Speaker at Atlantic City Has Arthority in the Prophets' "I Will Advertise Thee." I ??? i "Every pastor shorld be taught Journalism, and every theological school should have a course in journalism," said Rev. J. T. Brabner Smith, chairman of the commission on publicity, Chicago Church Federation, when recently addressing the closing session of the annual conference of the Interdenominational Secretaries of Ministerial Relief and Pensions at Atlantic City, N. J. "It pays to advertise; even the prophets; declared, 'I will advertise Thee,'* con-, tinued Mr. Smith. "There should be a fund in every church to be used! for publicity purposes. The churches * * * - should Duy space in me piptia <wu announce their services and their do-; ings with the same energy as the business houses. j "There must be cooperation be-i tween the pulpit and press. Most I l editors are sensible and reasonably accessible. It is simply silly for the ministers to be always criticising the newspapers and their policies. The press is powerful. Perhaps in some cities the priss is more powerful for good and uplift than the preachers. Sometimes the editors are wrong, but the same is true of some pastors. Do not condemn the press for a few 'bad spots,' and do not try to use the papers to exploit yourself. Editors hate can't and prejudice shown against other churches. The papers are seeking news?not propaganda material. 1 "It is amazing the space given by the papers to the churches, much of which is not appreciated. Some par>ers could use more church news t9 advantage. Somehow we feel that the present wave of crime is chargeable, first, to the homes of the nation, then to the churches, and lastly to the press. "It is wrong to blame the press for i printing nasty stories, but the press is wrong in giving so much detail. The Bible is the best texbook for both editors, advertising experts and preachers. The press of America is sound at th? core, its editors are j loyal and true. There is no subsidized press, either by church or business. It is ridiculous to say that any denomination controls the press. It is untrammeled, sane and sound." tain credits which may be earned in but one way?on subscription payment secured from new or renewal subscriptions to The County Record.

Moderation and Justice in Overruling State Superintendent's Acts Shown. (Capital News Service) Educators in Washington, D. C., who are intensely interested in th. Towner-Sterling bill, which will establish a Department of Education with a secretary in the president's cabinet, point to some recent happenings in Kansas as further evidence of the need of standardization, ' -J a.- 1 L..4> ,V not oniy in eaucauunai iue?a, uuv m public school policy. Kansas possesses a state superintendent of public instruction in the person of Miss Lorraine Wooster. Miss Wooster recently had two drastic rulings she made overruled. The first case concerned a teacher in a small Kansas town who was "guilty" of permitting a dance to be held in the school house after school hours. This conduct appealed to Mis3 Wooster as so represensible that she refused a renewal of the offending teacher's certificate. Her course was not upheld by her superiors, the teacher continues to teach, and dances continue to be held in the school house. Miss Wooster objects to the use of tobacco, and recently promulgated a circular which stated, among other things, that "schools and colleges that permit the use of tobacco in any form by administrative heads, instructors, or pupils cannot remain on the accredited list. "Credits sent to the state department from normal schools, colleges, and universities where the heads of these institutions, faculty members, or students use tobacco in any form will not be accepted for certification." The attorney general for Kansas, Hon. Richard J. Hopkins, renders an opinion stating that the state superintendent has no authority to enforce such rules. The bringing of private ideas of reform into school matters has always been one of the curses of the undirected public school activities of this - " * ?a country Uapitai educators una me final action of Kansas progressive and just, but point out that under the Towner-Sterling bill there would be no opportunity for officers whose schools enjoyed the benefits of federal aid in educational work even to attempt to make their school authority the compelling force in personal ideas of morals and conduct. -O i Motor Vehicle Licenses.

Public Health Service Warns of Dancers of Insufficient Care. (Capital News Service) Dr. C. H. Lavinder, assistant surgeon general of the Public Health, Service, warns the nation of the' dangers of its 1,200 lepers now at large in 25 states. He plans to ask, Congress for funds and authority to, round up all lepers and provide suitable quarters for them. "While remarkable results are bej ing obtained in combating leprosy in I other countries, it is on the increase I here," he said. "In the tropics, not| ably in Hawaii, ^lepers are being , cured by the use of uhalmooga oil, ' one of the new discoveries. "But we have no success with itj here, due to a difference in the blood consistency in this climate and of thie race. "We have built a leprosarium at Carrville, La. It has rooms for only 200 patients, and now every available bed is occupied. "We are compelled to inform health officers who come to us that there is no room. As it is next to impossible for each city to construct its own leprosarium, the sufferers are at large, and each day some one comes in contact with them, adding to the possibilities of the disease being communicated to others." COUNTY SHORT COURSE.

The meeting of the Farm Woman's Council, conducted by its most capable president, Mrs. Fred Mishoe was held on Saturday afternoon. Inspite of a very hot day there was a large attendance and subjects discussed were well handled and the work of this council is of the greatest benefit to the entire county.

Many questions from South Carolina members of the Tobacco Growers' Association have reached headquarters, and Mr. Richard R. Patterson, general manager of the Leaf Department, one of America's fore- \ most authorities on the handling of tobacco gives the members his advice in the following article. Mr. Patterson says: "Alter your tooacco nas Deen curea the first and most important suggestion is to be sure that your tobacco is not brought to the Receiving Warehouse in bad order or damaged. Any tobacco that is damaged is practically of no use or value, as no manufacturer will buy damaged tobacco regardless of price. Any tobacco that is in soft (or high order) w01 not only lose its color and redden, but will damage in some instances before it is possible to ship it to a re-drying plant; and if such is the case, it will be a totq} loss to the members of the association, as the re-dryer is not responsible for any such tobacco damaging before it reaches his facfnrv. Yon pan readily see that it is very important that you do not let your tobacco get in soft, or in high order for the protection of yourself or the members of the association. Keep your tobacco in good condition. Use. with it every care possible and especially free from sand and dirt; for sand and dirt lower the value when you deliver it to the warehouse to be graded by our grader. We would suggest* that you tie from 12 to 16 leaves of average size in each hand (or bundle) as this Is an important factor in re-drying tobacco. If leaves are very small, it might be well to put as many as , 20 leaves to the bundle. For instance, if tobacco is tied in some large hands (or bundles), and some in small ones, youx cannot re-dry it uniformly and get good results; then, too. when the purchaser examines our tobacco he will explain that it has been badly bandied. We suggest you grade your tobacco to the best of your own judgment, asking the advice of your warehouseman in your section, but by all means avoid tying tips in your lugs and cutters. Have each pile graded'and tied as uniformly as you possibly can. We have secured the services of good judges of tobacco who have had years of experience in buying tobacco, to grade each pile of tobacco when you have delivered it to our warehouses. They will have ample time to examine carefully each pile and put it in the grade in which it belongs. Remember that this grader is employed by our association and he has your interest at heart at all times and is rendering* you the very best service possible. We "have seen in thousands of instances where a farmer who sold his tobacco on the auction sales divide a pile, half bringing in some cases very much more than the other half, and being dissatisfied with the price on the sale of the lower priced half, was forced to take in both piles, provided the same buyer bought them both. In your case, being a member of this association, you will not have to be worried with these conditions, for each grade carries a set price and the grader has nothing to do with the price, which gives you the advantage of every pile being graded to its full value. The valuations placed upon the tobacco are merely for the purpose of borrowing money for advances to the grower and are not the selling price for your tobacco. o Did You Ever Think of It? Roger W. Babson, the well known 4 ?< financial statistician, tells the tale of a dollar in the following way: "One dollar spent for a lunch, lasts five hours. One dollar spent for a necktie, lasts five weeks. One j.ii !x J - 1 x uoxiar spent ior a cap iasis uve months. One dollar spent for an automobile, last five years. One dollar ?pent for a water power or railroad grade, lasts five generations. One dollar spent in the service of God, lasts for eternity."?Saluda Standard. m Subscribe for the Record now. j j .
