that one man may not be u
school district trustee and a teacher
of the school at the same time, and
when placed in both positions must

A man arriving in Gaffney, rented
a store, and announced that he was
going to open there an antique shop,
one of a chain of three, the rest in
North Carolina. Then he was jailed

What About Cotton
For Bagging
If cotton bagging were substituted
tor Jute on cotton bales, a market
would be created for some 200,000
balets of the lowest grade cotton and
an estimated annual saving of three
to four million dollar* would be
achieved, depending upon the sire of
the crop, export* and' competing
price* of jute.
To begin with, there would be a
saving jn weight of from 7 to 10
pound* on each bale. Every bale of
cotton hu* to be hauled somewhere,
most of it by freight to some more
or less distant point. On ?ix to *?ven
million bale* exported, together
with the saving on cotton in domestic
ti ade, the saving in freight costs is
estimated at about $2,000,000. wSav-|
ing on insurance commission* would
run around $.100,000, and there would
be a saving on toward another mil- j
lion dollars.
A number of hearings have been
held in Washington looking toward
the wider use of cotton bagging. ?Some
of these we have attended. In making
the change from jute to cdtton
there seems to be no problems that
do not lend themselves to very practical
solution. Perhaps the first
thing to do will be to get an act
of Congress that will definitely establish
standards for the size of bale;,
for the weight of ties and bagging,
and that will force all cotton moving
in interstate and foreign commerce
to be sold on a net weight
basis. In doing this we will be setting
up no, precedent, for selling on
a net weight basis is practiced in
every other cotton producing country
under the sun except our own.
As a matter of fact, more than half
the American crop sold in Eurbpe is
sold on what amounts to a net weight
basis. Foreign markets are quite
willing to have us handle our part of
the business that way.
Tests have demonstrated that cotton
bagging is not only a suitable
protection but that its neat appearance
adds much to the attractiveness
of the cotton bale in the markets,
and that in foreign shipments where
cotton bagging has been used, the
bales arrive in better shape. So
there are no objections of any sort
that cannot be overcome, once we
have opportunity to get at them, as
we have only through proper legislation.
Much is being said about new uses
for cotton. Covering cotton with
cotton appeals to us as offering about
the greatest opportunity to increase
cotton consumption.
(iRASSIIOPPERS DESTROY CROPS
Devastation Like That of Sixty Years
Ago leaves Nothing Rut Ground
The agricultural department says
that it has nO- funds with which to
mule, luke the?graduation of gi-n-,.?
hoppers in the heavily infested states
of Nebraska and South Dakota.
Acting Secretary -Dunlap told Representative
Howard, Democrat, of Nebraska,
the department's appropriation
for grasshopper control was
small and restricted to research work.
Drought conditions in the Northwest
are supplemented Dy a return or
the grasshopper in South Dakota, Nebraska.
Eastern Colorado, Idaho' and
Western Kansas. The hated pest has
been assisted in this latest progress
across the prairies by three dry years
that have come in swift succession.
The grasshopper's eggs are laid
three inches below the surface of the
ground, and according to the estimate
of an expert at the South Dakota
agricultural college a single
spadeful of earth examined by him
contained 100,000 of them. Not for
more than sixty years have the insects
appeared in such numbers.
b or many years a suggestion of humor
has attached to mention of grasshoppers
a-s a serious menace. Yet in
1S70 they devasated a vast Western
farming area, and now the threat is
so serious in the state referred :o
that carloads of poison have been imported
in order to combat them. Millions
of eggs have been destroyed, but
the menace continues.
But pessimists were handed a terrific
wallop in some sections of Nebraska.
A pest of hungry grasshoppers
wreaked havoc among the
crops but enterprising farmers there
have found that grasshoppers packed
in a preservative formula bring 2C
k cents a pound among fishermen ir
Michigan and other states. The
grasshopper crop is more productive
than their wheat.
In Nebraska 63 of the state's 9:
counties have been infested. In one
South Daleota field of l.ftOO acres
Iowa state entomologists found nol
enough remains to feed a single ani

river eastward.
Horrent ion in the Home
Recreation is a re-creation or u
re-fa?hioning <>* the soul in the linage
of God wherein it was created."?
A. K. Wells.
the home is the natural center of
play and play is the natural source
of education for the child. It is his
business. When parents realize the
importance of play and when play begins
to take its proper .place in the
educational outlook then leisure at
home wikl become a most fruitful
time for all the family.
Io pluy together?not because wt
should but because w* want to playis
a splendid opportunity for understanding
and growth on the part of
both parents and children. Those
children who go outside the home because
of u desire to be where "something
is doing" will be happy to stay
home when parents realize the possibilities
of home recreation. Some
one has suid, "Recreation and play
lightens the home atmosphere as
yeast lightens bread." It has a <lofj
inite power to raise the plahe of life
to higher spiritual and intellectual
levels."
r
Recreation in the home is not a
thing of wealth nor of time, but of
attitudes? the world is so full of a
number of things but unless the children
and the things are brought inio
intelligent contact' it will be difficult
for them to be as happy as kings.
When children quarrel, fret or
complain for something to do, they
are reminding us once more that
every normal child needs to play. Of
course they can be punish<*j or made
to keep quiet, but it is better to
give them something to do. Children
live in a world of make-believe. They
like to play.
Play develops character, produces
courage, trains a child in honesty and
creates social attitudes. The boy or
girl who takes his turn at play will
grow into a man or woman who will
cooperate with his neighbor in soling
milk, fruit, vegetables or in buying
feed and fertilizer.
The child's mind may be thought
of as a storehouse for which we offer
him experience, contacts, pictures,
knowledge, sights, scenes and sounds.
This storehouse contains his wealth,
that which he is to use all his life
l?ng. out of which ho builds a radiant
soul. Almost all of these bits of gold
or dross come from his play.
Reading is one of the greatest
sources of wealth for the child's
storehouse. Motion pictures may be
one of the finest educational forces
we have. They may bring far away
places and events so close as to become
at once a part of his experience.
But the movie cannot compete
for a moment with the drama in
which the child participates. The
child is a being of action. Another
form of drama is the puppet show
which combines carpentry, water colors
and much wrapping paper will
work wonders in combination with
the child's imn;-inntir>n
Music and poetry are closely aFihr
The music from within is the real
music to the child and will grow as
tissue grows?by use. Many times
his simplicity and depths of meaning
is far superior to that which we give
him by radio or phonograph or mechanical
piano.
. - A play might be arranged once a
week, or every two weexs or even
once a month when just the family
is together and play games?get acquainted
with your family, you might
like them.
We are all familiar with the houselife
of Theodore Roosevelt?how he
and Mrs. Roosevelt were regarded as
' playmates ?&nd companions of their
children and when a day's program
was planned it inaluded all the fami'y
?from the seven year old to the
sixty-five year old Mother?together.
Speaking of this communal play of
the family, Col. Roosevelt says, "That
is what counted, 1 believe, in my own
life more, than anything else?that
communal play and association."
We need games that recreate us
from moment to moment so that our
souls shall never get dry, prosaic or
discouraged. Play and beauty running
like a gold thread through the
I warp of our life fabric are surely as
; needful a< the more concentrated and
! exclusive business hours,

i agent. Sadie B. Craig, will be glad
to furnish you with suggestions and
addresses for hooks suitable for re.
creation in the home.

Camden Juniors
Lose To Columbia
(Saturday'* Columbia State)
Columbia'* Legion Juniors defeated
the snappy Camden Junior team yesterday
afternoon, 6 to 1, to take the
state I region title the second consecutive
year, thereby winning the right
to enter the regional championiftip
series at Gastonia August 13 and 14.
If the Capital City boys go undefeated
through their battles with the
champions of North Curolina, Virginia
and Tennessee, they will advance
to the Eastern finals at Manchester,
N. H. The winner there will
meet the Western champion at Houston,
Texas, in "the little world series."
In reference to yesterday's game,
too much cannot be said for the
gamely fighting team from the Kershaw
seat, especially the pitcher, Curtis
Munn. Shouldering the major
burden of his team's offense and defense,
he fanned nine batters, more
than has any Colu,mbia opponent this
season, alh/wed only ten safeties and
led his own team's batting with two
hits out of four times at bat.
? His delivery was easy, his'curves
baffling and his speed good. Using
these to the best advantage with the
help of his catcher, "Cabbage" Nelson,
he changed his pace and sized
up his batsman witih the ability of a
veteran.
Nelson and J3ill Reeves secured the
other Camden safeties and the whole
team gave a good account of itself
afield. Albertus Truesdale topk fielding
honors for the visiting outer gardeners
with three catches and an
assist, while Nelson led the infielders.
Camden presented an organization
of youngsters averaging less than 16
years old. Most of them will be eligible
for play next year. They were
playing against a seasoned team, most
of the placers of which had seen one
year's service with a championship
Junior outfit.
Kenneth Ouzts, with two doubles,
furnished all the extra base fireworks
in yesterday's tilt, while Harry Laval,
son of the University of South Carolina
coach, took batting honors with
three singles out of four times at
hat. Bee Harper was runner-up with
three out of five. Jim Good and J. J.
Kneece secured a single apiece, the
only other Columbia bingles.
Kneece was erratic on the mound
at times, but he managed to pull
himself out of almost every hole. He
fanned 13 batters, walked only three
and let up only four hits. Only one
error was charged against the Columbians,
a bouncing peg to second
by Bunny Graham, catcher.
A loose start by Camden allowe 1
the Columbia Juniors to cash in three
runs on a 'hit, a walk and two errors
in the opening inning. They tallied
no more than one run in any one
-g.t.n ny;i t h orofl f f
Munn tallied for Camden in the
fourth. He singled to left field, stoie
second, advanced to third on Graham's
miscue and scored on Nelson's
single to right.
Graham was safe at first in Columbia's
half of the same inning,
when Alvin Sanders hobbled his
?rrounder at shortstop. He swiped
second and tallied on Harper's drive
to left field.
Ouzts poled out his second double
in the fifth and stolfr third and home.
After two were out in the sixth,
Harper placed a hot grounder between
shortstop and third baqe. Good
scored him with a drive through the
same territory.
