Cooper, of this * State, is one of the eight executives b to have the distinction of being the * first in history of the organized ? fight on tuberculosis to take such ' official action. While the Governor will be unable to be present at the 3 conference his views will be known 0 there. He wrote Governor A. H. of Tennessee, to the effect 5 that he will not be able to leave the [J Stite on that date. The other exe- f cutives who will combine their ef- *1 forts to protect the people from tuberculosis are from Arkansas, P Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Ken- 1 tacky and Mississippi.

A ^ _ tneir trouoies, uw. , ax Indications point to greatly re-,le duced crops next year because of this bi discontent, according: to Senator Capper, Kansas, publisher of several ag-| ricultural papers. Farmers are not planning to strike' exactly, but there is a general ex-j fj, pectation that acreage will be greatly reduced, Senator Capper said in' an interview. I =55 Low profits, labor shortages, high wages and rising costs of implements ? are some of the reosons assigned; j "The American farmer won't go on' strike, but he is getting mighty sul-' ten#" Senator Capper declared.' 4iWhj&at acreage will fall toff prob-j ably one-third next year and the gen-; era! crops are going to be smaHer. j "I don't think there is any con-j oavfa/l mnuomont amnntf +.VlP faTBiers along this line.No farm ^rganiza-1 . ttons, so far as J know, bftve adopted resolutions urging a deliberate cur-J tailing of production.

I / Rural mail carriers \ in South Carolina will reveive approximately $40,000 in back pay in accordance with the new schedule of salaries adopted by congress and becoming a law on November 8, according to officials of the Columbia postoffice, where all pay checks are made out tor carriers. The increase went into effect on the above date, but it is; retroactive to July 1, the beginning of the fiscal year., This will amount to nearly $40,000 according to Postmaster Thomas B.- Madden, who will be required to write out the y checks. In the back pay only regular, ' carriers will be benefited, the law ^ , allowing none for substitutes and temporary men. The yearly increase in salaries, for these same carriers will amount to practically $160,000 which seems1 to be' a considering jump in wages,1 but, considering the individual in-; crease, it is not as high as might at first be thought Mr. Madden said yesterday most of the money would be paid to carriers at an average of about $200 a year increase. ! Every quarter carriers are paid appioximately $350,000 for their; work and the checks are all written . by the Columbia postmaster, this be-j ing the central paying office. The yearly amount paid reaches over: $1,500,000. / NATIONAL THRIFT WEEK START ON JANUARY17| I Washington, Nov. 14. ?Efforts; by the treasury department to start the country off in a new year on aj ~_n.nn.own rtf +VlTlf+ tVimilch the Ob- I pi V^ICUU VJ.

Hprp is an a examole: In the writer's county a company of farmers* operate a warehouse. In charge of this warehouse as directors are some level-headed farmers with good business judgment, who J have also retained a good local, lawyer as their attorney. Into this community recently came some agents selling stock in a Florida soft phosphate mining company, and making all kinds of promises to prospective investors. The farmers in this community said to the agent: "Well, we should like to have the combined judgement of our best men about pour proposition. We will get'our g Doard of directors to meet ate such | in hour, together with our attorney. | rod you may come before them ana | :ell them your proposal. Then if | ifter their investigation they think ! t safe and wise for us to invest our | noney with you, we will do so." The igent, of course, had to agree that .his was a fair enough proposition ind promised to meet the. directors. 3ut when the appointed time for the neetirig came, he was nowhere to be 'ound.
