Ix>ok Out For Them. - From different parts of the country i come stories of a swindle successfully worked on farmers who thought they were going to get cheap groceries. Two smooth strangers went through the communities taking orders for a house In Chicago, pretending to sell a stand ard brand of sugar and Hour so cheap ly that every farmer visited took from $10 to $00 worth, and other things he sides. Hecause of the low prices the Hour and sugar had to he "paid in ad vance." It is alle^l that In one com munity the swindlers picked up some $.'t.OOO and no groceries delivered.

SUCCESS OR FAILURE MADE IN THE SPRING ?i i x |in>p p Prof. H?re Urge* Poultry uien Z io Now" and Sug gests Things To Do. Lliiuu vvixuL -u. flllls to do lit this KCHNOII <l?t|K*lltlH 111 largo measure whether the year will lit? for 1)1 iu a wucceew of failure. This, says V. 0, Hare. poultry husbandman of Olemson College, 1m the seaaon of all seasons when a man who breedM fowls needs to be constantly working with, hi* birds and l'rof. Hare has made up a* "l>o It now" Hat in which he offers to |H>ultry breeder* some brief sugges t Ioiis of tasks that await them in the early spring. These suggestions fob Mow : Decide to increaso egg pro<luetion next season. Give this problem all the time you (in sj>aro for It. Here are Home of the ways of going about it: Breed froiu your best layers if i>os alhle ; if you cannot distinguish them, then select the h<H?s '-with -'-wl com got h I space (about three llngera' width) between the pelvic bones, and about I four fingers width from pelvic bones to the rear end of the breast bone. Mate such layers with a good, vig orous male, allowing him from ten to tlfteon pullets. Hree<l from young males rather than from two-year or three-year males. Dust the sitting hen with insect powder before giving her the eggs. On the eighteenth day of, incuba tion, immerse the eggs in water of 10<1 degrees temperature (Just warm to the hand). This moistens the membranes or skins inside the shell. Fowl the baby chicks ? when thirty hours old ? a hard-boiled egg, cut up and rolled In oatmeal until it is of a crumbly consistency. Feed them the egg on a piece of cardboard 8 times, daily, giving only a little each time.' Keep dry wheat bran before them if you have It. Feed a mixture of grits, oatmeal, millet seed tffid rice three times daily, scattering it in llttor to make thu chicks exercise. Buy a few sittings of eggs for hatch ing, or some baby chicks, *jf you wish to improve your stock. Clean and whitewash your poultry house. Orease the hens with mercurial oint ment to kill lice. Iiuy the thirty-three per cent ointment and rub a small por tion, of half the size of a pea, on the tlesh under the bird's vent Grease a space of the size of a quarter-dollar piece and you will kill all the lice on the fowl. ? One application monthly is sufficient. If in doubt as to how to carry out any of these suggestions, write to CI mson College and all questions that you ask will receive prompt attention. Immense Hond Issue For Roads. In the house of representatives the Kichland delegation has presented a bill providing a bond issue of $1,250, (H)0 for the building of highways In Richland county. The bill was pre sented with the unanimous approval of the delegation. It is stated, only one member objecting to the act it self Issuing the bonds instead of sub mitting the proposition to the people to be voted upon. This is the largest bond issue ever [made in the south for the purpose of | road building. The measure provides 1 for an automobile tax supplemented with a property tax for the purpose of paying" the interest and creating a sinking fund for the retiring of the bonds.

They entered the churchyard and, seeking a secluded spot behind the old church, sat down on an old tomb and began to eat their sandwiches. Nobody objected.
