' Any little soreness in the throat grows rapidly worse if neglected. Crush sonic tablets of genuine Bayer Aspirin in some water, and gargle at once. This gives you instant relief, and reduces danger from infection. One good gargle and you can feel safe. If all soreness is not gone promptly, repeat. There's usually a cold with the sore throat, so before gargling take two tablets to throw ofT your cold, headache, stillness or other cold .symptoms. Bayer Aspirin relieves neuralgia, neuritis, too. You may use it freely, it does not hurt the heart. NO TAGLETS ARE GENUINE BAYER ASPIRIM WITHOUT THIS CROSS Club Boys to Get Number Pine Trees Arrangements have just been completed by County Agent Green with the State Forestry Commission j whereby 17{>,000 pine tree seedlings will be made avuilable for 4-JI club boys of Kershaw county. This is considered an extraordinary opportunity for club members of Kershaw county and it is urged that all who are interested take immediate action in securing 1,Q00 trees. Through the work we have been doing for the past three and a half j years, Kershaw county has now be-1 come the leading forestry county of South Carolina. It was largely (through this early fprestry work that' I we were able to secure a full time' I county forester and since the beginning of forestry work under direction of Mr. Nuite, our county forester, our county has made yory ra'pid gains in forestry development. Cast year 1 11 club boys of Kershaw county planted more forest tree seedlings than any county in the entire United Stales. It is Imped to duplicate this in 19311. For- a boy or girl to receive 1,000 of these pine trees ho or she is requested to file with the county agent j an application form, which forms are now being distributed to the superintendents of the schools and others over the county. These applications will call for the following information and in case a boy or girl desires 1,000 of these trees and does not have an application blank, just write a letter to the county agent answering the questions contained in the blank: "Application for Pine Tree Seedj lings. Date, name, age, address, 1 RF1) No., Box No., white or colored, j type of soil, dry or moist, upland or j low, is father landowner or tenant, how many acres in woods or timber on farm you own or .live on, how many acres in entire farm, school, school district, I agree to set these trees out with care. I will make reports to my county agent when requested, showing the growth, progress, survival and condition of these i trees. I desire to cooperate with my county forester and county agent in keeping down forest fires which destroy little trees and valuable woods litter and drive away game." Signod." These trees may be secured by either white or colored children be-1 tween the ages of 9 and 25. Those who desire these trees and who do j not belong to the 4-H club whether , boy or girl, white or colored, "may I sign an application as outlined above receiving these trees and becoming a member of the 4-H club on the forestry list. There are now over 400 4-H club boys in Kershaw county and the list is steadily growing. These trees will be delivered to the following schools by the county agent without charge provided such schools have requested 10,000 or more trees: Blaney, Pine Grove, Charlotte Thompson, Mt. Pisgah, Hethune, Kershaw, Liberty Hill, Baron DeKalb, St. Matthews Training School. It is requested, however, that as many applicants as possible secure the trees from the nursery near Camden after having given the county agent their application and having had same approved. I Let's continue to make Kershaw county the lending forestry county in the state. It will mean wealth and independence and happiness and success to our children a few years from now. Respectfully, Henry D. Green, County Agent. The big four cigarette manufacurers of the country on Saturday announced a reduction in price of their cigarettes to $5.50 per 1,000.

KKKPING THB MIND IN TODAY, The rhiloMopher of Fountain Inn Give* um all 8ome Good Advice , Robert Quillen in his little paper, The Fountain Inn Tribune, does his bit to increase the sum of human happiness, by calling' attention to two kinds of workers?those who work in the present tense, and those who burden themselves with the future. ' A man of the first type, whether he is building a house or plowing a field, works placidly and efficiently* with his thoughts fixed on the things hy is doing/ at the moment. The other kind of man may be sawing a board or turning a furrow, but j Jiis thoughts race ahead to the framing, lathing, roofing an<|l plastering of the house, or the huriSiiying, sowing and harvesting of his field, so that the work yet tq be done dismays, harrasses and tries him much more than the thing he is doing. You can recognize thtT two types easily, for one seems to make every sure and effortless motion count tor something, while the other lathers himself in a frenzy of haste that ex- j hausts energy out of all proportion to the work accomplished. One makes progress easily by the simple process of doing one thing at a time, while the other makes every1 simple task an exhausting labor by1 adding to it the work that will follow next day or next week. Watching the second man as he1 squanders nervous energy under the whip of his imagination, you say to j yourself: "Why doesn't the poor simpleton calm himself and do his' work one detail at a time? If he'll j quit looking ahead and quietly attend, to the job in hand, he'll do much bet-1 ter work and get it done with less cf-t fort?" That's what you would say of him; ' and yet, if you are no better philo-1 sopher than the ordinary man, you i live your life much as he does his work. You aren't content,to live the present hour of the present day as best you can and let the future take care J of itself. j You must live in a kind of daze, ! only half conscious of the present, I because your mind is racing ahead to busy itself with tomorrow. - John H. Mills, 36, charged with the murder of Mrs. Lucinda Mills, 76, in a cabin at Tomahawk, Ky., as a part of an alleged religious cult's ceremonies, has been bound over to court and is being held chained in a cell. Better Gardens Over The County One of the most practical ways for our farmers to reduce the coat of living and to yet on a self-sustaining basis is to study and plan their garden work so that they will have an abundance of vegetables throughout the entire year. For a long time this has been thought impractical by many farmers but through the continued efforts of the extension- horticulturist a definite program of garden development has resulted in a satisfactory twelve-months garden. In launching this concerted campaign for bigger, more and1 better gardens with u greater variety of vegetables your county agent very much needs . and sincerely requests that every public spirtied person in the county do something definite towards encouraging neighbpre t5 have better all-year gardens. If several hundred people will take this upon themselves as a patriotic service within a few weeks we can help put our county on a much safer basis as far as food production is concerned. Those who read this article are urgently requested to do at loast one definite thing towards better gardening in thfeir community. For instance, take one hour and study your copy of Vcgotablo Gardening Bulletin No. 72, or write a card to your farm agent or in case you are woll acquainted with gardening information talk it over with your neighbor, but please do something definite, for it is the definite thing that counts. Some of the vegetables which may be planted at this time or a few weeks later are as follows: Jerusalem artichoke, all kinds of- beans, carrots, corn, cucumber, kale, kohlrabi, onions, onion sets, parsnips, garden peas, Irish potatoes, radish, salsify (this is very important), spinach and turnips. Some of tho vegetables which should be sown in the hot beds or transplanted: about this time of year are as follows: Globe artichoke, asparagus seed and asparagus plants, beets, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, Chinese cabbage, eggplant, lettuce, parsley, pepper and tomatoes. In planting garden seeds be particular about using old seed left over from last year. Carrot seed, onion seed, parsley seed and parsnip seed are of unreliable germination after the first year. While beet seed, okra seed and lettuce seed are usually safe during the fourth year.
