X Agriculture Depart ment To Have Good Exhibit At State Fair PENALTY OF EXCESS FAT . Although she has lost but 7 lbs. of her overweight, this woman finds that 7 lbs. has made a remarkable difference to her. Her letter reads: “I am x 53 years old and my height is 5 ft. Last year I weighed 154 lbs. I have been tak ing a half-teaspoonful of Kruschen Salts, making no change in my diet. Now I am less round the hips, and only weigh 147 lbs. dressed. But I leel lighter and can now run up stairs, which before used to make me gasp for breath. Everyone says how well and fit I look.”— Miss J JI. Kruschen is an ideal blend of 6 separate salts which help body or gans to function properly and maintain a splendid. degree of health—it builds up energy and strength while you’re reducing to normal weight. Get Kruschen Salts at any live druggist in the world—a Jar lasts 4 weeks and costs not more than #5 cents. The work of the Department of Agriculture, Commerce and Indus tries of South Carolina will * be prominently displayed at the State Fair this year, according to J. Roy Jones, head of the department. Material to be used in the exhi bit to be arranged by the depart ment is' being gathered from the farms, gardens, and manufacturing plants of the state. A large quanti- y of goods and products have been assembled and are being put in shape for the display. The building in which the de partment will make its exhibit this year will be attractively painted and decorated and will afford the thousands of fair visitors an op portunity to learn more about the wide varietv of work being carried on under the direction of Commis sioner Jones. Samples of farm products, gar dens, orchards, cotton and other textile mills, canning factories, and other industries, and agricultural undertakings will be shown in the department exhibit. With the greatly enlarged work of the department over former years Mr. Jones feels that the dis play this fall will be more educa tional and interesting than ever before. Information regarding the ser vices rendered fanners and manu facturers and labor will be avail able to visitors during the fair. In cluded in this will be the work of the state warehouse system which was placed in the Department of Agriculture during the last session of the legislature. One of the interesting features Df the display this year will be that of the Natural Resources Division of the department. Commissioner Tones recently announced a state wide campaign to bring before the people of the state and other states she advantages of using South Car olina food products with their high ;odine content. “The State Fair offers our citi zens an opportunity to learn more about South Carolina than they can get in almost any other way, certainly in such a short time”, de clares Mr. Jones and adds that •‘this department is cooperating in every way possible to make the fair of greater value to our stat?”. WET WEATHER WARNINGS Don’t dry wet shoes too quickly—and, of course, don’t wear wet shoes any longer than absolutely necessary. Keep your sofes off hot sur faces—like stoves. rter m pipes, etc., especially if the shoes are wet. Alternate shoes—Give one pair a refet each day so as to dry them^.out well. Keep shoes polished—The oils in good polish are just as beneficial to the life of leath er as is the shine to appear ance. Keep some polish han dy at all times. Use shoe trees—To pre serve the shape and comfort of shoes. % Wat^h your roles—Don't wear them too thin or past the riar'rw point. Have your shoes re-bottomed in time and you will get a more comfortable and economical job. Keep your heels straight —Crooked, run-over heels not only look -bad but strain the seams; shoes soon rose their shape and break down instead of wearing out. Run-over heels slip most easily on wet pavements. Now’s The Time To HAVE YOUR SHOES RE-BUILT W. S. ARRINGTON’S SHOE SHOP * • AUGUSTA STREET .... McCORMICK, S.

Maintain Hififh Level o Production of Ford cars and ‘rucks in September has been sche duled at the same high daily rate as in August, it was announced at the offices of the Ford Motor Com pany, Detroit. This situation, it was said, is unprecedented. August pro duction was the greatest for the year to date. August retail deliveries of Ford cars and trucks reached the great est volume for the year thus far, and were 41 per cent greater than August 1932, indicating the rising volume of Ford sales during a time when usually sales volume registers a decline. The retail sales volume of Ford passenger cars in August was the largest since June 1932 and the re tail sales of Ford trucks the great est since October 1931. Daily sales volume in August is being maintained in September, it was said, on the basis of reports of sales by dealers for the first busi ness days in the month. 1934 License Tags Must Be Purchased Within Four Weeks MAY BE BOUGHT FOR SIX MONTHS—TO GIVE REBATE TO VEHICLE OWNERS McCormick County motorists have little more than a month with which to operate cars with their present license tags for under a law passed by the last legislature all cars must display new 1934 tags after October 31. Sale of tags has not yet been started, but it is likely that distri bution will get uhder way within the next few days. While all motorists who bought tags prior to May 22, when the new bill was passed, have license tags paid for through December 31, thu state highway departmenu will re bate vehicle owners for the two months their present tags are valid. All licenses issued since May 22 however, expire on October 31, and new tags must be acquired at the full price. The new law passed this year au thorizes the highway department to sell tags for either a full year or on a semi-annual basis. The tag itself will bear the expiration date, either April 30 or October 31, 1934. The text of the new motor vehi- ce license law follows: “All licenses shall expire on the 31st day of October of the license year for which such licenses were issued. Annual licenses for all mot or vehicles shall hereafter be is- ued at the full annual rate for the icense year for all motor vehicles : censed and registered during the st half of the license year end- ”g on April 30, and at one-half of semi-annual rates for all motor • chicles licensed and registered c’uring the last half of the license year ending on the 31st day of October: Provided, that for the li cense year beginning on November 1, 1933, and annually thereafter, at the option of the vehicle owner, the highway department is authorized and empowered to accept payment of annual license fees on passenger carrying vehicles, except passenger carrying motor vehicles used for hire, on a semi-annual'basis. “All 1933 licenses issued between The style note sounded in the in formal fall frock shown above has more to do with fabrics than in, at tempt to show any startling new style lines. The neck line, the shoulders, the sleeves and the flar ing skirt are all smart however^ and quite in step with the newer designs of the’tall season. It is the selection of fabric that we hope to be of assistance to the reader who may be planning that new frock now. The reader may .Jeel sure that if she selects ribbed silk fabrics, they are new. If she selects shiny silk fabrics, they are smart. If they are supple silk fabrics, they are right. Satins and velvets are also very much in popular favor just now. London fog greys are very new and very popular. These greys have a hint of brown in them and they are flattering to all complexions. Then there are the artillery greys, the eel greys, the cruise .blues, the brass greens, the zinna reds, the vintage reds and the mole taupes. Bengalines and Ottoman silks are leaders in popularity. The frock above is fashioned from a Benga- line ribbed silk in the popular ar tillery grey. Why Liquid Laxatives are Back in Favor Mrs. J. J. Link, Mrs. S. Ci. Cade,. Miss Lettie May South, Mrs. L.

Dear Sir: The tabulation of the catd . re ports shows telegraph summary ter be correct. There were 899 bales of cotton, counting round as. half bales, ginned in McCormick Coun ty, from the crop of 1933 prior to* September 16, 1933, as compared with 826 bales ginned to September 16, 1932. You will please furnish these to tals to all newspapers in your dis trict. Very respectfully, W. AUSTIN, Director. Sowing Feed Grains To Replace Cotton cdt^ akeur The public is fast returning to the use of liquid laxatives. People have learned that the properly prepared* liquid laxative will bring a perfect movement without any discomforti at the time, or after. The dose of a liquid' Ihxative can be varied to suit the needs of the individual. The action can thus be regulated. A child is easily given the right dose. And mild liquid hutativea. do not irritate the kidneys. Doctors are generally agreed that senna is the best laxative for every body. Senna is a natural laxative. It does not drain the- system like the cathartics that Heave you so thirsty. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a* liquid laxative-whioh>reiie»on wmmmi for its laxative action. It has the average person’s bowels as regular aa clockwork in a few weeks-’'time. You can always get Dr. CaMweUV Syrup Pepsin at any drugstore, ready, for use. Member N. R. A.. Clemson College, erS tJT Xjy -stat^wlio plowed up top arewisely using the acres takei out of cqfton production to increase the acreage of small grain an(f other feed crops, according zo re ports comir' from county farm agents over the state. Typical of' these reports is a statement from D. R. Hopkins, Richland county agent, who says: “An increased acreage. in smhll grain is being planned, and most of .he land taken out of cotton pro duction Willie seeded to grain in October. Thus grain planting, us ually delayed in harvesting the ^rops from the land to be seeded, will be done at the proper time.” In the Piedmont particularly there will be larger supplies of feeds because of the plowing up of cotton, as may be judged from three repre sentative reports. From Anderson County Agent S. M. Byars reports that “Plans are being worked out for utilizing the greater part of the abandoned cotton acreage for grow ing small grains, including wheat for home consumption, and small grain mixtures to be harvested for hay next spring.” Z. D. Robertson, Abbeville countjr agent, says that on account of the drought corn and forage will be short but that a large acreage of small grain will be put in. In Cher okee, according to County Agent S. „ C. Stribling,. farmers planted peas, cane, or corn after plowed-up cot ton and will sow good crops of small grain. 666 1JJCJHI); 'MBLETS, SAEVE* NOSE DROPS Checks. Malaria in 3 days. Golds first day.
