The favorable reaction of tin.' public towaid trust department nervine Is not' accidental. It may be traced jointly to the growing intelligence of the American people in llnamdal affairs and to advertising to the world at 1 large the merits of trust services. Advertising u.;ud in a sensible, judicious way is r^. ces.-ary, a power that has a<V : iuinpii-iied much good for humanity. Among the detailed services retij dered by a trust department the one that seems to he winning favor the fastest is the life insurance trust. Life insurance is the quickest known way of creating an estate. In reality it affords the possessor the opportunity of setting up a positive monetary safeguard for liis family and then paying for it on the installment plan. A married man is not fair to ills family if ho fails to carry life insurance. I would say to tho young man, "Buy insurance before you buy the ring." and to tin; young woman 1 would say, "Marry no man so thoughtless as to scoff at life itmuranee."' John G.

This Institute is the educational section of tho American Bankers Association through which .15,000 hank men and women are receiving scientilic instruction in their chosen business. "The most advanced people in teaching today are emphasizing the importance of activity on the part of the student." he says. "In the schoolroom of former days we often heard such phrases as, 'Bo still,' T^earn by heart,' 'Don't do that.' What does the ' hook say?' The newer education I asks, 'What do you think?,' 'What was i your reaction to that experiment?,' 'What did you discover?,' 'What rea| sons have you for your answer?' The New School Calls for Action "The 'expressing' school is taking the place of the repressing and Hs1 toning school. The classroom Is be1 coming an open forum, a studio of selfj expression, a place of mental growth. " The modern concepts of education are personal ex porlment.it ion.

'on Six Pigs Per Litter, Two Litters Per Year Clemaon College March 17.?'&o>wa must raise nut less than six pigs per litter an<l produce two litters each year to be profitable, declares L. V. Starkey, head of the animal husbandry division, who says that u good litter of pigs ?? just as important as a good stand of cotton or corn. "If sows and boars are both normal at breeding time the boar has no influence on the number of pigs farrowed. The sow is entirely responsible for the size of the litter. When sows receive extra feed for 10 days to two weeks before breeding they produce larger litters than when fed sparingly," says Mr. Starkey. p "When a sow is crossed with a boar of another breed, there are not more pigs produced per litter but the pig* are usuully a little larger than if they were purebred. Young sows do not farrow as-many pigs per litter as mature sows but they usual- 1 !y raise a larger per cent of the pigs farrowed. There seems to be some correlation between the milk production of the now and the number of pigs farrowed. "'J^e average weight of newly born pigs is about 2.5 pounds per head. The individual weight varies from' less than a pound to five or six pounds. "If huge litters are to be raised, sows must have the best of care at farrowing time. This means at least, shelter and a good bed, with judicious feeding. "In the Western states 76 per cent of the pigs are of spring /arrow, but in this state we should expect as many fall as spring pigs." Hugh Bramlett, v<tell known Greenville man, has been granted a full jmrdorf by Governor Richards. Bramlett, several years ago was sentenced to life imprisonment for the killing of his mother-in-law, Mrs. L. C. McHugh, in Greenville in January, 1921. Daisy Wingard, of Richland, serving three years for manslaughter, and George Goldrick, Charleston, serving a life sentence for murder, have been purpled by Governor RichaVds. I ? > -.T- ~ ! i?
