if the children want them.

Loosely fitted long sleeves are
most becoming on fleshy arms. If
open at the wrists they are grace
ful and comfortable. To make the
arm seem longer and more slender,
use bound slashes, lengthwise
bands of material, rows of buttons,
etc. Sleeves gathered Into a tight
cuff with a miffed effect should be
avoided-by the stout woman.
Use cold water first on egg stains,
then hot ^vater and soap. If the
yolk leaves a grease spot use car
bon tetrachloride or some other
grease solvent after sponging with
cold water and allowing the stain
ed place to dry. ,

To keep dry bread crumbs; after
drying the bread and grinding or
roiling, put the crumbs in a glass
jar, covered with a piece of clean
cheesecloth, held on by a rubber
band. The air will reach them and
prevent their growing rancid or
moldy.

Hagenbeck-Wallace
Circus In Augusta
Next Monday
Sensations and thrills are pack
ed into the 1931 performance of
the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus,
which will make its appearance in
Augusta, Ga.. on Monday. Septem
ber 21, 1931. Great interest has been
manifested in the coming of this
high-class circus and hundreds of
people from this community are
going to attend the exhibitions.
Heading the list of dare-devils is
“The Great Wilno” who is actually
fired with violent velocity from the
mouth of a monster cannon. Wil-
no’s act is one of the sensations of
the present day, as this human
bullet shoots through space from
the huge gun to a net many feet
away. Wilno is ah exclusive Hag
enbeck-Wallace feature.

jugator, who is said to be the
world’s greatest animal trainer,

the largest group ever presented
under the tutelage of any Ameri
can trainer. Aage Christians, a
noted European trainer, will pre
sent a vicious and savage group of
hyenas, leopards, pumas, bears and
other animals.
Included among the arenic stars
will be Poodles Hanneford and
Family of riders, the Flying Clark-
onians, Wright Troupe, the Mont-
marte Family of acrobats, the Lee
Sisters, the Walter Neiss Troupe,
and the Nortons. Clown alley, as
usual, will contain only the be§t of
lauerh-provokers.
“The Qolden Orient.” a beautiful
story of old Japan, will provide the
opening musical presentation.

Goodyear Tire
Making Increases
MAGNITUDE OF THEIR POPU
LARITY POINTED OUT BY
MR. FAULKNER

E3E
“More thfm one-fourth of all the
tires manufactured in the United
States bear the name of the Good-
vear Tire & Rubber company,” J.
T. Faulkner, local Goodyear dealer,
says. v
“The latest report of the Good
year company, to its stockholders
reveals that 155.592,535 pneumatic
tires had been made in its factories
between 1902 and the close of 1929,”
Mr. Faulkner said.
“These figures do not include
solid and cushion truck tires, mill
ions of which have been manufac-
L ,ured by the Goodvear company.
“Some idea of the magnitude of
the Goodvear organization may be
gleaned from statistics recently
'•omoiled which show that Amer
ica’s preference for Goodvear tires
is more than twice that of any oth
er make of tire; in T929 mo™
ooodvear were purchased bv both
the car owners of the world and
the manufacturers of new motor
vehicles than any other make and
Goodvear consumes aporoximatelv
50 per cent more crude rubber than
arm other manufacturer.
“Goodyear has dealers in all
narts of America—in everv countrv
in the world in fact, except Russia.
Manv of these dealers have betfh
handling Goodvear products for
periods in excess of ten years. Sev
enty-four million, or 48 per cent of
the tires manufactured bv Good
year have been turned out in the
last four years alone, an excellent
, indication of how public accept
ance of these tires has resulted in
more people riding on Goodyear
tires than op am' other kind,” Mr.
Faulkner concluded.

Build Up Soils
At Lowest Cost
CLEMSON COLLEGE, Sept. 15.—
South Carolina has approximately
4,200,000 acres cultivated in crops
by 158,000 farm families, and what
ever the outcome of any cotton
acreage reduction jdaia, either vol
untary or compulsory by law or
necessity, most of these farm fami
lies must look to this cultivated
area for the income to provide a
legitimate standard of Kving, says
R. W. Hamilton, extension agrono
mist, reminding us that this in
come must come from crops pro
duced from the soil.
“The capacity of the soil to pro
duce crops depends upon its physi
cal, chemical, and biological make
up, aside from i-he climatic and
human factors,” Mr. Hamilton
adds. “In short, the amount of
crop for a given area depends upon
joil fertility or its atoltty to Teed
crop plants. Air, water, mineral,
and organic elements in the soil
are sources of plant foods. Air
and water are plentiful. South
Carolina farmers have been sup
plying mineral or commercial
plant foods by the purchase of 15
or 20 million dollars worth of fer
tilizers annually, depending largely
on this form of plant food for crop
yield. This amount of money will
not be available for fertilizers for
the 1932 crop* Yet crops must be
grown.” '
It follows then, hr the agrono
mist’s reasoning, that dependence
for next year’s yield of crops must
be on organic matter added to the
soil; and vetches, ekroexs, winter
peas, animal manures, crop resi
dues, and forest leaves carry the
plant foods necessarw for crop
growth. He eoncfradles.-
“If some farmn families do not
have money to purchase seeds of
vetches and clovers, they do have
he faculty of labor and time to use
it, and they should haul and bed
down their stables with pine straw,
grain straw, leaves, and swamp
grass. The time for preparing food
for next year’s crops, whatever they
nay be, is :iowl”'
“If, through dire necessity. South
Carolina farm families can again
learn the age-old, but largely for
gotten, value die compost heap.
South Carolina agriculture will rise
in a permanent and safe founda-
•,ion.”

Elderly people should eat
plenty of fruits and vegetables.
Fruit juice or pulp or strained
vegetables mav be giv&a if prefer
able, Foods to he used sparingly
are rich sauces, cakes and pud
dings, pastries, and fried foods. Hot
rather than cold food is especially
->eeded in chilly weather to keep
*he body comfortably warm. Small
er amounts of food, however, are
needed as people get older. In
many ways the diet for the elderly
is like that for children during the
first five years. It eonsKrts of
milk, eggs, fruit juices, cooked cer
eals and cereal puddings, and
strained vegetables. Simple meals
served at frequent intervals are
^est. The chief difference is that
4 he emphasis is no longer on build-
ng materials as in childhood. Old
neoole may deoend on hot stimu-
j ’ating foods like tea and coffee
: that are not allowed to children.

i Development of the livestock in
dustry in the South depends in
arge part on improvement of pas
tures, says the U. S. Department of
Agriculture. On unimproved, or
natural pastures, cattle will not
gain as much and it takes 10 acres
for each animal. Improved oas-
tures support cattle at the rate of
1 animal to 2 acres, and tfie gains
are about double those on natural
pastures. The Department of Ag
riculture recommends the use of
carpet grass, Bermuda g**ass, Dallis
grass, Bahia grass, Lespedeza,
white clover, and black medic in
improving southern pastures.
