In view of the fact that this is “Be Kind to Animals Week," the following tribute delivered by U. S. Senator George G.

Hf will sleep on the cold ground, when the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only ^ # V he may be near his master’s side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer, he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the rough ness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. “When all other friends desert, he remains. When ridhes takes wings and reputation falls to pieces he is as constant jn his love as the sur. in its journey through thci heavens. If for tune drives the master forth an out cast into the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful -dog asks no higher privilege thar, that of accom panying him, to guard against danger, to fight against his enemies,vand when the last scene of all comes, and death takes his master in its embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by his grave- i side will the noble dog be found, his head 1 between his paws and his eyes sad, hut <>P*n in alert watchfulr«0ss, faithful and true even to death." jr Arthur Bmbuw CONTROL OF POWER SOURCES. FRANK B. WILMS. WAR AGAINST RATS. . AMERICAN FLYING. Canada’s Government encourages use of electric power, particularly on farms and in small communities. Water power is developed fully to generate the current, and all are as sisted in its installation. Farmers are taught to grind feed with it, pump water and do their other Work" " ' And, by the way, United States farmers are urgently invited by the Canadian government to settle in Canada. Our attention here is concentrated on a different problem. We want to make sure that the right people get* posscssio'n of our power sources, the right people being those that control power and peddle it to the people. As to farmers and others that buy and use power, our Government has not found time to think about them. What the Oath Prescribes. . A good deal hit been jmUL in the pree* recently about the Junior sena- tor,, from South Carolina, special re ference being made to the fact that Senator Blease has voted with the Republicans in the Senate on nearly eivery issue before the national legis lative body. The senator has repeat edly inferred that he is a free lance and that he is privileged to vote as he pleases. , In view of his utterances on the subject, it is quite interesting to note what the -rules and regulations of the Democratic party of South Carolina, 1924, under which Senator Blease was nominated by the Democrats, have to say. Every candidate for a Democratic nomination was required to subscribe to the following oath: “As a candidate for the office of in the Demo cratic primary election, to be -held -on the last Tuesday in August, 19—, 1 herdby pledge myself to abide the results of such primary and support the nominees of the party, State and National, anl I declare that I am a Democrat and that I am not nor will I become a candidate of any faction, either privately or publicly suggested, other; than the regulation Democratic nomination." Candidates, however, for the Unit ed States Senate or house of repre sentatives, were required to subscribe to an- additional pledge as follows: “I will support the political principles ard policies of the Democratic party during the term of office for which I may be elected, and work in accord With my Democratic associates in congress on all party questions.’’ . If the senator has ever taken the trouble to read the rules and regula tion* of the party which nominated and elected him to his exalted office, it must be apparent to him that in electing himself as a fme lance, he^ is not only violating the principbwj^ ‘ the Democratic party of South Ca^ j lina, but'he is, a s well, violating a solemn pledge which he subscribed to in the form of an oath. If he had not subscribed to this oath, ho could not 1 have been nominated by the Demo crats of the State. On numerous is sues Senator Blease has stood almost alone among the Democrats in. the senate in voting with the Republicans. No senator or representative elected by Soutfi Carolina Democrats has the slightest right, leigal or moral, to vote with the Republicans on any party issue.—Bamberg Herald. Prophecy is usually dangerous, par- ticularly dangerous for farmers when government prophecies go wrong. The Government forecast on potatoes last Fall predicted a crop greater than the real one. Many farmers sold in a hurry at low prices, sbme\were not marketed, many fed to stock. Then the shortage was seen, price went up, a few wise^people made the money, NOT the farmers. The sudden death of Senator Willis, in his battle for Ohio’s Presi dential delegates, ended tragically one phase of the 1928 campaign. Senator Willis would have pre ferred to die fighting. Those that know Secretary Hoover know that Senator Willis’ death will cause him sincere grief. A powerful man, never sparing himself. Senator Willis forgot that there are limits to the heart’s endur ance. A tired heart often succumbs in the most powerful man, wearied by constant strain. The dead man’s widow - attributed the Senator’s attack to the fumes of smoky flares that he had been inhal ing constantly, in the course of a political parade. A weak heart, fighting against poisoned' air, is in danger.

A new note of anima tion and sincerity shows in their voices. That is because they are glad th« agony isFover. "• - Friends are not company. They come when they wish and go when they wish; select the chair they like best; sit at ease; talk or read as they prefer; helf> themselves to fruit with out waiting for an invitation; smoke ife they wish; go back to the G E. for a cold bottle; in short, make themselves at home and accept with out restraint the welcome they know is theirs. Anybody may have acquaintances. But only the favored of the gods have friends. For real friends anrborn and not made, and in all the world there are but few who are worthy of your. love and able to love you in return.— Robert Quillen in The Fountain Inn Tribun*. The League of Natrons proposes international war against rats, their complete extermination. Such a war, made to include mos quitoes and flics, would be the best war in history. It would save every year in lives and money as much as the big war cost in any year.

In the yast traffic handled by the Southern^ Railway System today is the story of the South’s dramatic rise toward industrial and agricultural A supremacy. The Southern is inseparably linked with the destinies of the South. Its development to one of the most efficient transportation systems in. k the world has been made possible by the growth of the South—and has in turn laid the foundation for greater and more rapid progress of this great section in the future. , Our sixty thousand employees, Southern men and wo men, are proud in the knowledge that their job today is . to build a greater Southern to serve a greater South. No more rats, no more bubonic plague. No more mosquitoes, no more yel low fever or malaria. No more tse-tse ffies, no more sleeping sickness. No more house flies, no more filth dragged over food of young chil dren. < It would be interfering with Nature’s plans, perhaps. Darwin says a pair of tropical flies and their maggot offspring can dispose of a lidh’i carcass in a few hours. Kill all the lions and. the flies would not be needed-to dispose of the carrion.

George Haldeman and Eddie Stin son, Americans, broke the world’s endurance record in the air, flying without stopping fifty-three and one- half hours.
