Don't l<oae Faith In The I.and
(Dillon Herald)
Men who have lOHt fa\th in land
values will find some encouragement
in the statement of Frank Daniel,
president of the Federal Land Dunk
of Columbia, that the bank has aold
so far this year $1,500,000 worth of
farms and that the sales were fairly
well distributed over the territory
covered by the bank.
Land at present prices is the cheapest
thin# in the world today. 1 he
man who owns an acre of land holds
title to something that extends to the
center of the earth. A hundred dollars
invested in an acre of land buys
more than anything else on the face
of the earth. An acre of land, properly
cultivated, is an inexhaustible
source of wealth. The more you work
it the more valuable it becomes. A
gold mine depreciates in value with
overy ounce of gold taken out of it.
Land values in South Carolina fell
to zero 200 years ago when the indigo
industry collapsed, but men of
that period lived to see those same
lands sell at high prices. The same
thing happened at the close of the
civil waK^und again in 1873, in 1008,
and as lat<V as 1914. When land values
fall they rebound to higher levels.
The present low land values are
opportunities beckoning to young
men of courage, vision, energy and
initiative. The young man who is J
willing to make sacrifices, practice;
thrift and work like a beaver for the ^
next few years has an oportunity to (
lay the foundation for a fortune that,
will maintain him in comfort for the
rest <>1 his life.
The successful men of the period^
following the civil war were the men
who bought landgjit bargain prices,
shed white collars, put on overalls
and mined fortunes out of the soil.;
The opportunities of this period are,
greater than were the opportunities
of that period.
DOBS ADVERTISING PAY? '
Does advertising pay? No, says
the man who sticks bis ad in some
time-table or directory and expects
people to walk around, look it up
and by seeing his name break their
neck to get to his store. Tho man
who wants to got results out of ad"
vertising places his message in the
home paper that goes to the homes j
of hi- peo-^foH'ti ve -oustowoee?and the;
readers appreciate the paper enough
t" pay t?> get it. A leal concrete
example as to whether new-paper ad-:
vertising pays <>r not was shown in
the -:rike of printers in New York
Cit> when the new-paper- came . u*
without any advertisements. During
that J.me luion. ss in the department
-t..., ? fell off :>tt per tent. A wedding
announcement stuck up on a lence or
a billboard might be read by a tewbut
the same announcement in the
local paper would be read by every
sub-criber. Don't put your light
under a bushel, says the Scriptures
that are printed for people to read.

Two Chances To The Last
Things are only half as bud as we
think, and worry only blindfolds the;
eye that might see the good half. I
Listen to a story:
One negro was worrying about tho j
chance of his being drafted for tho j
army. The other consoled him by:
"There's just two things can happen
hoy. You is cither drafted or
you ain't. you - an forget it; if you is.1

p. 1'r.in c or you may stay here.

Well Managed Hens
Pay Says Clemson
Clemson College, June 26,-?Andy
Bauer, of Andrews, made the best
record among the backyard flock record
keepers for May with his 36
White Rock v heps, which laid 24.0
eggs each. G. A. Vincent, of Lynchburg,
led the farm Hock class with
104 White Leghorn hens, which pro[
duccd 23 eggs each. S. I*. Myers, of
Kutawville, made the Ix-st record in
the commercial class with 1107 White
Leghorn hens, which laid 10.2. eggs
each.
The buds in these flocks laid well
because they^were fed a well balanced
feed and were provided with comfortable
houses. The general summary
of 7H (locks for the month
shows that the gross income, which
includes the sale of poultry and eggs,
was 32 cents per hen. I0acf\ hen ate
16 cents worth of food, which leaves
an income above feed cost of 17
cents. According to records of pre[
vious years the average monthly
charge for interest, depreciation, and
ail pther costs is approximately 0.6
cents per hen, which deducted from
tho income above feed cost, leaves a
not labor income of 10.4 cents per
hen for the month.
The Retreat Begins
The "siege of Washington" has not
proved a very profitable investment
<n
for the bonus army. While some of
the 20,000 veterans who were encamped
on the mud fiats of the Potomac
declare their intention to remain
until 10-45 if necessary, part of tho
expeditionary force already is in retreat.
And meanwhile this gesture
of coercior^has evoked a repercussion
of sentiment which is expressed in
counter-attacks against the entire
system of veterans' relief.
The demands which the Merchants
Association of New York have just
sent to Congress and the President
are typical of the growing, public insistence
upon a thoroughgoing revision
of the whole effort of the nation
to compensate those who made sacrifices
in its armed service during the
World War. The association asks
for changes "which will restore relief
to a basis "which is both just to our
veterans and equitable to our country,"
while at the same time saving
$400,000,000 a year."
In comparison -with what is considered
equitable in other countries
the association points out that:
Tho total expenditures by this
country for veterans' relief exceeds
that of Germany, France, Italy, Great
Britain and Canada combined, although
these countries had a. total of34,250,000
men mobilized and 16,500,000
.casualties', as against 4,355,000
mobilized in this country and
0.000 casualties.
And it i- ea-ualties that should be
eoiiajderrd. <hi that bn-is t im I'nited '
States is paying out relief at a rate
of forty-six times a- great as these'
other nations.
I
In times like these then- must be,
a retreat from such extravagance.
And there is good reason to believe
thut in making it the Government can j
actually improve the protection now1
afforded to deserving veterans. For
today more than half tho men receiving
help from the Government are
getting it us compensation for disabilities
not connected with war serried
, ^,4
Undoubtedly there are individual
cases where disabilities actually due
to war service cannot be proved to
be so, and certainly generous allowances
must be made to avoid injustice.
But the system has been so pervert- !
ed that the temptation is to trace any!
disability back to tho patriotic en-1
donvors of 1P17-1S. And politicians!
have built up n belief that armed!

Outlook for Poultry
Good Says Clark
Clemaon College, June 25.?Even
with the low prices now prevailing,
poultry products will buy more feed
than during the same months of the
pre-war years and will purchase 65
per cent as much of all commodities
used by furujers in living and producing
as against about 50 <per cent for
un average of all agricultural commodities
and 98 per cent for cotton,
says O. M. iClark, extension specialist
in farm management, discussing the
present outlook regarding the poultry
industry.
"There were for the country as a
whole," Mr, Clark continues, "about
two per cent fewer hens and laying
pullets in farm flocks on May 1 this
year than on the same date a year
earlier .and about six per cent less
than the five-year average for that
date. Evidently there has also been
a reduction in the number of hens
and pullets in commercial flocks for
the number of eggs received at the
four, principal mankets the first five
months of this year was 21 per cent
less than for the same period last
year and 18 per cent less than the
five-year average for the corresponding
months. The combined storage
holdings on June 1 of cold storage
and frozen eggs were 26 per cent less
than last year and 24 per cent less
than the five-year average for that
date.
"Appare^y the jiumler of chickens
will be no greater next year than
this and possibly not as great. The
number of chicks hatched in farm
flocks this year was about the same
as last year but was 10 per cent less
than the five-year average. About 9
pei- cent fewer chicks were hatched
in commercial hatcheries during the
first four months of the year than
during the corresponding pyriod last
year and 82 per cent less than during
the same months in 1020. South ( arolina,
however, has shown an increase
this year over last.
"The farm price of eggs May 15
was the lowest for that date in the
22 years for which records are available,
and chickens were the lowest
for that date in 16 years. The "lack
of buying power of consumers and
the weak demand for eggs for storage
have been the principal factors
unfavorable to egg and poultry
prices."
MAYBE?
There is something wrong with our
social order. There is something out
of line in a country that permits hunger
and suffering yet has food going
to waste. There is need of adjustment
when hundreds of thousands are
out of. jobs but production greater
than ever. It is a bad case when a
farmer must pay a fixed price for
what he buys, but take what he is
offered for what he has to sell. TJiere
is something wrong with a society
that permits graft to go unchecked,
murder and other crime to go unpuni-hed.
A people have reached a 3-?w
slate when criminals are respected \
and worshipped more than honest
men. It is a shameful situation that
laws are made to protect the rich
and powerful and the poor man has
no protection. It is a disgrace that
negroes and poor whites are hounded
by law enforcement officers while
prominent and wealthy men can do as
they please. Maybe the Russians are
not so foolish after all?-Pageland'
Journal.
OLD BILLS STILL OUT.
The old-fashioned, large-sized bills
which constituted the paper money of
the United States until a few years
ago have practically disappeared
from circulation. Most of us do not
see one of these bills from one
year's end to another.
It comes as a surprise, therefore,
to learn from Representative Cochran
of Mixouri that no less than $528.<)!!(!
