C., April 29, 1920. 1 Some new administration will be in power in Washington one year from 1 now, but what a roughhouse we will * have to go through meantime if ' ? ? Hoover says he does not kqow what a either of the political parties stands c for. As the parties don't know what t Hoover stands for the situation mustl te 50-50. Is ft It is said that a white man always ,E n wishes to appear younger that hej* really is, but when a black man reach-1 es the age of 60 he pretends that he't ?nvwhdrn from 75 to 90 |r \ The wise man will pay little atten- ^ tion to the quotations of Liberty i Bonds. They are worth par and in-'l< terest at the final showdown, andll that is the time to wait for. The fel-1 low who sells his Liberties is doing t the buyer a great financial favor. c c Q The big and near-big cities lack t Sufficient houses to accommodate the _ throngB from the country who are in ]j town trying to shake down somd hon- g est pennies while the shaking is good, ii When the man shaking down process o gives out they'll return to the coun- I try and there will be plenty of houses ? in town, with low rentals. c The United States received 3,100,- 0 000 hides duty free from Argentina d in 1919. This was 60 per cent of the j total Argentinian exports of hides. c The question naturally arises, if there t is a scarcity of shoes in this country, v what must they be in other countries. 1< The fact is, however, there are plen- t - * Aiirrnnt 17 or suues uuuttuauic ai vu* prices. THE FORECAST WAS WRONG. 9 ! When the war was under way, it a was predicted on every hand that f army life would give the city fellows c a taste of outdoor life that they would si not care to relinquish when they re- s turned to civil life. c It was freely expected, therefore, d that when the war was over thous- * ends of youths would rush to the 0 country. We were told that they nev- i. er again would be satisfied with be- g ing "cooped up" in city factories. * The war has been over for some d time and the bovs are all back. But h instead of city fellows treking to the p oountry, they have remained right in o the cities, and the country fellows o have in large numbers abandoned the 0 farms and gone to the cities. And that is one of the chief reas- ^ ons for the lack of hired help on the farm( the menace of under-production, and the possibilities of a nearfamine in the near future. a Duriug the war and the period of p reconstruction which followed pub- ei Ushers of newspapers had to over- e come many difficult problems, but o the most serious problem they have had to face during this period is the 8 shortage in the now rapidly diminish- t] ing supply of newspaper. The public does not know and probably does not ' ooncern itself about the supply of jj newspaper. That is a matter which the publisher must worry over. The j] publisher has been worrying. Like jj the traveler who loses himself in thejtl c\ nonrf onH nonq OVPfV mAATlfi in tlis 121 -V-WV ., power to conserve his rapidly dimin-|h ishing supply of water, the publisher ti has been making desperate efforts to f< conserve his supply of newspaper, I hoping that "something would hap- 0 pen to relieve the situation. But that "something" has not happened and he , is facing a crisis. Newspaper has advanced from 2 cents a pound in 1914 to 10 and 15 cents a pound in 1920, and it is hard to get at any price. The Chicago Tribune is advising the pub- p lie not to buy "The Tribune." It is ti urging friends and neighbors to lend d the paper to their other friends and ti neighbors. It is printing only a limit- C ed number each day in order to con- e serve its supply of paper. The big n New York papers have reduced from s< 24 and 32 pages to 8 and i2 pages. u They have adopted the slogan "News ? first," and are refusing to take advertising. Many of the weekly news- Q papers are reducing to two and four jj pages. The situation is serious and w there is no relief i1 sight. The Her- L aid bought a big s ly or paper last tl summer and has enough to run until June 1st. It has the promise of sev- e: eral shipments in May, but at a price ii that would make an oil magnate gasp F for breath. Many newspapers are suspending publication and many more a will suspend before the year is out. The Herald may have to reduce to four or probably two pages, but The Herald is not going to suspend until print paper becomes as valuable ten <*WTar bills. a rr HARD LIQUOR IS MADE FROM ROCKS. 11 Greensburg, Pa., April 21.?What some people regard as a heaven sent relief has made this town a mecca for thirsty prospectors from all over Western Pennsylvania. Reports of the existence of a 'whiskey rock" on the big Huffendale farm near here caused a rush of strangers that makes li h? town look like a boom commun- p ity of the old west. According to the e report, a chip from the rock when t dissolved in water, would make a pint of hard stuff with a real kick. i The farm is big and has many rocks. The stone that has alcoholic \ properties has so far not been defi-.l nltely located. I <OKTY NINE CENTS BUYS BOY'S SUIT. | iome Demonstration Agents Teach Women How to Combat High Cost of Living. Home Demonstrations throughout he state are teaching women prac | ical ways to combat old H. C. L. The ollowing quoted letter was written o home demonstration headquarters' it Winthrop college by an enthusi.stic little woman who is a member j. if a home demonstration club in New-' ?erry couniy; , "I was thrilled and my husband oon knew about it. I had come from lie home demonstration club with so nany ideas and suggestions for makng over clothes for my children, a >oy of five and a girl of three. "On my next trip to town, I visited he bargain cohnter and for 49 cents mrchased a ladies crash dress that) iras out of style. Within three days' ime this dress had been transformed nto a boy's pretty suit, a thing I had ong wanted. Yes, and I had the inen crash suit for 49 cents. "In a few days' time I was again in own and saw the display of children's oats and capes. Mildred must have >ne this winter, but the price. What ould I do for the child? Then came he vision of mamma's old plush cape -one that had served its days in her Ifetime. But with deft fingers this eeming worthless cape was changed uto a little girl's coat. With scraps f velvet from several of my old hats, made her a bonnet, straight front nd gathered crown and back, lining t with colored ribbon at a cost of 50 ents. Many were the compliments n the 50 cent cap and coat. "All this help I owe to the home emonstration club meetings. This is ust one phase of the work that is arried on in our club and I can but hlnk what a great help it is to the romen in the community to be able to earn the best methods of doing all hings about the home." o TWO STRATA OF OIL. cepages Found on Five Forks farm. Clio, April 24?Drilling operations re progressing daily at the Five 'orks by the Marlboro Oil Developing ompany. The well is at a depth of omething like 100 feet, and two trata of "oil*' seepage have been enounterea already. One was at a epth of about 30 feet and the other ras encountered yesterday at a depth f 70 feet The first was very limited but the itter was more pronounced and of a reater quantity. A prominent operator was here toay and, having seen the surroundigs, is enthusiastic over the prosects and is trying to secure options n adjoining lands, with the promise f further development and exploiting f the oil possibilities of this section. , o 'he Dillon County Warehousing and Marketing Corporation.

Alf of those presnt paid into the treasury 20 per cent i their subscriptions.

This leeting is called for Saturday morn1 g. May 1st, at 11 o'clock. Everyone who has subscribed to lis stock is earnestly requested to ly aside everything else and attend lis meeting.

Many a tired lad has slipped his eoat on when the whistle blew and said derisively: "Another day, another dollar. A million days, a millionaire." i He has said a mouthful In bitter Jell and without knowing It For the dollars do pile up If the stack Is not knocked over. Seme inaaelal sharpshooter la always gunning for your dollars. They ^ can pick them off at a mile like A% nle Oakley eracklng clay pipes in a shooting gallery.

For years the following statement fro a Dillon resident has withstood this sternest of all tests. C. E Peck, Dillon, gave the followI ing statement December 21, 1914: > "My kidneys were out of order and I I had dull pains in the small of my , back. I was so sore and lame I could I hardly bend and it was just as herd , to straighten. I had headaches and I spells of dizziness. The secretions passed irregularly and I had other ) symptoms of kidney trouble. I reed of Doan'a Kidney Pills and after ua) ing them as directed soon got relief from my trouble. I keep Doan's on | hand now and when a kidney medicine is needed they never fall to give I good results."
