WHAT CAUSED DROUGHT? Ch Mid westerners hold strange and divergent opinions on the cause of the recent costly drouth. They run the gamut from the divine to the ridiculous. A L. M. Birkhead, liberal center minister, spent his vacation gathering and listing causes of the drouth as advanced by farmers, preachers, scientists and pseudo-sciantists. "About 75 per cent of those reasons," he told his audience, "are based on belief in miracle*." Many dry westerners ascribed the drouth to repeal of the 18th amendment. Others, deeply religious, felt that the* Roosevelt program of crop curtailment was responsible, Birkhead stated. Some blame broadcasting. 1. "We have slaughtered the pigs and plowed under the cotton and the wheat and God turned off the faucet. God was angry at our invasion of the realm which is his alone." 2. "The return of the liquor evil, the rise of night clubs and the immoral nudity craze?we have refused to listen to God and now God re| fuses to listen to us." 3. "The drought * was caused by [automobiles, which constantly discharge carbon-monoxide gas. This ga? has a chemical action on the atmosphere which makre rain impossible." I. "Drouths come in cycles ami nothing can he done about it." .">. "The virouth is very definitely.^ a punishment sent from God because we have violated his law in repealing the 18th amendment. We are all guilty, from the president of the United States down." ,0. "Because our country harbors communists God sent the terrible drouth on the land," 7. "The drouth is a punishment sent upon the farmers for their attempts to chisel the government out of money in the corn, wheat, cotton and hog reduction plans. 8. "Sun spots so heated a strip across the United States that this freak weather was produced." 9. "The high frequency waves and currents which come from the radio and which dry the atmosphere brought on the dry weather. These waves also impair human lives and have given individuals and nations the jitters. Broadcasting should be prohibited during the growing season." 10. "The drouth is a punishment for the heresies of modernists and humanists, who have been allowed to shout out their unbelief without rebuke.' ' 1 11. "The improvidence of man in over-cultivation of the soil, leveling forests and wasting water brought on the drouth." Commits Suicide Near Columbia. Columbia, Sept. 1(?.? Marion P.

CONSTANCY OF "OLD LOVE" IS HONORED State of MmmcHumIU Reman" ben "Aunt Zlyha." - < i.; j Warwick. Mas*.?A monument to the coifStanoy of a woman's love has been erfcted here by the state of Massa chusett*. "Aunt Zlyha" la the name oast In bronze on the tablet erected on a atone fireplace In the picnic ground* of llount Grace state forest. The story behind the name has become almost a legend. It seems. that many, many, years ago, site was one of the belles of tlia district She fell lu love with a farmer's son, but, months later, the romance was broken. Jilted, the git I, who came to be known as Aunt Zlyha, secluded herself In a cottage shg built on a rugged corner of what Is now the picnic grove. Here she lived In retirement, denying herself to those who would befriend her. . Years later she moved upstairs ynd the .blinds of the first-floor windows were permanently drawn. One day lire leveled the Cottage. Aunt Zlyha escaped Injury, but all her worldly possessions were lost,"Let us build her another house, but build It as sho would like to have It * built," said her friends In the village. So they planned to erect a new cottage on the sLte of the old one?a twostory house,, but with windows only on the second Hour. Angered, Aunt Zlyha announced the would not live In such a place. So she crossed the road and built herself a dugout with a roof of boughs. Here she lived until death came. Builds Self an Island and Governs It as King Sandusky, Ohio.?Kafralu, an Island man-made from a sandbar, Is a magic spot of Lake Erie. The tiny Isle Is in Sandusky bay, not far from here, and had its beginnings 25 years ago when Louis Wagner, Sandusky harness maker, had an Idea. He was returning from a fishing trip In a small boat. The boat ran onto a sandbar and grounded. The bar was a mere speck In the bay, but It was big enough to stop the boat Finally the craft was shoved Into deep water. But not before Wagner had an Idea. He drove a stake on the shallow sand strip. Later, he replaced the stake with a more permanent one on n special trip into the bay. Wagner always was envisioning a summer home on an alluring Lake Erie Island?if he could "build" the Island. He abandoned the Idea for several years, then took it up again, with the help of his family. He put ofT for the bar. with his two hoys and some planking. Then he took more planking across, load by. load. The planks were placed so that the waves would wash sand into the enclosure they formed and keep adding to the deposit. And so the Wagners begun to harness nature. A basket fac.ttfr y near their home afforded chips I anil shavings to help hold the sand accunfulntlon. The Wagners bult a home. The Island grew. Twelve cottages were finally built. Today. Kafralu has Its own harbor and piers for boating. Lopls Wagner, as "king" of the Island, owns It ami "governs" It. Terrier Deserts Sea for Life on Land With Cops IMriladelphlu.?A white terrier dog has returned from a Mediterranean cruise to become a police station mascot. "Hags" was presented to an Aqultarda passenger as a Joke Just before the ship sailed, last February. The passenger refused to accept the pup, hut ("apt. Robert Irving did. After two cruises In the Mediterranean district "Hags" found his sea legs and paced blithely about the quarterdeck. Mr. and Mrs. I,ewls B. liar vev became attached tu him, and oh tained permission from Captain Irving to present him to a police station here. His likes and dislikes were violent, however. and Patrolman Thomas Brown took him home to "teach him manners." "Hags" now politely ignores tempt ing police shins, and Is hack in official favor.

A patient may listen to any program on the air through handphones of n radio set which are clamped to the forehead The head bones carry the vibration and block out the unpleasant sounds of the drill, Poctor Drozen said. r i Roosevelt Policies Praised By Leader "Confidence in steady reconstruction of American prosperity" was expressed by Thomas J. Watadh, president of the International Business Machine Co., at a reception tendered a delegation of 100 business men of Miami Beach, Fla., by the Chamber of Commerce/ of Rochester, N. Y. Mr. Watson expressed gratitude to President Roosevelt "for the sound, constructive things he is doing" and recited a long list of "unmistakable evidences of recovery" with which he is personally familiar and for which he could vouch. He predicted shortened hours of employment and higher standards of living and definite emergence from the worst depression of all time.?Exchange. Production Loans Are Rapidly Repaid Returning from Columbia where he attended a meeting of the presidents and other officials of the production aredit associations of North Carolina, Sbuth Carolina, Georgia and Florida, L. O. Funderburk, director of the Kershaw Production Credit Associaj tion says that reports at the meeting indicated that the officials were ex, pecting 100 per cent collections in j the four states of this district this fall. j "It'was brought out at the meeting" said Mr. Funderburk "that the collections from the tobacco belts of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia were good, many farmers I having paid up their obligations to the associations with the proceeds from their tobacco alone. It is believed that the prevailing prices for cotton and tobacco will enable every farmer-borrower whose loan was secured by those two crops to pay their loans promptly in full. ''The collections this fall from these four states have already mounted to over $1,600,000, indicating a genuine desire on the part of the farmer-borrowers to wipe out their obligations as quickly as possible in order to protect their credit standing, Save themselves interest charges and protect the value of their stock. "Mr. S. M. Garwood, production credit commissioner of the Farm Credit Administration at Washington, impressed upon us the fact that our first duty is to' protect the Class B stock in the production credit associations?the stock held by the fai trier-borrowers. He said it would obviously be unfair to the farmer who paid his loan in full to have his stock impaired by permitting some other farmer-borrower to evade his obli-j gations. The fact that production credit associations do not loan government money was stressed by Mr. Garwood.) The Federal Intremediate Credit Bank which discounts the paper of these associations gets its funds by selling debentures to the investing public. Farmers borrowing through | production credit associations are dependent on the marketability of the debentures of the Federal Intermediate Credit Banks in financial centers, Mr. Garwood said. "The entire production credit system is established, Mr. Garwood further brought out, with the idea of making the low-cost credit of these financial centers, long available to other industries, available to farmers and stockmen throughout the country through their own collective action. "IT the pproduction credit associations are to be. successful, Mr. Garwood told Us, "and to continue to' meet farmers' needs, the associations must continue to be run on a purely business basis that will insure the repayment of loans by borrowers and the efficient management of the association. "Mr. Ernest Graham, the president of the Production Credit Corporation of Columbia, also told us that he expected 100 per cent collections and insisted that the associations must be run on strictly business principles." Payments may be made at the office of the Association in Kershaw and the following parties have agreed to accept payments as an accommodation to the farmers: W. T. Redfearn, at the Redfearn Motor Company, Camden; Ix>ring Davis, Bethune; Heath Springs Mercantile Company at Heath Springs; and V. E. Craig at I>ancaster. E. H. Sterrett, representative of the Federal I^and Bank, will have the authority to receive collections throughout both counties as their field representative. Over half a hundred clerks will be sent out by the collector of internal revenue to help South Carolina ginners make their reports and records under the Bankhead act. The clerks will be furnished by FER.A from its rolls of needy, unemployed clerical workers and will be named by the county administrators of FERA. The internal revenue collector saya It look* like more gins would be in operation Jn this atate before the aaaaon ends, than there were operated last year. gjCi.'- v,. . . Tudftril/' To Help Those Who Help Themselves The Emergency work under thq. supervision of the Home 'i^monstration Agent has been far reaching in each section of Kershaw County. In the Liberty Hill and adjacent sections the work has consisted mostly in visiting and instructing the colored people in the making of better homes and the planting of fall gardens. It is gratifying to see the interest and eagerness of the colored people to learn more of the things that will make them better citizens. In my visits to the homes of those on direct relief, work relief and those on the margin I have found that the drought in most cases hurt the gardens but where there were vegetables raised the surplus has been canned. This is the case with the fruit, too. Most of those I have visited have been encouraged and advised as to the cleaning of their homes, quilts and clothes, win preparation for winter. Many have been given papers with which to re-paper their walls. These papers were donated by interested parties. In numerous cases of sickness among those visited I have suggested suitable diets and advised first aid treatment. The Emergency Worker has a great opportunity for the uplift of mankind. In no way can a worker do more good than by going into the homes pf those who need help and instructing them in utilizing the things at hand, in conservation of foods, in proper eating, in making of better, cleaner homes and in urging the planting of fall gardens. The 4-H Club at Liberty Hill is I planning to concentrate its efforts j this year in forming a community j garden club. Each member will be j urged to beautify her own garden and the public places of interest. There will be plant exchanges, fall and spring flower exhibits and other things to stimulate and inspire the love of the beautiful in our gardens. Already the club has begun to beautify the church and school grounds, where there will be a rock garden of rare loveliness. All of this work was t | begun under the able and efficient' I leadership of Mrs. S^die Craig Kirkj sey and Mrs. Dora D. Walker.?Sadie B. McCrae. Two Children Killed By Truck ? Pageland, Sept. 15?Virginia Fletcher and Ben Baker, 13-year-old school sweethearts, were united in death today.Running int^o the road in front of Virginia's home, to pick up a newspaper, they were struck by the trailer of a large truck and instantly kill- . ed yesterday afternoon.
