(CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.) lets loose some night white everybody is getting ready to go to the picture show and tells all about the laid frog's innards and his respiratory organs and his jumping machinery. A boy that has been drilled in frog-ism can actually tell a frog from a cow at a distance of 10 or 12 feet ADVERTISE IN The People- Sentinel. I think it is mighty nice for the young folks to study the frog. Who knows but that some of them might go into the frog business some day? If a man or a woman were to be keep ing books and a big old frog were to jump up on hi 8 or her desk, I believe that such a person ought to know ex actly where to thump the frog so’s he would die right in bis tracks, and without having studied frogology, that frog might hop around in the ink and everywhere without personal injury. * _____ And the up-to-date teachers don't stop at dis-secting frogs. They have been known to go after bumble bees. One very bright girl was taught which end the bumble bee carried his stinger in during October and Novem ber last year, that is, she was taught that much during those two months, so don’t misunderstand me and think I am trying to tell which end of the anatomy of the bumble bee his stinger resided in during the months in ques tion. She also learned during the rest of the session where his eyeballs were located ansoforth. 1 believe every person ought to study Biology while in school. They can learn to read and write and figger after they are out of school, but It takes somebody that knows how to teach the younguns something about insects and reptiles. Uncle Joe’s Sam- mie worked on a snail 4 solid dsys in the'Nigh School year before last, and from the looks of the letter he wrote me not long ago, he evidently found out everything worth finding out about that snail. He would have possibly been knifing that snail yet it H had not of died. Yea, air, folks: I am a strong believer in leaving off every thing, if necessary, in order ’hat we find out what’s whet end where about Ud-poles ansoforth. Proeperitjr As It Is. Everything seems to be normal now except the people and the tax rate. Most everybody is talking hard times. The filling station effort seems to have reached the point of satura tion but they got all of the corner lots before they stopped. Installment buying is somewhat on the wane and *<> i* installment collec tions. If the boys were to undertake to re-possess their goods and wares, they would have to build additional warehouses to *1°™ them in. It seems to be a caae of watchful wait ing, the seller has his eye on the buyer and vice versa. There seems to be a scarcity still of parking space. Short rides are more common than long ones. Only about 85 per cent of the cars have been dressed up with license plates. In dustry seems to be curtailing with a vim at this writing and there is no room on the creek and river banks for more fishermen. What a happy life the laborer is living: Just think of it—nothing to do but fish and fish. This period of idleness is not con fined to the cotton mills of the South 'only. The automobile and steel plants up North and down East are resting. The rat trap factories are running on short time. Even the rayon mills are not working but half time. We have struck a snag: Everything hag been over-done. There are too many folks and too few jobs. What's wrong? ✓ Nothing except wo'vs wasted our wealth in riotous living and lost our credit trying to keep up with the Joneses. Times will be better when the people make them better—by laying up something for a rainy day and stop depending on the other fellow for help. And the Re publicans told us that their adminis tration would be one of universal prosperity. But it could be worse. For Congress. Beaufort, S. C., June 8, 1930.
