Her life was one of sin gular beauty and purity, and her memory will long be fragrant with •• good deeds that have made her name « household word in many homes. Otir County.—Farmers are gener ally happy. Their barns and smoke houses are on their own premises and not, a a in past year's, in Northwestern States. . . A strange feeling of unrest, inspired by last year’s pros perity, makes many desirous of going somewhere or somewhere else to a better country. Fortunately their surroundings will not permit them to make fools of themselves to spend years in repairing damages caused by too hasty action. Trade.—Since the holidays trade has been dull; merchants hesitate to advance and the crowd of credit hun ters is not as great or clamorous as in former years. Merchants who ad vertise are doing pretty well but all others are deservedly and miserably blue. Oops.—The labor su|>ply is equa' to the needs cf the country if not to the ambitious desires of the Cotton- tots. The area in cotton will be no larger than last year, and proviso n crops will be specially planted and cultivated by sensible farmers. JANUARY 23, 1907. 7'he swamp alder is blooming, but that’s no sign of Spring. Mr. J. A. Porter paid on Thursday andFriday to three farmers ever $5,- 000 fer export cotton. - ..i-» -few moi e day s Allendale anj Barnwell will he talking over the long distance telephone.

Rice, now a conductor on the Southern Railway between Al lendale and Columbia will probably make Allendale his home. On January 11th Mr. Willie Mixson and family of Sycamore township ate their last watermelon cf the crop of 1907. It was perfect in firmnesg and flavor and reminded the feasters of the past pleasures and good times to come. It wa s gathered before fully ripe and a piece of vine a couple of feet long cut (ff and left attached. The melon continued to feed °n the sap in the vine a long time. It was kept in the house and no special care :aken. Miss Bertha Walker died Tuesday afternoon from injuries received that morning when her hutse ran away and ki she was thrown from the buggy with frightful force, her head striking a tree by the street side. She was the daughter of the late Mr. Jesse Wal ker. Both her parentg are dead. RESUME OF REPORT OF MISS ELIZABETH MeNAB (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.) brooder 8 are used by all club mem- bers except one who used electricity.

Records of these six Shew the fol lowing facts: 4,485 chicks purchased, 2422 fryers sold and used at home— value, $1,055.55, and 1,017 mature bird s on hand with a value of $1,- 017,00 TMiaareat profit made by any one member was 20 per cent, on the investment. The record of Billy Manning was considered excellent and is given by the following figuies: Number fry ers s old and used—590; value, $301.76; Number chicks purchased, 1,000, at a cost cf $93.00; cost of feed and fuel, $183.76; cost of house and brooder, $35.00; other supplies, $10.49; eggs sold and used, 275 dozen, value $55.73; mature birds on hand 305, value, $366.08. In figuring the piofit-one- third cost of houses and equipment is considered as the project covers a three year period. Marketing in the county has been done through general sales, carlot shipments of poultry, truck move ment of poultry, cream stations and a club market. Through the medium cf the club market the most constructive piece of marketing in the county has been done. Demonstrations in scoring of can ned products and grading of vegeta bles have been given at regular club meetings and production programs have been planned for the purpose of having an adequate supply of good quality products on the market throughout the year. Reports of the Barnwell County Market given at the quarterly meet ing show that sales have increased 8 per cent, over those for the corre sponding period of last year, in spite < f considerable drop in prices. The Club Market is meeting a specific need of the farm family by furnishing a little cash from time to time. One member stated, “If it were not for the club market, I woundn’t be able to keep my children in school. I have N • New Chevrolets Add Over 85,000 People to Payrolls of Nation mm wm?--^4 vXSSSvt; •: x-.y.4£«v' • ; - \ M +< • i •:y:-x-:vXv>y m m mM mm m bought all of their bcoks this year with my market money.” ~<* There were enrolled dtitfing the year 46 member s in the market club with 75 per cent, cf this number regular and active members. An Average^ of five prbJucers and fifteen customers come each market day, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Three truck shipments of poultry were made, serving twelve families. Amount received was $491.tl. Five carlot shipments, serving 359 famil- lies, leaving in the county $3,366.20. Total general sale s other than car- lots fer the year were $544.09. Four club women in Barnwell County 7 are canning for market, using the home demonstration method and labels. The club market shies of Mrs. L. B. Creech, of the Hercule s community, amounted to $159.87 for the year ending September, 1932. Mrs. Creech exceeded ail other market producers in amount of sales threught the club market. Canning demonstrations have been given at club meetings and also in home s of individual members. From records in hand it is found that 8,580 containers of fruits and vegetables have been canned by 4-H members and 16,100 containers of fruits and vegetable, by club women; 32,200 lbs. of meat cured, and 300 containers of meat canned. Meat canning by ap proved methods of today is not prac ticed to a great extent because of lack of equipment. However, a few families have tried out the practice by borrowing the pressure cookers belonging to the county. The pres sure cockers were used by more fami lies this year than ever before. Home Management. Three club s were organized in this project with two completing. The Life Saving Kitchen was the phase studied. Many worthwhile improve ments were made though very little money was spent. Some improve ments were made in ceiling of kitch ens, rearranging furniture for con venience and better light, installing home made sinks, cutting windows for more light and better ventilation, raising working surfaces of equip ment, and putting in shelves and cup- beards. Good reports on home prac tices were given at meetings. A short course for girls made pos sible by an appropriation by the county was held^with an attendance of 94 club members. This attendance was an increase of 45 per cent, over that of last year. The girls with one accord declared the trip wonderful. Proving their appreciation, a number of those enjoying the trip wrote let ters to the agent expressing thanks for the good time experienced. In cooperation with the local Red Cross Chapter, the agent assisted with investigating needy families and distributing Red Cross flour to those worthy of it. At the same time gar dens were visited and instructions given in canning. Home Demonstra- ticn members are active in doing relief work in their respective communities. Each club appointed a chairman to receive contributions of food, cloth ing and other supplies and to dis pense them as the need arose. Miss* McNab says in her report: “Home Demonstration Club, are as sisting with relief work in their re- speitive communities by distributing fcod an ( i clothing to needy families The chairman in the various communi- Speed Govern* the Consumption of Oil Committee Appointments. Motor Oil Ig Consumed Nine Times as Fast at 60 Miles an Hour ^Than— J. B. Gibscn, speaker of the House of Representatives, has appointed Col. Solomon Blatt, of Barnwell, as a member cf the important judiciary at 30 Miles. “The average car running forty miles an hour consumes cil twice as fast a s the same car at thirty miles an hour. When you step on the gas and run at fifty miles an hour, you use four times as much oil as at 30 -mi-leg -an-hour.—At 60 miles an hour, oil is consumed nine times as fast.” These facts, according to D. S. Lewis, district manager of the Stand ard Oil Company cf New Jersey, are known to comparatively few motorists. “If you drive fast,” says Mr. Lewis, “ycu can’t avoid high oil consump tion. Of course, some oils consume much faster than others, just as some oils are more affected by the heat of the engine and oxidize faster. The speed at which you drive has a lot more to do with the amount of oil used than the miles you travel. Thousands of miles of carefully con trolled tests have established these facts. “How often to change the cil in a crankcase is a problem each driver must decide for his own car. No hard and fast rules can be laid down. Re garding the recommendations for changing given by the car manufac turer, it is weil to bear in mind that these cil suggestions are for new motors and motors in first class me chanical condition, and even then are modified by driving conditions. Old cars alway s use mere oil.” The tremendous heat generated in the automobile engine at high speeds, according to Mr. Lewis, causes motor oil to oxidize, forming sludge and in- teifering with proper circulation and lubrication. Oxidation i s also respon sible for formation of carbon. With some oils this may be negligible while with ethers the condition 'is exag gerated. “To be on the safe side,” Mr. Lewis says, “it is seldom wise to run more than a thousand mi!e s between oil changes. Not only has oxidation lowered the lubrication and Protec tive qualities cf the average oil by that time, but in spite of air filters, oil filters, and other devices, enough fine road dust has come in through the breather tube? and the carbutetor to cause dangerous friction and wear— and higher consumption of oil. The faster one drives the more often the oil should be changed.” The average car, according to the National Aut mobi'e Chamber of Commerce, is driven about 7,500 miles a year. “When you are tempted to skimp on ci!,’ says Mr. Lewis,“think over the following facts, and remem ber that oil costs a let less than re pair s.” “If your crankcase holds five quart? of oil, and one quart of oil is consumed every two hundred miles, your tota ! cil bill for a year would be less than $18.00, with motor oil at 25c a quart, providing it is changed every thous and miles. If you put off changing for two thousand miles, you save only ab ut $3.00 a year, the lowest prem- ium you could possibly v pay on in.-ur- ance against big repair bills.'” committee and also cf the committee" on roads, bridges and ferries. The Hon. W. C. Smit, Jr., of Williston, is second vice-chairman of the impor tant ways and means committee. Speaker Gibson wa 3 deliberate in his appointment of the committees, as he considered carefully the names be fore him especially those of new members, and he endeavored to .place on the committee men who art some- what acquainted with the work they will have to do. Stop Getting Up Night* Physic the Bladder With Juniper Oil. Drive out the impurities and excess acids that cause irritation, burning and frequent desire. Juniper oil is pleasant to take in the form of BU- KETS, the bladder physic, also con taining buchu leaves, etc. Works on the bladder similar to^ castor oil on the bowels.
