Then high water covered the dead trees for some time. During the drouth of this summer, the heat boiled the tannin out of the trees and it drained into the river.

Greenville has proved that 42 needy families can live on farms and become independent within a year after moving from mill villages where work stopped. It was an experiment of the Red Cross, begun late in the spring of 1031, and the families were I supported until the first crop could be raised. Some had never been on a farm before. Their work was closely supervised. They paid $25 a year rent from cotton grown and bought their own fertiliser, but special stress was placed on food crops for animals and humans, including large gardens. All worked hard and long hours and took pride in their labors. The experiment started with 10 families and $5,000 from the federal department of labor, and this spring 32 more families were added to the colony. This year each farm ?$t $100 of the federal crop loan and will repay it this fall. Now, all 42 have made arrangements for themselves for next year, and some contemplate buying the land they have been farming.

A Good Name Is still more to be desired than great riches f Prices of good goods are as low today as they can possibly be and yield the maker and seller a legitimate profit. Try your own store before you turn to the "speak easy" .-hops that sell cheap shoddy merchandise and have nothing to offer but price. If you can stili buy the best by all means do so and i: you can't, buy the best you can afford. Vou will not only benefit y^J^elves but you will perform a great service to the whole country by patronizing stores who always offer merchandise of standard quality and are interested in the service it gives you.
