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."

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.

zen. Milwaukee, Is adopted. A patient
may listen to any program on the air
through handphones of n radio set
which are clamped to the forehead

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.

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

? Pageland, Sept. 15?Virginia
Fletcher and Ben Baker, 13-year-old

papers in this section had just thrown
the Fletcher's afternoon paper to the
road.
w Virginia and 'Ben, who were pitying
in front *6f the Fletcher's home, 1
raced to see who would get it' first. The
trailer caught them and crushed
the'm to death.
Faulkner slammed on his brakes
but it was too late. He looked back '>
and saw two bodies in the road.
The children were^students in the
Jefferson school near here. Virginia 1
