Therefore, all far mers who desire to purchase pasture seed will please notify me at ohce as to the approximate amount of each kind of seed he will probably need. Those interested iff pasture work should secure from the county agent? a copy of extension bulletin entitled "Better Pastures for South Carolina." Study this well in order that you may make no mistake in putting in the right kind of seed in the right place. In general the following recommendations should be observed: For coastal plain dry sandy lands or uplands, Bermudft grass cuttings and Lespedeza or Japan Clover should be used; for coastal plain moist or bottom lands use Carpet Grass, Lespei deza or White Dutch Clover. You fcwill find the bulletin mentioned will be of much value an/1 service to you in working out your pasture program, advises Henry D. Green, county agent. W. R. MoCuen, of Laurens, resigned this week from the highway commission on which he represented the eighth district, with his term expiring this year. Some Newberry people urged Governor Blackwood to appoint to the vacancy, J. Marion Davis, cotton mills superintendent and former mayor of that town. MoCuen was appointed by Governor Richards.

C, ? -A"*1**** of the legislative *'* tion proposals given out by the Farmere' ??*d Taxpayer.; League todajr is as follows: "A taxpayers strike next fall ? quite probable unless this legislature gives material relief. This comes to u? from spontaneous statements o* responsible and determined men in widely separated counties. "Anything more than a seven million dollar appropriation bill is certain to start things. This i? no threat, but a report of facU. "The house bill of eight millions cut. department, and institution. ?nd public service drastically. But it hardly touches the sixteen millions for common schools. '"If the legislature does not get up the courage to make a real reduction in school costs it is heiufcd ioy an increased deficit; for it must then rely on continuing the property levy for the state's appropriation bill, ant) that promises to bring on a stubborn refusal to pay. Today's bill requires such a levy. "The demand is to keep the state appropriation within the state's indirect revenue from income, inheritances.Muxury and license taxes; and this wc may expect to be seven millions unless tho general economic conditions get much worse than anticipated. "The only feasible way to cut another million out of the house eight million dollar bill is to reduce its threo millions for state aid for the schools. The league proposes to cut it -in half. That would reduce tho whold school costs for operation only 14 per cent., which is not going to "close' schools. If the counties and school districts' want to reduce their own local school operating expenses by additional amounts they should be free to do so. Wise school authorities are calling their teachers together and arranging readjustments of this years contracts. lEven the house bill does not cover the present 6-0-1 salary contracts. Since they^ cannot be met they had better be revised. % '0 "The leagud proposes a 27 per cent, cut in the general state expenses including a 25 per cent, cut in the colleges, and a 14 per cent, cut in schools. This allows for continuing most of Clemson's field work, the county health work and other state activities, but all on a reduced scale. This means $5,500,000 for the state and $1,500,000 for the school aid, a total of $7,000,000; anything more spells difficulties. "The re-action from the refusal of the senate last week to commit itself not to exceed $9,000,000, is an important indication of popular sentiment. The senate's agreement to use a two mill levy, for the state deficit meets with popular and press approval. But the indication that to this levy will be added another levy for the appropriation bill to bring it up to eight or nine millions, brings expressions of lively disapproval. ' "Counties are cutting supply bills without exception, some as much as thirty to fifty per cent. ! "Tho league program is moderate considering the necessities and the tempo of the taxpayers." The bursting of a IS-inch water conduit on Broad street. Philadelphia | on Sunday last, did damage to property by flooding cellars amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

A green background was said to be the besj for prolonged tranquility. Black was banned ns having a depressing effect upon the mind. The practicability of decorating office^ in colors that would best suit the mentality of the business men concerned was discussed.

Whatever bird took the food away assumed also the burden of the complaint. Almost IncredlWy childish was that proc&lurtt for removing a stye from the eye. All that was needed here was to push one end of a stick la the lire, point the biasing end towards the affected eye, and whirl it round rapidly In a circle, repeating -Go hack, go back, stye." An old Aaheriuan persisted that he had seen this cure, and that It actually worked. Hiccup waa quite simply cured tyr accusing the patient of theft, but a stiff neck waa to he squeezed between the legs of the tongs before It would yield to treatment. Another curious treatment for toothache, The malady would at once be banished, If a dead man's finger, or a nail from his coffin was put in the mouth. The afflicted person had to go to the graveyurd himself to procure this.

CrafUmen Bonded, While the New England colonlstfc' were very eager for skilled craftsmen to start up their trade In their village, they nevertheless were very cautious and wary, fearful that the stranger might prove shiftless and end In being a burden on the community, unless, of course, he had visible means of support. To protect the colonists, the town pontiffs required that some one go ball for the newcomer. So we read In 1080: "I, John Usher of Boston, merchant, hind me unto Capt. Thomas Brattle, treasurer of the said town, In the sum of forty pounds that William Smith, Joiner, shall not be chargeable to thGytown." Another record of the same year states that Robert Medlecot, merchant,, signed the bond of John Blake, Joiner. Fame of Heidelberg Heidelberg is now the center of German asparagus culture. It boasts of growing the "finest asparagus the world over." A single stalk of asparagus weighting lVfe pounds was cut recently at Waldorf, n tojivn on the Immediate outskirts of Heidelberg. The Waldorfers claim It was the biggest, heaviest and most palatable stalk of asparagus ever.raised by man. Incidentally, Waldorf Is the birthplace of John Jacob Astor, who emigrated to Ameri-ea In 1783 and eventually laid the foundation for the enormous Astor for tune. He donated $f>0.000 to his home town for the construction of the Astor house In Waldorf, a home for aged poor.' _ .... _ ' _ Light on Pa?t Ages Burled forests, the vestiges of past ages, come to light now and' then to reveal new facts to the scientists about climate and vegetation.

It was Just two blocks from tb? furnished room o? Walnut pl?c?, which was the only ftlace In th? city that ah? had to go when ah? was through th? long hours of work In the departulent store. Every night her? routine was the same. Sh? left the store at si* o'clock when It closed. i>ad a cheap supper at a nearby restaurant* then went home to her unlovely little hall-end iuirnlshed room, washed up and went down to the)Horary. She had read all of the periodicals through and through, because ah? always stayed at the library until It closeli and 'thew went, home and to bed. She would have preferred a movie, hut* she could not afford a movie. When sh^ went home she took' a hook with her to read, and read It until she fell- asleep, to kill the loneliness It was dreadful to have left a. big. nappy family In the southern part of the state to come t<j'(hl'cago to live alone and work j'but somebody ' ium! fo leave, and she was the oldest. They hud been tmppy togeth er. but there was little money. Her father was a bookkeeper and she had two younger hrmhers and ^ joupgtT sister. Each week she sent a part of.. her small salary home. In Mldvate she had been considered a belle* with her. taffy-colored hair, small, pretty .face, nice skin and slim figure; but in (Milcugo, In very plain clothes, an I w Itlio*it the money for beauty treatments or the proper^ care of herself, she made little Impression; and, even If she had, Teresa Would not have "run around" with Just anybody; there seen\etl to he a dearth of nice boys In the big city. And then one nighf, at the library. a shv vovtflg PitHl of perhaps thirty, with soft gray eyes ami lovply curly hair, deliberately sat down next 10' her. Teresa was a trifle startled because Ills attitude was rather hmd; yet his eyes were so soft and he was so mild, almost self-effiudng, that she could not take ofTense.xjHe glanced . down at the hook she vvns reading and said; ? "What do you think of It? I rend It myself not long ago." Something In ttie way he said It took nil of thp forwardness out of It; if it had been any other man Teresa would Instantly have put hltn In his nluce? "He knows what loneliness means," she told htm. He leaned forward Intently. "You hibk?' he said, "as though you were lonely., I've seen you In here often. 1 am lonely, too?I have always been lonely." "I suppose,v' she sighed, "life has got to be like that for some." Almost before, she knew it she was telling him abolit the happy family down in Mldvale, and he was telling her about his early life, how be had never had aby family at all and had been brought up by. an aunt When the library closed, Teresa let him walk home with her; and before he left her door she had promised to go to a movie with him the following night To the nverage'feirl In the store the prospect of a movie with a young man would have meant Httle or nothing; but all the next day Teresa was so excited she could hardly contain herself. And thbn there were other movies, other nights; and luncheons with him at noon, and walks on Sunday, and even a dance now and then. TJien one day he disappeared. The vacuum that ensued now was almost more than Teresa could bear. Refore, her lonely life hadn't been so bad; "hut after his companionship the contrast was unbearable. Many nights Teresa cried herself to sleejK And then, one night, as she left the store lie was waiting. But so changed and different. She hardly recognized him He was In a new suit, hat, overcoat, shoes, everything. Presently Teresa found herself In a taxi. "It was cruel," he toid her, "to have gone away without a word ; but I wnj? mad about you. and I was rather sure you cared some. too. I was a fnilure1 had nothing to offer you?so when 1 wont East 1 said nothing, promising -myself I'd never see you again un ! less I had something to offer you. "My new hook Is a huge success; 1 wrote It while we were going togefh er; It's full of cheer and happiness, and people are buying It as they never bought my books hefore. You see. I - wrote that bonk you were reading"'the night we mot?that's why I spoke to you and asked you what you thought of It?giving you a fictitious name." And now, right in the heart of the loop. Teresa was In his masculine brms, drawing her close. His Hps .crushed down upon hers. Her heart hammered. There was no necessity for his asklnjf the age-old question; and no necessity for her answering It l*ove has Its qwd language. Rkitiao Pacifism The late Judge Phrker was on^e talking about Russia.
