And now we expect some scribe to remaik that “Winter lingers in the lap of Spring.” A local farmer is said to have cut several crate* of asparagus Sunday, which sold for $8 per crate. Boy, page Governor Richards! Farmers wise Will reduce the size Of this year's cotton crop. Otherwise— To their surprise— Prices will be a flop. South Carolina is getting a lot of valuable advertising from the iodine content of vegetables. Other State? in the Southeast are clamoring for analyses of their vegetables also, claiming that they are just as high in iodine content a s those of the Palmet to State. Perhaps, so, but we told it first. A woman out in Chicago held 13 diamonds in a bridge game—and bid aix no-trumps. Friend husband, who was her partner, promptly hit her over the head with a cut-glass bowl when he ?aw what she had done. Now, she is suing for divorce, charg ing cruelty. But how any woman as dumb ag that ever got married is the puzzle. While Russia is boasting of having dosed all churches in entire districts, a little town in Georgia proclaims to the world that it has eight dwellings and seven churches, and at the same time a young rabbi in New York City quits the ministry because, he says, “Clara Bow has more to do with the morals of young women than Bishop Manning; Sigmund Freud influences more lives than the saints in heaven; a seat on the stock exchange is worth more to a vast majority of people than a portion of paradise and the collapse in security values of a few months ago gave rise to more heart felt prayers that the liturgy.” Cost* and Farm Income. ' JC- In his annual report L. J. Tabor, master of the National Grange, de clares that the task before the Ameri can farmer is not only to produce ef ficiently, but also to reduce at every opportunity the cost of production. In other words, the farmer’s profit depends upon his being able to pro duce his crops at a cost below the price at which he must sell them, lather than upon the size of the crops themselves. Obviously one of the chief aids to economical production is the employ ment of modern equipment suitable to the needs of the individual farmer Concerned. Such equipment, judic iously selected, effectively used, and taken care of when not in use, is es sential to success under present-day conditions. Another important feature of pro fitable farming is the raising of as much food and feed as possible at home. As has been so often pointed out, the cow, sow and hen, with hay, pasture and a good garden, are among the most valuable adjuncts of a sound farm program. The decisions made along these lineg during the next few weeks will largely determine the farmer’s profit or loss during 1930. Ford Philanthropy. It was almost inevitable that Henry Ford should sooner or later adopt some plan for devoting a part of his great fortune to the service of man* kind. His plan was announced a few days ago, and involves spending some $100,000,000 *for the founding of •chools, and giving the rest of his metfve life to the cause of education. He said that some of the schools weald be large institutions and that they would be placed in various parts of the country, but'that the number bad not been decjdfd. His principal otyect was stated to be the assistance young men to. .find suitable places the world. I the purposed Ford sihooli will St practical side of «iacatioo “ “ * “ by thiir donor's ex iraiy one shook learn a trade, so as to be able to find employment in at least one line of useful effort. As a hint to those who may feel the urge to offer him unwanted advice concerning his program, Mr. Ford say s that he intends to invest* his money in his own way, ^oes not care for any suggestions from per sons who never made or saved |i dol lar themselves. However he may dispose of the millions he has declared to devote to his latest activity, it is safe to say that his decision will have a farreach- ing and beneficial effect upon succeed ing generations of young people. Luncheon on a Huge New Dam in Common Sense Justice. One of the distressing results of sending men to prison indiscriminate ly for all sort of offenses is that it often works a terrible hardship on those dependent upon them. Judge Nova, of Brooklyn, is one who recog nizes this, and in certain case s adopts practical means to protect innocent victims of the law’s operation. When Frank Biuno, who earn s $50 a week, was brought before him re cently and pleaded guilty to having two wives, one with t,wo children and the other with one, the judge said: “I would gladly send you to Sing Sing, but your two wives and their children would be the sufferers. You will pay the wife with two children $20 a week and the wife with one child $15.” Thus five persons, who would have been deprived of support through sending Bruno to the penitentiary, were provided for, while the culprit will he constantly reminded of his offense and is not likely to repeat it. That appears to be justice temper- ed with common sense. Last Veteran to Quit. It is with a tinge of sadne** that v _ we note the intention of Congressman .Charles Manly Stedraan, of North Carolina, to retire from public life at the end of his present term, at which time he will be 90 years of age. The sentimental feeling regarding Major Stedman, which is shared by North and South alike, comes through the fact that he i s the last veteran of the Civil War who will ever occupy a seat in Congress. S«£0tor Warren, of Wyoming, the last Union soldier in that t>ody, died last fall. Another striking fact about Major Stedman is that he did not enter Con gees?, unit he was 70 years old, yet was elected for 10 consecutive terms, and will have served 20 years as a Representative when he retires on March 4, 1931. Major Stedman wa* born on Janu ary 29, 1841; served as private, lieu tenant. captain and major under Lee, and was wounded three times in ac tion. He served as lieutenant-gov ernor of North Carolina before his election to Congress. He is a lawyer by profession. On his recent birthday, Congress man Daughton of hts State paid a glowing tribute to Major Stedman. Could Have Avoided Years of Suffering MRS. G. W.

Advertise in The Faqple-SentineL Doctors Disagree * When children are irritable and peevish, grind their teeth and sleep restlessly, have digestive pains and dis turbances, lack of appetite, and have itching eyes, nose am appetite, ai id fingers, doctors will not always agree that they are suf fering from worms. Many mothers, too, will not believe that their carefully brought up children can have worms.

C OTie Coast Line I- T HE Petersburg Railroad, organized 100 years ago, was conceived by the people of Peters burg, Virginia, as a means of increasing their trade. It was built with funds subscribed by the citizens and the city of Petersburg, and by the State of Virginia. Its officers and employees were men who lived in Petersburg or the sections along the railroad. Much the same is true of the other railroads that were later brought together in the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company. By far the larger number were built by local initiative, mostly with local capital, to supply local transportation needs. Their officers were men prominent in local affairs -and their, em ployees were drawn from the pick of the sub stantial people living along their rails. Practically everybody in the sections they served had a direct personal interest in these railroads because they were.awned and run by people whom they knew. Railroad officers not only knew every em ployee by his first name but knew something about each man’s family. Every employee knew all the officers. Common interest in*their work, a common pride in overcoming obstacles and making a good showing for the Company, bound officers and other employees together. With the gfoWtfc of the Atlantic Coast Line, men who demonstrated their ability advanced to more responsible jobs, until in turn many of them became officers. Each brought with him that intimate knowledge of the work so essential < to successful railroad operation. Each was imbued with that loyalty to the common cause that has made the **Coast Line Family” a reality. The ever lengthening rails of the Atlantic Coast Line now make impossible the constant contact between all officers and all employees, but the ” family” tradition persists as strongly as it ever did and is the Coast Line’s most valuable asset. Scores of Coast Line employees have fiever worked for any other employer. Some families have given three generations of valued workers to the Coast Line organization. Thirty-four Coast Line employees have worked for the Company or its predecessors for 50 years 1384 have served it 25 years or longer. Officers and employees— ; the men who run the Coast Line today—are for the most part from the sections served by Coast Line rails. They know the country and rhe people; they know the trans portation needs of every industry. Many of them own farms or are partners in various enterprises. All Have a personal interest in the advancement and growth of the Southeast. They and the Atlantic Coast Line are part and parcel of the Southeast; of one blood with the people that they serve. • And as long as the Atlantic Coast Line can attract to its ranks the same type of workers it has been fortunate in having in the' past it is confident of its ability to render an increasingly valuable service to the people and the industries of the Southeast. o ATLANTIC COAST LI N E The Standard Railroad of the South {This is the fourth sf * series sf advertisements hy the tAtiatu Cents Sjws 'Railroad, commemorating the centennial of i& edrtieO conBitsseut company — the 'Petersburg Ttaihoad Company) ■A*.
