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.

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

new canning factory there, located

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

would grow vegetables instead of
cotton and make much more money
profit. . '
