X ■3° As We Journey Through Life The time comes to alJ of us when we are made to appreciate the value of a dol- lar_and it’s a good thing too, otherwise we might become a very wasteful and extravagant nation. If we always raised bumper crops and sold them at fabulous prices—if we all had good jobs with fat salaries and the money fairly rolling in, it would prob ably roll out a little bit faster, and therc’d be more ‘‘spoiled babies” in this world than you “could shake a stick at.” So when a little adversity comes along __ enough it rains too much or doesn’t rain if the works shut down for a while, there’s no use to grumble about it. We’d better put in that time doing some hard thinking thinking how we can make our dollars go further. So, if you have been a little disappointed with your income this year, don’t grum ble about it, but give a thought to know how and where you can make those dol lars go further. Come and see us atid if you’ve got ‘'money to burn,” better visit us too, for it’s prudent to be thrifty.

For our own bene fit, we all should wear good, well-made shoes and that is particularly true with the children. It is neither economical nor wise to buy cheap, poorly made shoes merely to get a low price and it is extravagant, regardless of one’s income, to pay ridiculously high prices. The thing to do is look for values—the combination of style, fit," comfort and long wear at moderate cost. PAUL OXFORDS .

Included in these rotations, are our main crops, cotton and corn. Hay and soil improvement crops, which include both winter and summer legumes, are alsa found in this rotation.

Sawyer, chief highway commission- .er, today mailed questionnaires to I contractors engaged in highway j construction in South Carolina to determine the proportion of native- labor employed on state projects. | The step followed the order of : an investigation into the employ ment of construction by the state highway commission at a recent meeting. At that lime complaints were received that the commission had not abided by its decision that native South Carolinians would be given preference for employment* Commissioner Sawyer pointed out that the resolution passed by the commission was not intended to apply “in the case of organiza tion heads, superintendents, and such technicians as may be neces sary to form the skeleton organiza tion of any going concern.” j The questionnaire will also cover the wage scale. It asks the num ber of South Carolinians employed! in all positions. Sawyer said thei replies would form the basis of report on the matter he has been, directed to make at the next meet-* ing of the commission. Many a doctor is an expert, but he cannot cure a swelled head ort cold feet. hr %
