i was suggested as a possible remedy ai for the extreme styles now worn by ?* Hh girls by Rev. Dr. J. Fred Heisses, pasIP tor of Union Square Methodist Epis- ^ copal church, who sent out question- of * aires to all the local clergy, asking **( them what they considered were the co prevailing evils of the day and possible s* remedies for them. ^ The extreme styles worn by women 81 k Xand young girls were placed first by \ the clergymen with but few ex- ^ ceptions. Movies with a slight sar a fron tinget, automobiles and dance whalls were given in the order named. 01 Many others were given, but these four were decided upon as the most widely prevailing evils.?Baltimore tr A'shatrh . h< 0 gl Knowing How to Save. cr (From the Minneapolis Journal.) The American people, having been on a money spending spree for some ^ time, are beginning to sober down. a< High wages have led to extravagance and spending. We talk about saving for a rainy day, but we seem to think that day is so far away as to need no immediate er thought Of course it is proper to in- ^ dulge in a luxury, if one can afford it, ^ but it is well to differentiate betw-en a luxury and an extravagance. Doubt- ^ less we all have our ideas as to what 4 is extravagance for ourselves and quite w ^^bdifferent ideas as to what is extrava- et ^gance for others. But, generally *e speaking, waste is easily defined. , Saving part of the income ought di ^to be the rule of every man's life. Of ^ course, this may be overdone, though *>i it doesn't often happen. To make a 4 business of saving, a profession of *? economizing, a trade of thrift, is like- Ue ly to develop a narrow nature, even I? I as reckless spending develops habitual improvidence. Which state is the = worse? N 10 use gOOO jua^uitui Iii savuig auu spending alike?that's the idea. Ruskin put it in another way: 2^ "Economy no more means saving w 1 ^ money than it means spending mon- ba ey; it means administration of a *? house; its stewardship; spending or ^ saving, whether money or time or any- ^ thing else, to the best possible advantage." Ja The man whose wife spends his in- ~~ come as fast as he earns it keeps his nose flattened on the grindstone of S' fate. The day surely will come when his earning capacity will be gone and no preserves will be found on the pantry shelf. It is the same if the hus- m band is the spender and the wife is of the saver. The best plan is when both ef follow Ruskin's idea of administra- m tion and stewardship, saving and &i spendng with common sense and due K A attention to appropriate living. ^ We can all afford to save more. ^ ^Reasonable economy will develop our th ^Iharacters. Today as a nation we need to more than ever we did to save. Lay ^ 1 something, no matter how little, I each week and you will soon discover of I a new source of happiness as you find A yourself getting ahead instead of al- , L BANK CHECKS IN FRANCE. ider Use Would Lessen Currency Difficulties. Paris, January 25:?French citizens ive never taken kindly to the Ameri;n system of paying daily transacts in bank checks, but if the bill >w before parliament becomes a law, rench financiers believe a long step ill have been taken toward a solu>n of internal currency difficultes. The hesitancy about adopting' the merican system has been due largely the fact that the law does not prode serious punishment for passers worthless or undated checks, the ilprits merely being liable to a fine 6 per cent, which rarely is applied, id a penal caution, which is never Iministered. Certain French DeRU;s, however, point to the satisfactory >eration of the check system in the nited States and England and are king for sentences of from two to ur years at hard labor to be authored in cases where checks are drawn ^inst insufficient funds or are post tted, without actual provision for eeting them at maturity. A resume the provsions of the law is to be in ted on every check in an effort prevent the old plea of ignorance. There is need for radical changes in e French law along these lines, as ider the present system many French inking firms, in order to guard rainst cashing checks drawn against sufficient ainds, have instructed eir tellers not to accept checks that e drawn on other organizations unss the check is specially certified and e indorser has been identified. o Unique in Animal World. There is nothing else like the eleiant. He has come down to us rough the ages, surviving the contions which killed off his earlier conmpories, and he now adapts himlf perfectly to more different contions than any other animal in Afca, Carl Akeley of the American Muum of Natural History writes in the 'orld's Work. He can eat anything that is green ever has been green, just so long i there is enough of it. He can gea s water fium the aloe plants on the -id plains or dig a well in the sand ' a dry river with his trunk and fore et, and drink there, or he is equalat home living half in the swamps better watered regions. He is at >me of the low flat plains of the sea ast at the equator or on the cool opes of Kenia and Elgon. So far i I know he Suffers from no contaous diseases and has no enemies expt man. There are elephants on enia that have never lain down for hundred years. Some of the plains ephants do rest lying down, but no le ever saw a Kenia elephant lying >wn or any evidence that they do lie >wn at rest. The elephant is a good aveler. On good ground a good >rse can outrun him, but on bad round the horse would have no tance and there are few animals that m cover more ground in a day than 1 elephant. And in spite of his apjarance he can turn with surprising plity and move through the forest ? quietly as a rabbit. o Results of Hybrid Mating. Here is a strange set of facts, provi by three different investigators in iree different parts of th world at tree different times. In matings of so-called "pure" races, tat is to say, Englishman with Engsh woman, Frenchman with French oman, German with German woman, e., 104.54 more males are born than males. In hybrid matings, that is to say, of fferent nationalities, there is a more gnificant excess fii male over female rths. In matings of United States colored Iks there is a significant excess of males over the ratio of British West idian colored who are relatively pure ed. OTICE OF APPLICATION FOR FINAL DISCHARGE.
