Friday, October 23, 1031 The .Chronicle hopes that every man, woman and child will attend the Kershuw County Fair for at least one day next week. The Leg ion-Shrine and their co-workers have labored hard to make it a success. County Agent Henry 1). Green, whose work carries him into every part of the county, tells us that from all indications there will be on exhibition more home-raised products, cattle and swine than was ever shown in this county before. He has labored . hard and earnestly in his work among farm folks and people will see the result of his efforts as reflected in the livestock exhibits of his 4-H Club members. Merchants who do not advertise are invited to read the following from the American Bankers Magazine, as it might give them a new slant on business?your own business?as well as the matter of building up your town. . "No business man in any town should allow u newspaper published in his town to go without his name and business being mentioned somewhere in its columns. This does not mean you should have a whole, half or even a quarter page ?d in each issue of the paper, but your name and business should be mentioned, if you do not use more than a 2-line space. A stranger picking up a newspaper should be able to tell what business is represented in a town by looking at the paper. This is the best possible town advertiser. The mar. who does not advertise his business does an injustice to himself and the town. The man who insists on sharing the business that comes to town, but refuses to advertise his own is not a valuable addition to any town. The life of a town depends on the live, wide-awake and liberal advertising business men." One Answer, Anyway Two boys were talking the other day and one asked his companion this question: "Why is it that there are more automobile wrecks on the hard surfaced roads than there are train wrecks in comparison of automobiles to locomotives," and the boy ^thought for a minute and replied: "Who ever - heard of an engineer necking a fireman ?"?Yorkville Enquirer. Making Long 'Hops* in Southward Flight Washington, Oct. 15.?This is one time when seeing should not be believing, duck hunters are being warned in the latest statement of Paul G. Redington, chief of the Biological Survey, the bureau of the U. S. Department of Agriculture charged with protecting migratory birds. "By comparison with former seasons the ducks on their southern flight will find great tracts of waterless land," Mr. Redington ' said. "With comparatively few suitable water areas left by drought and drainage the ducks will be forced to concentrate in lfcrge numbers. Many , hunters and especially members of gun clubs, which Are usually advantageously located, are apt to conclude that waterfowl are. more plentiful than over before. "Actually unimpeachable evidence has proved," he said, "that many species, including those most highly prized by hunters, are dangerously scarce. .Shooters who choose to believe what they see and to take their limit of ducks in the areas of^concentration will, without exaggeration, be jeopardizing their sport for all time." While the shortage has been brought about by the cumulative effect of drainage and drought as well a.- hy shooting, and an augmented rcstora; ;\e p: oftram is needed, the hii-eati head do la red. the most immediate emergency and one in the power of every sportsman is to help in avoiding a heavy kill of the ducks this season, which is now open in most of the north. "For the true sportsman the kill is only part of the joy of hunting." he * reminded. "There is the thrill that comes of just being in the outdoors. the tang of the frosty morning. the glamor of 'blue bird' weather, the whirring of wings overhead."

Itexall Store To * Put On lc Sale DeKalb Pharmacy and the DeBass Drug Store, the local Kexall Drug Stores have just received a personal letter from Ix>uis K. Liggett, leading figure in the drug world, old friend of former President Coolidge and a keen student of modern business. The messuge sent froip Boston headquarters of this outstanding pacemaker in successful merchandising is as full of good news as an English Wulnut is of meat. Mr. Liggett throws some mighty interesting sidelights on current business affairs and has crowded much unanswerable logic into the document. Referring to one of his conversations with former President Calvin Coolidge, he tells that after an hour's discussion of business problems, Mr. Coolidge declared: "Supply and demand will make the price. It always bas and always will. You cannot control what Gt>d produces." Mr. Coolidge was referring to the Knglish attempt that failed? to regulate production and price of rubber, and for. Liggett's comment* is, "No special legislation?no national legislation?no world intercourse world courts can* establish a. value that will turn the flow of business. Calvin Coolidge was right when he said that price can be regulated only by supply and demand." The fact that at this particular time of business stress there is listed the largest number of Kexall drug stores in drugdom's history, was received with no little satisfaction, because it proved to him the wisdom of becoming the Kexall druggist in this' particular locality where the profit and good will assured by the Kexall plan to both the one who sells and the one who buys has been a community affair of mutual benefit. "I think the biggest merchandising idea that has ever been promulgated in America is the fall one cent sale," continued Mr. Liggett, and he gives this bit of history: "I brought this sale to you in the fall of PJ 14, after war had been declared between the European countries. Everything was at a standstill. Stock markets were closed. Everything was going to hell in a hack, and the one-cent sale put your business over then und it will do the same thing this fall." More money is going to be spent on the publicity program for this autumn One Cent Sale than has ever been expended before. As its projector who gave it to the independent druggists who have accepted the Rc'xall merchandising plan, Mr. Liggett says: "The theme and scheme back of the one cent sale is clean?it \A wholesome?it is truthful. It is merchandising from factory to consumer with the lowest possible intermediate profit. You will give employment in your stores by reason of what your consumers buy. And after all, that is what" is'g'Crthg to tide us over!" This Rexall one cent sale will be run the first week in November and the people of this community! will share in this greatest festival ofjbuying opportunity of the current strenuous year.

The action came at a special call meeting to organize for participation in the credit corporation, formed at the instigation of Pre?ident Hoover, and to consider the plan recently put'forward at New Orleans for holding several million bale* of 1931 cotton off the glutted market. The bankers said their action was an expression of their faith in the two programs devised to lift the south and the nation from the depression. It was pointed out that participation makes available- to South Carolina resources of the billion dollar organization. It is possible, the bankers said, that a material addition may be made I to the $1,000,000 already subscribed, j The plan is dfesigned to enable banks to convert their "frozen assets" into liquid form to be used by the institutions for the benefit of their communities. South Carolina's unit in the corporatioh will be managed by a loan committee of seven bankers to be appointed by a committee composed of VV. J. Roddey, Sr., of Rock Hill, A. L. M. Wiggins, of Hartsville, president of the South Carolina Bankers' association, and A. E. Bird, of Charleston, vice president of the association. Mr. Roddey was appointed by the Fifth Federal Reserve district directors as organizer for the South Carolina unit of the corporation. He said tonight that he expected to be in a position to announce the membership of the loan committee before the end of the week Speaking over radio station WIS tonight, Mr. Wiggins said "South Carolina bankers today demonstrated not only their faith in themselves and in South Carolina," but their ability to capitalize the possibilities that lie ahead by taking a large participation in the most substantial agency for economic reconstruction that has been developed?the National Credit association. * * * Few people realize the large release of money that will follo\y the operations of this corporation. | "South Carolina will benefit to a | large extent in the release of these funds as a result of the large subscriptions of South Carolina to the debentures of the corporation." The bankers' action in regard to cotton holdings is effective only on condition that the 1932 crop be reduced by 50 per cent from the lp31 acreage. They pledged themselves to . make every effort to see that such a reduction i&-carried out. The decision to participate in the credit corporation program was made at a two hour morning session, . attended by approximately 50 bankers. At a longer session in the afternoon the cotton plan was approved. Through it the banks of South Carolina agreed to join with banks of other cotton states to make or to renew loans maturing not earlier than July 31, 1932, secured by cotton * j n m nnnfa oiw \ on 3 500,000 bales. R. B. Caldwell, of Chester, president of the South Carolina Cotton Cooperative association, announced that his organization is prepared to finance an unlimited amount of cotton. Joseph E. Gagle, manager of the federal intermediate credit bank, of Colurdbia, said his institution is in a position to purchase from banks t or other financial institutions cotton loans in this state to the amount of i $5,000,000. The Republican club of Massachusetts has overwhelmingly approved a proposal favoring the resubmission of the ISth amendment or revision of it, to state constitutional convent.ons.
