It fusion, of the Camden lluptist church, a short but Impressive service wiih held at the morning hour of worship. After the devotional everclses, and the rendering of un anthem by the choir, It. ? IMtts arose and In a few remarks stated the object of the remaining part of the service. He, then called upon W. t). Wilson, senior deacon, to preside. He, In turn called upon representatives. from the different departments of the church, who reported great progress under the leadership of Mr. Custom The greetings from Mrs. It. C. IMtts, president of the Woman's Missionary society, and V. J. Rector, superintendent of the Sunday school, were particularly Impressive, and were Indicative of the love and esteem all the departments of the church have for their pastor. Mr. Wilson then spoke In behalf of the congregation at large, making brief mention of the numerical and spiritual growth of the church during the last ten years, under the able leadership of Mr. Custom and expressed the hope that It would be the Divine will for him to remain here as pastor for many more years. At the conclusion of hts remarks, he then on behalf of the church, presented to Mr. Canton as a slight token of their love and esteem, a handsome sterling silver pitcher and tray, suitably engraved. Mr. Cartion feelingly responded to the congratulations of his congregation. and pledged anew his earnest efforts to be of service to this church and community. The congregation Joined in singing AuId Lang Syne." after which the Lord's Supper was partaken of, which ended tht^ morning service. Shade Trees Temper Heat The great value of shade trees was clearly demonstrated by the recent temperature reading in South Carolina, says the State Forest service. Thermometer readings In the sun recently went as high as 120 degrees yet those in the shade registered slightly ^ over 101 degrees, thus giving a differ- ^ once of 19 degrees In favor of shaded J areas. I The value of shaded highways, ^ streets and business districts is gen- ^ erally appreciated by forward looking ^ citizens, some city officials and parJlcularlv by city planners but the uv- ( ,-rage citizen usually thinks of shade ^ tr-es and their ben.-tits only insofar as residential sections and farm i esidptices arc concerned. However. ^ shoppers, highway travellers and those ( whose duties carry them out in the mid day suu are made more comfort- ^ abie by the presence of shade trees. ( ^ Many towns and cities lose their ^ beauty' and sacrifice the comfort of ( their i ItUens by eliminating the shade ^ (mm the main thoroughfares or by fnillng to provide for their needs ^ or replacement. j j In addition to shielding people, side-^ walks, street paving and the tops and ( tildes of buildings from the sun. large ^ shade trees transpire several hundred gallons of water daily and thereby aid } in reducing the temperature of the mi: rounding air. j "Almost everyone is alert to the fact that trees add beauty to towns., cities ami highways hut it takes a siege of hot weather to make us real-' ize how much they add to our physical comfort if present or how unfortur.a-e w e are if they are la. king." said ( St .'e Forester H A Smith ' F lue announced Tuesday, the (lis- ' , , v ... v f a Lotllb near the Flitted S-.t'es embassy, in Mexico City, under suspicious < ir. uinstances. 1 he announcement said a patrolman on duty i a few hundred feet from the embassy a at i do p in. saw two suspicious-look-, t ing mem who th when the policeman J approached 1 hey dropped a clumsy ' package wrapp.nl in newspapers, < which turned out to he a . rude bomb. |? Green Soybeans For Summer Grazing Clemaon, June 24.?"The low price of hogs makes It all the more Important that South Carolina farmers produce .wrfc.as cheap as possible," says A. L. DuRant. extension livestock specialist, who advises green soybeans for valuuble summer grazing. "Experiments conducted by the South Carolina Experiment station show green soybeans to be one of the best summer grazing crops for hogs, Mr. DuRant continues. "Many farmers In this state now have green soybeans that they can use to advantage for grazing. The pigs should be turned on when the soybeans are about one foot high." Mr. DuRant says that a full ratloq of corn and a protein supplement such as fish meal, tankage, or a mixture of equal parts of cottonseed meal and tlsh meal or tankage should be fed to plge while grazing on soybeans. A self-feeder may be used where the pigs can eat free-choice, or each pig may be given one-half pound per day of this protein supplement and all the corn It will eat. Barley or oats may be substituted for part of the corn ration. Plenty of shade and an abundance of fresh water should be supplied at all times. "This method of feeding will get the pigs on the market as early as possible, which should be of particular advantage this year since a heavy run of hogs Is expected on the market in the fall." the specialist concludes. KERSHAW COUNTY LANDOWNERS PLANT 170,530 FOREST TREES landowners in Kershaw county during the past season planted 170,530 trees on farm lands of the county. Much of the land planted being unsulted for cultivation had been In an unproductive condition for a number of years. ' Many farmers took advantage of benefit payments made available for tree planting as specified under the Agricultural Adjustment program. Recent observations of trees planted during the past, winter showed a survival of from 80 to 90 per cent for oblollv and slash pine, while longleaf line survival was some lower. Favorible weather conditions contributed argely to the general success obtainI Ml. The following is a list showing luantltles of trees by species that vere planted in the county during the >ast planting season: Longleaf, 39.000; slash, 80.530; lobolly, 43,000; black walnut, 2,000; toal. 170,530. Landowners are rapidly coming to eallze the value of planting trees as l part of their regular farm program iml are likewise beginning to depenl note than ever on the farm woodlot is a constant source of income. State forest tree nurseries at Georgetown, Sumter and Camden are trowing seedlings for distribution to andowners at cost of production dur ng the coming planting season, l)e* ember through February.

Change of Scene Every few months some scribe writes of his town in the local newspapers as follows: "If our people were aware of the beauty of this city and its countryside, they would never take their vacation elsewhere." The assumption, of course, ie-Tlxal. we seek beautiful natural settings when we go on a holiday. Some of us are pleased to see fine scenery, but what we want most of all on a vacation Is a change. Even a change for the woj-Be is better than no change at all. We crave a change of view, of faces, of food, of activity, of clothes, even of language. A person really isn't ready for a vacation unless he is in a mood that makes him eager to get just as far away from every familiar scene and person as his money will take him. The desire to get away and take a chance on what he finds at the end of the road is evidence that he needs a rest, if he is seriously concerned with the beds and the menus at his destination, he might better stay right at home. | The ideal time to terminate a vacation would be about four days after the first yearnings for home and work are noticed. When you begin to get restless and uncomfortable, the vacation is over. You have taken the cure and recovered. | A noted physician once advised a rich patient to take frequent short vacations instead of an occasional long vacation. The ideal length of time for recuperation, this doctor said, is three weeks each are better than a single vacation of three months, ac-' cording to this theory.?Imperial Magazine. , COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS (By Spectator) j Shall the highway department con- { truct an office building for itself? Up- 1 oil first hearing of it I shouted with ( the chorus No! I have a "sneaking ' suspicion" that there are too many ( offices, typewriters (typists, too) operating at the expense of the state. As a general practice It is quite prop- ( er to swat a'fly, and I favor swatting 1 every new office. That applies to of- 1 flee buildings, also. A poor man would do well to curb his appetite < and reduce his girth whenever his ) clothes become too tight. Just so. I I favor periodical diets for the state so ' that It may not bulge at the waist If you feed a man rich, starchy, sweet 1 and fat foods and buy new clothes as 1 fast as he expands, his wardrobe will 1 soon look like a second-hand clothing ! store And so with the state; it has 1 grown fat and soft ! About that highway building. I a:n i opposed to that building. 1 was asked ' by a sturdy senator recently if my op- < position to the highway building were I based on knowledge or on prejudice i That came as a shock to me. for a I minute 1 had joined in the atml < chorus, believing that the highway do* 1 partment had become so puffed up ami swanky that it was planning an i office building as a bit of conceit ami I vainglorious exhibition. Said the senator to me: "Did you . know a governor named Olln I). John ] ston?" Yes. indeed, I knew Governor Johnston; knew him pleasantly 1 "Well, was Governor Johnston a friend I to the highway department?" Truth compelled me to admit that once or < twice 1 thought Governor Johnston ] was lacking In warm, brotherly love for the said department and hud on one or two occasions indicated an unfriendly spirit toward It. "Well, ho. Governor Olin D. Johnston, signed the order for the highway department to erect its own office building and to vacate the spaee it now occupies^ Well, the world came crashing down on my head. Did Olin do that? Well. I'll bo homswoggled; "who'd a thunk it?" In pursuit of truth?and I'm hot in behind It, whether I ever catch up or not?I demanded to be shown the records. Well, the records show that at a meeting of the Sinking Fund commission of South Carolina, held on ithe first day of November of 1938 a notice was sent to the State Highway commission and such an order was formulated which 1 quote verbatim, literatim et punctuatim, to wit: "The State Sinking Fund commission hereby authorize you to purchase land in the city of Columbia and to erect thereon an office building for your uses,", etc. And it was signed by Governor Olin D. Johnston. Well, now, if this idea of a building is not something which Ben Sawyer tried to put over; but, on the contrary, is an Idea, a meritorious proposal, a statesmanlike plan, sweetened to taste by Governor Johnston himself?'then what was the reason for such a building? Now we that Governor Maybank is not the sort of man to go out of his way to help the highway department; he has not mobilized the navy of the state In the Congaree river In order to repell any invasions by the highway department. This proves that this governor does not think it necessary to suppress the highway insurrection with military or naval force. Governor Maybank is not an enemy of any public service and in my Judgment the highway department could trust the governor to do the right thing without prejudice. Bui, while Governor Maybank is no enemy of the highway department he has shown a certain independence of criterion which makes me put my finger on the fact that he favored the construction of an office building and on the second day of November. 1938, telegraphed to Washington urging favorable consideration of the application requesting federal funds to aid In the construction of an office building for the South Carolina state high- ' way department." So on November 1,. governor Johnston was In favor of > :his building and on November 2, Gov-( ?rnor Maybank (then Mayor of Char-' eston) telegraphed to Washington inlorsing the project. Spectator, as a diligent seeker after i .ruth, has found that the secretary, ,f tho Sinking Fund commission, (vrote a letter to the highway department and told those boys to get out. Those of us who know F. C. Robinson, j Lhe secretary, know that he wrote a J eter to the highway department and .old those boys to get out. Those of is who know F. C. Robinson, the sec etary, know that he wrote a polite etter , but the mean of the matter was to vamoose, pull bp your pegs, pack your duds or light a rag. As rou see, it was perfectly clear that Mr. RoblnBon meant to put Ben Sawder out. In fact, Mr. Robinson wrote i long letter about it and In that letter he said, "You will see from the ibove that both buildings will be com pletely occupied and that there will not be any available space for the highway, department. And by March, 591 Mr.coso4 ,oxSu(n n hrdlu brdlu ri 1940. it will be necesaary for the highway department to vacate the space' used by it." In other words, says the I 31nklng Fund commission to Colonel Ben Sawyer and his cohorts Scram! , Ml of which strikes me as being fairly plain. ! Now having got all this off m> mind, [ repeat my opposition to another of-, (Ice building. What does interest me is that a lot jt us?and Spectator is one of them?, have gone off half-cocked. The faul ^ Is not entirely ours. The highway department should have given - these facts to the newspaper. It should take the people more Into consideration by giving out information. Instead of being the giant behemoth, treading heavily over opposition and breathing fire from its nostrils, I am almost persuaded that the big highway department is Just a poor little boy whom we bad men are mistreating and throwing rocks at. Well, r*ii! The highway department may be a body of competent workers; it may build good roads and bridges; it may have organized an efficient patrol; it may even be a supremely competent organization?most people say it is? but it certainly has let a hostile opinion pervade the state without knowing how to deal with the public. Instead of a vainglorious strut, I find that the department was ordered by the landlord to get out, and by the governor to put up a building. Well, well! Weather hot? Down my way we've * had so much rain that broiling weather is needed to stagger old Bre'r Wee- ' vil. So, I can't complain. When the weather man says its c?nt in the shade I hope old frtJU?'**weevil is { getting it in the neck at 120 per cent. ' I think I can hold out at 100 per cent as long as he can take it at 120 per cent.

The female woodcook carries the downy young from a place of danger, flying with them, one at a time, between her thighs. The woodcock breeds in the northeastern United States and Eastern Canada, and winters far enough south to find soft earth tor its flexible, probing bill. Lynn Bogue Hunt painted the woodcock for the 1939 Wildlife Week poster stamps, distributed by the National Wildlife Federation. Bloodthirsty, But Bashful I The bobcat, also called wildcat or bay lynx, la only slightly smaller than lta cousin, the Canadian lynx. The bobcat was at one time found In every section of the country where there were forests. A big bobcat will weigh 85 or 40 pounds. Wildcats prey on small animals, and climb trees when V hunted with dog*; In Michigan the bounty was removed from bobcats because of the sport they afford hound-owners. Although the bobcat's blood-curdling cries have terrified many a wayfarer, wildcats are very "~"9 shy of man, and are rarely seen. The bobcat was painted by John J.
