gular beauty and purity, and her
memory will long be fragrant with
•• good deeds that have made her name

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.

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

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

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

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

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. Get a 25c box from any
drug store. After four days if not
relieved cf “getting up nights” go
back and get your money. If you
-are bothered with backache or leg
pains caused from bladder disorders
you are bound to feel better after this
cleaning and y\u get your regular
sleep. The Best Pharmacy says BU-
KETS is a best seller.
This Woman Lost
64 Pounds of Fat
Mrs. H. Price of Woodside, L. I.
writes: “A year ago I weighed 190 lbs.
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 costs but a trifle—but don’t
take chances—be sure it'e Kruschen.
If not Joyfully satisfied after the first
