What Price Marketing? An extension service bulletin says that a total of $148,598 in “actual cash” was brought to farm families last year through the work of county home agents in farm produce market ing. But what was the cost to the taxpayers for this service? When Judges Err. {-‘THAT LITTLE CAME”B. Link ) <SSoME&ot>Y , f Placing MV , | HAMD FOR VA ME ? Circuit judges err, it is respectfully submitted, when they suspend the sentences of habitual criminals and turn them loose to prey again on or ganized society. A man of criminal record, who has been duly tried and convicted by a jury and sentenced by the presiding judge should be made to serve his term of imprisonment. And to turn them lose on condition that they leave the State within a specified time is hardly “toting fair” with sister commonwealths. Why not punish , our own criminals instead of trying to force them on the citizens of other States? j Nobody’s Business | By Gee McGee. i Shallow Stuff. I read in the paper the other day where the power companies and thj tobacco manufacturers pay an annual tax of $2,500,000,000.00. W’hy that’s not true. They pay a small property tax of about $325,000,000.00 and col lect the balance, $2,175,000,000.00 from their customers and turn it over to the tax gatherers. They pa-s everything on to the consumer ex cept the noise they make in advertis ing these facts (?) and figures. Cotton Letter. New York, Jan. 14.—Liverpool came in lower than due because of the weaknes s of the pound sterling. France i s still counting her gold, and is willing to pay the interest on her debts if the principle is forgiven; that hurt the longs and helped the shorts, but the straddler’s contined to sit pretty. The bulls contend that the last government estimators counted round bales as square, but March broke two point s when this informa tion ticked in as a false report. We suggest cotton underwear and other- cotton usages, such as cotton red- tape and cotton-aids. But hold; you can’t get hujt any worse. ’ Marital relations seem to be more copjuvial out in the Hi llywoods. Sev eral couples are still living together that have been married neatly ten months. The depression seem 3 to have made a hit in that locality. The New Year has not brought so many surprises. Everybody is “knocking” along as usual. The bread lines are slightly longer and jobs are somewhat scarcer, but there is (plenty work to do. The sun shines «very day when it is not cloudy. Our preachers still preach w-ithout (much) pay and our teachers still teach and hope. Most of u s get sufficient food to sustain soul and body while listen ing at the radios, and a family of 4 can live on 20 ceriTs a week, but the only trouble is—where can they get the 20 cents? A naturalist, employed by the United States, has at last found the missing link in butterflies. He hunt ed only 10 years foro this precious flutterer. Now there ain’t anything else to learn about butterflies. He ■was caught in the Andes. He has an extra hair on his chin, but is other wise just like his fellow-butterflies. Hurrah for our dscoverers, including Columbus and this guy. Pre-war beer is just around the corner. Fifteen or 20 bottles of the 32 model will make a man look like a cabbage and feel like a dummy. What this country will need—after the arrival of this weak stuff— is a false stummick so’s he can drink enough of it to say, “Hie, ole ’oman, been in conference all-nite. How’s ole gal, Whoope-e-e.” Unless it stronger than it sounds (32), think IT1 just hang to soda pop; it’s suae!

The government is wasting $750,- 000.00 fighting the boll weevil and other cotton pests. I say—give that money to the cotton farmer to help pay his taxes. Instead of trying to destroy these blessed insects, we should import some worse ones and see that they aie protected. The $550,000.00 expended by Un de Sam in his mad chase after the corn borer would help the corn grow ers in the matter of paying taxes on their chewing tobacco, etc. We are making too much corn, so why not let the corn borei bore, and make it a misdemeanor fo;- any person to harbor or hunt a single one of them (or a married one, a s for that) while in the discharge of his or her duty in reducing the price of corn. Furthermore, let the wheat fly alone. The $800,000.00 that the gov ernment uses for the eradication of this helpful varmint should go to the education of the farmers’ children. What the wheat belt needs is more and worse pests. It might be desira ble sooner or later to propagate a worm or a wasp that will bite every other wheat farmer on the neck and paralyze him for life so’s he can’t starve the world to death with so much grain. the ground; but my ground s.peed had never exceeded 75 m. p. h., and then I was so scared I perspired a pint of sw'eat per minute. The aforementioned handsome pilot was evidently deeply in love. He reached into a side pocket and fetched forth a letter from his Dinah, and he sat up there and read that missive and smiled and puckered his mouth with as much comfort and satis faction as if he were sitting on a log down on terra firma. After reading his letter, I thought sutely he would reach over and touch something on the da.'h hue he didn’t have dash baords on his mind—It was “Nothing But Love.” And there’s the poor, innocent bean beetle. Your Uncle Sammy ii after him also. He has thousands of workeis with tiaps, sticky paper, fly swatters and $545,000.00 every year giving chase and I have been inform ed. thai these employees actually kill ed 2 or 3 of these horrible beetles during 1931. Beans ain’t worth pick ing now, so why interfere with the destruction of the surplus crop, The citrus fly, but, by the way, they killed him (only him, mind you) in Florida in 1928—at a cost of only $0,285,000,000. Result: 50 potent of the oranges are rotting in the fields, and now Florida wants her “med fly” back—not that he really injured or destroyed any oranges, but he wa« a fine price booster. The next thing that pilot did was get out his passenger report and pencil and check up hi s live stock. I expected every minute to land on top of the Saturday Evening Post build ing in Philadelphia. But nothing happened and he kept on paying no attention to where we were going or why. ~T star ted to tell the frol to grab his wheel and keep his feet on the brakes and blow his horn, but his motors were making too much fus s to talk. * After I had decided our pilot was not plumb crazy and that he intended to take charge of the plane again, he commenced to look out across the country toward Great Britain, and I then made up my mind that it was all over—as we were just a< sure to hit a star, or the moon, or something, as pie. While I was worrying that chump twisted a iittle gadget, turned the plane kinder sideways, and barely missed a pasture fence and landed in Baltimore. — Therefore, friends, what this coun try needs to restore profitable agri culture is —more bugs and worms, fewer bujf and worm killers, no farm board and les s farm relief, plenty of had weather, straight-shooting politi cians, less graft, larger penitentiar ies, lower taxes, no installment sell ing, lower freight rates, and less gov ernment interference with business. We have been "relieved” of about everything we ever' possessed. That’s all. Sailing High. _-’__A few nights ago, I was flying fiom New York south. Nine other nice fe’lows were on the plane with me, exclusive of a pretty blond and the pilot, who showed signs of much intelligence. I don't j^et scared like.I uster get in planes. I’ve made up my mind that if thevlained thing fell that it wouldn’t add very much to the de pression. There is no place so un safe as the public highway nowa days. Everybody i s in a hurry, but noboddy knows why. The claim is— we save "time.”. We have possibly saved 5,000,000,000.000,000 hours dur ing the past 12 months, but what have we done with all of this time we have saved? If you ask me, I say, we have wasted it. Anyway, I want my future airpilots to look where they are agoing. i «< PUBLIC SCHOOL FACTS. Naturally I was disposed to think that a pilot ought to pay lots of at tention to his job. We were ‘way up in the air, probably 4,000 feet, hut were making only about 150 miles per hour. That ain’t fast in the ele ments, but it’s hitting ’em rapid on By Dan C'rosland. The State’s public school system has had nearly a mushroom growth since 1900, -according to statistics compiled by the Research Committee of the South Carolina Education Association. The phenomenal increase in enroll ment, and consequently in physical expansion, can be seen in a compari son with the population rise in the period ^between 1900 and 1930. In 1900, the population of the State was 1,340,316; in 1930, jt was 1,732,567. The population increase in the 30 years wa s 29 per cent.^ In 1900, the school enrollment was 269,875; in 1930 it was 496,370. The enrollment increase was 84 per cent., 55 per cent, higher than the rise in population during the corresponding period. The swiftly increasing demand for public school education in the State is shown in high school enrolment fig ures since 1912. That year there were 8,839 students in high school, in 1922 thele were 18,638; and in 1932, 43,956. i • The remarkable growth of school population,, as revealed by these fig ures, not only shows how general and heavy the demand for common school education ha s been, but also indicates how inevitable the tremendous ex pansion in physical equipment for schooling was in the beginning. This Woman Lost 64 Pounds of Fat Mr«. H. Price of Woodside, L. I. writes: “A year ago I weighed 190 Ibe. I started to take Kruschen and now I weigh 126 and never felt better in my life and what's more, I look more like 20 yrs. old than the mother of 2 chil dren, one of 19 and the other 18.
