FARMERS NOW KEEPING
RECORD OF THEIR ACTIVITIES
Farmers, faruiwlven, ami the farm
youth. uow keep accurate records of
their fanning activities, said Mia.
G. Irby, Home Management. Supervlaor
of the Fariu Security Adiulliiatrution
in Kershaw county
"In the past farmers have shied off
from keeping records, hut last year
many kept them for the first time and
found them very useful," said Mrs.
Irby. "Some of the farmors thought
they were keeping them for the F8A,
but when they leu.rpcd that the record
hooka were tor t.^etr own use to show
them where tUpy were making money
or upending it unwisely, their interest
quickened.
"Many of them were surprised to
learn that their sales of vegetables,
outside work, livestock products and
such were bringing iheiu more money
thgu some of the regular farm crops.
They would not have knowu this if
they had not kept a record book.
As a result of the knowledge gained
from the record book, better farm
plans huve been developed and will
make more money for them this year.
Mrs. Irby pointed out that many of
the farmwives learned to make money?and
to spend is wisely. They also
learned that much can be done
with the money made from sales of
eggB. handicraft and flowers.
"We urge all farm families, to keep
accurate records because It will help
them on a farm quicker and aid them
In having a more comfortable living,"
said Mrs. Irby.

A MEMORIAL
The death of Miss Ellen Kllerbe recently
mark* to a great extent iu our
aectlon the passing of a fragment of
the old South. Of those who were
active members of the local church
from 1901 to 1910 chiefly during the
incumbency of the Kev. Mr Barnwell.
but few remain Those who
were member* of the Sunday School
are mature fathers or mother* and
probably soon will be grand father*
and grandmother*. Just as tho anniversary
at Dlnkina Mill recalled.
"Kvery lie that bound u*." to that
community, ao tho death of Ml**
Ellen Kllerbe recalls her co-operation
and leadership In the work of tho
church and happy days on the Kllerbe
plantation.
It Is fitting to pay tribute to those
who lived then, to whose kindness
and hospitality one Is deeply lndebt0(1
Here at Millvale lived the three
Kllerbe ladles with those of their
brothers who wxjre residents then.
Just as was so customary in tho low
country plantation homos, the house
Is situated on the water course and
located so that a broad canal flows
In front of the house. There was then
and is now a mill there. Briefly, the
location Is unique among many sites
of plantation houses or homes. At no
great distance was the home of Elliott
Kllerbe. One may travel far outside
tho Southern States, but this writer
has had no greater privilege than the
enjoyment of the hospitality and
kindness extended to him In such
homes and the uplift of spirit experienced
through tho refinement of
manners which prevailed therein. It
is like Something precious which la
gone, and can't be replaced or reproducer!
in the stress and strain of
the present area.
The Episcopal church at Hagood
was for many years Indebted to the
care and work of the Ellerbe family.
First in the building of the church
and Its adornment, as well for their
.knowledge of what was proper end
fitting In its services and their close
attention and sacrifice of time in perfecting
the surroundings of the
church building. It was to them, Indeed,
God's House, and a reverent
consideration for all that pertains to
it marked their efforts to influence
others to regard it as such. So little
1b ever said of thought seemingly of
devotion in good works, but it is a
most precious part of character. The
church will miss this devotion, extended
and applied so many years by
members of the Ellerbe family, and

MORE LEGS, LESS BACK
FORECAST BY ADRAIN
Hollywood, Auk. 17-?Skirts are
Retting shorter and legs ure coming
back.
That's whut happened during the
last war and that's what the present
war will do to fall and winter
fashions, declares Adrain, Metro Goldwyn-Mayer
designer.
Woouomy, and not an aesthetic appreciation
of a well-turned calf, will
bring about the current change, Adrian
said. With the scarcity of wool,
suits will have shorter skirts and
will waste no material on pleats, fullness
or flares. In dresses, home-made
calico will be preferred to silk aud
satin Importations, for "America must
| depend on its own material."
Hut to make up for showing more
j of her legs, milady will cover up
her shoulders. High necklines and

In other words, it looks as though
they'll, cut it off the bottom and tack
it on the top. Which, to the mere
male, sounds about as logical as most
femine fashions are.
The American Federation of I^abor
Is opposed to compulsory military
training until a time when such action
became "necessary to defend,
protect and preserve America." In a
statement by President William
Green, the federation said that a voluntary
enlistment program should be
laufiched to create an army of a million
and a half men. "In providing an
adequate army for defense purposes,"
Green said, "the American way should
be followed j
