Dr. R. C. Grier, president of Erskine college, delivered the principal ad dress. The list of students who have merited recognition for their work was read by Dr. D. W. Daniel, di rector of the arts and science de partment, and included the follow ing from McCormick county: Rob ert Henry Middleton, Jr., of Clarks Hill, a member of the junior class. Cadet Middleton has also been made a member of Tau Beta Pi, engineering fraternaties. txx PROPERLY FED HENS LAY WELL IN MARCH CLEMSON COLLEGE, April 24.— An average egg production of 16.9 eggs each was mad? by the hens in 104 flocks on which demonstration records were kept in March. The hens ate 11 cents worth of feed each, and returned a gross income of 22 cents, including sales of eggs and meat, leaving an income above feed cost of 11 cents per bird for the month. Flocks with the highest egg pro duction during March in the dif ferent size flocks were those of J. H. King, Abbeville, 33 Barred Rocks which laid 26.9 eggs each; Mrs. Harry Bozard, Orangeburg, 33 Rhode Island Red hens which laid 27.5 eggs each; and W. D. Suther land, Belton, 528 White Leghorn hens which laid 21.4 eggs each. In the egg record calendar flock class J. M. Hemminger, Willington, made best record with 328 White Leg horn hens which averaged 21.6 Observe pigs fpr lice and if in- “The really profitable income can fiested grease them with motor oil. ^ made only when hens are iw Peed 30 days and market sows maximum egg production, and hens which have not raised good litters. j| ay the max imum number of eggs Peed lambs in a, creep with a ^jy W hen they are given the max- VmtKtoMr well-balanced concen- quantity of fee d,” says P.

Remove males from laying flock when incubation season 4s over. Produce infertile eggs. Provide shade for growing chicks. 'Ilg.vrvr $23,763.92 Comes To McCormick Gooding, extension poultryman, discussing the results. “Many poultry men make the mistake of discontinuing feeding mash to hens in the spring and summer months. This is unwise, for since eggs con tain a high per centage of protein and the hen must make eggs from the feed given her, if she is given only grain, which contains very lit tle protein, she can not be expect ed to lay a great many eggs. The way to cut the cost of feed is by disposing of hens that stop laying early in the summer and not by poorly feeding the whole flock. A hen that continues to lay will make money during the summer months; but she cannot continue to lay un less she has a full feed of a well balanced ration.” txx ROM DUKE ENDOWMENT SINCE IT WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1924 CHARLOTTE, N. C., April 27 — Appropriations of the Duke en dowment for hospitals and orphan fingTw** in North Carolina and South f?nTT*Hr>g since it was established In 1924 have amounted to a total of $7,114,658.73, according to figures released yesterday by Dr. W. S. Rankin, director of the hospital and orphans section of the endow ment. These figures are for the eight years the endowment has been in existence and thus include appro- priailom for hospitals and orphan ages in 1933.

May Relief Fund Less Than Hoped The May allotment of $763,455 by the Reconstruction Finance corpor ation to the state relief council foi use in South Carolina brings the total that has been received by this state to $4,575,000 since the incep tion of the project. The May al lotment was much lower than the amount asked by the State Relie council. This money has already been al lotted to the various counties and will be distributed on its arrival from Washington. Included in the allotments is $3,105 for the state board of health for use in 24 coun ties. Charleston and Spartanburg with $70,000 each and Richland and Greenville with $55,000 each lead the list.

A NEWS MAKER Let us look at Jesus twenty-four hours, schedule; see how it bristles whh front-page news. The activity begins at sunrise. Jesus was an early riser. We discover a little boat pushing out from the shore of the lake. It deposits Jesus and his disciples in Capernaum, his favorite city. He proceeds at once to the house of a friend. The report spreads instantly that he is in town, and a crowd collects outside the gate a poor palsied chap among them. The day’s work is at hand. Having slept soundly in the open air he meets the call with quiet nerves. He stoops down toward the sufferer. “Be of good cheer, my son,” he cries, “your sins are all forgiven.” Sins forgiven. Indeed. The respectable members of the audience draw back with sharp disapproval. What a blasphemous phrase,” they exclaim. “Who authorized him to exercise the functions of God. What right has he to decide whose sins shall be forgiven?’ Jesus sensed rather than heard their protest. He never courted controversy but he never dodged it; much of his fame arose out of the reports of his verbal victories. “What’s the objection?” he exclaimed, turning on the dissenters. “Why do you stand there and criticize. Is it easier to say, ^Thy sins be forgiven thee, or say. Arise, take up thy bed and walk?’ The results are the same.” Bend ing over the sick man again he said: “Arise, take up thy bed and go unto thine house.” • The man stirred and was amazed to find that his mus cles responded. Slowly, doubtingly he struggled to his feet, and with one great shout of happiness started off, sur rounded by his jubilant friends. The critics had received their answer, but they refused to give up. For an hour or more they persisted in angry argument, until the meeting ended in a tumult. Can you imagine that day’s issue of the Capernaum News, if there had been one? PALSIED MAN HEALED . . . JESUS OF NAZARETH CLAIMS. RIGHT TO FORGIVE SINS ...

One of those who had been attracted, by the excite ment was « tax-collector named Matthew. Being a man of business he could not stay through the argument, but slipped away early and was hard at work when Jesus pass ed by a few minutes before noon. That was all. No argument; no offer of inducements; no promise of rewards. Merely “I want you; and the prosperous tax-collector closed his office, made a feast for the brilliant young teacher and forthwith announced him self a disciple.

Then, if you eat too much. I don’t see as many gall-stone cases as I used to.—not at all; people are becoming educated. Not all gall-stones announce themselves by the severe pain of passing through the bile-duct; I once did an aut opsy on an 80-year old patient a woman—who had car ried over seventy large stones in the gall-bladder for years, without knowing she had them. These concretions are caused by long-retained bile in the gall-bladder; they form somewhat like sugar forms in the bottom of the syrup-pitcher that is little used. Preven tion means to keep the bile moving; exercise helps to do this. A plain, nutritious diet, and temperance in eating is another aid. Plenty of green vegetables, the “leafy” sorts are of use in the diet. Lettuce, spinach, dandelion greens, well-prepared cabbage, colslaw, and such. I am partial to the coarser breads at least once daily. People have told me sweet milk and eggs “make them bil- OREGON BEAUTY PARLOR GREENWOOD, S. C.

Someone has lost their senses quite To call on us this time of night.” Pa parks his paper with a scowl; The baby awakened with a howl. While mother told the girls to run And put a few more garments on. Mae grabbed a coat from off a chair And found a pair of shoes somewhere. And stuck a dab of powder on (It might by chance be Bill or John) She hit a chair and bruised her shin. As she ran to let the caller in. ■ ■■ > * • It was their neighbor Mr. Brown, Who lived about two houses down. With whom they barely were acquainted. He said “Hello. It’s cold now, ain’t it?” And pushed the door open wide, • Tracking some snow and sleet inside. “I wonder if you’d mind to loan , A friend in need your telephone?” The Jones’ were cordial as could be. Thinking ’twas some calamity. That brought him out through sleet and snow To call on folks he didn’t know So very well. They led him through \ The living room and hallway, too. Ma bribed the baby to be still. And'this is what they heard: “Hey, Bill. Just heard you’d gotten into town. So thought I’d telephone to ask you down To stay with us while you are here. Yeah, jobs are hard to find this year. My wife says tell your wife she’s right About those Smiths. Come on tonight; We’ll put you up, but if you find You can’t, I know the Jones’ won’t mind If you telephone here so we will know. Well, guess I’d better let you go.” ' w Now, if you have some time to spare And want to learn new ways to swear. Just drop some evening by the Jones’ And mention “borrowed telephones.” South Carolina Continental Telephone Company The Value of the Telephone is Greater Than the Cost J / ions.” I think they are mistaken; the term “biliousness” is so old it has whiskers like all pious old frauds, it means always something else. Best remedy for threat of gall-stones. Phosphate of Soda I mean, best family remedy; it is harmless. Should he taken every morning before breakfast, enough to keep the bowels moving comfortably. , A simple, well-tried remedy is safer in the household than a car-load of exploit ed “specifics” that spell quackery in big letters. The surgery of the gall-bladder is another matter.Your family doctor is your best friend . . . ask him.
