GREENVILLE, Sept. 5.—The Lib- i
«»rty Life Insurance Company, a
South Carolina firm, has its own
answer to the depression.
Through August of this year, a
' period of eight months, the men of
the Liberty Life earned more
money than in any similar period
of the Company’s history, dating
back a dozen years.
“We decided to avoid cutting sal
aries, eliminating vacations and
laying off men if a goodly amount
of hard work would do it,” said W.
Prank Hipp, President. “VTe have
practiced staying on the job and i
aggressive selling all year, and as a
result we know nothing, of the so-
called depression. The word has
not been in our vocabulary.”
, The Liberty firm wrote more
;than one thousand ordinary life
* 'policies last month, 300 over the
figure of August 1930. The weekly
premium policies registered similar
increases. I

TO CRITICS
By Walter Learned
When I was seventeen I heard
From each censorious tongue,
“I’d not do that if I were you;
You see you’re rather young.”
Now that I number forty years,
I’m quite as often told
Of this or that I shouldn’t do
Because I’m quite too old.
O carping world! If there’s an ago
Where youth and manhood keep
An equal poise, alas! I must
Have passed it in my sleep.
Fox—I notice that since Doggett
got married he doesn’t go round so
much.
Hunt—No, since the knot was
tied he hasn’t had so much rope!
Kind One—Mercy sakes, how did
you happen to become so disabled?
Trampus—Ma’am, I overtaxed
my constitution lookin’ fer a job.
Teacher—What insect requires
the least nourishment?
Percival—The moth—it eats
holes!
To Convene on Monday, Sep
tember 14th, to Consider
Cotton Legislation
Senator J. J. Dorn this morning
received the following proclama
tion from Gov. Blackwood calling
the legislature into extra session on
next Monday to consider the en
actment of legislation with tespect
to the situation confronting the
cotton growers at this time. The
proclamation follows:
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER
COLUMBIA
PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, an emergency has
arisen in the cotton-growing States
by reason of an estimated cotton
erbn of more than 15.600.000 bales
and a surplus brough' over from
last year of 9,000.000 bales, bearing
down the price of cotton to a ruin
ous level, and creating a situation
which demands the trst thought
and every effort of ah the people
and of the organized forces of the
State Government in necking its
relief; and,
WHEREAS, in re c, q 0 ~sp ^ a call
by the Governor of the State, re-
; questing that they express them
selves upon the wisdom oi an extra
session of the General Assembly to
consider forbidding the planting of
cotton in 1932, conditioned rnon
similar action by other cotton
growing States, the cotton growers
of South Carolina assembled in
their respective counties in large
numbers and emphatically placed
themselves upon record in thirty-
seven of the forty-six counties as
favoring the convening of the Gen-
ral Assembly, most of them ex
pressing a preference for this par
ticular plan; and,
WHEREAS the State of Louis
iana, through • its Legislature, has
banned the planting of cotton in
that State in 1932 upon condition
that seventy-five ner cent of the
other cotton-growing territory in
the United States take similar ac
tion; the Legislature of Texas has
been called into extra session to
consider this or a plan in this di
rection, and other States are ready
to join hands in an effort to bring
some relief: and,
WHEREAS, a large number of
the members of both Houses of the
I General Assembly of South Caro-
I lina. whose judgment as to the
! wisdom of an extra session has
| been sought by the Governor, have
expressed themselves in accord
with the sentiments expressed by
the cotton growers at their meet
ings and a willingness to confine
an extra session of not exceeding
ten davs to the one pressing de
mand for some action in the cot
ton situation and to keep the ex
pense of such session within the
narrowest possible limits, and many
of them have urged the convening
of the extra session; and,
WHEREAS, the emergency is
acute and only by immediate ac
tion is there hope for a greater
price for the presnt cron, necessary
to prevent economic disaster and
probably actual suffering; now,
THEREFORE, L I- C. Blackwood
Governor of the State of South
Carolina, in view of this situation,
do hereby declare that an extraord
inary occasion, such as is contem
plated by the Constitution, has
arisen in the affairs of the State,

in me and in response to the duty
imposed upon me by Section 16 of
Article 4 of the Constitution of
South Carolina, convene the Gen
eral Assembly in extra session, to

ment of such remedial legislation
| wioh respset to the situation con
fronting the cotton growers arftl
i the peop’e of South Carolina as is
warranted and ro~’ured by this ex
traordinary occasion.
In testimony whereof I have
hereunto set my hand and caused
the great seal of the State to be
affixed, at Columbi''. thi^ ninth day
of September, in th2 year of our
Lord one thousand nine hundred
and thirty-one and i> the

Whore a spring seeding of swep
dover has failed or where swee-
dover is desired as a catch crop,
iry planting in ’ate summer. A
Nebraska farmer has obtained good
results with a novel method of
seeding in small-grain, stubble. At
harvest time he hooks a double
disk, a grain drill with sweetclover
seed in the grass-seeder attach
ment, and a smoothing harrow be
hind the binder and draws the
whole outfit with a tractor. This
outfit harvests the grain and sows
the sweetclover at one operation.

To obtain good tomato seed,
select one or more plants which
have a high proportion of good
fruits, taking into account size,
smoothness, solidity, and freedom
from cracking in the fruit, and
vigor, productiveness, and freedom
from disease in the plant. The
whole seed crop from a plant with
uniformly good fruit will be bet
ter than that from a superlative
fruit from a plant with some un
even or inferior fruits. Tag the
selected plants and let the fruit
remain on them until thoroughly
ripe but not decayed. Tomatoes
intercross only slightly and it is
fairly safe to save seed from more
than one variety in the garden.

Late summer or early fall is tlr
best time to seed new lawns or ren
ovate old ones. Annual weeds and
hot, dry weather are likely to in
jure lawns seeded in the spring.-
Fruit
Persons who find any kind of
raw fruit objectionable can prob
ably eat the same fruit cooked with
benefit. For cooking softens the
woody fiber of fruit, it cooks the
starch of the fruit.
Fruit to be jellied should be used
before it is thoroughly ripe, for the
ripening process does what cooking
does. It turns the pectin in the
fruit—the, jelly-forming quality—
into pectose, which is a starchy
It is possible to make good jelly
of almost any fruit juice, for com
mercial pectin may be added. This
is added—according to specific di
rections—to the fruit juice and
insures a firm jelly... It does not
in any way spoil the flavor of the
natural juice.
Seasonable fruits are always the
best buy. For one thing, they are
cheapest. For anothar, they taste
best. So the woman with a limited
food budget should comfort herself
when she buys frpit that is plenti
ful and cheap, that she is getting a .
far better flavor than she would
get ULshe bought fruit out of sea-

. J*?* Some Salad Ideas
’Cherries and Cheese—Pit ripe
cherries that have been washed
and chilled and in each pit cavity
put a little pream cheese. Place
three or four or five cherries on
each nest of lettuce leaves and
serve with French dressihg. *
Nut and Banana—Cut very ripe
but firm bananas in half cross
wise • and roll them in coarsely
chopped peanuts or ground al
monds. Lay on lettuce leaves and
serve with mayonnaise.
Grape Juice Salad—Place chunks
of grape juice and diced orange,
thick slices of banana, diced pears
and peaches in a bowl and cover
them with grape juice, and let
stand for a couple of hours in the
refrigerator. Then drain them—
the juice can be used for fruit
ounch or sherbet—and place the
assorted fruits on crisp white let
tuce leaves. Serve with mayon-
iaise or French dressing.'
Pineapple Salad—Place a slice of
n-i'-ied oineapple on a bed of
zrisp lettuce. In the center place
la i a f^esh apricot or peach, and
•n the pit cavity of this fruit place
i little ball of cream cheese. Serve
with mayonnaise put in a little
2up-shaped piece of ’ettuce.
Pear and Orange Salad—Either
fresh or canned pears may be used
for this salad. Dice them and add
to the same amount of diced or
anges and half as much celery
heart. Mix with mayonnaise and
^erve on lettuce.
Apple and Date Salad—Mix a cup
of chopped dates with three cups of
chopped tart apples and a half cup
of nut meats. . Add French dress
ing in which lemon juice is used
instead of vinegar. Serve on let
tuce leaves.
Orange and Endive Salad—Sep
arate the sections of orange and
carefully remove the thin skin,
without hurting the shape of the
orange sections. Place three of
these iir each of two leaves of crisp
endive on each salad plate and
i pour French dressing over it.
