Swindling the Fat. Due to the feminine craze for slim figures, thousands of women are be ing swindled by venders of alleged fat-reducing preparations, which have no value whatsoever. Put up in the form of "fat reduc ing chewing gum,” or "fat reducing gum drops,” some of these fake fat cures are quite attractive, but several of them which have been analyzed were found to contain nothing conduc ive to slenderness, except a drug hav ing a slight laxative effect. These reducing remedies are us ually accompained by instructions to only about half as much as usual, to take long walks, and be sparing in the use of bread and potatoes. Fol lowing these directions would tend to secure the desired results, of course, without the chewing gum or gum drops. Doctors tell us that it isn’t health ful for fat people to be slim, anyway.

More extended instruction in the •handling of machinery, and particu- Mrly in the use of electricity, is advo cated for farm boys by the Federal Board for Vocational Education, ac- cstding to the southern regional agent. He declares that electricity is rapid ly becoming used to a greater extent «a farms, particularly in the South and in other sections where water power is available. For this reason he arges the necessity for requiring voca- tkmal agricultural teachers to study tha operation of electrical equipment, ao that they may teach the boys un- tbeir charge how to employ it in farming. Recently a specialist in the Depart- of Agriculture pointed out that XMchanical power can be produced at Mat than half the coat of animal power. The increased coat of man power is also an important factor in battening the employment of a great- or . number and a larger variety of labor-saving machines. The farmer of the future must have a certain amount of mechanical knowledge, hence the farm boy should begin as early as possible to master tha practical operation of power- operated machinery. • • • • • • • • • • • That two of Barnwell's most con servative and substantial business are reported to have regained their youth by playing in the Banda of Sullivan’s Island last week-end? • • .

Meye lf ' June 10, 1930 * • While speaking of the cuke market, the cotton market and the farm prices prevailing in and around Barnwell and other places of these United States, we might also mention the new tariff bill just passed by our great law-making body—Congress. According to dis- patiches in the daily press, it is sup posed to help the working classes by increasing the already high cost of living to the tune of ten million dol lars in this State alone. This money will be paid to the manufacturers, who are supposed to pass it back to the people by paying a steeper wage price—but how many concerns are go ing to raise the price of wages when there are so many unemployed people who will be glad to get work at any wage ? And, too, how will this help the Farmer, who, in our humble opinion is Public Servicee. the man that needs the help, support, Of all the men who hjye served in aid—any other words relating to this Congress since the beginning of our subject would be appreciated by the government, Joseph G.

When I was a boy 36 years ago, the rattle of a few dimes was enough to create a panic at any "pound party” that I ever attended. But things are so different now. Blouses and knickers have taken the place of the shirttail, BVD’s have ta ken the place of nothing, the rayon house dress has foredd the mother- hubbard into oblivion, the silk hose are occupying the positions that cotton stockings once boasted of, and soap serves where sand used to reign su preme. It must be mighty fine to be a youngster now. A kid appreciated a "thumb paper” more in 18 and 94 than a child of today appreciates a paint ing by Whistler. The youngun that used broom straw 8 and pine needles for toys back yonder has to buy fire- trucks and golf-clubs for his little lambs. The greatest thing that I ever possessed was a lead pencil (that pos sibly cost a penny) that my uncle gave me, and after I got it, I didn’t have any paper to scribble on, but every plank in our house had some thing "wrote” on it. A nice slate .and 6 slate pencils cost 5 cents about 30 or 35 years ago. Be fore germs were discovered, all school children licked their slates cleap when they wanted to erase a sum or a sen- .*» • • • fence. I had the reputation of being the fastest slate licker in our school. I remember once that I licked both aides of my slate plumb clean and licked one side of Sallie Lou’s slate before my nearest competitor got one side of his licked. though his service wm s not continuous. Justin 8. Morrill, of Vermont, had the longest continuous record in Con- a little lets than 44 yean, between House and Senate. * * The census in some parts of the State show an influx to towns and cit ies.

When a friend happened to the good luck of finding a small piece of a peeling from an onnge and brought it to school, he or she was the envy of the entire mob. Occasionally some of the most liberal childnn would give each of the schol- an a little pinch about as big as u chigger, but generally all she would do would let you smell her orange peeling through her book satchel— Netke te Debtors end Credit The attention of candidates in Bern- well County is called to paragraph one of Rule 26 of the Democratic Party in South Carolina, which is as follows: "26. * Candidates for the General Assembly and for county offices shall file with the chairman of the County Committee a pledge in writing to abide the result! of the primary and support the nominees thereof.
