LISTENING IN
..I am slightly <leaf.' The doytor
says that is the reason I can't hear
goAd. Ho intimated that thoro was
something wrong with my ears; he's
: possibly right. It's bad not to be
able to absorb conversation. A pre?
! ty girl whispered something in my
best Oar yestorday. I am still wondering
what she said,
'
, .1 never indulge in talk in u crowd.
I don't even try to do much listen*
ing. It doesn't pay to hear just
about half what folks are saying. So
I just eat right on and think. It
ain't any troublo to bo serious if
noises don't bother you. I always
laugh when the rest of The bunch
laughs: I do that so's they won't
know how deef I am. Most of them
think, I heard their cheap jokes.
<.Y .mm
..Once I was at a big dinner,. Everybody
was talking and I thought it
was my duty AP talk too. ' I found
out in a few minutes that my wires
wero crossed. They wero discussing
the sad and sudden death of a very
dear friend, but I was talking about
a dog light that took place the previous
evening in front of my office.
1 knew something was wrong when
my wife frowned ut me: I thought at
firHt that mebbo I had spilt some
gravy on my vest, but 1 was wrong:
it wus the dog light she wanted
stopped.
. .1 can hear perfectly over the phono
pr while riding in an airplane or on
.the train or in a fussy Ford: that's
fimny, but it's so. I caught myself
drifting deafward about 10 years ago
...?after "wrestling" 4 weeks with
the'llu. I Jbegan to spend my money
on ea.r specialists. (>no fellow cut
about 2 pounds of hones out of my
nose with a cold chisel for $200.00.
Another blew my eustachian (?)
tubes open a dozen times with a
pump for $75.00, but the more I paid*
the less I heard.
..After deciding that deafness could
not be cured (but it might be prevented),
I begun to scout around for
Hearing devices. I first poked some
little rubber contraptions into my
ears. .. .ear-drums, he called , them.
It took 3 plumbers and 1 blacksmiths
to get those darned tilings out of my
auditory organs. And "Hip" went my
$10.00. I tried other similar things
without favorable result and then I
bought a horn. It worked all right
till the milkman poured a quart of
milk into it one morning while I was
trying to hear what he said about
his cows.
. . I don't need very much help to
hear, even If whftt 1 have said might
make you think so. My wife says
I'm fine at hearing skirts ripple and
dollar-bills*rattle and feminine voices.
My stenographer has talked so long
and so loud to me she ain't fit to stay
in the house with her own husband,
she hollers so loud at him....but I
have an electric device that does the
trick for me while at preaching, Sabbath
school, funerals, speakeasies,
prayer-meetings and night clubs, so
don't send me any trumpets right
now.

Extracts From
Agent's Report
" - ? .V/
The following paragraphs ar?r extracts
from the report of Miss Sudie
B. Craig, home demonstration agent
for Kersha^-eounty:
During the past year home derainatration
clubs have increased from
9 with a membership of 2 .to 17 with
a membership of 420?the largest increase
of any county in the state.
328 of the 420 club women had
year-round gardens, and 288 of this
number served balanced meals
throughout the year. 46 of these
women entered the garden contest
and learned to grow and eat at least
3 newvvegetables.
352 of the 420 club members have
done some beautiiication work. 7
churches and 4 schools have been
landscaped. 42 members entered the
exterior boautifieation contest.
The '..club women raised 31,352
chicks during the past year. 102
wanton culled their flocks systematically
and made a profit from their,
poultry.
In furnishing ready money for the
farm woman, poultry led. The 420
club women sold $11,874.32 worth of
poultry.
The renovation of. hats and clothing
meant u real saving in dollars ana
cents. 13 all-day meetings were held
and 265 hats and 132 dresses were
renovated. 302 women were present
at these meetings.
Home management was the major
project for the women's clubs.' As a
result of this project 23 tfew kitchen
cabinets have been made or bought,
27 women have put castors on their
kitchen work tables. This serves 2
purposes, it raises the table to correct
working height and makes the
table easy to move to convenient
places, thus saving many steps. ISO
women have rearranged their kitchens
to make them more convenient.
100 homes have been screened for
| the first time. 2-1 women entered the
kitchen contest. 4 sinks have been
installed, two of these home-made.
96 women have bought some laborsaving
equipment ranging from a cabinet
to a paring knife.
Food production and conservation
has been stressed throughout the
year. 38,250 qtfarts of fruits, 17,700
quarts of vegetables, 10,200 quarts of
jelly, preserves and pickles have been
canned by home demonstration club
women. 128 women canned according
to the budget recommended.
The home demonstration club people
know that all work and no play
makes everybody dull and that ,a few
hours of relaxation in community
play really recreates.
During the past year 29 social
meetings were held with 1,293 people
present. This includes picnics, play
parties, ice cream festivals and community
suppers..
During the past year the agent
gave 248 demonstrations to 4,600
people. 68 other meetings were held
with 4,077 people present.
Message Is Left
By Wild Goose
A wild goose killed on the Saluda
river Friday by Frank Burnett, of
Ninety-lSix, brought a message from
Jack Minor, of Kingsville, Ontario,
Canada, and along with it a Scriptural
quotation, evidently intendod for
the person who captured or killed
the bjrd.
Mr. Burnett found when he picked
up the goose that Minor's name and
address were inscribed on a band on
its leg together with the following
verse: "No good thing will He withhold
from them that walketh uprightly."?Index-Journal,
20th.
?The Methodist churches of the
Upper South Carolina conferences
made a net gain in membership during
the last year'of 1,785, with a net
gain of 2,041 in Sunday school enrollment.
The total Methodist membership
in this portion of the state
is 80,37-t. and the Sunday school enrollment
totals 59.843. about threefourths
of the church membership,
the ratio of Sunday school students
to church membership bring nbwve the
average.
A wild gook:!]ed (in the Saluda
river near Ninety-Six. carried a band
on its leg inscribed with greetings
from Jack Minor, of Kingsiille, On-1
tario. and a verso of Scripture.
Neither the South Carolina, nor the^
Upper South Carolina, conference of
the Methodist church received this
month, at their annual meetings, a
single invitation from churches or
towns for the conference next year.
Each conference appointed a committee
to find a place to meet in 1933.
Formerly there was always a big contest
to get the next meeting of the
conferences, between a number of
places.
Gambling joints at Reno, Nov., a
year ago were in full bloom and going
strong. Now they have all but played
out. Stakes are now so small as to
hardly make it worthwhile to keep
the places open.

On Chain Stores
Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 26.?Th?
American Federation of I*abor coajVenlion
today instructed its officer#
to immediately make plane to unionize
all employes of chajn stores.
The action, the first taken by the
convention in shaping its policies for
the coming year, followed a report by
the committee on organization, headed
by Michael Duffy of Indianapolis.
Sponsored by the Amalgamated
Moat Cutters and Butcher Workers
of North Amorica, and a delegation
from the Hod Carriers and Common
Laborers' Union, tho resolution said
the "laboring classes derive no benefit,"
from what it called "mammoth
organization" of chain stores, and asserted
belief that the current economic
depression was in part the result
of growth of such combinations.
The federation also expressed approval
of proposals thut laundry and
hotel workers be drawn into labor
unions, and urged all its affiliates to
refuse to meet in hotels whose employes
are not members of a union*

SOUTH CAROLINA REPUBLICANS
Thfe reorganized Republicans in
South Carolina, under the leadership
of Mr. Hambright, who wrested the
party orginization from Old Man tae
Tdlbert, made a show that is the
laugh of the country. The joke is on
what The Charleston Post calls "these
former North Carolina lumberjacks,"
who are accused of "trading," predicting
that hereafter, in dickering for
delegates to the National Convention,
they will prefer to deal with an old
and experienced trader like Joe Tolbert,
a gentleman who is now enjoying
his laugh on the Hambrighters.
Under Ilambright, the yield of Hoover
votes appears to have been about
one-and-a-half to the precinct?and
was ever a presidential Candidate
ragged like that in any State? The
i Post is sure Old Joe could have done
better than that. It declares that the
showing by the "new" Republican order
in South Carolina is among the
most complete flops of^the election.
Such a mighty noiso and such a show
of serious purpose and even such an
unusual glimpse of money from obscure
outside sources, gave an appearance
of reality to the movement
of the Hambright committee toward
the oft-attempted organization. T)f a
Republican party, self-sustaining and
almost respectable, in -South * Carolina.
So much so, in fact, thqt more
Democrats got out and voted than
had done that at a general election
within two generations. This last, by
the way, was the best part of the
whole business and it ought to become
a regular event.
And the end of it all is that the
Hambright crowd brought out about
the smallest Republican vote in the
State that has been planked on the
Republican pie-counter in many a long
year, in payment or establishment of
credit for goods received or to be delivered.
In the case of the Ham
\ " 1 -J
jbrighters it was. payment after the
goods had been almost worn out, because
the offices -were distributed in
advance, but there seems to have been
considerable of short-changing by the
purchasers.?Charlotte Observer.
Ruth Bryan Owen To
Vote For Beer Bill
San Wrancisco, Nov. 2^o-Repre>
sentativf Ruth Bryan Owen, of Florida,
daughter of the late William
Jennings Bryan and long a supporter
of prohibition, announced today 'she
would vote for the legalization of
beer at the "lame duck" session of
I congress.
Mrs. Owen, in San Francisco, to
i afldress the institute of the California
Teactyirs1 association, said:
, "I have^np alternative but to vote
; for the legalization of %eer,/The ptofpte
of my district in Florida expressed
j their wishes at the polls and I, as
their representative in congress, must
carry out their mandate. I shall vote
for the restoration of beer if and
when such a bill is presented at the
December session of congress."
Andrew Salter was given a verdict
this week for (MOO damages at Spar
tanburg, because alleged jokers pouted
gasoline on his shoes and set it
afire last September. v The man who
did it admitted the act and'said it
was stove polish, and he had done the
same thing to others previously, just
in fun. The railroad company was
sued and pays the judgment, because
it occurred in its statidn.

of the system is increased until it
finally reaches the point where the
organs of assimilation and elimination
cannot perform their natural functions
Our powers of resistance are lowered.
Disease germs creep into the blood. The
system becomes clogged with impurities.
Various aches and pains appear, and
