50 horsepower
six-eylinder engine
Not until you drive the new
Chevrolet Six can you appreci
ate what a wonderful improve
ment has been made in its
famous six-cylinder valve-in-
head engine. With its capacity
increased to 50 horsepower, it
has great reserve energy for
| sweeping up the steepest hills—
for swift acceleration—and for
sustained high speeds. Its power
flows evenly and smoothly. And
it is extremely flexible in traffic.
In fact—it does everything you
could possibly want a motor
to do. Yet it is remarkably
economical in its use of gasoline
and oil. Come in today for a
demonstration.

Skim milk contains practically
all the nutrients of whole milk ex
cept the butterfat and is an ex
cellent feed for growing calves,
growing and fattening pigs when
used as a supplement to corn,
growing chicks, fattening poultry,
and laying liens. The cash value
of skim milk fed on the farm in
well-balanced rations is equal to
the market value of such amounts
of other feeds as have the same
feeding value. For calves, about 10
pounds of dry skim milk or 10 to
12 pounds of commercial or hortie-
mixed calf meals will take the
place of 100 pounds of fluid skim
milk. For pork production, when
fed as a supplement, 100 pounds of
skim milk has a feeding value
equal to about 11 pounds of corn
plus 7 pounds of tankage. For lay
ing hens, 100 pounds of skim
milk will take the place of about
15 pounds of meat scrap. Only
sweet skim milk should be fed to
calves, but either sweet or sour
skim milk may be fed to hogs and
ooultry.

An Opportunity
For Service
The Cherokee county legislative
delegation can render the county
a genuine service by making ar
rangements for the publication of
regular periodical financial reports
of all agencies handling pujilic
funds. This is customary in prac
tically all other counties in South
Carolina and in other states, and
was the practice here until some
ten or a dozen years ago when, as
a result of certain political and
personal enmities, laws requiring
these reports were changed. And
Cherokee county has been the los
er in actual dollars and ’ cents.
There could be no better time than
the present session of the legisla
ture for Senator Hamrick and Rep
resentatives Fort and Kirby to cor
rect the evil of omission in this
respect that now exists.—Gaffney
Ledger.
Cherokee county’s delegation in
the General Assembly can very
well handle its affairs without the
aid or suggestion from the outside.
But we heartily endorse this sug
gestion of the Ledger. These fin
ancial reports should be published
at intervals, not because they
might provide some revenue for
papers existing in that county, but
because it is the money of the tax
payers of Cherokee county that is
expended for all county obligations
and indebtedness, and every tax
payer has the right to see and read
just where and how this money is
spent.—Spartanburg Journal.

The trapper who tries to outwit
the red fox must sharpen his wits,
as this fox is keen scented and
suspicious and has a wholesome
fear of man. Traps and the ground
where they are set must be free
from human odors. Steel traps
may be cleaned by boiling them
with twigs'of spruce, fir, hemlock,
birch, or sassafras, by burying
them, or by leaving them in run
ning water for a day or so. After
being cleaned they should be hand
led only with leather or waxed
cotton gloves and kept in a clean
bag or basket until set. Gray and
kit foxes are not particularly wary
and are more readily caught than
red foxes.

County Audit -
*
One thing Governor Richards
stresses in his annual report is
that a careful, uniform audit of
the books of the several county of
fices of the state be instituted.
This, to our mind, would be one of
the very best things that could be
done by our legislature. There
would of necessity, have to be a
system of bookkeeping that would
be standardized, and there would
have to be the regular publication
of the audits when made. The cost
would be considerable to inaugur
ate such a regime, but not very
heavy after it was once set going.
And the saving would, we judge,
far outweigh the cost of such a
system.—Union Times.
That is a sound recommenda
tion, worthy of adoption by all
counties of South Carolina. • In
Spartanburg regular audits are
made from year to year by experi
enced, capable certified public
accountants. But there are many
of the 46 counties of the state
where no audit is ordered until
conditions and affairs are disclos
ed that make such procedure ab
solutely necessary. Then it is a
case of locking the stable after the
horse has been stolen.—Spartan-
mrg journal.
