Friday, August 5, 1038 THE VALUE OF A NEWSPAPER In an Introduction to bin chapters on newspapers In Colleton county, lu a book we are printing. .1 l> H Warren, former editor of I be Press and Standard says: i "A new a pa per la a very potent factor anu'iiK t be agencies which pi omote the development of a town and county, but a newspaper can exist only where the people whom It stoves have sense enough to appreciate Its value and Interest enough In the common weirare to give it tnetr support Thus a newspuper may easily reflect the spirit and ambition of Jhe people to whom it Is Indebted Mr Its existence. All, therefore, that Is Implied In the term "good newspuper*," Is but a manifestation of the generous spirit of reciprocity which governs the relations subsisting between the newspaper and the public." We uro glad to have this statement from Mr. Warren. It Indicates the value of the newspuper published In any community, which, we contend, reflects the attitude or the people oi the community towards the progress and development of the community. If the business men of a community support the newspaper and are advertising patrons, this fact Is reflected In the newspaper published In tho community. Show one the newspaper, the churches and the schools of tho community and one can get u fairly accurate Idea of the progress!veness or lack of progresalveness of the community. The Press and Standard always <trles to present tho best picture possible of the eommunlty In which It Is published. It is sometimes hard to do this, when there are so many concerns and business men In the community who do not cooperate and show their Interest In the welfure of the papei?the show window of the city and county. Still, we feel, that our efforts have borne much fruit, and we are pleased to consider The] Press and Standard a very important; factor In the growth and development c>r Walterboro and Colleton county. We command tho statement of Mr. Warren to the careful consideration of our readers.?Walterboro Press and Standard. Forest Fires Claim Many Acres Of Timber Seattle. July 23?Pillars of fire danced madly through virgin Vancouver Island timber today as the worst forest fire In the Island s history burned uncontrolled and dangerously close to several communities.

WHY FINLAND PAY8 Of the billions of dollars owing to the United States as a result of loans to European nations during and ufter the World War only Finland is honoring Its obligations. Dr. E. Rudolf-W. Holstl, Foreign Minister of the Finnish nation, says It wants to pay every cent of Its obligation to Amerlcu." The reason he gave an Interviewer for the New York Times is Interesting. "My feeling of gratitude toward your nation Is first of a personal nature," the fifty-six year-old statesman said In an interview at the Savoy Plaza Hotel. "Without boasting, permit me to say that I was instrumental In bringing about Finland s independence. I was the first diplomatic representative of my country to London after the Russion revolution, and it was there that, through the help of Herbert Hoover, your former President, I settled Finland's food problem In 1918." Then recalling the days of the Paris Peace Conference, where he also represented his country, the Minister's voice was shaking with emotion when he revealed how he finally received, after week-long negotiations. a letter from Robert Lansing, then United States Secretary of State, with the news that Finland's recognition had been granted. Now you may understand my feelings and my country's gratitude to America." he said, "you have fed us and you have recognized our Independence. and nothing would be more natural than paying back to you our debts to the last cent. Your friendship Is Important to us. politically, economically and socially. Orangeburg Times and Democrat. How Ice Melts When It Is Exposed to the Heat As ice melts, changes occur in the crystals within. The crystalline structure of a block of ice is not apparent, owing to the close contact and perfectly regular arrangement of the crystals, but when a piece of ice is exposed to radiation from any luminous source, disintegration gradually takes place, and by the use of a lens numerous small crystals may be seen, studding the interior of the block; as the heat con-( tinues, theee crystals expend and: Anally assume the shape of six- rayed stars of exquisite beautyfThen, although it cannot be seenwith the naked eye, the block of ice has changed its structure and is partially melted long before its surface shows any change. What ap'pears to be a sudden disintegration has actually been going on for some time within the block. How to Xeep Tobacco Moist If the man of the house mutters Into his beard because the tobacco in his jar. can or pocket pouch dries out so fast, try dipping the humidifier of the container in a mixture of equal parts of glycerine and water, and the tobacco will stay moist much longer. The idea comes ^ straight from the tobacco industry where glycerine is practically indispensable in the manufacture of smoking tobacco, cigars and cigarets because of its unique property of absorbing and retaining moisture. The glycenne-and-water treatment works equally well with any of the usual types of humidifier?blotting paper, felt, sponge or composition material. j Read the label on your paper and 1 watch the date.

The cotton farmer gambles only from season to season, but the cotton mill owner aud the cotton mill worker gamble from mouth to mouth, literally from week to week, or tiay to day. And the public pays off a big percentage of their gambllug debts by being called on periodically to ante up to see that nobody starves in lean periods. Some suggest that the remedy for this perennially painful situation will be reached when the cotton mill industry will sit together and devise a system whereby they may be Jilrod by the year and paid by the week? every week?like other salaried people.

PUSH LIVESTOCK WITH GOOD GRAIN CROP8 Columbia, July 30.?With a good crop of corn and small grain already made In most sections, prices of feeds will be low and the best market available will be through livestock, J. R. Hawkins, extension animal husbandman advises. Hog prices will probably decline during fall and winter, and Mr. Hawkins suggests that every effort be made to push the spring pigs to hiarket weights as rapidly as possible. For this purpose oats combined with corn, barley, or wheat makes acceptable feed. The small grains had best be ground and supplemented with a protein feed. Regarding cattle Mr. Hawkins believes that there will be a steady market for fat heavy calves the remainder of the summer and fall. His feeding suggestions in this connection are: As long as pastures are good and calves are gaining rapidly they will Increase in value. However, calves which are to be sold this fall should not be allowed to lose their calf fat before they are marketed. A mixture of oats, shelled corn, and a little cottonseed meal makes an acceptable feed for calves. By supplementing the mother s milk with a grain mixture of this sort the calves not only gain In weight more rapidly but bring higher prices at selling time. Calves fed grain In a creep at the Coast Experiment Station, Summerville, are gaining 2.14 pounds per head per day as against 1.27 pounds for calves getting only milk and grass.
