Then and Now
When I woo a boy, I knew one
thing hotter than anything else in
the world, and that one thing was to
obey my father and my mother. Nowadays,
when mother wants Billie
Billikin* to take a dose of Milk of
Magnesia, she JSfgins the ordeal in
this manner: "Now, Billie, come to
mother, and be a good little boy, and
take this teeny-weeny spoonful of
medicine: it's nice and sweet?watch
mother taste it. Come on, darling,
and mother will take you to the lecture
show tomorrow night, and here's
10 cents. Vou can run to the store
and bpy lots and lots of nice things."
Billie Billikins finally succumbs to
mother's pleadings and promises.
But when the time came for me
to take a tablespoonful of castor oil,
my mother had only to pour it out
and nod at me, and 1 -made a dive
for it like u hornet at a bald head,
and I knew better than to even frown,
much less whimper. If any of the
kids ever hesitated a moment before
swallowing the sweet morsel, a strong
hand reached up over the fireboard,
and in less than 3 seconds, there were
a doz.cn blue streaks on that part of
the anatomy that first comes in contact
with a chair when sitting down
is in order. (My parents always kept
from 3 to 6 switches parked on some
nails just above the fire-board. A
"fire-board" is known as a mantel
now).
We had our good times through,
and we knew how to have them too.
We went in our shirt-tails and were
satisfied. Clothes would have hindered
us in the race to the wash-hole at
dinner-time. We shot marbles while
the mules were eating, and played
mumble peg and roley-hole when
other games became tiresome. Our
favorite sport was setting rabbit
gums and bird traps. It was a great
honor during those times to own a
bow-and-arrow, and no snake doctor
was safe within 50 yards of, me unless
he was securely hid. When lizards
saw me coming, they laid down and
gave up.
I don't want to see suCh times return,
but I v^ould like for our children
to realize that perhaps daddy
and mother know a few things.
Parents begin to lose their grip on
their off-spring when they enter the
second grade at school, and by the ,
time they pass from the eighth grade
to the ninth, they are gone forever
from the contact and control of the
"old fogies." Such seems to be the
record of today's progress, and the
end ain't yet.
My grocer says that he has helped
to pay for 19 new automobiles during
the past few months, but so far, he
has never ridden in one of them.
That man talks a little too plain to
su\t me. He told me that Uncle Joe's
'idrt, Sammie, bought a ham from him
on credit last week and took it to a
filling station and swapped it for 9
gallons of gas and a quart of oil. I
wish he'd lay off my kinfolks.
Since eoftgress met to bring about
farm relief, wheat has declined only
2d cents a bushel, but corn has dropped
just 17 cents per bushel, and cot
ton is only 2 c?nU lower then it wee
before they met, end timothy hey
sagged off only 6 dollars per ton,
however?goobers ere stronger, heving
advanced e quarter of a cent. If
they keep this effort up, they certainly
will relieve the farmers of ell
they've got.

Cotton Letter
New York, June 26.~LiverpooI
cables were strong oh the opening,
thus forcing New Orleans down as
usual. The labor organizers got
about all of the money the operatives
had, and then told them to go
buck to work, all of which* had a
weakening effect on cheese fcloth and
calico prints dn Africa. It sprinkled
a few sprinkles in Oklahoma near the
close and in sympathy with consumption
and cotton underwear, October
sold up to 18.96. Call money was
plentiful ?t 16 per cent, but the
banks seemed to be doing all the
calling, and in consequence, Manchester
and, Bombay straddled and
thus caught the longs short. We advise
thick spacing and thin chopping.
Miss Stake, one of our leading
flappers, has devised a plan to keep
the stocking from wrinkling at the
knees. She pulls them up, as far as
possible and fastens the lower end of
them over the upper end of them and
twists them together in such, u manner
that the ones that have rubber ir.
them is wrapped around them that
hath not, and one can't go down unless
the other goes down, and as they
are securely hitched to a string
around the waist, there ain't anything
doing in the sagging line and
that's her secret.

Fiddling For Worms
"Fiddling for worms" is the name
given to an odd method used by flsh- '
ermen to induce angleworms to coma
to the surface.
A stake or piece of board is driven
into the ground and a rasping or
shuddering ' vibration is produced by <
drawing an iron bar of a board over
the stake or upright piece. In a
short time earthworms begin to
emerge from the earth within a ]
radius of 20 or 25 feet of the stake. ]
Similar results are sometimes ob- :
-ained by merely tapping or hammer- '
ng on the ground in a place where ]
'here are evidences of the presence (
)f worms. An electrical process con- ^
dsts of vibrating the soil by sending (
i current through two rods connected i
i>y wires. ,
Scientists are not agreed as to *
what causes the worms to emergu j
fr?m the agitated ground. Earthworms
are very sentitive to vibra:ions
in the earth and if they happen
:o be on the surface the least jar will I
send them to their burrows. The 1
worms may come to the surface to !
escape the vibration; or they may, as '
me authority supposes, mistake the
vibration for that produced by rain,
ft has been also suggested that the
worms may mistake the disturbance
for that caused by their worst enemy,
the mole.

is successful depe'ds On the species

To Blease Verse

Washington, June 17.?A rwolu-'
tion which raised such a commotion
in the senate today after it
had been offered by Senator Blease
ttmt iU reading tov the clerk was I
stricken from The Congressional i
Record, although the reading had
been completed, related to reports
that Mrs. Hoover had entertained at
tea the wife of the negro congress- '
man, Oscar L>e Priest, The resolution i
called on the President and Mrs.
Hoover to remember that the residence
"which they are temporarily
occupying is the "White House," in
order to keep conditions from becoming
as described in doggerel verse of
which the following stsnzas are mild
examples:
Things in the White Hou^e,
Looking mighty curious; I
Niggers running everywhere,
White people furious.
' .* ' '
Niggers in the eust room, '
Make, a mighty throng; v
Niggers in the music room,
Singing a coon song.
4?
jiggers in the hallway,
Taking off their wrapd; V
Niggers in the billiards room,
Shooting game of craps.
Niggers in front yard, v
Niggers in the. back;
Niggers come " in omnibus,
Niggers come ir. hacks.
t
As the clerk of the senate rend
the verses several senators protested,
they objected to the reading of the
resolution, and said it should not be
printed in the Record.
Senator Bingham, Republican, Con I
necticut, moved that all reference t.> j
the resolution be stricken from the
record. He said it would give offense
to thousands of people. Senator 1
Please said he liked Mr. Bingham,
and rather than offend personally he j
would withdraw it, and he did.
The White House refused again to- '
day to comment on the DePriest in- j
cident.
A Combination Machine
Mr. R. C. Guy has had in opera- '
tion for the past week a new machine
for this section. It is commonly j
called a combine. This machine is !
a combination reaper and thrashing
machine. It is run over the small 1
grain field and at one operation it '
cuts, thrashes, and sacks the grain,
scattering the straw back over the i,
field.
There was some uncertainty at first : about
the successful operation of this
type of machine on our land, but
there is no doubt in the minds of .
those who have seen the machine in
operation. Machines of this type c
have been used in the west j,
and middle west for a number of
years, but this year marks the beginning
of real interest in this state
in a machine of this type. .Eleven
have been purchused by farmers in
different sections of the state this
year, and their use has been declared
to be a success. Improvedmachinery
that cuts the cost of nroduction
is slowly but surely making
it possible to secure a queen, in the
for pi of other money crops, to reign
with -King Cotton. **
Mr. Guy is seeding his oat stubble
to soy beans. The beans will be
harvested with the combine, the seed
'lone being taken from the soil with
:he hay turned back as a soil builder.
In this way it is hoped that the land
:-an be cropped in small grains mure
regularly without depleting the fertility
of the soil. With a combination
if crops of this character and the
nachinery to harvest them, it is not
unlikely that profits per acre, equal
:o or greater than the profits per
acre from cotton, will be realized.
Ralph W. Coarsay in Chester Reporter.
Crime increased so rapidly in
Stamboul, Turkey, last winter, that
the prison there is crowded to the
limit, 753 prisoners being held in the
jails.
LEASED BATHING RIGHTS
I have leased the swimming rights
at Colonial Lake to Messrs. Hernjan
Baruch and George Coleman and 'assume
no responsibility in the operation
of this resort.
