Richards Wires As
To Differentials
Congressman James P. Richards lias
wired Honorable Henry A. Wallace,
secretary department of agriculture,
Washington, I). C., to allow location
differentials on cotton loans for this
season. Although location differentials
are not mandatory under the law,
a bale of cotton In Month Carolina is
worth more than a bale in the Mississippi
Valley or In the southwest on
account of the nearness of our cotton
to the mills The natural geographical
advantage enjoyed by Month Carolina
cotton farmers will be lost, Richards
contends, unless loans are based
on location differentials.
Secretary Wallaco has advised Congressman
Richards that the policy
with reference to such loans Is now
being formulated and that he will
give the suggestion of Mr. Richards,'
In the Interest of Month Carolina farmers,
every possible consideration in
connection with their work on the cotton
loan.

! Get Only Pennies
Donalds, Auk 26.?/There wore some
disappointed bunk robbers hereabout
today. For they carted away twentyaix
bags or money from the Dunk of
Donalds, after much boring, and each
of them contained only 100 pennies.
Cashier F. \V Griffin said they oxerlooked
more than $70o in currency
which lay In easy reach of the outer
door of the vault through which they
blow-torched their way last night
while the village slept
A passerby at about 7 a. in today
noticed the door of the hunk open and
sounded the alarm.
Griffin said a check showed that
only $26 00 was missing and that the
blow torch workers penetrated only
the outer door of the vault.
Blind As A Bat (7)
The old expression, "Blind as a
bat," Is misleading Not only do bats
have excellent eyesight, they must be
able to see In what would to us seem
absolute darkness
They take their food on the wing
at night, but we don't know whether
they actually see when they are deep
In dark caves. Kven if thWy don't,
they find their ways about through
other sensory organs which hmnans
do not possess
Some very Interesting tests have
been made to substantiate this Hats
have been released In darkened rooms
which had light threads strung haphazardly
about In a manuer which
would seem to make It impossible for
the animals to avoid flying Into them.
The bats never once flew into these
threads. In fact even afer being blinded,
they skillfully avoided the threads
? Indicating the presence of some!
special sense.?From The American

Value Of Herd Sires
Clcniaoti, Aug 27.?The United
Bin to* Bureau of Dairy Industry hupublished
lie aocond annual list of
proven bulls giving the naineu and
recordti of nearly 1,000 sires, the first
Hat having contained more than 1,500
The purpoHo of thia llet, eaya C. U
Bushman, extenaion dairy apeclaliet of
Cleinson college. Ih to help dairymen
find promising bulla for their herds
The lists are now In the hande of
dairy herd Improvement associations
and county farm agents In leading
dairy districts
"South Carolina has six duiry herd
Improvement associations which have
as a part of their work proving the
breeding value of bulls as a part of
the national plan," says Mr. Cushman
"Eighty-two dairy farms are enrolled
in this work and In the short time that
It has been In progress six bulls have
been proved."
J F Kendrick. In charge of the bureau's
herd improvement work, says
that nearly 50 per cent of the buMs
In the 1038 listing increased product
ion in the herds in which they were
used, but the other 50 per cent produced
daughters that were not as good
as their dams, and that the failure
of half the sires to 'inprove the production
of the herds in which they
were used. Indicates that muny dairy
men must use better methods In selecting
their herd sires. If they expect
to Increase the producing ability
of their herds through breeding.
Dairymen often can select, as their
herd sires, bulls whoso breeding ability
is indicated by the records of their
daughters, or they can select the sons
of proved bulls, as the sons of proved
bulls may be expected to carry inheritance
similar to that of the half-sisters
that proved the worth of the herd
bulls.

Drive On Mosquitoes
Planned By Officer
If plans suggested to the city coun,
i il by Donald Morrison, city health
officer, are carried out, thin city will
be practioully free of the mosquito
pest another summer.
The plan, as submitted by Mr. Morrison.
provides for sheeting every
place where water stagnates with a
film of oil at the time when the larvae
is about to rise to the surfuce of thei
water. J
The program will, no uount, have a
great appeal to the city officials beI
cause of the fact that the expense Involved
is reduced to a minimum. As
outlined by Mr. Morrison, tho plan
involves tire building of a concrete
pit, fifteen feet long by six feet wide
and live or six feet deep. It Is to he
similar In design and construction to
a drain pit used by filling stations.
Kvery gasoline station and garage
j in the city would be enlisted In the
program to the extent that all oil
[drained from crank cases of cars
would be stored in a drum or metal
container and turned over to the city
at Intervals. The city would collect
all the oil by truck and dump It Into
tho concrete pit. j'
The next step would involve the'
filling of hundreds of cement sacks
| with sand and sawdust. The bags
are then tied and dumped Into the
ioil pit. The bags would be allowed to
'absorb tho oil during the fall, winter
and early spring. In the spring when
the mosquito larva is almost ready to
hatch, the oil soaked sacks are trucked
to every place where water Is
'standing, even along the banks of
, streams and lakes, and tossed Into
tiie water, effectually suffocating the i
| budding "skeeters." i 1
, Mr. Morrison, in support of his plan,
! points to an Inland Florida community j
I
that eliminated the mosquito by this
means. I
In addition, Mr. Morrison also plans'
to survey the city to determine of-'
fenders against health regulations
through failure to remove rubbish, (
tin cans, etc., from their premises atulj1
to keep weeds from promiscuous
growth.

BOWLING TO GET UNDER
WAY EARLY IN 8EPTEMBEK |
(By Skipper)
Well, friends and fellow couulrywon
It will not be long before tbe bowling $
season gets under way In this man's
town. And what an event the opening
of the Camden Bowling Alleys will be ?.
early In September. Our^ guess 1?
that the place will be jammed for tbe
opening night, especially when Mr.
John Q. Public and Mrs. Public find
what a rare treat is in store for them.
The "piece-do-reslstance" for the $
evening's program wiU ftp_ a A
series between the *''city hall gAQg" ' jj
and the "c^urt house p whiizbangs."
Mayor McCorkle believes that he has %
a galaxy of bowling talent In the city J
hall ranks. Take for Instance Joe ?
McKaln, a natural lu sports, Chief
Alva Rush, who will knock 'em dead :<
when he shoots the big ball down the
wooden lane; Clyde Massabeau, Jim p
Raley and Fire Chief Nettles are ^3
others who can be depended upon to pi
cause the court house lads to (ju&ke. *ij
.tip at the court house, the Sheriff ?
Is sitting tight, believing that a dig- ^
ulfled silence, followed by real action J
on the maples, is the "best policy. How- *
ever, the Sheriff has a lot of talent to
back up his defense of court house
honors. Deputy Rush, Judge Arnett,
Dr. Humphries, W. C. McCarley and |
many others will be on the job at the
crucial hour.
Manager Wade, of the alleys, states
that the opening night will be a real
gala affair. Mayor McCorkle, in ad-.
dition to leading the city hall group,
will have the honor of tossing the
first ball down the lane.
The affair will be for ladles and
gentlemen, and as an added feature,
two girl teams will put on a match. ~:r
Laura Mosely will captain one team
and Mary HMen McDowell the other.
Watch the date on your label.
