They thrive in filth, which makes it the duty of every house holder to burn refuse and garbage when possible, or put it in cans with tight lids. Careful screening of windows and doors during the summer months, with supplementary use of spray solutions or stick fly papers, are one of the best protective measures known against house flies. Fly poisons are also helpful in killing off the pests, but arsenic prepara tions should be carefully handled and placed out of the reach of chil dren Hampton — Dr. M. E.

SMITH THE USE OF WORDS (Monroe Enquirer) How often do we find difficulty in thinking of Just the right word to express a certain idea? Even the greatest writers must often stop to weigh their words in order to hit upon the most appropriate one, while few speakers can observe all the niceties of expression with out writing out their speeches and memorizing them before hand. This is not due to any lack of words in the English language, however. Possibly it may be a re sult of our having too many to choose from. The latest unabridged dictionaries contain more than 400,000 words, and the list is in creasing constantly. Noah Webster’s first dictionary, published in 1828, contained only about 70,000 words; the edition of 1884 included 114,000, and that of 1890 about 175,000, as compared with the 400,000 recognized words today . Yet President Wilson, who was one of the foremost masters of Eng lish, in 75 different public addresses only 6,221 different words. In three of his published books, however, he.used about 40,- 000 different words. This shows that vastly more words are used in writing than in speaking. .A leading lexicographer estimates that the educated person cf fair ability understands on the average about 50,000 words, but uses only a small part of that number in either speaking or writing. The mass of people know and use less than 8.000 words out of the 400,000 available. An interesting experiment is to inspect a few' pages of unabridged dictionary and count how many words out of a hundred you are really familiar with, both as to spelling and meaning. Try :t. ———iXx Starting with 14 boy members in t* l* • club Projects in 1930, Kendall FubllC-r Orest Foiicies County, Illinois is expected to have at least 100 enrolled this year, ac- A study of foreign public-forest “ rdin = ‘° p - f Oingrich, district policies, made by the United States ' 1 t ub leade ^ Last year there were ■ Forest Service, shows that while 64 enrolled . a " d the P r ° )ect ?. were public control in the United States very successful due to the diligence has been almost wholly confined to ° f the «h«n»ers and the active in requirements for protection against ^ erest of ^‘C leading farming and fire, other countries, as a rule,, to^nspeop e the candidates have expressed a willingness to abide by such sched ules as the county chairmen may fix. Mr. Dominick leaves the matter entirely to the chairmen without making any suggestions. Mr. Ouzts has suggested that the campaign commence July 19th and Mr. Tay lor suggested July 12th, contin uing through three weeks. Mr. Sherard has suggested that one meeting per county Is sufficient. Without having conferred with any of the candidates, I concur in Mr. Sherard’s suggestion. Various com munities will undoubtedly invite his" tailor shop’ the candidates to address them at special meetings. I feel that they should not be found by an official program to attend more than one meeting per county. Since there is still some uncertainty as to when Mr. Dominick will be relieved from his duties in congress and that he will probably need several days after adjournment for other business before going into a speak ing campaign, I am suggesting that the campaign commence July 19 and run according to the following schedule. McCormick—Tuesday, July 19th. Edgefield—Wednesday, July 20th. Saluda—Thursday, July 21st. Newberry—Tuesday, July 26th. Greenwood—Wednesday, July 27. Abbeville—Thursday, July 28th. Anderson—Tuesday, August 2nd. Walhalla—Wednesday, August 3. Pickens—Thursday, August 4. In some places night meetings may be preferable to a day meet ing. The county chairman of each county should be left to decide as to the hour and place of meeting in his county. I especially request a reply from each of you as to whether you assent or object to this schedule. If all agree to the schedule, I shall have it published as the decision of the chairmen. Very truly yours, C. A. MAYS, Chairman. Greenwood County. -txt- market recently.

That the national prohibition question, currently exciting re newed interest in Washington, in editorial columns and over the family breakfast table, is fraught with that much sought-after screen commodity, “thrilling drama,” is strikingly evidenced in “The Wet Parade,” now on view at the Caro lina Theatre for 2 days. For this picture contains more thrills, sensational episodes, dra matic heart interest and colorful character portrayals than have been offered the talking screen in some time. Moreover, its vivid plot gains added vigor and effec tiveness from the fact that its situ ations are based on historical oc currences relative to the enact ment of prohibition during the sec ond Wilson administration and :'.ts modern aftermath of bootleggers, _ rum-runners and “speak easy” < proprietors. f Spectacular in detail and charac- J terizations, the story starts off l with thp alcoholic tragedy of an old Southern aristocrat in pre-war days and then shifts to the modern generation in which son and daughter find themselves the cen ter of a vicious vortex of law-1 breaking, fast life and flagrant vio lation of the liquor ban. Society drinking haunts are contrasted with the grim hidden cellars where bootleggers hide their stills and the various political, social and criminal angles of the problem are welded into a tale of compelling and powerful proportions. A view of this ambitious screen production bears out advance re ports to the effect that it is one of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s most im portant releases of the year. Its comprehensive settings, the bril liant direction of Victor Fleming and the expert work of so impos ing a list of players as Dorothy Jordan, Robert Young, Lewis Stone, Walter Huston, Jimmy Durante, Neil Hamilton, Wallace Ford, Myrna Loy, John Miljan, Joan i Marsh, Clara Bladick and Emma Dunn, just to mention a few, es tablish “The Wet Parade” as one of those rare film spectacles which young people, principally the mem bers of the Intermediate Class, had a picnic on the church grounds. They played games and seemed to have had a good time, but that’s easy with young people. Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Bouchillon and children, Blanche and Harold, spent the 4th with Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Mitchell. The Link boys joined in with the young men of Bethia and had a barbecue. They say they had a pleasant day. Mr. Clifford Cade and Mrs. S. C.

Mrs. W. G. Mitchell had a “sur prise kitchen party” last Saturday afternoon.

Donald, in Ninety Six. CLEMSON COLLEGE, July 5.— For care of livestock in July brief timely reminders are' given by L. V. Starkey, animal husbandman; C. G. Cushman, extension dairyman; and P. H. Gooding, extension ;3oultryman. Animal Husbandry Avoid heat prostration by water and shade for hogs. Keep pigs on some green forage, preferably a legume. Push pigs farrowed after the mid dle of March so they may be mar keted before the drop in price. Avoid parasites by keeping the hogs on uninfested territory. Change cattle pastures every two or three weeks, to control parasites \nd increase the carrying capacity of the land. Give well bred calves, intended for baby beef, grain in addition to ; >asture. , Wean the late lambs now so that the ewes will breed for early lambs next spring. Dairying Mow pastures frequently—the nowing machine is the best per manent pasture implement made. Destroy breeding places for flies, and use skim milk-formaldehyde (three gallons to one pint of for maldehyde) in shallow pans to kill Hies. As milk production begins to fall off on pasture, supplement with balanced grain mixture to hold normal milk flow. Feed up to two pounds of grain daily to growing stock to maintain normal growth. If producing cream for market, keep cream container in barrel or tub of cold well or spmig water. If retail milk producer with sur plus at this season, dry off all low- producing cows that are bred for fall freshening. Poultry Keep mash before laying hens as this helps to keep their bodies cool and stimulates egg production. Reduce feed cost by culling hens not laying and not taking feed away from the whole group. Keep a grain feed before the pullets and don’t start feeding a laying mash until the birds are at least five months old. To do so earlier will stimulate the pullets into egg production before they are mature which will result in small -^ggs.
