These little markers are reminders to motorists that auto mobiles frequently have a habit of dealing a fatal blow. Motorists soon learn, though not familiar with the meaning of the crosses, the significance of the sil ent danger signals. But will they be a warning? Will these somber tokens of death stop the speed-crazed driver who thinks neither of himself, or of those in other cars? Surely the sight of a white cross at the roadside near a dangerous curve or bedside a railroad crossing, ought to make some impression.

THE BUSINESS SIDE OF A NEWSPAPER Many people who react the news papers never think of the business eide of publishing a paper. They read the news and doubtless appre ciate the good qualities of their county papers, and if they owe the paper a few dollars it does not wor ry them very seriously, for they think their little bills do not make much difference because they are *small.

The orator orates on the majesty of the pr6ss, but printers are not paid off in either glory or majesty. It takes hard cash to meet the bills, and when a news paper cannot meet its bills and payrolls, its usefulness in the com munity is just about over. All of which leads up to what we ^rant to say. A lot of friends al ways wait until the barest time in the fall of the year to visit the printer. The harvest time is here, and almost over, and some have not yet visited this printer. The wise need only a hint. We thank you.—Bamberg Herald. X Vetch is less likely to winterkill if seeded early in the fall. Late seedlings are injured more because the plants are small and tender, often resulting in poor or thin stands and low yields of hay or seed. Some growers seed heavily, but where the winters are mild a thick' stand injures the yield of seed. Winter-killing of vetch may also result from an excessive amount of moisture in the soil due to poor natural drainage. txt The province of government is to act as overseer, not to give men jobs. txt ’ A surety company official says fat men are good risks.

' It is perhaps not generally known that the inspiration which led S. W. Straus to devote many years of his life and expend a small fortune _ . in his efforts to spread the gospel ity & Service Stores, comprising of . thrift amontr the American peo- towns of Abbeville, Greenwood, \ of timl t among tne <unencan peo Ware Shoals and Calhoun Falls, pie, sprang from the precep.s of thrifty parents. Early Jn the years of his, thrift work he once said: “My father was, in his eatfy days, a poor man but he knew the value of economy and out of a very meager income he saved $500 with which he made a start in business. Fundamentally the secret of my father’s success as he moved into the larger activities of business, was his keen apprecia tion of thrift. He and my good mother had learned what it meant to live within their means, to spend money carefully, to save wisely. Thus from the days of my earliest youth th€f value of thrift was in stilled within me and now, looking back over the .yeqrs* of early life even" up to the period of young manhood and the beginning of my own business career, there comes the consciousness of a debt of grat itude to my father and mother so deep that it can never be repaid. No other inheritance ever could have equaled the lessons in thrift I learned from them. Could a more worthy monument be erected to the memory of my dear parents than the inauguration of a move ment through which others might receive the benefit of thrift educa tion?” In all the activities in which S. W. Straus was engaged there was always this added impulse which came with the memory of these thrifty parents, steadfast in their devotion to a principle which they fully realized meant not only ma terial progress but which contrib uted to the development of a sturdy character. While S. W. Strttus held to the ; belief that no man was ever too old ; to learn the value of thrift, he was ; partciularly impressed with ths need of teaching thrift to those of tender years. Looking back over ; his own life he realized only toe well what it meant to gain an un derstanding of thrift while still in the years of childhood. And so it was that he did everything within his power to encourage the teach ing of thrift in our schools and one of the very last articles he wrote on thrift before his pen was laid aside forever was an appeal to the American people to give more heed to this phase of thrift education.

Walterboro — Novit’s Stores be- A stew by any other name seems to taste a whole lot better, just why is hard to say, for a well-made stew needs no apology. However, if you would rather serve this sav ory and economical dish tinder any other name there is no reason you should not do so, and Inez 8. Willson, home economist, suggests two very good stews which, if judged by their names, are not stews at all. Here is a recipe evolved in war time by one French cook. As you will see, she used tinned corn beef 1 —you may do that, too, or you may file this recipe away as a means of utilizing left-over corned beef. Our French cook calls this “Ragout of Potatoes and Tinned Beef”—no suggestion of stew there. This is how she makes it. Ragout of Potatc.is— Tinned Beef Melt in a stewpan 2 tablespoons of fat. Slice 2 onions in it and let them fry until they are light colored. Stir in 1 tablespoon of flour and 2 cups of hot vegetable water or meat stock. (The French cook you know never throws the water from vegetables down the drain, and incidentally she usually thickens the stew at the beginning of the cooking process rather than at the end as we do. A stew thick ened first requires more careful watching as it will scorch more readily.) Now we have fried the onions in fat until nicely browned, we have added flour to thicken and liquid, either vegetable or meat stock. Next, season with salt and pepper. When the sauce has suffi ciently thickened, add about 2 pounds of potatoes, peeled and cut into moderate-sized pieces. Cover the pan and simmer very gently, shaking the pan now and then. When the potatoes are almost cooked, add 1 pound of corned beef, cut into little squares. Then j simmer again until the potatoes are quite done. Turn into a deep dish and serve very hot. And here is another French re cipe for what is really a stew al though the name given it is “Breast of Veal Bourgeoise.” You know the French chef must have a name for every dish he cooks. Breast of Veal Bc.urgeoise 1 1-2 pounds breast of veal. 1 onion, thinly sliced. 2 tablespoons butter or drippings. 6 small carrots. 1 1-2 cups tomato sauce. Skit arfd’ pfciftfcr. Flour. Cut the veal into pieces suitable for serving, sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper and dredge with flour. Brown the pieces of meat well on all sides In the butter or drippings. Scrape the carrots. Pour the tomato sauce into the bottom of a baking dish; lay in the carrots, onion, and veal. Cover and cook in a moderate oven until the meat and vegetables are tender. Serve in the baking dish. * i 1930 S LOW PRICES BRING GOODYEARS WITHIN REACH OF ALL We now sell Goodyears for little more than the cheapest makes.

Guaranteed Tire Repairing Boll-Weevil Surveys Make Control Easier IN 1 Intensive and frequent field sur veys of boll-weevil conditions which have been conducted jointly by the United States Department of Agriculture and entomologists of certain States have been highly beneficial to cotton growers, in the opinion of B. R. Coad, chief of cotton insects w r ork in the depart ment. Weekly surveys in South Carolina and Oklahoma the last few years by Federal and State entomologists have placed local agricultural lead ers in a position to give informa-| tion to cotton growers promptly ^ Q and, as a result, the growers are fighting the boll weevil more ef fectively than ever, he says. In some cases sudden increase of wee vil populations have been readily detected, with the result that grow ers dusted early enough to prevent much damage. In other cases, as boll-wevil activity subsided, prompt reports enabled the growers to save dusting expense. Recently the presence of several different kinds of cotton insects in the same field has complicated the nest control problem, making time ly local advice frequently necessary. Although publicity about cotton in sects recently mayhave--pYgn the impression th^t They are ca^Spg much more damage each year, sta tistics show only slight increases in\| damage.
