GIVEN under my hand this 6th day of February, Anno Domini, 1931. • L. G. BELL, v Probate Judge. HEALTH. One definition of health is that it is that condition of the living body in which all the bodily func tions are performed easily and perfectly. Generally the most perfect state of health is signified by certaiiiv external signs. The health of one should be con sidered from infancy. Often the mishaps that come to a child while he is an infant greatly handicap him for life. A baby should have all tha care possible so that he can form the foundation on which his entire future depends. The riches of a millionaire can not purchase one’s health. Money can often lend aid in correction of bodily disorders, but when a per son loses his health, that is com monly speaking, nothing else mat ters to him. If we aren’t able to enjoy the golden sun light, the cool, balmy breezes, all the sweet songs that the birds-chirp, if we cannot have sparkling eyes, rosy cheeks and be able to greet oth ers with a smile, what is money to us? We have national organizations to help protect the health of mil lions. There is a bill known as the “Health Bill.” It prevents the spreading of contagious diseases by shipping or by documents that are carried by ships. Every duty of importance has a municipal board of health. Moreover on a smaller scale, each state has its own “State Bo ard of Health.” They superintend a State system of vital statistics. These boards have been created,in nearly every state and in the Dis trict of Columbia also. Nature has certain remedies for slight physical ailments, but each of us has a part to play in our bodily upkeep. Nature also has laws that we must abide by if we want to be physically sound. We should remember that there is much that we can do to pro tect the health of others. In doing this the “Golden Rule” can be fit tingly applied. Let us all remem ber to “Do unto others as we should have them to do unto us.” HELEN TALBERT. MASTER’S SALE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County of McCormick, In the Court of Common Pleas.

Approximately nine per cent of the cash income of the farmers in the entire state is from truck crops. Fruit crops have the highest value per acre, with truck next. With normal prices, the value of the commer cial truck crops in the state is placed at $10,000,000. Early Irish potatoes and cabbage are by far the most important of these crops, but a number of others such as as paragus and beans bring in large returns. Studies of the business side of trucking are being made for the purpose of finding out how to pro duce and sell these vegetable crops in the most efficient manner so that the greatest possible net re turns may be realized by the grow ers. Much research work on many phases of truck farming is needed if this objective is to be fully real ized. To this end, the Agricul tural Economics Division of the South Carolina Experiment Sta tion has made a study of 120 farms in Aiken, Barnwell, Bamberg, Hampton, and Allendale counties, and the results have been pub lished as Station Circular 45, New er Truck Area Studies, by W. C. Jensen, acting agricultural eco nomist, and C. Gunnells, assistant agriculturist economist.

At the present market prices of feeds many dairymen find it eco nomical to feed wheat, say dairy specialists of the Bureau of Dairy Industry, U. S. Department of Ag riculture. The specialists suggest the following rations for use with various roughages: Equal parts of wheat, oats, and barley (this an alyzes about 12 per cent crude pro tein), with good pasture or alfalfa, soybean, or Lespedeza hay; equal parts of wheat, oats, and corn gluten feed (17 per cent crude pro tein), with legume hay and silage or mixed hay alone; equal parts of wheat, oats, corn gluten feed, and cottonseed meal (23 per cent crude protein), with non-legume hay and silage or either alone. Corn, wheat, barley, and dried beet pulp may be used interchangeably in these rations. Linseed meal, soy^ bean meal, or peanut meal may be fed in place of cottonseed meal. All grains fed to the dairy cow should be either rolled or finely ground. txt Geese can be raised successfully Ln small numbers and at a profit on farms where there is plenty of grass or pasture land with a nat ural water supply. Geese are the closest grazers known and both mature geese and partially grown goslings will get their entire living from good pasture when it is avail able. Moist pasture land makes especially good grazing. Young and old geese are very hardy and are rarely affected by disease or in sect pests. x Statistics show that# education helps a farmer, but a greater help would be to educate the weather man.

Greenville county would gain two representatives while Spartan burg, Horry and Dorchester each would gain one under the bill. Counties losing a representative each are Charleston, Clarendon, Edgefield, Newberry and Saluda. The changes are the result of population shifts. According to the constitution the^ house shall be composed so as to allow “one representative to every 124th part of the whole number of inhibitants in the state,” which ra tio under the 1930 census is one representative to every 14,014 per sons. * After the 1920 census Florence and Richland each gained a repre sentative and Bamberg and Marl boro lost one each.

Measures To Restrict Immigration Favored WASHINGTON, D. C„ Feb. 10.— The resolution, (H. J. Res. 473), for further restricting for a period of two years immigration into the United States, has been favorably reported by the House Committee on Immigration. The bill would limit immigration from all coun tries not otherwise provided for to 10 per cent of their present quot as; limit immigration from the countries of the Western Hemis phere to 10 per cent of the number who entered last year, with a minimum from any one country to 100 persons; limit immigration from the Philippine Islands to 500 leave the situation with regards to Hawaii as it is, and permit the en trance of 300 technicians annually when it is shown, after a hearing before the Secretary of Labor, that such technicians can not be secur- :d in this country. The Department of State an nounced recently an estimate that a total of 135.000 aliens will be cut from the quota during the present year lue to tho restrictions imposed by the American consuls abroad. Reports from American consular officers assigned to 21 countries whose annual quotas represen 148,466 of the total quota of 153,- 714,# indicate that of the possible portion of the monthly 10 per cent of the total quotas, which 10 per cent equals 14,846, only 780 visas were issued to non-prefer ence aliens as compared to 944 in November. This means that there was an underissue in December of 12,915 numbers which were avail able for issue to such applicants from those countries. In other words there was an underissue of 94 per cent of numbers to this class of aliens who would normal ly have received visas during that .month. The underissue of the possible monthly 10 per cent of the above quotas amounting to 14,846 is 87 per cent if the visas issued to ali ens entitled by law to preference as well as those classifiable as non- preference aliens is taken into con sideration. The consuls of the United State- in the enforcement of existinr provisions of law in the light o. present economic conditions have brought about the above result without arbitrary rejections of ap- j plicants, it was stated by the De partment of State. Bishop Cannon Free Of Church Charges FIVE DAY INVESTIGATION ENDS WITH EXONERATION OF BISHOP CANNON / / . • WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 10.— Bishop James Cannon, Jr., was ex onerated Saturday by ^ board of 12 church elders of charges that in cidents of his personal life had rendered him unfit for high posi tion in the Methodist Episcopal church South. The investigation had been in progress since Tuesday morning. Bishop W. N. Ainsworth of Bir mingham announced the verdict in a statement issued after the 12 elders had voted their opinion. Ainsworth head of the denomi nation’s college of bishops, super intended the inquiry. He was as sisted by two observers assigned to see that the proceedings were con ducted as prescribed by ecclesiasti cal law. Ainsworth’s associates were Bishop U. V. W. Darlington, of Huntington, West Va., and Bishop W. F. McCurry of Louis ville. “A committee of investigation in the case of Bishop James Cannon, Jr., concluded its hearings in Washington today,” the statement said. “The committee found no trial necessary.” Bishop Ainsworth refused to tell how the committee of 12 had vo ted. A vote of confidence in the bishop from five of the elders was sufficient to clear him, for under church regulations a two-thirds majority would have been neces sary to order the bishop’s suspen sion and trial at the next general conference. The end of the investigation, conducted at the Mt. Vernon place M. E. Church, South, came after Cannon had defended himself yes terday and today during 15 hours which left him weary in mind and body. i The prosecution of the case was directed by the four elders who requested the investigation. They were Dr. F. J. Prettyman of Balti more, Dr. Costen J. Harrell of Richmond, Dr. I. P. Martin of Ab ingdon, Va., and Dr. J. T. Martin ' of Richmond. v Cannon attended all sessions of the inquiry and was permitted to defend himself against all charges^ The investigation was conducted ^5T secret at the Mount Vernon Place church, built in the nations capi tal as a representative church for Southern Methodists. In almost constant pain from artheritis, Cannon remained at Sibley Memorial Hospital through the inquiry except for the time spent at the hearings. He could: walk only with the aid of crutches. One of his sons, James Cannon, 3rd, was his chief adviser and ac companied him to all sessions.
