1210 Caldwell St.
IN THE MIDST of a forest there
was a shrewd mouse-trap manu
facturer who turned out a depend
able item. Son Joe worked long
hours making steel springs by
hand. Mother kept the books and
wrote the letters. Dad did the
assembly work and finishing.
There were no sales problems.
Customers already had beaten a
path to his door — and formed a
waiting line.
But there was beefing in the
line. Deliveries were slow and
service was bad. Finally one day,
in a stack of third-class mail,
Mom found an advertisement for
spring-winding machines. It was
very timely because Joe’s work
bench was the bottle neck. Nobody
else could make springs and he
was always rushed to keen up
with Dad. So Dad bought Joe a
spring-winding machine.
Prosperity TURNING out a
Acquired better trap than ever,
and a lot more, per
day, business was fine. Prosper
ity came. Dad was flush, de
clared Saturday afternoons off
and raised pay all the way
around. About the time the gen
eral good feeling was at its
height, Joe married a cute little
communistic viewpoint. Then it
was that the rodent extermination
industry started to undergo com
plete reorganization.
The little c.v. convinced Joe
that he ought to have a half in
terest in the business, and there
wasn’t much Dad could do about
it. After the 50-50 partnershin
was formed, the c.v. started tell
ing Mom off right regularly,
making quips about faked ac
counts, and gifts from buyers, to
shock the F.T.C. Mom had to
keep books with the c.v. looking
over her shoulder, eating an
apple.
Prosperity FINALLY the junior
Destroyed partner made bold to
demand a spot on the
payroll for the c.v., at Mom’s pay,
with authority to watch Mom and
keep her honest! That was the
day the spring-winding machine
broke down. Repairing it seemed
Quite useless to Dad, what with a
shop full of headaches, padded
payrolls, no profits, and all de
partments working at cross pur
poses. He’d just quit!
After Dad and Mom left, labor
costs increased and Joe missed a
few payments on his new spring
winding machine but the little c.v.
devised a solution: Raise wages
avain and boost the price of traps.
This brought an unpleasant re
action from the customers and
the waiting line melted down to a
third of its average length. Joe
sensed trouble and ran after the
customers but didn’t catch many.
Early one morning a man came
in a truck and took the spring
winding machine away, leaving
the whole crew wondering where
to look for a job. They say the
machine was offered to Dad,
cheap, but he was not interested.
By this time, old crafty Dad was
busy with research on an odor
less electronic, destined, in due
time, to put mouse-traps off the
market entirely.
Mrs. Rosa Harrison Grant, 53,
died early Friday at her home on
Milligan street.
Funeral services were held at 3
o’clock Sunday afternoon from Ep-
ting Memorial Methodist church,
by the Rev. B. H. Harvey, assisted

Hembree, the Rev. S. B. White, the
Rev. O'. H. Hatchett and the Rev.
B. B. Black. Interment was in the
Rosemont cemetery.

lived in Newberry for the past 52
years.
She is survived by her husband,
Tom B. Grant, four sons, William C.
Grant of the army, Alfred Grant of
Columbia, Frank H. Grant of the
coast guard and Thomas B. Grant,
Jr., of Newberry; one daughter, Miss
Betty Grant of Newberry; her step
father, J. M. Swindler of Augusta;

UNIFORM TRADITIONS
The braided cross on the caps of
officers originated with Marine of
ficers in the days of sailing ships
when in sea battles vessels were
grappled together and crews board
ed the enemy’s ships. Marines used
to perch in the rigging and snipe
at the enemy, and Marine officers,
fully appreciating the marksman
ship of their men, fixed crosses of
rope to their caps so that in the
melee after boarding they could be
easily distinguished from the foe.
The most important, results of
producing vegetables on the farm is
the improvement which may be ex
pected in the health and food habits
of the family—not the saving of mon
ey spent for those supplies. Medical
authorities and food specialists say
that to be healthy and strong and ac
tive one should eat plenty of fruit
and vegetables.
Do not allow tomato plant to grow
long legged. Transplant them to
other boxes or frames and give each
plant room to become stout-stemmed
and stocky. If well hardened they
may be set in the open ten days
earlier.
In setting tomato plants do not
follow the old rule of setting only
as deep as they stood in the seed
bed. This is not deep enough. A
good tomato plant is about eight
inches from the root to the top, and
about as large as a lead pencil. Set
the plants so that half the stem is
below the surface of the ground.
Plants set in this manner will have
roots enough to resist d r outh, be
sides roots will come along the
part of the stem that is under the
ground.
Early kinds of vegetables that
were planted in February and
March, such as beets, cabbage, car
rots, cauliflower, kale, lettuce, mus
tard, peas, spinach, etc., need to be
cultivated frequently and thoroughly,
and should be given a side dressing
of nitrate of soda. Scatter this be
tween the rows without getting' it
on the plants. Culivate the ground
with wheel hoe.
You can kill as many weeds and
pulverize as much crust in an hour
with a wheel hoe as you can in at
least three hours with an old-fash
ioned weeding hoe.
In order that an unbroken supply
may be had make another planting
of the vegetables planted during
March. Beets from seed may be
transplanted when they are too
thick and missing places filled or
new roots set.
Make plantings now of the following
vegetables:
Bunch beans, pole beans, lima
beans, squash, cucumber, okra and
corn.
