They did well ana deserved all the praise that they received. Everyone enjoyed the violin solo given by Mr. W. V. Jerman. Mr. Whittle, principal of Bethune school, delivered the graduating eddress and it is doubtful if the people of the community have ever listened to a more interesting and instructive address than the one he gave on "Education."

( The Federal Farm Loan Board has , announced that no loans will be made ^ by the Land Banks to any farmer, however much collateral he may have, j unless he raises his food stuffs on his own farm. This is a very important announcement, and the farmers who intend to make application to the Federal Farm Loan Bank for long- 1 time loans at a 5 per cent rate of interest had better take the precau \ tion of raising all foodstuffs at home J this year, as this requirement will be r necessary in order to obtain a loan I j from the Farm Loan Hank. Aside ; from this, however, it is very impor- s ' tant that this year every farmer grow s his own foodstuffs. The world has * never known foodstuffs to sell for the record prices they are now bringing, " ; and the outlook so far for the year ! 1917 is very gloomy for the wheat and oat crops. It is predicted that 1 corn next winter will be even higher ' than it is now. Three-fourths of the 1 civilized world is already at war and ^ 1 this country will soon be a partici- e par.t. The whole world is consuming * foodstuffs and we are the only J country left to feed them.

Dairying is a desirable business in South Carolina at the present time for the following reasons: (a) Because of the many cheap and wholesome foods which the dairy cow furnishes. Every farmer can and should have the following dairy products on his table; butter, cream, buttermilk, ice cream, skimmilk, whipped cream, and cream cheese. Besides, dairy products may be used | in the preparation of innumerable dishes which should appear on the farmer's table. A quart of milk is equal to three-fourths of a pound of steak to eight eggs, in food value. (b) Dairying bring a constant cash income and thus tends to eliminate the credit system. (c) Dairying provides constant and profitable work for every day in the year. (d) Dairying farming builds up (he farm. The nnvcrfv of tli>. aoil in this state indicates that it is certainly time for South Caol in fanners to begin practicing diversified farming in which Dairying has a place. (e) Dairying makes diversified farming more profitable. When the farm products are fed to the dairy cow instead of being sold directly from the farm, tfle farmer gets a profit in growing the crop and another profit in feeding it and saving the manure. (f) Dairying will help South Carolina farmers to meet the boll weevil by making it possible to grow other crops than cotton, and market them through dairy cows at a profit, and by making the farmers independent of the one crop system.

HER SERVANT PROBLEM WAS ESILY SOLVED SINCE THEN SHE SAYS SHE HAS FELT BETTER THAN IN YEARS. 4T AM SO THANKFUL" Went Right After Causes Of Her Troubles And Results Were Pleasing. "Tanlac relieved my stomach trouble, those choking spells and the other painful symtoms I had in a few days, and 1 have not suffered with these ailments since," said Mrs. J. F. Burgess, of Belton, on February 24th, while praising Tanlac in a public statement. "I had been a sufferer for a long time from indigestion. I had severe choking spells and it seemed that there was a lump in my throat as big as a hickory nut, and it was impossible for me to eat without hurting afterwards and I had no appetite, either. "My nerves were bad, ami I wa-" troubled a lot with sleeplessness I'art of the time I was so weak I coulel not do my housework, and shortness of breath was another ailment thai caused untold discomfort. "I had heard so much about Tanlac, and my condition, it seemed, would not improve, so I decided to give Tan lac a chance to better it, and Tanlac did all right. It relieved tnc nervousness, and I never have nervous spells now. I was freed of the indigestion, too, for which 1 am so thankful, and I soon was strong and able to do my work. Those choking spells were ended. In fact, I am in good heulth and have been since a few days after I started taking Tanlac, though I quit taking Tanlac six months ago. I had been in bad health about two years before I started taking Tanlac, but about a yeat ago I became so much worse that 1 had to have a servant do my housework. got me in good shape, and I feel bfctter now than I have for seven or eight years."
