BETTY GETS A CHANCE. R?d Cross 8o?l? Helped Hsr to Q?t ? Well. She wan real pretty and so full of fun that the dimples were always j showing In her round, red cheeks. Her | eye* were big und brown, and her nut colored hair curled naturally In little rlngTsts over hor forehead and ears. She was JUHt eighteen when we first met her and 00 neat and attractive that one would think ahe belonged to the woll to do clasa of working people, but when we followed her to her houie on* day we confronted startling facta. The red In her cheeks was the flush of unnatural Inward fever, the high spirit* were a pitiful antldoto to piti less conditions, and the big brown eyes Haw only squalor when they were not fixed upon a typewriting machine or closed persistently to any view but an Imaginary bright one. The room we entered was a general living space, used also as an eating, cooking and sleeping apartment There was but ono bed, and Betty had to aleep in It with her mother, who was too weak to sit up. An open cuspidor not where it would be conveniently near the bed. which placed It by tho stove, where their food was cooked. The mother, who was suffering in an advanced stage of tuberculosis, did not like cold air, and her querulous de^ mauds caused Betty to keep the door and windows closed. "Well," said cheerful Betty, with a laugh, "that Isn't so bad as not having any windows or doors to close, la it? Things might bo worse." "Infinitely worse," said tho Wine One. "You might even tako a notion to stuff the windows and doors with rags to cut out what oxygen comes in through the cracks." Ited Cross Christmas Seals, with their cheery message of hope, gave Betty a chance to get well after her mother died. Is It worth while to save the Bettys? Huy your share today. SEAL ON EACH SOLE. "Am I using lied Cross Christmas Reals 7" reiterated a good natured old cobbler as he looked up from the shoe he wan repairing to the person who stood blocking tho doorway of the lit tle shop and who had asked the ques tion originally. "I don't know of them. What are they for?" he asked. When told that the little stickers wero being sold all over the United States to raise money to prevent tuber culosls the cobbler became very much Interested. "Now, I call that a good canse." ho drawled. "I don't write any letters, and I don't send any Christmas packages. There's just mo and the old woman left. I can't use my seals that way, but I'll tell you how I can use them. I will stick a seal ou tho sole of every shoe I tap." PRESIDENT WILSON ON RED CROSS SEALS. As an expression of his interest In the Ited Cross Seal and Anti-tubercu losis Campaign President Wilson re cently wrote to the National Associa tion For the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis: "May I not take tills occasion to ex press to you my deep interest In the work of the National Antl-tul>ereuloftl9 association and my hope that its work Is growing In etllciency and extent from year to year? May I not particu larly express my Interest In the Hed Cross Christinas Seal, whose sale has been the menus of raising funds for the work ? "It seems to me that this is a par ticularly Interesting and sensible way of enabling the people of the coun try to give this great work their sup port.** 8ANTA CLAU8 HAS TUBERCU LOSIS. On Christmas eve Hit If Dorothy, pos sessed of the whooping cough, was doing some fancy whooping for com pany that had fcome. "Dorothy, dear," the mother said, "you must stop coughing or Santa Claus won't come. If he hears you soughing he'll be afraid to come In." "I should worry," Dorothy replied, showing full familiarity "With modern expi ession. "He's got tuberculosis him self." "Tuberculosis! Who told you Ranta Chins had tuberculosis?"

Obtain ing interstate rates frtuii production |m?IiiIh to concentration points audi ?*oinin<?dlty rates oil grain to Charles ton, Richmond, Baltimore and Nor folk in (ho course urged u|H)i? tho bus iiiot?H and agricultural interestH of South Carolina by \V. VV. ixmg, State agent of demount ration ami director of extension of ciemson College. In *i letter to tin* chandlers of commerce, hankers and business men of South ( 'a rollna. Mr. l.otiK urges prompt action on the rate situation for wheal and oats. lie writes : "It scoins to uie that the llrst step to he taken Is to ohtalu such local rates within the State as will facili tate the concent ra I Ion of grain for In terstate shipment. The natural out lets for our \vhc4il surplus seem to he: Charleston for coastwise shipments, which would have to he In sacks shut* there are no facilities in Charleston for handling hulk grain on the piers; ltlchulohd as a mill market, ami Hal tlinore ami Norfolk for export in hulk." To tho chambers of commerce, Mr. Long suggests: "I would respectfully suggest , that you call a meeting of your body for the purpose of discussing this situa tion ami taking definite action. The wisest procedure that suggests Itself to me Is that you petition the State Kallroad Commission to take up tho matter of Interstate grain rates Imme diately ; further, that your body peti tion the railroads directly, and, If ne cessary, the Interstate Commerce Com mission at Washington, for the Imme diate establishment of commodity rates on grain to the ports, both in sacks and In bulk." Another side of the Hinall grain pro blem to which attention is directed in the need for having one or more bun lness men In each community arrango to handle the grain purchased from wagons from farmers who are not shipping, but trying to dispose of small surpluses on the local markets. Mr. Long Is opposed to tho construc tion of ex|>ensive grain elevators In South Carolina. lie says: "I cannot agree (and I think my position will he sustained by the Of fice of Markets at Washington) with thoae who have been advocating the erection of elevators for the handling of grain in South Carolina. Maryland, northern Virginia, and Pommylvania grow large quantities of grain and the grain is handled both In sacks and In ear lots. Yet there are not a half doz en elevators In Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania, other than at terminal points. "fjot us not forget that the quantity of grain we shall produce in South Carolina tills year Is unusual, the re sult of an unusual state of affairs, and that when affairs have resumed their normal state ami cotton has climbed hack to its average price of the several years last past. It is more than likely that our farmers will, except in a few individual Instances, cease to produce a greater amount of grain than is suf ficient for their home consumption." Mr. Kong then prt speeds to outline what he hopes will he the agricultural situation in the state when normal conditions have returned and certain lessons have had their Influence, con cluding with the statement that "wln i ter grain will never play more than a I minor part as a market crop In the or | dlnary agricultural regime of South j Carolina. I cannot, therefore advise i the construction of grain elevators to , take care of a situation which may be called transient." However, Mr. Long urges the need of mills for grinding both wheat and corn and says that unless more local grinding mills are established. It will be dlMk'iilt to try to make people pro | duce their home supplies of the grains. | 11c points out that there will be a large | increase In corn acreage tills year. ? making it all the more important that grinding mills be constructed and. fur ther, that communities equip them selves to prepare the surplus corn for market. .Mr. Long suggests a plan by which corn may be prepared for mar ket nt the gin houses just as is cotton and outlines a method which would be Inexpensive. Mr. Long announces this letter as the "grain-marketing suggestions re commended for 1P15 by the cooperat ing forces of Clemson College and the I'nited States department of Agricul ture." The letter will be put in print ed form and a copy may be obtained by any one who writes for it to the extension division of Clemson College.

Time for Odd Jobs. The wet days of winter are tin* timo for (Kid jol?s about the farm and t'ic farmhouse. A new shelf needed here, or a hinge there: making the-henhouK'V snugger or cleaning a piece of ma chinery; and a hundred more small jobs ran be found by any farmer on any wet day when nothing can be done in the Holds. The wise man will take advantage of tlie.se spare hours to do the odd tasks. He who does not, generally finds them pressing upon him at a time when he is busy with more important work.
