Without intending: it, the German papers by their caustic criticism, give the President more honor than do some of our own papers. The German animus against Wilson is because he prepared for war, when German aggression left no other way out. That readers of the Advertiser may fully understand the great honor that has been done Woodrow Wlson by the award of this prize of J40.000.00, this explanation of the award is made. Alfred Nobel,a Sweedieh statesman and chemist left his fortune of over nine million dollars to found a prize fund to be awarded men who achieved great results in various lines of endeavor. The award was made to President Wilson for his effort in behalf of universal peace through the League of Nations. Although this great measure has not fully materialized, the effort of Mr. Wilson to bring it to pass caused the committee to make the award. If> is a singular fact that this learn thee live amongst before?" replied the Quaker. A warm smile spread over the newcomer's face. "Friend," he answered, "they were the best folks in the world. They were always friendly, kind and lovable, and I hated to leave them!" The old Quaker beamed. "Welcome, neighbor," he said, "be of good cheer, for thee will find the same fine people here!"?Type Metal. There was a time-when money talked. it can't even raise a whisper now.

He later invented smokeless powder. As his immense fortune was acquired in manufacturing these products as well as cannon and other warlike essentials he made atonement by leaving his fortune to be used in the advancement of the arts of peace. He spelled his name Nobel but he was entitled to spell it Noble. "NAMES IS NAMES" The recent great war was not funny by any means, but there were many names in the vast army that are at least, peculiar if not mirth provoking. One of the longest names this far reported is that of Harry Adolph Thomas Richard Eugene Bullock. And here are some names not so long but very queer: O. Mih Gosh, Asad Experience Wilson, Velvet Couch, Will Swindle, Owen Money, Great Britain Turner, Dinner Bell, Page Lloyd George Parliament, Willie Darlington, E. Pluribus Brown, Wash Day, Slaughter Buggs Green Berry Bush, Little Kittie Karr Isaac Did-not Butcher and Brass< Mule. AS A MAN THINKETH Things and conditions- are largely the reflection of our mental view point. To one person a dandelion is a tiny sun radiating a glorious golden glow to another it is a common weed not worth noticing. An old story illustrates the point A man who had just moved into t small Pennsylvania town fell into con versation with an old Quaker who was accustomed to sit on a bench in the quiet square in the center of the village. "What kind of people live here?" asked the newcomer. "What manner of people didst the< live amongst before?" returned tht Quaker. "Oh, they were mean, narrow, bus picious, and very unfair," answerec the man. "Then," said the Quaker, "I air sorry, but thee will find the sam< manner of people here." Not long afterward, the old Quakei was accosted by another man who had come to live in the town. "What sort of people are they here?" said the stranger.

The necessity for ^ such a garden was never more im- ^ portant than now. Resolve to live at s home during 1921. The following t pointers will help, says C. J. Hayden, J associate protessor of horticulture. 1. Purchase an amply supply of * seed now from a good seed house. ^ 2. Have a hot-bed to start vege- r tables such as cababge, beets, onions, ' />u ill i f\ nwav ?f/? 3. Give the garden a heavy dress- c ing of yell-rotted stable manure be- c fore breaking and fertilize the growing crops liberally with commercial fertilizers. 4. Don't wait until spring to plant the entire garden. 5. Keep the garden at work. 6. Sow the "cool season" vegetables such a3 garden peas, onion sets, kale and spinach as soon as the weather is favorable. 7. Plant for a succecssion; that is make several seedings of early maturing vegetables. 8. Group the "long season" crops, such as salsify, parsnips, etc., togeth-' er. 9. Practice a rotation. 10. Keep up your enthusiasm. PEPTO-MANGAN WILL ( HELP FIGHT COLDS MAKE UP YOUR MIND TO KEEP FREE FROM COLDS.

Most of us ( tro around all summer in the intense 1 heat burning up energy, working hard ' all day and sometimes lying awake: I at nights sleepless in the heat. Winter conies along. It catches 1 many people totally unprepared phy sically. Few of us take stock of our health. Whether we will be well, heal- ; thy and strong, we often leave too , much to chance. But not everybody. Nowadays peo1 pie are learning. They know this mat1 ter of enjoying good health is a thing they can help control. If you live 1 right, eat right, get plenty of sleep, breathe fresh air and keep your blood ' in good condition, you will be all " right. It is so simple.

"I would that every tempted woman might repeat these words every day as she looks at herself in the mir- . ror. "I would that every man and woman ' Who is face to face with the gaunt wolf of poverty might speak to the hp?st: in thpao Krovo i "I would that every soul in despair who feels the clouds of failure settling down upon him would utter these mighty syllables as an incantation to disperse the gloom and bring the sun back. "If I could write these verses on ? the walls of every mind that eontemplates suicide I would do more good than if I gave the gold of a benevolent Croesus. "If I could breathe this poem Into the hearts of all those who contemplate the despcation of crime I would be the greatest of all benefactors. "Would that I had a Gabriel's horn whose tones would reach the whole army of the defeated, the sad, the morbid, the wretched and afraid. I would summon them again to the firing line of effort, to the heroic attack of life upon the dreaded forces of surrender and death. "Learn this poem. Store it in your heart. Say it to yourself. And it will mean more to you than all the money in all the banks of the world."? "Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. "In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludg< onings of chance My head is bloody but unbowed. "Beyond the place of wrath and tears Looms but the horror of the shade-. And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid. "It matters not how straight the gate How charged with punishment the scroll. I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul." There is no cowardice in compromise. The constitution of the United States is a monumental compromise. He who is willing to compromise his differences should get along in the world. WHY PRUNE FRUIT TREES Clemson College, January 6.?Ten reasons for pruning fruit trees are given by the Extension Service horticulturists in their "Orchard Week" work. The season for prunng is at hand, and those who would reap the benefits of pruning should give this important matter attention now. Ad vice and assistance may be had from the county agents. 1. To modify the vigor of the tree. 2. To keep the tree shapely and within bounds. 3. To make the tree more stocky. 4. To open the tree top to admit air and sunshine. 5. To reduce the struggle for existence in the tree top. 6. To remove dead or interfering branches. 7. To aid in stimulating the development of fruit buds. 8. To thin the fruit. 9. To make thorough spraying possible. 10. To facilitate the harvesting ofl the fruit SUMMONS State of South Carolina, County of Chesterfield. In Common Pleas Jamie Cannon, by his Guardian ad Liten, F.

Indeed that is the best place for it, if the farmer can afford to take tne risk of further declines, and always subject to the obligation which rests upon the farmer as well as every one else, to pay his current debts with reasonable promptness. The whole business structure rests upon the expectation that men will do as they agree, and that the flow of payments in trade will be kept moving. Anything like a general suspension of the payments which-Tall due in the regular course of business, compelling merchants and others to default upon their obligations, wouldf make the whole situation so much worse that the farmers along with other people would be worse off because of it. Nobody is justified in refusing to meet his obligations when they are due because it will cause him inconvenience or require a sacrifice, for his doing so is likely to hold up a string of payments and cause inconvenience and sacrifice to many people. Everybody should do his part to maintain conditions as near normal as possible. A farmers' conference in Washington last week resolved in favor of selling to meet the regular demands for con sumption, and this is putting it very well.?From n letter by Nationul City Bank of New York. WHAT TO DO THIS YEAR 1. Plan to grow practicaly all food and feed needed on the farm. 2. We should keep at least enough good livestock to consume the roughage that usually goes to waste, to provide a full year's work for men and horse?, to furnish milk and buter, to provide pork and pork products, and to supply poultry and poultry products for home use. 3. We should keep at l^jist one brood mare on the farm to do the light work and to raise the necessary colts to furnish horse power. This will save the money paid out for mules and horses, but the greatest profit wil come from securing in this way sufficient horse power for the most economical production of crops. 4. Only the most prolific seed of all kinds should be planted. 5. A systematic rotation of crops should be practiced and a leguminous crop should be grown on every acre of land every year. 6. Liberal applications of acid phosphate should be made on all sols deficient in phosphorous and lime should be applied to soils needing lime. 7. Labor-saving farm implements and machnery of all knds should be used for the most economical production of crops.?The Progressive Farmer.
