SOUTH CAROLINA QUEEN G Contests for County Candid Newspapers All Palmafesta at Columbia, With indominable spirit the mercantile interests of Columbia have handed old Doctor Gloom a knockout blow by subscribing $10,000 as a Kuarantced fund) that will assure even a better Palmafesta week than the one held so successfully in the capital city last spring. Special committees of the Columbia Chamber of Commerce .are now busy arranging the program for the big week which will include the fashion show, automobile show, fire works, baby parade, float parade, beauty contest, state-wide industrial exhibits, daily band concerts by some nationally famous musical organization and a big musical day on which John McCormick or. an enuallv famous stai will he featured.

The school board appealed to the sheriff, who offered to j arrest old Zaek if the board would j provide hi"-, with a warrant. It was i simple enough at first to draw a warrant for old Zack's arrest, but legal ; cliiTicn1 tie-- avo-e.

The proceedings hung fire for a \veel< or more. The school hoard sent an order to the master not to hear Zack's lessons or to give him any instruction whatever. But the old follow came to school just the same and poor Cobb had to get along with him ;\s best he could. The school board was not eager again to try putting him out by force, and it seemed that nothing less than the state militia could oust him from the schoolhouse; and that would need an order from the governor of the state. On the whole, public opinion rather favored his being allowed to pay his tuition and to go to school if he felt the need of it. At any rate he went to school there all winter and made remarkable progress. In the course of ten weeks he could read slowly and he knew most of the short words in his primer and second reader by sighU Longer words he would not try to pronounce, but called them, each and all, "jackass" as fast as lie came to them. hi consequence his reading aloud was highly ambiguous. He could write his name slowly and with many grimaces. Figures, for some reason, camc much easier to him than the alphabet He learned the numerals in a few day.* and by the fifth or sixth wee! of school he could add and subtrac on his slate.

"Rut 1 can't!" old Zack would reply. 1 "Twouldn't come to me 'less I sung 1 it!" Toward the last weeks of the term he was able to multiply with considerable accuracy and to divide in short division. Long division he did not attempt, but he rapidly learned to cast interest at G per cent. Mo had had a way of arriving1 at that with beans before he came to school; and no one had ever succceded in cheating hi i. !lo knew about interest money, lie said, by "sense of feeling." Grammar ho saw no use for, and i did not bother himself with i>: but. J en "i >u>ly e iough, he was delighted j with geography and toward tl e end | of the tern bought a copy of Cor- i .;clr< textbook, which was then used in Maine schools. What most interested him w.as to trace rivers on tho 1 aT)s and to 'earn their names. Cities he cared nothing for; hut lie loved to loam about tho mountain ranges where pine and spruce grew. "What places them would he for sawmills!" lie exclaimed. Much as he liked his new geography. however, he had grown violently angry over the first lesson and declared with strong language that it was all a lie! The master had read aloud to him tho first lesson which describes the earth as one of the planets that revolve round the sun and which says that it is a globe or sphere, turning on its axis once in twenty-four hours and so causing day and night. Old Zack listened incredulously. "I don't believe ,a word of that!" he declared flatly. The master labored with him for some time trying to convince him that the earth is round and moves, but it was quite in vain. "No such thing!" old Zack exclaimed. "I know better! That's the biggest lie that ever was told!" He quite took it to heart and continued talking about it after school.

It's wrong;," he said, "putt-in' sich -.tuff as that into young: ones' heads. It didn't oug:hter be Mowed!" What old Zack. was saying about the earth spread abroad and caused a great deal of amusement. Certain t waggish persons began to "josh" him i and others tried to argue with him, but all such attempts merely routed; his native obstinacy. One Sunday. evening he gave a somewhat wrong direction to the weekly prayer meeting by rising- to warn the people that their children were being taught a nack of lies; and such was his vehemence that the regular Sabbath service resolved itself into a heated debate on the contour of the earth. Perhans old Zack believed that, as a recently educated man, it had become his duty to set things right in the public mind. T;ic c!.?y before school closed he went to his late antagonist, the lawyer on the school board, and again olVered to pay the twenty dollars for his tuition. After formally expelling him from school, however, the board did not dare to accept the money, end old Zack gave it to the long-sutVering Master Cobb. o- I SUMMONS FOR RELIEF (Complaint Served) STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA C OUNTY OF HORRY J.

C , MARCH 9, 1922 DAIRY FARM IN OKLAHOMA In order to study the possibilities of dairying and to develop better methods of crop utilization in the dryiarming: regions of the Southwest, the Bureau of Animal Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture has established a herd of purebred cbiry cattle on a farm in the semiarid district of northwestern Oklahoma. The Bureau of Plant Industry has had a farm here near the town of Woodward for many years and has studied such crops as grain sorghums, broom corn, forage sorghums, cowpeas, alfalfa, rye for the prevention of soil blowing, and winter wheat for pasture. From now on the farm will bo used co-operatively by the Bureau of Plant Industry and the Bureau of Animal Industry. This is considered a necessary combination as most of the feeds grown there are of the kind that must be fed largely to live stock. The dairy division hopes to determine whether or not it is desirable to produce live stock under those dryland conditions and to grow the crops ? *i,? WIlll/ll \> I I I l-Ilt? ICIUI IU> I per acre in terms of milk or cream. The question is not one of crop tonnage, but of the amount of finished dairy! products that can he turned out. The work here is not designed to discover the best practices for any particular state, but to study practices that will bo desirable in the large dry land regions where only certain crops can be grown. The people of this little Oklahoma towi have shown great enthusiasm in regard to the investigations that the ncp.irtment of Agriculture contempla'es. The town purchased 100 acres adjoining the old government farm and turned it over free to the government for a period of !>'.) years. The voters of the town were almost unanimous in favor of this donation. The cattle that are being used on this farm are also in the country-wide breeding project being conducted by the dairy division, and bulls have been sent from the government farm at ISeltsville, Md. In this breeding project, which now includes more than 300 cows and fifty bulls, it is hoped to determine what are the best methods of breeding for the improvement of cattle. The large scale of this investigation should make the results particul a r 1 y vaI ua b 1 e. o A MOTHER'S GRATITUDE Many a Mother In Conway Will Appreciate the lollowing.
