QOOD WORK GOVERNOR HEIL
Governor Julius Holl, of Wisconsin,
httH Informed an association of stato
employes that If the unit revokes a
non-Htrlkn clause In 11h constitution
and authorizes a strike In any stato
Institution he will call out the troops
and have thom take over tho Institutions
wherein the strikers have boon
vm ployed.
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.

Camden music lovers will remom*
her the 9lh Division Artillery Baud
which played lit Hampton Square last
Saturday evening and later provided
the niuslc for the dance In the Hutledge
street armory.
That hand was Just about the finest
this writer has listened to In years.
The program offered was one of" the
most Yersatllu we have heard In many
moons, embracing as It did popular as
well as classical selections. The direction
and response was perfectly
coordinated.
Now comes a letter front First Clrtss
Private Hen Gordon, who Is the public
relations representative of the
band who says:
"On Saturday, November 1, our
organization journeyed to Camden as
the guests of It's townspeople for the)
weekend and while hero wo had the
pleasure of entertaining your citizens
at both a concert and a dunce.
"Through you, we wish to thank all
the residents of your city for the hospitality
and friendliness extended to
us.
"Ah the public relations representative
of the band I would bo grateful
to you If you would forward us a
copy of the paper containing any
press notice relative to our Saturday
:iight concert", 1 would like to have
such material for use In the various
army Journals to which we release
news."
To you private Cordon, the writer
wishes to convey thanks for that
line concert. Copies of this week's
Issue of the Chronicle with a review
of the hand concert are to .he sent
to Private Cordon.
Mayor F. N. MeCorkle spoke In
glowing terms or the performance of
the 9th Division Artillery hand, declaring
that it was the best ho had ovor
heard in Camden. It was by request
of the mayor that the army sent this
hand to Camden.
The mayor has hopes of bringing
the hand hack, later Just for the purpose
of offering a concert. The mayor
believes the people of Camden
would turn out In goodly numbers If
this band announced another concert
here.

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.

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.

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.

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.
