Women Are Urged To Stress Iodine Content South Carolina should take every step possible to profit from the wide publicity received during recent years as a result of .the, very high iodine content of its fruits, vegetables, milk, butter, cheese, eggs and other products, declares J. Roy Jones, commissioner of^agriculture, Commerce and indtbsCrW, following a visit to states in the middle w$st where he discussed this subject. At the last session of the legislature the work of the Natural Resources Commission was transferred to the department of agriculture. "It is the desire of this department to keep this very important matter before the people of Spu^h Carolina and of the whole country so far as our facilities will permit," says Commissioner Jones. In this connection Mr. Jones points out that the .hundreds of thousands of women in South Carolina could be of great value to the agricultural interest of the state. "The w&men," he says, "are the buyers for the home table. If they demand South Caro[ lina products the merchants will supply them and that would mean much to the farmers of our state." 1 "A great deal of valuable information and scientific data was gathered i by "the Natural Resources Commission I during its existence," declares the head of the agricultural department, "and it is our aim to make the most of this material." The work of the department of agriculture has been so heavy since he became commissioner last March that it has not been possible to carry out his plans for the Natural Resources division with his limited force, says Mr. Jones. "However," he states, "I am mapping out a campaign which , will push to the front the natural advantages possessed by the productsof South Carolina. And in this connection I wish to enlist the active cooperation pf every woman in the state and of all who are interested in the further and continued development of our resources." The work of the Natural Resources Commission which was carried on for several years by direct appropriation of the legislature was placed in the department of agriculture last winter and a small appropriation was included in the department's budget for a director of this division. It is understood to be the plan of Mr. Jones to push forward this work with his regular staff assisting this director.. A great deal of material gathered ] from various sections of the state during the past few years and placed [ in pamphlet form iB mow in the office j of the agricultural commissioner. Be plans to use this to the best advantage and to urge the people of South Carolina to join in carrying on the campaign which he believes will result in increasing the consumption of vegetables, fruits, canned goods and all manufactured or packaged goods in the state. The Tabernacle church, _f or th6 negroes, at Bennettsville, was burned early Sunday morning by a firebug. Previously three churches had been burned during the last year, besides the colored school house. No arrests have been made. ,<? Miss Cora Lee Faile, 18 years old, killed herself instantly with a 32caliber bullet at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lee Faile, in Flat Creek township, in Lancaster county. She had been in good health and was cheerful'when last seen. A Greenville, county man telephoned the sheriff's, office that he was drunk and asked to be taken to jail to sober up. The officers accommodated him. The man said that he had been drunk for three weeks, had spent $500, and was unable to sober up unless placed in jail where he could not get ftiore liquor. Clarence Floyd, a negro 20 years old, was convicted at Lexington of criminally assaulting a young Columbia white woman and sentenced to the electric chair, the execution to be October 20. The jury was out two hours. The negrd held up the girl and her escort on a road, while they were in an automobile, robbed the man and assaulted the girl, the night of August 5. The defense was an alibi which did not hold water. Sunday night reports sent out from New Bern, N. C., say that the number of known dead at that time as the result of the storm sweeping that area on Friday night and Saturday, had reached ten, the fatalities being in Carteret and Tyrrell counties. Other persons are known to be missing from their homes, but as to whether or not they too are lost could not be stated. President Roosevelt and his family as well as many other notables and numerous attaches of?the - White House, past and present, attended the funeral of Irwin H. ("Ike") Hoover, for 43 years chief tisher at the White House, who died suddenly Friday, at the little chapel of Glenwood cemetery,, near Washington on Saturday. Mr. Roosevelt and his cabinet acted as honorary pall bearers, ' * . *, Save Your Eyes (By Dr. Walter F. Kimball, Missouri State Dotard of Optometry) Eye Fatigoe Retards Education ' Four out of ten of the school cWK dren in America are mentally absent a considerable .part of each day, though physically present, because <of uncorrected visual fatigue, according to Dr. A. M. Skeffington, Director <of the Graduate Clinic Foundation of Optometry. The research of the Graduate CHnic Foundation of Optometry has shown that the eye fatigue, occasioned by the terrific de- > mands of our modern school system, hinder the power of absorption by the mind t&^fuch a degree that our en. are school structure Is being held back. "Send the whole child to Bchool" is far mpre than a sentiment. Optometry is interested today in being sure the child is capable of being mentally present the entire school day. Parent/ must come to understand that because the child can yead socalled "normaMetters" across n room, does not prove the existence of efficient vision. The visual fatigue of school life manifests itself in many and varied ways?the child who stumbles in reading, who places in wrong words in a sentence, who shifts and y/riggles under the attempt to concentrate and read. The so-called "eye-sight" test in school is of small value to the school j child who is not near-sighted or half blind. It may be dangerously deceptive if the parent and teacher understand that because -"normal letters" can be read across the room, the cjiild has perfect eyes. Eye trouble in school is not across the room. It is at the desk. Observation by the teacher and cooperation by the parent are the sole hope of the youngster suffering from inefficient vision. The child who writes up hill and down dale is a victim. The sleepy child, the rebel against all school work, the stumbling^ hesitant reader, the student who shines at mental exercises, but stumbles miserably when I concentration on the page is required ?all these, and many more, betiay inefficient vision. ^ | The poorer to absorb mentaflr. through the eye is definitely ham- I pored if the visual pathways are fatigued. We are living in changed, man-made environments. Eyes must be adapted to them. Optometry recognizes that ita entire generation faces the necessity of rehabilitating the eyes of its children, that they may function.efficiently in thia new world of near-point concen tration. Parents must face the fact the "whole child" is not at_ school if, through uncorrected eyes, the brain is being hampered in its efforts to absorb. BRING ON ANOTHER CAMPAIGN One Editor Want* to Hear Again the Promises to Lower Big Taxes The BLandinsville, 111., Gazette, in the Sucker state, says it can hardly wait 'til the next political campaign when we get taxes cut down again. Every campaign for many years we have gone to rallies to hear the candidates, whose hearts were wrung iby the sufferings of taxpayers, promise to cut them down to almost nothing if elected, and we have always 'believed them. * . 'During the last campaign we were greatly moved ? to see stalwart and busted farmers put their arms around each other and shed tears of joy down the back of each other's sunburned necks as the fervid candidates de picted the low tax millenium that would eventuate if they were elected. And they were elected. # r And now the tax burden of each citizen of Illinois, which a short time a go was $4 per capita, has risen to $60. The debt of Illinois in the six months has .been increased more than $200,000,000 and the national debt has risen to over $22,000,000,000. For goodness sake, let us have another campaign. The only bit -of joy one can g^F out of 'the tax situation is while he listens to the pipe dreams of promising candidates who paw the air, and tell how their hearts blfeed for the suffering taxpayers and how they will lift the burden if elected. And the honest taxpayer licks it up like a child would sugar, and in the last campaign followed one of them from town to town to hear it agaim Now they all know he was a liar, but the next time they will do the same thing over again, hoping some political pipe dream may come true* ?Yorkville Enquirer.
