It is asserted on the one hand that the war being over Eugene Debs and other prisoners who opposed the war should be pardoned. But on the Other hand, it is contended that it would be a bad example to permit anyone to commit offenses against me government in time of war with the certainty that when the war is over he will be pardoned. One of the flagrant cases of opposition to the war and to the government is that of Eugene Debs. in t>pptwnng governmental authority Eugene Debs wrote among othc, violent anarchistic sentiments this parapraph, "It is a question not of reform, the mask of fraud, but of revolution. The flag, the only flag of freedom, we reaffirm it and on this day, pledge a new fidelity?come life, I come death?to the blood red banner J of revolution." The "Appeal to Reason," a paper that was suppressed during the war, published a great mass of matter in opposition to the government of which this paragraph is a sample: | Labor demands all the product? of its hands and it is going to have them,' 1-x let we consequences be what theyj T.'.

[JRNEVERY MINUTE ! B|0bs warnuiii who accounted for his^^at ^success as a showman, by T^esuitcir.ent that "there is a fool born every minute." One of the very latest evidences of the truth of this statement is that a lot of swindlers in New Orleans have been making bin money by selling ^^?beautifully engraved certificates of Wm stock in League of Nations, Italians WF and other foreigners, living in New Orleans, were the victims of this 'scheme. They had heard so much of .the League of Nations that they ' thought it be a good thing to put their money in. expecting to get big dividends. Barnum was right. A WORTHY MONUMENT It has been proposed that a monument be erected on the most popular ? thoroughfare in Atlanta to Woodrow Wilson. Mr. J. L. McCar, one of the leading citizens of Atlanta, is backing the movement. Mr. Wilson began his official career in Atlanta, practicing law there in early manhood. Mr. McCord stated that a monument standing at Five , jroinis would hold before the people _ a*' ideal of one of the greatest statesmen and Christians who ever lived. With Henry Ford fi^htin^r the Jews and Tom Watson fitfhtinjr the Catholics, the rest of us had better take tv> the woods before another crusader arises.

It is a wel' established fact that good forage crops reduce the cost of producing pork from one! third to one-half. There u?~e a number of good forage crops: for hogs adaptable to South Carolina tnnt should be planted during this month or the following spring months. Among these crops are the following, suggests C.L. Morgan, Extension animal husbandman : Cowpeas. Sow April 15 to July 15, at the rate of Va bushel driied in 30inch rows or 1 M> bushels broadcast per acre. Cowpeas may be sown alone, with sorghum, or in rows between corn. An acre of cowpeas will produce from 125 to 225 pounds of pork per acre. Soybeans. Sow April 15 to June 30, as for cowpeas. Soybeans may be planted alone or in alternate rows with corn. They are heavier grain producers than cowpeas and on the average produce more pork per acre. Velvet beans. Sow April 15 to July 1, at the rate of 10 to 12 pounds per acre in iuwb. Velvet her.an h0** adapted for planting with corn. The corn and velvet beans may be hogged off together. These feeds supplement each other for hog feeding. They usually furnish feed after the other crops are exhausted. Peanuts. Sow May 1 to July 15, at the rute of 2 bushels unhulled or 40 pounds per acre in 30-inch rows. Peanuts have been known to produce 600 pounds or more pork per acre when popped off. However, peanuts invariably produce soft pork; so hops fed on peanuts should be finished on grain before marketing. Sorghum. S6w April 1 to June 15. at the rate of 10 to 12 pounds in rows or 40 pounds broadcast per acre. Sorghum fs quick growing summer forage. It may be sown with early cowpeas.?CJemson College.

General Statement?The Proble*" Clemson College. April"" 9.?So ' much is being said and written about ' co-operative marketing of farm prodr ucts that in the first article of this ' series on the subject, it is well to rer view briefly the problem which cooperative marketing is expected to I solve. The problem may be stated this _ \j?q \r '4X-J/%?? ?? - - it- % * * "" , ...j . uvn may me products of the - farm be delivered to consumers at the 5 least possible cost for the various operations involved in making the delivery?" Or again this way, "Granted ? that the law of supply and demand s does fix the price which consumers pay for any product, how may the 1 operations of this law be extended to the grower and be made to fix the [ price which he receives for the prod! uct, minus only the necessary ex pense of distribution?" ? There is a rather fixed opinion - among growers of all kinds of crops that the law of demand has too many r amendments and riders attached be; fore it affects the price they receive. ' If this is not true, then farmers are : all mistaken, everything is really all, right after all, and they should simp-1 I ly admit that it is their business to ' produce and! be content with their lot, allowing those who know how to sup ply consumers with farm products. Furthermore, if the law of supply and ! demand is fixing the price farmers receive, then there arc only two ways by i which they can hope to realize more from the scale of crops. These are (1) , by reducing their scale of living; (2) ! by applying scientific methods to ' products so that the unit cost of production will be less. The first of these ! the southern farmer is dismissing with ' the observation that his scale of living is the lowest in the country and cities as evidence our percentage of illiteracy, our expenditures for schools, churches and all other public . institutions, our roads, our bank clearings and every baromter of pros[ perity to be found. As to the second, 1 they make no argument against the , application of more scientific and eco. nomical methods of production, but on the contrary they apply these methods wherever possible and point with pardonable pride to the rapid I a,.;aoc i ? kimi fiuvc- oecn maae in this direction. They are not only producing more per acre than ever before but are producing niore per man. They are still anxious to use the most economical methods of production wherever possible and it is to their individual interest to do so. They are, however, so handieaped through lack of working capital that many of them are forced to take a shorttime view of economical production rather than a long-time view which would take into consideration the problem of permanent soil fert:liy. Farmer Wan-tr Fair Share of Proceeds There is a feeling among farmers that, notwithstanding every effort is being put forth to keep down costs, they are not getting a fair share of the consumer's dollar. It has been stated on good authority that in Denmark, a country where co-operative marketing is the rule and not the exception, 19 cents of the eonsumer'3 dollar goes to the grower, whereas, in the United Sates only 8 cents out of the consumer's dollar goes to the grower. There seems to be plenty of justification for the view taken generally by farmers that their scale of living is low enough and that costs of production are about as low as practicable until they receive a larger share of the consumer's dollar. Farmers are also beginning to realize that in spite of the interest taken in their problems by others, some of ! interest is genuine and some merely J assumed for ulterior purposes, it is after all their problem to get a fair. share of the consumer's dollar, and , that this can be done only through concerted action. This means co-op-] erative effort. It should be pointed out that this desire for a fair share of the ultimate proceeds of their crop is an absolutely righteous desire, and that | to the extent they fail to get their, dues, the agriculture of the country; suffers, affecting adversely the whole country. * It thus appears that the field which it would pay farmers best to cultivate now is the field of co-operative mar-' I keting. This brings us to a consideration of the different steps involved in marketing. What hannnna r, - ? w ??* J' f ^ J V*? Hit VI U JiS produced by Mr. Farmer from the time he relinquishes possession until Mr. Consumer takes them over, and how can Mr. Farmer take a hand in these happenings in such a way as to increase his own income? This phase ! of the subject will be taken up in the 1 next article of this series. I By Charles f ?

"The fact that you couldn't reach nround and claw the Itching place with your fingers kept the matter fresh In your memory and got on your nerves.

You had your whole person to scratch, nnd might have bought a currycomb for a quarter, and had a good time, but you couldn't be happy until you had reached the one Inaccessible spot. "A while ago I imagined I had heart disease, and went and saw the | doctor.

He cautioned me over nnd over igaln against laying on my left side, tnd left the Impression that If I dlslheved him. I'd wake up some mornng to find myself a candidate for a lornl horseshoe. "That matter lookdtl easy at the ! .dnie. nnd I assured the doctor I'd fol- j o\v Ills hylnws to the letter. When ; f went to hed that night.

It seemed to me the height of human happiness would lie In sleeping on one's left side. 1 followed Instructions for two nights, ind then I decided that life wasn't worth such sacrifices, nnd I rolled over find slept on my left side, and nothing happened. I was feeling better than usual next morning when I got up. "Of course this experience lessened my confidence In the doctor's Instructions, nnd I concluded that If I was coin* to sidestep the Instructions I might as well sidestep the medicines, too. for they tasted like low life In a Chinese alley, nnd I threw the whole lot out of the window.

I think he's the most melancholy man I ever saw. and his trouble Is that he can't raise a good stand of whiskers. Nowadays, when whiskers are considered an Infirmity, It seems strange that any man should grieve over such a matter. "He sends all over the United Htates for hair grower*, and half the time his face Is blistered or swollen, and still the whiskers won't grow on him. If some miracle happened, and he woke up some morning to find his countennnce all covered with whiskers, he'd probably have them shaved off within a week; but because they won't grow, ho won't be happy till he gets them."

Yet this moet .distinguished family In our national biography lived in America one hundred and fifty years before it broke Into fame. When the engagement was announced of John Adams of Brain tree, Mass.. to the daughter of Parson Smith of the adjoining town of Weymouth. people were shocked that Abby should marry so beneath her station. Was site not a Qulncy and a Norton? And John, the son of a small farmer, was put down to fourteenth place among his twenty-four classmates, when Harvard catalogues were made up according to social rank. After that he tanght school In Worcester to got enough money to study lew, end the strictest of the Puritans lookfd on lawyers as ungodly. Fnther-ln-Law Smith was game, end tradition says that he preached down Abigail Adamc. bis gossiping parishioners from this | well-chosen text: "John came neither I eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say he hath a devil!" Although she never went to school, this parson's daughter was by long odds the cleverest in the entire line of our president's wives, her published letters forming a delightfully human document in our too often unhuman history. When John joined the fathers of the republic in the great work of setting up the most masculine government the world ever saw, this mother of the republic hud to stay home te rock the cradle, cook and patch for four little Adamses and to tend the farm. Milking and churning, knitting ?m?i dnrntnsr. teaching and prajlnr. tolling and-saving, abe supported the family, inspired her husband In hla progress to the presidency, and reared a son to follow In the father's footsteps. To Abigail Adams alone belongs the glory of having been the wife of one president and the mother of another. In the war, It f?dl to Adams to do picket duty In Europe. Congress sent him to France with a thoughtful warning to put in the bottom of his dispatch bag plenty of lead or stone or other weighty substance to sink hla papers. For his own neck no protection was proposed In event of the British capturing a signer of the rebel manifesto of July 4, 1776. Neverthe less, ne took with him on the perilous trip his ten-year-old son, John Qutney. On the next voyage, he carried not only John Qulncy, bnt also hla second son, and they were shipwrecked off the const of Spain. After Ave long, anxious years of separation from husband and children, the mother herself sailed to Europe, and the pioneer American woman to appear at the Court of St. James was Abigail, the farmerette of Rralntree. Her presentation costume, according to her own description, was white lutestring "covered with white crepe, festooned with lilac ribbon and mockpoint lace, over a hoop of enormous extent, and with a narrow train three yards lQng; also ruffle cuffs, treble lace ruffles and dress cap, with long lace lappets and two white plumes." "You will he stared nt a great deal," the Duke of Dorset kindly warned the Adamses. On the contrary, every lmck In the court circle wn? turned upon the Yankee rebels and Queen Chnrlotte received Abigail with "contempt and nwi ii. A man ran defend himself always, as Abigail's hnsband did right manfully when It foil to him to bo the flrtd Independent American to stand before the throne of England. George III venturing to Infer from bis supposed dislike of France, a preference for England, bis one-time subject frankly corrected the king: "I must avow to your majesty that I have no attachment bat to iny own country."
