K - ? - HELP FOR FARMERS. Much Needed Relief Offered Liveetocl Growers oi South Carolina. !> The South Carolina Co-operativ | * Livestock Association will supply i much needed relief and assistance t the stock growers of this state. Fo the first time in history our govern ment has seen fit to come to the fi |Hl nancial assistance and aid of th ockg rowers. BH His has indeed been a lone figh F in the past, and still in the preseul f The majority of the banks do no K consider livestock good collateral F The few that do give it any consider ation at all do not extend their loan; over 50% of the value cf the live stock offered as security. Now tin governmenv has at last extended j helping hand. It cannot be oiame< for not recognizing the industry ii the past as the venture was too risky It would have had to depart from it sound business methods to have don< so. There has at last been an Ac passed that makes it possible for i livestock grower to obtain very liber al loans on his stock. Although th< War Finance Corporation, from whid this assistance can be had, does no f* recognize the individual livestocl grower, it does recognize an associa tion of growers. The South Carolina Co-operativi Livestock Association has been form ed according to the requirements o: the laws laic' down by this Act. Bj being a member of this associatioi a grower is privileged to receive 01 borrow from two-thirds to three fourths of the market value of hit livestock. The money thus obtaine< can be expanded in enlarging th< herd, fattening, breeding and orderlj marketing; and, in fact, in any waj that applies to this particular in dustry. ^ Thus the members of this asso H ciation will bring thousands upoi W thousands of dollars into the state This is going to put new life inb the veins of the industry instead o letting it smash on the breakers o: a demoralized market With the assistance offered by th< association the livestock industry should grow as it will bring abou a condition that would eliminate th< speculator and give the producer j chance to market his livestock or derly and at a time when a justifi able price can be obtained. The gi ower must do his part. Thi government has offered to meet hin half-way. If the grower grasps th< opportunity that is offered hirn, prop erty will take the place of poverty The exercise of good judgement b: the stockmen of this state will mak a landmark in its history. o Boys' Club Prise Winners.

Dennis, Teacher 1 The Soldier Bonus. ^ Why should our overseas soldier ask the government to pay them i bonus? e The American government canno ft well go too far in caring for our dis 0 abled soldiers, the sick, the cripple* r and the incapacitated. The heart o * America goes out to all these an* * demands succor and the most human* e l solicitude and care for them. i But a horizontal bonus to all sol * diers, sick or well, rich or poor, i; ~ wholly another matter. It cannot b< * justified because it is net sound, can ' not be justified because it is no * right. It not only would put a ta: s on the already overtaxed people o * the country but worse would rob ou ? soldiers of the spirit of patriotisn 1 the American people now see in them * The price of citizenship to th< 1 young man is the protection of hi: * country. Soldiering is his job. I 5 is not the job of his mother, hi: ;. father or his sister. Soldiering i: the job of the young man, and ii 1 this capacity he has play for thi * patriotism that is his birthright an< " that justifies his citizenship. - Accepting a bonus for doing hi: 1 duty, for paying the price of citizen t ship to his country through servic* c for his country, becomes him a x ,j i poony as it wouiu unvuic wuv ? * of dignity, with an appreciation o: - the fitness of things, to accept a tij " tossed to him. ^ Already the country is coming t< r realize what a horizontal bonus woul< 1 mean to the dignity and patriotism o: r its soldiers. Already the country i) " coming to realize what a calamity s it would be for the government * staggering as it is under r\ war in 2 debtedness of twenty-four billions o: r dollars, including our loans abroad f to be forced to make a bonus pay " ment of five billions of dollars. ! Already the count17 is stunned a "| the realization of the colossal meas 1 ure of its obligations, its specifi< reaching an outgo of four hundre< 3 j and fifty million dollars a year; it) f obligations in the way of a century f of soldier pensions and with the un ' told years of interest ahead of us oi 2 j our aggregate debt, in the red uctioi f of which we are scarcely making i * "dent. s j Secretary Mellon has got to fin< 1 six and one-hqlf billions of dollar " to meet maturing obligations withii the next sixteen months. This is fo: Victory Loan bonds, for War Saving e certificates and short term notes. I 1 the present holders of these govern e raent obligations are willing to taki " new issues to replace those maturing the government can mount thi r formidable hurdle with little dis 5 (turbance; if the present holders re fuse to do this where will the gov | ernment get the cash ? But if in addition Secretary Mel lor is ealled upon suddenly to dij f up enormous bonus payments, wha then ? If the bonus bill goes througl and it fixes a burden on the country . of say, five billion dollars more, thi ? fire billion dollars more will aftxwa Q to twenty-five billion dollars with in 11 terest before the last cent of it i e paid off. It is either this or aqueez I, ft out of the people in addition! , | taxes. e' fr? _ To prevent a cold take 666. 5i r Rabbits as a Protection From Mos quitoes. e, Careful observation have beei e made, in France, of the extent t< which mosquitoes >are attracted U domestic animals in preference to hu r man brings. It was proved experi . mentally that mosquitoes have < ' strong predilection for the blood o: ' rabbits, stronger titan for that of an] j other domestic animal. This discov ery has been practically applied ii many parts of France as a protectioi from mosquitoes, and particular^ s' from those that carry germs of ma laria, and similar diseases.?From th< .
