MY DIRTY FACE
Most papers use a thumbnail
picture of me along with the col-
ums. They have used that cut
for a long time. It is all smear
ed and caked up in some cases.
And that makes my face look aw
ful dirty.
Spring Is' coming, and that’s a
time to clean up a bit. I hope
the papers will all run their
cleaning brush over my face a
few times by then. Or do you
wash those cuts in gasoline or
something to clean 'em?

NEWBERRY RESTOCKING
QUAIL
The local wildlife committee is
really rebuilding its game birds
In Newberry.
; Feed comes among the first
things in such a program, accord
ing to County Agent Ezell. The
4-H club boys have planted 26,-
000 lespedeza bicolor seedlings
this winter. The soil conserva
tion district supervisors have
secured and distributed 60,000,
and the wildlife committee has
also gotten in 60,000 bicolor
plants. And the setting of this
birdfood plant has been going
on there for some winters now.
Ezell tells me that they find their
birds in the vicinity of these old
er plantings. The bicolor seed
lings are secured from the state
game department.
They started out with 60 pairs
of partridges three years ago.
The next year they increased that
to 100 pairs, which they carried
on during the past season. Eggs
from these are hatched in the
incubator there on the game war
den’s farm Where the birds are
kept. He is Herman Wise, and
his wife largely handles this part
of the bird project.
The day-old birds are furnish
ed to farmers who equip them
selves with a suitable brooder for
raising them. And then at the
proper age, they are released on
the farm. The past year 3,876
young birds were furnished to.
81 farmers.
With the grassland farming
that is already so well on its
way to Newberry, one can fore
see, from this interest, a thriving
game bird population once again
there, where they almost became
extinct a few years ago.

As we change from Jfeo much
row-crop to more grasland farm
ing, we need fewer folks on the
land. Income per acre can be
kept high. We will fill In with
machinery. And that will leave
more dollars for the folks that
are left.
This trend is all to the good.
Industries are coming fast to
every section of the state. They
are absorbing people from the
land. That #111 be felt on the
farms. And we will have to
continue to make adjustment^.
In the end, we will likely all be
better off. For the farm pie

BOX* ARE THAT WAY
I The bW . covered . wagon show
brought many wonders into our
restricted world of 1902 In the
Dutch Fork. : For the past two
weeks I’ve been telling you about
that great event. Today I want
to tell you of the crowning act.
We had seen the monkey put
his cracker in his water to soften
it, and then when it dissolved,
we saw him mix it up good and
drink the entire thing. We saw
the slight of hand man and heard
our first talking machine with
great wonder and considerable
misgivings. Blit as great aS they
were, they didn’t touch the mov
ing picture.
That was saved for the last
of the show. The men up front
were asked to get the two lan
terns down and blow them out.
They had let the fire die down on
purpose and the embers were
covered with ashes so tl\ere
would be no light In the room to
mar the picture. They lit up
something on the table there at
the back of the room. It sputter
ed and fizzed like it might ex
plode. But soon it settled down
to a steady purr.
Then, very dramatically, the
uan announced, “f-Adies and Gen
tlemen, get ready for the treat
of your lives.” And, with that,
intense light flikered on the bed
;heet that had been tacked up
at the other end of the room.
Forked figures jumped across
that field before the picture came.
Then all of a sudden there it was
a railroad leading right up to
you. And to our perfect con
sternation, away up the track we
could see a train coming right at
us! As It approached, a bit of
restlessness grew in the \room.
Everyone seemed to forget where
he was, and to feeL that he was
alone, standing there in the mid
dle of the track, with that mon
ster of fire and steam coming
’‘ight at him!
As it got closer it seemed to
come faster. Someone opened a
shutter and a half dozen folks
jumped out of thq window; Mo
thers drew their children close
to them and awaited the conse
quences. Several screamed out
and the show-man announced
there was no danger. The film
COUNTY 4-H CLUB CONDUCT
MAIL BOX NAMING CAMPAIGN
'There. ,are mdny.' mail boxes
throughout Newberry Coupty with
no name or other Identification on
them. Most people are known by
their neighbors, but it would be
of much value to others If more
of the rural people had names on
their mail boxes.
Realizing these facts the 4-H
club boys have launched a cam
paign to encourage their families
and neighbors to put names and
box numbers on their mail boxes in
neat legible letters and numerals.
Proceeds from this county wide
campaign will be used to repair
and Improve the facilities of the
two state 4-H club camps. Camp
Long is near Aiken and Camp
Bob Cooper fs near Manning.
These two camps offer a weeks
vacation to about 7.000 4-H club
members from all over the state
each- summer.
Did ybu know: That your mall
box should be 44 ipches high
(from the bottom of the box to
the top of the ground under the
box.
That according to the Manual
of Postal Regulations: “The
owner shall place his name on
the box In neat black letters,
about one Inch high on the side
of the box that is visible to the
carrier as he approaches it.’’

broke before the train quite got
there. After a ten-minute pause
to fix it. it was run again. And
when the engine finally got there
and looked like it was jumping
right out of the screen at you,
there were squeaks all dver the
place, and two men fell back
wards from the top of the wood
box where they were sitting.
Soon the lanterns were lit
again. Folks rubbed their eyes to
see if they had been dreaming,
and wondered if they hadn’t been
seeing things. Arfti the talk about
that train running and spouting
steam and smoke there on that
sheet In our schoolhouse never
ceased around there for weeks.

Yes, and that runs the price of

are right where we were, or
worse off.
Farmers produce things. They
have stuff for sale. And the
world seems to want Just about
anything we can grow. So there
should be a good reward for the
products of our soil, labor, and
capital this year. Yes, if we can
keep the costs down within rea

that it looks like all of the ele

If you could look inside that Fire
ball engine, you’d see why. Instead
of the flat-topped pistons used in
other cars, Buick uses a turbo-top
piston, like this:
So the inrushing fuel whirlwinds into a com
pressed ball that adds a super-urge to the
downstroke of the piston.
And you get the thrill and thrift —of this
Buick “first” in every mile you drive.
More, you get a tried-and-true engine that’s
So we list as a prime reason why “smart buy’s
Buick” this Fireball power plant—and a host
of happy owners will say “Amen.”
Better see your dealer soon.
