I Hut After That?Have Mercy , County officers seized 254 bottles ( of home brew in a ruid on an Ander- t son county cafe Saturday. Ixrcal malt mixers needn't fret for a while, though, because Captain Henry is ^ kept too busy busting up liquor stills. And More Returns Too _ s "What is the difference," asks an 1 economist in* The Womans Home * Companion, "between a savings ac- * count and a checking account?" We know the answer to that. You can 1 have more fun with a checking ac- e count. 1 p c Yes. Many More 1 __?. t K. (i. Brown, lawyer, and an al- v leged embezzler, has been returned a to Whiteville, N. C., from California, s to face trial. All of which beiv*'s l)Ut c the recent argument of Farm and Fireside that more than one attorney * picks up some coin as he lays down } the law. ( Maybe We'll Need It All Here i The Arundel company of Baltimore , is awarded contract for erection of ( Saluda river's darn in Lexington , county, at a price approximating p\,01)0,001), it has been announced, and ( rt is said that three yedrs will be required to complete the project. This means more than one can calculate and it is a source of particular pride to nearby communities even though it will reduce Kershaw county to second place in the output of electric [rower. ( Yd, Ho, And a Road To (io ('. K. Jones, chairman of the state highway commission, told the Kiwanis club at Sumter on Friday, that the state would spend a total of $.'17,000,000 building roads within the year, and that 400 miles of paved roads would l>e added to the state road system. And, thank goodness and the county fathers, we'll take our place with the golden ribbons that are going to stream pretty soon along every direction from Camden at the Crossroads of Carolina. Send It In Karl) What is said below from the Pee Dee Advocate is the experience of every count r\ newspaper. It would be far better to ask how early do you want the copy than what is the latest. It would insure better set up, better position and be better for all concerned. The Marlboro paper says: "I have a little piece I want to put in the paper; what is the latest time I can get it in?" How often we of the newspaper office hear that question! Sometimes it is variated with "very latest." Just why one should want tqr wtajt until the "very latest moment" to send in copy of a communicaitbn or advertisement has not been explained. Just thoughtlessness probably. If we could set all of the type that goes In-to the paper in one day there would Ih1 nothing for the printers to do the rest of the week. %The idea seems to be general that all that is necessary is to put their "piece" or ad copy in arrrj it sets itself into type. A woman phoned the office some time ago that she had a report of a club meeting that she wanted to get1 in, at five o'clock on Wednesday afternoon. She was advised, with regrets, that it was too late. She kept the copy until the next Wednesday and brought it in about noon, saying sweetly, "I hope I am in time this time." To assure publication of your material, to reduce the chance of mistakes through hurry, to give us time to put it into type, print it aVid jfet the paper to you on time on Thursday, pdeaso send your copy in early. Friday or Saturday would be best. Dr. Frank Crane Says: |)*(?ire-~ Keep It Ktrr Green That i>. a pretty good title. It is given lu unt ul the recent Antioch College pamphlets and im very auggv?'. :ie. There is nothing people nee?J inojre in the world than desire. The great problem is not lepicoeihg desire or uprooting it, hut properly nursing it. We need desire a): our Ives. No {real thing was ever done by a man without a great desire. It was Napoleon's desire for fame hat drove him forward, and Alexinder's and Caesar's desire for conjuest that actuated their efforts. Marriage is rarely successful without a great desire. , A marriage merely for convenience, vf; money, for j>osition, or such rea- t .ons, is usually a failure. Q There have been few business sue- * esses accomplished by those who had 10 desire to get forward, and few | ibliticians achieve success wthout j he proper amount of ambition. IJehind the whole human race in j very race is the thing we call desire. It is the steam of the human engine. !t is the urge in human accomplishnent. People do : ot fail so much be- j ause they want the wrong things. < vome do. Hut most people do not ? ucceed because they do not know i vhat they want or do not want a t hing hard enough. s Since desire is so essential in hunan accomplishment everything ihould be done to conserve it. All ( hose false avenue* of which de- | (ires are easily satisfied without freat accomplishment are inujurious. The chief trouble with drinking * Wcohol is not its immediate toxic 1 ffect upon the system so much as ( t is the fact that it gives us a sense * >f satisfaction without due effort. 1 Che peace and content and hilarity 1 hat come after a good drink of 8 vhiskey properly come after doing ' i job of work well. Those who are iteady drinkers are very unreliable ' loers. ( flu* sex desire properly conserved ' ?nd limited is tha foundation of the lome. If it seeks its satisfaction in )ther channels the home life is weakened. Tho efforts of mankind should be lot to suppress nor destroy desire >u much as to direct it into the proper 'hannels and save its force for some- 1 thing worth while. The greatest wasters are the wasters of desire. There is need of thrift in desire as well as in other things. } ou never know when you may want it. Commercial frauds cost manufactures and wholesale firms more than each business day. These frauds consistof obtaining credit on false statements of assets, of concealing assets from creditors or referees in bankruptcy, and of other misrepresentations. America's dentists are said to lead the world. George III had a yankea dentist. Dr. Thomas W. Evans, the distinguished Philadelphia dentist, treated Emperor Napoleon III of France and sheltered the Emperess Kugeneie after the monarchy's fall. ^ our I.oca I Newspaper One of the things which become increasingly evident to us as we travel about over the State is the influence which local newspapers may exert on the progress pf the average town. While it is generally acceded that no paper can thrive without the support of the merchants. it appears to us that many merchants consider too lightly, if at all, the benefits which they derive, or could derive, from having their town represented by a good live paper. For instance, it is not hard to understand that your own advertising will attract more favorable attention in a well-edited, neat-appearing pallet than in a dull, uninviting-looking sheet. Moreover, the live, readable paper will generally he found to have a large circulation and will be read with a good deal, of interest, ail of which means dollars and cents to you as an advertiser. Hut consider your local paper from the standpoint of the community news which it carrier A welledited paper, chock-full of local news, is hound to create much good will for your town. Whenever the town attempts to put over a community event, of whatever sort, the' local newspaper will largely decide the success or failure of the venture by the publicity which it provides in the news columns. We are all interested most in the things we know most about. ThereI fore, if you have a good live newspaper to tell the folks about your town, it follows quite naturally that ( they will be interested in your town and will come to trade. Isn't that worth thinking about ? ?Nebraska j Merchant and Trade Itmview. THIS WEEK I . . _ i By Arthur Brisbane HHflBHHHBBHHBHHBBBBBBBHHBIBIKl Mr. Brisbane's editorials are pub- ' lished us expressions of opinions f the world's highest-salaried <, editor and The Chronicle does not t necessarily endorse all of his views and conclusions. America's millions, who imagine ^ hey are thirsty for light wine, beer >r something stronger, will be in- ' eresUni in this. United ,States capital has recent- ! y lent nearly $300,000,000 to help ; dreign countries develop their j iquor and beer business. Even *in :he Far East this country has financed liquor production to the tune of ' nore than $5,000,000. i Mr. Hayward Kendall, who rep- ' eserits unorganized drinkers- that ; >ught to be saved from themselves, lays: "The Eighteenth Amendment s saving America (in cash expendi- ' ures and increased efficiency) from tix to eight billion dollars a year." ' The nation's purchasing power has ertainly increased amazingly since Prohibition came. In 1919 there vqere in America 5,500,000 automobiles. Now there ?re 20,000,000, and not enough. The ountry spends half a billion a year i >n radio, many millions for washing machines, vacuum cleaners, electric efrigerators. Workers in America pend more lavishly than the rich in Europe. Mr. Kendall thinks it would be a national calamity if the outpouring of money were diverted from automobiles and radio to wine and beer. W hile the boll weevil continues spreading in the United States Cairo telegraphs that: I hanks to vigorous Government measures, the area affected by the boll worm has been considerably circumscribed." Egyptian acreage affected by the pest has been reduced from 89,000 to 5,000 acres. What Egypt can do this country certainly ought to do. We have the scientists, the money and the boll weevils. What is the matter with us? This news will not sell extra papers, like a Dempsey-Tunney fight, but will be important long after Deiupsey and Tunney cease to be important. Pennsylvania State College has discovered that the vitamin B, o important to life, is manufactured by the cow in her stomach in great quantities. Scientists cut a little door into the "rumen," or second stomach of the cow, deprived her of all food containing vitamin B. Nevertheless, in a little incubator in that -etond stomach the cow produced the precious vitamin B in profusion. That may mean to child life as much as the admirable fight against impure milk made by Nathan Straus. In cities people go crazy more frequently than they once did. Excitement, bootleg liquor and other things help. In New York State one person in every twenty-five has been in the insane asylum, according to the American Psychiatric Association. There is less insanity than forr-Hriy among women on farms. Loneliness, that used to drive them; insane by the thousands, has been softened by telephone, radio, parcels post, and above all, the automobile. i President Vinson tells young people of Western Reserve UHP1 versity that no conflict exists be-? tween science and religion; they occupy different fields. He wisely remarks that science, without religion, would lead to hopeless materialism, just as religion, when it denies the plain truths of science, leads to fanaticism and superstition. Religion and science are like astrology and astronomy, or like alchemy and chemistry, Astronomy starte. in astrology, chemistry started in alchemy, with experimenters seeking to make gold. Science started in religion. Men, questioning the origin of things, firsj gave a religiou* answer,- everythiii based on miracles. Then they sto4a?. ed more closely and began glvtrifc scientific answers. " ' ? . r>All told 24,000,000 automobiles are in use in "fifty-nine countries of the earth.. The United States owns 20,000.000 of the 24.000,000; \ FAWNED ALL FO$ FLIGHT % Kmptit^l ilia I'ocImU, IUkkmI ?nd Borrowed to Got Into Contest Santa Monica, Gal., Aug. 17.?Art joebel gambled his life to win the Honolulu aitr contest, emptying his sockets and begging or borrowing the est of the cash to get a plane for the lop. The flyer, who quit his stunts be'ore the movie camera in quest of ran*-oceanic fame, was not thinking 10 much of the $25,000 prize at the nd of the sunset trail when he final* y succeeded in getting his friends to ;oine in on a pot. This is proved by he fact he eagerly Offered half the noney he might win to any one who would finance his venture. The money finally was raised. A few of his close friends and associates in the picture game chipped in and a start was made. Financial iisaster followed, however, as one of his backers, at the last minute, found his funds were tied up and that ie would Ik* unable to help. Then began a long search for money. Goebel sold some of his belong- ^ ings and much of his flying equipment. After adding the proceeds to the pool he found himself still about ?3,500 short of the goal. His plane was being built at Wichita, Kan., and Goebek would not be downed. He flew to Kansas City, where he waA to take delivery of the L-raft if he could raise the balance of the money. The officials of the Phillips Petroleum company of Bartlesville, Okla., came to his aid and he made the full amount. It took only one or two test flights at the Oklahoma oil town to prove to Goebel he had the plane to make the 2,400-mile flight. So he named it for a famous old Indian chief of Oklahoma, which means "good luck" in the red man's jargon. After a few more tests Goebel took wing for the West. At first the stunt flyer thought he would make a solo flight over the Pacific. But finally he became convinced a navigator would be necessary, and Lieut. William Davis rode over the Golden Gate beside him when the trim monoplane drove out over the Pacific. Hanford MacNider^. assistant secretary of war, was in an airplane which turned over when landing at Danbury, Conn., on Saturday. He was uninjured. His pilot suffered a contusion of the hip. W. W. Edwards, convicted at Ashevilie last Friday on a charge of attempted blackmail and sentenced to six months on the roads, has had his sentence suspended as the result of a tearful plea by his wife, and on agreement to pay court costs. Pleasures of A Small Town An editor in a nearby town writes of the pleasures of living in a small town, as follows: ? "There is more than one privilege and pleasure about living in a small town. One of them is in going in your shirt sleeves; another is in sitting on the shady side of a business hous<^ in the summer time and the sunny side in the winter. If you want to speak to a friend three blocks away, you can yell and squall at him and you can carry on a loud hollering conversation; you can always find a place to park; you have lots of friends and when you are with one of them you can talk about all the balance; you can keep up with everybody else's business except your own, and many, many others, but they are too numerous tj mention." Among those he failed to mention, we suggest: You can listen in on the party line and get all the latest gossip; you can make six trips to the postoffice every day, although you know there's nothing there; you can cross the street anywhere you take a notion; you can lock up the place and go to dinner; and you don't live so close to the next-door neighbors! that you have to lower your voice when you have a family row.?Ashton (111.)

Ogden Armour will cause a deficit tn hi# on*-tl met125,000,000 estate, thyae who know its condition said today.-' Armour's death in London Tuesday followed a succession pf steady losses unequalled in history. In 1916 Armour and his nephews were offered $130,000,000 sfor the meat packing- business which they owned absolutely. Anion* the projects whose failure or collapse ate into the Armour funds were the Illinois Tunnel company, a narrow gauge railway under Chicago streets for transporting freight from the wholesale and retail districts to the railway terminals, and the Sutter Basin irrigation scheme, which was bonded for $18,000,000. Mrs. Armour and her daughter. Mrs. John J. Mitchell, Jr., have fortunes in their own n#mes, Mitchell will inherit millions. Armour's nephftk, Lester and Philip Armour, Jr., e a part of the packing company and have some of their father's millions. He was Philip D. Armour, Jr., who died in 1900. The collapse of Armour's fortune was soon followed by his physical collapse. He has been intermittently ill for five years. Last spring he was seriously ill; When he partly recovered, the trip abroad -was taken to assist convalescence. Son of Murdered Woman Sought Chicago, Aug. 23.?The movements of Harry Hill, twenty-two, sought following the discovery of his mother's body at Streator, 111., today were traced to the home of a Chicago friend where he had spent last night. He dropped from sight after telling the friend, William Brydges, he was going to a barber shop. Mrs. Mary Ann Hill's body was found buried under the brick floor of the basement of her home by her estranged husband, Dr. H. C. Hill, wealthy oculist of Streator, and a party of officers. She had last been seen three weeks ago. An autopsy revealed that the woman, "^vho was fifty-five yearB of age had been shot with a pistol bullet piercing her brain. An inquest will be hejd tomorrow. \ Chicago pqBice following the trail of young Hill after he left\ Streator yesterday morning, found thfat he drove here, visited his former employer and spent last night with Brydges. Brydges said he had known the Hills in Streator. The absence of Mrs. Hill did not excite her neighbors as she was somewhat of a recluse. Last night her husband went to the home with a friend and during a search of the house noticed the disturbed condition of the basement floor. He notified the police and they found the body. The authorities then sought to question the son who had been seen at the house since the mother disappeared. He could not be found. Baby Drowns In Soup Bowl Loid, N. J., Aug. 23.?Roger Olliver, aged fourteen months, son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Olliver, was drowned in a large bowl of soup'this afternoon. This soup was in a crockery bowP abodt one foot in diameter and six inches deep. The mother had placed it on the floor to cool while she went to a nearby grocery store. The infant had been left on the kitchen -floor and evidently crawled over to look at the steaming liquid. In some manner he fell in and was drowned before his mother returned from the store. Police Captain Nebensi heard the mother's screams as he was passing and ran inside. Efforts to revive the child were unsuccessful and Capt. Nebensi called Dr. H. H. Brevoort who in turn called County Physician.' William E. Ogden. Dr. Ogden described the child's death as "accidental." -Twenty or more prohibition officers staged raids in Asheville N. C., on Saturday morning and rounded up 16 dealers in illicit liquors in the city. Under cover men have been working in the city for several weeks, buying pints and quarts to be used in evidence.
