"SERVICE OF GUARANTEED SATISFACTION' HOME OFFICE-Greenwood, South Carolina Great Crowd at Kirksey Yes terday. The Kirksey community had a re . cord crowd at the short course and demonstration yesterday. More than 500 people were in attendance at the day session and at the night meeting the tent was filled to overflowing. The moving pictures proved very popular. The day's program began at 10 o'clock with an interesting and en thusiastic talk by Mr. Mobley, follow . ed by a very forceful talk on Educa . tion by County Superintendent T. E. . Dorn. Mr. Dorn came at the request of trustees of the several schools . which have under consideration the . matter of consolidation. Mrs. Howie talked interestingly about her visit to England and more especially her visit to the Royal Dairy Barns. A barbecue dinner was served at 1 o'clock and the program resumed at 2:30. Mr. Mobley again addressed a large crowd on a subject which might be called "Education which fits one to do the things of this life." Mr. Mob ley used some unique and well pre pared charts which made his talk more impressive. The machinery demonstration be gan at 4:30. The tractor, plowing, harrowing and pulverizing demon stration was held in a nearby pas ture, and was f ollowed by the grind ing demonstration. During this time Mrs. Howie addressed a large crowd of ladies on the subject of Dairying. The motion pictures began at sun down and continued until 10 o'clock. -Greenwood Index. Geraty Gives Advice. J. W. Geraty, a truck planter of South Carolina, declared that if the proposed duty was made effective the cost of potash would be prohibitive to farmers. He told the committee that to produce nearly normal crops the first year the German supply was cut off, because of the accumulated a mount in the land, but said that for the second year the yields fell off 30 per cent and that this year crops on land for which potash was necessary would be only 25 to 30 per cent of normal. The American product, he said, is inferior to foreign potash. FOR SALE: A four-gallon cow, fresh in milk. Apply at THE ADVERTISER OFFICE. To Be No Reduction in Cothing Prices. There is to be no reduction in the present high price of clothing. On the contrary, the cost of cotton and woolen goods is going up steadily and will continue to rise. "The sky is the limit," yesterday declared one of the largest clothing manufacturers in the United States, whose factories are located in this city. "We have arrived at a" new price level, and it is certain there will be no reduction for many years to come," he stated. "Probably by 1930 there may be a gradual decline in the price of textile industry products, but in the meanwhile cotton and woolen goods are due for phenomenal price advances." Especially in cotton goods does he look forward to an even more rapid increase in price that has marked any period since the beginning of the great war. The reason for the recent advance in cotton prices is supplied in the department of agriculture's re cent report on crop condition: 70 per cent stands the lowest ever reported for June. Then, too, there is a reduc tion of 300,000,000 acres in the pre viously planted area estimate. All this points to a short crop. Also there ex ists and will continue to exist for some time to come a tremendous la tent demand for goods and a rela tive shortage of, workers caused by the war. The greater the demand the higher the price, and as the cost of the product is 75 per cent labor, the resultant hngh prices are inevitable. Yet in spite of the rapidly increas ing prices in clothing, both cotton and woolen, trade was never so brisk de clared one of the vice presidents of the Baltimore Bargain House. "The demand for clothing is almost in ex cess of the possibility of supply," he contended. "This demand will not di minish materially till devastated Eu rope establishs herself on a peace time production basis. I am in agree ment with those who believe that this reconstruction in business is going to tax our efforts perhaps even harder than did the war. But I believe there is cause for rejoicing in these condi tions even though accompanied by high prices, for one must remember it is not in its last analysis the price one has to pay, but the relation this r price bears to one's own income."-I Baltimore American. I Bad Teeth Cause Tremendous Economic Loss. A thoughtful business man anc farmer, who has observed the almos! universal neglect of the teeth bj many farm folk and who has suffer ed from the inefficienty which bac teeth produce as follows: "I feel thal few of us realize the amount of time that is lost, to say nothing of the suf fering that is caused these people by neglected teeth." Onr friend is entirely correct, how ever. The loss in efficiency, time and suffering from bad teeth by the masses of country people is a tre mendous one, which might be largely prevented. As a matter of economy the nation, state or community could afford to pay for the service required and save money by the investment. When we started out to pick two or three millions of our best young men to make soldiers out of them we not only rejected some because of the bad condition of their teeth, but we also sent dentists with every unit to repair and maintain in the best possible condition the teeth of those who were in every w^y sound and healthy. Why this care on the part of the Government regarding the teeth of our soldirs? To maintain sound, healthy men, able to stay well and fight strong. A soldier, unfit for ser vice, because of indigestion, rheuma tism, or any other of the many dis eases produced or aggravated by bad teeth, is an economic loss. It costs more to maintain a sick man than a well one in any walk of life. If, then, it is sound practice and economical to give careful attention to the teeth of our soldiers, why is it not sound economy to preserve the health and efficiency of the citizen in civil life, by giving the same assist ance to those who through lack of knowledge of its importance will not give attention to their own teeth? Some attempt has been made to guard the health, and as one feature, to look ofter the teeth of the children in some of our schools; but as a rule this has been confined to the children of the city schools. These children generally need help along these lines less than the children of the country, because they come in closer contact with dentists and doctors, who largely live in the cities and towns. As in many other lines, those most in need of such service have not been reached until recently. Now the State of North Carolina is making a deter mined effort to look after the teeth of country school children as care fully as the teeth of city school chil dren have been looked after. We hope this movement will spread until every Southrn state does its duty in this respect.-Progressive Farmer. Using Rural Telephones. The telephone line in thc country is considered a necessity these days. Farmers will no longer be isolated. Present day requirements make ready and easy communication necessary. The time has come when market ing farm products is one of the most urgent of the farmer's duties. What satisfaction is there in producing large crops when they do not pay a profit upon the labor and capital re quired to produce them? And who en joys having perishable produce de terioate on hand when there are peo ple wanting to pay a fair price for it? The telephone often finds the buyer and then directs the seller how to reach him at least < expense and trouble. For information and pleasure ru ral telephones have grown dn popu larity and lines should be extended till every community is put in touch with the towns and cities. Better roads have increased the demand for telephones. For even if the roads are good no one is anxious for a business trip over them when the telephone will answer the purpose.-Farm and .Ranch. Likes Ford One-Ton Truck. In solving the farmer's transpor tation problems, the Ford one-ton truck I consider unequaled for effi cient, economical and dependable transpo' l.ition. I thf nk it is one of the best on the market. The grain and farm body were both especially de signed and constructed for farm use. With the grain body, grain can be handled in the quickest way. You do not have to lose time in sacking, and this means a lot of time saved if you : have a lot of grain to handle. The ' body is grain-tight in every way. It is made with sills, good floor and side panels. It is braced well, and you can i haul forty-five bushels of grain at a j time. The end gate is removable, hav- . ing a 9x12 inch opening that you can 1 open when you don't want to open the entire end gate. ' The farm body for this truck is one of the most useful that was ever made. It can be used for hauling any kind of a load. For hauling stock it is fitted with stock racks that can be regulated to any height desired. For hauling bulky objects the stakes and panels may be entirely removed. H. M.
