The re >ort says the companies con:erned have agreed to show their 'arious relationships on their containers and letterheads. The commission's investiga ion was made in compliance vith resolutions introduced last ear by Senator Simmons of s'orth Carolina to whom faraers had complained regarding he high price of fertilizers, $150,100,000 worth of which was conumed by the American farmers ti 1914. In a letter to the Sen te, accompanying the report, he commission asserts that there re in the United States 800 conerns operating some 1,200 plants, >ut that seven of the large com' >anies, the largest being the Virginia-Carolina Chemical "ompany and the American Agicultural Chemical Company, ontrol 58 per cent of the. total utput. It is asserted that the rices paid by iarmers for mixed ertilizers have been high in omparison with the cash value f the constituent elements, artlv because of credit condilocs and expensive distributing; aethods of the large companies. A World of Grunterf The world today is an aggre :ation of grunters. From vouth to old age life is ust one big grunt after another. In infancy we grunt from the :olic, and in maturity we grunt rom over eating or "bolting" >ur food, with its consequent in ligestion, or from the pangs ol tunger.

If we hold public office we ;runt when our constituents in ist upon our living up to 0111 iledges, while if we are defeated it the polls we grunt because the fools elected that maverick >ver the way." If the city dads vote funds for peal improvements we grunt tecause it was not in accordance vith our desires, while if they leed our advice we grunt beause they were too stingy. We grunt at our school teachrs because they insist upon bedience to the rules of the .u~: - - * uuwui in meir enons 10 install a ittle knowledge into the heads >f our offspring, while if they ail we grunt because they have lot developed and educational yonder from a brain that is be dw par. We grunt at the preacher yhen he speaks out the truth, nd we grunt at him if he don't. We grunt at the merchant, nd the doctor, and our beasts of urden, and even the dog and tie cat gel a grunt and a kick. Yes, this world is one great ggregation of grunters, and a cvv are even in cur own midst. But let us hope there are no runters in paradise,- -Exchange. Ford Sues Papes For $1,000,000 Damages Chicago, Sept- 7.?Suit for $1,000,000 was filed by. Henry Ford, the Detroit manufacturer, against The Chicago Tribune in the United States District Court here today. Mr. Ford asks for personal damages as compensation tor an editorial printed in , The Tribune June 23, which, it ; is charged, called Ford an "anarchist." The bill charges that The Tribune "sought to bring the plaintiff into public hatred, contempt, | ridicule and financial iniurv.' bv publishing the editorial. The editorial, it is charged, referred to Mr. Ford as "ignorant, a deluded human being" and "an anarchist enemy to the Nation which protects him in his wealth." The editorial alto charged that employes of Mr. Ford's would lose their positions if they went to the border as members of the National Guard. Two Ways to Rent Tom Brown is goin' to move agin and so also is Brother Ben. It seems they're never satisfied, t but always are content to slide ?to move about from place to place?a sore spot to the human race.

In Progressive Farmer. Aid The Theachers i Higher Education our slogan. I make this statement without fear of any sane man contradict ing it. Because if it were not true why do parents send their : children to school? I do not mean when I say higher education, college education alone, any education means higher education.

Turner, Orphan Work Day The custom has grown up of having one day in the year set aside as Orphan Work Day. That means that all friends of the orphans work on that da* and whatever they make, they send to various denominational orphanages. More and more the custom has spread until now it means a great deal to the orphanages. This year, Sept. 3C is Orphan Work Day. Whatever you make on that day, if you are a Presbyterian, it should be sent to Thornwell Orphanage, Clinton, S. C.. for it is the Presbyterian Orphanage offJeortrifl. FInriHil nnA Qm.fli n , a. UUU UVU 111 Carolina. Many children, fatherless and motherless, are there from your State, and they are being train in hand, head and heart. If it were not for Thorn well Orphanage they would not get this training;. If you are a Baptist send your contribution to Connie Maxwell Orphanage, Greenwood. If you are a Methodist Protestant send your money to Methodist Protestant Orphanage at Greensboro, N. C. If you are a Methodist Episcopal send it to the Epworth Orphanage, Columbia, S. C. Will you not, then, set yourself to work on the 30th, and get others to work, and send that dav's income to your little brothers and sisters, who must be cared for, and whom you love , to help? Remember the day, Sept. 30th. Cut this out and read it to the members of your family. OH, Rats. ? Randolph paper contains a business proposition written by a Randleman barber which indicates that he has improved his 1 time between shaves and hair cuts. The scheme follows: I am contemplating organizing a company for the purpose of starting- a cat ranch, the rate tn be killed for their fur. The ranch will be located near Randleman. To start we will collect 1,000,000 cats. Each cat will average 12 kittens per year. The skins 1 sell from 10 cts., each for the white ones to 75 cts., for the pure black. This will give us 12,000,000 skins per year, which 1 at an average of 30 cents, each will make our revenue about $10,000 per day gross A man can skin 50 cats per dav for $2. It will take about 100 men to operate the ranch and therefore the net profit will be about $9,800 per day. We will feed the cats on rats, and will start a rat ranch next door. The rats will multiply four times as fast as the cats; therefore, if we start with 1,000,000 rats we will have 4 rats per day for each cat, which is a plenty. Then we will feed the rats on the carcasses of the cats from which the skins have been taken, giving each rat a quarter of a cat, it will thus be seen that the ranch will be self-sustaining. The cats will eat the rats, and the rats will eat the cats, and we will get the skins. Hot Lasses in His Shoes Monroe Journal. Mr. Bob Carnes, who formerly lived in Monroe, but who now lives in South Carolina, just across the Union county line, suffered the misfortune Wednesday to severelv burn his foot while making molasses. His rake got caught, and in attempt ing to release it, pulled it towards himself most too strong, result inc in some of tho hot linni<i I running into his shoes. Meeting of The Chesterfield W. M. U. The annual gathering of the Chesterfield W. M. U. at Cross Roads church on September ft?ft was a great success. The attendance was good and the interest manifested was splendid. We had with us Miss Jessie King of Columbia and Miss Mary Adams of Darlington who helped us very much, The demonstration given by the Pageland W. M. L\ on Tuesday afternoon was fine. This society is on the honor roll for this year, having met every requirement made of it by the State Union. It was a pleasure/to hear their great report; not only have they done exceedingly well financially but they have done others | things among them the report of 6 mission study classes was very good. We feel justified in saying that we are indeed proud of the Pageland W. M. S. It is a jov to work with such noble wide awake women. Our union is progressing wonderfully having made an increase of nine societies this year and given more than we were asked for. Mrs B. S. Funderburg was reelected piesident of the Chesterfield division and Mrs. J. R. King president of the Pageland division. The Supt., wishes to try to express her sincere appreciation of the confidence the session has shown in her by asking her to serve them again as supt. This 0 ^ 1 1 re" la a veiy rusponsiDit ouice and when one thinks of the time when an account must be given of how we filled it it is a serious ~ ? thing but by the help and cooperation of the noble Baptist women of our Association we v aro going to keep right on hoping yet to reach still higher planes in our work. The next annual meeting will be held with the Pageland church next September. Edna V. Funderburk Essay on the Duck. Chicago Journal. A little school girl in Michigan has written the following essay on the duck: The duck is a low, lieavyset bird, lie is a mighty poor singer, having a coarse voice, caused by getting so many frogs in his neck, and he likes the water and carries a toy balloon in his stomach to keep from sinking. The duck lias only two legs, and they are set so far back on their running gears by nature that they come pretty near missing his body, some ducks when thev get big curls on their tails are called drakes and don't have to set or hatch, but just loaf and go swim ming and eat everything in sight if I were to be a duck 1 would rather be, a drake they have a wide wide bill like they use it ior a spade thep walk like drunk man side to side il you scare them they will flap the r wings and try to make a pass ai sinking. Didn't Stop the War Monroe Journal. A month or so ago the newspapers were full of the wonders of a prophet who claimed that he could tell all kind of things in advance anil that he could tell when wars would begin and when they would end. September 7 was the time when the \\ ar in Europe was to end accordi ig to this nrnnhot Thai %vac * . .c terday, and so far we have not heard that the war has ended. Yet folks will helieve the next fake that comes along.
