Which meant) that your Skipper wants fully 1200 grid faun from Cumden In the stands over in the suite capltiil when Camden plays the Colum-j bla Chin). W'hlch will be Armistice' l>uy, November 11. liomember back a year or so when wo all motored over to that ball game between Camden, and the Olyinp!a teams How the state police acted uh escort all the way. * * ? We will not need a motorcade for the grid game, It being a night affair and many of the fans will Journey over In the afternoon and have din uer there. Hut we do wailt to see Old Highway Number 1 carry a stream of hundreds of cars over to Columbia on the eleventh of next month How many of the gang went to Hartsvllle last Friday night? Thoj official ticket laddie said there were about I son people at the game. I'll bet my last year's straw kelly thali half of them were from Camden. [ - ? Hot ZlRgety-?I'll wager that John! Vllleplgue and the rest of the football gang fairly busted the buttons In their vests when they saw that mob In the stands ready to cheer for dear old Camden High Fveti those adorable kids In white, tin- singing cheer leaders, were on deck * What a game, what a game thatj was! I watched some of the fans as the game got under way and noted, the intense concentration In evidence, as they peered out on the field The advanei' d<>p-- on the game, to the ef-' feet that Hartsville would uncork 1 Several tons of dynamite and TNT at the expense of tile Camden creW had | do11e its um k ami tin- Camden cheer-j itig section was en the anxious seat ' ' ' * Less than fi\e minutes later every-! body was breathing easier and sitting; back, wondering Just how big a score the golden avalanche would roll up. The Hartsville victory was the seventh straight for the Bulldogs. We'll let Jerry chortle over the performance of some of the laddies in gold and black. We just want, to say that a team can roll up 155 points as against G scored by opponents In seven games Is really going to town. None of tho toams In the conference have scored on tho Bulldogs. The Mt. Airy team Is the only outfit to cross the Camden goal lino this season. ? ? This week we add what we describe as our "Crying Need Department" and our first writing under this line is as follows: Why doesn't someone Invent devices for radios so that "artists" and long-winded advertising spielers will know when their dear public tunes them nut. If there were a constellation of flashing lights in the studio or of Jangling bells as each radio was switched off their program, the artists might se?-k work for which they are better suited and the spielers might brief their annoying offerings. From Kngland comes the information that there were no mosquitoes during Shakespeare's time. Which | probably explains how It wus possible I for him t<> ?1 p long enough to have u "Midsummer Night's Drvain". Quite h few of <mm friends thought they knew 11 lot about baseball ami freely predicted that tho Cuba would muko the Yanks hustle to win tho world series They called us "nuts" when wo said tho Yunka would win in four strulght If we're nuts, It sure Is great to bo crazy ItiMiu'inliur that last game. Wow, more Cub pitchers passed In review before the Yankee fans than Pershing saw soldiers In a review la France during the war. ? Let's take the two teams and compare them player for player In the words of Hank Mel^einoro. First, there Is no comparison between Hartnet t and Dickey In tho catching department. Dlckoy played all four games and Hart net t was so bad he look himself out of the picture in the fourth game At first place wo have Gehrig for the Yanks and Mrs. Itip Collins for the Cubs. Nuff said. At second the Cubs had hog-fat Herman opposing Flash Gordon. At third base we give the Cubs the odds for Hack had It over Rolfe by a small margin. .)urges at short for the Cubs was terrible. In the outfield the Cubs had Strikeout Reynolds and Miss 'em Deniaree. On the other hand the Yanks had such stars as DiMaggio, Henrich, Houg and Selkirk. Yes sir-e-e-e we give tho Cubs back to Wrlglry and Ford Frlck, providing they'll take 'em. What a lot of suckers there are In the sport world. Baseball fans paid over a million dollars to see that Yankee-Cub series. Let's see how Wrlgley comes out on this deal. The average baseball fans chows one hundred packages of gum a year. So let's not shed any tears over Owner Wrlgley of the Cubs, who Is the largest gum manufacturer in the world. ? Among other tilings that we In South Carolina enjoy escaping arc the hazards of hurricanes. SIX FORESTRY AND STATE PARK EXHIBITS AT FAIRS During the past week tho State Commission of Forestry had forestry or state park exhibits at Spartanburg. Camden. Sumter, Pickens, Florence and Conway fairs. These exhibits were made possible through the courtesy and cooperation of the various fair associations and tho fair secretaries. During the woek of October ltJ-23 the exhibits will be at the State Fair, Columbia, and at the fairs at Laurens, Union, Bennettsville, Kingstree and Lancaster. Roth the forestry and park exhibits contribute materially to tho publicizing of the need and necessity of keeping fire but of tho woods, of proper timber harvesting methods to assure continuous income from woodland, and the need for forest planting. State Forester H. A. Smith stated "the average landowner Is often unaware of the income producing possibilities of woodland. The exhibits arc one of the means used by the State Forest service to bring home to the landowners the fact that values are lost or destroyed when woods burn or are out without regard to future growth or subsequent cuttings.

' ; Camden Winner Over llartsville (By Jerry) Camden )i)Kti Hchool'u mtty men of thy gridiron, with (heir powerj house turned on high, swamped the Hartsvllle lied Fox eleven by a 38 to 0 score under the lights Ht Hartsvllle last Friday night. Doug Lynch stole Individual honors for thy evening and thrilled some 1,700 funs when he broke through center early In the third period and rucod eighty yajds for a touch* down. The Bulldogs ahowed their aupenlorlty from the very flrat, breaking through the Hartavllle line to block Spires punt and recover at midfleld, after the Hod Fox grlddera had found the Camden front line to he a atone wall. Cox ripped over right end hehind nemo nifty blocking and galloped fifty yards for the flrat Cumden score before the game was five minutes old. The extra point was blocked and the Bulldogs went out In front 6 to 0. Camden chalked up another counter early In the second period when it series of lino plays, with Bundrlck and VV. Lynch shuddering the attack, putting them In scoring position on the Hartsvllle four yard stripe. W. Lynch went back to the fifteen and whipped a pass to Cox and the Blond Flash stepped over for the second score of thWRnmo. The pass for the extra point was Incomplete and the Bulldogs led 12 to 0. But the Camden eleven had a touchdown complex. Woq^en Intercepted one of Spires' passes on the forty-five, from where the Lynch -boys and Bundrlck took turns In advancing the ball to llartsvllle s four. A pass, Lynch to Lynch, put the Bulldogs on the one foot line and Bundrlck smashed over left guard for the score. Lynch went through center for the extra point. Score. Cumden lit; Hartsvllle 0. On the kick-off following the score, llartsville took the ball on the tweivtyone and Spires quick-kicked to put Cumden back on their own thirty j yard line. The hard charging Bulldog forward wall opened a big hole at center for Bundrlck. who broke Into the clear and outdistanced the entire llartsville team in a brilliant seventy-five yard gallop for the fourth touchdown of the game. Lynch passed to Lynch for the extra point, and the scoreboard showed Camden 26, llartsville 0, as the half ended. Touchdowns were the word of the evening, so Doug Lynch stepped up the tempo a bit early Inthe third quarter. A fifteen yard penalty had put the Bulldogs back on their own twenty, where It was first and twenty-five. It was here that Uncle Doug took tae spot light as he raced, behind some splendid blocking (some eighty yards), for a touchdown. Score, Camden 32; Hartsvllle 0. The final touchdown of the game came late in the third period. Bell had carried the ball to the Bed Fox three yard stripe, but the Bulldogs gave it up on downs as Hartsvllle dug in to make a gallant goal-line stand. Spires kicked out on the first down and Bundrlck scooped up the ball on the thirty-seven, reversed his field as his teani-mates blocked beautifull). and crossed the. pay stripe standing up Ball's drop for the extra point was short Final score, Camden 3s-.

According to a leading New York j daily, the Luke and Wallie have no Intention of coming to the U. S A. i They do not like the attitude of the J Yanks at all Advises Games Be Played At Home I?y Sclppor Well folks, that Carolina-Davidson pmo at 8 u in tor muy have boon a blessing la disguise?in othor words? one step in a program of games to end games at county fairs That legumes iu which teams like South Carolina, Villa Nova and others take part. Banjo Smith, a sporting writer for 11 Columbia dally has started the fire works and how! Hun jo is all bollod iil> about the game at Sumter and has adopted a slogan of "give the South Carolina grimes back to the South Carolina stadium In Columbia" and If I may say my own little piece good luck to Han Jo. He bus the right Idea. Hanjo In his article relating to the Carolina-Davidson game says that there were about 3.000 people at the game and about 2,000 of thorn paid to get In. The tickets for the game cost $2 20 and of this amount thi^ Sumter fair received about 20 contfAon each ticket, which gave the fair some clear gravy totaling over $400. Imagine paying $2.20 to see a Carolina-Davidson game. Now, had it been Clemson, well?that is another story, and even tlu-n $2.20 is rather steep for college football. If that game at Sumter was worlTT $2"20,~ the games mar here at Camden In which the Bulldogs take part In. should certainly command a I greater fee than four bits. Well, to continue with Banjo. The Columbia sport scribe figured the game cost him well over six bucks. The dust was so deep on the fair igrounds that it cost him a dime to got his shoes polished. He also had to send his suit to the cleaners which was another seventy-five cehts. His throat was so filled wlrti dust he bought some cough medicine to lubricate It. That cost him seventy-five ? uts. Then he had to pay for gas and ,>il to make the trip. Added to these nnancial items he says that he also paid in stress of mind the wear and i-.ur on his brain in driving in eonpstod traffic, had to take an extra I-Ith when he got home to get rid of the dust again and had the discomfort of eating half the dust at the I fair before the game and the other half in getting out after the game. Added to all the grief that Banjo | speaks about, we might add that a majority of the students at South CarC.mu cannot pay for the additional 'expense of making the trip to these county fair bailiwicks to seo their team play. It also means taking a day off from studies. South Carolina has a fine football stadium and that is where the games should be played. Why under the sun leave that structure basking In the sun to go to a make-shift field in some neighboring town. South Carolina plays another county fair game?that with Villa Nova at Orangeburg. If I were a student at South Carolina and had hut little finances to go on, 1 would resent taking that game out of Columbia. 1 he students are entitled to see these games at a minimum of expense. So far as drawing power is concerned, the game would draw mor*- people in Columbia than at OmngebuVAnd added to all that Banjo and myself have pointed out Is just another reason why the games should he played in Columbia and that is? the elimination of traffic hazards. For when college students or people In general travel to games in mob numbers and in autos, there is always the danger of accidents. Why court them? So. Bill Harth, you of the Gamecock athletic department, please give the Carolina games back to the Gamecock fans and to the University. DANGER OF FIRE IS FAR GREATER AT THIS SEASON A graph prepared by the National Hoard of Fire Underwriters shows that fire losses usually increase at an Harming rate from September to December. "The reason for this is obvious," states the hoard. "People start :hotr stoves and furnaces as soon as ool weather arrives; in many cases leglecting to check over their heat.ng plants. As a result, "there i* an epidemic of serious fires from defec tve equipment." Soot-loaded chimneys are a major hazard It Is important to check ip on chimneys for cracks and holes, and to clean the flues every year. Flue linings are essential for safety. Also, sagging, rusted smoke pipes <-ausn trouble. Sparks may fly out and start a fire. Don't tako this chance! Install a new pipe a safe distance from combustibles. Another causo is overheated stoves and furnaces, the result of poor maintenance and faulty operation. If jou don't get as much warmth afl you should, the heater Is probably out of order. You should consult a heating expert. Never "force" the fire In cold weather. Keep your heating plant clean and In good repair. Use metal containers for hot ashes. For safety a sake check your heating equipment now, before real cold weather seta In. Feed Most Important In Egg Production Tho hun makes eggs from thu food , that is given her, and the number |thut siio can produce depends upon I tiie amount and efficiency of the (ration, assorts County Agent VV. C. ( McCarley. j "In order to make maximum profjit," the agent continues, "it is lmperitativu that a large proportion of tho j year's production of eggs be secured J between October 1 and March 1, the , season of relatively high ogg prices." | Therefore, the revised edition of Extension Circular 131, "Feeding laying I Hens," is particularly timely and coi>ies may now be secured from the county agent's office or from tho Publication Department at Clemspn. | Since feed makes up approximately 180 per cent of the flock cost other than labor and egg production makes up approximately 70 per cent of the income, these two items are the most (important factors determining prof-1 i its. To'keep the former at a minimum (and the latter at a maximum can be I accomplished only by intelligent sej lection and preparation of rations and 'systematic feeding. | Both poultrymen and farm flock owners would do well to study the (rations and methods of feeding suggested in Circular 131. These recom] inundations, based on experiments and practical experiences, are well suited to South Carolina conditions and their use will give increased profits on flocks that are now poorly fed.
