.. Her? is the prayer of the average
politician: "Oh, Lx>rd, please help the
government to cut everybody's salary
except mjne and my wife's and my
son*' and their wives', us 64 and no
more,"
. . Home of our congressmen can't
see any further than t^eir own front
door. They don't realize that it is
necessary to acknowledge that we
have been and are possibly yet facing
an emergency, and that more is at
stake than Vieir office.

..Our railroad commission directed
the telephone company to cut its
rates about 60 days ago. So far the
subscribers have saved $0.00, and if
they continue these new low rates,
the public will save $0.00 during the
next 12 month*. Since the war the
government-controlled interests have
reduced their rates and assessments
in the sum of $0.00, thus permitting
a total, saving of $0.00, for which we
are not unmindful.
..This good old country of ours ha*
swallowed millions of misrepresentations
from the higher-ups. New
York City has l>eeri a veritable nest
of bunk and bunco-steerers. The big
boys have had peddiers galore dishing
out their worthless stocks and
bonds .... w hich i> only another polite

Plane Crashes House
Twelve People Killed
Oak It* ml. Calif., Mar. 26.?^-KainHAornia,
causing poor visibility, wer#
blamed today by Varney Speed linea
official* for the craah of their transport
which took 12 lives, injured two
persons and reduced two dwelling8 to
smoking ruins.
A triple investigation of the craoh
was undertaken by federal, state and
county authorities.
The plane, piloted by Noel Kvane,
former war flier, and carrying aa passengers
Herman il^Brown, Hollywood
builder, and Miaa Lavele Miller, of
Los Angeles, hurtled out of a rainstorm
near here la?t nig'ht, carried
away the tops of two house# and
crashed into the dwelling of Mr. and
Mre. Joseph Arise, with an explosion
that was heard for miles.
The AriSa home ami an adjoining
dwelling, sprayed with burning gasoline,
roared into (lames, trapping Mrs.
Arisa, her four children, and four
friends, all of whom died.
Joseph Arisa, the father, plunged
through a window, *o critically burned
he was expected to die.
Victims, besides occupants of the
plane, were Mrs. Arisa, her children,
Anna, 10; Joseph, Jr., six; Michael,
four; and Juanita, one year, six
months; and four neighbors, T^py
Serrano, 20; Joseph Serrano, 18;^pis
brother, George Jeannott, 18; and
Flo res Fuentes, 17.
In the home of Joseph Jordan, nexti
door to the Arisas, a dinner party,
was breaking up as the ship plunged j
from the sky. Mrs. Tony Toohero, a;
visitor, was struck on the head by j
a falling timber as the house collapsed.
Flames and pieces of ftiselage shot:
in all directions. The motor of the j
plane ripped loose and tore a hole j
through a tree in a neighboring orchard.
Crowds gathered as skyrock-:
eting flames'illuminated the sparsely!
settled district, plunged into the dark-1
ness when the plane caromed through
electric transmission wires as it fell.
All available fire fighting nppara-j
tus was sent from Shn I^eandro and
Hay ward, but the firemen were helpless.
There were no fire hydrants in j
the unincorporated district and chemicals
proved almost unavailing.
The single motored, low wing mon-;
oplane was enroute from I?s Angeles
to the San Francisco Bay airdrome at
Alameda.
Evans, the pilot, with hundreds of
hours of army flying to his credit,
recently moved here from Los Angeles.
He formerly was chief pilot
of the Old West Const air mail line,
operating between San Francisco and
Seattle. His widow survive?.
Miss Miller, formerly a music writer
in motion picture studios in Hollywood,
had been unemployed recently.
Demand Heavy
For Crotalaria
During the past several days farmers
from all over Kershaw county
have placed with the county agent
orders for varying amounts of, crotalaria
seed. In fact these orders
have run from 6 pounds to 3,000
pounds each.
Everyone who will probably need
some of these seed and who have not
yet placed orders for same are requested
to notify the county agent
as soon aa possible stating the approximate
number of pounds they will
want.
It is hoped that Kershaw county
may take the lend in this valuable
legume crop and if this can be accomplished
making Kershaw county the
leading crotalaria county in 'South
Carolina,' our farmers should make
some profit from selling crotalaria
seed to other counties in this state.
However, if Kershaw county is to become
the leading crotalaria county of
South Carolina, it is necessary that
wo establish ourselves well in the
| business this year. This is an opporj
tunity for us to cash-in in another
1 side-line crop, states Henry D. Green,
j county agent.
iMore Yellow Corn
;! Should Be Planted
I tine of the be -1 things that farmers
J of Kcivhaw county <-..n do is plant
at lea.-t a pa:t of their corn in yellow
'.com. It is r.ow a well-established
fact that yellow corn has certain adj
vantages over white corn. It contains
i . ,ta:r.:n> that wnite corn does not
{cntain. It is also stronger for feedling
value for livestock. In fact it
' {<}.not require as much yellow corn
to feed a mule as white corn, also
livestock fed on yellow corn will npt
hau' blind staggers ns is often the
ca-e when uorkstock is fed <ypslus?Vef

If y^_ tia \e not been planting in
yellow corn. I recommend that you
plant at least a fourth of your corn

Green, county agent.
Tryon All Set For
Annual Horse Show
Work on the many details incident
to "putting on" Tryon'* eighth annual
horse show, April lldth, is well under
way and present indications are that
the coming show will surpass any of
the previous shows both in entries
and attendance.
A meeting of the chairmen of the
various committees was held in the
Fox and Hounds room at Fine Greet
Inn Tuesday evening. All reports
were most encouraging. Twenty-ftve
parking spaces and fourteen boxes
have been sold to date. The out-oftown
box holders include: Mrs. Richard
W. Austin, Mr. and Mrs. U. G.
Speed, Miss Zella Williams, all of
Biltmore 'Forest.
Among the exhibitors are: Sergeant
Daniels of the machine gun troop of
the 109th cavalry, IStatesville, N. C.;
Capt. Lyda, Troop "K," Asheville;
Mr. M. R. Bissell, Jr., Grand Rapids,
Mich.; ?J. H. Adams, Greensboro, N.
C.; Bon Gilford, Greenville, S. C.;
R. H. Johnston, Charlotte, N. C.;
A. D. L. Barksdale, Charlotte; Harry
C. Stuart, Elk Garden, Va.
The Hon. Dirk Van Ingen, New
York, will act as judge for the hunters
and jumpers. The Hon. Claude
L. Pemberton, Elizabeth, Ky>> will
judge the gaited classes. The Hon.
Samuel L. Wooldridge, Lexington,
Ky., will judge the hound show.
The committees are hard at work
on the various activities connected
with the show. The grounds committee
is busily engaged in getting
the show ring in good condition. New j
grass has been sown and a beautiful j
solid green turf in assured. The;
hedges and boxes are also being
trimmed and the boxes repaired.
The large number of northerners in
Tryon at this time, many of whom
will have entries In the ring, are)
lending their interest and support to j'
the show and other Riding and Hunt
Club activities. The club's regular;
season program of drag hunts, .trail
rides and picnic rides is well under
way with several events taking place
each week.
Publicity concerning the show is
being carried on in seventeen north- ,
ern and southern papers weekly.
Barn Full of Corn
? Factor In Farming
It is . very important that farmers
of Kershaw county become self-sustaining
as far as practical and as soon
as possible. One of the main factors
in making a farmer independent and
self-supporting is a barn full of corn.
I strongly recommend and urge that
farmers of Kershaw county plant a
few extra acres this year in addition
to what they had intended to plant
and that this corn be adequately fertilized
and worked. Concerning farmers
on light or sandy type soil I
recommend a liberal amount of potash
for their corn. Many of our farmers
side-dress corn too late. Corn
should be side-dressed when about
knee high. It has been shown by experiments
that side-dressing as applied
aft<jj the corn is knee high, most
of the value of the side-dressing goes into
the production of t&sselling and
not in the production of corn on the
cob.
Farmers who are planting corn this
year after Austrian peas have been
turned under will need very little
ammonia.
For those farmers who desire to
build up a special plot of ground for
a high yield of com, I recommend
they plant this plot to Crotalaria this
spring, turning this under planting
Austrian peas this fall. These will
be turned under in the spring followed
by corn and this com crop should
be very successful.
If every farmer in Kershaw county
will plant three extra acres of com
I per plow, he will receive very bene>
ficial results this winter, advises
i Henry I). Green, county agent,

Depression House
Is Carried Away
i , 1 ?
Abbeville, Apr. .1.?The depression'
is responsible for many stories which
have gone their rounds over the town
ami country. A prominent citizen
teiN this one. Several years ago he.
bought a house and. lot of several
acres, near t'he city and when caught(
in th?- banks and depression he re.
solved to let it stand until bettertimes.
The feeling of renewed confid*
nee which is said to be on hand
made him co out to look at his prop-;
erty only to find that the house had
been taken down and literally moved
away. Only the chimneys were left
standing. Traces have revealed the
fact that the house has been rebuilt.
The owner says that it is the first'
, time he has ever had'6" stY'rwem house
stolen from him. The oldest inhab-S
itant is asked to testify and it is be-;

Famous Show Rony
Gets Life on Farm
Cuba, one of the most noted ponies
in the world, with a record 0 longer
than any in his class, has retiree!
from active work and will spend the
rest of IjSfc days in green pastures
and comfortable quarters on the place
of Mr. T. C. Dunlap in the perfect
climate of York county.
Cuba is a small pony and is 24
years old. He was bom at Ames,
Iowa, a great center of all kinds of
agricultural activities, and even m his
youth he took blue ribbons at horse
shows. At two years of age, he jofned
the show business, and for the last
22 years Cuba has been a trouper
known all over the United States and
part of Canada.
In later life he has been with'the
Barnett Brothers show which has
winter quarters here in Yorkville. He
was originally trained by W. Bums,
of Terne Haute, Indiana, the father of
Tommy Bums, the animal trainer
with the Barnett Brothers show, and
he soon became famous for his intelligence.
He was the first pony to answer
yes and no to questions by nods
or shakes of his head, and the first
one to pick out colors called for by
persons in the audience. In his early
youth, he was good at arithmetic a^d
nosed the numbers which were the
correct answers to problems ghgjfl
Cuba worked long and well until?
the close of the season last yar,?
which ended here late last fall, really?
in the early winter. He is as keen**
ever to go when his cue is blared rata
by the circus band, and Tommy?
Burns says he really did his bdta
work.es an artist last season.
So, he has earned retirement, audi
there is no place for retirement more
pleasant than where Cuba is goinf,
on the place of Mr. Dunlap, in Yoitfl
county, South Carolina.?Yorkvilk?
