HOT WEATHER POINTERS FOR SHIPPERS OF HOGS. *To prevent losses to hogs in tran sit during hot weather, the live stock department of the Southern Railway System has issued the following sug-. gestions to shippers: Haul or drive hogs to station in ample time to allow them to become rested and cooled before loading. When ordering a car for loading hogs, insist upon a clean one, bedded with sand clay or earth. Wet thoroughly the bedding and interior of car before loading. Give only a small feed of grain before shipping. Heavy feed means more body heat generated. Load not more than one hour be fore the train is to depart. Load slowly and carefully. Avoid excitement and do not bruise or beat the animals. Load not to exceed 14.000 lbs. fat hogs and 16,000 lbs -- "- in a standard .36-ft car during warm weather,. Have water applied to the bedding in the car at available points imme diately after the train stops. Use ice on the floor of car when possible. " blocks to car. Report inattention or neglect Spromptly to superintendent of divi sion --- '-- 2 Never throw water directly upon hoirs after they become heated. Run BETTER BISCUIT CONTEST. Avon Club Girl Winner for Fairfield County. On Friday morning, July 1st, quite a number of Home Demonstration Club girls met at the home of Mrs. Geo. Clowney for the purpose of de ciding the winner from Fairfield county in the "Better Biscuit" con test. The girls were divided into groups and at 10 o'clock the biscuit making began. Miss Lola Snider, State food specialist, scored each girl on the technical way in which she worked. After the biscuits were baked they were scored also and the two scores were added and divided by 2 and thus the final score was obtained. Sheila Kerr, 11 years old, made the highest score, 92 1-2; Mary Pope, next high est. with a score of 92; Dorothy Lig on next highest with a score of 90, and Nell Clarke 87 1-2. All the girls made exellent bis cuits and Fairfield should be proud of their young bread makers and of the good work these girls are doing. In September Sheila Kerr will go with her agent to Spartanburg and compete against all of the county winners in the Piedmont district. If she should win there then she goes to the State Fair and compete for championship in biscuit making in the State of South Carolina. WHY GO TO THE MOUNTAINS?

Spain's *claim wa based o;n the voya.; " of De Soto up the Mississippi *river. Frarnce, through the ex plorations of La Salle from the north and the early entry of i *French priests from Canada, 9 considered this territory theirs. As for England, she rested her claims on the discovery of North i I*America by the Cabots, and in th'e charter granted to Virginia Included all the country lyingi to the West. The French were the first to get a foothold in Ohio, but the * tEnglish pioneers, who shortly Sbegan to drift westward, firm-t ?ly established their settlements Sin the fertile Ohio valley.' Af tter a long period of warfare, iIn which the Indians played a leading part, the Northwest Ter * ritory was finally ceded to the4 +UnIted States by the Treaty of i Independence In 1783. And Vir ginia and other states, which + had laid claim to portions of * this region turned over their t trghts to the federal govern w ent. I The government of the North + west Territory was formally4 created by the ordinance of +1787. People from the East ml-} Sgrated Into this territory in +such numbers that by 1803-Ohiot Iwas taken Into the Union as the *seventeenth state. The fourth *largest state in size of popula *tion, Ohio has 24 electoral votest *for President, while In area, Ywith its 41,040 square miles, itY *rank.s only thirty-fifth, which shows how densely It is popu lated. It is noted as the state of Presidents. President Hard *Ing niakes the seventh Ohioan to fill the presidential office. The name Ohio is dlerived from4 the Iroquois word O-hee-yo, meaning "beautiful river." It was first applied by the Indi ans of the Five Nations to what 4 we now call the Allegheny riv *er, one of the chief tributaries Sof the Ohio. Graduaily the name came to include the whole* river. sometimes even being ap 9plied to the Mississippi. Later *it was confined to the river be tween Pittsburg and Cairo, and Sappropriately the first state formed on its northern bank w 'as named after it. Ohio Is often called the Buckeye State *from its large number of horse *chestnut trees. (@by McClure Newspaper syndicate.) THEY CALLED HIM "WARRY." Appalling Irreverence That Shocked Dignified Butler on Duty at the White House. One of the most imposing butlers now in captivity south of Boston or New York buttles at the White House. He has been on the job for a long time, and nobody of his race in the world could wear his uniform of blue and gold with more distinction or hauteur. He would take a fat part, to speak in stage parlance, against any kind of emperor, and a whole flock of princes would be pie for him in any competi tion for the limelight. He is over six feet tall, and dignity is his middle name. Life, at least while he is on duty. is a terrible serious affair for him, and the smile he gives those he knows Is not one that means anything more than welcome. The wives of two senators called at the White House not long since. As they left, after leaving their cards, as is the custom at times, one of them turned and thought she saw the Presi dent himself behind the curtain of a near-by window. She had known President Harding when he was in the senate and didn't believe very much in dignity and the putting on of dog and such things. "Why." she said, "there's Warry now." The butler overheard. He gasped. The senator's wife turned to him. "Isn't that Warry there?" she asked. The butler almost dropped to the flagstones of the portico. "Yes, mem; no mem," he said rapidly. "I think it was not the Presi dent." "Well, I think it was," insisted the senator's wife. "and when you see Warry you just tell him we caught him that time." Do you suppose that butler delivered the message? Read Secrcts of Parchment. Much of the lore of ancient palimp sests-parchment manuscripts from which the original Writing has been erased and written over at a later date-is about to be laid bare by the mysterious power of the ultra-violet light produced by the mercury-vapor lamps. Previous to 1914 the discov erer of a new method of using the rays, a Benedictine monk of the Bava rian order, had made such progress that many of the ancient parchments in the Benedictine abbey of Wesso brunn had been made to disclose their secrets. In principle the new method is quite simple, being based upon the peculiar ity. possessed by many organic sub stances, of fluorescing-glowing with. a pale canary-colored light-when. brought under the influence of the in visible ultra-violet rays. The old parchments possess this property to a remarkable degree, while the ink of the older writings upon them, contain Ing ingredients insensible to the ac tion of the rays, remains dark and forms a contrast of sufficient intensity to register clearly on a photographic plate. Old paintings, overlaid with ne.- ones on the original canvas, have also been discovered by this me hmL Popula Inl echanics M1agazine. Society Plays Craps. Craps no longer can be referred to eetlusively as "Afriean golf." It is. just at the moment the amusement par excellence of debutante New York -that is, at such timnes as there are no men about to make dancing elimi nate the fascination of the little ivory cubes. Nearly every jewelry store and novelty shop in towvn is dlisplaying sets of these cubes in silver and gold cases, fit for a place ,in any miesh bag carried on the Avenue. And it has even been suggested by some flippant soul that with the present length of skirts worn by the girls in question artistically embroidered knee pads will have to come nat. For no real crap player of the days when it was confined to quiet alley corners would be without his pads to protect his knees while he knelt on the hard stones to "shoot."-Pittsburgh Leader. Sewn Plywood. In England there has recently ap peared a special plywood material for' aircraft construction. 'This material, we are told, must not be confounded with ordinary plywood, for it is some thing infinitely superior. It is a super plywood, so claims jts manufacturer, which is actually sewn together. The layers are first cemented together with waterproof material and then stitched through in parallel rows about 1%, Inches apart. This gives a rigidity and resilience unattainable by any other methodl. Weight for wveight, it is the strongest material yet evolved. The sheets are made to any desired size or sharpe uI$ to 8 feet wide by 60 feet long, andi from one-eighth tin live eighths inch thick, thus eliminating waste in the conversion.-Seienttc Ame'rican.

"No," replied Senator Sorghum "When a nman succeeds in getting sent to Washington it is sometimes his besi play to c:>nvey the impression that he! is engaged in intense and silent thoughts." NOT SUCH A HARD BOILED CROWD. Just how hard boiled a crowd the present crop of communists in Ger many is may be gathered from the putting down of a riot in Coblenz. It took 20 American riilitary police just about five minutes to put down the uprising. Had Coblenz not been in the allied occupation district there would have been stories in the newspapers day after day, telling how bad those com. munists were, how they tore up everything in sight, creating carnage all around them. It would have taken German forces a week to have got the communists to the point where they would behave half wa. reasonably. Burnings and shootings Co Now S Price I I.
