The thai it came from a farmer was uoi the r surprising point, because we receive many letters from farmers. .. The surprise came on glansing ovei the neatly PRINTED letterhead. It looked for all the world as lmpressivb and business-impelling as the rereipt : of a similar letter from a big ban a or corporation. The difference between this farmer's letterhead and others received daily was that his was printed and the letter Mas typewritten, While the averagb run of letters from other farm mana ' gers are neither printed nor typewrit ten. i We are not in favor of printed let1 terheads merely because it would ere 1 ate more Jobs for printers, but for the same reason we favor printed letter . heads for other business people. It . adds dignity to the business and com l inands more respect When a city farm products dealer, t or a grain buyer anywhere, or a cattle buyer, or cotton buyer, or any other ^ business man coming into contact with farmers, receives a letter from a farm er typewritten on a neatly printer let >r sometimes an attack of Rhematism. in such cases apply Sloau's Liniment. it stimulates circulation to the sore ind painful part.

As a matter of fact, when the Lane Odom bill came to the House from t] Senate, it was, in the ordinary cour of business, referred by the Speak to .the committee on bauking and i suranee, where all such bills wou go.

MODEL ROAD BUILDER i As a road-builder, Iowa Is held up by the department of agriculture as a model, largely because .of its excellent ? state control of highway construction Centralized supervision does the busi ness. Though some other states?Iowa . seems to be getting the most for its money, according to the department. The system that gives states control , over the construction of highways, in full or in an advisory capacity, does away with a lot of lost motion and waste. The legislature of South Carolina bad a state highway commission bill before it, but refused to enact it into law, more's the pity. THE IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION Every parent in Chesterfield count\ should keep his children at school as long as possible. If self-denial is nec essary, it is better to "suffer in silence'1 me's self than to handicap one's children. Equality of educational opportunity is essential in a democracy; to influ ence a child away from an adequate i ^^ca^^^j^crlme against the chihL Education in*South Carolhmfs^ff the up-grade, as reported by the government's bureau of education. In par. tlcular, the improvement of rural education is noticeable, so that boys and jirls in the country may have equal >pportunities with those in the cities. There also is greater interest in the health and care of young children The teeth of children are being looked after more frequently; their eyes are being watched and sight is not allowed to be impaired through bad light; ade aolds are being "cut out" and dozens )f other health measures taken that formerly were Ignored.
