Loyalty is all very fine, but usually the fellow who will lie for you will lie to you. A modern rhan recently said that the modern man is superior to the ancient Greeks. Italy is to have a national theatre, but Mussolini will gee to itlhat v there’s only one leading man. What the Senate needs now is some one with a gobd, strong voice to shout, “louder and funnier.” They’re teaching convicts trades now, but they probably won’t make trveling salesmen out of any of them. Lindburgh sets politicians a good example by always keeping his feet on the ground except when he’s fly ing. v ... ferocAyiR et Me Supply Your Needs in | Sash and Doors, Ceiling, Siding, Flooring, Moulding, Base, & Rough and Dressed Lumber of All Kinds. — r r - v ' ^ * — c .

MOLAIR Barnwell, South Carolina : f T r r r r r Y Y X ■f EEBSBBE A commission has been busy comr paring the amount of dust in the air in a number of differtmt cities and it may help some if the report urges people to keep their mouths shut so they won’t get dust in their lungs. Men of fashion are to wear shoes with sharp points and heels an inch and a quarter high, those who fix the styles have decreed, thereby proving that men of fashion are not always men of sense. EN PASSANT. It is emphatically denied that the popular song, “Me and My Shadow,” has anything do with the ground hog.

(Please note that no mention is made of the fair sex.) be in the hands of a committee which is to be selected from college, direc tors of home economics/and other au- ' 1 / thoritieS on the subject. It is explained that the purpose of the contest is to stimulate more in terest in the study of home economics. En&rebonifooli&h, others The a^holarshin/ offered a reforhome economics courses. These and the cash prizes /furnish an incentive for the future/nousewife to take part in the event/which, it is hoped, will bet ter fit’ /her ta assume th^ responsi bilities of home manager. The fi-0-1 Law. The editor of The People-Sentinel is not opposed to the 6-0-1 law in it^ entirety, but belu/ves that there are some inequalities in the measure that can be ironed out. He had Jtoped that a thorough discussion would be' had Do you remember when a combina tion of sand and hot pitch, thorough ly mixed, was used to “pave” the side walks in Barnwell? Those were the good old days! Galilee Locals. »gn i icdtii at the meeting of thei school trustees here Monday and sortie worthwhile suggestions made. Ivor that reason, he and others calliyl some features of the law to the attendtion of those present. The hoped-for general dis cussion of the act failed to develop, however, and the only lesult achieved, apparently, ms to place, in the eyes of some, those who think the law can he amended and who disagree with Stato Superintendent of Education Hope in his contention that the schools will be seriously crippled unless the General Assembly appropriates every cent/he asks for, as opponents of the im asuie and “enemies of education.’ We bolieve that the spirit of the Act—• that the strong should htJp the weak— is correct, but it is entirely possible that some of the apparently “weak” . ^ f * counties are weak because of too low tax assessments. For instance, it is hard to mconcite the material pros-, perty of Greenville County, with its great textile plants, department stores, etc., with the fact that Green ville, under the 6-0-1 law, is classed as 4 ‘weak” and in need of State aid for its schools. As we stated in thtV be ginning, we are not opppsed to the law, but if we can make a good law better, let’s do it. 'V , Show Just Begun. A visitbr at the “aviation fieh one day last week remarked tl if the pilots had been running “c (e accounts” they would have # aj land-office^ business. It used to be said tha^ if every Chinaman would add an/inch to his shirt-tail, the extra demand created for cotton would greasy advance the price of the stapled Probably the same result could by obtained now if / -a 1 the ultpa-fashjonafrie girls and women could Be induced to wear -cotton ^ p- ' ■ e (dresses* and adff an inch thereto. A BarnweH philosopher remarked the other day that the best thing a husband can bequeath to his wife is a big family of little children. In the course of time, he said, they grow up and at least some of them develop in to worthwhile men and Women wbo can and will care for the mother , in her old age. : On the other hand, ac cording to the philosopher’s observa tion, money or property is lost sooner or later in unwise investments on th.e part of the widow. The political prognosticators -whom we have always with us, ’t seems, in greater numbers than the poor—have already placed, according to thtir party leaning, either A! Smith or Herbert Hoofer in the White House. They need to be re minded, in either case, that many things can happen before the time is ripe for the parties to choose candi dates, and that stbl more things can happen before the voters -h »ose a President to succeed Calvin Coolidge. s As a matter of r acr, the big show of 1928 has only just begun. So far, much of the action has been comedy, but the serious business will come later. With such matters as religion and prohibition threatening, at least, to be either open or voiled issues, the campaign bids fair to.be exciting. It will require some expert side-stepping to make it dull. And for this liason, if for no other, the political prophets are likely to see their forecasts go awry. The ending of the show of 1928 is not as easy to predict as many think. Girls Have Chance to Win Scholarship Knowledge of cookery, food values, selection as toiBbaltty^br other phases of the subject of meat, may bring local high school girls within reach of /a university - scholarship 'cash award if—they can transfer ; this knowledge to paper. High school home economics teach ers have just received formal an nouncement of the Fifth National Meat Story Contest. The contest is held annually in high schools of the United States under the sponsorship of the National Live Stock and Meat Board. It has the indorsement'of col lege home economics head^ and other leaders of the field who look upon it a«» a valuable educational project. Interi'st in the contest has increas ed each year, it is said. Last y^ar approximatedy 14,000 girls from high schools in every State of the union competed and the Board expects that even a larger number will be enroil- ..ed in the present corrupt. As in the past, the distribution of prizes ‘ is arranged so that girls in every Sta f e will be among the winners. Miss Rosa Gertrude Schmidt, of Moores- town, N. J., .won the national cham pionship last ytar., The present contest will close on „ March 15', according tp the announee- | ment. Judging of the the stories will Mr. and Mrs. Dewis Creech, - of Augusta, visited relatives in this sec tion last week-end. Mr. and Mrs. Hertry Zissett of States boro, Ga., ’wure the guests of relatives in this section last week. Mins. Otis Creech is spending some time with her brother, Henry Zissett, in Statesboro^, Ga. She will also visit her brother, Jim Zissett, in Savannah, before returning home. Mr. and Mrs. Dave Black visited thti latter’s father in Jasper Cofinty Sunday. ' ——' Miss Gertrude Morris, of Olar^was "the week-end guest of Misses Ida Black and Kathleen a nd Sadie Creech. Mrs. Matilda Grooms and Miss Edna Proteaux attended the recent teach er’s meeting at Dunbarton. SWEET IODINE.’ Over in Barnwell iT is .said the pu pils of the high school are singing new words to the old tune of “Sweet Adeline 1 — which. was -the-- song of a generation, ago. This time it is the meaningful word substituted for “Adeline,” w’hlch is “iodine.” Recent- ly there has been much said and s Written about the iodine contents of foWH crops grown in coastal South Carolina, partfctirailv in the Edisto- Savannah rivers^ section. It is said that; food crops growh here if eaten by people anywhere show their fine qualities in good health and longevity and particularly in the absence of glandular diseases, goitr^ being par ticularly unknown in coastal Carolina. All this has been broughtout since the organization of the'Edisto^Savan- nah Rivers Development' Asociation; and through visits of Dr. William Weston, a noted expert on food co tents, to the meetings held over this section. Over in Barnwell there is a * ^ mighty fine man and loyal, public- spirited citizen who has a keen sense of humor with overflowing wit. Col. Harry Calhoun has arranged a parody on “Sweet Adeline” and has introduc ed the song in v ^he Barnwell schools. It is reported that “Sweet Iodine” has overnight become as popular as ever was “Sweet Adeline.” * 4 The following is Col. Calhoun’s ver sion: fort fine, . This is where the crqps have Sweet Iodine. Chorus: Sweet Iodine, that gift ; divine, Makes health supreme, confirms our dreams. ' - From every cloud, we cry aloud Blessings on sunshine, Sweet Iodine. ,v # 1 Iodine, calcium, phospha% and the kind, Abounds in our crops, to us is just sublime, Men grow bigger, kids just extra fine, - Just because we live . on, Sweet Iodine.
