AL . . . the new editor— I hereby extend the hand of fel lowship to Al Smith, editor. I have not always agreed with the Hon. Alfred E. Smith, politician, but when he began to write for the pa pers a couple of years back I thought I saw the makings of a newspaper man in him. Now that he is out of politics— so far as the present campaign is concerned, at any rate—and is a full-fledged editor with a magazine of his own, Al and I ought to get along fine. I’ll say this for Al, he puts a punch into whatever he writes. He has ideas. In the New Outlook, of ‘which he is to be the responsible editor, he will doubtless say a lot of things with which I won’t agree, and prob- WHITE HARDWARE CO. Main Street McCormick, S.

It would be as foolish to call the hawk, the snake or the fish wicked as it would be to call humans wick ed because they, too, kill animals for their food. Sloppy sentimentalists endow the lower animals with the same sensi bilities and emotions as humans, and make a great fuss about the cruelty of life. No one who eats meat is in a position to criticise the hawk that eats rabbits and in time, a few thousand yeajjs, perhaps, men may get over the urge to kill other men because they dress dif ferently, or speak a different lang uage, or get the better of them in An Awful Load for the Old Bus By Albert 7 Reid UAttOU) SMITH, tO VEARS OLD, or 1 SHAWMEE OKLA.

The greatest ’cellist, un til death, was Alfredo Piatti of Lon don, who owned Amati’s finest •’cello and played it with Tourte’s finest bow. Probably the greatest living ’cellist is Willem Willeke, born in Austria of a Dutch father and an English-Hungarian mother and now an American citizen. He has owned Piatti’s Amati ’cello for a long time. At a dinner given by music lovers in Willeke’s honor the other night in New York, the Tourte bow which Piatti used was given to the ’cellist reuniting two famous instruments. Nobody ever heard such music as Willem Willeke produced when he drew that bow across the strings of that ’cello. CREDIT . . . the original idea— When the five-day week and the “staggering” of hours of employ ment so that everybody will have a job become the general practice in the United States—and I see signs which make me believe that they are coming—perhaps the credit will go to the man who started the pro ject, perhaps not. The man is Isador Teitelbaum, who makes and sells fine furniture in New York. One day last fall Mr. Teitelbaum, who is a deep stu dent of economic questions, outlin ed his idea of the short week and the wider distribution of jobs. “Come out to the national conven tion of the Furniture Association and tell them about it,” his friend urged. Mr. Teitelbaum had never made a public speech in his life, but he talked that convention, Repre senting employers of 400,000 men and women, into indorsing his plan. Since then the shorter week and the staggered hours system has been put forward by hundreds of others, and it was one of the big features of the President’s indus trial conference a couple of weeks ago. Somebody else may get the credit for starting it, which is why I want to put it in the record now that it was Isador Teitelbaum’s original idea. HOARDERS . . . still with us— “Frightened” money is beginning to come out of the tin cans and mattresses. It takes a lot of per suasion, though, to get some of it back into* the channels of trade again. Up in my country the largest store in southern Berkshire county went out of business, and closed out its stock at unheard of prices. On the opening day of the sale, which was widely advertised, the main street of Great Barrington was al most impassable, it was so crowded with farmers and village folk rush ing to buy the bargains. And the money they brought was what they had carefully hoarded away, fearing to put it into the banks. “We took in more than ten thou- and dollars in the old-fashioned irge-sized currency on the first .ay of the sale,” the manager told ie. “Many of the bills were act- ally moldy, and almost all of them . ere creased and damp.” There are still hundreds of mil- ons of dollars of these old “big ills” unaccounted for, the Treas- ry reports. Comfortable Homos Always Have a Bedside Telephone Do you still leave your nice warm bed to make chill trips to answer late hour telephone calls? And perhaps stub your toe, and ruin both the furni ture and your disposition? Don’t put up with this inconvenience. You can have an extension telephone placed right beside your bed. It costs very, very little. Besides, a bedside tele phone will give you a sense of protection at night, too. And if you are ever ill, you find it’s almost indispensable. Just call our office and we’ll arrange for it. On many an occasion hereafter, you’ll be glad you did. S. C. CONTINENTAL TELEPHONE CO.

Sheep Help Boy To College He started with a lamb as a 4-H Club projection in 1925 and today he has a fine flock. It consists of 12 ewes and a ram, and two show yearlings. That is the record in brief of Gladden Skinner of Tip pecanoe County, Indiapa. And next year this boy, 20 year old son of a thrifty tenant farmer, expects to increase his flock to 15 ewes. Then it is likely to remain stationary, for Gladden is going to Purdue Uni versity for a course in agriculture. But they have proven such a nice feature of the farm program in cleaning up weeds and in other char&cteristic ways that it is fairly certain they will be a permanent institution on this farm. It is probable, too, that sheep will always have a warm place in the hearts of Gladden and his parents because the records they made for him in his seven years of sheep projects were important in helping him win a $500 scholarship at Pur due to start him off on a college career. Here are the reasons which Gladden has given, in a letter to Mr. G. L. Noble, managing director of the National Committee on Boys and Girls Club Work. “In the first place our pastures and fence corners and rows were very weedy,’ 7 he writes, “and we had always heard there was noth ing like sheep to keep foul growth down. And now we know it is true. We also wanted to increase our livestock, but without keeping more of, the kind we already had. Also, we rent our farm and what ever I bought to raise, the feea would come from my father’s share of the grain. Oats is the cheapest of the grains we grow, and it is al so an ideal feed for sheep, especial ly ewes. So I figured sheep were a better thing for me than some oth er stock, especially when we had none.” Gladden started with Shropshires and his present flock is composed of purebred individuals of this breed. He chose them because the> were a popular breed in his sec tion, which meant a good sale for his surplus breeding stock, and they are also a general purpose animal Success has not come without close ly attending to business. In the seven years of lamb projects, Glad den has studied the habits of his sheep, studied the literature on sheep, learned all he could from sheepmen, and faithfully attended to the flock, rain or shine. The last three years he has gone into beef calves and has made a fine record in that line. Gladden’s suc cess with sheep earned him the of- I fice of assis^nt director in the i sheep department of the county ! fair. txi A truth is an idea that has been put to a practical test and not found wanting.
