We say this because, before the discovery of Bayer Aspirin, most so-called “pain” remedies were ad vised against by physicians as being bad for the stomach; or, often, for the heart. And the discovery of Bayer Aspirin largely changed medical practice. Countless thousands of people ^rho have taken Bayer Aspirin year an and out without ill effect, have proved that the medical findings about its safety were correct. Remember this: Genuine Bayer Aspirin is rated among the fastest methods yet discovered for the relief of headaches and all common pains • •. and safe for the average person to take regularly. You can get real Bayer Aspirin at emu drug store'— simply by never asking for it by the name “aspirin” alone, but always saying BAYER ASPIRIN when you buy.

SOUTH i v TO TAKE MYSTERY „ OUT OF BANKING By ROBERT V. FLEMING, President American Bankers Association The American Bankers Association has cooperated wherever it could prop erly do so in every measure for national recovery. It has of- Gconec Youth Prize Winner R. V. FLEMING fered constructive recommend a- tions for such changes in bank ing laws as we rec ognized were nec essary, and we now have a better law under which to operate. The Banking Act of 1935 affords us op portunities for broader s e r v ic e and, at the same time, retains the fundamentals which we believe are so vital to our national welfare and which have played a large part in bringing our country, in a comparatively short space of time, to the position of the greatest industrial nation on the earth. The Public and Banking It Is necessary that the public have a thorough understanding of the func tions of banks, what they can do and what they cannot do, for it must be recognized that to many people the business of banking is stilh somewhat of a mystery. We should frankly explain these func tions to the public, acquaint them with the laws under which we operate and emphasize the vital part which banks play in the economic life of the Nation. Therefore, in order that there may be the fullest cooperation and understand ing between the bank: and the people of the country, it will also be one of our objectives to take the mystery out of banking wherever it exists in the public mind. Banking Conferences A series of Regional Conferences on Banking Service will be held in strate gic sections of the country, embracing all types of banking. The new banking laws and the regulations issued there under will be carefully analyzed so that our bankers will have a thorough un derstanding of the broadened services now made possible. The question of public relations and how we can best serve the people of our communities will be another topic of discussion. Clinics or forums on spe cific questions of interest to bankers and the problems confronting them in * their particular localities will also be included in these conferences.

HENRY J. GODIN Sight Specialist Eyes Examined Spectacles And Eye Glasses Professionally Wtted.' 4156 Broad Street Augusta, Ga. The restoration o.” public confidence in banking has put it in the position where it can function fully and vigor ously in playing its full economic part In the progress of recovery, said the American Bankers Association in its annual convention resolutions. “The passage of a generally construc tive banking law in the Banking Act of 1935 has stabilized the banking situa tion and enabled bankers to devote un divided attention to the normal admin istration of their institutions in pro moting the business and public welfare of their communities,” the resolutions said. “We feel that it is a particularly im portant feature of this law that it aims to create through the revision of the Federal Reserve Board a Supreme • Court of Finance which, with the non political appointment of exceptionally competent men, should constitute one of the greatest forward steps in build ing a sound banking and credit system for this country.” The Government in Banking Another resolution said: "We particularly emphasize the de sirability of the retirement of govern ment from those fields of extending credits of various types which can be adequately served by privately owned institutions. We recognize that the exigencies of the now passing depres sion made necessary a large participa tion by government for a time in the task of meeting the public’s emergency financial needs. “Those conditions have been Uargely remedied and .be obligation now rests upon the banks and other financial agencies to demonstrate to the people of this country that they are fully able and willing to meet all demands upon them for sound credit cooperation. It is our duty as bankers to facilitate in every effective way the retirement of government agencies from credit ac tivities by promoting public under standing of the proper function of pri vately owned banking.” Columbia, Feb. 13.—Wilton Nim mons, of the Keowee F. F. A. Chap ter, Oconee County, won first place in the State-Wide Chilean Nitrate Corn Contest, as announced today by W. H. Garrison, Assistant State Supervisor of Agricultural Educa tion. According to his records, Wil ton made 120 bushels of com per acre on his one acre project. Young Nimmons won this honor ! n competition with Vocational Ag ricultural students throughout the ntate He received a total of $75.00 cash as state and district prizes. Or his one acre Wilton estimates that he made a profit of $93.60. This corn was produced. Wilton "ays, at a cost of $14.40 per acre. He values his corn at 90 cents a bushel. The crop was planted on bottom land where corn has been planted for a number of years. The weather conditions were favorable for com. The variety used was Hasting’s prolific, and was fertilized with 100 pounds of natural Chilean nitrate per acre when about knee high. Wilton states that he has learn ed that a liberal application of readily available nitrogen, good seed, and thorough preparation of the soil are essential to a good yield of com. Other district winners as an nounced by Mr. Garrison were Ver non Strickland, Floyds High School; Anderson Morris, Gaffney; Sam Kirkland, Blaney; Paul Brown Haigler, Elloree; Nat Henderson, Ninety Six; and C. C. Hiott, Jr., Walterboro. These district winners received cash prizes of $25.00 each. R. F. Nalley, advisor of the Keowee Chapter of Future Farmers of America and teacher of agricul ture in the Keowee School, super vised Wilton’s project. Ttmrsday, February Resolutions of Respect Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God, our Supreme Grand Master, to transfer from this Terrestrial Lodge below to the Celestial Lodge above, Brother J. J. Dorn, P.T.st Mas ter of this Lodge and a loyal for twenty-eight years, therefore be it resolved: 1st. That while we mourn the mtimely and tragic death of our departed brother, on account o his many virtues, we bow in humble submission to the will of Him whe “doeth all things well.” In Hi: passing from this earthly scene, our Lodge, Masonry at large, and the community in which he lived, have all sustained a great loss. A true Mason, he was ever ready to Ttretch forth the strong arm of charity to support the weak am helpless. To us it seems that his work was not finished; yet his column is broken. In our minds and hearts his memory is on perpetual record. May his reward be an en trance into Eternal bliss, into the Temple not made with hands, eter nal in the heavens, where the Supreme Architect of the Universe forever presides. 2nd.

TERMS OF SALE. CASH; Pur chaser to pay for papers and stamps. J. FRANK MATTISON. Master for McCormick County, S. G: Ffeb. 8, 1936.—31, Plant Lespedeza A Versatile Crop Making Hay While Sun Shone Paid Student $136.56 Columbia. Feb. 3.—Lamar Rich- bourg, a student in* vocational agri culture in the Liberty High School, Pickens County, made hay while the sun shone last year and as a result he is today $136.56 better off, representing his net earnings on his awo-acre project. The hay was produced in two crops, accoikiing to a report on file in the office of the state suoer- visor of vocational agriculture in Columbia. t>»e/1rst <*roo being ro^% in early fall. For this crop a mix ture of vetch, Austrian peas. crimson clover, wheat and cats was used. When the hav was about r *' r inches hieh, it was fertilized ™dt’i ^ 200 pounds of natural Chilean j nitrate per acre. The hay was cut when the vetch was in full bloom making a yield of five tons. Soon after the first crop was harvested by young Richbourg, ac cording to his reoort, the summe * hay crop consisting of peas, cane and soy beans was ’ planted. This crop was harvested late in Sep tember and made a yield of 7 tons. Weather conditions were verv favorable, young Richbourg said and he had no trouble with insect pests. The project was conducted under the supervision of A. C. Ware, Jr.> teacher of vocational ag riculture, at Liberty. Two Remedies For Lice On Calves Clemson, Feb. 1.—Success with lespedeza, experience has shown is governed very largely by the time of sowing, says C. G. Cushmaii, ex tension dairyman, advising that the most desirable time to sow is the first half of February. Though the crop may be seeded as late ar March 15, success is more and more hazardous with plantings after Feb 15. This versatile crop, which has grown greatly in popularity in re cent years, is excellent as a per manent pasture clover, as a graz ing crop, as a hay crop, and as a soil builder, Mr. Cushman points out. “In permanent pastures it will furnish abundant grazing during summer and fall and tends to bal ance the other pasture grasses,” he continues. “It will likewise furnish a source of nitrogen for the other oasture. grasses and thereby in crease the abundance of the whole mixture. Twenty-five to 30 pound per acre is the recommended rate of seeding on permanent pastures It may be simply broadcast over th( pastures. Efficiency in germinatio can be improved by following seed ing with a drag harrow to ‘settle’ the seed to the ground, particular ly if the sod present is rather dense “Lespedeza seeded on the winte grain crop will furnish abundant grazing following grain harvest and serve as a most excellent soil build er. If rainfall is adequate and wel] distributed through the summer months, it will also yield a crop of excellent cured hay. “Through the use of the ‘pan’ method of gathering seed, anj farmer can save his own seed sup plies and soon get all his pasture lands well seeded besides having an abundant supply of seed to sow for grazing in cultivated fields o: • for a hay crop when conditions are favorable.” NOTICE OF ELECTION FOR SCHOOL TRUSTEES': ACCURATE RECORDS The keeping of accurate records con stitutes an essential part of any success ful business management,^ whether manufacturing, merchtndising or farm ing. It is quite renerally conceded that any good business concern keeps ade quate records/ and this procedure is equally important in the business of farming, declares the Bulletin of the American Bankers Association Agri- taaRmral Commlsslorg. , l Clemson, Feb. 15.—Farmers in general may benefit from two reme dies for lice on calves given by C.
