faUK EIQg> FRIDAY, a^kil, au, ia43 ARE YOU LUCKY? Mr«. OUie Sligh and Mis* Margaret Harmon were the persons receiving free tickets to the Wells theatre last week. This week our first description is of a lady who lives on College street. She was seen walking to town Wed. nesday afternoon and wearing a green figured dress trimmed in green with green belt, red hat, white shoes, red and green handbag. Second description is that of a lady seen coming out of the DPW office Wednesday afternoon wearing a black dress, blue hat, black shoes, and carrying a black patent leather handbag. This lady lives on Calhoun street. If either of these descriptions fits you, come by the Sun office and get your ticket which is good for the Monday and Tuesday shows at the Wells Theatre, compliments of Wells and the Sun. UNUSUAL PICTURE AT THE WELLS THEATRE “Forever and a Day” will play at the Wells Theatre Monday and Tues day. The makers of this picture are giving the entire profits to the Nat ional Foundation for Infantile Para lysis. The actors likewise gave their talents free. Playing in the picture are 78 stars, and manager Wells says that in this picture all the stars have prominent roles. He pointed out that in most pictures loaded with “stars” were just vehicles for showing the stars off. In “Forever and a Day” the actors are really at their best in a great picture—an unforgetable picture. E. B. Purcell, chairman of the local infantile paralysis chapter, endorses the picture and urges all to see it.

It is meeting more vital war needs than any other crop. Cotton really is two crops: it is a fiber, supplying tex tile products; and it is a food, feed and chemical crop, supplying oil for the table, meal and hulls for the live stock, and linters for war products. The National Cotton Council of America has issued an interesting booklet on Cotton as America’s No. 1 War Crop. I quote extensively from it. “Peacetime thinking is still being applied to a commodity which is sec ond only to steel as the most vital material of war. Cotton, to most Americans, is syn onymous with cotton fiber. Few realize that with e ach 500-pound bale of fiber there is produced 900 pounds of cotton seed, yielding: 140 pounds of high grade vege table oil for food 400 pounds of protein meal and cake for livestock 240 pounds of hulls for live stock roughage and chemical uses , 81 pounds of linters for smoke less powder, plastics, and num erous other essential products. America’s 1943 War Crop Goals de mand increased quantities of food, feed, and fiber. Cotton is America’s only crop which produces all three. Fats and oils are an indispensable major part of the human diet. Cotton is America’s largest source of vegetable oil. Among all fats and oils, both animal and vegetable, cotton is second only Lo lard as a source of cooking fat, second to butter as a source of table fat. Virtually 100 per cent of the 1,442,- ’95,000 pounds of cottonseed oil pro- iuced in 1942 will be consumed in the form of basic food products. More than 90 per cent of all cotton seed oil is eaten as shortening, mar garine, salad oil, cooking oil, salad dressing, mayonnaise. Additina quantities are used in the preserva tion of other foods, particularly fish The 1942 cotton crop supplied enough oil to furnish every man, woman, anc -hild in the United States with 10 oounds of fod fat. Largest of all war uses for cotton linters is smokeless powder. Linters protect infantrymen and artillery po sitions by leaving no telltale target of smoke to darw and direct enemy fire. Erom the sharpshooter’s rifle to the battleship’s biggest gun, cotton lint- ?rs are used where absolute accuracy ind dependability of powder are es sential. Cotton linters serve in every branch of the Armed Forces. Despite dili gent chemical research for less criti cal substitutes, they remain the pre ferred source of cellulose for muni tions. Far from being confined largely to powder manufacture as in World War I, .cotton linters today are an integral part of war equipment which /aries from non-breakable glasses to the pyroxlin coating for raincoats, from bomber noses to synthetic yarns and fabrics. On every fighting front, wherever ultimate quality and performance ar e demanded from a chemical pro duct of cellulose, there cotton linters are called for. Cotton is supplying America’s armed forces with cloth ing, shelter and fighting equipment— supplying America’s war plants with industrial fabrics and with cotton parts for the products they manufac- ure—supplying America’s allies with fabrics and fibre through lend-lease —supplying hospitals with essential goods, war workers with clothing, food producers with bags—and still supplying 130,000,000 civilians with essential clothing requirements. From the time the selectee is induct ed he literally moves and sleeps and fights in cotton. No tank runs, no ship sails, no plane flies without cotton as a pant of its equipment or structure. More than 11,000 cotton items appear on the procurement lists of the U. S. Army Quartermaster Corps, from shorts to ski suits, from mosquito bars to heaviest tarpaulins. EVERY' U. S. Fighting Man Uses Cotton EVERY day.” Imagine a wagon or truck loaded with 1,400 lbs. of seed cotton. As you stand on Main street in St. Mat thews, and look at that cotton do you think of what the load really amounts to? Upon returning from the gin there will be a 500 lb. bale of cotton. That is cotton fiber. But, as you know, there will remain 900 lbs.' of cotton seed—something our grand- fathers threw away as being less valuable even than sawdust. What shall we do with the cottonseed to day? Crush it and take out the oil for fod, the meal and hulls for feed, and the linters for ammunition and chemical products. And how impor tant is all that? Well, 48 per cent of the total United States production of edible oils in 1942 came from the once despised cotton seed. Cotton linters are the only acceptable raw material for many of war’s essential chemical products. One bale of cot ton linters provides smokeless pow der for 100,000 rounds of rifle am munition. From linters come plas tics for warplane windows and noses high tenacity rayon; X-ray and photo graphic films; and plastic replace ments for metal. This is the great old crop of the South, greater even today than ever before. WAR BONDS?' What kind of bonds will suit you best? Here they are; Series E .

A chart recently prepared by the National Industrial Conference Board an “CASH FARM INCOME BY STATES, MARKETINGS AND GOV ERNMENT PAYMENTS, in 1942”, ihows South Carolina next to the last state. Again we shall hear ibout advertising the bad things. In his case we do not mean to adver- ise it to the world because the world will be informed of it in due .ime; what is specially desirable is hat this information come to the at tention of our own people so that :hey may see for themselves how we stand. The only State below us is Idaho. They start with Iowa at the top, California second, Texas third, Illi nois fourth, Minnesota fifth. There s vast difference however between Minnesota and South Carolina. Im- jjediately above us is Louisiana, with Florida and Alabama running neck xnd neck. In general, the Southern States don’t Show up well except Texas, North Carolina, Oklahoma and Mississippi. How Mississippi fared so well I do not know. It is worth keeping in mind that we must do something to increase the productive >wer of South Carolina so that brough the diffusion of larger in come all our people may enjoy more qf the things of life. The greatest e vent of all time will be celebrated in a few days. We nark the progress of mankind by events. When Moses delivered the law to the people of Israel he was riving one of the great charters to humanity. It was, indeed, one of the =ure foundations of society. Mili tary victories, scientific discoveries, ohilosophic speculations on the social sights of men, political revolutions,— all play their part in the onward narch of people, but though all were qual in, wealth and legal status; chough all were provided with the hings of life so that neither hunger lor cold Should afflict them, there ivould be the hollowness of life which oassed merely from birth till death. Neither wealth nor fame can satisfy the deepest longings of the spirit. The few years here always prompt us to ask “What of the longer span be yond? What is it? Where do we ?o? Do we merely become the dust of the earth? That had been asked hrough the ages. Shall we wander hrough the darkness of night and >ass into utter nothingness? Easter is the answer. The risen Lord sets at rest the speculations of philosophers and brings assurance to the groping heart. Of all events, this is the greenest. It brings hope to all. We do not dis solve into the elements and enter a state of nothingness; rather all humanity finds the way opened and •illuminated by the Great Traveller who rose on the third day and hrough ‘the greatest boon ever given to the sons of men—proof of the immorali ty of the soul. That is Easter. Now we know what He meant when He 5aid “I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE”. WELCOME CASH INCOME FROM EGGS AND POULTRY Clemson, April 26.—From all sec tions of the state news conies that farm people are finding increasing income from the sale of eggs and ooultry. The new egg-marketing plan is proving to be generally satis factory, according to extension coun ty agents’ reports. Here are a few ypieal reports regarding this wel- ■ome chicken money. Anderson, County Agent E. P. losey—“The weekly egg market has proven popular and has picked up in volume each week. During March 3, 300 dozen eggs were sold for $1,- 062,30. In the last three months 92,131 pounds of poultry were sold for $20,954.12. Darlington, County Agent O. O. Dukes^—“To date 313 cases of egg 3 have been taker, from the county by the extension truck, and the Pe e Dee Hatchery at Hartsville has purchased 180 cases, total money received being $4,658.85.” Lancaster, County .Agent T. B. Lee—“In the Tabernacle community eggs and poultry ar e being marketed through a truck route making week ly collections. During late February and March 803 dozen eggs were sold at 30 cents a dozen.” Bishopville, County Agent J. M. Lewis—“More surplus eggs have moved than at any other period in the county’s history. In March 88 cases were moved in cooperative shipments, making a total of 143 cases, or 4,290 dozen eggs, since Feb. 12.” Clumbia, County Agent David R. Hopkins—“We have had numerous requests from new poultry growers for information. Local hatcheries have had the largest demand for babj chicks in their history and are book ed for one to two months ahead. HAL’S ADLETS — WE DEEPLY REGRET that we bad to ‘urn down many, many orders for Easter corsages and Easter plants and cut flowers. Despite very heavy buying we were unable to take care of all of our customers. AT NINE O’CLOCK SATURDAY MORNING we had to discontinue taking orders for corsages. We prob ably could have taken some more but to have done so we would have had to lower our standard on those al ready booked and this we would not do—not even in an emergency. Re sult; we turned out beautiful corsag es and many voluntary compliments have come from those receiving our corsages. Complaints—NONE. LONG AGO WE DECIDED that we would reserve enough plants and cut flowers to take care of orders from soldiers who are away from here and we did. Orders came from Africa, Honolula and many other dis tant points and every one was filled 100 per cent satisfactorily. With us orders from men in the service have the green light always. MOTHER’S DAY WILL DOUBT LESS witness a sell out something like Easter. To forestall this we have spent a lot of time and money telegraphing orders for cut flowers md plants. Our suggestion: Tell us .low approximately what you desire and we will do our best to fill your orders properly. IF YOU PLAN TO SEND FLOW ERS in another city give us your Mother’s Day orders as soon as pos sible. Florists in other places are in :he same boat as we and last min- ate orders don’t have much chance, [f we write your orders to florists in other places you don’t pay anything extra for the service; if we have to telegraph you pay the cost of tele- grm. ANOTHER THING TO REMEM BER: May Day exercises at the Col lege come just two days before Mother’s Day. This will absorb a lot of flowers. MOTHER’S DAY CARDS. Lovely | ■sards, 5c and up.

VERNA & HAL KOHN War Takes 96^ Of Each Dollar Out of every $18.75 that is in vested in a War Bond, $18 goes into guns, planes, tanks, ships and other military equipment. The 75 cents goes for ordinary % governmental expenditures. Out of every dollar 96 cents goes toward the war effort and 4 cents goes for Government “business as usual.” The same ratio applies to all other securities the Government has offered investors in the Second War Loan campaign for 13 billion dollars.
