To be healthy and fearless then, is to be happy, which is the goal of every, human being. Where All Have Agreed — ■ ■■■* We may have our differences of opinion in matters of politics; we may not agree on the subject of re ligion; some of us have notions that ether folk think are crazy and other folk hrve ideas we think lack in sound reasoning; but on one noirt We are all agreed; we all want to see our home tdwn grow and pros per.

Good stores are the life of any community. Moreover, we know we Independent Electors — (From The Greenville News.) The announcement of Mr. Hamp ton Smith, of Greenville, as a candid ate for “independent” presidential elector in South Carolina, suggests thought as to the possibility of re- turni. g to original style of choosing p:es ; dents as conceived by the fram ers of the constitution. Mr. Smith does not say for whom he would vete for the presidency if he were chosen an elector, except that it would have to be someboly pledged to support the present laws on prohibition. Otherw'ise the voters would be expected to accept his judg ment as to who should be the oc cupant cf the \Yhite House. South Carolina, of course, and oth er states too, might very eas’Ty fol low that plan of electing a president, if it wished. As many citizens as felt the urge could announce them selves as electorial candidates of the “independent” kind. The votei’s could, if they desired, simply elect that they v/11 do it as seems to them best. Their ambitious aim reaches from the presidency down to the min or offices, for they say that “from constable to governor, from revenue agent to president, officials must be selected who believe in enforcement.” There could hardly be a clearer case of a church urged by its leaders to go be*lily into politics. The Methodist bishops of the Epis copal Church South make a great virtue of standing on the constitu tion. The 18th amendment, now a part of it, is the law qf the land, and as such must be enforced, “ab solutely Megardless of the cost.” It will be noted that the bishops say nothing about that other part of the Democratic plank on law enforce ment, wh'ch states that “all other provisions of the federal constitu tion” ought to be enforced. Will the Souter n bishops undertake to make a like heroic stand in calling for the enforcement of the 14th and 15th amendments, which woald plainly re sult in cutting down the representa tion df the Southern states :n the na tional house of representatives ? It is safe to say that they will not. On that part of the law of the land they will not do their moral thunder- * 1 ing, for they know perfectly well j that not even the smallest fraction of their church ft’.lowing would give heed tc them. When they declare that they stand on the constitution they 'evidently mean the parts of it which they 1 ke.

In making white bread the use of whole or skim milk to supplement the proteins and minerals of wheat fl(.j;< is strongly recommended by the United States Department of Agri culture. Since bread is a staple food stuff, the use of milk in hr ad would insure a better nourished population. Dry skim milk may he used in b: ead making with good results. In addition to supplementing the nutri tive value it improves the general appeara.-cn of the bread loaf and en hances its ease of manufacture There are. however, certain differ ences in flours and in their reaction to skim miik in the dough which in fluence the ease of bread manufac ture and necessitate special attention to certain stages of the process. In order to determine what these dif ferences in flours are and how they affect the handling of bread made with dried milk, a study was made by the Bureau of Dairy Industry of the United States Department of Ag riculture. It was found that the hard spring wheat fleurs used in the experiments reacted more favorably to the use of dried skim milk than did winter wheat flours. The range of ferment ation time in which doughs give good bread is increased by using skim milk. This adds to the ease at manu facture and is a very important prop erty. The lactose of the milk im parts a desirable golden-brown color to the crust of the baked loaf. The texture and color of the crumb are also improved. and will take place before an audi cnce cf farm folks gathered from all parts of the state. Any farm woman in South Caro lina was eligible for selection as a Master Farm Homemaker when nominated by five 'of her neighbors. The Farmer’s Wife then sent each nominee a detailed questionaire con taining over 500 questions, grouped under, these five headings: physical adequacy of the home, in 1 elation to income-; management of time, en ergy and income, health record and living habits of the family; social development, recreation, family re lationships and child training; and community wc*;k. Final selection of the five women, to be announced at the time of the recognition, has been made by a judging committee selected by Mrs. J. Whitman Smith, Blshopville, president of the S. C. Council of Farm Wlomen and Miss Landrum. X 16 Master Farmers Chosen State Honor has received substantial for grade and for staple.

The tomatoes that fail to ripen be fore f’.ost may be kept far into the winVr if wrapped in paper and laid away in a cool dark place. Use only strong stocky plants and transplant them carefully. Rutabagas planted early in Aug ust will last from November until May with no protection in winter. It is best to thin them to a stand, 10 to 12 inches apart, when the plants are no’; over two inches high. Peas can ho planted in August and September and will be ready to eat in October and November. Those who like radishes will prob ably enjoy the winter varieteis, es- pocially the Chinese Winter Rose. Plant in late August, in rows, thin to about three inches, and bank up a little when hard freezing weather comes. ^ at-* •) yvt 1 I Dwarf Scotch Curled kale sown the At rarmers Weekjlatter part of August can be used j from November to May, and needs no CLEMSON COLLEGE, Aug. 4— pr °- ecti0n * Xt can be sown broad cast or in rows.

Forty farme-s scattered wide ly over the State were nominated by their neighbors and friends and were scored by competent judges by a rigid score card from the standpoint of profession of business and of cit- izenship and from this number the honored 16 were chosen. They are as follows tojriheo with the counties they represent: Cel R. B. Watson, Ridge Springs, State at large; W. K. Smith Hamp ton: H. L. Lake. Aiken; J. F. Fairey, Calhoun; E. L. Culler, Orangeburg; W. N. Henderson, Greenwood; T. W. Gaston, Spartanburg; J. Wade Drake, Anderson; James R. Reid, Chester; J. L. Gettys, Kershaw; W. B. Wilkerson, York; J. F. Williams- Sumter; C. W. Rogers, Marion; J. B. Clarkson, Williamsburg; S. W. Minims, Dorchester; A. V. Bethea, Dilior. Each of those men, Mr. C. L. New man, cf the Progressive Farmer, says; has made a remarkable record, which compares favorably with the Master Farmers who have been chosen in 20 other states, proving that South Carolina’s best farmers measure up with the best in the country. It is expected that this list of masters of the farming profession will be enlarged from time to time, but a high standard of excellence has j y been established as a precedent.
