Nevertheless, the sweetened poison is not effec tive against some species of ants which show their fondness for greasy foods. For the grease-eat ing species, the best control has been obtained by rubbing tartar emetic on strips of raw or cooked Week June 2 to 9 meat. A slow-acting ant poison being Great Nation-wide Exhibition General Motors Products A great nation-wide exhibition of General Motors products will be .staged throughout the country the week of June 2 to 9, inclusive.

Since druggists are equipped with delicate balances for weigh ing the ingredients and also stock the necessary chemicals for the sweetened poison, the complete di rections for ant control have been sent each drug store in the state through a list furnished by Dr. J. M. Atkinson, secretary and inspec tor of the South Carolina Pharma ceutical Association. “A word of caution is necessary since the ant poisons are toxic and should be kept out of reach of children and domestic animals. Cans may be fitted with tops which permit the ants to enter.” x For Qualtiy Butter DAIRYING SPECIALISTS DEMON STRATING THAT RECOM MENDED METHODS PRO DUCE SUPERIOR CREAM AND BUTTER Newberry, May 21.—A most valu able long-time demonstration in the production of quality cream for the manufacture of quality butter will be concluded in Newberry county during the next two weeks, according to C. G. Cushman, ex tension dairy specialist. The dem onstration has been conducted for three years by Joel J. Winkjer, as sociate dairy manufacturing spe cialist of the Bureau of Dairy In dustry, Washington, in co-operation with the Clemson College Exten sion Service. Each two months for the past three years Mr. Winkjer has been scoring for quality all cream brought to the Newberry Creamery by farmers, and in co-operation with T. F. Cooley, dairy specialist for Newberry county, has been visiting these farmers and recom mending a practical system of handling farm-produced cream so that the best quality cream can be furnished the creamery for butter making. Mr. Winkjer is now in Newberry and during the next two weeks will manufacture into but ter the cream coming from' farms which have consistently scored high for three years. He will do ’ikewise with cream from low-scor ing farms. He will then score thf resulting butter and correlate the Hfference in scores with farm oractices used by the high-scoring farms. The results of this demonstration will be used to show the economic value to the farmer of recommend- -‘d methods of cream production and handling which lead to a high duality product, thus vindicating ‘he recommended practices. Ac- Dearborn, Mich., May 13.—World sales of Ford passenger cars, com mercial cars and trucks totalled 278,553 units in the first four months of 1934, according to an nouncement today at the Home Office of the Ford Motor Company. Reflecting the general improve ment in business activity and buy ing power throughout the World, the total was 158.6 per cent greater than the total for the same period of 1933, which was 107,699 units. By every means of comparison, Ford sales totals in the first four months’ period were more than one and one-half times greater than in the same period last year. The greatest increase was in domestic sales in the United States. The total for the first four months of 1934 was 214,733, which was 176 per cent greater than the 77,758 units sold in the same period last year. The balance making up the world total included sales of Cana dian and Eurbpfeah production. The greatest relative improve ment in F#ft"1»les took place te South America and the Far East where the totals for the four month period of 1934 were four times those of 1933; in the British dominions where the totals were nine times greater than last year, and in Canada where the totals were five times that of last year. The sales gain in Europe which was greatest outside the United States in unit volume was 36 per cent over last year’s figures. Domestic Ford production in May is expected to reach a total of 110,000 units, which is at the rate of 5,000 cars a day. This compares with production of 46,448 in May 1933. txt it - BY PATRICIA DOW t;--" S v. y 'ft r>V PdttcAAt I 82.02 j Quality in dairy products is be- Designed in Sizes: 36, 38, 40, 42 44, 46, 48, 50 and 52.

The wind-swept motive is very be coming to the larger woman. The printed silks lead in the street scene for summer, next in importance are the dark sheers.

Public Health Service and Dr. Hugh Wyman of the State Board of Health, made very interesting talks on health and sanitation last Fri day evening to about forty men and women. They both stressed the importance of the prevention of •disfea'se. Dr. Applewhite placed emphasis m ttffe open privy as a menace to 'lealth and a favorable breeding olace for typhoid bacilli. He ad vocated as a substitute for a water and sewerage connection a sanitary privy, the type now being con structed by the relief organization in many sections. However, he said, a water and sewerage con nection is better and preferable. Ford V-8 Sets Dirt Track Record A new world’s dirt track record for a 250 mile course was estab lished last week at Oakland, Cali fornia, when Louis Meyer, driving a Ford V-8, took first place, cover ing the distance in 3 hours, 13 minutes 4 3-5 seconds. Twenty stock cars participated in the race which was held on a dry track with excellent weather conditions prevailing. The first six cars to finish were Ford V-eights piloted by such well known stars of the track as Sam Palmer, Danny De Paolo, Ted Horn, Mel Kenealy and A1 Gordon. Throughout the grind the win ner’s car performed consistently and under his masterful handling was able to sweep on to one of the most impressive victories ever seen at the famous California track. The fact that the first six cars to finish were Ford V-eights was hailed by Ford officials and Ford dealers as another striking indication of the consistent speed and the excellent maneuverability of this car and also demonstrated the manner in which a stock car of this type stands up under the terrific pun ishment which is the portion of any car which goes this distance on a dirt track. -txj- THINGS WORTH KNOWING Of the 200 blind Boy Scouts in the United States, three have at tained the rank of eagle Scouts.

Ground Beef Has Variety of Uses Ground beef, so easily cooked and so economical, may be a real stand by in the menu without danger of the meals becoming monotonous, for it can be prepared in an almost endless number of ways.

MEW* 4-H MEETS NEED Four-H clubs supply many needs of rural youth — recreation, the chance to cultivate talents which enrichen life, money, and so on, but where it serves boys and girls best is in teaching them the “know how” of doing the important things which make up the routine of our existences. The 4-H way calls for a boy or girl actually doing a thing is a part cf the learning. Learning by doing is an old and ^ound method of teaching. It is the method by which man first learned to do things beyond what the animal could do. It is the way so-called uncivilised man taught his children the things he knew. He taught them how to build a fire by having them watch him and then try it themselves. After r certain number of trials they alsc could build a fire. All this may ^eem a foolish., di&r cussion to persons familiar with the accomplishments of 4-H clubs and members. Still it has an important bearing bn why 4-H club work has met such a widespread need among rural boys and girls. It teaches them to do the important things in their homes and on their farms and in all matters of living. Once a girl has made bread a time or two she knows pretty well that she can when and If she has to. When a boy has raised an acre of corn or a pig he has learned what he could not learn any other way so well. Same way as to con duct, health and so on. The boy or girl might spend days and weeks studying at a desk how to do these things—might read all the books and bulletins on the sub ject and never feel sure how to do them. All of which leads to the point that most of us learn easiest, if at all, by doing. Mental tests prove this; Only a few persons out of every 100 can understand a fun- ■ . .‘v NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN,.
