How to Make Both Ends Meet Due to the fact that Hoover prosperity came u|H>n us at a time when wo were least able to stand it, me and my old lady decided that we must economize so that we might save the money that wo did not happen to have at that time, and there were no prospects of us getting any money either by inheritance, theft, work, bank, friends, or otherwise?and that's what gave us the idea. We took up this intensive economy campaign on June 1. e managed to pay nearly 10 per cent of our bills for tho previous months, and therefore started off with one side of t'hc EXCURSION ?TO?

We made up our mind* to pay caeh for everything, but we had to change trading places, as our former grocers might find out too soon that they need not expect any baok dues and talk about us. June must be an unlucky month. My, wife's kinfolks came swarming in on the second day. We reduced the cook's salary and she quit. We changed our telephone from an individual line to a party line: We were "J" and IMts. Amos Keeter was "M", and }ve never got to talk any for 6 solid days, and we felt that we wore "Jays" allright. We don't yet know how Mrs. Keeter ever found time to scramble the eggs, as she was so busy with the phone. "P ' ' ' We quit ham entirely and went to common Rtreuk-of-lean*iHtd-?treak-offat. And our indigestion came back on us. We bought sorghum instead of maqje. We tried bran instead of flour till I got choked the third day. We laid our own eggs and hatched our own chickens. (Rut we had been doing that before we took up this economy plan anew). We cut down on milk. We changed the style of soap in the bathroom, and sliced our own bread. I pressed my own britches and my wife pressed her own?dres<s. I quit sending my 2 collars to the laundry and wore them soft. We made our coffee weaker and drank it slower. We quit baiting the mouse trap with cheese apd repairing our old fly swatter. We wrote ohr 2 friends on postal cards. We changed from I>r. Skinnem's Liver Fluid to Salts. We went to the picture shows but didn't g^ inside. (Do you know a fellow can ge.^ u pretty good idea of what the show is if he will study the posters closely ?) Wo might have got somewhere with our effort* to wv? if my wife's kinfolk* had gone home on June the Fifth instead of July the Fifth. When we counted up how much wo had done for ourselves by straining at a couple of pennies and swallowing a pearl, we were just exactly 14 dollars urul 35 cents worse off than we were when we started. And the reason tlmt times are so hard I#? millions of other fools are trying to do what we tried to do and have quit trying to live normal lives. DIBS IN AFRICA. Son of I>r. James A. Hayne of Stale Health Hoard. \ ?? Columbia.?Dr. James A. Hayne, secretary of the South Carolina board of health, received a cablegram from Lagos, Nigeria, Friday, giving him the sad news that hi? son, Dr. Theodore B. Hayne, sent to Africa by the Rockefeller foundation's international health board to study yellow fever and gather data to aid in the fight on the yellow peril, had died from the disease he had given his life to conquer. Dr. Hayne was prostrated on receiving the news. No word has been received as yet as to what disposition will be made of the body. Young I)r. Hayne was a World War veteran, having served in the aviation corps. He was a graduate of the Citadel and also of the State Medical college at Charleston.
