AS A I.AST RESORT ..If the depression has not been entirely cured by the lime this appears in print, I suggest the following ideas 'for the consideration of the government: i 1. Inflate currency to get us nut of debt. 2. Recognize Russia. 2. Unreeognize France. 4. Remove processing tax on cotton and wheat. 5. Stop selling new bond*.%. f>. Pathe farmers a fkir^frtdce^ for their atuflf. 7. Reduce the postage rate and make more money. 8. Use college professors (for advice) sparingly. 9. Plow up every pther public of' flee. 10. Let Wall Street alone. 11. Require Federal permits to grow cotton and wheat. 12. Keep our hands and face clean. UNINVITED ADVISORS . .1 was deeply impressed by a speech made to a bunch of "tillers of the soil" at the court house not long ago; his idea was to tell them what to do and when to do ft:- here's whjit I gatho^d from his 30-minute "talk: "(lentermens and Indies;? Bliih-blah-blab* blah-blah- blah" Blah-bluh-blfllw blah-blah- blahBlnh-blah-blah blah-blah- Maji* Blah-blah-blah- blah-blah- blahblah-blah-blah." (No applause.) BRO. JOHNSON Willi OUT YOU ..I.ots of us are not doing our full duty in the support of the NRA program. Since the barbers rajped hair cuts, some folks wait a few weeks longer to have tonsorial work done. Ten-cent shoe-shines have increased home shining. High-priced overalls have put plenty women to patching. Old dresses are being made over. Flour is sobhigh, ttyf consumption of wheat products is off about 30 per cent, meaning a bigger wheat surplus, and match sterna are being used for toothpicks. That will nqver do, folks. Spend your money; if you have none, spend it anyhow. WERE VOl THERE? EVERYBODY ELSE WAS ...I went to a football game the other day. Times are0so hard.

('lemson College, Oct. 28.?Stored corn may be saved from grain weeviU and motha by use of carbon dinulphide, adviae the entomologist?, who urge as a first step that bins l>e well cleaned and fumigated before new corn is housed, and the bin made as tight as possible with building paper and tongup-aml-ggoov? boards. Then when the crop is stored and thoroughly dried it must be fumigated with the chemical as follows: Level .the surface and apply the carbon disulphide by pouring from a bucket with a sweeping motion, so that a thin sheet of the liquid is thrown out over the grain. In large bins apply near all four corners and ] in the middle. This direct applica- i tion will not hurt the grain for food ( or seed, provided it is thoroughly j dried. In bins that are not tight dt j the top, heavy tarpaulins, blankets or 1 sacks should be spread ov^rjhe grain , immediately after the application. ( Exposure to the gas should continue j for 24 to 48 hours before the bin is j opened. Ventilation will not be ne- \ cessary except in very tight bins. The application should be made when the temperatbre is above 70 degrees ( Fahrenheit. < Ten to twenty-five pounds of car- ( bon disulphide per 1,000 cubic feet j must be used for the bin of ordinarily tight construction. In . practically J airtight bins as little as four pounds ( per 1,000 cubic feet will be effective. , Water-tight barrels used as fumigating chambers will require only one- ( half cup of carbon disulphide. ( As precautions against the dangers ^ of carbon disulphide (t is urgent not to fumigate bins in a stable where livestock is confined; and since it is j intlamable, to keep all fires, lanterns ( or lighted cigars away during fumi- ( gation. , Annual 11.

He entered in the penitentiary in July, 1921v He^ escaped April Id, 1925, n?d was at liberty until arrested in Angeles September 27. Cooper says that he was frightfully shocked at his arrest, and though he had been living upder the name of Benjamin Jones, and had married his wife, Mrs. Irene Jonos, April, 1930, under that name, he did not deny his identity, and admitted that he was the man who was wanted to serve his term in the South Carolina _ penitentiary.
