Frldi%r, Jane 26. 1**1. F.d Howe, the veteran Kan?a* newlpaper man has looked out upon life through the eyes of a newspaper reporter for more than forty years. The following observation .by hiin is of interact for the reason that it is tho opinion of a trained observer of life. JV!r. Howe syas: The young should be taught the danger of getting a tart in idleness. If a young man in idle up to the age of twenty, hla case is usually hopeless. Industry should be taught the young like man, ners .arithmetic, grammar, history, music. After The Depreasion?What? Wo are indebted to Rockwell Smith, a real eiAate man of Van Nuys, California, for the collection of certain facts about financial deprosions in the past, whioh should be valuable in predicting the future. Mr. Smith went through a file of newspapers back to the lH60f* and finds thee# fact*: There was a businees dopreaeion In \Wt lasting twelve months. There was a business depression in i860 lasting eight montihs. There was a business depression in jlfa lasting thirty ntentha. " , Thets was a business depression in 16&4 lasting twenty-two months. There was a business depression in 1887 lasting ten months. V There was a business depression in t893~ta4ting twenty-five months. There was a business depression in 1908 lasting twenty-five months. There was a business depression in T,#07 lasting nearly twelve months. There was a business depression in lbl4 lasting eight months, There was a business depression in li>21 lasting fourteen months. The important thing about these past panics, however, is that every one of them has been followed by flush timea, and the longer the depression lnjrted, the longer and more active the The present depression has lasted nearly twenty months. We can hardly bay that the "boom" which will purdly follow it .ha* begun, but we take the optimistic hope that it is on 'its way, though we buiy expect that the recovery wilMx* blow. -..JJ.I'UJ' a.'C-J J if 39 King Cotton'* CoMptaiat King Cotton spoke -with s mournful sir, while seated on his fleecy throne: "My subjects drive me to despeir. I wish they'd learn to stand alone. They lean on me for everything; and ail their burdens I must tote. Although 1 am a kindly king, I vow their methr ods get my goat. Each autumn, from my whitening fields, I bring to them a goodly rent; but little joy to them it yields because the coin> already spent. They buy on credit at the stores, most everything from pork to pills; to my account they charge the bills. Eggs, bacon, beans, or onion sets, they buy them from the merchants' shelves; and keep me loaded down with debts for things they should produce themselves. They spread my credit out so thin it hurts my -prestige and my fame. They pUy a game that cannot win, end when they lose, I gqt the blame. If they would raise a garden patch, and keep some pigs, say three or four, the wolf would not so often scratch the varnish from their kitchen door. If they would keep a cow or two, some hens of goodly ancestry, 'twould change their pessimistic view, und greatly ease the strain on me. I'm sure if they would do their part to live at home and board there/ too, that I could help them get a start and own the comforts that are due. But when they ask me to supply each want, from soup to shingle-bob, I really must confess that I feel hardly equal to the job. If I yvere not compelled to dig for things* their gardens should produce, for products of the cow or pig, the hen, the turkey or the goose, then I could help them hoard some dough, and slow but surely get ahead, and all iny bounty would not go to pay for horses that are dead."?W. P. Morrison in Farm und Ranch. THE CANNING INDUSTRY An enlarged cannery is now opened in Bennettsville, and the new concern is known as the Kirkwood Iodine Vegetable Cannery. The cannery which opened at Camden last year resumed operations for this year about two weeks ago. The operations of these new canneries will be watched with interest as the canning factories of this state -mu-y?blosaom forth into a sizable industry. We understand that., the sale of South Carolina products in canned form is in demand and that this part of the business takes care of itself: However, the production of vegetables for canning in this state at present is not and probably will not be for years to come larfce enotf^h to keep canning factories open long enough to pay profits. As long as cotton was selling for twenty cents a pound there was little chance of large truck production in this state outside of limited areas. With the cotton production cut considerably there is now room for an expansion of the vegetable crop.?Lancaster News. * James F. Glenn, teacher in a boys school at Stratford, Conn., the past t-hrnp ypnrs. is in Yorkville to spend I a part of the summer with his mother, Mrs. W. D. Glenn.

Kirkwood, has started his new canning factory there, located conveniently on the town's two railroads, and advertise for beans and tomatoes to be planted following oats and sold to the cannery in advance of growing at a good price. It will also can all vegetables grown in sufficient <, quantity around it. The cannery is not very large now, but the^ owner will enlarge it to whatever Idee the offerings of tomatoes and beans by surrounding farmers require. The capitalization of the corporation he is forming for the cannery is only $5,000. The same enterprise could put a cannery in every county seat in South Carolina, if the farmers would grow vegetables instead of cotton and make much more money profit. . ' Two aged farmers, Jess Smotherman, GG, and Bonnie flare, GlL-/near Murfreesbono, Tenn., hanged' themselves. They left notes saying they had "decided to quit."
