Behold, One Oil King

No Mother Love, No Nation
Los Angelos.—The gasoline threat
that worried the big oil men a few
days ago is becoming reality. Here
the price has been cut as low as 10
cents, and deeper cuts are expected.
This is due to disorganized production
and disorganized distribution.
Any buyer who exults in the low
price of today exults prematurely.
He will more than make up for it
later on.
Old royalty, kings, emperors, etc.,
are going out. In the realm of finance
kings are coming in. The American
government, interested in United
States prosperity, might make a care
ful study of Sir Henri Deterding, head
of the Shell Oil company.
An able Dutchman, born In Holland,
knighted by the British, with his office
in London, Deterding surveys the
world from the oil man’s point of
view, literally, as an imperial con
queror.
The other day, ns lowest bidder he*
supplied the Japanese navy with oil
for a year at 54 cents a barrel, the
lowest price ever quoted, and prob
ably bought it from independent Cali
fornia producers for 40 or 45 cents
a barrel.
California produces the oil, Japan
gets the oil, Deterding gets the profit,
the United States sees its oil supply
diminished.

Gen. William E. Gillmore directs the

One hundred and fifty-nine army
planes, from small swift pursuit planes
to heavy bombing machines, are tak

Men that have inspected the equip

France and Britain, say the “pro
visional wing,’* commanded by Gen
eral Gillmore, is as efficient tf unit as
whuld be found anywhere on earth.
The small now planet whose exist
ence was asserted by the late Pro
fessor Lowell continues to agitate
scientists.
Guided by Newton’s law. Professor
Lowell knew that disturbances in the
orbit of Uranus must he accounted foi
by the existence of another planet.
O&cl^ls of Lowell observatory fol
lowing the now wanderer on the out
skirts of our solar system, say it be
haves exactly as Professor Lowell
would have expected.
A distinguished French astronomci
says it is too small to amount to any
thing, but would change his mind it
it shifted its course and struck this
earth in the neighborhood of the
Place de la Concorde.

Had it not been for Newton and hit

General speaking law suits are
the most expensive kind of suits
to have, and they cafi’t be dry
gleaned.
Russia should remember that when
a mare is valuable, and a fine horse
is wanted, the mare is not put to work
before tj»e colt Is horn, or afterward.
Sparta educated its youth; trained
young men to surp»ise and murder the
miserable Helot slaves on their way
to work at sunrise, that the young
men might he fierce in war. S-parta’s
law used iron for money, that no man
might care to have much of it.
Fine theories were worked out there
aa in Russia, hut Sparta amounted to
little. Athens, where human nature
was allowed to develop according to
rules—not suggested by Draco or Karl
Marx—produced Greek grandeur, art,
literature and philosophy.
We are wound up-at birth, to run
in a certain way; our inborn Impulses
are our mainsprings, and we cannot
remake ourselves. To interfere with
Gie family, with the mother’s passion
ate love of her children, with man’s
ambition, stimulated by duty to hia
family and reverence for his father
and mother, Is to Insure a nation’s
downfall.
The government asks fanners, for
their own price protection, to reduce
by two million acres spring wheat
planting in Minnesota and the Da
kotas. Substitution of barley, rye,
oats, alfalfa and sweet clover is sug
gested. That might help if other
states reduced acreage. But it Is as
difficult for farmers as for others to
change their habits.

How Rural People
Use Leisure Time
CLEMSON COLLEGE, April a.—
A general lack of understanding
of the far-reaching implications of
the use of leisure among the farm
people in South Caroliaa \vm evi
denced by a study conducted in
four selected counties by Mary E.
Frayser, home economist, the re
sult of which is published in Sta
tion Bulletin 263, “The Use of Leis
ure in Selected Rural Areas of
South Carolina,” and may be had
free of charge from the Publica
tion Division of Clemson College.
The study was conducted in
Allendale, Anderson, Florence, and
York counties, believed to be rep
resentative of rural South Caro
lina, to determine the amount and
use of leisure in farm homes, to
assemble, present, and interpret
social and economic facts which
affect rural life, and to distinguish
those facts that have an important
bearing on the home, those show
ing how much time is spent in rec
reation and interests which . are
educational, and those indicating
harmful uses of leisure.
The data gathered, says the au
thor, revealed a general lack of
understanding of the far-reaching
implications of the use of leisure.
Recommendations are made look
ing towards wiser use of leisure
among rural people for social, rec
reational, and educational better
ment.

The enormous weed crop raisec

the reasons why there are not
larger yields of grain in the spring-
wheat area, says the U. S. Depart

by thorough'.j ei'acing the seed

CLEMSON COLLEGE, April S.~
The cantaloupe crop in many parts
of the Piedmont section is often
very short because of the pickle
'Worm, a greenish worm three-
fourths of an inch long when full
grown, that renders cantaloupes
unsalable by boring into them,
causing souring and rotting.
This destructive work of !he
pickle worm may be reduced to a
minimum by a catch crop of
squash, says M. H. Brunson, exten
sion entomologist, who explains
the measure recommended.
“Plant summer squash succes
sively in the cantaloupe patch at
the rate of four rows per acre at
intervals of two weeks, making the
first planting two weeks after the
cantaloupes are planted or at
same time if .preferred,” says-Mr.-
Brunson. “Make four or five
plantings of squash to furnish an.
abundance of blooms, which serve
as an attractant for the eggs of
the moth. Examine the squash
blooms weekly, beginning usually
the . last of June, and destroy by
burning those infested and Vines
which are infested.
“Continue this practice until the
crop is harvested, then rake up
and burn all infested vines and
fruits to destroy immature stages,
and plow the land deeply in the
fall to destroy many resting
stages.”

HER BUYING GUIDE
Iii her capacity as housewife, every wo-
* man in charge of a household is its gener
al manager.
Upon her devolves the duty of making
rather large purchases, which leads into
another duty-that of economical expend
itures of the household funds:
The observing housewife has doubtless
noticed that her husband reads industri
ously what he calls his “trade papers,”
pertaining to his business..He reads them
to keep pace with his work and to help
solve the problems that arise every day.
i
The careful housewife will find that the
newspapers are her “trade papers.” The
advertisements tell her nearly everything
about the purchases she wishes to make,
that she should know.
If she is a good household manager, like
her husband, who spends many hours en
grossed in his magazine and papers so
that he may conduct his business mote
successfully, she will study with care the
advertisements in the newspapers and
find that they enable her to conduct her
business more economically and success
fully, and thus add to the comfort and joy
of home life.
■ %
After becoming a careful and thought
ful reader of newspaper advertisements,*
this type of housewife will be able *0
choose the store that gives her the great
est value for her mony. Her choice will
inevitably be the store where she can get
the advertised goods |Jje asks for and
where she has been assured in advance
through advertisements, that the pur
chases she makes will be as advertised.
The thoughtful household manager
will discover that any merchant who ad
vertises will keep the contract he makes
with his customers in his .advertisements. <
She soon learns that any retail dealer who
advertises regularly will not betray her
confidence.
She knows that when the merchant in
serts an advertisement in the newspaper,
with his own name attached, he is speak
ing to her.
Tell the merchants with whom you
trade that they should advertise their
goods regularly so that you may know
what they have to sell and keep pace with
the introduction of new goods and fash
ions.
This paper is the medium for this eomi:
ty and adjacent territory, and the cost of
advertising is small; while the benefits to
the advertiser are large and will grow with
regular advertising.
