**1 think Cardui is a wonderful
medicine, for I improved greatly
after taking it," says Mrs. A. W.
English, of R. F. D. 4, Roanoke,
Va. "When I was just a girl of
13, my mother gave this medi
cine to me, and it did me a great
deal of good. I was weak and
run-down. After I had taken
Cardui awhile, I felt much better.
**In 1924, my health was poor.
I felt miserable, and hadn't
enough strength to do my house
work. It took all my willpower
to keep up. I was pale and
weak.
"I got Cardui again and took
it. My improvement was wonder
ful. I can recommend Cardui to
others, for my health was so
much better after I had taken a
course of the Cardui Home
Treatment."

Livestock Will Help Solve Labor
Problem
Clemson College, March 3D.? South
Carolina farmers have realized vhat
hops can harvest the corn crop to a
good advantage in that they do the
job thoroughly and make just as
much gain as if the crop had harvest
ed and1 fed by hand. Hogs will, ac
cording to Prof. L. V. Starkey, head
of the animal husbandry division, al
so harvest such crops as soybeans,
peanuts, and potatoes, both sweet
?and Irish.
"For more than a decade beef cat
tle have been turned in the velvet
Ibean fie1c!!s, where they harvest this
crop and spread the manure over the
soil," says Prof. Starkey. "Cattle'
have also been used to good advant
age in harvesting the stover after
corn has been husksd or snapped from
the stalk.
"On one farm in Wisconsin, 8000
western lambs have harvested the,
corn crop this year. Sheep have al
so been used to clean, up the fence
corners and glean their living from
the meartows after the hav has been
harvested. Livestock makes use aUo
of thousands of acres of permanent
pasture which is not well adapted to
other punposes.
"One does not have to be a very
clos? observer to realize that live
stock has not been given an oppor- 1
tunity to save as much labor for the
South Carolina farmer as for the j
Western farmer. There are many i
reasons for this, but the lack of I
fences is the most outstanding. If
the farms in South Carolina were
properly fenced, the livestock indus
try would thrive. Until we get ^
fences, forage craps, and other feed \
crops, livestock cannot return its
greatest profit." I
FAVORS NIGHT W,ORK
From The Greenville Piedmont
"This question of women working
at night has two ?ides", said Miss
Red Cross. "In most cases where
women have to work, they do so bet
ter at night, especially) if children are
in school. They can be at work while
the children are sleeping, get sonic
rest and be awake in the afternoons
for leisure hours with the children.
Ruling that they cannot work at
night is a hardship rather than n
kindness in most ictases. It is exactly
right to keep children from working
at night, however."

I "TREAT US THAT WAY"
Wouldn't this old world be better,
| ?f ihe folk we meet would Bay,
,"I know something good about you!"
| And then treat Us just vhat way.
Wouldn't it bo fine and dandy,
If each handclasp warm and true,
Carried with it this assurance,
"I know something good about
you!"
Wouldn't life l>e lots more ha<ppy,
If the good that's in us all,
Were the only thing about us,
That folk bother to recall.
Wouldn't life be lots more happy,
If we praised1 the good we Bee,
For there is such a lot of goodness,
In 'uhe worst of you and me.
Wouldn't it be nice to practice,
That fine waiyi of thinking too,
You know something good about me,
I know something good about you.

Millions More for Fewer Bales
(Darlington News nnd Press)
Among the numerous forms of farm
relief known the best method to a
chieve the purpose intended is annual
ly neglected. For many years the
clearly proven fact has been -demon
strated that acreage reduction, dras
tic acreage reduction, affords the
beet possible aid to farmers. The
facts have been clearly proven for
decade after decade, and still the ov
erproduction annually makes its ap
pearance. No argument will here be
advanced, but the following extract
from an editorial article in the Pro
gressive Farmers and Southern Rur
alist affords an object lesson in the
matter whiich whould be easily ap
parent to all :
"Chairman Legge, of the Federal
Farm Board, ha? just called attention
to the fact that a questionnaire was
recently sent to twenty-one leading
cotton buying firms of America ?
firms that handle approximately half
the American crop ? asking their o
pinion as to what price cotton crops
ranging from 10,000,000 to 16,000,000
bales would bring if produced thiu
year. The average of those twenty
one replies are as follow, the first
?column showing the average (farm
price per pound farmers might ex
pect from crops of varying sizes, and
the second column the total farm va
lue of the lint cro<p:
Crop, Balas Price Total Value
1 16,000,000 7.30 c $552,000,000
14,000,000 K.40 c 502,200 ,000
13,000,000. . . . 10.19 c 602,360,000
12,000,000 112.30 c 733,400/K)0
11,000,000 14.61 c.... 798,050,000
10,000,000 10.49 c 824,600,000
"Think of it- -$272,000,000 more for
6,000,000 fewer bales of cotton! And
all the saving in sweat, tired muscles,
land-breaking, harrowing, ridlging,
planting, hoeing, grass killing, weev
il fighting, cotton picking, etc -and
all the extra corn, meat, hay, pota
toes, vegetables, etc., that we could
make from the saved labor and fertil
izer on 6,000,000 unneeded bales!
"And yet today it is. far more likely
jthat the .Southern farmer will choose
J to raise 16,000,000 bales for $562,000
000 than t/hat he wiH raise 10,000,000
' bales for $824,600,000."

OLDEST FORD DRIVER
J. M. Crc.v, 39, of Ethel, Miss., tho oldest Ford driver In Mississippi, traversed

in American history he so pic
turesquely typifies, J. M. Crow
of Ethel, Miss., is tlife eldest Ford
driver in Mississippi and 0110 of the
oldest in the United States.
When as a babe of two years he rodo
with his parents in one of a train of
30 covered wagons out of Cobb county,
Georgia, into Mississippi, the old
Natchez T ar n followed by the brave
llttlo band w ..s still infested by the
swashbuckling ruffians whose bloody
outrages gave that era i place in this
country's history a;. ??the outlaw
years."
One of his vivid memories Is hear
ing. as a boy of six, tho news of Gen
eral Scott's victorious assault on the
heights of Chnpti^kDoc which ended
tho Mexican War hi 1S47, and his
proudest memory is of honorable ser
vico as a Confederate soldier during
the Civil War. When the southern
cause collrpsc1. Crow v,-as compelled
to trudgo 100 miles on foot to the oM
homestead at Etlial where he settled
down to rear a family.
In tho intervening years ho has see.i
tho lumbering stagecoach give way to
tho fleet automobile and tho comfort
able motorbus, the sogt;y gumbo and
roir-.h corduroy roads of his childhood
to the wide, paved roads of today, and
although he was long past mlddlo age
bcfcro the modern automobile became
commonplace ho is as entfnipiastic a
driver as youngsters who can boast
lesH than onc-qunrter of his years.
