Best Cotton Varieties
Reported In Bulletin
CLEMSON COLLEGE, Feb. 21.—
The best varieties of cotton for this
State arc indicated by the results of
experiments conduct'*! here and at
Summerville in 1924 to 1927 and at
Florence in 1925 to 1927 and report
ed by the South Carolina Experi
ment Station in Station Bulletin 244,
“Cotton Var ety Experiments/' just
off the press.
In the Piedmont, the bulletin says
; n summing up the tests. King, Cook
1010 and Coker Cleveland 5 head the
listj. with approximately the same
yields of seed cotton per acn aver
age for four years. Of these three
Cokfer Cleveland 5 was the only one
that produced a staple satisfactory
to piesent demands.
#
“The highest average yield at
Florence, 1904 pounds of seed cotton
per acre, was produced by Dixie-Tri
umph, closely followed by Coker
Cleveland 5, Humco Cleveland 20,
and Woolsey Cleveland. Carolina-
Foster.. Lightning Express and Del-
tatype-Webber of the long staple va
rieties, produced practically the

What Children Should
Know
(By S. W. -STRAUS, President
American Society For Thrift.)
of
There is at the present time much
thought being given to the question
of old-age pensions. Efforts are be
ing made in a number of States to
secure the enactment of leg'slation
whic|i will permit tljose Common^
wealths to pay certain amounts to
those who have become victims of
the infirmities of old-age and are
not self-supporting. Sinrlaf efforts
in Washington are being made to se
cure the enactment of Federal old-
age pension legislation.
It has been pointed out that the
thhty-five foreign countries, six of
our own States and the Territory of
Alakasa now have laws permitting
pensions to be paid to the aged.
The point was made that the aver
age dependent can be supported on
a pension plan much more economi
cally than through a system of pub
lic alms houses.
It is commendable that so much
attention is being given to these
matters and everything possible
should be done to take care of those
who are old and who wholly or in
pait are not able to take care of
themselves.
The agitat'on should serve also as
a lession to the members of the
younger generation. Independence
in personal financial affairs should
be the goal of all.
Strangely enough, a considerable

drift along from day to day and take

Whites of eggs, olive oil or linseed
oil, or ‘Ihne water, are valuable rem
edies. ■ . . ,
Many thousands of children have
been badly injured by picking up
biasring caps left lying around by
careless workmen. Children should
be warned not to pick these up, much
less to play with them.
Weak ammonia, oil, salt water or
iodine are valuable for stings of pois
onous insects.
Great care should be taken not to
eat spoiled, decayed, or old food of
any kind, as it causes ptomaine pois
on, and calls for doses of castor oil
and other things that children do not
want to know about.
Beware of dogs that act peculiar
ly, particularly if they have any
froth around their mouth. A bite
by such a dog should be followed by
the speediest call of a physician that
can be made.
WORDS
In the last 270 years 350,000 per
fectly good words have been added
to English. Samuel Johnson com
pleted the first good. dictionary of
the English language in 1755. It
contained 50,000 words. The latest
unabridged ,editions contain about
700,000 words.
There must be quite a waste some
where sirtce the average person is
credited with a vocabulary of only
3,000 words which are evidently mull
ed over and over day after day with
surprisingly little variety. Still, the
new words begging dictionary ad-,
mrltance annually average about 3,-
000 themselves. Doubtless some of
the lazy folk drop a few words when
their chances on the future. Some they adopt a few of the attractive
of them may avoid old-age penury
but the majority, when they shall
have reached that period of life when
they can no longer toil for a liveli
hood, will find themselves dependent
upon the charity of the public or of
their friends.
It is indeed not a happy out look
for many. How much better it would
be to deny one’s self a few passing
luxuries—even a few comforts—to
day and thus be assured that in the
days of old age there will be an in
come that will mean complete inde
pendence.
Thrift is indeed the best and only
dependable safeguard against one of
life’s saddest tragedies—old-age
penury.
new offerings of English.
Over the lexicographers’ counter
the chief selections come from fair
ly regular sources. From science and
big business come many “leaders”
such as “rayon,’’ the twentieth cen
tury’s great textile. From aviation
has come “aeronaut,” “airman” and
“airwoman,” “skypilot,” “birdman”
and “birdwoman.” Public schools
and colleges have their part in this
public “brush up” of the English
language. “Dumb-bell” is said still
to reign supreme in the former,
while “moron,” with its antonym
“highbrow,” have found favor in the
higher seats of learning. Such as
the “Babbitts” have' flowed directly

Invading Home

(From The Dillon Herald)
If the local business man will take
the trouble to look over the adver
tising pages of his home newspaper
he will discover, that a change is tak
ing place in the business world. He
will find that local advertising is de
creasing and foreign adverrising is
increasing. Not only is advertising agq
being standardized but it is being put 1 a
handle his goods and the transact 1 on
is closed. That is why national ad
vertising is on the increase and new
advertising agencies are springing
up nearly every day. The old fam
