Chairman Norman H. Davis reported Increases of ten to forty per cent in the volume of work pertaining to Red Cross operations at Army, Navy and Marine Corps stations throughout the nation, in recent raonthB. Describing Red Cross welfare work) as a vital part of national defense, Mr. Davis said his organization had completed?plans to expand ltB services In proportion to the growth of the military forces. "Review of- the Red Cross peacetime program of the past 20 years," Mr. Davis stated in a report on activities, "has satisfied the U. S. War and Navy Departments that the work as conducted at present by the "American Red Cross constitutes one of the most essential phases of national defense, since It bears directly upon that factor which underlies all aspects of military lifo?morale." The report states that the past year has brought a forerunner of what may bo In store for the Red Cross. "The widespread movement of troops Incidental to .the reorganisation of the Army and the maneuvers In the field resulted In many dislocations among families and other dependents of the enlisted men afTected," the report continues. "Individual chapters have reported Increases as high as 40 per cent in the number of welfare problems tliey have handled for mem/hers of tl^e Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard and their families," the report states. "While the increase for all chapters has averaged 11 per cent, not since the World Wdr have so many men been Bubject to sudden transfers to new stations or to assignments for training at distant-points. This has called for many adjustments in family life, which for the enlisted man. on his limited pay, is often a difficult matter." The Red Cross maintains medical social service staffs in the general Army and Navy hospitals. "An advance has been noted in the number of requests from medical officers to Red Cross medical social service staffs for aid in determining and solving environmental, personal and family anxieties which retard medical treatment," the report states, "about 20 per cent of the patients apply to the Red Cross for this specialized service." Activities of Gra/y Ladies in federal hospitals, and of Junior Red Cross members, have greatly increased, ac-j cording to the report. >J A NOTICE OF TAX SALE To M. L.

November 15?Presldent Roosevelt yesterday authorised a $1,000,000,000 Increase in the mortgage insurance .fund provided hy the Federal Housing Act, raising the amount available for this purposo to the $4,000,000,000 limit fixed by Congress. The President acted on a recommendation by Jesse Jones, Administrator of the Federal Ixmn Agency, who said tho Fodoral Housing Administration would be unable to continue operations after Decembor 1, unless, tho amount of outstanding mortgages was increased. The Federal Housing Administration is being operated as soundly as a private business. The premium ehargo for Insuring mortgages is only one-half of 1 per cent. From this income and a small Inspection fee of $3.00 a thousand, expenses of operation are being paid and.yODLJiiUh. stantial insurance fund is being created. This fund now amounts to something over $31,000,000. Secretary of War Stlmson is planning to make a brief Inspection of Army training centers in the South In the next few days and also will go to New Orleans to address the American Federation of Labor convention on November 18. He will make the trip by plane. Mr. Sttmson said at a press conference Thursday that tho question of labor relations was exeremely important in national defense. "The conduct of labor so far has been admirable," he said. "It Is vital to our program that these relatione be maintained and cultivated on a sort of 'partnership' basis." Mr. Sttmeon, one of the two Republicans "drafted" to head the War and Navy posts in the Roosevelt cabinet, was asked again Thursday about rumors of an Impending resignation. "Do I look as If I ought <to resign?" he countered with a wide smile* . 'I have bo plans of resigning and so far as I Hpqw nobody has any plans to. make me resign." Jobs as bandsmen for musically-talented selective trainees were assured Thursday when the anny announced plans for the organization of new military bands at each of the 21 special replacement centers. Three bands for colored units of the regular army and redesign at Ion of other existing army bands are included in the plans. Each of the replacement hands will consist of 28 unrated selective service trainees as playing members, and four regular army bandsmen-instructors. They will be organized concurrently with the opening dates of*the widely scattered centers, announcmeent of which is to be made later. Combating German propaganda will be one way the Inter-American Commission of Women will protect the "indisoluable union" of the Artiericas, Senora Ana Rosa de Martinez Guerrerb of the Argentine said Thursday. The Germans want Argentina to stand isolated, she said, distrusted by both the United States and other .South American countries. Delegates to the commission, which adjourned Thu-sday night, will go home entrusted with the task of warning people of their countries, in tho streets and factories, not to believe that Argentina does not like other Bouth American republics and does not like the United States. Democratic governments have not' the power to prohibit German propaganda, the speaker pointed out. The refusal to believe must come from the people themselves. , Evidence bearing on alleged activities Of German and Italian agents In the United States was given a number one spot Thursday before the Dies committee on' un-American activities. With the state department interposing ino objections, Chairman Dies an' nounced that the committee would resume its work next Monday or Tues1 day. centering attention on the operai tion of German and Italian consuar or i other agents in this country. There is a possibility that congress may vote for adjournment next Tuesday, until January, 1941. However, at ibis writing It is not known definitely Just what action will toe taken.

Na.v, hrother; there's very little fodder In thin day of advanced agriculture. Down here we would have to say when the frost la on the 'tutors' and the hay la in the barn- and even that won't do, because they toll us to dig (grabble) latere afore ary frost bites the vine and prcdiaposee the luscious yam to rot. L, i , .r . .... A recent effort to popularise pork tells us that a distinguished chemist find* that lean pork is rich In vitamin B, and that one pork chop supplies the profound learning will discover that Well, in course of time some man of profuud learning will dim-over that the old-time heavy breakfast was the real foundation of America's greatness, for after ham and eggs, waffles, battercakes, or muffins, the American wont forth to the dally battle of life and "sooked" adversity on the jaw. When our men left -home with a snug fit at the waistband their physical well-being was proclaimed in an all-embracing exuberance which carried the day. Today, with a little vegetable juice and a cracker we sneak to our work with an Inferiority complex and duck as soon as Homebody sneezes. There aw times when 1 think one of the moot civilizing Influences Is a ham sandwich. By ham sondwkjh I don't mean a piece of ham like a small strip of tissue paper; but something mansized, say ham a half-inch thick between mother's biscuits. Oh, boy! Of course a lot of stufT which passes off for food may be all right; but no all-conquering spirit can be generated from a lettuce leaf and dab of salad dressing. As long as old Britain feeds her boys red moat and big puddings those lads will fight. If our plan-Is to produce a nation of yes-men, why let the lads quaff weak tea and tomato juice. I had not thought of this before, but when we needed a leader in this country the great Democracy could find only one man. As he is fond of hot dogs?and such like?It might be that the rest of us would do well to "go in for" hot dogs, ham/burgers (all the way) and the other roadside delectable which make men great. ? - Well the election is over and goes down in history/ It was a singular campaign in many of its phases. The Democrats not only disregarded all their sages, and advocated a third term, hut the Republicans, long the Party entrusted with power, oould find no public man with a wide popular appeal, and had to ohoee a businessman of fighting qualities, who caught the imagination and the fancy of the people. There is no clear-cut policy of either Party which permits one's political allegiance to mean more than a label. Long ago, In the days of the simple life, when men were just ordinary people, and not giants of intellect, as they are today, we could distinguish between, a Democrat and a Republican. Here in the South, we thought of Republicans as those who had put carpetbag rule on us and had so "doctored" the tariff that Southern farmers were in perpetual bondage to Northern industrialists. But since our Democratic Party has done nothing about the tariff, and has "gone after" the Colored vote with an energy, zeal and enthusiasm almost inc- edible, the party label means nothing. I don't know what the Republicans will do, when they get an opportunity; today their principal plank is anti-Roosevelt, though they seem to swallow most of his policies. What has happened? Just this: nearly everybody can vote; so today anything, everything, which I can win votes is offered. Since the beginning of time?or very soon afterwards?some few got, acquired, or secured, more than others. As people , multiplied, the ! number of men without property increased more rapidly than the number j with property. Now, since Abraham, | If not before, those without property (envied those with property;- but only j recently have politicians unashamedJ ly offered every conceivable thing to voters, however fantastic, in order to ride to power. Whenever some one says that we should have lawyers in our Legisla ture, how does It Impious u farmer? He, would not be struck with ndmlratlon if he should study the CoustltutIon of our State, 'or some of our statutes. I doubt If any farmer could do worse than has boon done. Let ua see: Section 17 of Article 8 says that "Rvery Act or resolution having the force of law shall relate to but one subject, and that shall be expressed In the title". Clearly a bill relating to tftfo local affairs of Oconee County, and That expressed lu the title, cannot constitutionally carry an extra provision dealing with other matters of state-wide import. That Is clear If language means anything and if we respect the Constitution. But riders or bobtails are common practice, so that a bill with one subject passes by unnoticed, oftentimes, because something entirely different, and unrelated, has been tacked on. All such measures should be challanged In the oourts and a watohful cltixenehlp should be alert to Heep the stream of legislation reasonably clear. Another section commonly disregarded Js 32 of Article 3: JL'The General Assembly shall not authorire payment to any person of the salary of a deceased officer beyond the date of his death.71 This is so plain that I wonder how the Legislature gets around It, unless it tries a quibble, assuming that since the Constitution forbids payment after the date of death; and since death is a continuing state or condition, the salary should continue, too. But the plain intent of the Constitution should guide us; cot word twisting and Juggling. Of course we recall the clear inhibition against holding two offices or positions. Any work is either an office or a position, obviously. Thj intent of the Constitution is manfest; but the language Itself is as limpid as a translucent mountain stream. An interesting question is that of tax-exempt property. The Constitution in exempting property of counties, towns, schools, colleges, "charitable, institutions in the nature of aslylums for the infirm, deaf, dumb, blind, Idiotic and Indigent persons;" also libraries, churches., parsonages; burying grounds, says "That as to roal estate, this exmeptlon shall not extend beyond the buildings and premise? actually oocupied by them, although connected with charitable objects In the same section the Supreme law says: "Property of associations and societies, although connected with charitable objects, shall not be exempt from State, # County or Municipal taxation". In epite of the custom which has been in effect, since the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, the Constitution declares the ancient law' with great clarity; yet the Geatral Assembly and City Councils have frequently granted exemptions contrary to this easily understood prohibition. Could former* do worse? No; rather better, I think; for a farmer would apply the law according to Its oh. lous purport. He would liot try to prove that a club Is not a society, or that a society Is not an organization. The letter Of the law killeth," hut ! the spirit giveth life 1 re-oaJl. Until we respect the spirit of our Const!tu tion, why talk about a new Confitltu tlon? Wo need a new attitude of respect for law, more than a new j fundamental law. How much revenue has been lost to the state, counties and towns thru unlawful exemptions will never be known, but I think It spore than a trifle. In some cases endowed charl- table institutions have acquired farms, stores and town houses through foreclosures or by will < devise) and have rented out such properties In competition with other landlords, receiving the same local protection with- ' out paying any taxes. Do our legislatures know nothing of the constitution; or are they Indifferent to it? t- Yl Wake Lazy Insides All-Vegetable Way Thousands torn to this way to get relief when they're lazy intestinally and it has them headachy, bilious, irritable, listless: A quarter to a half-teaspoonful of Spicy, aromatic, oll-vtgetoble - BLACK- DRAUGHT , on your tongue tonight, a drink of ,. water, and there you are!

MARKETING QUOTA ON LINT QROWER8 Cotton farmers of the United States are better prepared through the marketing quota provisions of the AAA Farm Program to protect themselves from efTecta of tho European war today than they were during the World War, declares W. C. McCarley, qounty AAA chairman. "Through the adjustment provision^ of the program and marketing quotas farmers have the means to keep the supplies of cotton In lino with demand ?something they did not have in 1914", Mr. McCarley says. "Farmers , learned then what happened when > cotton was thrown 011 an over-supplied market. In 1914-16 >the war weakened demand for a large American crop and caused the price to drop from about 12 cents to 6 1-2 cents. In contrast to this, since the European war broke out In 1939, the farm price of cotton, supported ,rby loans, has actually Increased slightly desplto a large supply. "Cotton marketing quotas and acreage allotments are the farmers' tools for adjusting' the supply of cotton to be placed on 'the market", Mr. McCartoy states. "During the World War tho laws o-f economics worked against the cotton farmer. But now farmers can, through the Farm Program, do their own adjusting and place on the market that amount of cotton which can be sold for a reasonable price." ^ Kershaw county farmers will vote, along with other cotton fanners of the nation, on December 7 on whether or not they want marketing quotas to be In effect on the 1941 crop. A favorable vote of two-third is necessary before quotas will be operative. For Sale I Several Hundred Bushels I Abruzzi Rye I We solicit your inquiries. I Kershaw Oil Mill Kershaw, S. C.
