Several different vegetables were canned that particular day, and the^cAwier ..and hand sealer left with the.UamUy to try out for several days. In about a month’s time the family had bought a steam pressure cannw, a Burpee sealer, and were canning for sale. By September the family had canned and sold 1910 can-s of vegetables to ■ local anrt city merchants. More vegetables and fruits are be ing canned, and less jams jellies and pickles. Health (’onteat. A health and health improvement contest has been held for dub girla. Food and health habits of girls were scored for eight weeks and the one in each contest- making tho highest score was selected to represent the county at the State Short Course. "Eating of more vegetables, fruits and milk was reported aivl an improve- jnent in health habits in general. The - winner in the county contest in health improvement was also winner in the district contest and the State contest. Muriel Norris, this winner, gained 11 pound’s in weight, improved her pos ture, had dental defects corrected and formed many good health habits by foil owing health rules. One club member decided she want ed to reduce and asked the assistance of the agent. A diet list and a set of exercises wcr e furnished her and to each meeting the scales were car ried. At the end of five months she had lost 20 pounds and her friends were so much interested, that they too wanted to follow her plan. The agent wa s called on for three more lists. At the same time she was re ducing her weight, she was studying child feeding in order to feed the baby properly f ;r gain in weight. National Music Week was observed in one community. The Home Demon stration Club members arranged for the meeting while the xigent secured the services of the music club in one of the town* for theT program. A garden-rally in connection with the spring meeting of the Farm Women’s Council was held. Many vrdtorS from the town and all parts of the county attended and expressed an appreciation of the splendid dis play of flowers and vegetables. The demonstrations in artistic flowers ar- ranjMtmcnt and grading of vegeta- ^bles for market wc»jp discussed far and near. A fall meeting of the Farm Women’s Council was held and a Health Program carried out. Every community except one was Tepresent- ed. Improve Court House (grounds. Through the efforts of the Clerk of Uouil. a few int rested town women, apd the : gent, work on the court •house grounds W!:'- started. Until November, 1929, the ground space as a sale yard where mules, horses, ol Fords, farm impleryents, etc., were •Bold every month for taxes' and other debts. The scene on “Sdes.’ay” wa s very offensive t<> all who had any ■civic pr de, but no one had assumed the responsibility of trying to make a change. But the .opportunity af- /orded when Mr. Mulford, Horticul ture t from Washington, made his second visit to the. county to check «P on work previously planned. Mr. Mulford drew some plans for improv ing the grounds and then the approval ■•ef the county board of directors w;as sought. The sales yard was moved to th e rear of the building and grading and paving done. Later gras-: was set and plants placed. One year’s growth doesn’t make a big show, but the entire contrast between the ap pearance of the ecurt house in the fall of 1929 and 1930 Is marked.

Representative R. C. Holman, of Barnwell County, has proposed a measure in the house pioviding for the legal sale of “medical” whiskey. Newspaper stories about tho - bill quote Mr. Holman as saying that the State would derive a million dol lar* a year revenue fiom the law if enacted. He leasons thus; HS^ould charge a fee of 50c on every prescrip tion Idled for medical whiskey, ahtf charge a license of $100 for 4 every con cern filling such prescriptions. Now let’s see. Suppose 1,000 con cern' were licensed to fill prescrip tions. We can hardly see why that many should be .required, but just sup pose so. That would be $100,000 in lieense fees. That leaves $900,000 a year yet fo 1h- accounted fcr. • At 50c aiece,. it would require 1,800,000 prescriptions to equal the balance of the revenue estimated to accrue frun the medical liquor law. .That means that Mr. Holman is ex pecting a very unusual amount of sickness in the State.—Bamberg He i aid.

Although banking along* with all business has suffered reverses, conditions In this field have been far loss sever© than they would have been had not bankers been widely success ful In their endeavors to develop tho high standards of banking that now' generally prevail, 1 The American Bankers Association and bankers’ organizations in every" state actirefy support the principle of government supervision of banking. The national banks, which receive their charters to do lttrainesa~ffeB^'thO' . federal government, aro under the su pervision of tho Comptroller of tho Currency at Washington. Through his efficient staffs of expert bank examiners in every section he has tho duty and powers to keep watch of the way every national bank is being conducted, to suggest desirable changes in Its pol^ cies or methods and even to step in •and take control for tho protection of the depositors if suclt*action is war ranted. Tho state banks, also, which are chartered by the various state gov ernments, arc-subject to similar su pervision and control by state bank officials. In addition banks in many places have long maintained voluntary clearing house associations which en- members.
