Was no longer a boy: I was a
* While moddling around the old
bureau - in the "company" room one
, i peeped into the looking glass
t my?elf for a moment and behold!
f found whiskers in 4 or 5 spots
,bout my *ace- -
I realized that I needed a shave
8nd needed it bad. The little white
fun was thickest on my jaws and
under my chin, and there was a nice
bunch under my nose. It looked
very much like mold on an old stump,
but I made up my mind that thean
whiskers had to be removed.
The first niovo I made toward bartering
my mug was.. . .1 slipped into
,he closet and gojk my daddy's razor
4nd shaving muf Then I scooped
? piece of sweet smelling soap from
(he washstand in the "company"
room, next I embezzled a tin custard
pan from tho stove-room to be used
as a mirror. After assembling all
of this barber equipment, I made a
beeline for a private spot behind the
barn.
I got some water at the well in
an old turkle shell and sat it on a
stump and proceeded to sever that
beard from my countenance. 1 lathered
my upper anatomy severely; I
had soap suds an inch thick from my
waist up. 1 jerked the razor across
an old buggy trace and then the ordeal
began. I did not cut my face
in but two places with the first stroke,
but I didn't mind that.
..You should of heard that old raior
chewing off them hairs. It sounded
something like this: "zeezzezzeeee-e."
1 wiped them off on my shirt
tail, which, as usual was hanging out.
It was very much like scraping the
icing off a freshly iced cake. I broke
3 pretty good sized gaps in the raror.
But if I had not of cut myself
in so many places, I believe I could
have laid them saw-teeth on one of
my brothers... .who really had some
whiskers.
..I think my father whipped me for
10 minutes^ with a dog-wood brush
broom, but when that wore out, he
reached down and got a white-oak
withe from which hamper basket
splits had been taken. It had 3 corners.
It was the cuttingest piece of
timber I ever saw. When he got
thru, mv face was not the only thing
about me that was -bleeding. I did
not hankpr to shave again for 3 years.
In fact, I didn't have anything to
shave, and ain't got much yet.

No Depression Felt
In Lady's Kitchen
The depression hasn't reached the
kitchen of Mrs, Samuel J. Summers,
Sr., of Calhoun county. "Hood times
m bad times," she says, "1 can feed
my family."
She can feed more than her family.
The demand for her fruit cakes
and relish, made of home-grown products,
is ever increasing. These have
jold not only in South Carolina but
in other states.
Mrs, Summers has learned the
tricks that make for successful farm
living since she wus married thirtynine
years ago, fresh from the city
and a college course in expression.
Until she came as a bride to her
husband's home in Calhoun county,
she had never lived a day on a farm.
About the first question she put to
her mother-in-law was, "How long
will it take that little chicken to
grow into a turkey?" She had never
seen a pig on foot and she became
alarmed when she did, thinking so
formidable looking an animal as that
must be a wildcat!
"Today," she declares with a
twinkle in her eye, "no pig alarms
me; I can butcher a hog from his
snout to his tail. I can cure the
meat so that it will stay cured pnd
feed my family in good times or bad.
1 am going into the poultry business
on a commercial scale. I go into my
kitchen and help fight 'depression'
by means of the culinary art I have
acquired since I became a farm wife."
"The farmer's wife eats no idle
bread," she says. In addition to her
household tasks, gardening, pqultryraising,
the upbringing of her large
family, for she has been the mother
of eleven children, the care of an aged
and almost helpless mother-in-law
who for the last two years 'has been
blind, she find# time to sew for her
family and friends, to take her place
in community affairs, and to coach
the young people in her neighborhood
who enter the various contests
in declamation.
Mrs. Summers has trained twentysix
young men and women for contests
in declamation and expression
for county, state and national educational
affairs. Many of these have
carried off first places, three of these
being national. She spent her girlhood
in the city of Baltimore and
took special courses in expression at
Goucher college, and with this talent
she is liberal in her community.
The Summers children have beer
equipped with an education. The
youngest is receiving her diploma
next month from Columbia college.
Mrs. Summers is president of her
home demonstration club, vice-president
of the county clubs, and secretary
of the South Carolina Woman's
Missionary Society of the Methodisl
Church. She has served as a director
of the state council of Farm Women
as superintendent of the Young Peo
pie's Local Missionary society, super
intendent of the Epworth League
chairman of the Red Cross Christmas
seal sale in her community, leader oi
the Orangeburg district Woman*!
Missionary Society, and as teacher o
a class in her Sunday school.
The busiest life is the happies
life, she contends. She has lived t<
see all of her children except tw<
applying the truths she has taugh
them in making homes of their own
and contributing to their eommunitj
interests.
So, for all these things, Mrs. Sum
mers is called a Master Farm Homemaker.
She is one' of twenty choser
for this honor in South Carolina in
the last four years.?-News and Courier.
Application of the Carolina and
North-Western railway to discontinue
its trains No. 1 and No. 2 between

Carolina railroad commission. Officials
of three mills at Ciovei, and z
number of other citizens throughout
Chester and York counties registered
objections to removal of the trains.
The railway company states in its
petition that the cost of operating
the two trams during 1931 exceeded
revenue from their operation by $16,1

Mrs. G. C. Mills, wife of the jailer
at Benncttsville, courageously held
, back a jail full of prisoners with a
shotgun, after they had captured her
husband and his keys and locked him
in a cell. When she heard a commotion
in the jail, she ran to the front
door with the gun and threatened tc
shoot. Then she telephoned the sheriff's
office, and deputies and rural
police rescued the- jailer and locked
up the 19 prisoners again.
Chancellor Bruening told the German
reichstag Wednesday that while
some nations still adhere to a demand
that Germany rescue reparations payments
"it is inconceivable that Germany
ever will be able to resume
those payments."

Noted Lutheran To
Deliver Sermon
Newberry, S. C., May 17.?The
Kev. F. 11, Knubel, who will preach
the baccalaureate scumon at Newberry
College on Sunday, June flth,
is the tlrst and only president of the
largest Lutheran general body in
America. He is a native of New
York City, where he was in business
before educating himself for the ministry.
Dr. Knu'bel graduated from
Gettysburg College as a first honor
student. He studied two years in the
University of Leipzig, Germany, returning
to this country to found t>ho
Church of the Atonement in New
York City, which congregation he
served until 1918. In 1911 his alma
mater conferred upon him the degree
of Doctor of Divinity, in 1919 Thiel
College gave him the degree of
tor of Iaiws, and in 1930 Syracuso
University honored him with the degree
of Doctor of Sacred Theology.
Organized by merger amidst the
clamor of Armistice Week in 1918 in
Now York City as the first reunion
of Protestant bodies which split at
the time of the War Between tho
States, the United Lutheran Church
inherited problems of adjustment of
internal and external relationships
which required concentrated attention
in establishing an orderly and
harmonious whole. Dr. Knubel has
been re-elected president of tho new
body at successive conventions overy
two years, entering upon his seventh
term at the convention in Milwaukee,
Wis., in October, 1930. . Under his
leadership constructive progress has
been made toward welding together
divergent elements and building a
strong, unified church fitted to approach
the problems of modern life in
an efficient way.
Following his re-election in 1930
the magazine, Time, had this to say
of him: "Probably because he is a
personification of thijir. ^mixture of
mysticism 'practicality, the United
Lutherans elected for his seventh
term as president Frederick Hermann
Knubel, 60, of Manhattan. He is a
tall, wiry, active man who does not
require his Van Dyke beard to point
up his distinguished bearing. He
' hates procrastination or inactivity,
' despises.every form of cant."
Poultry Outlook Fair
For Fall And Winter
1 ~ Clemson College, May 14.?The
! supply of hens and pullets for egg
1 production next winter will likely be
no greater than the past winter's
supply and considerably less than
' that of the year before, according to
' O. M. Clark, extension economist.
> "The incubation of salable chicks in
^ commercial hatcheries," he explains,
" "was for the first three months of the
? year approximately the same as for
" the corresponding period of last year.
" The bookings for later delivery were
? about five per cent less than last year.
J I^ast year the hatchings were about
^ a third less than the year before."
5 The receipts of eggs at the prin^
cipal markets up to May 1 were about
' 24 per cent less than for the same
^ period last year. The cold storage
3 holdings of eggs May 1 were approx3
imately one-half those of May 1, 1931.
The supply of frozen eggs was less
than that of last year but greater
' than the five-year average. The
"combined holdings, of frozen and cold
" storage eggs were approximately two"
thirds those of the five-year average.
1 So Mr., Clark thinks that from the
1 standpoint of the supply side of the
' market the outlook for next fall and
winter is more favorable than that of
last year; and although egg prices
are low, the egg-feed price relationship
is somewhat more favorable than
1 a year ago, with no indication of
higher feed prices for this year.
In view of the present low prices
1 of eggs Mr. Clark suggests that it
may be advisable for the farmers
'lwho have surplus eg?* to preserve
' some of them in waterglass or otherwise
to provide a supply for home
' use when production is low or to re'
lease more fresh eggs for market
I when the price is higher.
Albert B. Fall was released from

Fe, on Monday and returned to his
1 home at El Paso, Texas. He served
1 nine months and 19 days of a year
and a day sentence.

Hunting I/Ot?t Relatives
Jewell Mayes, Jefferson City, Missouri,
(stuto agricultural secretary
and newspaper owner,) asks South
Carolina newspapers to co-operate
in his hunting for Ihe local relatives
of his mother, whose ancestors were
James and Mary (Young) Stephenson.
Mr. Mayes is a personal friend
of Commissioner of Agriculture J. W.
Shealy.
James Stephenson was born in
South Carolina, April 14, 1744, (name
of parents or county not known to
Mr. Mayes), but he was the only son
yet had several sisters who married
and brought up families in South
Carolina. James married Miss Mary
Young (1747-1828) in South Carolina,
April 28, 1768, and with his entire
household in 1794 emigrated to Kentucky
by way of Tennessee. He had
one son, John, and several daughters,
all of whom settled in Simpson County,
Ky.
Mr. Mayes anxiously seeks correspondence
from relatives of Mary
Young -Stephenson, and the descendants
of the sisters of James Stephenson,
(who died in South Carolina in
1821 while visiting his sisters), and
will . also welcome any information
concerning the. coming of the Scotch
Stephensons into the Palmetto State
prior to 1744.

And M the
weevil WORRY
IOOKS like a mighty bad weevil year, Wc had
Jl two bone-dry summers in 1930 and 1931 and
arc about due for a,wet one now. Owing to mild
weather, weevils had a picnic all winter and they
are just waiting for the squares to form.
It is going to be a race between the cotton
and the weevils. Cotton sure is going t"? have a
job keeping ahead of the weevils without a little
help from you. Not much, if any, fertilizer under
it, the crop is almost sure to be slow and sickly
by June. Just theAvay the weevils want it.
What they do to your ttop depends largely
on what you dd for your crop! ^
Sidc-dreso! Chilean Nitrate, 100 pounds per
acre (200 pounds would be much better) will set
the crop early, ahead of the weevil. Then you ai t^
reasonably safe. But be sure you get Chilton.
Nothing takes its place for side-dressing cotton.
Your dealer has it or can get it on a moment's
notice. See him now!
