Washington, July 26?The choeso]
factory opened up In Chester last
August by the Borden Coinpanv received
24.449 pounda of illi 1K on Sunday,
July 13. Prices paid to farmers
will exceed a yearly total of $126,000
for this volume of milk, fiecause of
the rapid Increase in milk delivered
by farmers to this plant. Borden has
purchased equipment to convert the
plant Into condenser with a dally
capacity of 160,000 po.unds of milk, I
have been assured that plans are under
way to build a feeder plant at
some other point In the State not yet
selected. The point selected will depend
upon the dairy cow population
of that area. Precoollng stations
will probuhly bo established at Lancaster
and Newberry. The opening
up of a market for our farmers surplus
milk by prlvato Industry should
be welcome news to our farmers.
What we have been working for a
long time is to got more cash for
our farm products, and, as many
farmers havo surplus milk daily beyond
their own needs, 1 don't think
there Is any doubt that the expansion
of this business will be welcome news.
The department of Agriculture has
announced a plun to store reserve
supplies of milled feed on farms In
Northeastern States In order to avoid
possible shortages that would bumper
efforts to Increase dairy, poultry, and
livestock production required for the
national defense: program.
The plan is designed to assure adequate
supplies of feed in the area In
the event shortage in transportation
?which may develop in connection
with defense program?limits shipments
of grain from the producing
areas In the AfJdwest or limits shipments
of milled feed within the ai*qa.
Producers and dealers in this nrea at
present often maintain less than 1
week's supply of feed, whereas the
program participating farmers would
maintain approximately three montlm'
supply. The plan, by distributing
grain to farms for storage In the
form of feed, would also make available
In grain-producing areas additional
storage space needed for the 1(J41
grain crop.
Rifles and submachine guns ore
now being produced ,#t a rate of more
than 1.600 per day, it was announced
recently by the Production Division,
Office Production Management. This
compares with daily average production
In August 1040 of 280 and tn
January 1041. of 031. Included In
these tlgures are the (laraud semiautomatic
rifle, the automatic Drowning.
and the Thompson submachine
gun.
Hope that waste paper supplies In
communities throughout the country
will he Increased by avoiding thoughtless
destruction was recently expressed
by Administrator Henderson of
the OPACS. Mr. Henderson pointed I
out that additional supplies of waste
paper, cardboard, etc . arc required
for conversion Into containers used to
package and ship the thousands of
articles being produced bv defense Industries.
On behalf of the Government
It Is urged that waste paper be |
saved by the householder for collection
by wHste paper dealers.
The highest civilian preference rating
for supplies of essential raw materials
was assured manufacturers of
hospitals apparatus and equipment,
surgical implements and supplies, and
eye-glass frames and parts in two allocation
programs promulgated July
17 by the Civilian Supply Allocation
Division, OPACS.
Sustained production of hospital
< quipmeat and surgical supplies Is of
the greatest Importance to continued
efficiency and maintenance of civilian
morale. It has become difficult for
producers to obtain the needed raw
materials, a situation which the program
is designed to correct. Both
programs will be administered by
OPM.
The Treasury Department has announced
plans which will enable more
than 1.251,000 Federal employees
throughout the United States to participate
in the national defense sayings
campaign by periodic Investment
of part of their earnings in Defense
Savings^ond and Stamps. This program
was started at trio Treasury
only a few weeks ago. Alrendy,
more than 17.000 of the 19,982 Treasury
employees in Washington, or 85
percent, have pledged to buy $95,944
in Bonds and Stamps each month. Of
the 9.176 Treasury employees in field
service, 6,133 or 67 percent, have
pledged to make monthly purchase
totaling $30,265.

Scouts Save Soldier
Rockland, Mass., July 19?Thanks
fo n group of Rockland Roy Scouts,
50 map-making soldiers from Camp
Edwards reached their objective.
The scouts reported they came upon
the soldiers pouring over maps in
unfnmllar territory, amid miles of
scrub pines and ponds. Spreading
their own maps, the scouts, with the
aid of pocket compasses, directed the
"lost battalion" to its destination.
The soldiers were on a map-making
assignment.

COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
(Hy Spectator)
'"la the weather going to breuk?"
aoinu one asked lust. week. 1 think
ho; but It lb going to break the fanyor.
Ah the tlehlb huve been, it might
be a good Idea to have farm oanoce
to float down the coVn and cotton
in Id d It* h for an Inspection.
Ah I went over the state receutly
n?en In every section asked the same
question: "Who's coining out tor the
senate? Will the governor and Edgar
lirown run?" Well, beyond a
doubt all will know the answer before
this Spectator appears in print.
Roaming among the peach trees and
eating at random 1 thought 1 was Just
eating a few old-time held peaches,
for the sheer lusciousness of the
fruit. Hut on reading Hrother Ira
Armfield's Sylacauga News (Alabama)
I learned that I was laying in
u store of vitamins "A. H. C and O
(b2)'\ for these are found In peaches.
Every year I recommend wtae&t
meal for muffins and, hot cakes. Take
the wheat to a grits mill and use the
whole product. It Is full of iodine
and brimming over with vitamins
from A to Z and then "complexed"?
Just whatever that is. I thought the
man with the vitamin bug had a
["complex", but there is such a thing
as a vitamin complex, meaning that
the vitamin has a complex. Well,
what next?
All of us were started on a milk diet
and milk continues an interesting
topic, even if we don't rely on It so
largely now.
Some of our pet prejudices are exploded
now and then. A Massachusetts
professor, who 1h an authority
on milk, tells us that many of our
Ideas are unfounded. Acid fruits and
milk are not Incompatible, says, he.
because the stomach Juices curdle
milk in the normal process of digestion.
XTTe curdling' caused by acid
fruits may even be helpful, says the
learned gentleman. Fish and milk
together are quite all right, too, says
our friend. Of course, he points out.
the fish should not be In a preliminary
state of spoiling. Milk Isn't
fattening, we read. Milk isn't so
much a beverage, as it is a food. Now,
according to our authority, If we eat
all the food we require, and then take
milk as a beverage, we are adding to
the food. That, he says, is fattening.
Hut if milk be taken as a food it is
not fattening. Milk as a beverage,
along with sufficient food, will amount
to too many calories, therefore will
become fattening. Skimmed milk
contains all the vitamins and minerals
found in whole milk, but omits
the fat. Milk is not so fluid as is
commonly thought. It has more solid
food material than onions, oysters,
carrots, squash, cabbage, cauliflower,
radishes, spinach, watermelon, pumpkin.
tomatoes, asparagus, celery, lettuce
and cucumbers. Well, tell me
buddy, man to man, whoever thought
that stuff had any food value. Onions
have only nuisance value.
Every time Congress appropriates
n billion dollars our share of the debt
is two million dollars. In South Carolina;
Georgia $6,300,000. The president
seems to lie asking for more billions
every week, so the part that will
tall on us for his most recent calls is
more than the total amount appropriated
by the Legislature. Of course,
this is Just an interesting calculation
made by a statistician and doesn't
menu any thing, nor is it intended to
alarm us. When sums are up In
the bullions we are all so befuddled
that we go off on a sort of financial
spree and become as unmoved by ten
billions as by one billion. A billion
dollars is such a vast sum of money
that we stagger under the weight of
the imagination and our faculties all
become so benumbed that we don t
grasp the Immensity of the undertaking
to which we have set ourselves.
Now as to the cannery: A shrewd
man was about to sell the output of
several small canneriea to a certain
chain. The chain, after looking us
over, said: "Your stuff is all right,
we'd like to buy It, but we can't. If
anything foreign were found in a can
somebody would sue us for punitive
damages, and there we'd he hanging
out on a limb. If we buy those things
from a big packer he will protect us,
even in court." So there we are
again. Like Banquo's ghost, the punitive
damage practice Btares us In
the face on ail occasions.
All national expenditures, for nonmilitary
purposes, should be cut to
the last penny, so far as may be
practicable. Our nation has authorized
military expenditures more than
twice as much as we actually spent
during the first world war. While
carrying this backbreaking burden
for preparedness, the taxpayers are
continuing to pay for all the load of
social experiment and public pap. We
must realize that a vast number of
our people now look to the Government
for support. And this great
multitude have become career men
and women on government payrolls.
A lot of this work is just about as
necessary as a bag of candy is to a
well-fed child, but the human element,
the vote element, enter into it,
and politicians are slow to do anything
which will count against them,
at the polls.
We here put a finger on one of the
sore spots of a democractic government:
the man with a grievance, or
grudge, carries it, cherishes it and
uses it in reprisal at he ballot box;
whereas those of us who have really
been saved in taxes, or other wise,
soon forget- all about it.
South Carolina is already seething
with politics. The resignation of
Senator Byrnes leaves a vacancy
which no man, however able, can
really fill until time and experience
have worked upon him. Perhaps we
haven't another man just like Mr.
Justice Byrnes, who has certain rare
qualities. It may be that some
aspirant would answer as the Scotch
lady did. when she was told that it
would be difficult for her to take her
sister's place. She replied "I shall
not take her place: I shall make a
place for myself." So we shall probably
have a Senator of a different
type.
a
I have been talking quite a lot
about punitive damages. You know
what I mean. Even in the early days
of our English law we had the matter
of punitive damages. It is still
a part of the legal practice in most
States. South Carolina allows punitive
damages more readily than most
other states, and our practice injures
us in the opinion of others. If a man
slips on a banana skin in a store and
spins around like a top, finally landing
ungracefully on the floor, he may
not have suffered any injury except
to his dignity. According to our
practice he may sue the owner of the
store for actual damages, whatever
they may be, if any, and punitive
damages, or damages as a bunishment
for having the banana skin on the
floor. The skin was not put there
by the storekeeper, nor by his clerks. ,
Very likely a customer from the
street dropped the skin. If the store
is operated by a rich man or a big
corporation the banana glider will sue)
for thousands of dollars. That practice
is said to operate against us in
trying to bring in new business. All
that, however, we have said before
Something new. however, has come to
light. As you know, small canneries
appear to be desirable enterprises in
many communities. We have corn,
tomatoes, beans, peas, fruits, etc., in
abundance. These things, except the
?orn, spoil easily. If we could can
tmr surplus at a fair price, many a
farmer might show a profit at the
>nd of the year, Instead of a backbreaking
loss. It all appears so easy,
>n paper.?Just like so many other
hings connected with farm. Any
nan who can't figure for himself a
jood living on a two-horse farm is
poor at figures. Of course the figures
may play tricks on him, or may fall
to keep the faith, resulting In disappointment
or even disaster, sometimes.
Of all the side-lines a cannery
should be the most profitable. Again
I'm Indulging in paper farming. It's
like so much of the advice given to
farmers; It costs nothing to the man
who gives the advice. In fact he gets
a thrill oiit of it and thinks what a
farmer he would be if he would only
use his master mind on problems of
agriculture. I know a farmer who
reduced his cotton acreage in order
to diversify. He has been trying to
Bell four or five hundred bushels of
oats two months. He could have sold
the cotton any day. j

How To Use Your ^
Cotton Stamps
i Now Is ttie time for ail farm families
to plan how they may fet the
greatest satisfaction from the use of
their cotton stamps, buys Miss Margaret
Kewell, county home demon* j
atration agent.
Cotton atampa will be iaaued early ,
in August to the farmera who have
already algned the intention aheeta |
to take part in the Supplementary
Cotton . program. ? I
What will cotton atampa buyf!
Why any new cotton gooda made'
of cotton which la produced and man-!
ufactured in the United Statea. The'
atampa ure in twenty-five centa de- j
nomination put up in booka of five
dollars: The whole amount can be
apent ut once or you can uae only
one of two at a time.
Ilefdre spending any atampa each
family ahould have a "get-together
conference" ou planning to get the
moat value from cotton atampa.
The housekeeper will want to check .
over her supply of aheeta, mattresa
covers and pads, bedspreads, pillowcases,
towels, scarfa, table cloths and
mats. Then she will also probably ,
want "to dress-up" some of the upholatered
furniture in colorful, washable
cotton slip covers; or hang up i
cotton curtains and draperies at the
windows all over the house. , '
Cotton clothing fpr men, women,
and children can't be beat for its durability,
its washability, and now Its
"style-ability" is Just as attractive as
any other material.
Cotton fabrics can be suitable for
all different types of clothing?from
the sturdy denim for overalls to the
softest voile for a dress-up dress.
The stamps will go much farther
in clothing the family if some yard
goods are purchased and certain garments
made by the homemaker. Include
provision for piece goods in
your family plan.
Even if you don't have cotton
stamps, you will probably want to
take advantage of the excellent stock
of cotton goods our local merchants
are putting in for August. "Call for
cotton when you buy."

' During the day the prisoner called
McNeill to his cell and asked him Jf
he would order a soft drink and a
