Cainden Kotarv Notes ; 1 here was no definite program for j Thursday's Rotary meeting' due to Samuel Russell being called out of i town, who hud been allotted the pro- ; gram. The dub was fortunate in having Christie Bonet, of Columbia among the visiting Roturians, and he was called upon for a talk. This week being Washington's Birthday and also the thirteenth anniversary of RoLary, Mr. Bonet chose George Washington as hi.s subject, and touched upon incidents in Washington's visit to South Carolina. He compared the national conditions of that time with proent conditions and cited that the citizens were then afraid of two much centralized government and today they are all depending upon the centtu. government at Washington for help through the New Deal and other way-, and said that the people of Washington's day were more self reliant, whereas today they find it easy to ask the National Government f"t I.. lp and usually get it. He said that^ relief work cannot continue indefinitely for the drain on the Naionai pocketbook is too great, and Mr. Benet thinks that Rotarians can set the example of teaching self reliaancy, and help lead the people back into a more normal way of living. Tho visiting Rotarians were: Jerry Wassum, Percy Crown and Christie Benet, of Columbia; Victor S. Goodyear, of Biahopville; George Wright, of Great Falls; John Wilson, of Sumter and Charles D. Prosner, of Pittman, N. J. The program next week will be in charge of John M. Villepisgue and the following week of Thomas Alteram* Worker Appreciated For 30 years, Mrs. 'Irene Collier, now 68, has done laundry work for Falls City, Neb., families, also frequently caring for children during the absence of their parents.

' Kngineers figured then the dam would be completed in August, 1037. Astounding construction speed records followed. Today the dam builders are two and a half years ahead of their schedule. An expenditure of $3&5,000,000 is involved, $165,000,000 for the dam, its power houses and the all-American canal in the Imperial valley, and $220,000,000 for the Metropolitan water district development carrying water to southern California com-, munities. Frank It. Kent had an interesting and most readable article on Huey Long and the newspapers in Saturday's ^column. The situation as described by Mr. Kent is a rather odd one, though not so odd after all. Huey is the (Outstanding show-man of his day and time, and knows the value of the writeups in the newspapers. The newspapers almost to an individual are against the Louisiana demagogue, and would like to see him lurried into privacy, but despite the fact that they know that the publicity about him that they carry is tremendously helpful to him, are forced because of its news value to carry it. Huey, who without a doubt has one of the keenest minds in the country, knows the pickle the newspaper folks are in and will continue to feed out the kind of news to the papers that they will be forced to publish.?Chester Reporter. Quick Wit fend Level Head .Sheriff Hill tells an interesting experience of a Columbia citizen. The latter was out on the Camden road when a pedestrian in female dress signaled him for a lift. The call of a "lady" was so appealing to his chivalry that he violated his rule of ignoring strangers. He soon noticed a suspicious fuzz about the upper lip. He took a peep at the pedal extremities, and decided they were not female hoofs. He then conveniently let his hat drop to the highway, expressed regret, and asked the "she" to be so kind as to retrieve it. As "she" alighted, he stepped on the gas, and tin- brute sent 3 futile bullets after him. Lucky man to have such tine control of his wit.~.?Calhoun Times.

GROW A GOOD GARDEN .?xxl rimming Insures Greater Huccess of Garden Program. CUvmnon College, Fob, 2? Many difYicnt kinds of vegetables can Ihj (rown irt South Carolina, thus affordtig a wide range of healthful nutriious fresh vegetables in season, ytid n addition many vegetables to Ihj ahned, dried, pickled, or stored and te-pt in a fresh condition, thus providing an ample supply through the vinter, says A. E. Bchilletter, extenson horticulturist, urging tho importtnce of an abundance of fruit and vegetables in tho diet for the sake of food health, and suggesting the wislom of planning gardening operations n advance. "Ordinarily we do not think about gardening when the weather is coldest," Mr. Schilletter continues, "but lhat is when we have the most leisure ,o decide the kind and amount of each vegetable to be grown and to order seed. Buying seed early is important, for that usually insures better selection of varieties, if not a hotter grade of seed, while late buying may mean a delay in planting. If a well arranged, systematic plan is worked >ut beforehand und seed secured, time, space, and labor will be saved when seeding time arrives. "A systematic planting plan involves the grouping of vegetables according to season of planting, and also grouping together those crops which require about the same length of time to mature. "With a well selected variety of fruits and vegetables produced in a well 'planned garden, the family will use more than if vegetables have to be purchased, and better balanced meals are possible. Such vegetables as spinach, cabbage, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, asparagus, turnips, collards and chard are especially high in the essential vitamins. Vegetables are also a good source of such minerals as calcium, phosphorus, and iron which are essential elements in the human body. "Furthermore, a certain quantity of bulk food is necessary for g<>od health, and vegetables are the main source of 'roughage.' Because of their succulence and relatively large bulk the leafy vegetables and most of the root crops probably aid in the digestion of the more concentrated i foods." Naming The Farm The Mooresville Enterprise . suggests thai farmers name their farms, and offers appropriate names, such as Wayside Fruit Farm, Roselawn, Maple I>awn, Evergreen, Red Ridge, Sunny Brook, etc., and with the owner's name in connection. The editor of The Enterprise states further that such use of a farm name has many advantages. It can be painted on the farm truck and used on the labels of farm products, such as fruit or milk. It can be employed on letterheads and on bank checks. It lends dignity, too, for people like to patronize and do business with anyone who conducts his affairs in a businesslike way."?Monroe Enquirer. I Works New Racket The "city slicker" who sold the Brooklyn bridge could have taken a few lessons from a very obliging stranger who made a clean-up yesterday by renting park benches in Plant park at a quarter a seat. Police heard about the man taking benches out of the park and renting them to persons waiting to see the Gasparilla parade but before they could get across the Lafayette street bridge ho had collected between $10 and $1"> and disappeared. About the only description officers could obtain of the man1 was from a woman who said he was well dressed and polite.?Tampa Tribune. i SEEK TREASURE IN SOUTH SEA ISLANDS Get Line on Peruvian Gold Buried in 1849. Papeete, Tahiti.?Despite the fact that no authentic trace has yet been found of the fabulous treasure reported burled In the South Sea Islands, plans have been completed for a search for the "king's ransom" which reputedly was taken from Peru In 1849 and subsequently hidden on the Island of Penacrl, Tuamotus, and the neighboring Island of Iliti. The background of the treasure hunt pieced together from various Informants In the South sens Is us follows: Because of the political unrest In Peru in 18-19 a number of extremely won it by merchants and officials decided to convert their holdings into gold and remove the treasure to n place of safe-keeping, presumably Spain. Crew Captures Ship. The gold, in Ingots, was supposedly placed on a schooner by five trustworthy representatives of the group, but the guards were allegedly thrown into the sea hy the crow of the ship when they learned of the value of the cargo, and the course of the vessel changed to Australia. After many days at sea, so the story goes, the ship arrived at Penackl, where part of the treasui"? was supposed to have been burled In the lagoon, and the remainder on the Island of Hltl. The schooner then cleared for Australia, landing at Port Darwin, where to avoid unpleasant Inquiries the ship was destroyed by Are snd the crew, proceeded overland to Sydney. On this trip, it was said, several members of the crew were killed by aborigines. Years later while a patient in a hospital In Australia s member of the crew of the schooner was said to hare told a man named Howe the story of the treasure and to have turned over, to him the location charts. Howe acquired financial hacking and proceeded to French Oceania to Investigate. His quest was unsuccessful and he was eventually deported wfter diflicuities with French authorities. Treasure Located. Haunted hy the lure of the treasure, Howe many years arterwar.l Interested another man who in turn interested a group of four other Fngi-dinmn. who began opera* ing in French "tetania early this year '1 iiis group claims to I have located tie* trea-ure by means of soundings, though r* has not actually been seen or touched.
