Nobody's Business Written for The Chronicle by Gee MeGee, Copyright, 1828. Cepacia Figgera Speaking of the 8 babies that were accidently born in Hollywood last year, and the importation of 9,661 pet monkeys, and the 65,555 poodles that were shipped in from other sections of the country, we are ready to say that the talkie and single and laughie industry looks very promising, but all of this proves that Hollywood is not raising her own actors and actresses. Farm Lemon-aid I was very much surprised to find an old farmer in town last week who had really and truly believed that, government farm relief was actually going to relieve the farmer. He said that he might be by himself in holding on to this hope, but he saw no reason in the world why fertilizer should not 'be 10 to 15 cents a ton lower this year in sympathy with cotton, and turnipgreens ought to fetch 11 cents a gallon in April in-; stead of 12 cents today. Hope-?that eternal "thing" that makes us continue to desire to live. About Water Expected Congress has decided to use the Muscle Shoals dam for a fish pond. Some nice $ttle fishes will possibly be ordered from Norway and it won't be long now before American grown sardines will be on the market. The upper end of the lake will be rented out to picnicking parties for swimming holes ansoforth. The power plant will be turned into a tape factory which will make nothing but red tape?the kind used (by the government so extensively. After all? the 10-million-dollar investment looks like it is going to pan out some fish at least. Speed, The Undertaker's Friend It looks like it is getting just about as dangerous to ride in an airplane as it is to live in Chicago.

P. LEWIS Camden, S. C. t ' % . * ' my doubts about so much speed helping this old country of ours anyway. It doesn't matter much "whether a letter gets to me in two days or four days, especially if it's a bill If a person wants tp go to New York on Friday, he needn't wait until Friday in order that he might use a flying machine. He could start on 'Ihursday, and would possibly reuch there in time to do anything that ought to be done Saturday. This rush and hustle and bustle hasn't done anything but kill a good many of us, and run lots of us crazy, and bust the rest of the population. I'm irj favor of tuking my time myself ?unless somethin' or nuther gets after me?like a dog or a snake. Am Eye-Opener Men, don't laugh at Chicago because she's busted. Your town is likewise busted. Check up and see if you have not issued all the bonds that the law will let you issue and also look around and ascertain if you have not permitted your city council to spend a great deal more for the past 8 or 10 yeairs than they have garnered from the taxpayers. In fact, you might be surprised if you don't learn that you owe thousands upon thousands of dollars for current expenses. Spending money has been what our politicians have done nothing else but for a long time. They have used all the cash they could get and have ulmost exhausted all of their credit. This applies to all states, most cities and some counties. The schemes to laise money to waste are legion. There are 28 different kinds of taxes and licenses paid by the business world, and the tax gatherers arc now wearing ptxulti-powered goggles? seeking other things to devour. Up till last night, no one had ever,, thought of reducing operating expenses. They reduced a garbage can toter from 25 dollars a week to 25, dollars a week. A man with some bull and a little pull can get a good public job now ?regardless of his ability and in some cases, regardless of his dishonesty. Half of the government employees could be turned off and nobody would miss them except the picture shows and the boarding houses. It costs 4 dollars and 20 cents to thread a government needle. You ipust have a needle holder and a thread poker and an eye-finder and a thread catcher and a pool holder and an eye-wetter and a store keeper. Folks working for the public trample on one another, yet they have different duties. Heal estate (farm lands) is being essessed for tax purposes at a higher price than they will fetch, even tho the trade be made between a willing buyer and a willing seller. The state is buying thousands of acres of land for taxes, and yet, nothing is being done to relieve the situation. The lack of action reminds me of a throng of so-called intelligent people passing a man iij the street who had been run over and crippled 'badly by an automobile, and no one raised a hand to mend his broken leg or to stop the flow of blood from his wounds. That's politics, Mr. Voter. Q. "What can be done to remedy the situation you are referring to? A. Nothing. Q. Why? A. Politics. _ Q. What put the country in such a mellofahess ? A.? Politics. If You Want To Know Why If you want to know why parking space is so scarce, just ask me. In the first place, 15 .per cent of it is taken up by filling station entrances. In the second place, picture shows and fire hydrants absorb 15 per cent of the room. In the third, place, hotels and taxis use ?0 per cent of the marked-off territory, and in the fourth place, the clerks in the stores anchor their joy-buggies in 45 per cent of the allotted stopping privileges, so that leaves only 5 per cent for the poor customers and outof-town visitors. Standing Room Only And speaking of our modern times, permit us to say this: Unless the average man and the average woman, commonly called our citizens of moderate means, or poor folks, if you please, (and that includes practically all of us), begin to take more interest in getting a house to live in rather than an automobile to ride in, within 10 years from now, a large per cent of us will be living in tents or out in the woods. Very few new bouses are being built nowadaws, but the younguns are getting married at a horrible rate and many of them are multiplying. They can't cook and eat in a set of 4-wheel brakes, can they ? Also Knickers The first sign of Spring is not the coming of the butterflies, or the budding of the maples, or the sing.ing of the katy-did?but when you see a boy going down the street with a baseball bat on his shoulder and a glove hanging onto his belt, Old Man Spring has arrived. And there are other signs, such as: Turnip sallet and the disappearance of the underskirt and the feather-bed swinging on the garden fence and the clucking of the old hen with her young, and laat but not least?the front door is closed for the annual cleaning and the old man has to go in at the rear and wuhh his f*ce in the kitchen sink. Cotton letter New York, Feb. 12?Spots were easier on the opening, that is?all spots except red spots. Bombay hedging and a few Texas clouds hampered March contracts to the! tune of 8 points in sympathy with Hoover's prosperity proper gander. I The shorts .were long on hedges and the straddlers were short on longs when call money advanced to 6 per cent. 1 he h arm Relief Hoard is now buying cotton and if necessary to boost jprices, they (will buy the cotton mills and give the farmers a job of manufacturing their own product. We advise lining up with Grundy. ML l'iagah Newa Kershaw, S, C.. Feb. 18.?The farmers' evening class met Wednesday night at 7 o'clock in the agricultural classroom. Twenty six farmers were present. The problem of the most important sources of phosphoric at id, ummonia, and potash were discussed by the farmers. Charts showing the results of experiments conducted by the South Carolina Experiment Station were presented by the agricultural teacher. The experiences of the farmers, as well as the experiment station data, were considered before a decision was reached. Various fertilizer mixtures were suggested by the farmers and worked out on the board by the agricultural teacher, lhe importance of deriving part of the ammonia from un organic source was brought out in the discussion. Before the meeting adjourned a few minutes were given to the discussion of pastures for the community. Since several of the farmers had some low moist land suitable for the growing of carpet grass, it was suggested that a cooperative seed order be worked up in the class. Eleven farmers, ordered a total of 100 pounds of carpet grass seed. The seed will be delivered to them at the next regular meeting. The discussion for Wednesday night will be on corn fertilizers and top dressing small grains. Coffee and sandwiches will be served to the members of the class Wednesday night. All farmers are urged to be present. Scoop Latimer III Greenville, Feb. 17.?J.

A. Latimer. The sports writer, who before his association with the LaVarre interests was sports editor for the Gretfnville News, was reported to be in * very weak condition. His physicians would not allow him to see any visitors. He was strjeken on Friday of last week. I Get Five Years Wilson, N. ., Feb. 14.?J. D. Reid and H. S. Stanback, officers of the defunct Commercial bank here, a j negro institution, were sentenced to five years in state's prison today for receiving deposits for the bank knowing it to be insolvent.

SPARROW, County Auditor t Health and Beauty (By Dr. Sophia Brunson) Good Looks?Serial No. 6This article it) No. 6 of the aeries under the genera) heading "Good Looks." Heretofore the articles have been named "The Complexion* Remember that your face fs the bulletin board which you present to the public. It telU whether you are vibrant with health, youth and happiness, or only half alive. There can be no real physical beauty without health. All the organs of the body must be functioning harmoniously. Money cannot buy health, and yet it is the most valuable possession a person can have. "Nor love nor honour, wealth nor pow'r, Can give the heart a cheerful hour, When health is lost. Be timely wise; With health all taste of pleasure flies." Health is beauty. When health vanishes, beauty goes with it. Whtl'J you have this treasure guard it well, for when once lost it may never return. If you want to regain or keep perfect health, you have an individual work to do for yourself that no one can do for you. Lines and wrinkles are Nature's language which reveals the character of the thoughts and emotions which huve been imprinting themselves upon the facial muscles through the years. Around the mouth and eyes these lines are most noticeable, and it is remarkable the way they will tell observers the kind of person that is back of them. Lines and expression once acquired are often permanent. How very important it is to think hard and noble thoughts that will chisel benevolence and goodness upon your countenance. This is far more to be desired than mere physical beauty. We often see faces that God created to be beautiful, which the owners have spoiled by selfishness, eovetoukncss, envy and other unlovely traits. For such faces no amount of external beauty treatments can help. Nothing but a complete change of heart can avail to remodel the repellant, soured countenances into attractive ones. Cultivate a happy, joyous disposition. Happiness in the heart will not cnly make life worth living, but it is a great beautifier. Even little children will look into your face and see goodness there. Then they will trust you. People will instinctively be drawn to you. Though you have rugged features, a beautiful spirit will shihe out through your expression. '' We cannot circumvent nature. If we disregard her laws in any way we pay the penalty. The best remedy for really disagreeable wrinkles and the permanent aging of the face is by obedience to nature's physical and spiritual laws.
