ZEMP'8 DRUG 8TORE DeKALB PHARMACY Pullets Can Aid Food Defense Pirogram Clemson, July 19?Keep your pullets and turn them Into laying ht?n? instead of putting them,on the mar kct thin Hummer, thereby providing eggs for Uncle Sam'B food-for-defense program and aiding your own Income. This Ih the advice to poultry pro* ducera offered by I*. II. Gooding and John W. Matthews, extension pyultrymen. There's no definite egg shortage now but there may be In the future unless egg production Is Increased, the specialists suy. People are eating more eggs at home, the Army heeds lots of eggs, and large quantities are scheduled for shipment overseas. The Government recently asked poultry producers to increase egg production 10 million cases during a 16-month period ending next summer; and they have responded, but latest figures Indicate the increase will fall short of that figure. "We know that we can produce all the eggs needed In the food-for defense program", Gooding and Matthews assert. "It's Just a mattert of having plenty of laying hens and taking care of them properly," A recent United States Department of Agriculture report shows that about 19 percent more chicks have been hatched since January 1 than a year ago, but the Increase in numbers of young chicks on farms on June 1 was disappointing, they stty. This would indicate that many pullets are being sold as meat along with cockerels for the broiler market. The egg-feed price ratio 1b attractive to the poultry producer now, and the Government has announced that a favorable ratio will be maintained. It looks like this was the year to fill all available puoltry houses with wellmatured laying pullets, say the poultrymen, and a special effort should be made to withhold all well-developed pullets from slaughter. HIGHWAY U8ER8 PAID IN 8PECIAL TAXES AND FEES American motorists paid more than a bllllion and three-quarters dollars In special taxes and fees imposed by state and federal governments during 1940. Coleman W. Roberts, President, Carolina Moto/ Club, reported today. ( The grand total figures for all special motorist taxes amounts to $1.763,186.000?an average of almost $60.00 for each and every vehicle registered In the country?he said. "Hreaking the total down by types of taxes". Mr. Roberts continued, "the figures show that the federal government received $463,872,000 of the grand total, of which $281,654,000 came from the federal gasoline levy and $34,420,000 from the tax on lubricating oils. The remainder was made up of revenue from the other automotive excise taxes, such as tires and tubes, new automobiles, and so forth. "The states, and this includes North and South Carolina. got $1,309,314,000. including the taxes on more than 22 billlion gallons of gasoline. which amounted to $870,692,000 an increase of 6.2 per cent over 1939 receipts from this source. "Applying these figures to the averuge Income of motor car owners over the country, we find that from one to two weeks' pay of the average motorist went into state and federal coffers for these special taxes-?In addition, of course, to other levies? the tax on real estate, personal property. etc." STRESSES THREE MAIN POINTS ' IN STANDARD OF LIVING Three main points will be made in the work of the department of agriculture to Increase the standard of living for the low-income farm family In Kershaw county, said Mrs. Eva. G. Irby, home management supervisor of the Farm Security Administration. One is to increase the amount of farm products and the facilities for marketing them. Another is to stress living at home; and the third, which is of Increasing importance at this time when the Cotton Stamp plan begins operation, is to help farm families make the best selection of goods which they may obtain with their stamps. "Emphasis on better 'buymanship' has always been part of the home management effort," said Mrs. Irby "but now it is to be increased, with the stamp plan becoming available. "All the effort that has beep made by the farmer and the government to Increase Income will lose Its effect if the new money is wasted by poor Judgment or lack of knowledge about buying." In cooperation with the cooperative service section ahd the bureau of j home economics of the department of i agriculture, the Farm Security Administration is engaged in studies of cotton fabrics. The results of these will be given to low-income farm families, so that they may select tne goods which are best In resisting wear and tear, washing and sunlight. "While we are Interested Just now in .direct benefit in using cotton stamps to best advantage," said Mrs. Irby, "the studies doubtless will be extended to cover purchasing in most fields, and a new Item of education will be added to the Services of FSA." 8uits Us Rratll, which has a surplus of coffee.

FLAT ROCK-ITK8 HAVE PLANNED THEIR VACATIONS }<?mr. and medam? holsum moor? ar? planning a vacation to the blue rldge mountings next month, they have rote for a cottage by a lake with green blind*, it will have a stove for light house-keeping and the rent is in advance, it will have a western view hob the sunset caw be *een and it will have a eastern exposure bo's all the wind from the east will blow In on them thru the back porch which will be screemed iu and the bath-room Is only 26 yards up the mounting side with a northern exposure where the shower will spray on the person that s In It. I ?they have not closed the trade for It as yet. mesdame moore has done the ritln to engage the cottage, but mr. moore hisself will have to do the ttnal stunt, vlxzly: send the p. o. monney order for the rent in ad* vance. they wont take checks, these cltizons first expected to stay away 6 weeks, but the rent was so high they then changed it to 3 week; and it was high even then, they cut it down to two weeks, if mr. moore does not get another government cheek ere long and ere big, they will reduce It to 10 days. * ?if they fall to make the propper arrangements for the cottage, mr. moore says he has a friend up there and they will go stay with her two or three days as usual, he says, as mounting folks always do?they rent their own house out enduring the summer and stay in the barn or garrage theirselvee. of coarse if his friend ha# rented her house out, they mought have to use a cow-stall while vacating. it'b right hard to make plans now onner count of the war. they will at last Bpend one night up there amongst the cedars and balsams. * ? ?sevveral other families will spend their vacations at different places if they can get the monney to do so with. dr. hubbert green will go to the seashore; he has plenty monney, being a doctor, mr. Bllm chance says he will allso stay at the beach a week, but he will not take his wife with him. she can't stand the smell of salt water, he has newer took her with him. he goes on pleasure trips, so he says. rev. waite and famlley will stay at home for financial reasons. yores trulie, mike lark, rfd, corry spondent MY FIRST JOB ?I spent 6 months in railroad oiTice in a smaii town learning the art of telegraphy. I didn't get much book learning, and had to start almost from the scratch. I was a rube thep and am a rube now; it's mighty hard to overcome being what you start off as. * * ?One day a telegram came offering me a Job at $30 per month at a watermelon Btatlon in the lower part of the state. I was so happy and so excited I made a mess of that wire. Think of me getting a Job at such a high salary! 1 never expected to make over $15 a month. That was big pay when I wobbled Into the business world. V * ? * ?I was instructed to go by the Dispatcher's office and take a test. 1 borrowed $2.50 from my father, put on the best clothes I had, which was all I had, and got my railroad pass and boarded the train for the greatest undertaking of my life. I finally got to the Dispatcher's office. ?I told a man who and what I was. I heard about a dozen telegraph Instruments ticking like fire and the call that always scared me stiff was "DI", and the whole room was full of "DI's". I sat down at a little table with a sounder and key In front of me. I began to Bweat and turn red and get dizzy. The guy on the other end of the line was shoving a train message to me so fast it made my head swim. - I took it and it was almost decipherable. ? ?I got the Job. I had never been away from home before except when I went to the county-seat 24 miles as the snake crawled. I enjoyed the work. I had to stay on duty 3nly 16 hours per day except, of course, when extra trains were being run, and then I was free to l?ave any time during the night after "DI" told me "ON", and not before^ But that was back younder when railroad employees had to work for a living; now they stay on duty 8 hours and quit when the clock says to quit, in keeping with the Daw and the Order. We, thethen employees, really and truly appreciated our Jobs. Annual Home-Coming The annual home coming at Bethany Methodist Church, five mtlea south of Bethune, will be observed Sunday. July 27.
