IP.?Collegiate f**h r ion*, m typified oa the University of 8ou)h Carolina campus, are turning back to the gay '90'* this season according to a survey of local men's dress shops which cater to the college trade. Fedorg bats and self supporting garters are leading the parade, tihlrts with detachable collars of varied hue are near the top of the list and bow ties have come back Into their own. Campus Don Juans are shy of the ready-made bows and tie their own. Hearts and ties with matchlug handkerchief and socks are red hot' this year, according to the haberdashery dope. HultB plain In color and cut will be the thing for summer wear, and the law students lean toward the derby by way of conservative headgear. Collars witli buttons are as much in demand as double-breasted top coats. Wrist watches and pocket timepieces find almost equal favor in the eyes of the sartorially elect on the campus. And the latest creation to make its appearance at the University Is a backless shirt, rather on the order of a vest. It's for hot weather wear. The senate has unanimously passed a bill granting a pension of |5,000 a year to Mr*. Grace Coolidge, widow of the late Presiuent Calvin Coolidge. Death Sentence For | Columbia Murderer Columbia, Jan. 16^-A death sentence will be given Irvlu Brown, SByear-old negro who was yesterday found guilty of the ice-pick stabbing of a white Insurance agent, T. H. Bowen, here last August, during a quarrel over a 20 cent premium policy. One of the mauy witnesses at the trial was D. D. Parrot, operator of the barber shop where the killing occurred, who testified that he and Brown, a shine boy, wore In the shop when Bowen came lu, that after an argument between Browu and Bowen in the rear pf the shop they came out aud he heard the negro ask Bowen to refund 20 cents. / Bowen refused, he said, and the negro puneturdd the tire of Bowen s cur. The quarrel heightened, and Brown stuck Bowen In the neck with an ice pick, Parrott testified. About 60,000 persons witnessed the I execution of five Chinese narcotic peddlars on the broad steps of the worldfamous. Temple of Heaven at Pleplug, China. It was the second public execution of nurcotlc peddlars in the governiqent's crusade to stop the selling and use of narcotics in China. At the same time nearly 10,000 ounces of seized Illicit narcotics were destroyed in a big bonfire. 8UPPORT OP THE POLICE Chief of Police Sturdivant, of Atlanta, who resigned from office this week'after 27 years of Horvice, said of police work: "A policeman's Job ia no bed of roses and unless ho hut) confidence and the uupport of lawabiding citizens he in handicapped in deulinK with criminals." All residents of n community know that Chief Sturdivant spoke truth in hiu farewell ututomcnt. Ho is retiring to make way for a new admittlHtratiou wiiich has promised police re foj-m, but ho has left something for the administration and its supporters to think about. Bo-culled law abiding citizens olten give the police force in their cities little assistance. K&ther than be a witness in court or Incur the lll-wlll of those who are not law-abiding, they refuse "pwmui officers, who were elected by their votes, the cooperation their uupport Implied. The truth is that sometimes these "law-abiding" citizens are not always law-abiding. Sometimes they patronize bootleggers, bet on policy games, rent property to persons who use it In violation of law. And if a dive is discovered on their property and is closed by the police, they are first to charge the raiding officers and the udministrution with persecution. Most police forces are better thau the public, tho citizens and the administration have a right to expect' them to be.?Spartafiburg Herald.

RUST W START PROFITS M * ''' '?? " :wi. * ' ;h I V ' * Each year thousands more fanners discover that they oan make a lot more money from cotton by using a lot more potash than the evoragc fertilizer Contain!. Once they put extra potash on trial, they find it Just the thing their cotton needs to pay them extra cash. For instance, there is V. S. BICKLEY, of Lexington, S. C., who writes: "Last year I planted cottop on twp plots of sandy land which formerly had shown severe Rust. Both received the same fertilizer and top-dresser, except that one plot got 100 pounds of NV Muriate of Potash per acre. On this plot the yield was 2,444 pounds of seed cotton per acre, while the other plot yielded only 778 fSbunds. "My priyate gin showed 39% lint for the potash-top-dressed cotton as against 33% lint for the other cotton. The staples were 1 1/16 inches, as compared to 15/16 inch. Before the cotton opened I weighed 50 green bolls from each plot trtken from the same positions on the stalks. The potash bolls weighed 96 ounces and the rusty bolls 66 ounces. I just about broke even on the rusty cotton and' made a profit of $76.24 per acre from the potash-top-dressed cotton." v Then there is MRS. PEARL POLLARD, of Wedowee, Ala., who writes: "For three years our cotton was ruined by Rust. Orie_?cre, where the old house and barn stood, was completely' eaten up in 1935. Rust struck before a boll matured and what little cotton we did get was so terrible to pick, that we named it 'the old rusty acre.' .: "My husbanU swore he'd never try thii spot in cotton again. After it was planted in Austrian peas for corn, 1 asked to use it as a test plot. He and the two boys hooted at me but finally agreed. April 20 it was planted with the same variety of cotton seed it grew before, using 200 pounds of 6-8-4 in with planting. In June, after chopping out, we ?op-dressod?with 200 pounds of NV Kainit. Our first rain came the 28th pf July. ^ 1 ,T - . "In 1935, a good season, wte made 500 pounds of seed cotton on this acre.,In 1936, we picked 1,700 pounds of seed cotton and didn't find a speck of Rust, except on the four rows which we left as a check in the middle of the field without NV Kainit. We are Convinced about NV Kainit for Rust." ^i,'fi V- -< l ' ' W< A. QAINPY, of Dunn, N. C., wanted to plant a 9-acre field in cotton, but his children begged him not to. They said it would produce a lot of knotty, half-oper> bolls which nobody could pick, because it had always done this before. Mr. Gainey writes: "At an evening school our new agricultural teacher told us that plenty of potash would prevent Rust, sol decided to plant the 9-acre field. I used 500 pounds of fertilizer per acre and top-dressed with 100 pounds of Muriate of Potash and Nitrate of Soda. "Where I used to get short, inferior staple from small, knotty bolls, I got a good staple, cotton from wide-open bolls that were easy to pick. l/Lj field remained ^?i jwk? Mitr -"'- "fT". "T~ Sly; fU? 03. ' ?2 it a- - >' 1 ' healthy and produced large well-matured bolls to the top of the stalk. "Where I used to get about 200 to 2$0 pounds of low-grade lint per acre, I made slightly better than a bale of high-grade lint and I am satisfied that the 100 pounds of Muriate of Potash made the difference." # DANA A. WHITFIELD, of Ty Ty, Georgia, beat his Father growing cotton last year and NV Kainit was the difference. Mr. Whitfield writes: > "My Father and I planted our cotton on April 1 with the seed bed in just fair condition. Wc planted my field first and then his field, using the same planter, same fertilizer distributor, same seed and same fertilizer. Everything was exactly alike, the fields being about the same^ except that I top-dressed with 200 Dounds of Kainit m*r urn right ?^er chopping out and he didn't. My Father's cotton was practically, dead from Rust by the 1st of August, but mine remained healthv riaht on through picking. There was no Rust or Witt in my cotton. About one-third of the fruit on his cotton reached maturity, white all of mine was well matured. Our land was almost identical. We plowed and fertilized alike, except that I used Kainit and he didn't. X made 456 pounds of seed cotton per acre more than he did and extra Kainit was the" difference." mmmmm 9 .... Thousands of f armors throughout the South haro found that tho small extra cost of extra potash returns big dividends in inert ased yields of better quality eotton. Plenty of NV POTASH in your fertiliser orjop-dreffor PREVENTS RUST, helps control Wilt and produces vigorous, healthy plants, with lets shedding, larger bolls that are easier to pick* and batter yields of uniform, high-quality lint. V r w . When you buy your fertiliser and top^dresser, tall your fertiliser men you want more NV POTASH. Plan now to top-dress With 100 pounds of NV MURIATE or too pounds of NV KAIN1T per acre, or use s nitrogenpotash mixed-goods top-dresser containing lO tO NV POTASH. If you prefer to Use your Sutra potash If planting, Select a fertiliser containing 8 to 10% NV POTASH. Where Rust has been very severe you may need both high-potash fertiliser at planting and potash topdressing to STOP RUST h?d START PROFITS. : T / } . '. Jl-lW rL^UvjJTJW 7w711 ,C ?. . ' ?-vV ^ N. V.
