p RECOGNIZING THE NOISE
A wide awake salesman was dem-
Instrating an adding machine to a
board of directors of ra large in
stitution who' had adhered to old
time bookkeeping methods and he
wasn’t making much headway to
wards getting the order. Every
few minutes he would pick up a
paper weight that was on a nearby
desk, and strike it against his
sample machine, striking a little
harder each time until one of the
directors could stand it no longer,
and jumping up nervously said,
“Young man, what in the world
are you doing'that for?” and the
salesman replied, “That, dear sir,
is opportunity knocking for admit
tance to your business,” and he
got the order.
V^ry plainly, the moral to this
is that opportunity is knocking at
the door of every town and city,
but most of them have never
thought to ask what the noise is
all about.
The result is that the places that
hear the noise and recognize the
meaning of it are forging ahead
and the others are standing still,
And standing still means going
backward.

UP WITH THE TIMES
Newspapers keep you abreast of
the times. They inform •you of
what is transpiring at home and
elsewhere. You read them to get
the latest information about men
and affairs. v * ^
How far back we would go with
out newspapers! We would remain
In ignorance not only of events of
news value, but also of much that
concerns us even more vitally—
news of things that have to do with
our personal, everyday lives.
Every day new things: appear—
new products "that save time,
money and labor are introduced—
new comforts, new conveniences
and dew ideas are constantly be
ing worked out and offered for
your benefit. 0
The advertisements bring you
news of all this progress. They tell
you all about these things, where
to get them, how to get them and
how much to pay for them, The
advertisements are directories to
wise buying.
They are the messages of your
merchants to you—it is the best,
mc^t efficient and most profitable
way of telling you what fchley have
for your use.
Read the advertisements. Protect
yourself in your buying by getting
the products which have proved
their worth by making good under
the spotlight of consistent oublic-
ity.

Careful Motorists
Prevent Accidents
Intensive campaigns are now
being conducted throughout the
nation <to make the public high
ways safe for careful competent
and responsible motorists and to
banish the danger presented to
life and property by the reckless.
It is to be'hoped that the cam
paigns will be successful. But in
the meantime, the careful motor
ists can themselves .do much to
lower the accident toll by expect
ing the other driver to do some-

BETTER TASTE—that’s the answer; and

Better taste, and milder too!

thing dangerous.
In the words of Charles F. Ket
tering, Vice-president, General
Motors Research Corporation, “It
has been my experience in a great
many years of driving that if you
will consider the other fellow is
likely to do something which he
may not do, it is a great safety
factor. I believe that we should
always be upon the lookout and ex
pect that somebody will come out
of every blind alley and make the
wrong turn, because if we are as
suming that, we are always on the
alert and know just exactly how to
stop and When to stop.”
This#is sage advice. When as
suming all other drivers are cap
able, the most competent and care
ful driver is often powerless to
avert an accident. And, when lives
and property are destroyed, the
blame is of only secondary import
ance.
Every state should do its best to
formulate modern, enforceable and
adequate traffic laws that will
protect the careful and punish and
eliminate the reckless. But until
Utopian highway conditions arrive
we should all be pessimistic of the
other fellow’s ability at the wheel.

A Great Discovery
When Pasteur discovered, in 1852,
that the infection of wounds was
caused by malignant bacteria, he per
formed a service of inestimable value
to mankind. Since then medical science
has been producing better and better
antiseptics, to kill these germs that
may enter the smallest cut and give us
diseases such as typhoid, tuberculosis
and lockiaw. Now, all you have to do to
be sure that these dreadful germs will
not infect a wound, is to wash that
wound, however small, thoroughly with

Oats And Vetch Hay
For Dairy Cattle
CLEMSON COLLEGE, Sept. 8.—
The planting, of oats and vetch
early in the fall for hdy to be cut
the following May, offers one of
the best opportunities dairy far
mers have in this section for pro
ducing an abundance of good
quality roughage at the minimum
expense, says J. P. LaMaster, chief
dairyman, who adds that from a
half acre to an acre of oats and
vetch should be sown for each cow
in the dairy herd.
A mixture sown at the rate of
two bushels of oats and 30 pounds
of vetch per acre will give a yield
of one to three tons of hay, de
pending upon the fertility of the
soil and the fertilizer treatments
used.
! This hay, if cut when the oats
are in the dough-stage, makes a
quality hay which compares favor
ably with the clovers for feeding
all classes of dairy cattle, including
cows in milk, dry cows, heifers,
calves,, and bulls, continues Mr. La-
Master.
This hay is easier to cure than
cow peas or soybeans and offers an
opportunity for growing two crops
of hay on the same land in one
year. Since the oats and vetch are
cut in Miy ,it makes it pactical to
sow cow peas or soybeans on the
same land as soon after the hay is
taken -off as the season is provided
which is suitable for sowing the
cow peas or soybeans.
