Farmers Warned Not To Plant Large Crops Washington, Jan. 26. tThe Department of Agriculture today warned farmers of the imminent danger of over-production of many products and cautioned them to udjqst expenditures carefully in order to maintain farm incomes during 1930. This advice was embodied in the yearly report made public today on the outlook for agriculture, which was prepared by governmental agricultural economists with the co-operation of farm experts from 45 states and of members of the Federal Farm board. ' "The domestic market may im-1 prove later in the year but it is unlikely that the demand for ft^rm products in the summer and fall of 11)30 will be as good a? during last summer and fall," the report said. "The demand for some farm products already has been affected by the decline in industrial activity since last June. Butter, cotton and wool have been noticeably affected and apples, potatoes and grains have failed thus far to make the usual seasonal price advances." The outlook report, described by department officials as "probably the most impoilur.t of its yearly economic statements," is made for the parpose of helping farmers to g#uge production to the prospective demands for their products. "The outlook for farm mortgage financing and for marketing credit is more favorable than a year ago, but on the other hand the outlooa for production credit appears less satisfactory in most of the South," the report said. Items of Interest i United States postoffice inspectors have arrested three men at Miami, Fla., on a charge of attempting to collect $50,000 life insurance for the death of an alleged fictitious character. John 1). Rockefeller, Sr., took :t ride in an airplane at Ormand Beach, Fla., Tuesday.

Arrangements were being completed Wednesday in Hollywood, Cal., for the removal to Washington of the body of Mrs. Mary Baird Bryari, 69, widow of William Jennings Bryan, for burial beside her famous husband in Arlington National cemetery. Mrs. Bryan died Tuesday night at the home of her daughter in Beverly Hills, Cal. I)r. William J. Calvin, Eustia, Fla., physician, died in a hospital Wednesday night of gunshot wounds received because of the playful antics of his dog. Stopping to rest after I shooting doves, Dr. Calvin rested his gun against his leg. ?The dog brushed against the weapon and in some manner discharged it, the full* load taking effect in the master's side The physician lay in the woods with the dog at his side until a searching party found him. Colonel Leroy Springs stated Wed nesday in Charlotte that reports thai he was a citizen of New York were untrue. He said he had repeatedly said and wished to repeat emphatically that he is a citizen of Lancaster county, South Carolina, and that he pays taxes there and considers Lancaster his home. He owns a residence in Lancaster and lives there a part of the time. He also said that he had never moved his office to Charlotte and that he never intended to become a citizen of Charlotte or any other place than South Carolina. He also stated that his resig^ nation from the board of trustees of Winthrop college has never been accepted and that he has been advised that until his resignation is accepted he is still a member of the board. After a twenty year deadlock or the question of development of hydroelectric power on the St. Lawrenct river, it has been removed from its nolitical atmosphere by the New York legislature. The matter will b< left to a non-partisan commission possibly with Alfred E. Smith anr Charles Evans Hughes on the commission. DRUNKEN DRIVERS At a filling station at 10 o'clock at night on the outskirts of a Piedmont town, a young man reeling ir his tracks, watched the servicing oj the car. Repeatedly he asked the attendant, "Didn't I pay you for tha1 gas?" And as many times he wa? assured that he had. In the car be ing served were three others, an attractive girl and two lads, all showing evidences of a state of intoxicn tion. As the car moved off, it wa* evident that the driver was in nc condition to operate the vehicle. Yei out in the highway the swerving cai moved, a menace to those riding in il and to all traffic on the highway. And here we have a very definite example of conditions a highway pa tr<|l in South Carolina should meet Some authority should have been ex ercised right at the filling station, ti prevent those youngsters from goinc on the highway. Perhaps it shoulc be made the duty of all service sta tion operatives to report such cases Perhaps it should (be unlawful to sel gasoline to drunken drivers in sue) cases.?Spartanburg Herald.

Health and Beautv to" The Complexion In addition the liberal use of water externally and internally in the ,,promotion of health and good looks, massage is of invaluable service. Tins art was even practiced among the Babylonians and Egyptians. Trained masseurs were always in attendance in the hath houses of Greece and j Rome. The frequenters of the bat)) i were kneaded, moulded and massaged ' while lying upon marble tables. The art of massage is today well ! understood in Europe, where its thef- J apeutic value is greatly appreciated. ' Very few Americans understand its : virtues or its technique. Massage is.' valuable because it brings the blood ' to the parts. The muscles wither or : shrivel largely on account of the j 1 slowing down of the circulation. The blood contains all of the nutriment or , i nourishment fpr the body and when : . it is not carried abundantly to all i parts of the organism it suffers. This is often shown by the premature yellowing and wrinkling of the skin. Bathing, massage *nd exercise, all quicken the circulation and send a ' greater blood supply all over the fcodv and so help in keeping it in a healthful and therefore" youthful state. The majority of people do not know the difference between a rubbing and a massage. One needs but little in struction in order to rub n patient. ' but a massage can only be admtn: ister by one who has'had adequate ? training and is skilled in the art. It involves most careful and prolonged ' instruction. In beauty shops, the girls' who are ; in attendance, often know nothing of the structure of the anatomy of the face, and yet they are posing as t trained workers. The face can be 1 very .quickly aged and the skin become stretched by the unscientific i manipulations of ignorant persons. Face steaming is harmful. The y extreme heat attracts the natural fat j and in time will cause the skin to r become flabby. Many so-called astringents are very harmful to t.he s complexion. They dry -it out too ? much and disturb the natural secrvj' tions. Another cause of the unwelcome wrinkles is the habit of squinting and frowning. The former is often due to defective eyesight, and is remedied by proper adjustment of glasses. The ; latter can be secured by will-power . alone. 1 Bamberger Gives Away a Million .
