THE NEWBERRY SUN FRIDAY, JUNE 13, 1941 PAGE FIVE Garments Under One Dollar Each . Moit- than 84,000 rural families in Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana are learning how to be “all dressed up in cottons” this summer as agents of the Farm Security Administration go into the homes of their clients to demonstrate new cotton wardrobes prepared with the cooperation of the National Cotton Council. Three of the new cotton frocks, each made at a cost of less than a dollar, are shown above. Left to right, a pinafore of cotton domestic, a sports frock of blue denim, and a suit of cotton ticking. WILHELM BURIED AT DOORN Doom, German-Occupied Nether- lans, June 9.—Wilhelm II, former Kaiser of imperial Germany, was buried at noon today with rites which he arranged himself 40 years ago. He died here Wednesday at the age of 82 after almost 23 years of exile following his flight from Ger many in the last days of the World war. Far from Potsdam, whence he once ruled a mighty empire, his bur ial nevertheless was linked symboli cally, at least, with his fatherland. The Rev. Bruno Doehring, once Wil helm’s court preacher, officiated at the rites and sprinkled the former Kaiser’s coffin with earth from the Temple of Sans Souci Park at Pots, dam where his first wife, Auguste Viktoria, lies buried. As early as 1901, Wilhelm’s fam ily learned on reading his will, had determined that his burial should be modest and unobtrusive and, ex cept for the participation of army representatives, should be limited to the immediate family. He desired that there be no lying in state with processions of mourn ers. He also specified then what Bible Verses and church hymns be read and what prayers be said at his funeral. FINISHES EMORY John B. Mayes, son of Mrs. John B. Mayes of this city completed his studies at Emory university and was awarded a diploma on June 7. He was given BA decree. Ann Culbertson of Anderson is spending two weeks with her brother, Mike Culbertson and Mrs. Culbert son. Ann will also visit arolyn Lip scomb while in Newberry. WHEN CROPS HOLD UP (From The Mullins Enterprise) The crops around Mullins have held up remarkably well from the drought, corn and cotton especially, while tobacco is also doing well. A drive through the belt Sunday show ed that rain was bady needed. Al though staple crops in Marion and Horry counties are good' and only the early truck crops suffered to any great extent. While the growing season for potatoes is practically ov er, rains would not benefit potatoes now. One gro-wer stated yesterday that his potato crop w^s cut fully in half, and that the fertilizer he used had never been wet. Strawberry crop, likewise, suffered serious damage from the dry weather. SPRINGS SAYS NATION MUST “WAKE UP” Rock Hill, June 9.— Brigadier Gen- i eral Holmes B. Springs, state selec- | live service director, told the junior chamber of commerce today that “We’d better wake up and keep Am- | erica for Americans before some other nation steps in and takes con trol.” . | “If I had my way about it,” I Springs said, “every man who for any reason strikes in a defense in dustry would go to a detention camp, go back to work or get into the army.” He criticized' the literacy elegibil- ity rule for service men and said “it’s unfair discrimination to take the best for the army and leave out of it those who haven’t been to school. It’s unfair to those who do have to go.” One out of every three who take the army tests are rejected, he said, because of their eyes, teeth or social diseases. Springs praised the churches for what he called the high moral, spiritual tone found in selectees. He predicted that $80,000,000 would be spent- during the two months of the army’s fall maneuvers in sixteen Carolina counties and urged farmers to grow extra supplies of vegetables and live produce for sale and private consumption. “PRISONS ALREADY CROWDED" (From The Anderson Independent) We hear with sorrow that people are spending their money fast “so the government won’t get it”. Pris ons are already crowded. RAMSEY-NICHOLS Mrs. Maude Ramsey announces the engagement of her daughter, Doris Winona, to Ray James Nichols. The wedding will take place in July. Miss Ramsey is a granddaughter of Tom B. Kibler of West End. he Office Supplies . / Many Items for the Office Can Be Had At The / SUN OFFICE DROUGHT HINTS GIVEN Three Suggestions Made to Farmers of State Qemson, June 8.—Director D. W. Watkins of the extension service calls attention to suggestions which farm people might well adopt as aids in counteracting the effects if the drought. Three such suggestions have to do with food and feed needed on the farm. 1. That on a great number of farms small areas of land can be irrigated by diverting small streams and thereby provide a place on which to grow acreages of garden and other foodstuffs for the summer and fall use despite drought condi tions. This may mean changing the location of the gardens but the soon er this is done, the greater wil b.i the assurance of having summer and fall gardens. There are literally tens of thousands of small spots from one- tenth to an acre up where irrigation is entirely feasilble at small cost. In quiries for detailed suggestions may be addressed to the extension service, Clemson, S. C. 2. That where there is insuffi cient moisture in the soil seeds of certain garden plants such as to matoes might well be planted now in bedsor in boxes which can be water ed so that plants will be ready to set out immediately after the end of the drought. 3. That where combines have been used in harvesting small gram the straw might be raked up and stacked for winter use as a roughage in feeding cattle. FILLING STATION ACTIVITY Strother Paysinger is doing exten sive paving around his City Service Station; George Hipp will erect a new station. Mils Esso station is be ing remodeled and the Gulf Station of Ellisor Adams is said to be slat ed for improvement. MRS.

Boozer, of West Columbia and 10 grandchildren. Funeral serives were Tuesday af ternoon at 4 o’clock at Horeb church with the Rev. Albert Stimmerman in charge.

Fleming, wage- hour administrator, has announced a minimum wage of 37 1-2 cents an hour, effective June 30, and covering 300,000 workers in the textile indus try. Since October, 1939, the minimum wage has been 32 1-J cents with 40- hour week. As prices of necessities have ris en, it is a good thing if the workers receive more pay. It will put more money in circulation, and thus help business and agriculture, if the in dustry can stand the additional ex pense of operation. As to that we do not know. It must be remembered that so long as the wars now raging continue there is strong probability that all the cotton goods we can man ufacture will be needed. Anyway, it is good as long as it lasts. In the final analysis, however, it all depends upon the law of supply and demand. If the demand falls off, production will of necessity slump. Government nor any other agency, in our opinion, can change a natural law. High tariffs, restricted produc tion and lack of demand for finished products can and will knock the bot tom out of wages when the impossible is attempted. Let us not be too quick to bawl and condemn this raise in wages. If industry can stand it, it will be fine. If it cannot , wages will slump. No body can deny this, not, successfully, at least. —Union Times. RECALLS ELLIOTT SPRINGS Charlotte, C. N., June 9.—Capt. Elliott White Springs of Fprt Mill, S.

H. Jackson’s farms near Clio. Plans are underway to use these artichokes in the manufacture of various food products. “The state department of agricul ture is interested in-the development of new crops and industries in South Carolina,” said Commissioner of Ag- ricuture J. Roy Jones, “and a member of our staff has visited this Marlboro county farmer.” Mr. Jackson is working with New York interests and is enthusiastic over his plans. The state planning board first called the attention to the dopajrtme-it of agriculture to tihia project and later the New York Inter est wrote to. the department about what they had planned. The artichoke useij is called Ameri can Artichoke and is said to be an improved Mammoth French Jerusa lem Artichoke. Mr. Jackson says he can reairmably expect yields of about four tons to the acre and to get fif teen dollars a ton for the tubers sold in bulk. However, he is now preparing a buiding on his farm to manufacture condiments, relishes and pickles from most of his crop. Those interested in the promotion of the industry in this state say many food products' are being made from artichokes. Mr. Jackson has in his house samples of such things as artichokes bread sticks, noodles, spaghetti, ravioli, syrup, flour, sugar, puree, relishes and pickles. Mr. Jackson says he expects to be gin making his pickles and relishes before his crop is matured; from ar tichoke stocks grown in other sec tions and later to use his South Car olina grown tubers. “We will watch this new enter prise with interest,” Mr. Jones said, “and with the hope that a good neiv industry has been started by another enterprising South Carolina farmer.” LITTLE MOMENTS IN BIG LIVES Kessler \hilurpULoqd. vmo /s> KAJOVA) oa) tup 4JQ 4P ‘PstvRiRtdEG"oq 'UncleAdp Alvave Accompanied Pip (jRAWFATHEie ON TVE BEGULAG SVTl/GQAy PllGR/MAGE ~7b TDUJAJ &MEAJ S/E AMS'4 &>y /A £asWOQ7V.
