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>

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.

WILD GEESE
Southward the gray geese
Honk their happy way,?great ariel
Spearheads against the fading light.
In wonder havo I watched thepi bend
And sway; mount clinging mists, and
flush
O'er lonely tarns, then; disappear,]
down
Long blue aisles of evening in their
Flight. ?
Ah, wild, prophetic birds!
My heart was saddened as I saw you
go.
1 note a touch of wittier on the hills;
Detect a minor murmur through the,
trees. %
The red leaves whirl and fall;?<upon
My face I feel a flake of snow.
Yet, through the long, sad
Season of the year when winter voices
petulantly
Cry, then I remember great wings
flashing
By.?hear the * faint honk of wild
geese
In the sky.

They Give Us a Bain
(Cleveland Star)
If his wife is satisfied with Col.
I Raymond Robins' amnesia story then
j as The Greensboro News says, it is
i perfectly all right with us. But. if
I you'll pardon the expression, we're
getting a bit fed up?griped, in fact?
! at the stuff the metropolitan papers
are writing about our North Carolina
! mountains and our "simple" mountain
I people.
j Seemingly every staff writer sent
j down to cover the finding of the
I prominent prohibition leader came
j equipped with a thorough knowledge
j of the habits, language, etc., of the
j Appalachian mountaineers. 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. Rob- ;
ins was aware of that mountain trait, f
But when New York romps to snick- '
ering behind a hand at a mountain
village whickgrtkies not recognize a
national chaFnM'er and help place him j
in his proper setting we cannot help 1
laughing. The big city hicks! Have j
they ever located their judge?what
was his name??who has been miss-j
ing these several years? Who killed
Rothstoin, Ix-gs Diamond, etc., and so J
on? Hots* many New Yorkers foil as;
unadulterated sucker? into t h e j
schemes of the late Ivar Kreuger?
Instead of sneering the big city ex- 1
perts should come down and let a 14- '
year-old Whittier boy show'em how:
to tree an opossum.

Pellagra Avoided
By Proper Diet
' ..
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.
