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?

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?

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!

How the Government Relieves
the Farmer.
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.

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. My
friends say it’s marvelous the way I
reduced.”
To lose fat SAFELY and HARM
LESSLY, take a half teaspoonful of
Kruschen in a glass of hot water in
the morning before breakfast—don’t
miss a morning—a bottle that lasts 4
weeks costa but a trifle—but don't
take chances—be eure it’s Kruschen.
If not Joyfully satisfied after the first
bottle—money back.
