This ? last week was a record breaker with I the magnificent gift of one million i ? dollars from John D. Rockefeller, Jr., i r' the largest individual gift yet receiv- i ly s-' ed by Mr. Hoover for the Invisible 1 Y guests. I ?\ - Mr. Elliott says, however, that even \ I \\ with this splendid gift the goal is on- ] t \ ; ly half reached in South Carolina as V well as throughout the country. The t V minimum quota for State is < ? V 476,000 and South C, ^ has alii ready given, taking i.-; ^^tpsldera1 flnn mil th. mnnnr N?V * York through all sources together with that not yet reported to National Headquarters, approximately |18,000. Therefore, we must raise, urges llr. Elliott, the other half asked of us If South Carolina Is to keep up her end of the line as she always does. We will do this if every South Carolinian fully realises that there are two starring children in Central Europe for erery man, woman and child in this state, white or black. Erery one should, therefore, become a self-appointed member of the State's organisation to sare a life, if not two, and to get and to glre as much money aa they possibly can for these starring little children. One dollar a month ? not a day, as it would have cost except under Mr. Hoover's splendidly organized methods?will feed and save a child's life. All checks in South Carolina should be made payable to Franklin E. Lane, Treas., European Relief Council, and sent to William Elliott, State Chair- ] man, Masonic Temple, Columbia, S.

D." uniform here and is now on 1 the road to recovery after suffering l many months from a mysterious "lung trouble" that baffled physi- ! clans. Ij^.vis was wounded in the Argonne on October 2, 1918, and spent sever- 1 al months in hospitals in France. J Some months after the armistice he was discharged and returned to Red Lodge. For two years he haB suffered agonising pain from an affliction of the left lung that physicians were unable to diagnose." Recently Davis came to Boulder lor vocational training at the University of Colorado but his ailment had lronf him /tnnfinmi fn hn^ mush *hn time and little hope was entertained for his life. During a sever? coughing spell two large pieceB of substance were emitted and upon microscopic and chemical analysis were discovered to be parts of his oliv? drab shirt and blouse that were shot into the lung by a bullet. o McCOLL CITIZENS BELIEVE IN CHURCH.

Columbia. Jan. 31?The executive i council of the South Carolina Bankera association, at a meeting in Co- i lumbia, yesterday discussed at length 1 a bill, In traduced in the general assembly, by Representative Sapp, of Richland county which seeks to make i purchase money mortgages on auto- ; mobiles come ahead of the attach- < ment lien for damages. It was the un- t animous opinion of the members ef i the council that some action should i be taken at once to amend the ex- ] isting lew, and the bankers express- < ed the opinion that the proposed 1 amendment to th? i? ther and provide that any bona fide t mortgage on an automobile should < come ahead of the attachment Hen. i It was decided to ask the commit- i teee of the house and senate to 1 hear a committee from the bankers < on the proposed legislation. The bank- i era took the opinion that the farmers i and business men of the state are i now compelled to us? every form of I collateral available. mortgage on I an automobile Is now practically i worthless because of the law in this < state which gives an attachment lien i for damages priority. < The following statement was given 1 out by W. 8. Fraser, president and 1 Lee O. Holleman, secretary, after the < meeting of the executive council yes- t terday. I "The executive council of the South ] Carolina Bankers association, in ses- i slon in Columbia, took up for discus- < ion th? pending bill in the leglsla- { ture by Representative Sapp (House i ? Bill No. 8), which seeks to make < i purchase money mortgages on auto- t T . mobiles come ahead of the attach- ? " ment lien for damages. i "It was unanimously agreed that c some action should be taken at once c to amend the existing law and the ^ committee felt that the proposed t amendment should go further and ] proviae mai any bona fide mortgage 1 should dome ahead of the attachment J lien as now provided by law eepe- t dally in new of the fact that many 1 of the farmers and buslnees men of ! th? statp are now compelled to use i every form of collateral available. |< "It was decided to ask for a re- i hearing before committees of the i II^.H?. ^jmTjjiiNitiiyi > I,4miwwp * m nuxHr m louse and senate in this matter, and the folio wine resolution was passed: 'Be it resolved, by the executive ?uncll of the South Carolina Bankers association, that We go on record is favoring the pending bill in the louse, introduced by Representative 3app, of Richland, which seek8 to nake purchase money mortgages on lutomobiles come ahead of the at: achment lien for damages, and that we make an effort to have the law Further amended so as to apply to all )ona fide mortgages on motor velicles. "Be it further resolved, that the general assembly be memoralised to ?ass the measure." * The bankers exDresaed tho hnlief hat this is a matter that ought to he ? >t interest to everybody in the state. 1 o * THE J AMBLE TREE. t i Like a watchman, on the alert to 1 liscorer the approach of an enemy, i >ut a short distance from the famous ( isphalt, on the Island of Trinidad, t British West Indies, a lone tree lifts t ts head skyward. Tall and Btark and j >are, the trunk rises for more than j wenty five feet without a branch. At :he top of the tree there is a sudden nass of twisted branches and sparse tallage, which silhouetted against 1 .he sky resembles the guarded * ind scrawny fingers of some 1 taunt and giant specter. Superstition i runs rife among the natives of Tnni- ] lad. To the blacks, the specter tree 1 is a tree of vengeance, in which ; dwells the terrible Jamble bird. To t see this bird means certain death. \ When one of the natives desires \ revenge upon another, he goes to tho Jambie tree. There he prostrates him- , self upo n the ground, making many , obeisances, and muttering strange:, words. Then he rises and drives a , nail deep into the trunk of the tree, j As the nail enters the tree the Jam-! bic- gives a promise that its wrath Bhall be vented upon the hated enemy.11 Hundreds of nails are imbedded in ! the trunk of this tree. j1 When the ground was being clear- 1 ea, some years ago, it was deemed necessary to .cut down the Jamble tree. This, however, the native workmen angrily refused to do. The ulti-'j matum was given by the blacks that If any one touched the Jambie tree, he would be immediately killed. The 1 tree, in reality, is a specimen of the Bilk cotton tree, which is found not Infrequently in the tropics.?Dearbon Independent. o YOUR COUNTY AGENT AND HOW HE CAN HELP YOUj (D. W. Watkins, AsBt. Director of Extension.) Farmers who do not use the Farm Demonstration Agent and find him a source of profit and information simply have not learned how to use him and what to expect of him. A farmer is occasionally heard to say "The county agent cannot be of any service to me because I am a better farmer than he is" or "than he could be." Such statement shows a wrong conception of county agent work. The cuuuijr Bgeui is not empioyea to De the beet farmer in the county any more than a doctor is called in because he la the healthiest man in the community. If were always in case of sickness to call In the healthiest person in the community few doctors would be called and few cases scientifically treated. Now farming first of all Is a business based on a knowledge of a number of sciences. farmer may make more money on account of his business ability and at the same time be losing a lot more money that he might make by applying a knowledge of some of the sciences upon which agriculture rests. A county agent is a professional man having a knowledge of science bearing on agriculture. When a problem faces the farmers of a county whether It be * problem of production or of marketing, it is the business of the County Agent to take full account of the problem, determine its scope and Importance, and then bring to bear all the Information in existence on that particular problem. His information is obtainable from the State Experiment Station and, | through the United States Department of Agriculture, from all the Experiment Stations In this country and in the world. The United States Department of Agriculture Itself develops valuable agricultural information which 1* carried to the most dls tant farm through the county agent Bystem. Now the agricultural press performs a wonderfully valuable service by carrying this information to Its subscribers throughout the land, rhe county agent, however, carries it there in a way that is peculiar to the county agent system; that is, he carries information through demonstrations. A farmer might read in a bulletin sent him by the County Agent or in an agricultural paper, exact directions for pruning, worming and spraying a peach tree but it is not until the County Agent actually goes into the farmers orchard with his tools, and prunes, worms and sprays i few trees before the farmer's own eyes that the lesson Is thoroughly Impressed and permanently learned. Of course, there people who learn aow to do things by reading but with the great majority of people, farmers >r not, "seeing Is believing." Hence the County Agent demonstrates scientific truths relating to agriculture. He bases his information not only on Ka wark a? ?ha .t.tlaaa 1 .uv n vi n vi vuv vAyvi iuicui, oinuvua >f the world and of the great United States Department of Agriculture but' tlso takes into account the experi?nc? of practical farmers or farmers' ?rganisatlons everywhere. He is in i position to furnish the best infornation available on the various agri iultural problems that arise. Ot :ourse, he cannot be an authority vlthin himself on every farm problem >ut through hig connection with the Sxtension system he can obtain any nformation that exists on a farm sub. ect. Moreover he Is a scientifically rained man able to take facts from >ulletlns and reports and apply those acts as demonstration so that people nay observe the value of the reeults >n their own farm or In their comnunlty. One of th# greatest problems a Southern sericulture Is the preb ltr>' ,.. ,'V. ?*' liLD, ooixxr, went gabolzkj em of soil fertility. County Agent* attacked this problem by putting on lemons (.rations wherever a farmer vould co-operate In the rotation of :orps, using in,the rotation such soil puilders as alfalfa, clover, velvet ieane," vetch; rye, etc. If toy farmer who happens to read this articlg. happens never to have had demonstrated .o him beyond the shadow of doubt ;he value of crop rotation in increasng soil productivity let him not postpone another month calling in his :ounty agent and laying plans for iome rotations that the agent will luggest for his particular land. The :ouuty agents have learned from the veterinary world and have demonitrated to farmers everywhere that Sog Cholera may be prevented hrough the use of the serum-virus reatment. We do not hear much talk low of "hollow tall" and "hollow lorn" in cattle, partly because county igents have demonstrated that most liseaaes that were formerly called by hose names now respond favorably 0 the prescribed treatment for "milk tever", or the feeding of a properly lalanced ration. How to Use the Agent. First get in touch with the agent personally and lay your problem be' re him. H1b services are absolutely 'ree to farmers. Do you want to start 1 home or commercial orchard or to properly prune and spray the old trees? Are you having trouble with pour livestock in any way or is It :hat they are simply not profitable? Is there some bug or worm or spider attacking your field or garden crops? Are you you dissatisfied with the seed you have been planting? Are you 3ure you are now following the best known method of fertilization for your type of soil and crops? IS the boll rot, cotton wilt, tomate wilt, or other plant diseases rendering your pfforts at profitable farming in vain? Have you finally decided to grow enough feed and food crops for yourself and your family instead of buying them, and are you in doubt as to what crops and what acreage you should plant? Do you know the best method of preparing, planting, and harvesting each of the crops? If you know this, do you know where you can obtain the necessary amount of the best grade of disease freed seed? If any of these crops happen to be legumes (and some of them will) do you know where to obtain most economically and how to use properly the right innoculation for each legume? If you are thinking of buying some fertilizer, or lime, or seed, or purebred livestock, or wire fencing, had it occurred to you that the county agent might be able to assist you In making up a cooperative order with other farmers who have the same plans, at a saving to all? Is there anything you need that is obtainable from your State Agricultural College or from the United States Department of Agriculture? Have you got some boy that ought to be enlisted in the pig club or a corn club or some other kind of club? Are you a progressive minded citizen living in a backward community and wanting to en list some one to kelp diagnose an<J remedy the trouble. Call on your county agriculture' frofessMial Cards.

Recently the great problem of marketing farm products has become perhaps the most collossal problem with ] which the American farmer has to < deal. In the working out of this prob- \ 1cm the county agents of the country i are foreordained to play an indlspen- i sible part. Both the American far- , , iner and the American public are en- ] . xious for the time to be hastened 1 when a much larger part of the con- t surners dollar will go to the man on i the farm.
