Now? of uh ? re ever bather than when giving out advice or Information, and I being no exception to the rule, am glad to tell tbla young man wbut X would do If I werro twenty-one. I would take eare. of my health. I would' ut overeat. I would go through) a few setting-up exercise*, morning and evening- I would get ut Umat eight hour* wleep every nlghf. . I would eon flnn ail my drinking to water ? lot* ?f It. I foold read at l?*atft two hour* ey? ery day ? mostly biography, history and economic*. I would read the "Au toblography of Ileojaniin Franklin" fit leant mw*? every rwo year*. 1 would pay cash for everything. I wouldn't contract any obligation uulesa I bad the money In the hank to mm it. Credit Is u good servant but a had mauler. I would try to do my job a little %etter than it was en?r done bofore. If I were peeling po'tttoes, I would be tire fa.ttr.vt peeler in the city. If I were keeping book#, I would get out aiy mohlbly balance promptly even though l had to work overtime, I would cultivate a hobby ? ?mu* thing to which 1 could turn in iny mo ments of leisure. I would start u bank account and deposit to iny credit a definite amount eniry pay day. 1 wovild Jet nothing in lrt*fero with this habit. As my sav logs began to aecumulute Into a tidy ?um I would be cautious about invest ing it, without asking the adrav of n responsible person. I would value friendships highly, remembering that It Is to ones friends one must turn when one is In trouble,' and that friends cannot bo erentoi evei night. I would organise myM-lf? ha via*/ a Ufne and a place for everything so far iis possible. When I made up my mind '9 (lo a thing I would write down my resolution and follow myself to s?s* that I carried it out. I would road tho dally newspapers ?f my town carefully In ord?-r that 1 ?rWit kn(>w what was going on. I would take an interest In civic affair*, and try to vote intelligently. I Would boo.st my town? or get out. Kvery ettixch hel jxs to niaki* a town what !t if ? <good or bad. 1 would always bo a boo^tiM- f??r. my employer or got out. An ?*uipfloy<? vgh o knocks his employer Is as bad as a guest who steals from hit^. host. I would aim high on the theory that what others think of us is determined fco a largo oxu-nt by th?* estimate which we form ??f .ourselves. FOR FIRST CLASS PAINTING see S. D.

Mr. Fanner: Calling attention to our advertisement in this Issue offer ing Staple Cotton Seed, we want to any to those thinking of planting Sta ple Cotton, we believe our seod as pure as any they ran get. For years we linvc planted only Sta ple Cotton and wo do not gin for oth ers. Ix you plant our seed and are ca rcful not to mix in picking and gin ning, you will have staple cotton to sell. We know not how many bales of short cotton being held by farmers In Kershaw County, but if as many as 0,000 bales and all of it was good sta ple cotton, it would bring the owners right now. on the Cainden market, some $300,000 more money than the short cotton will bring.
