Friday, March 15, 1M0 A CRUEL HOAX Scores of blind poople and hundreds of their friends have been victimised by u cruel hoax which occurs In various parts of the country and which bus been runnlnK now for over two years. According to this hoax, a blind person can secure a Seeing Kyo (log by saving tlnfoll^igarette pupers, empty paper mat oh folders, etc. These stories are entirely without foundation but considerable credence is placed In t hem because hundreds of thousands of match folders have been saved for this purpose. The Seeing Kyo employs no solicitors of any kind whatsoever and anyone claiming to represent tho organization and accepting contributions for It, and who Is not Identified with one of the organization's several committees. which are composed of outstanding citizens, the Seeing Kye does not participate In, nor authorize Its name to be used in connection with, any fund-raising events or benefits. tag days, "sales," or any event for which tickets are sold, and any organization or group claiming to raise funds In such manner Tor The Seeing Kye is doing so without authorization. Blind men and women using Seeing Kye dogs are frequently tremendously hindered by the kindly Intentlonod offers of assistance from people who, In attempting to help, sometimes seriously interfere with the coordination of dog and blind student. The general public van best cooperate with blind people and their Seeing Kye dogs by leaving them strictly alone. Frequently, a kindly person will take a Seeing Kye graduate's arm as ho is about to cross the street. To do so is as dangerous as it would be to cause a seeing person to stumble, for such an action can seriously disrupt the harmonious functioning of the dog and his master.

A Double Value In Stable Manure Clemson, Feb. 5.?Would you buy $20.62 worth of commercial fertilize." and pile it out in the barn3'ard until you found it convient to put it on the land? This pertinent question C. G. Cushmun. dairy specialist of the extension service, asks farmers to impress upon them the value of farm measure a nd the importance of Its "proper care' and distribution. I "Manure has two values, the com-j inerical and the agricultural value",i says Mr. Cushman. j "Its commerical value is determined by applying the current price per pound of the elements in common fertilizer materials to the amount of those elements contained in manure. That value, based on current prices of fertilizing elements in compost, is $26 62 per 1,000 pound dairy cow per > ear." < The agricultural value of manure, t'lishman explains, is based on the in'Tease in, crop yield where manure u-ed. This varies with the amount u-i <1. soil conditions." crop, valuo of he crop unit. etc. Many experiments show that the agric ultural vnhie r.f manure is great r 'h iti the value indicated by. the . h?-mic a I content", he says. "This would he especially true on the poor r South Carolina soils where th? addi'ion caf organic matter is so necessary in addition to the Immediate ciaip return, manure has a residual \ aluo sinc e the plant food it contains and the favorable soil conditions it brings about last more than one year.

First and foremost, countless home's are deprived of their breadwinner because lie's somewhere on the western front. This often means that the mother must take a hand, and work in some munitions factory or other._ wartime Industry. " And if the husband isn't drafted, he at least must work longer hours. Even children must do their bits. They are engaged in all sorts of outside aotivities such as collecting old paper, tin and metal for Field Marshal Herman Goering's economic organizations. Life has become simpler and more primitive, revolving about fuel, food and clothing, rather than cultural refinements. Social intercourse is dampened, too, by blackouts. Unheated and crowded street cars, passing by at long intervals further hamper movement among the people. The biggest complaint, however, is over cold apartments and offices. The severe winter has made many people spend much time in bed to keep warm, closed countless theatres and swept the nation with colds, flu and rheumatism. \'"\t afi?*r the fuel problem romes that of proper food There's enough for everybody to live and maintain health, but how to supply balanced rations to the family is a grave problem for most housewives. That the nation goes without coffee is only a minor deprivation But the absence of fresh vegetables and the scarcity of fresh fruit are something more serious. For the average hausfrau life has become infinitely harder as a result of the war She must make dally mathematical calculations on how to 1 use the rations Indicated on her provision and clothes cards without running into waste and coming up at the end of the month with her cards all out of proportion She must stand in line and often take "no" for an answer when she is entitled by her ration card but which the storekeeper Just doesn't have Boor, standardized soap and the restriction on hot water in apartim-nts adds to Saturday and Sunday worries the German hausfrau, noted for hefT cleanliness. .

It is an Interesting fact that the extreme cold weather prevailing in the entire country during Jauuary and February affected training In the sand hill section of the ^Id-South, less than In any other area, and as a result the horses will be ready for the call. A recent survey of the Carolinas revealed some one hundred and fifty horses being shaped for the steeplechase season, involving meetings at Sandhills, Aiken aud Camden. Here in Camdon, H. Granger Qalther has 22 steeplechasers in training for, F. Ambrose Clark. Among them are Castle Town, Fay Cottage, Horner Wood, La Touche, Court Jester and Sail Maker, who came from England last fall.

Included in the Camden group are Kilkenny and Winsome Girl, Ryan is also training Faction Fighter and Escape III, Rustic Romance aud Robson Scott, Enterprise, Home Sweet Home, Frozen North, Bulveta and others. Mrs. Marion duPopt Scott has 13 steeplechasers in training.

Crawford, Oleg Dubassoff, Thomas Hitchcock, Sr., Miss Bruner Huunenann, Louis Stoddard, Jr., Abe Wolfe and Raymond Wolfe, all have 'chasers in training for the series of race meets in the mid-South. Others in the area are Mrs. George Wutts Hill, of Durham, N. C.; Mrs. William J. Kennedy, Clyde Taylor and Geoffrey A. Laing, all of Southern Pines. Race is Decade Old The history of the Carolina Cup dates from tho beginning of the last decade, the first running taking place on March 23, 1930. It was a thrilling race, according to the sport writers' accounts and was won by Ballast 2nd, owned and ridden by Noel- Laing. The second running in 1931 was won by Sea Soldier, owned by the Mill Creek stables and ridden by J. V. H. Davis. The third running was won by Trouble Maker, owned by Mrs. Thomas Somerville and ridden by S'oel Laing. Pink Tipped won the fourth running. Pink Tipped was owned by Richard K. Mellon and "wa?~rMden by " William* B. Street. Charioteer, owned by Mrs. T. E. Proctor, Jr., and ridden by J. P. McCormick, was winner of ihe fifth running, while Paul Mellon's Drinmore Lad, ridden by J. E. Ryan :ook the sixth classic. Indigo,, owned oy the Northwood Stables and ridden by Charles White, won the seventh, md the eighth went to Mrs. G. H. Bostwlck's Fugitive, with Randolph Duffoy up. The ninth running went to Mrs. Prank M. Gould's Ostend, with Hehry Frost, Jr., up. The tenth running was captured by Faction Fighter from the ftokeby stables of Paul Mellon, with Sydney Watters up. It might be mentioned in passing that while any suggestion as to any outstanding entries in the Cup classic! this year would bo premature in that J it is early yet for the filing of entries,) however. there is a general belief that Faction Fighter will be in the) field when the horses line up on the, thirtieth of March. Race Day a Colorful Event Race day in Camden has always j been a colorful pageant. Beneath j | sunny skies and amidst a background of tall pines, the scene is gay and I picturesque. The hunt race group represents a cross section of society I ind sport. For the women who make up a goodly portion of the crowd, it Is a fashion showing of the very latest in sport clothes and ensembles. Photographers and news reel operators wander through the throng taking pictures of individuals who are prominent in the social and sport ranks. VOTERS SHOULD . SECURE CERTIFICATES . This is election year and many needs will arise for use of county registration certificates. It is reported, that so far there are but a small percentage _nf voters In possession of registration certificates. Thero will be need for theso certificates in the general election and perhaps in special elections this fall. Those who have not registered since 1938 may get certificates at the court house next Monday, the first Monday in March, and on each succeeding first Monday.
