General Holmes B. Springs, state Selective Service director, was generous in his praise of those employers who returned the men to their former duties. “The cooperation of those em ployers who have returned the men to their former jobs cannot be praised highly enough,” Gen eral Springs said. “It is gratifying to know that South Carolina employers are so patriotic and fair that they are carrying out the principles of the Selective Service act. It was never intended that any hardships should be worked on the individual registrant, and South Carolina’s employers, on the whole, are see ing to it that there will be no disruption in the life of the re jected selectee. “Those men have the thanks of /the whole Selective Service organ ization.” MUSCLES WEAK AND SORE FROM RHEUMATIC PAIN were made, 51 clinic visits made] and 244 tuberculin tests were ] given. 3 midwife meetings were held with an attendance of 36. 43 home and office visits were made for midwife. supervision. 13 Venereal Disease clinics were held this quarter. 14 new patients admitted to medical service. 312 clinic visits were made. 106 treat- J couraged from diversifying, but ments of Neoarsphenamine, 91 should consider the possibilities Bismuth and 5 Mapharsen were of cooperative efforts.

Feels So Much Relief Since Taking RUX Compound And Williams Formula, Hopes Others May ; Profit By Her Statement! I If Rheumatic, Neuritic or Neu ralgic Pairs distress you, we refer you to the statement of Mrs. Emma Conner, livmer at Fairvtew, N. C. (near Asheville). Mrs. Con ner says, “Rheumatic-like pains seemed to follow a constipated, run-down feeling in my case. I have been distressed with all this upset and knew that I would have to get relief in a number of ways to really feel satisfied. I am taking both RUX Compound and Williams Formula and I find that those two medicines are giving me splendid relief. I can eat so many more foods without gas and bloat ing pains, my rheumatic-like pains are being relieved, and my in testinal elimination stimulated. So you know why I am glad to tell my friends of the relief these medicines are bringing me.” In your own case, the only true test is an actual trial, so decide to get your RUX Compound at the Peoples Drug Store and start tak ing it. 3 economical sizes. Get the Genuine (liquid). Sold by leading druggists everywhere. Etubbornly refuse any siM>stifcntes. —Adv. 255 office visits were made by N.Y.A., C.C.C., and Hot Lunch Servers.

T.XI Interest Growing In Farmer Cooperatives Columbia, April 12.—The possi bility of selling farm products to Army Posts in South Carolina, and increased competition from other areas, seems to be stimulating interest in cooperative efforts a- mong South Carolina farmers, reports Geo. E. Prince, chief of the Clemson College Extension Service Division of Markets. “Furthermore, ‘mass buying’ by chain stores and other organized groups are forcing South Carolina producers to recognize the possi bilities and necessity of ‘mass selling’,” says Mr. Prince, “al though our state and federal gov ernments have been encouraging and promoting organized efforts for our producers for many years. Mr. Prince advises that those growers who plan to produce products for sale to Army Posts should study their requirements. It seems that vegetable growers who are already experienced in producing these crops, and have suitable soil, are in a position to take advantage of these oppor tunities. With each increasing their acreage slightly the produc tion can be stepped up very rapidly. He suggests that county agricultural agents be consulted in reference to federal grades and the possibility of setting up co operatives so that the produce can be assembled and properly graded. After all, successful marketing actually starts with the selection of varieties, soil, good seed, and careful production practices. “In most instances, grower co operatives are only another mid dleman and if they cannot per form some definite function, or if they cannot expect loyalty from its members, there is perhaps no excuse for such organizations”, the marketing agent declares. “Cooperatives to be successful must have volume, must supply the trade with goods and grades desired, must have loyal members, must be adequately financed, and must render efficient service to its members. Many failures of cooperatives can be traced to the fact that their managers could do no better job than their competi tors, and to a lack of support by members. “Growers should not be dis- of our vegetable crops offer ad ditional possibilities for increasing their cash income.” xx Former President S. C. Mitchell TO PREACH BACCALAUREATE AT USC. Columbia, April 15.—Dr. Samuel Chiles Mitchell, former president of the University of South Caro lina and now head of the depart ment of history and political science at the University of Rich mond, will deliver the bacca laureate sermon to the Carolina graduating class the night of June 1, President J. Rion McKissick has announced. “Doctor Mitchell’s administra tion of the University from 1909 to 1913 was one of the most note worthy and constructive in its history,” President McKissick said. “He is greatly esteemed by mem bers of the faculty and by former students who were at Carolina under him. An M. A. of Georgetown College (Kentucky) and a PhJD. of the University of Chicago, Doctor Mitchell has been in the education al field 53 years. He has been a professor in Mississippi College, Georgetown College, the University of Richmond and Brown Univer sity. For six years he was presi dent of the University of Dela ware.
