Doree so that he may visit his 5 year old son, "Buckey," dying in this city, it was considered unlikely that he will see ihe lad alive. Physicians be-1 lieved that death is imminent. Several days ago the powerful government machinery was moved so that the prison authorities can issue the paper ordering a convict's leave of absence for a visit to his home. Rut Doree is virtually broke, and he must pay not only his own transportation for (he nearly 3,000 miles, but .also that of the guard to accompany him. He wired his wife three days ago that $300 was necessary. The wife who earns her own living, replied she had no funds, hut would en deavor to raise the money. Mrs. Doree, lias wired the warden at Leavenworth to learn whether her husband had negotiated funds for the trip hut lives in hopes that he will arrive momentarily. As the days prow, she is torn between joy and sorrow. Fleeting as is the hope that her son will live friends are expecting President Harding to sign a pardon for her husband within a few days, due largely \o the intersec.siou of Senator George Wharton Pepper and Mrs. Charles Edward Russell. Dome's case first attracted public attention when he ?vas granted a brief leave last spring to visit his son who was critically ill with pericarditis. His reward for the long journey was .a vi^it of but a minute or two with "13uckey" who cullcd for him every day and sti!l continues to do so. Doree has served a'.oi't three years of a 10-year sentence for violation of the espionage act. THE VALUE OF PUREBREDS "Purebred livestock has about 40 per cent greater earning power apart from its breeding or sale value, than sciiib stock. "The superiority of purebreds on a utility basis is due principally to: Better conformation and quality, increased production, more economical production, and earlier maturity. "When purebred sires are used to improve farm livestock the offspring is more salable than that of nonpurebred sires and brings nearly 50 per cent greater returns. ' I lie loregomg are a lew resultj of a recent inquiry conducted by the Bureau of Animal Industry, United States Department of Agriculture. The figures are based on about 25,000 head of breeding stock owned by 525 experienced livestock owners. Besides, the same persons own 30,000 fowels on which the poultry results are based. All of these stockmen have for several years?an average of nine?used purebred sires 1 Prices on Q & J Passenger Car Tires and Tubes, effective May 8th, are not subject to war*tax, the ivar*tax having been included.

A small proportion of the remaining females are scrubs, the othei'M being grades and crossbreds. Thus the persons furnishing the Department j with their experiences were in a ( position to supply dependable information. "The figures mentioned were ob tained during the last part of 1921, in a period of marked depression in the livestock industry. Partly for that reason they are considered conservative even though pointing to an unusually high value of purebreds over common stock."?American Swineherd, May, 1922. COMING EVENTS. (Extract from Editorial in Boston Transcript, Aug. 12, 1922.) Nothing is to be gained by ignoring the fact that the failure of the Administration in the current crisis is oounci to nave a naci etiect upon the < Republican campaign in the state f vvliich holds the right of the lino in I this election year?the State of the 5 Vice President and the Secretary of War, the State also of the leader ol ( lie Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. . . 1 Those who believe, however, that the '* party in power of which he (Presi- t lent Harding) is the titular leader tie- I orves an immediate rebuke by reason I )f its failure either to keep its campaign pledges or to meet the challenge < ^f the hoijr, must either possess their souls in patience for another two 1 years or make the Republican candi- 1 dates in the battle ground States l?ke Massachusetts and Ohio the unwilling and to a large extent the undeserved 1 vehicles of the expression of the pre- < vailing popular disgust. 1 . . . .

It is that in all the 135 miles traveled by au- ; tomobile across the state the only < road that stood up perfectly in all the ? terrific rain that we have recently ex- ; perienced, was in Chesterfield county.

C., will hereafter landle all Extension truck crop work laving to do with marketing probems, from grading through selling; iccording to announcement made in :he following letter by Director W W. Long. Heretofore much of thU vork, especially with sweet potau grading and storing, has been done >y the Extension horticulturists Oirector Long's statement is given jelow. "At a recent conference with Prof. Newman and Air. Harkey in reference o the lines of work of the Mfirketng and Horticultural Divisions the following arrangement was agreed ipon: "That hereafter the marketing igents will furnish all assistance '??' flirt i no' ami jacking of all truck crops including ;weet potatoes. This grading and standardizing will be carried on iither in the field or elsewhere. "That all requests for information 'or the building of sweet potato storage houses, curing of sweet potatoes, he grading and handling of sweet potatoes will be through the Ma2*ceting Division. "Inasmuch as we propose to put jn an additional man in the Division of Markets W3 believe that the marketing agents will be in position :o handle all problems relating to marketing of the different crops." County agents and the pub;ic wh. are seeking assistance in any phase jf marketing should therefore write to the marketing agents rather than to the horticulturists. F. L. Harkey, Chief Division of Markets, has headquarters in Spartenburg, S. C. Other marketing men are L. H. Lewis, Kloi<ence, S. C., and D. D. Whitcomb, Aiken, S. C. FLAPPER'S HAT The plain little leghorn hat, banled with color and turned up slightly in the back and front, has been added to the flapper's wardrobe. It is an excellent style for bobbed hair. perfect condition, unaffected by the severe drenching. This is the best evidence possible that Chesterfield county is building her roads right. As to the remainder of the parly still at Little River, they are having x good time. Trout have been biting well. Surf bathing has been all it couid be and everything but the roads from Cheraw on has been lovely. ml _ _ il - ? a__ _ T) i none composing uie party are, rtev. D. A. Brown, Messers. S. M. Jackson, E.
