We would feel the same BH way toward any one of the candiH dates who took part in the contest from this county, had another been chosen,but of course only one could be elected, according to the rules, and while The Record had no choice in the matter, (if it did it could not exercise it) we feel that the selection fl^Lmade by its readers is a most ad mi rH^able one and will certainly be a J source of gratification to all who I know Miss Harper. I The young ladies who are selected I by the various counties will have I kheir pictures printed in a beauty I ^supplement which will be distributed in almost every county in South Carolina through the leading paper in the county. The readers of each - paper will have the privilege of yoting for the young lady of the lot who they believe is the most beauti? ful, and when all the votes haye ,bc?n received by the committee in 1; charge, whoever is the choice of the " bmlots of the State will be crowned Queen.

How 1.200 Boys Added $20,000,0 to the Wealth ol Ohio. In the September American Ma azine Stanley Johnson begins a seri of articles entitled. "Youth Lea the Way," in which he will repo many new and wonderful fac about the developments in agrici ture recently made in this count by boys and girls. A suggestion a 1 ?mo< me iremeiiuuus cuiiinuuuuu mm | by the youth of America is to found in the following brief extra taken from Mr Johnson's article: "Twelve hundred boys in the sui mer of 1914 added $20,000,000 the productive wealth of the Sta of Ohio. This was their response the call for help. They were tl corn club boy.s ol the Buckeye Stat They raised tuc average yield corn per acre from 35 bushels to 8 a gain of $20,000,000 a year to tl State," says A P Sanders, preside of the Ohio Agricultural commissio "I have chosen this instance b cause it illustrates the need of hel the awakening, and the way tl people of Ohio showed their appr ciation. The business men of tl Buckeye State went deep into the pockets and sent the entire tweh hundred boys to Washington, 1 New York city, and later gave the a trip to the big Panama show San Francisco. Young Arnett Roi of Lima won the honor of being tl bov champion corn grower of Oh two years in succession, raising II bushels on an acre in 1913, and 1' bushels in 1914. But the Ohio pe pie understood that it was the enti twelve hundred boys who deserve their gratitude. "There was a real need for th help. The corn crop of Ohio diminis ed 28,000,000 bushels between 19 and 1913. That is a very giu' loss. Ohio's greater population st lives in the country?and her rur population embraces one twentie of that of the republic. "But Ohio is not alone in this ec nomie affliction; it is nation-wid And the young generation, betwee the ages of ten and eighteen, in i all-over-the-nation, splendidly-orga ized club movement, under the c rection of the United States Depar ment of Agriculture, is going 1 pull the country up and out of i dilemma." at Kingstree beginning October 1 This contest is still on and will co tinue until midnight, Saturda October 9.
