Minerals and Iodine Found i
Clemson College, Jan. 5.?'The :
Mineral Content of Feeds, Soils, and 1
Waters of South Carolina is the title i
of an important publication issued i
as Bulletin 252 of the South Carolina <
Experiment Station?important because
it shows that feeds, soils, and 1
waters in this state contain important 1
quantities of minerals, and also be- |
cause it shows the noteworthy presence
of iodine in these snbstances. 1
The bulletin, divided into three ]
parts, discusses the analysis of many j
samples of feedstuffs grown in this
state, samples of soils taken from
various parts of the state, and the
odine content of soils, plants, and
waters from various sections of South
Carolina.
Regarding minerals in South Carolina
feeds, the studies reported in the
bulletin show that feeds grown in
this state compare favorably with
those grown in other states and that
there is, therefore, no canse to believe
that South Carolina -cattle suffer
from dietary deficiencies due to

Specialist Takes
... Pin From Lungs
Spartanburg, Jan. 3.?Agnes, tho
two-year-old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. L. Thomas Hughes, 4241 Forest
street, following that tendency often*
exhibited by those of her length of
years, took a safety pin from the
dress of her Christmas doll this morne^
ing und put it into her mouth.
The pin, following Agnes coughing
and intakiug of breath, found its
way to the child's lung, open an<|
pointing outward, but it did not long
remain there, thanks to the work of
a Spartanburg opecialist. The Medical
Association code militates against
the use of his name and the names of
his assistants.
By use ol special prepared instruments,
the pin was removed. Karly
on Monday afternoon Agnes seemed
well on the way to recovery in the
physician's office, on awakening, she
gave ample evidence of the power of
her lungs.
Agnes' was playing with her sister,
Kita, U, when the accident occurred.
! She pointed to her mouth and said
"Fin." Her father, who works nt
night at Spartan mills but who was
away from the house, soon returned;
her mother, on the day shift, was also
summoned.
| The child was taken to the general
j Hospital where the pin was found by
an X-ray picture. The baby was
thence removed to the operating physician's
office.

absence of necessary mineral matter
in feeds. It appears that the soils
of the state supply the feeds grown
with those mineral elements.
Drinking waters c? the state analyzed
and reported in the bulletin
show an average of two to three
parts per billion of iodine, and plants
analyzed show the presence of very
considerable quantities of iodine in
various vegetables in both the lower
part of the state and the Piedmont.
, Of the vegetables analyzed spinach,
, mustard, lettuce, and srweet potatoes
showed greater amounts vof iodine
than did other vegetables.

Miss do Caen is In Poncu City at
the present time and will rcmuin here
several weeks, visiting the mother* of
American Indians she saw die In
France. Iter pilgrimage, as she calls
It, is ono of mercy to the "gold mar"
homes of America. It is Infrequent
that the members of the "gold star"
homes tire able to converse with some
one who was so near to their sons as
was this woman. She volunteered her
services to France when the war-torn
country most needed this kind of assistance.
Sons Did Not Rrturn.
Her activity did not stop with the
signing of the armiMlce, hut 1ms curried
on to the extent of attempting to
reach fathers ttnd mothers vvhp&e vans
did not return from "over there."
The countess lias made six trips to
the United Slates In an effort to complete
her mission and has renewed
.friendships made wi lt many wounded
veterans -she aided in the wr.r tone.
Tito countess talks very little uhout
iter family and royal connection. She
Is descended on tier father's side from
some of the oldest families of France,
i and through her mother from Admiral
Sir .lames Hlllyer of England. Her
-'pnternnl forebears were French generals,
her grandfather, Gen. Charles
"Count de Caen, u defender of Metz in
the war of 1870. The countess was
born on the French island of Pondl
cherry in the East Indies. As a child
she spent many years with her mother
in London, where her niother was an
intimate associate of Queen Victoria
So she speaks English fluently tmd
I with very little accent,
j Honored by Celebrities.
Letters from alt over the United
. States from American Legion post
commanders and auxllinry presidents
of every state that she has visited are
valued treasures of her pilgrimage.
Pictures with Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt,
Jr., and many other distinguished
^Americans are carried with her. Her
.pride In the American soldier and
doughboy Is constant.
? "It was an easy matter to get in
touch with parents of boys who could
tell us of themselves, but the Indians,
in whom I am especially interested at
this time, were unable, to mnke me
understand. I could not loam their
talk .and I've forgotten some of the
names they told me," says the countess.
f "I bring n message to the parents
from the dying soldier. During the
time that America participated in the
war, we cared for, and aided about
two thousand dying American soldiers
We gave them the last comforts before
the last call. It Is to the mothers and
Relatives of these boys that I especially
wish to speak."
.. Oiie hundred and fifty American Indians
died In the hospitals and were
given care by the society of which
the countess is the founder, the society
which had for its purpose keeping
contact between the American
soldier and his home folks, and the
administration of little comforts to
them when they were confined to
French hospitals.
"The French love America," says
Miss de Cnen. "We love the memory
of your boyS,r and If you could see
the French people going to the graves
of your dead and placing little floral
remembrances of love upon them, you
would realize that we hold dear the
memory of the boys and their help
to us In the war."
' Prehistoric Burial of

by three pieces of pottery.
In the other burial the cradle board
was underneath the body. Four pots

Dr. Frank Crane Says:
(This newspaper will for some
weeks continue to publish the work
of the late Dr. Frank Crane. Dr
Crane recently passed away at Nice
France. Before leaving for Europe '
he had prepared u number of articles <
in advance.)
Theory Bays.
A very common notion is that theory
has not much to do with practice.
We dismiss a proposition with a
wave of the hand when we characterize
it as nothing but theory, or as
impractical idealism. '
We praise the inventor who devises (
some useful application of knowledge,
but have a tendency to overlook the
discoverer who finds out the knowledge
that the inventor applied.
As a matter of fact, all our great
inventions rest upon great discoveries
made by painstaking theorists
who love knowledge for itself alone.
Wireless telegraphy, the telephone,
aeroplanes, radium, antiseptics, antitoxins,
spectrum analysis and X-rays
were all discovered in the course of
purely scientific and theoretical in- ,
vestigation.
Lord Kelvin said that no great law j
in natural philosophy had ever been ]
discovered as a result of practical (
experiment, and that "the instances ,
are innumerable of investigations ap- ]
parcntly quite useless which led to ,
the most valuable results." ^
For ^-eighteen centuries many
great minds gave their lives to studying
conic sections. This work was ,
far from useless, for the laws of projectiles,
the building of great bridges, ,
the curves of ships and the rules of
navigation depend upon conic sections.
Wireless telegraphy goes back to ~
the studies of Lagrange in purely abstract
mathematics, and td" Professor
William "Thomson, who laid the foun-\
dation of electric oscillations. I
Th?. man of deeds, the practical'
man ^yaould be saved many a-foolish I,
experiment and would be kept back1,
from many a useless trial if he knew1,
the background of thought that1,
should underlie his actions. f(

Uncle Bob Smith Wins
Second in Contest
Trenton, January 2.?B. R. Smith
of Trenton, Edgefield county, again
enters the list of winners in the South
Carolina Cotton Contest, he having
won the second district prize of the
middle district with a yield of 11,130
pounds of seed cotton and 3815
pounds of lint, having a staple length
of 1-1-32 inch. In 1026 Mr. 'Smith
won the second Btate prize in the contest'.^
He planted Colter's Cleveland
^84,^'Mr. Smith's total costs were
6344.941 and the total value of hie
crop was $1091.50, leaving a profit
of $746.56 on the five acres.
Mr. Smith's own statement in regard
to his five acres is very brief
and to the point: "So much rain I
don't see how I made ari^thing. Insects
awful bad. Rotation of crops
on sandy loam soil helped.'?
Mr. Smith fertilized his five acres
with a mixture of 6,000 pounds of
acid phosphate and 700 pounds of
muriate of potash, this being applied
in the drill. >He has, by the use of
legume cover crops, ho built up the
aitrcttj^i content of the soil that he
lid nW think it necessary to put any
nitrate fertilizer in the drill, tie did,
however, supply his growing cotton
with quickly available nitrates in the
form of nitrate of soda, using 2,000
pounds of nitrate of soda as a side ?
application on his five acres. He controlled
the boll weevil by the use of
molasses-calcium arsenate mixture,
this poison costing him $6.00 for the
five acres during the year.

When 1928 died and new license
plates for automobiles became good
