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.

more men and women
to serve you
Twelve hundred additional people
Mere put to work bv the Southern Bell Telephone Company in
1035, to care for the increased public demand for service and
ft the resultant growth of the business.
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.
Guiding these telephone folks at all times, in fair weather
?r in emergencies such as fire, floods of storms, is their expressed
objective: n> give the public the best possible service at the lowest

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.

PRINTER'S ERRORS
I Most people shake their beads
mournfully if they see a few typographical
errors in a paper, as if tlie
carelessness of the proof-reader was
really hopelessly incurable, and utterly
inexcusable. 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

riomson, Jul)' ?Reports of weevil

Four-11 club boys and others Interested
indicate that the cotton boll woevil
situation has changed little during

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

counts made in the Coastal section
showed that five per cent of the
squares were punctured.

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.
