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.

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. BICKLEY OF CHAPIN DIES
Mrs. Charlotte Lenora Bickley, 79,
died suddeny Monday afternoon at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. Reid
Boland in Little Mountain where she
was visiting.
She is survived by two daughters,
Mrs. Boland and Mrs. J. B. Shea’y of
Chapin; one son, John Bickley of
Chapin; two brothers, John Amick
and Elige Amick, both of Chapinj one
sister, Mrs. D. D. 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. Interment followed in the
church cemetery.
TEXTILE WORKERS’ WAGES ARE
RAISED FIVE CENTS AN HOUR
General Philip B. 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.

New Industries May Develop From
Artichoke Produced By Clio Farmer
Columbia, June 8.—Tubers as big
as a man’s fist were used in planting
a seven acre crop of artichokes on C.
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.”
