1 Make Your Expenses And Your Income Fit When a family accustomed to rloh? es is told thnt miufortiune has left it no more than $00 a month, its members cry in dismay and indignation; "Why, we simply can't live on such a ridiculous income." But they aro mistaken. They can let thojfr servants go. They can give ) up their care.* They can quit buying luxuries and delicacies. And* when their income is reduced to $30 a month, they still can find some kind of shelter and live on fat pork htul bejyis. They will live. v" it is ridiculous to say that people can't live on this or that. They can live on what they have, be it much or little. Millions of them are proving it. If this is true of people, -isn't it equally true of their government? You are told iby your representatives that the various branches of government - cannot ^operate on a smaller income than they now have. That is jfilly. They haven't tried to operate on loss. They aro. still thinking and upending in terms of 1929. There isn't a single government expense thut can't be reduced. Would any branch of government quit functioning if its income were cut in half? You know it would not. Government now spends lavishly because money and credit.are easy to get. It could operate at one-tenth of the present cost If hard necessity required it. The salary of every public servant could he cut in half. Every deadhead could be'pried from the public pay roll. Every government service, from battleships to rural free delivery, eould be curtailed or stopped. Do you think such ttfastic measures unnecessary? How else can taxpayers be saved? Do you know that one-fourth of all we earn now goes to pay the cost* of government? Do you know that all the money in America isn't half enough to pay the tax bill for one year? You can't cure a patient until you remove the cause of his affliction. You can't restore 'business until you remove the curse that throttles it. Take your choice. You have prosperity again or you can have a continuation of ruinous taxation. But you can't have both. Your car may seem a necessity. But if you must quit running the car or quit buying bread for y,our * family, it is time to swallow your pride and walk.?Bob Quillen in Fountain Inn Tribune. Martin M. M. Kemmerer of Allentown, Pa., put the hause of representatives in Washington on its ears Tuesday afternoon when he was discovered in the gallery of the house with a pistol with which he 'expected to terrorize the members of the body while he delivered an oration. Representative McMillan of South Carolina, was presiding at the time. "I want the floor for, a few minutes," he shouted as he threw a leg over the gallery railing and waved his 38 calibre gun. He surrendered the gun to Representative Mass, Republican, of Minneapolis, Minn. Then he was locked up. The representatives on the floor hustled for safety in cloak rooms. Colonel Edward M. House, confidential adviser to the late President Wilson, and close friend of Presidentelect Roosevelt, assorts that the three Republican administrations having failed to bring about a satisfactory settlement regarding World War foreign debts, Mr. Roosevelt's administration "will liquidate the war debts ?so that world confidence will be restored. world trade freed of its shackles. and the minds and energies of statesmen everywhere turned to new and constructive purposes." Which Way Is Your Livestock Going Realizing three years ago that the quality of livestock in Kershaw county needed to bo developed, the county agent, in cooperation with the county board of agriculture for Kershaw county, mapped out a systematic plan of development. The first year after this plan ?was begun 20odd purebred registered bulls were placed over the county. Each year since then additional fine registered hulls have been placed. These bulls were eUher Guernsey or Jersey or Hereford breed. In making a partial survey recently of the results from placing these bulls in various communities in the county it was found that they have had a very appreciable and valuable influence in developing higher quality and higher producing stock. There are now several hundred better grade young cattle in 'the county than would have been had it not been for these splendid bulls being brought into the county. With purebred bulls a breeder achieves more in two gcenrations than in live generations with a grade bull considering that the grade bull is 3-4 pure and 1-4 grade. By the use of a good purebred bull crossed on native grade cows the results per generation arc as follows: The first cross with a purebred bull gives a cow 1-2 grade and 1-2 purebred. Using a pure bred bull on this cross the result for, the two genertxtions is a cow 1-4 grade and 3-1 purebred. Likewise, the third generation results in a cow 1-8 grade and 7-8 purebred. The fourth generation gives a cow 1-10 grade and 15-101 purebred, and the fifth generation, by using a purebred bull on the. product of the fourth cross gives a cow with 1-32 grade and 01-02 purebred. ' i On the other hand if a breeder used j a grade bull that was only 0-4 purebred and 1-1 grade crossed on native grade cows the product of the first cross would be a cow 0-8. pure and 5-8 grade. Using the same grade bull or one of same breeding as the bull used in the first generation the product of the second cross would be a) cow 9-16 pure and 7-16 grade. Crossing the same kind of grade bull on this cow the product for the?third generation would be a cow 21-32 pure and 11-32 grade. Likewise, the product for the fourth cross would be a cow 45-64 pure and 19-04 grade. The product of the fifth cross would be 93-128 pure and 35-128 grade. It does not pay to use scrub sires. Evefy breeder in th$ eoun-ty who can arrange to do so should replace his scrub and grade sires with good pure- j breds. There is very little excuse for anyone in Kershaw county using grade sires in view of the splendid" supply at prefent of purebred outstanding bulls and boarsC . Any community which does not at present have a satisfactory arrangement for the use of a purebred bull or boar is requested to get in touch with' the county agent who will take immediate steps to have a fine bull or boar placed in such community. Furthermore, it must not be forgotten the free bull and boar service being conducted by the county agent is still in operation and great good is being accomplished from this. Anyone desiring to keep one or more of these bulls or boars is requested to get in touch with the county agent hnd his name will be placed on the list. At present the Guernsey bull is at Mr. C. W. Holley's farm in the Mt. Pisgah community, the Jersey bull is at Mr. M. G. King's farm in Bethunc, the Hampshire boar is at Mr. J. V. Miles' farm below Blaney and the Poland-China boar is at Mr. E. T. Bowen's farm above Blaney. The Jersey hull will soon be transferred to Mr. B. J. Truesdale's in West Wnteree Township near Lugofft the Guernsey hull will go before long to Mr. J. M. Smith. LugotT. We should take advantage of every opportunity to increase the quality and value of out" livestock. ad\i>c> Hen-v U. Green, county agent. Three Injured When lank Bursts. | Rock 11 ii!. Dec. IT. Mrs R. C. Bamette. her 11-year-old son and 1<i year old daughter were pa:n!ui;y -< aided here today when a hot water tank in their home blew up. carrying away part of the roof. The three were taken to a hospital where it was said they would Be in, no serious condition unless complications set in. The mother, her son, David and daughter, i/ouise. were in the kitchen jusK before noon when the explosion occurred. It was believed heat fro^n a stove generated steam in the tank and that frozen pipes prohibited the steam to escape and the boiler blew up, ripping off part of the kitchen roof.

But it was a knowledge secured from the , stage and the screen. Our hill billies I to them were just what they were on (the stage and the screen, and if firsthand inspection revealed otherwise, they had to write back and make t them so appear in order not to dis: appoint their readers, who also know mountain customs via the stage and ' screen. Any number of statements were made about our mountaineers which moved us to jump high and pop our heels with an angry "taint so," hut what riled more than anything else was the manner of painting the Whittier people as simple, unsuspecting hill folks who had no suspicious thoughts, if they thought at all. Even the ultra dignified New York Times was mo\ed to amazement at a people who could mind their own business so well as not to question, in their isolated community, the presence of a stranger so well informed on national,: an<i even international, atfairs. Frank-i 'v. although New Yorkers may hold to the other view, we consider it a trib-, ute when jx-ople mind their own business and keep their noses out of the : affairs of others. Berhaps Col.

The food supply of 78 farm families of l<ee county, "South Carolina, in it*- relation to the incidence of Pellagra has been studied by the Bureau of Home Economics. In April the diets of the families in which one or more members showed symptoms of tho disease in the late spring were found to consist largely of breadstuffs, sweets and fats. These foods may be satisfying to the palate and furnish energy very cheaply, but they are inadequate in proteins, minerals and vitamins. In many cases the amount of calcium and iron were lower than dietary standards for good nutrition recommend, and the diets were poor in vitamins A and C as well as grossly deficient in the pellagra-preventing factor. The families successful in warding off pel lagro used diet more abundant in every respect, and containing a much higher proportion of milk than those used by families in each one or more incurred pellagra in the late spring. The investigators supplied definite quantities of one of six pellagra-preventing food materials to 44 families* whose health history and economic resources indicated that without aid they would be unsuccessful in warding off pellagra in the late spring. The articles of food supplied were dry skim milk, evaporated milk, cured leah pork, wheat germ, canned tomatoes and pure dry yeast. Periodic examinations for pellagra regaled that the incidence and severity of the disease among these aided families was less than they, had experienced in former years ami much less than unaided families of similar resources experienced during the period under observation. Exact knowledge of the food intake of each individual for the entire period of the investigation could not be secured with the supervision; available. Hence it can not be af- j firmed that the supplementary food j materials in the quantities used were j the sole soui'ce of the pellagra-pre- i 'Vehting nor is any claim made thnt the food even of those who did n<?t incur pellagra contained all the pellagra-preventing factor desirable for an individual. However this study | does afford a practical demonstration | that the addition of 2 to 4 ounces of j dry skim milk to one pound of evap-I orated milk, or 1 to 2 ounces of wheat j germ, or 1 1-2 pints of canned tomatoes, or one-half pound of cured lean j pork, or one ounce of pure dry yeast j per person per day to the food supply customarily used in winter and early spring suffices to greatly reduce the incidence of pellagra among families which in times.of stress subsist on a very monotonous and onesided diet containing very little milk, lean meat, fish or-eggs. The diets of the farm families co- J operating in this study would also be , much improved in other respects if a larger proportion of their food con-~ sistes of dairy products, fruits, veg-"j etables, lean meat, fish ami eggs. For J most farm families the most econom- j ical means of providing these import- ! ant foods is through a carefuily- , planned program of home food pro- j duction and conservation. Therefore let every land owner insist that each tenant plan, plant and conserve all that can be produced from the land in addition to having the products from the cow, hog and hen, advises Dr. A. W. Humphries, director of the Kershaw 'County Health Department. The contest oyer the election of a state senator from Horry county will not be decided by the senate next month, as expected, for it was taken into the supreme court this week by Anderson, the contestant, who got 22 votes for the place to 3,132 for H.
