Nobody wuata war on general principled,
but recent laws passed In the
United States makes war less desirable
tban ever. Should we get Into
war under the present set-up, a war
defense council will control all in*
, dustry, capital, Jabor and farmers.
Failure to do as you are told will
result In court martial. All regula
lions as to hours and working conditions
will bo abolished. Even women
and children can be forced to
take the places of men sent to the
front. All newspapers and other
means of communication will be
placed under a strict censorship.
That's what the industrial mobilization
"plan" means in case of war.
It means a military ? dicdatorship
with liberties gone and considerable
doubt if they would ever be restored
even after the "'necessity of war
was over If the war bug should
bite you just think over these
things.
Little Adolph lias just about gobbled
up Austria and is now looking
at Czecho-Slovakia. Somebody
j should tell Adolph there is such a
thing as taking in too much territory
j and that sooner or later something
is gonna happen to the guy who bites
off more than he can chew
Now, listen folks! If there is a
Smart Aleck in your ranks who professes
to know all about European
. politics, ask him to say "Chancellor
Schuschnigg" forty times.
We notice where a restaurant proprietor
in New York has banned
blonde waitresses because they run
after men. Wonder if the men complained
?
t t t t
One of the newspapers coming to
our desk complains of the unreasonable
requests -that are-eomefhlmeB ro
ceived by newspapers. A case was
cited where a woman wanted the
names of all of the people in the state
who were over 75 years of age. Holy
smoke! We've been having a heck
of a time getting the name of anyone
who has lived in Camden for over
fifty years
Down in Florida they have voted
the sum of $85,000 to make a survey
to find the value of tourists to Florida
. Now if that had been California
they would spend the money to find
the value of California to tourists
If you can flush a novel in which
an English author portrays an American,
you needn't worry about your
blood pressure.
Here is something to think over,
manufacturer of toy trains made
$380,000 last year while the Baldwin
1 locomotive works lost money.
No wonder a hen cackles when she
j lays an egg. She's given to the world
something that man turns out to be a
son that never sets.
I read the other day that the Republican
party has no great men to
lead it. Without subscribing to the
thought?it might be asked: what
party has? Great leaders have been
supplanted by politicians.

can't help but wonder if the horror

DICK NORMENT BECAME
ATHLETE AFTER MISFORTUNE
Tho loss of his right leg ""d urm
when run over by a locomotive did
'not deter plucky Dick Noriuent from
facing life with a smile. In fact, l>lck
| became an athlete, proving to be one
jof the best hurlera In semi pro ranks
in the south, lie oven played football
and starred as a high Jumper In prep
school.
Dick made Robert K Ripley's car
toon when he pitched a uo-hlt and uorun
game for Lumberton, N. C., high
school agulust Rowlaud, iu 1929. His
promise as a baseball pitcher attracted
the attention of big league scouts
aud Dick was signed by the 8t. Louis
Cardinals and was sent to Kvansvllle,
Ind., a farm team.
Can anyone Imagine a mau with but
one leg and one arm playing any kind
of a game. But press notices In
metropolitan papers tell of his prowess
on the diamond, the gridiron and
the track. He fielded his position as
pitcher faultlessly, was carrying tho
ball on the gridiron, in track compe
titlon he starred as a high Jumper,
topping the bar at five feet four inch
es. When Dick did his jumping, he
removed his wooden leg and hopped
along as he approached the jump bur
Dick was such an outstanding per
former that he was written up in
'Who's Who In Sports," "Miracles In
Sports." and "Brushing Up In Sports,"
us well as other magazines. Last year
he toured the country as a member I
of the Bill Whites "One Arm Wonders."
For several years he pitched
for the House of David baseball team.
It was In 1917, that Dick, then eight
years old. fell under the wheels of a
locomotive and had his right leg and
arm taken off. It happened at Hendersonvllle,
N. C. And In the years
that passed Dick hopped around on
one leg. And In time ho was as proficient
in doing things with one arm
and one leg as a majority of human
beings who have retained all of their
limbs.
Today Dick is houseman at the Ivy
Ix)dge. He has an artistic bend and
lets loose of his skill In painting, decorating,
and the like. He la a pleasant
chap to talk to and is modest to an
extreme in telling of his Various feats
in athletic sports.

8UQARYAM QUALITY POTATOES
Progress Made During 1937
sf\
South Carolina growers are today
securing 10 to 15 cents per bushel
more for their sweet potatoes than I
they were at this time last year, doBpite
the fact that the price In the
eastern markets Is slighly lower than
it was in January, 1937. This is according
to thi' records of George K.
Prince, chief of the Division of Markets
of the Cletnson College HJ\tension
Service.
At the beginning of 1935, quotations
In the Pittsburgh and Cleveland markets
showed that Porto Rico sweet
potatoes in bushel containers shipped
from Louisiana were bringing $1.65
to $1.85, while those from the Carollnas
ranged from $1.00 to $1.40?a
difference of 45 to 65 cents per bushel.
On January 21, 1938, Iyoulsluna
bushel crates were bringing $1.50 to
$1.60, while Carolina bushel crates
were bringing $1.40 to $1.50, a differential
of only 10 to 20 cents.
Now, what are reasons for this increase
in price for our South Carolina
sweet potatoes? The answer is very
simple. In the first place, a good
strain of the Porto Rican variety,
brought to 8outh Carolina in 1936,, by
the Extension Service, is boing used
by most successful growers. These
increased prices are paid for potatoes
of the quality grade United States No.
1 or better, which are sold under a
copyrighted trade name, "Sugaryama."
Other reasons for better prices include
careful handling at harvesting
time, proper grading while being bar
vested, more attention to careful digjging,
and minute care in packing tho
potatoes in attractive containers
There is an opportunity iu South
Carolina for farmers to make the
sweet potato an Important money
crop. It is useless, however, for fur
| mers to go into the sweet potato business
on a commercial scale and expect
to gel real results unless they
realize that the yam is a highly specialized
truck crop and must be properly
handled.
Qood Sfced Are Important
During the 1936 and 1937 seasons
many demonstrations were conducted
to show tho comparison of different
strains and types of Porto Itico Hwect i
potatoes. The native strains wero
tested with the Ix>uisiana strains
brought to South Carolina by the Extension
Service. The results of these
demonstrations show that the Louisiana
potatoes yield many more bushels
of the United States No. l's of Sugaryam
quality than the best native
strains. The Ixniisiana strains have
the ability to seed more potatoes per
hill. Consequently, the majority of
the potatoes are of medium size and
type that the market desires. This
larger number of potatoes per hill also
gives a higher yield.
Although the seed Btock obtained
{hoiu Louisiana gave remarkable results
In demonstrations, growers securing
seed from this strain should
make plane to keep it pure and free
from disease, In order to maintain
these high yields. Vino cuttings for
growing seed stock should bo taken
only from houlthy hfllH. The field in
which the seed stock Is produced
should bo free from sweet potato diseases.
Therefore, special care should
be taken that seed stock Is planted
on soil where for at least three yoars
sweet potatoes have not been grown
or manure has not been applied from
livestock which was fed sweet polato
vines or culled potatoes.
Just before bedding, remove all dirt
from the potatoes and discard all potatoes
showing black spots, rotten
ends, and bad bruises. The remainder
of the soed should be examined
(Jarefully for color requirements of
both skin and flosh, aud should be-v
treated with mercuric chloride.
(This is the first of a series of
articles on sweet potato growing in
South Carolina by A. E. Schlllotter,
Extension Horticulturist).
