McCormick County
Farmers Get $23,275
Loans and Approvals
McCormick County farmers have
received loans, and approvals for
loans, from the Production Credit
Association amounting to $23,275.00,
according to G. L. Bigford, secre
tary-treasurer of the Association.
Since its recent organization the
association, which includes Edge-
field and McCormick counties, has
made an increasing number of
loans to farmers for growing crops
this season, for purchasing and
producing livestock and for other
general agricultural purposes. Al
together 229 farmers and stockmen
have obtained loans or approvals,
and new applications are being re
ceived daily.
Of the total amount of loans and
approvals of the association, $40,-
855.00 has been paid out in cash to
borrowers, including loans paid in
full and first installments on bud
get loans. The balance of $2,455.00
will be paid out on a budget or in
stallment basis, the money being
advanced to borrowers in amounts
as needed during the season, thus
enabling them to save on interest
costs and finish their crops or live
stock operations by using their
production money for production
purposes.

POPULAR COTTON PLAID
Pattern 8186. The popularity of
plaids in cotton materials con
tinues unabated. Catering to the
demand for an attractive and sim
ple design for general usefulness is
this one-piece frock. The flaring
raglan sleeves are slashed and
pleats inserted giving width and a
finished look about them and the
inverted pleats in the front and
back of the skirt are simple to
make and very effective. The cos
tume is completed by the addition
of the large white tie trimmed with
rick rack braid.
The delightful colors in cottons,
whether checked, plaids or mono-
tones, make choosing a difficult
though interesting task.

THINGS WORTH
KNOW ING
MtB
NEW
TO SAVE WILD LIFE
Boys and girls of our farms and
villages would miss a lot if it were
not for the wild bird and animal
life and natural flowers, shrubs
and trees. These things are among
the most attractive features of
country life. They bring a wealth
of beauty and pleasure into the life
of every person, young or old, who
has an appreciation of them.
Scarcely a day passes throughout
the year in the country which is
not enriched in some way by some
new turn in the wild things which
live and grow in the fields and
about tlpe farmstead. What a thrill
to hear the first note of the robin
or catch the drumming of -the prai
rie chicken in some distant field.
To see the V-shaped flight of wild
geese overhead in their strange mi
gration north or south. Or to hear
the flute-like cry of the high flying
crane, or the mellow whistle of the
jack snipe. What a never ending
object of interest is a colony of
muskrat or beaver. These are only
a few of what might be named.
Among the flowers, shrubs and
trees are objects of rarest beauty
and interest to be found in such
life. The delicacy of the wild rose
in form and fragrance is unrivalled
by any domestic variety, many na
ture lovers hold. The manner of
growth and survival of hundreds of
flowers and plants is of fascinating
interest to those who understand it.
The person who knows trees is
never lonesome when among them.
For all these reasons the conser
vation and appreciation of wild life
is recognized as important subjects
for study in 4-H clubs. They are
ideal to supplement the regular
economic projects, and are con
stantly receiving more considera
tion. Minnesota has just announced
that wild life studies will be a regu-
1 ar project this year in 4-H clubs
which wish to adopt such projects.
Suggested projects thus far are
.vinter feeding of birds, develop
ment and protection of breeding
places for birds and desirable ani
mals, fire prevention and helping
to create respect for game laws.
Abbeville Opera

Cajitor Arrives In
'Roman Scandals'
Eddie Cantor in “Roman Scan
dals,” comes to the Abbeville Opera
House Wednesday and Thursday,
May 16th and 17th.
Ruth Etting, Gloria Stuart and
David Manners appear with him in
the pop-eyed comedian’s fourth an
nual musical comedy for Samuel
Goldwyn, succeeding his “The Kid
from Spain” of last year.
Its story is that of a wide-eyed,
brow-beaten lad in West Rome,
Oklahoma, who, by the power of his
imagination, is carried back to
strange adventures in the Rome of
the Caesars. Fair maids in distress
among the Emperor’s captive beau
ties, intrigue in the affairs of state
and a deep secret with which Eddie-
tries tp escape figure in the riotous
story, which ends in a thundering
chariot race to the sea.
Samuel Goldwyn has maintained
his tradition for lavish production,
beautiful girls and lilting music.
A1 Dubin, Harry {Warren and L.
Wolfe Gilbert have given Eddie
three new tunes and written a
plaintive ballad for Ruth Etting.
Busby Berkeley staged the big
dance spectacles.
“Roman Scandals” was directed
by Frank Tuttle for United Artists
release. •
