Charge It
It is might# easy to lose friends
and make enemies. I refused to
credit a man once, and he never got
over it. I credited his brother, and
he never got over it. I asked him
for my money and he said he didn't
like to be dunned. He fleiw up apd
has been mad ever since. He made
1 barrel of flour and \ ham and 2
pairs shoes by falling put -with me.
I tool^Nnan's word as his bond a
few weeks ago, btft found out a little
later that his bond was selling far
below par. He told me if 1M send
Ihim some goods he'd pay mie that
Lame afternoon at 5 o'clock. He's
Ipouting now because T sent a colleeI
tor to see him. Hp got $4.96 for tellling
that one Utile lie. A? friend of
[mine informed me that that guy
would tell Ilea all day for 2 cents
apiece. '
.Some folks will dodge you for 5
years rather than pay you 76 cents.
-Extending credit to^a^deadbeet is a
good way fo atot rid of him. I have
I known a man with a family of 10 to
pick up and move 46 miles to another
town rather than try to pay a
small grocery bill, end. his "moving
cost" was three dollars more than the
debt amounted to that he was run-]
ning away from. I
But if you want to get a real shyster's
dander up, make him pay you
after he has decided not to do ao.
Ho will never get, over it, and further?he
will accuse you of being a
rascaj. and a scamp and a*thief as
long as he lives. Some^poople, will
work for 2 dollars a day and go buy,
2 dollars worth of merchandise on
credit, and then "talk it about" that
they make 4 dollars a day, but don't
explain that they make 2, and take
the other % malice aforethought.
1 The' easiest debt in the world to
collect today is the- installments on a
car and It is singular, but true?a
fellow never gets : mad when he is
"dunned"'for an account which'is secured.
Where hit obligations are
poil*teral-ized, he calh such a debt
an honest ddbt, but where, be gets the
gooda on the confidence plan, that's
another thing*
L Therefore, my . advice to you is
L If you want to keep your
friends, sell '?m for cash* But It in
absolutely all right to sell folks not
counted among your friends on'credit;
they will pay you. PriraiSfctfus
credit business has put more men in
tjie asylum and cemetery than has
alk other hazards combined, except
making and selling booze.
ADVICETO CAR DRIVERS i
1. When you have to repair a tire
in the road, airways leave 4 or 5 big
rocks where other drivers will be
moire than likely to run into them
.and host a few casings.
' ' * v- ' 1
2. In negotiating blind curve# be
sure to drive on?fMe wrong aide of
the road so'* the fellow who happens
to (^meeting you can get a fafe-toface
look at an idiot. This will help
him coneiderably^-aB he might not
have time to go to an asylum to see
an idiot.
3. When a wagon or an ox team
or something has the way blocked 6
or 8 cars" ahead of you, always blow
your horn vigorously so's everybody
will know you are a fool. Some folks
are fools that look fairly sensible,
and more than likely this will fit your
case.
4. While making repairs on your
car never pull out on the side of the
road, but leave your car so placed
that when you are stooping over that
your tail will protrude toward the
center of the road, and in case somebody
passes and strikes you a glancing
blow, yoti can sue him for puni-i
tive, if not actual damages. i
5. Make it a rule to pass other
cars going over a hill. By following
this plan, you might have the pleasure
of running head-on into some
other* s&p-head that will possibly be
passing a car on the other side of
the hill.
. ? : - ' f V"*i
6. Always - turn your steering
wheel loose "while lighting a cigarette.
Undertakers and tombstone
agents make their living off of bonebeads
that do this, and you know
they've got to live gome-how-or-nuttier.
4
7. If the roads are very slick,
don't forget to slap on your brakes:
when you decide to stof^suddenly j
This practice will insure you against
living to a ripe old age and in most
cases?you can throw your back-end
intp a telegraph pole, or other obstruction.
, 9* Uqve fa at all the time. Don't
let no train beat you across a crossing.
Don't toot your horn at a pedestrian
till you get right on him
and watch him jump. Don't give f (
ear mebttt^rybu ^more than 8* ps?
cent of the road, rrmie a person
can't pass you on account of narrow
roads, drive slow, and make him mad.

Experiments With
Foreign Chestnut
, , Parasitic fungus that cause*
tna disease of chestnut known as the
blight or bark disease, was brought
into the United States from Asia
before this country had enacted plant
quarantine laws. As is often the
case with introduced plant and insect
pests, the chestmgFflBRght organ*
ism proved to be more virulent in
the home of its adoption than in its
native habitat. Chestnut blight was
first observed and recognized as i
now disease in this country at New
York City in 1<904, though it inush
have been present for some time
previous to that date. The millions
of acres of this valuable tree north
of the Potomac river and east of the
Allegheny Mountains have been killed
by that blight fungus and the remaining
American chestnut stands of
the southern Appalachians are beavily
infected and face certain destruction.
. Since direct control of Chestnut
blight was found to be impracticable,
jt.hfr discovery of suitable strains of
chestnut resistant to the disease was
highly desirable; It has been found
that individual native chestnuts differ
In susceptibility Uk attack but
search for many years has shown
that/ the number of trees actually surviving
in regions Where blight has
been present the longest is very
email. Some of these trees ore being
propagated and studied further
with the hope of developing a strain
of American Chestnut sufficiently resistant
to reach maturity in the presencc
of the dtseate. The numerous
living trees occurring on tracts recently
killed by blight ate generally
disease escaping rather than disease
resistant. J^or this reason search for
resistant specimens is profitable,
only in areas where all but very, exceptionable
chestnut trees have been
dead from the disease for a number
of years. Reports of unusually resisflant
trees?those that have not
been severely injured by the blight?
are desired. The Office of Forest
P^hoVogy records aTTTsuSft" trees' ??-"
ported and inspects them as field
work permits.
For a number of years after the
iheslnut twos, in different localities
were killed by the bright, the sprouts
rarely' reached a diameter of more
than a few inches before they were'
killed. Some sprouts now become
much larger and frequently produce
nuts of good quatty before being
killed by the blight. Other sprouts
continue to grow end produce nuts
hi spite of the bHght cankers on the
stems. Just what wHl be the ultimate
result of'this struggle between
host and parasite can not be definitely
sthted, though it is reasonable
to expect that by selection among
the seedlings growing from the nuts
of the sprouts a quick-fruiting, moderately
resistent strqin of the Ameriean
chestnut will finally bo evolved.
A number of strains of the Asiatic
chestnut have been brought to the
-United States by - the office df For
eign Plaftt Introduction ii^the hope
of obtaining a treo which wilt thrive
despite the chestnut blight. None
of the trees so far imported and
tested have , proved immune, but the
Japanese < chestnut and the - hairy
.Chinese chestnut have considerable
natural resistance to the disease. In
a 'number of cases private individuals
have introduced the Asiatic chestnuts,
a large number of which are
known to have survived the blight
in various parts of the country:
Strains of these oriental chestnuts
show marked difference in susceptibility
to this disease, and it may not
be practicable to control the blight
on some of the very susceptible ones.
Approximately five hundred seedlings
of the Asiatic chestnut of the
various strains have bedti planted by
the County Forester in Kershaw
county on the property of the following
individuals: Approximately
250 of these seedlings were planted
.on the Red and Green Hills plantation
of Mr. L I. Gulvu near Luguff;
the remainder were planted at Liberty
Hill on the'property of Mr. R. 0.
I Jones. These seedlings were planted
Ion AniririS ^ *-.
amination of these plantations by
Forest Pathologists from the Uni^d
State* Bureau of Plant Industry
show the seedlings to be in good <0*1dition
and the chances for success to
be excellent.
(Most of the imported chestnuts so
far tested have been suited for orchard
or omatoeatal purposes rather
than for timber production. (Mr. R.
K, Reattie of the United States Department
of Agriculture has been in
Asia for the P?8t two years securing
nuts from the most promising
trees of the forost types. Many
thousand seedlings from these forest
trees are now growing in nureeries
in the United State*. These
Asiatic chestnuts have shown marked
resistance to. the. blight under the
cltmatkr icroitditlona of their native
home and it is to be expected that
they will prove resistant in America.
They do not grow so tall or straight
as the American chestnut grows but
it is hoped that in addition to providing
*home sppply of nuts for
the fartili some of the strains will
prove suitable for small telephone
poles,' fence posts and extract wood.
Many strains of these chestnuts (coppice)
sprout readily. , Preliminary
analyses of the wood of these chestnuts
indicate than it contains as
much tannin as that of tha American
chestnut, if not more, says Charles
W. Nuite, County Forester.
