WATTS The Faneers Tone In. For the farmers radio has eeased to be a novelty and has become an important utility. To-day the world's largest user of radio for informational purposes is the United States Depart ment <i Agriculture. Daily it broad- oasts from 100 stations its educational programs lasting for a half hour or mors. In addition it broadcast, mar- news service and weather fore- Secretary Jardine says a potential million farmers are being reached daily by the department's educational programs. Within a few years, Secre tary Jardine adds, it will be possible to have the attentive ear of almost every farmer in the United States. Regular and careful guidance by redie eeu place agriculture in a strong and secure position. A lack of unity in thought and action has worked to retard agriculture. Radio can serve to weld tbs farmer, into a unit Secretary Jardine declaims this Welding prooeee is going on to-day. He points out that day by day each farmer and each group receives the same council. Gradually, all agri- cuRurel interests can be expected to share mere equally correct knowl edge ef prodeetien and marketing thus mobilising ibe^r • * * • *1 1 s * The possibilities for constructive organisation and concerted action were never |P good before the advent ef the radio. i ] The Short Session. Corgreee, convened for the short session, will probably try to enact eome sort of legislation for the re lief ef the enburdened farmers. But fanners will probably save them- selves from being disappointed if th ry expect little from this short session. Farm relief legislation ran on the nocks in the long session because there were too many pilots to steei H straight. The procedure promises to bo repeated with variations during the short session. When farm relief copies up there trill no doubt be little time left to do any law-making^afiOr all the views are “aired.’’ And vrh '• the doctors argue the patient grows It is indicated that the farm relief problem trill be linked up with that of dealing with the Treasury surplus. Previous legislation to aid agricul ture such as the McNary-Haugen bill was turned down, among other res sous, because it was said the cost would be too great to be met at that New the suggestion is being made by Wesiem champions of the farmers that the surplus be used to giv e the help they ask. But there are others who demand the surplus be used to give taxpayers a rebate on the final installments of this j^ar’s 9 comr taxes, as advocated by President Coolidge. Still others oppose such repayments and favor general and permanent tax reduction. In the clash of these projects it is possible all wil' fall. In addition the problems presente 1 by the World Court, railway consoli dation, waterways, Muscle Shoals, •lien property, and a dozen others will doubtless be debated. This seems a long program for a abort sesion but probably littie wi 1 ! come of it. Lqpyers and officials attending Big Court in Barnwell this week will ap- te this bale, showing a display of wit between opposing counsel. The story goes that in one of the courts of Western North Carolina, while James R. Dodge, was making'a'speech, a triumvirate (Messrs. Swain, tollman and Dews) perpetrated, v “wfth malice aforethought,” this jeu d’esprit, which Mr. Dodge found lying on the table before him, when he had finished his speech: “Epitaph on James h. Dodge, Esq* Attorney at Law. “Here lies a Dodge, who dodged all Rood, ’ “And dodged a deal of evil; “Who, after dodging all he could, “He could not dodge the devil.” He read the paper, and. impromptu replied: “Here lies a Hillman and a Swain, “Whose lot let no man choose; “They Hved in sin, and died in pain, “And the Devil got his Dews (dues )" Destroying ^moorshine stills seems id have been a popular sport in Sooth Carolina this year. Over in Bam berg County Sheriff Ray captured a big one on the old Jack Hunter place adong with Clayton Jolly and Wilden JUusar white, operators. In Aiken County Sheriff Robinson seized two plants near the old Dkvis place and at Cox’s Bridge with 1,000 gallons of boor. !. Sheriff Sam Willis up in Greenville has caused 101 outfits to come to grief this year. Soldier Brenner, formerly of here, It down at Waycroet, Ga., this week far a Mugging match with a sport ef that city, a bout having been arranged for tomorrow, Fatalities reported neoct week.

Every one laughs at the story, with perhaps softened malice, for to some extent he recognizes a kinship with the hero. The genuine, sincere, unassuming man, who is content to appear what he is and .nothing more, is the mil lionth man. What most people want is to be known ss great rather than simply be great. Try this on yourself: If you were offered the chance to have all the power and greatness, as well as all the responsibility, work and abuse, of a president of the United States and have no one ever know you were president-4iever get etedit for great acts if accomplished—would you accept? ;i ' Isn’t it recognition and not just pure achievement the thing desired? Of course recognition is part of it, but when it becomes the most im portant consideration, it assumes sn evil influence. . . ( Not everyone who says he •,de sires power and success really de sires those things. They are synonymous with work, worry a nd responsibility. What those who say they want them to desire »■ the by-products of power and success, the toothpicks and not the meal. They want the yachts, the trips to Palm Beach and the. Packard limous ines. To really eat you must pay; to chew a toothpick costs nothing. To really achieve costs work -and self-denial; to seem to a chieve (for a time!) requires only a weak con science. Every “show-off" desires the results of achievement, but is unwil ling to pay the price. He would rather chew the toothpick of fraud than eat the substance of paid-in-ad vance actuality. To seem to be, to all but the shrewd est eye, has all the attractions and none A the hardships of actual being. In Sunday School we used to sing: “This day the noise of battle; The next the Victor’s song!” The noise of battle must precede the song of victory. The Royal Order of Toothpick Chewers try to reverse the sequence, and it can’t be done. .Man Shoots Wife. . The gentleman at the right is not combative.
