sent out a few cards to prominent

they would receive a book contain- t

of our young attorneys signed, and e

literature just called by to see them, t
shake their hands and to tell them s
-about the books which were to be B
offered for sale by the salesmen who \
are to come. e
Incidentally he showed them a t
few endorsements of the books they
were selling: given out by certain c
lawyers in Chicago and elsewhere j
and by Wm. Jennings Bryan, if you
have ever heard of him. He stated f
that the endorsements of the book j
+ by such men were worth a great deal j
to his company, as would be the i
endorsement of certain of our young E
attorneys, politicians, etc., and they j
were willing to pay for the en- f
dorsements by fixing the price of the j
books at $72.00 and knocking off f
about forty per cent. Of course g
this offer was not made to everyone, c
only those on the inside with in- fc
A# tlio
uucuuu me tuvi c yivuiuivuv v* wmv
members of the bar, whose names
would count. The endorsement of
each one to whom he spoke, meant
/ about five sales to his company. The
president- of the company he said
knew this from the reputation of ?
the attorneys.' And the young at- a
torneys reached for their pens, and j
the hawk had caught some more lit- a
tie ehickens. N
This reminds us of an experience b
which Judpe Frank B. Gary had with
a representative of Colliers some 3
years ago. Mind you, we say "rep- v
resenative," because he was no ?
book agent, he said as much himself. ^
Judge Gary was then a lawyer, and
a hawk had caught him sometime be- 8
fore and he had sworn with a mighty t
oath that when he got out of Col- c
tier's claws he would . never get n
caught again. By and by the in- j
stallments were all paid, and a little
time had elapsed, giving the lawyer f
"cooling time." About this time
the "representative" put in his ap- y
pearance. He was all smiles, and
called lawyer Gary, "Counsellor."
He was very anxious to know about t
the Counsellor's health, and so was ,
Mr. Collier. Mr. Collier, he stated, T
bad been somewhat worried that the
counsellor had not sent in any orders
for books recently, and, while
he did not say so in so many words, ?
.jipprpssion was, that Mr..-jollier
had sent him all the way to^ Abbe- Villeto1
see vhat :tho * trouble was *
with ?be counselor.' The \ couiu$jft| ,
J^^baated; .to ,"1he. representative.. in *
no very complimentary terms ' his
opinloU' 61'Mr. Collier and especially ?
of the fellows who came around at
the wrong time every month making
the collections. The representative e
exclaimed, "Oh, counsellor, Mr. 3
Collier will be so grieved to hear 61
you speak thusly of him, and espe- 8
cially of the poor young men who b
are working so hard! so far away 7
from home, in a vain effort to keep v
life going in the brothers and sisters 8
who are in the far west struggling
themselves to "keep breath in the e
body.' The representative and Mr. t
Collier knew that the counsellor had 8
not lost his appreciation of good a
books, and if the counsellor did not 8
appreciate certain publications the
trouble must be with the books. *
Alter awhile the counsellor be- c
gan to cave in. He made the mis- 1
- take of arguing with another man *
that other man's case. The two got 8
confidential after awhile, and in a 1
little while the representative left? 1
the order was for $49.50 which he
carried away with him. r
And thus it is that there is noth- *
ing which works like appealing to ;
a man's vanity, and the show of ap- c
nreciation of one's self by another. s

PLANT FOOD CROPS.
?
In a previous issue, we advised ?
the farmers of Abbeville county to <
plant food crops, and not to make 3
the mistake of planting only a money c
:rop. The advice which we gave to |
hem has been given to the bankers
ill over the country in a letter mail- ?"
(d by the Federal Reserve Bank of
Richmond, in which the bankers of
he south are urged to impress upon **
he farmers of this section the nec- a]
sssity of planting enough food crops
o at least supply their own demands
'or another twelve months. x 51
In the letter referred to, atten- ,
fr> tVio fact fknt thA
tood crops of the United States for w
[916 were a billion and a quarter ei
mshels short of the crop of 1916,
ind something less than two millions
hort of a five year average, alhough
the population of the coun- ^
ry has considerably increased in e
hat time. The food crops of the "
Northern Hemisphere for 1916 were (
tear two and a half billion bushels
hort ; jf jhe .previous ysak "l f ' ^
In additiqn to this it is stated that ,
n Arj^&ftra where nearly hun- a
Ired ogigrtns o? bushels c of~%heat r<
rere produced in ,191 & the crop is s
practically a failure.*"' *
The end of the war, if it should
ome, will only make the demand in H
his country .increase because of the
act that it will be easier and less n
expensive to make deliveries to for- tl
iurn countries then than now. and fi
here can be no increase in the ^
rops for a twelve month. The coninuance
of the war will also mean u]
, continuance of the present de- bl
aands for these products, so that ^
whatever happens in Europe we may ^
ixpect unprecedented demands upon g<
he United States f<jr all food crops, fi
There will be no profit in raising
otton at even twenty cents per
tound if the farmers of this section ti
lo not raise enough corn and other iz
ood stuffs to feed the stock on the
ilantations. The present prices be
ng paid for corn and oats makes it n
mpossible to continue to buy the a
lecessary amounts for farming pur- c<
toses and have prosperity on the J
arms. And there will be no overproduction.
There is a market now n:

Tain in the country and there will

MAKE A SALAD GARDEN. ?
tf
Bi
flBy Mary Starbuck) r
For a woman amateur, a salad
arden is a safe experiment. It need V(
ot take much room and the results ^
re fairly sure to be satisfactory. _
lesides giving variety to the table Q|
nd a wholesome interest to the
ardener, it is in itself a thing of r
eauty from start to finish. *
A plot fifteen . or twenty feet u
quare will supply salad through the
rhole summer for a large family
nd also yield occasional gifts for ^
be neighbors. Ft
Of course, lettuce is the great qJ
tandby and there should be two or ft
bree varieties, one of them russet &
olored. This particular kind does
ot head up as most of the others,
t is, however, tender and of fine
lavor, while its color gives it value c?
or use with other salads. ' In the ^
arden the great dark heads are In
ery effective, glowing in the sun- {
bine like burnished copper. |{
Lettuce should be sown at least I
vrice during the season?first in 1
ipru or may, ana again tne lan oz S1
une. The second crop mast be
arefally watched and thoroughly of
watered from the time it first ap- ?
ears. If the earth gets dry and ^
iard it must be loosened, aboutr;, the >
ender plants until the Ieaves^'noM
uffciently to keep it moist. ^ ^
;*Nfext to Witdce in value is tfcre
tifiy Ifre8s/^^cfe; ian be (u?ed!<
ettuce or by Itself. It issalso, for _
ertain dishes, ? more delicately ef
ective garnish than parsley. _
Cress comes to maturity very ?$
arly, and if let alone, will sow it- ?
elf and produce a second crop by
he last of August, but better results I
re obtained by cutting back the
loRfloma an norm as thev annnar and
rhen the stems get too tough for
ise pull up the plants and make a
econd sowing in July.
In fact, three crops may be count*
d on if one wishes to take the U
rouble. One planting of parsley is
ufflcient It never fails, grows *
abundantly and lasth tender and y
Teen until the heavy frosts come.
Radishes can be sown every two 0
reeks during the summer. The later ^
rops must be well watered and
hould be pulled as soon as they are J]
arge enough for a good bite. Late- q
Town radishes seem to get wormy kaore
readily than those sown in the X
noist soil of the early spring. ,
Cucumbers take a good deal of L
oom but are so delicious eaten from
he dewy vines, tender and crisp I
without the ghastly chill of the ice
:hest, that they are well worth the
ipace they require and are also ^
vorth the trouble.
Sometimes the cucumbers need a
jood deal of looking after in the
:anjr jliic yuuxig piaiius cvsn
before blossoming, often turn
rellow and if not attended to soon Iry
up and die.
The malady is caused by a tiny
lsect which attacks the under side
f the leaves. The remedy is simple!
Sprinkle the leaves thoroughly
ith red pepper, taking care to peper
well the under side. One or two
pplications will be sufficient
After the blossoms appear an in*r>f.
of nnnnnVi.hiicf vnriphf nr>mo.
mes is found on the vines. This,
owever, is easily discovered and
isposed of. Keep cucumbers well
atered and if the earth cakes, loosa
it.
All these salads except the cucumer
should be sown in rows unless^
le garden is very small. Jn that
ise make an outside border for
ittuce, not forgetting to thin out
rientlessly as usual, when there are
>ur leaves above the ground.
Sow an inside border of cregJT ;>

While it is extremely annoyig
