TbHss the Vermont sugar cost 44 per cexft more than the Boston sugar. - It was possible to buy the sugar uj ?bston and send it to a northern Vermont consumer by parcel post, having it delivered to the farmer 5 it his door for a eejit a pound less ..than the farmer Would havfe to pay \ at:the store several miles distant. v "This i0uetrates',-says the Tran script "what'the combination of hj^h freight rales and profiteering ?? doing to those Who live on thei ibac^HEOantry farms." *."ft illustrates something else, too, \ " If -may be doubted whether any* j '_ body took advantage of that parcel! post opportunity to save money on| susar In the outlying parts of New i England.

'?; COST OF STOCK GAMBLING j A? officer of the St?elr.-.Bxch?nge | Security Corporation-, speaking to j ^audience in Washington, D. C, j .gave- some; useful information asj to the inevitable cosi of marginal : - gambling in stocks.- ; Ali that the average stock gam- i bier considers, he says, is tbej chance of winning or losing. What j might be called the overhead ex-; - pense of the sport isignored. Yet. j said the speaker, the brokerage; charges, taxes and commission i make a tariff of about $50 on every j ??jas?rgmal transaction of $H>0. * ! It is the gambler, or investor, j who.pays this, of course. Thei brokers-are not Working for the! fata ?? it merely, and the stock ex- j Change is no charitable Institution, j T Suppose, then, that a gambler' m "mkrgins*' has no bad luck but! *<?uesse^'right half the time.

Highway safety is not merely a \ matter of careful driving, as Chief I 'TTat?Oonald of the Federal Bureau j .;df Public Roads reminds the public, } h connection with Safety Week, j ??1' . * i Safe and sane driving will elimi- ! "nate ? large share of the accidents, j but with it must be combined "the j elimination of dangerous grades j and curves, narrow roadways and i bridges and the deadly grade cross- j mg/' The highway traffic problem has j arisen from the speed of modern j traffic along With its increased" vol- I ume. The old standards suffice no j longer. Grades must be easier. I turns must be more gradual, warn- j ,ings must be at a greater distance. ' -New precautions must be taken j against traffic being jammed in ! tight places, because of the greater j danger that comes from the meet- ; ing of heavy vehicles at high speed, j ? One thing that has not yet had ' ?the attention it deserves is the re- : moval of obstacles to clear vision! at corners and dangerous turns in \ the ro^d. Often there ? a tree oT ; billboard or unnecessary building J standing on a corner which en clangers every, car ? turning that corner, and also" congests traffic by "the' slowing down which it ne cessitates. It may be assumed that such ob stacles will be removed in the future from main traffic thorough fares in both city and country. It may be assumed also that corners will be more and more rounded, to make every turn as easy and safe as possible. As for trolley cars, if they sur vive they may xbe taken from the middle of the street, where they are not a continual obstruction, and either placed along the side to give j motor cars a free passage, or be removed from the highways alto gether. STICK, WORK. SAVE j It is easier to get ? job than it [ was. In one city the average num jher of men now being placed by |one of the big employment agen jcies weekly is 400. in January it j was 120. - While the increase is i not so large everywhere, the gen {eral condition show* marked im- j : provement and in* some regions the j cry of a labor shortage already arises. It looks as though the long waited period of prosperity were close at hand " There is this to be remembered by every mdlvidual who is lodking for a personal share in the gen eral improvement. ? Nothing has j ever taken the oiace of industry, faithful service zth? thrift as the foundations for permanent pros perity. Those who are shiftless in earning and spending may get by when times at 3 srcod but they are the first to feel ti e blew when the tide turns towarJ depression again. ?Prosperity-is not coming to any body in the next few years without effort. Competition is going to be keen. But the man who sticks and works and saves "win move up ward with the rising tide; and .When it begins to ebb, as it in evitably will, hard 'times will have few terrors for him. "TOO MANY COLLEGE MEN" When> President Hopkins of Dartmouth said that "t?o many men are going to college," he probably meant not that fewer men should have a college' education but that many now going to college ought not to be there, ( ? That is the literal truth, - as any body-who has ever done much ob serving of college - men knows. A good many- of the young fellows j who are sent to college, and some j who'go of their own volition, ought j to be in offices ?r factories or on farms", The? may have brains, but they have not th? Jrind of brains that demand ah aeademrf educa tion. With such men, college ed ucation doesn't "take." They might be admirably fitted for active and useful work of a more practical nature and happier in it; and if so, the sooner they get into it, the bet ter. On the other hand, there are t bright and ambitious lads every- j wbere who are yearning for more] education, and who might utilize! U gloriously for their own advance ment and the public benefit, but i who because of financial difficul ties or other lack of opportunity never get to college. They ought to j be there in place of the bored id-: lers or the well-meaning well edu cated men, and there" is always plenty of eligible material. It is all a question of selection. The way to solve the problem is not to limit 6o!lege attendance ar bitrarily, as we are limiting immi gration, but to obtain the desired "aristocracy of brains*' by entrace requirements high enough to ex clude the unfit, and by extending educational opportunities so that j any boy or girl of sufficient ability | and ambition can be prepared and j 1 admitted. And fortunately this is i tue present tendency. DEBTS AXD PROSPERITY Experts seem to disagree about the imminence of prosperity. At the bankers' convention in New York, as a financial writer ob- j serves, everybody from Secretary j Mellon down, was telling the bank- j ers that sood times had arrived and j vrould Snd things booming by! time they got back home. And the j bankers seemed disposed to believe i It. ] About the same time the Nation al Association of Credit Men at Atlantic City was adopting a reso- { l?tion declaring "There is no! ground for believing that a busi- j ne3s boom is in sight*" and advising j merchants not to be too enthusi-: Ostib about buying. Professional psychology doubtless has something to do with this. A credit man's work tends to make htm pessimistic. Hearing so many hard luck stories from people who I cannot pay what they owe. he is inevitably impressed with the bad ! ness of business conditions. It ; takes a super-boom to make a j credit man smile. The banker ! hears some of this, but he is more j subject to- optimistic influences, j People wanting to-borrow money jare always telling him how bright their prospects are. Yet the credit men's position. ; while it may need a little discount jingr,- is doubtless based on solid facts. They judge of the times by 1 the way people pay their debts, and they find that people are not yet paying as they should, and ac-j Cordingly they infer that times are j not improving very fast. And thus j they perform a useful service by j calling attention to the chief ob- i stacle in the way of business im provement. Business cannot be really good until people pay their bills prompt- i !y. The best way to hasten pros- j perity is to meet all obligations as J promptly as possible. When that j I is done, prosperity will roll up liKe a snowball. THE MARVELS OF AGRICUL TURE According to an article in a farm magazine, peanuts are about the j most valuable, food that can be put into the human organism. The author is all full of enthusiasm for increasing the demand for goobers and putting the goober habit into every American heart and home, j According to the prune ' grow- j ers, all the ills, physical, social, j moral and economic from which j the universe suffers could be cured j at once if only all Americans would j take at once to eating on all oc-j casions the small and medium-sized prune. Then there are apples. New York's last crop brought its grow ers $25,000,000. But that is only a drop in the apple barrel. I^the growers will only do thus and so ; with tractors and arsenate of lead! and tissue paper and one thing and another, they can get the great j American public to" double its i apple consumption per capita, and j its health and happiness, not to j speak of those of the growers, will J be saved. Now all of this is comforting and j inspiring as well as : entertaining j reading, and much of it hj doubt- I less true. But what bothers us isj how, if we take to eating all these | apples and peanuts and' prunes and j things that we don't eat now in; sufficient qu?ntites, we are going j to have room im our insides for all the other things whose ' doubled j consumption is recommended in the magazine? j - m m m I Pee Dee Fair Will Start Tomorrow j Florence. Oct. 15.?Officials of ! the Pee Dee Fair which opens here Tuesday and continues' through Friday are optimistic as; to its success regarding both ex-j hibits and attendance. Prizes forj the fair total about $10,000. The! poultry show is being stressed as I one of the best exhibits at the fair, j about $800 having*, been appro-;1 priated for prizes in this depart- { ment alone. The Florence County j Poultry Association has cooperat-; ed with the fair management in j this. One of the large warehouses of; the Co-operative Marketing Asso- j ciation has been secured and ex-! hibits will be placed in it also.! Seventy registered hogs have been j received from the Campbell-Hick- j, fin farms at Sheldon.

All schoo' ; ] children will be admitted free on j that day ahd thousands are expect-J ed to take advantage of this. A special train will be operate lj from Georgetown and Andrews by j the Seaboard Tuesday, it is an-|, nounced. There will be plenty of enter- . tainment consisting of the usual j ' carnival shows, daily horse races), and three football games of prom- j inenee. Tuesday the Columbia and Flor-; enee High school elevens will play and this in itself should be a big j drawing card as both teams are i in the race for the state chain-j pionship. Wednesday will be Darlingron j Day at the fair and Darlington and Lake City High schools will play. Thursday the big game of the week will be played when Furman j University and the Citadel meet. ; The alumni of the two institutions are working bard for a biju: crowd; and indications point to one of the ! biggest in the history of football , at the fair.

Clemens, Mich., Oct. 14 (By the Associated Press).?Uncon scious at times due to the terrific speed at which he rushed through the heavens, and during his con scious moments haurited by fears for the condition of his wife, who momentarily expects to , become a mother, Lieut.

He traveled the 160 ?mile course at an average speed of 206 miles an hour.

New Brunswick, N. J., Oct. 12? (By the Associated Press.)?The case against Clifford Hayes.'. who was held four days as the s?ayer of the Rev. Edward Wheeler, Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Reinhardt Mills, blew up with a booni today, and the authorities turned back in their investigation to theories that provided a more logical motive for the double crime. The blow up came when Ray mond. Schneider, Hayes' accuser, summoned Prosecutor Beekman of Somerset county to the jail at Somervilfe, where Schneider was held as a material witness, and j repudiated his entire story of the j crime. The authorities immedi j ately renewed their investigations i of leads which had been discarded [when Schneider's statement led I them to declare they had solved the case. The new tun took them back to the home of Mr.*. Frcrcis Stevens [ Hall, widow of the slain clergyman. I and to that of James Mills, wid lower of the slain choir singer. Detectives visited the Hall home and took away a fawn colored coat and scarf which she had had f .ed in Philadelphia since the murders. They sent it to an analytical I chemist for an analysis of brown spots which the Philadelphia cleaners reported were beneath the black dye . they had applied. I Mrs. Hall is known to have worn a light colored coat in the early morning ot September 15?-the morning after the murders?when, according to her story, she went to the Church of St. John the Evan gelist, looking- for her missing hus band. She has told the authorities her eccentric brother, Willie Stev ens, accompanied her to the church j andf back. Witnesses who saw her return home declare she returned alone at about 1.30 a. m. Detective Fitzpatrick, who went for the garments, reported that Mrs. Hall acted "peevish" when he demanded them. Mrs. Hall'? lawyer, however, issued a state ment saying Mrs. Hall was glad to j surrender them, though the action ? came "rather, late." James Miils. church sexton and husband of the slain choir singer was questioned briefly at Prosecu tor Striker's office again this af ternoon, but the nature of- the questions asked him could not be i learned^ State troopers, who have be- 1 come increasingly active on the case, let it be known that one of : the . theories now entertained is that the slayings were perpetrat ed by a party of four?three men and one woman?who traveled in two automobiles. . Witnesses told, soon .after the slayings .were dis* j covered, of hearing shots , and j screams in the vicinity of the Phil* j lips faifin and of seeing two automo biles dash down the road toward New Brunswick. Unconfirmed reports reached i here from Philadelphia today that the goid watch removed froni the ministers pocket had been found in a Philadelphia pawnshop. j Authorities made inquiries by long distance telephone and were informed that a gold watch shown up in a" mysterious manner in a. pawnshop' there, but that there was nothing to connect it : with Mr. Hall.. Detective Collins went to Philadelphia to check up on the watch and also to seek further information from the dyeing and cleaning firm, which did Mrs.. Hall's work. New Brunswick, N. J., Oct. 13.? ; While the. officials sought anxious ly for something tangible on which to proceed' with the inquiry of Hall Mills murder, friends , of Clifford I Hayes proceeded with preparations j for the "mass meeting tonight to j celebrate Hayes' release.
