Letter to Farmers of Kershaw County Although imwiy people talk arid think almost exclusively in terms of the depression and its hardship.-*, still there are many, many farm people throughout Kershaw county who have faced the sptnation squarely arr<l who are overcoming the handicap step by step. Those who realized in the outset that there was no turning1 back and who went to work to tight the battle through determined to win, first of oil mapped out a definite program of selfrsupport or live-at-home program.; In order that those who have moro or l(??s lost heart wo wish to urge those farmers who do have something to show ?t the County Fair to be sure to bring everything they can jto the fair, remembering that all entries; must be in .place by 10 p. m., October j 26. I Of course we realize that the corn ; crop is cut short .all over~the county but still there are many farmers who made fairly good com crops where ! they had turned under legume cover; crops or used stable manure. These i farmers can furnish a good supply ofi corn. There are still many fine hogs t in the county, lots of chickens, quantities of cured meats, good cows and calves, and a number of extra good dairy bulls. I wish that every farm family in the county would study carefully the county fair catalog and bring as ma-j nv of tiie items as possible. I)o not hesitate to brim: something just because you feel that it might not win a prize because the true spirit of the fair is not merely to win prizes but j to show what we have and to see; what our neighbors have, learning ( from one another thereby. If every j farm family in Kershaw county r would bring one or more exhibits we would probably have the best county fair in the state this year. To The 4-H boys jl In addition to the premiums offer-ij < <1 in the fair catalog which you will}1 compete for this year in the open j ( < !a?s we have arranged to give you ] many extra prizes. j< It will bo absolutely necessary that . you hc to it that the man who re - ; ccivt- your exhibits at the County j fa r marks on the bag that goes on' your exhibit nrul also on his'record book that your exhibit is 4-H, otherwise, the cbailees are you will not win any of the extra prizes. Boys, this fair belongs to you as much as to anyone else and it is our? duty to support it. Do not bring exhibits merely for the sake of winning a prize but also for the purpose of helping your fair and your county. I want to ask you boys to do everything you possibly can to make the fair a success and of course the main thing to make it a success is for you to bring exhibits?as many as you can?and of every kind. Remember that you boys are competing this year against matured farmers of the county, i believe that you will ?how up well and win many of the prizes, but 'in order to do so you will have to do your very best. I am especially anxious that we get every 4-H calf, cow, hog, pig, and chicken to the fair this year. Also it is important that we have a good showing with corn and other grains as well ns vegetables. Try to bring as many of the things that are listed in the catalog, says Henry I). Green, the corresponding secretary. Senator James F.* Byrnes has accepted an invitation to join Governor Roosevelt at Louisville and accompany the candidate for president on his tour of the South, and has been asked to make a speech for Roosevelt at j Los Angeles on the Saturday night before the election. How One Woman Lost 10 Lbs in a Week Mrs. Betty Lucdeke, of Dayton, writes: "I am using Kruschen to reduce weight?I lost 10 pounds in ftne week and cannot say too much to recommend it." To take off fat easily, SAFRLY and HARMLESSLY?take one half teaspoonful of Kruschen in a glass of hot water in the morning before breakfast, go lighter on fatty meats, potatoes, butter, cream and pastries? it is the safe way to lose unsightly fat and one bottle that lasts 4 weeks costs but a tritle. Get it at DeKalb Pharmacy or any drug store in America. If this first bottle fails to convince you this is the safest way to lose fat?money back.

MY FORTY-FOURTH CIRCUS . .A circus came to town a few days ago and I went to sec it, as I had to take the baby. I missed a circus that came to town in 1899, and never got over it. On account of the depression. I had a hard time getting a seat, the show was so crowded. ..The general admission to the sjhow was the same as advertised, viz: 50 cents but when I bought my ticket, the man charged me 5 cents tax for Uncle Sam and 5 cents tax for my home state. The unreserved seats were so located that peeping through a hole in the tent had them beat all hollow, so I had to pay 50 cents more for a chair with a back to it....in sight of the ring. ..My chair had a splinter in it. hut I got it picked out of me after I got home. I don't enjoy splinters except for kindling fires. The popcorn man charged 10 cents for his 5-cent popcorn, but he sold his nickle Cracker Jack for only a dime. I bought an ice-cream cone for 10 cents that had elephant hair and dust all over it. It would have taken 500 cones to make a square meal for a kitten. . .They W"u!<trrLr?rmrt the -?h??w 'till they sold out all of their candy and stuff, but just before I dozed < tT to .-dc:cp for the night. it broke ' se.

We spent a . \\< ad. My wife asked me if we had a nice crowd at the circus, and I told her we had a big one. I took s,,me of her folks along. The clowns pulled some good Pricks: I saw most of them 20 years ago, meaning the tricks. The show girls were all real pretty at a distance, and so were the 2 trained donkeys. And then came the concert. And such a concern! ? li*./ ..Now, folks, that concert was won- 1 derful. They had 2 men with ropes ' and 2 or 3 horses, and the wrestling 1 match was something like a couple | of 3-day-old puppies wallowing over t one another. That was all they l "concerted." This was the first dime i anybody had beat me out of for near- ( Double Killing In Orangeburg Orangeburg, Oct, 14.--'Two lives were anuffed out here today by a policeman's pistol in what authorities described as the final chapter in a story of domestic relations.
