How To Treat Overheated Stock There are usijqjly ample danger signs of approaching heat stroke in the horse or mule, but these are freiinently overlooked and sometimes lg-| norcd, with serious consequences. If the driver does not note sluggiKhneHH, undue punting, or other symptoms of more or less distress, he should at least realize danger ahead if a hard working animal on a hot day falls to sweat normally or if he stops sweating. If a horse or mule after sweating in the usual way, stops sweating while still working In hot weather serious danger already exists. Hut if this danger signal is promptly recognized there may still be a good chance of avoiding serious or permanent injury to the animal. The method of procedure when arly symptoms of heat stroke are recognized is simple. Stop the work, i; practicable get the animal in the ?had?- promptly, apply cold water to the head, and smart friction to the body by rubbing with rough cloths. And while these simple common sense things are being done a veterinarian should be called if there is one available. Hut never apply water as a first aid treatment to the body of any animal that is overheated. The careful hogman begins applying water to the nose and face, gradually working up to the top of the head of his hot hog, and * the same practice is imperative for the horse or mule.?

Dies From Heat Thomason, Ga., June 30.?Thomson's worst heat wave in years, which reached a maximum temperature of 103 degrees yesterday afternoon, claimed the life of Louis Bross, 15 years of age, who died in the University hospital, Augusta. The youth lived near Thomson, came home from the fields about 11 o'clock complaining that he did not feel well. He had twelve convulsions shortly, and the family physician recommended that he be brought to the Augusta infirmary. He barely survived the trip.

PERSONALITY PLU8 Pathfinder tells a sad story which nevertheless has a decidedly humorous side. It concerns a catalogue issued by a fashionable "finishing school" for girls. The catalogue was a highly attractive specimen of the printer's art, intended to appeal to the eye as well as the pocketbook of wealthy parents to whom it was sent. All the advantages of the school were set forth most convincingly, the elaborate curriculum was stressed, j and several "extras" were suggested to make the "finish" of its girl students entirely complete. One of these j extras for which only $200 additional was required was a course in "Voice and Personality." After the catalogues had all been mailed out, it was discovered that the printer had omitted one little letter in the line of type describing this course, which he had made to read "Vice and Personality," What the school people and the printer said when the error was discovered is not recorded.

This was an increase of 8.12 per cent, drtd brought the total number of men and women who provide you with good telephone service in the South to 17,000. * Their payroll >vas nineteen and one^hird million dollars, most of which was spent in their home communities. Through 936 central offices in nine states, they devote their thought and effort to give you the best possible telephone service that skill and training can provide. They planned and placed in service $12,428,906 worth of additional telephone "plant" in 1935 to meet service demands, and this year it will expand even more. Taxes, in 1935, "required a record sum of $6,505,000 from the telephone company by federal, state, county and municipal agencies. This figure, too, will be exceeded in 1936.

Says Make The Most of Good Hog Prices Columbia. July C.?-The indicated Incrciim' of 25 per rent In the number of boas to be marketed during tlit* coming season will probably result in somewhat lower priei s for both hogs .and pork, thinks .f H. Hawkins, extension animal bimtfkndinan, While lower prices for pork will be very a??.-piabie to consumers, the farmer nboubl malm plans to market as many hogs as possible before the price declines materially* Hawkins advises "In the past (bis decline bas usually started in September, the price fulling rapidly in October and November, and lias readied a,,low spot in December," the specialist explains. "The average decline during this period lias amounted to about $2.50 per hundred pounds, or $5,00 for each 200pound bog. "hi order to get the b#iellt of higher early prices bogs should be kepi growing as rapidly as possible and marketed as soon as they can be llnished to around 200 pounds weight.

Yet, as an exchange points out, the chances of making niistakes are really almost Infinite in [ number. This is how it figures out: | Ip an ordinary newspaper column there are 10,000 pieces of type, there are several wrong positions that a letter may be put in, there are about 10,000 chances to make errors, and a million chances for transpositions. In the short sentence, "To be or not to be." by transpositions alone it is possible to make almost 3,000,000 errors. No Change Reported In Weevil Situation i riomson, Jul)' ?Reports of weevil countH made by extension workers, Four-11 club boys and others Interested indicate that the cotton boll woevil situation has changed little during the past week, says W C NettleB, extension entomologist. No weevils or punctured squares were reported in most of the upper Piedmont counties. Scattered wee[ vils and punctured squares were reported in the lower Piedmont and sand hill sections. An average of counts made in the Coastal section showed that five per cent of the squares were punctured. An examination of squares showed that many of the developing weevllH would never emerge ns they hnd been killed during the hot dry weather. In the lower Piedmont section tlio need for applying liquid poison la greater ami more timely than 'cine- ( where. "I'nder present conditions punctured squares should be picked up by band as a measure of protection for younger plants growing In the same or adjoining fields with older plants," Mr. Nettles advises. "Thrown" Tree Kills Boy Mount Airy?Gilmer Johnson, 16, of the Hlaekwater section, 10 miles south of this city was fatally Injured abodt 7 o'clock Saturday when n tree was literally "thrown at him". The youth had been helping cut timber for staves, reports stated, and was standing some distance away and well In the clear as a large pine started to fall. Hut the big tree struck another. bending the smaller one nearly double and breaking the top partly off. As the large tree passed on over it, the small one sprung back the othcrway. slinging the top off and straight toward the boy. Says Selling Corn At Prices Too Low ('nhvij^iiu, July 4?South Carolina growers are Belling their corn at a ve^ low price, especially in view of the present prospects for grain eropjh ivm.vh George 10, Prince, chief of IOxt^Hion Service Division of Markets, pointing out that although the price of wcfctern? corn has advanced around 10 cents per bushel during the last few weeks, the South Carolina mills using native corn have not advanced their prices. "Western No.' 2 graded white corn is now worth approximately $1.00 per bushel, delivered South ^.Carolina I points", Mr. Prince* explains. "South Carolina Mills are continuing to pay 00 to 05 cents per bushel for corn, shelled and sacked, delivered the mills, which Is the same price they were paying three months ago. "According to the June 1 crop report of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, the condition of grain crops is as follows: Wheat 06 per cent, oats 74 per cent, barley 75 per cent, rye Oil per cent. With the weather conditions prevailing during the past few months the 1030 corn ; crop 1h also in a doubtful position. 1 The grain crops are In much poorer condition us of June 1 than they were at the same time in 1985. "It would seem that the South Carolina growers could secure much more favorable prices for their corn by feeding through livestock or otherwise marketing, than by selling to mills at the present price offered", Mr Prince concludes. The treasury department has ruled that there Is no federal tax to be paid .on Roosevelt "nomination" tickets, holding that the buying of such tickets we're "contributions" rather than for tickets of admission and therefore non-taxable.
