Turner JEWELER Caldwell St. Newberry We are pleased to announce that • we now have Esoterica IA mildly medicated | cream in delightful vanishing form for skin that is ... DISCOLORED ROUGHENED DARKENED or SPOTTED from weather or neglect. ESOTERICA was developed in a laboratory that has studied the effects of cosmetics on "problem" skin for 25 years and has produced more than 75 million packages of pure, fine toiletries. Prized for its lightening, bright ening effect ESOTERICA is also being used as a mild antiseptic dressing for acne (pim ples) associated with blackheads. Many use it as a powder base during treatment periods. Softens and lubricates dry skin. SMITH'S CUT RRTE DRUG STORE- FARMS AND FOLKS 100-DAY FLOWER If I spoke in pompous phrase. I'd say, before you dream of a lily or rose, plant ye a crepe myrtle. Yes, the old Hundred-Day Flower! What brightness and beauty it brings to the summer hedge and hillock! And what abuses it can stand! You set it out once and it’s forever there. It will respond to good treat ment, but neglect does not cause it to go. It is often the lone sentinel that marks where a house has been, after even the brick and other rubble are over grown with wild verdure. We settled a new place. Didn’t get one planted last winter. But hope to the coming one. How about a little resolution. Let’s resolve to do that on every place where a beautiful crape myrtle is not now growing. I like that gorgeous watermelon pink best. LIKES NEW MELON In the past few years several new disease-resistant watermel-* ons have been developed at the U. S. Vegetable Breeding Labora tory near Charleston. In co operation with that laboratory, several of the county agents have been trying them out in five-acre plantings, enough to in* sure carlot shipments. The con- go specially showed up well. And i>° past season was the first time enough seed were available for rather widespread planting. The growers liked it very much. I visited a large grower’s field in Allendale with County Agent Searson. Part of the field was planted to Congo and the rest to one of the leading established varieties. The old sort had sun burned badly, most of the vines were dead, and about half of the melons were left in the field. That day they were picking the Congos for the fourth time, vines were beautiful, and ft looked as though they would continue making for some time. We asked the man how he lik ed the Congo. He said he liked it very much, that it was making at least as many melons, and he was able to market all of them. He brought out too that it was a good shipper. County agents down there feel that It will be very widely planted next year. PLANTING BIRDS Through the game department, many of our counties have been planting lespedeza bicolor for bird feed. With cleaner farming and wide terrances that we work over, it is felt by game lovers that the lack of food is one of the chief causes of less game. So many thousands of these hi* color . shrubs are being planted along hedge rows and the edges of fields and in open woodland spots. Folks who have bicolor several years old tell me that if you have any Quail on your place, you will surely find them there in the vicinity of this planted food dur ing the winter. It holds its seed pretty well and birds can get it even if snow Is on the ground. After this and other bird feeds are planted around, then many counties are raising and plant ing quail there. In Marlboro, 60,000 bicolor plants were set last winter, 10,000 of these by 4-H club boys. And many of these quail from the Blenheim hatchery, raised them, and then turned them loose on thier farms. that means something else. Live stock. From all reports It looks as though that ‘Blanket of Green” will clothe many a new acre in this state ere the frosts of winter come. And what meaning that carries! Leaching largely stop ped, washing too, and pasturage for stock around the clock of seasons! Few spots of earth are capable of all that. WILL OAKS GO? Something they call oak wilt is killing all varieties of oak trees at places in the upper Mid west. The industries depending upon oak lumber have become alarmed, and have contributed fellowships and funds to aid re search towards a remedy I am told that It has been found as far down as northern Kentucky. Just how severe it will become, no one knows. But It looks serious. A similar scourge hit the chest nuts up East years ago. It came down the country until not a chestnut was left along the east ern range of that tree. GRASS IN PICKENS County Agent Wood tells me that you see both permanent and temporary grazing mixtures being seeded everywhere you turn in the red hils of Pickens. Far more than ever before!

PURCELLS "YOUR PRIVATE BANKER" > Phone 197 BOYS ARE THAT WAY I don’t remember ever getting cold or hot when I was a kid. We slept in an upstairs half- story that I know have been tor rid on many a summer night And the feather bed must have added to the temperature as we lay there. Yet I never even paus ed when I hit those sheets. Sleep was almost instant, and I was dead until day. At dawn my signal to get up was the scap ing of gravy from the frying pan. For I knew that in a mat ter of moments then the food would be on the table. And it took me just no time at all to bounce out, hop Into my over alls on the move, and take the steps two at a time as I head ed down to the dining room. And I don’t think I ever thought to wash my face. They always had to make me go on the back porch and do that after I reach ed the table and tried to get by without doing it. And the heat of day never bothered us either, unless they were trying to make us work. An deven then, we would soon be off to the creek, unless they had laid the law down to us mighty hard that day. Cold didn’t bother us either. Those brogan shoes with only a loose buckle at the top must have let in the cold something awful, just about like a wooden shoe. But I don’t recall my feet ever getting cold. And win ters appear to have been colder then. We often walked the branch a part of the way to school, the ice was so thick. Now that condition seldom exists. And heating was very poor. In our long one-room school there were cracks in the floor and an open fireplace in one end; at home ceilings were high and rooms were airy, and we had no form of heat in our upstairs sleeping abode. Yet childhood memories carry recollection of discomforts from neither this nor from the summer heat. I guess kids are just that way. AND WONDERED I STOOD AMAZED The most wondrous sight 1 have ever beheld was the great trees of Northern California and Southern Oregon. Those great giants are the oldest of living things. Many of those now standing were great trees when Christ was born. Geologists say the unmolested redwood forests are well over a hundred million years old. When the ice age covered most of this continent, Europe, and Asia, it did not cover that area. So the great trees survived out there, after having grown over much of the earth. Fortunately the state of Cali fornia, the Save-the-Redwoods League, and other organizations have busied themselves in sav ing a lot of the original stands of these great links with the pre historic past. And today we are privileged to visit 48,000 acres of virgin stands that will for ever remain in public trust, just as they came to us, down through the ages. So I would say, after having been privileged to travel some, see the great redwoods, if you would like to behold the greatest of the wonders that have come before my eyes. To me, earth does not hold an equal. *1“ MM ■ * JfPI —- Deposits now Insured Up to $10,000 What Factors Safeguard Bank Deposits? I. GOOD BANK MANAGEMENT.
