It is said that a white man always ,E

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

the buyer a great financial favor. c

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.

The United States received 3,100,- 0

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 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

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

iome Demonstration Agents Teach
Women How to Combat High

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."

A MERCILESS JUDGE.
i
One Who Shows No Favor.
A merciless judge is Father Time.
! Before him the weak and the wanting
! go to the wall. Only the truth can
stand. 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."
LASTING BENEFIT
I On January 29, 1918 Mr. Peck said:
"I have had better health the last
! four years than I have ever had in
my life. I give the credit to Doan's
| Kidney Pills as they gave me a cure
four years ago. I am glad to confirm
| my statement of 1914."
