Price per anaum 92.00, payable la advance. Friday, September 6, 1929 A IIAHI) WOltKKK 9 The new , demonstration agent, Henry L). Green, who, has just entered! upon his work, is a hard worker and has gone whole-heartedly at his task. Mr. Green i# planning a demonstration trip. lu a number of the farms of the county on Tuesday, September 10, to show farmers what some other farmers have accomplished in the way of diversification. He has ma<ie a life study of his work and is trying to inculcate into the small farmer a need of making his farm self-sustaining in the way of year round gardens, cowfty hogs and poultry. He cannot do it all by himself and everyone can help him by lending him encouragement in his work. He is a stranger to most of our people, but he is a good mi*ef\ a man of pleasing personality and can do a vast amount of good among the ugridnltural element if they do not turn a deaf ear to his advice. GOING TO COLLEGE? Within the next three or four weeks scores of York county boys ami girls will be off to the various colleges. We are glad they are going. We wish every one of them well. But, boys and girls, as you go off to college, we would have you rememl>?r several things, and if you do remember these suggestions perhaps in the years to come you will be glad. When you go to college, just remember that your success as a student, depends entirely on yourself. You will lx> just one of hundreds of others, all having the same opportunities, ami whether you make/ good in college work will depend entirely on your own efforts. Mother and father won't be there to help you out. They'll be back home wondering how you are getting along. In many cases they will also be back home, figuratively sweating blood to keep you in college. Not so very many York county people 'have^ so much of wealth and money that they send their children to college without making Very decided suvcriflces? sacrifices that represent discomfort and very often their very heart's blood, and when you are at college and .appreciate that fact perhaps it will help yon to keep in mind that you owe it to those .parents to d > your very levelest best to make your sphool work of a kind that will be creditable, not only to yourself, but tp father and mother as well. Be careful of your expenditures, father and mother most likely are having to be especially economical and saving to keep you in school. Can you do any less than that and keep your self-respect while vpu are in college? If you are a spendthrift while in school no one will think any more of you for that. More than likely it will build up a reputation for you of being just a plain fool---an easy mark furnishing the "good times" for fools just like you. When you are in college, work. That's all that will ever get you anywhere. Your social position back home will not help you, and it shouldn't. The way you live and act and work will reflect credit or something else on the father ami mother back home who are sacrificing much to give you an education. It is up to you to prove whether or not that sacrificing is worthwhile.?Yorkville Enquirer. A suit has been filed by James Clary Howard, of near Griffin, Georgia, against the Columbia Coco-Col i company for thirty thousand dolla:Howard was a member of the Head quarters Company. Georgia National Guard al Gimp Jackson in 192h. and alleges that he Led his left ey. In the bursting of a coea-eola bottle bought from the alxne named company, Howard is represented by Attorney .las.

The skimmed milk was fed to her chickens and five brood sowR. ? ?r In 1918, J. W. Cox, of Johnston, S. took over an old run-down, %ornout farm. He tried several things, but the land was too poor to grow anything economically. His first step in improvement was through reclamation dams, terraces and ditches? to keep whut was left of the soil from washing away. Mr. Cox then planted legumes to restore fertility ami vitality to the starved soil. His next step was livestock, duiry cows, hogs, sheep, chickens, turkeys and geese. Today he has land that makes excellent yields and feeds livestock th*J give good profits. He has come through soil building to profitable cow-hog-hen farming. Ten years ago at the age of 13, H. A. Knight, Jr., of St. Francis County, Ark., swapped a saddle pony for a Jersey cow and began selling milk to the neighbors. He has gradually increase^sthe number of cows, until his herd now number 30 milking cows and 25 calves and heifers. His cows have marie for him $10,000 and his sales of milk average $1,000 per month. After deducting all costs of feed, labor, interest, etc., Mr. Knight is netting for his own work an average of $250 per month.?Monroe Kn, quircr.

If ho i? a gentleman he acta like it there, if he is not, one aooa Jtnds it out if he is driving a car. The fellow who is always claiming more than his share of the road privileges and then bawling out the other fellow when he gets a little croieded is the moat common type of road hog.' Then there is the fellow who alwaye takes a chance. If rounding a sharp curve he crowds over onto the inside, regardless of whether it is his side or not, If somebody approaches he ! wants to know why he didn't sound his horn. If a pedestrian gets in his way on a city crossing he yells out I that they should be watching where they go, just as if the one on foot did not have as much or even more ri^ht on the crossing than he did. But most people on the road are gentlemen and ladies. These egotists who assume that everything should give way to them are the exception. A great majority of Americans go traveling and they learn to be careful and tolerant as a rule. Hut you still see them in Monroe and elsewhere who have nruch to learn yet.?Monroe Bni quirer.

There is a "I>euth Chamber" in the FLY-TOX factory. This chamber is about the room ri/.e. It is used to test the quality of FLY-TOX as a spray to kill flies, mosquitoes, bedbugs, roaches, etc. During a test a large number of young, healthy insects are placed inside the cabinet. These insects are raised in incubators for testing purposes. While the insects are Hying and crawling around in the "Chamber of Death," FLYTOX is sprayed inside. Less than a teaspoonful is used. Instantly there is a change. Within five minutes not a buzz is heard. All insects are dead. To make sure they are really dead, the insects are carefully removed from the "Chamber of Death" and placed in incubators in an effort to revive them. If a wing flutters, the FLY-TOX tested never leaves the factory. This test is your guarantee of FLY-TOX quality. It does what you want it to do?kill insects in and about your home. Yet, FLY-TOX is positively harmless to people. FLYTOX was developed at Mellon Institute of Industrial Research by Rex Research ?fellowship. It will not stain. Has a delightful perfume-like fragrance.

Columbia, Monday, September 16 Ilic Textile Worker's Wsfe. j (Editorial in Charlmten News and Courier, August 22, 1229.) * i " , Quoted widely by the critics of Southern cotton mills is the statement that the average wage of an adult worker is $12.83 a week. In one mill in South Carolina the whole number of employees is approximately 760, and the Weekly payroll is $7,600. By dividing the sum of money by the number of workers the average pay of each worker is found to be $10. J.ow as the figure $12.83 is, it ia much larger than $10?the difference in a month would be $11.32. These are not all the facta. Of the 760 operatives, about 460 are alltime workers. An inspection of the payroll shows that their wages are between $10 and $17 a week. It would be possible for the 460 to operate all the machines, and in that case their earnings would lw larger. Part-time employment is given the remaining 300. Some of them earn ' perhaps not more than $3 a week. A girl, for example, wishing to earn u little pocket money, works an hour or two for three or four afternoons?but her name is on the payroll, If the average pay ($12.83) found and reported by a government bureau is ascertained by dividing the whole sum distributed by Southern mills in a week by the whole number of names on the payrolls, what does it prove and what is its value as an argument of the agitators? The average pay in a mill may be, it is in the mill mentioned, $10 a week, but the regulars who work fifty-live hours a week earn more than $10. It is always difficult to get the truth out of a figure or set of figures that stand alone. Facts usually are related to them, and modify them. A statement that a horse is sixteen feet high may he true, but until it is explained that a wooden horse is referred to no one will believe it. The bald statement that the average operative's wage in a Southern cotton mill is $12.83 a week deserves a similar consideration. NEW INSURANCE AGENCY. Miss Ijal K.
