Member of Associated Press The Associated Press is exclusively tn thp usp for reDuhllcatlon oi news dispatches credited to it or not otherwise credited in this paper and *lso the local news published theiein FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1921. According to the United States census South Carolina produced 3,597.835 bushels of oats in 1919 as against 5,745,291 bushels in 1909. Minnesota produced 89,108,151 bushels in 1919 and 93,897,717 bushels in 1909. Iowa produced 187,045,705 bushels in 1919 and 128,198,055 bushels in 1909. Illinois produced 129,104,008 bushel., in 1919 and 150,380.074 bushels in 1909. The census shows that South Carolina produced 27,472,013 bushels <>f corn in 1919 and 20.871,946 bushels in 1909. The showing for these two years for Illinois was 285,346.035 bushels and 390,218,676 bushels respectively. Iowa raised 371,362,393 bushels in 1919 and 341.750,460 bushels in 1909. Iowa and Illinois farm lands are high m value although not a stalk ot cotton is raised in either. Yet the farmers are prosperous. Why? Several times during the past three yars a movement lias been started in the Chamber of Commerce here to organize a cannery. If we remember correctly, at one time, under the direction of Mr. Carbery, while he was secretary, the plans came near to being carried out. But, somehow, the movement failed. It was a wise suggestion; and, if it had been carried to realization, Union County would today be facing a very much more satisfactory situation. The trouble was 40 cents cotton. Forty cent cotton ran us all crazy, as the fellow says, "plumb crazy." \Vfe could renew our interest in the Chamber of Commerce if it could bring about a revival of the movement to build a cannery. If the farmers all over the county know they could find a way to dispose of their surplus, they would produce vegetables in sufficient quantities to supply the needs of a cannery. The organization wold not pay in the beginning, for it would take a year or two to convince the farmers that there would be a good market for their products. But it could be made to pay after a year or two. We do not believe a small, poorly squippod plant would ever pay. But a modern plant that would can and properly label the cans and create a market for the products, would pay and pay well. This is one way we can fight the boll weevil. He cannot eat tomatoes, ca1 bage, com, beans, okra, sweet potatoes nor Englsh peas. But we could can all these products, label them properly and sell every ounce of tinproduct. We have been thinking of several names to brand upon our product. Suppose we got up a neat, attractive lehnl like this: Union Peerless Brand Peas, or whatever article it might be, and send out a standard,! high grade article, advertise it well,] keep up the standard to grade and go into the general canning business?

A request that more blank contracts be forwarded at once indicated, President H. G. Kaminer said, that the drive in that county was being continued with vigor by D. B. Dargan, county chairman, and A. H. Ward, county agent. That the cooperative cotton marketing plan is succeeding in Texas is evidenced by a statement received by President Kaminer from that state yesterday showing that Texas members of the asociation are receiving such better prices for their cotton than are non-members and that the Texas association is having no trouble financing the cotton of its members. The statement from Texas was to the effect that the first on the New York market of acceptances of the Texas asociation was made recently, acceptances to the amount of $100,000 having been sold at 5 1-2 per cent. This sale, the statement said, is a recognition of the stability of the Texas organization. It was further said that a telegram had been received by the president, of the Texas asociation from the War Finance orporation in Washington which has advanced $15,000,000 to the asociation announcing that hereafter all commitments will bear interest at the rate of 6 1-2 per cent instead of 7 per cent as origirtaly provided. The Texas association, it was said, has already received more than 100,000 bales and advanced more than $1,500,000 to members. From 1,0000 to 3,000 bales ai*e being received daily. I "We have sold 17,000 bales to date at prices which netted $200,OO0 more than street buyers would have paid and not a sincle bale of stanle has been included," says the statement. President Kaminer said that there had been much interest evinced as to how the Texas asociation was coming along and the statement received yesterday, no thinks, will be read with the greatest interest by farmers all over the state. ?

Citfar Tax Reduced London, Nov. 12- After being driven from popularity by wartime economy and high taxation, cigars are once more coming into their own. Since the Chancellor of the Exchequer withdrew the 50 per cent ad valorem duty on Havanna cigars five months ago, the number released from bond has exceeded by 10,643,000 that for the same period last year, says n. i-sorman hudd, secretary 01 hi' National Union of Retail Tobacconists. The Exchequer has gained a large amount in revenue from the smaller duty, and tobacconists say all signs point to a further increase in the cigar consumption. Check a Cough and Avoid Complications.

This is the opinion of Dr. Stephen Smith, founder of the New York Health Department, who recently celebrated his 98th birthday. "Read all the news in the papers," he advised. "Read even the murders. I- get six papers every day and read them nil through." Hp to two years ago, Dr. Smith walked eight miles every day. He ! still takes his daily constitutional, but has cut down the distance. Children Know Mark Twain and Edison Chistopol, Tartar Republic, Russia, Nov. 28.?Mark Twain and Thomas A. Edison were known to the children of this inland town on the Kama River before the American Relief Administration found its way here and served the starving youngsters with white rolls made of Minneapolis flour. In appreciation of the American t feeding the local youngsters present- j ed the American manager if the local feeding with n memorial reading: "It is not only agreable to eat the lovely American bread and sugar, but it is pleasant to think they come from America. We like to read about America. We particularly love Mark Twain and Thomas A. Edison. Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn are friends of ours. We know that Edison made many ingenious inventions. We beg you to express our gratitude to the American people, especially the little Americans. Signed, Children of Chistopol." Most of the children in this area are Tartars, but there is a generous sprinkling of Kirghese, Kalmucks and other tribal folks who do not even speak Russian. American Engineering * Trinmnhc \ train New York, Nov. 30?For the second J time within three years, American engineering skill has triumphed over obstacles tending to prevent the giant steamship Leviathan, the former pride of Germany's merchant fleet, from going to sea. The first time was in 1917, when the great 54,000 ton liner interned here at the beginning of the war, was wilfully damaged by her own engineers to prevent her from being used as a transport for American and allied soldiers. Amerioan engineers repaired the damage and made her ready for a trip within a few weeks. Her record for the war was 19 voyages on which she caried going and coming 184,253 American soldiers. Signing of the armistice laid her up. Then the United States Shipping Board, her custdian fr the United States government, began to plan to restore her to the trans-Atlantic trade as the premier American pasenger liner. Fitting her . for troops had stripped her of her former palatial cabins, saloons and dining halls. These had to be restored. Her German builders were cabled and asked for a set of blue print plans giving details of her construction. They consented to provide the plans? for $1,000,000. With a nestimated cost of between $7,000,O0Q|j}nd $10,000,000 facing tjietrf for restoration, the Shipping Board declined the offer and decided to make' its own plans. A small army of engineers and draftsmen were put to work to ascertain the details of her construction. Partitions were removed in part, floors ripped up in certain sections, miles of telephone, electric light and signal wires were traced, equal miles of pipe lines controlling heating and plumbing systems were followed, plates from keel to hurricane deck were bored into and measured. The Leviathan was at last "put on paper" to the most minute detail. Consequently, when bids were asked of shipbuilders last month to restore the ship to her original grandeur and with additinal facilities and accommodations, the Shipping Board was able to submit to each bidder a complete set of plans and specifications. These bids will be opened December 29. Under plans now prepared for the bidders she will be entirely restored as befitting her size. The grandeur of her original great dining saloons, lounges, smoke rooms and libraries will be retained and improved upon. An immense tiled and marbled plunge bath with accompanying rooms for Turkish, electric and other baths, will be one of her attractions. Suits once designed as personal quarters for his former Imperial Majesty the Emporer of Germany, will be retained but suggestions of royalty will be replaced by luxurious fittings desired by modern democracy. Who will operate the Leviathan when restored to service and under which houseflag she will sail is yet to be determined by the Shipping Board. . h For Indigestion ?
