Page Fottf McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK. SOUTH CAROLINA Thursday, July 19, 1934 Women Of State Urged To Enroll McColl, July 14.—A call to the women of South Carolina to place their names upon the enrollment books, thereby qualifying them selves to vote in the August pri mary, was sounded here by Mrs. Eula Roper McColl, woman execu tive of the Federated Forces for Temperance and Law Enforcement in South Carolina, which organiza tion is conducting the campaign to keep the state in the dry columns. Mrs. McColl, in her appeal, urged the women of the state to enroll immediately, pointing out that tax receipts and registration certifi cates are not necessary and that past enrollments will not suffice, all voters having to enroll again this summer. “I wish to urge the women of South Carolina to place their names upon the enrollment books immediately in order to qualify for the primary on August 28,” Mrs. McColl said, “on which date the state will vote for or against the legalization of liquor. I appeal to every woman to prepare ta cast a dry vote.” “Results in states that voted wet last November are appalling; reve nue is not what advocates of liquor said it would be, and drinking is ■on the increase all over the na tion,” Mrs. McColl continued, “and 1 am sure the women of South Carolina do not want similar con ditions in this state. The women can and must play a big part in preventing our state’s putting its approval on liquor and sanctioning one of society’s greatest evils. The defined purpose of the liquor in terests is to make the 82 per cent of our homes not now using wines and liquors adjuncts to the saloon.” “The enrollment books close Tuesday, July 24. In the name of better citizenship, I appeal to you to do your duty to yourself and your state by enrolling now and help prevent the legalization of liquor,” Mrs. .McCOll concluded. x Farmers Used 83.3 Per Cent Of Loans To Refinance In debtedness In Year it 4-H CANNERS NEED HELP Four-H' girls carrying on can ning projects are faced with a seri ous problem owing to the extreme (early hot weather and drouth which is reducing the supply and variety of sound fruits-and vege tables. Some girls have been for tunate in starting to can early, making the fullest use of berries and new garden products. Where these are yet available club girls are urged to make the largest pos sible use of them lest later sup plies fail. A large section of * the 550,000 girls enrolled in 4-H clubs is par ticipating in the contest jvhicl^ i S sponsored by the Kerr Glass Cor poration and provides gold medals lor county champions, a trip to the 13th National Club Congress for each state champion, and a $400.00 scholarship for the national win ner. Some fruit and vegetable growers have been more fortunate, as usual, than others in getting good crops due to differences - in soil, cultural methods and varieties. These growers are discovered by e little inquiry and are usually glad to help club members fill their needs. In Minnesota a share plan ha' worked well, as in some other stages. It works like this: If A ba the jars and B does the work and has the products A gets one-fourth If A lias jars and products and F supplies work and equipment thp- go 50-50. If A has the product- only, A gets one-fourth. If A ha r the jars and equipment and E supplies the remainder they sharr 50-50. If A has only the equipment A gets one-fifth. The plan may be altered to suit varying situations. Food products not commonly canned are b*dng made more use of this year. These include such as mushrooms, sweet corn, peas in the pod where the crop is short, Held peas, cowpeas, dandelion and other wild greens, melon rind, and others which will be suggested by these. In spite of the drouth club members and leaders need not lack products if they will “dust around” a little to secure them. Columbia, July 7.—Farmers in ho Columbia Federal Land Bank listrict who borrowed $57,560,957 of ’and bank and Commissioner’s loans during the year ending June l, used $47,943,826 or 83.3 per cent if this sum to refinance their in debtedness. the Farm Credit Ad ministration of Columbia today an nounced. The Columbia district comprises Torth Carolina, South Carolina, Teoreria and Florida. Of the total used for refinancing T5,427,120 refinanced debts to 'nnks. $3,019,333 refinanced taxes, ’.877,578 debts to merchants, $3,- ’24.283 their debts to insurance lompanies, and $25,385,028 their lebts to “others,” including private nortgage loan companies, individ uals. and a variety of unclassified creditors. All but $9,617,131 of the total loan ed by the land bank and the Com missioner in the Columbia district during the year was used for re financing. This shows that the re financing program has resulted in very little increase in the indebted ness of farmers in the district. Of the money not employed in refinancing, $7,396,274 was used for :he purchase of land and equip ment, the construction or improve ment of buildings, for improve ments, and for general agricul tural uses, including the provisions of capital, while the balance, $2, 220,857, was used for other pur poses, such as the redemption or repurchase of land previously fore closed, for purchase of stock in na tional farm loan associations, for loan fees, etc. Figures for South Carolina show that of the $14,485,595 received by borrowers $4,309,318 went to refi nance debts to banks; $559,986 debts to insurance companies; $879,106 *taxes; $105,726 debts to merchants and $6,203,890 debts to others, making a total of $12,058,- 026 that was used for refinancing. Of the remainding $2,427,369, a to tal of $1,778,528 was used in equip ment, land, buildings, improve ments, general agricultural uses and $648,841 for redemption or re purchase, N. F. L.

A Lesson for July 22nd. 1 Kings 19:9-21. Golden Text: 1 Samuel 3:9. Chevrolet June Sales Continue Advance The pigmy Marmoset in the Lon don zoo can sit comfortably in a teaspoon. Detroit,- July 12.—Chevrolet’s record-breaking sales continued their advance in June, shattering all monthly records since May, 1931, and'achieving the highest June to tal since 1929, officials of the Chev rolet Motor Co. announced * today. Retail sales for the month, as com piled from dealers’ reports, were the basis of the announcement. The showing is considered es pecially notable in light of experts’ predictions that automotive volume in general would fall off some 12 per cent during June. Instead of reteding, Chevrolet sales showed a gain of more than 12 per cent. Dealers credit Chevrolet’s new low prices, which took effect June 2, with upsetting the prediction so i’ar as Chevrolet is concerned, and paving the way for this substantial ncrease. iX± ’ Chevrolet Dealers Sell 35,000 Automobile Radios In 90 Days Detroit, July 12.—Chevrolet deal ers have sold 35,000 automobile radios to purchasers of new Chev rolet cars in the last 90 days, M. D. Douglas, parts and service mana ger of the Chevrolet Motor Co., an nounced here today. The report covers only the sets installed in new 1934 Chevrolets. It does not include the additional thousands purchased from Chevrolet dealers by owners of other cars or of earlier Chevrolets. While the accomplishment is im portant in itself, as setting an all- time record for radio sales by Chev rolet dealers, Chevrolet officials are especially interested in it as an index of the public’s increased buying power. It signifies that many automobile buyers instead of contenting themselves with the car itself, have enough money over square meal is a first rate means of banishing gloom. His appetite ap peased, the prophet, like Moses, spent forty days and nights in soli tary communion with God. Then the Lord asked a searching question, “What doest thou here, Elijah?” There was important work for the prophet to accomplish. A discouraged man usually needs not less work but more.

It made me great” Farmers’ Week Makes Appeal To Women Clemson College, July 14.—Better farm homes and better living in the farm home, with attention also to the economics of farm home making will make up the program for farm women at this year’s Farmers’ Week. “Miss Lonny I. Landrum, state home agent, and her co-workers are now busy with the details of a program of lectures for morning hours and practical demonstrations for afternoon hours that should at tract many scores of farm women to this year’s gathering,” says Dr. W. W. Long, director of the Exten- And when Elijah had ascended, an altogether extraordinary spec- I sion Service and chairman of Far tacle met his gaze. Magnificent i mers’ Week displays of physical power greeted his astonished eyes. But God. much to the prophets’s surprise, was not in the wind, or the earth quake, or the fire. He spoke, in stead in a still small voice. And so Elijah learned that the Jjord can softly, as well as loudly, • • • • • the first line of which reads, "The Holy Bible,’' and which con tains Four Great Treasures ZyfcMUU: * tSA-RT ON ISAIAH’S SUPERB OPTIMISM Isaiah, called upon to save Jeru salem from the Assyrian Army, | wasted no time rubbing in his re- j proaches, but spoke with a voice which put new courage into the king and all his forces. Therefore thus saith the 'J Lord concerning the king of Assyria. He shall not come in to this city, nor shoot an ar- • | row there, nor come before it with shields, nor bast a bank against it. By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the Lord. ... Then the angel of the Lord went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hun dred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses. We are not dependent upon the Bible alone for the story oi this nvasion. Scientists in their prob ings into ancient records have found the account written by Sen nacherib, the Assyrian king, him self, and his own confession that the expedition failed to capture Jerusalem. While Isaiah denounce^ both Assyria and Egypt, and urged Jeru salem to avoid entangling alliances with either of them, he had a con ception of international relations ^ which is amazingly modern in the : best sense of the word. In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to As syria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land: Whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance. This is precisely as if, while we were still at war with Germany, having Great Britain as our near est ally, we had said: “Some day the war will be over and the Divine plan will include and need us all. The United States is to be one of three powers in the future glory of the w'orld, and the other two are to be Great Britain and Germany. Isaiah had to be a pessimist as to the immediate future, but his superb optimism is shown all through his work, and comes to its worthiest expression in the poem with which his own book of ser mons ends: Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. ' Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come . . . Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped: Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water. . . The series of morning lectures now being arranged will include daily discussions on home beauti fication, home gardening, spend ing the clothing dollar, canning, etc. There will be also special dis cussions of the economics of the farm home, by Miss Mary A. Rokahr, home economics specialist of the Extension Service, U. S. De partment of Agriculture; nutrition, by Miss Ada M. Moser, research specialist in home economics; house accounts, by Miss Mary E. Frayser, home economist of the South Carolina Experiment Sta tion; and farm youth problems, by Mrs. Harriette Johnson, state girls’ club agent. Each’ afternoon demonstrations will be given by competent special ists on drying fruits and vegetables, making cheese, dry cleaning, mat tress making, soap making, and various other practical processes towards greater economy and bet- ! ter service for farm homes. Furthermore, the purely recrea tional and entertainment features of the Farmers’ Week program will appeal strongly to farm women a- way from the routine of the farm home.
