The Wisconsin executive muilp the statement that such a strike would he tho same as policemen going on a strike. We believe the action of Governor Hell Is to he .commended. Such a strike as tho state employes association might contemplate would he Indefensible. To some It may he that tho curb as advocated by the governor might seem harsh. We do not think so. There Is no question but that Institutions for ahnormals cannot be left is disgruntled for some reason or other.

Store JLfW/llV Use Our Lay-Away Plan l| Fertilizer Bills May Be Cut in Half Low 'Income farmers In Kershaw County ure being pointed to a way by which thuir fertilizer bills may be cut In half. H. I\ DoLoacne, tarm supervisor for the Farm Security Administration In Kershaw County, said today that the fall planting season brings opportunity to provide for the land some Of tho elements of commercial fertilizer, particularly nitrogen, and that this course Is being urged upon all Kershaw County farmers on the FSA program. The Idea, said Mr. DeLoache, Is to plant nitrogenous cover crops, like vetch, Austrian peas, blue lupin, and | crimson clover. "Studies by tho Farm Secuilty specialists," he said, "have shown us that families on the FSA progiam spend for fertilizer more than for the combined Items of clothing, education, church obligations and self-Improvement. "The budget of our families In Hog ion Five (Alabama. Georgia, South Carolina and Florida) Include a total of live and a half million dollars a year for fertilizer. Nearly half of commercial fertilizer Is nitrogen, so that our families, all of whom are low Income farmers who need essentially better living standards, spend about two and a half Million dollars for this nitrogen, much of which they could provide for themselves simply by planting cover crops. "We are trying to urge upon these families, therefore, to grow their own fertilizer?not only to provide a larger margin for their own living, hut to help the land and to increase their crop yields, in some cases of cotton and corn by two or three times. "After all our talk about the need of new crops, wo find that we are r.ot doing half what we could with the crops wo have. We hope to convince the families 011 our program that they can do more, and at the same time have more for themselves, by wise use of cover crops." COMMON SALT CHECKS POULTRY .CANNIBALISM Cannibalism and feather-picking, 1 vices that sometimes develop to profit-stealing proportions In Kershaw county poultry flocks, can be cured In short order by adding an extra 2 to 4 per cent of salt to the ration, according to County Agent W. C. McCarley. This salt treatment has been tested with success by the lT. 8. Department of Agriculture and several state experiment stations. If an all-mash diet Is being fed, 2 percent of salt should be added, but if both mash and grain are fed, about 4 percent of salt should be mixed with the mash. Easier than figuring actual percentages Is the equally effective method of sprluklihg a thin layer of salt on top of the mash?just enough to he seen. Usually feather-picking and cannibalism will stop soon after the birds ' get a taste of the salt, but In some cases It may he necessary to add salt 1 to the mash this way for 2 or 3 days. 1 When the addition of salt fails to curb 1 the vice after three days, It may 1 he necessary to trim hack to the (,nick about 1-4 inch of each chicken's h.-ak with a sharp knife or hot soldering iron. ?>-? ? The average soldier uses 18 times lie it wool than the rank and file uf civilian--, the Department of Commerce reports.

We with the health department will take the matter up and see if the conditions there cannot be Improved. 1 Seal That Apes Judas ^ War on marauding sea lions and i their concubines is being waged on the lower Columbia river, near Portland, Ore. Commercial fisher- { men, last year, lost half of their late fall catch when the sea lions robbed the fishermen's gill-nets. A s trained seal will act as a decoy ^ to bring the sea lions within range t of riflemen. The seal will go out among the herd of sea lions and ittract them shoreward where armed fishermen will crack on all | the lions but the one used as a 1 decoy. The sea lions work along the stretch of a gill-net eating a fish here and there and often biting a chunk out of a fish, leaving telltale marks to the disgust of the fisherman. Suggests Action j For Public Safety (Continued from first page) ire a menace to the general public. The obvious solution to this problem vould be a state law requiring several ipecified tests for used cars offered for ialo and repairs ^to ears which cannot j neet them. The basis for the law ihould of course he public safety on ] he highways. A law or ordinance of the. kind ; ibove mentioned would naturally raise ; ho price of some used cars hut purhasers should not he allowed to acuire "bargains" which are a menace o the general public. The obvious solution to this pro- j lent would he a state law requiring everul specified tests for usod cars j ffered fhr sale and repairs to cars rhlch cannot meet them. The basis ar the law should of course be public afety on the highways. A law or ordinance of the kind above ! lentioned would naturally raise the rice of some used ears but purchaa- i rs should not be allowed to acquire bargains" which are a menace to the ubllc as well as to the purchaser. ^ M.

Monster's Footprints Discovered The footprint of a strange amphibian that wallowed in the mud and vegetation covering Pennsylvania's anthracite region 245,000,000 years ago has been preserved for science. The discovery was made deep in the East Boston mine, some distance from the town of Luzerne, by Roland T. Bird, paleontologist for the American Museum of Natural History. "Amphibians such as left their imprint on the slab I found here," explained Bird, "were the first vertebrates able to leave the water and exist for any time on land." The bald eagle, national bird of the Jnited States, is not protected by the covernment, but is protected by some ndividual states. Following the example of Peter the Jreat, the city of Omsk, in Siberia,1 inposed a tax on beards In 1929. Five-shilling pieces first were truck during the reign of King Henry /HI. and originally were gold coins Thousands Jam City On Week-end (Continued nv>m first page) hall In the old armory on Rutledge street got away to a late start because of wrong Instructions being given to one of the orchestras. The 9th Division band however had their orchestra instruments and provided fine music for the dancers. According to Maynr McCorkle, there will be no regular convoy in Camden this week end. Because of the increase in tempo of the war games In this area, the officers have called off the sending of troops in convoys. Inasmuch as there are thousands of soldiers camped in this area the mayor believeB many will drift into the city Saturdays for the weekend. The mayor is seeking to bring an army glee club from Fort Bragg for a concert in Hampton Park Saturday evening. This glee club carries vocalists for solo numbers, quartet ensembles and other vocal features. A microphone will probably be used for the solo numbers. I aim to try and get some good entertainment for soldiers and townspeople every Saturday night" said the mayor. I have already made some contacts which should result in Some splendid programs being heard in Camden." The mayor went on to state that he regretted having to disappoint a big crowd of people Sunday afternoon when the 9th Division artillery band, scheduled to give a 12:30 p. m. concert, had to leave at 9:30 a. m. for their camp at Fort Bragg. The mayor states that the recreational committee will proceed to arrange a Saturday and Sunday, prograin for soldiers despite the announced plan of the army not to send a convoy. "There will be the usual dance Saturday night, starting at 8* 30 * Said Mr. McCorkle. WHYTAKE | BLOOD PRESSURE ? | ,? WMW The<? is^io^iagiioetic procedure which?1~? ^*4^ gives the doctor more information about fiwy his middle-aged patient than an accurate j wluf blood pressure determination. The trained physician can learn the con* I dition of the arteries, heart action, and detect | I symptoms of many diseases, only successfully treated in their early stages, such as Bright's disease, toxic goiter, a tendency toward apoplexy. Low blood pressure is not particularly frequeht or serious, and is an indication of some debilitating condition. It is also true of high blood pressure that it is a symptom - not a disease. The way to cure high blood pressure is to prevent it by regular general examinations, so that any beginning in- i crease may be detected in time to do something about it. % , l I YrriS fS 7*6 44 0? 4 sntea 'mum TUB PUSjJt ABOUT THt'OOCTOn."
