Poultry Flocks Show Profits From Layers Clemson, Sept, 28.?An average production of 11.1 eggs for August was shown by the 6995 hens on 62 farms with poultry demonstration flocks, says P. H. Gooding, extension poultryman. The hens ate 20.9 cents worth of feed each, and returned a total Income of 38 cents, Including sale of eggs and poultry, leaving an income above feed cost of 17 cents per bird for the paonth. The average monthly charge for interest on investment, depreciation on equipment, and all other costs except feed, is approximately 3.5 cents per hen, according to records of the four previous years. Deducting this amount from the income above feed cost, the labor income for the month was 13,6 cents per hen.

Wins 8pitiing Contest Fishersville, Va., Sept. 24.?Jasper Davis, bronted and robust Fishersville farmer, succesfully battled. -A. high wind here today to win the title of "Spittingest" man in South River .District. Taking a generous "chaw" from his hip-pocket plug, Davis scored a bull's eye at 12 feet 9 inches .to lead the field by a full Inch. Bill Barton, who prefers the tobacco twist, spat' mightily but lacked accuracy beyond 12 feet 8 Inches. The wind was too much for Jake Kiblinger, another veteran whose best efforts were far short of the leaders. He claimed third place with a measured-range of 8 feet f inches. Prim mjaids and housewives discreetly retired to the fancy work departments of the Fishersville Community Fair, while the "Spittoon Nimrods" warmed up for their battle for one of the most cherished titles in the district. - A crowd of admiring men and boys ?with tycir backs to the wipd? looked on, but the champion received little acclaim from the housewives. They said the contestants wGrc less accurate at home. Joseph Chandler was robbed by an unidentified negro and thrown qff a railroad embankment, near WinstonSalem, N.

HIGH FINANCE . .1 uudertoook to learn to 'puuch lightning" when 1 was IB years of age. I might explain that puuchlng lightning was telegraphing In those days. I kept Vback" about 6 miles from the Small-town telegraph office, and walking that distance every day had 4>egun to prove OtittOIKiWlo ray nether limbs. .. 1 figured that a bicycle was what 1 must have, but it took money to buy bicycles, and that is one of the many things that I rarely ever saw, much less ever owned. I never actually possessed enough cash to rattle till after I was 26 years of age. .. A friend told me that there was a bank at the county seat. 22 miles from my home, that plight let a worthy fellow have some money. 1 stood In with the conductor and flagman on a freight train passing t>ur station, and they let me ride to the city in quest of funds for the purpose of getting off my feet. ..On my first visit to the bank I never was auccesful in getting up enough nerve to ask the banker for the loan. Every time I started toward his window, my mouth would get so dry I couldn't utter a sound, and I sweated like a glass of lemonade, even tho it was winter time. I almost rubbed the paint oft the Cashier's counter sliding to and fro past his porthole. ..I hung around till 2 o'clock; they closed the bank then and put me out. That was a hard day's work. I made 4 more trips to that bank, worrying and turning red In the face before I mustered up enough?courage to explain my mission. I finally got a conference with the boss, but as $20.00 was a very large sum to loan, he called 2 others in to pass on the advance. I got the $20.00. That man got my banking business, after I got far enough along to have a bank account, for 18 years. He was the first man to extend me a favor, and even tho he has passed away, he is still one of the biggest men I ever knew I bought the bicycle. I rode it half the time and it rode me half the time. The roads were so bad and often so muddy, I had to tote the vehicle for 10 or 15 miles a week. I paid my note promptly after getting my first Job. My check was for $30.00 (per month), and that left me $7.00 for board and $3.00 for my first suit of underwear. ?

Slins, 77, wartime commander of the American fleet in European waters, died of a heart attack at a daughter's home here today. The retired naval officer, who would have been 78 next October 16, underwent an operation in Juuo and ap- peered to be regaining hie health. ! [Mrs. Robert Hopkins, the daughter at whose home he died, said he had suffered the heart attack yesterday but had lingered until today. Funeral plane have not yet been completed. The admiral is survived by his widow, the former Anne Hitchcock, St. Ix)uis; three daughters, Mrs. Hopkins. Mrs. Robert Flake, Mrs. Kiting Morrison^ two sons, William Snowden, Jr., and Ethan. Sims, to use his own words "Just scraped In" to the Naval academy In 1876, to start a career that took him to the top in naval ^circles. He was appointed from Pennsylvania on his second attempt to enter the academy. He fell so far short of requirements ' in his first examination that his Congressman was advised by Aqnapolfs authorities not to submit his name the second time. The congressman, however, Ignored the advice and" renominated young Sims Throughout his career he was an outspoken critic of American naval methods but usually won the eventful support of his superiors. Sims' criticisms of the navy began when he was a young officer stationed in China. Later, while in Petrograd, he filed more reports of "faulty" naval methods than all other attaches combined. He leveled many of his written shafts at what he termed faulty construction of battleships. He narrowly escaped courtmartial for his writings to his superiors. When Theodore Roosevelt was assistant secretary of the navy, Sims suggested target practice for the entire fleet. The secretary followed the suggestion. An old windjammer was (the target. After firing several thousand rounds of ammunition at it, the navy hit it twice. When Roosevelt became president, Sims sent him a letter direct, withotit the formality of sending It "through channels." . It demanded trpget practice for the fleet. Roosevelt ordered "that young man", to Return from China. He ordered that Sims be given entire charge of target practice for eighteen months. When Sims finished his assignment, Roosevelt declared: "Commander Sims has done more for target practice than Any other man in the United States." In 1908, as the American navy was ready for its memorable cruise around the world, Sims, through friend, caused to be published a series of articles attacking the construction of American warships. The controversy thus created brought a storm of public comment. " The senate and higher naval officers took steps to pitnlsh Sims. .^President Roosevelt ordered all charges dropped. From that date naval construction underwent drastic changes, In line with Sims' off-repeated suggestions. When the World War broke out, Sims was president of the War college. He was assigned to command destroyers operating from British ba??s. Later, with the rank of vice admiral, he commanded a largfer fleet and finally was given the title of commander, United States naval forces operating in European waters. '\ Before the war ended, he was promoted to the rank of admiral and given command of all American warships In the war zone. He reverted to: the rank of rear admiral at the close of the war. June 21, 1930, he was given the permanent rank of admiral. h ? After the war he resumed his criticisms of American naval methods. He declined to accept the% distinguished service medal, maintaining the medal hkd been conferred on men who were not deserving of It and denied others who had earned it. 81ms was born at Port Hope, Canada. His father,, a civil engineer, whose family had lived in Pennsylvania for 200 years, brought the bo* to Pennsylvania at the ags of seven. ~ Since his retirement from the navy I* October, 1922, at the age of 64.

Prichard, assistant agronomist of the Clemson College extension Service, who has recently visited a number of cotton farmers and glnners throughout the state, asserts that he has found the majority of them glad to cooperate in trying out the experiments which have been conducted in the United States Department of Agriculture's ginning and conditioning, the value of a bale of cotton can be increased $1.60 to $4.60 per bale. Among the factors to be taken into consideration in order to get these results, as pointed out by Mr. Prichard, are: Cotton should not be picked green and wet, and care should be taken in keeping out trash and leaves. Cotton should be taken to the gin as dry and clean, as possible. To avoid damage to the fibre and the seed care must be taken in storing or sun-drying the cotton. ? dinners can cooperate in conserving the quality of the cotton by improving the speed at which it is fed in the gin stands. Experiments in the Mississippi laboratory, Mr. Prichard Nexplains, re- j veal that there Is considerable differ-. ence in cotton Bamples from cotton | ginned with a tight seed roll and that ginned /With a loose seed roll. The quality can further be Improved by the ginners'using proper cleaning machinery. 7 To Be Demonstrated By German Soldiers * ???? .
