' "Good-by Broadway, Hello France," song relic of the late war, will again be sung when 250 members of the j American Legion sail August 3 from t New York for n tour of the erstwhile battle-centers of France. To 1 experience the 'grand and glorious" 1 feeling of going to Franco without ' having to worry about getting shot, ' is the dream of nearly every member of the former A. E. F. This desire to ( return to the old battle fronts is in- ( dicated by the rapidity with which the quota for the Legion's pilgrimage is 5 being filled. John G. Wicker, Jr., ] chairman of the pilgrimage arrange- [ ments committee, has opened head- J quarters at 627 West Forty-third ' street, New York, and is daily recciv- 1 ing telegrams and letters requesting 1 reservations. Representatives for the 1 trip are selected through various ' state departments of the Legion. Expenses ar0 borne by the individual * members of the party, except in f cases of local posts defraying ex- 1 penses of representatives selected by 1 them. It will require about six weeks to make the trip, including sailing 1 time. An elaborate program of events 1 in honor of the Legion pilgrimage ' has been annouoed by the French * Government. 1 A1 J. Pate, oldest deputy sheriff in r Cumberland county, North Carolina, c was shot and killed from ambush late j Friday afternoon following a raid y upon an illicit distillery four miles r from Fayettcsville.

Hayne, state health officer, when speaking of the dispatches sent out from Washington to ffie eHect that President Harding was ilarmed at reports of a threatened 'semi-famine" coupled with an epi- ^ icmic of pellajra in the cotton, proiucing states. "I warf* surprise dut the reports sent out from Washington, there is 10 plague of pellagra in South Carotun cn fn?* qc fV?!n ~ -l.-i ' ' **a tmo V1ULC IS> ilUVRM'U. [ plan at once to circularize the lliysicians of the state, asking them o give me the number of cases in heir communities in order to ascerain definitely the occurrence of pelagra. 'In 1915 there were approximately 1,000 deaths from pellagra in South Carolina. The deaths from pellagra n 1919 were 303 and in 1920 they otallcd 219. "The number of cases of pellagra eported in May, 1920, was 27 and n June of the same year 14. The lumber of deaths in May, 1920, was 10; the number of deaths in June of he same year was 29. "The number of cases of pellagra eported in May, 1921, was five; light cases were reported during 'une. The deaths for May of this 'ear numbered 28; the number of leaths in June of this year was 43." Continuing his discussion of the eports from Washington Dr. Hayne aid: 'The whole Washington report J eems an attempt to cast reflections in the South and on the conditions iuwii uere. l uon t suppose ine public t ervice is intentionally giving out in- j orrect information as to this story i >f threatened famine and pellagra pidemic, but I feel sure that further . s nvestigation will reveal no such con- : < litions as are mentioned in the dis- 1 tatches." i Dr. Hayne is sending a report on 1 onditions in this state to the pub- J ic health service headquarters in 1 Vashington.?The State. 1 1 MI HO F.N DOR F ] Miss Irene Rowe is spending a part : >f the summer in the mountains- of 1 ilorth Carolina.

C., in my district," said Representative Stevenson today, "bids fair to takc its place along with the Elberta section of Georgia, with the advantage of being from 12 to 15 hours nearer the Northern markets. Within the last week over two car loads of peaches have been received by the Washington markets from one shipper, and highly commended by the trade. When the growers acquire skill in nssortng and packing, which only can be acquired by experience, their peaches will have no superior on these me.rke. *, and when shipped in refrigerate < cars, they are received in excel lent shape here. "Some of these peaches have been received at the capitol with in the la: t few days and both senators and representatives have been high in ~ * it-. * uiv ix |iriiisu ui me incnee product, co. imenting especially on the delip' tful flavor of the peach. '.This is an industry which the re dents of this section should develop on a commercial scale, and rai. e something that has a ready market, and something for theiv money crop, other than cotton. "Among the pioneer peach growers in the McBee section are : H. R. McLe d, W. L. McCoy and W. J. Ferguson." DCES "SUPPLY AND DEMAND" SOLVE THE WHOLE PROBLEM? One of my neighbors says t"nerc is nothing wrong with our present sys;cm of marketing; that all we need :o do is to regulate the supply as to ivoid overproduction, and then the ?reat law of supply and demand will nsure us profitable prices." Of course supply and demand have i great deal to do with price3. On the nther hand, it is also true that with ;he same identical conditions of merchandising farm products should tiring us twice as great net profits is the present system of dumping farm products. Suppose the laborers of America give up their labor unions and every laborer set out to get work for himiclf on the principle of "every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost." You might have the same Identical conditions of "demand"? that is, the same number of American factories, shops, mills, mines, railways,and- steamships wanting laborers; and you might have the =ame identical number of i ..I 1-- . t-_i I luuuicrn wa!!'.i!:^ wiir* : ni-ver1 nHltSS, | with every laborer competing with every other laborer for jobs, the net profits of labor would not be half what they are today when labor is intelligently marketed through cooperative effort. In the same fashion, we may have in prospect for any given year the ?anie identical conditions of supply and demand for a crop, but if farmers persist in selling every man for iiimself, simply helplessly asking 'How much will you give?" and helplessly accepting what is offeied, then farmers' profits may not be half what they would be if farmers sold gradually, intelligently, scientifically, 111 large quanisv.es accurately gran-1 id, propertly financed, through expert selling agents. Let's remember these two facts:(l) rhe law of supply and demand has i great deal to do with prices. (2) Nevertheless, with the same gen iral conditions of supply and demand? that is, with the same quantity of cotton or tobacco in prospect in any i*iven year and the same number of factories wanting cotton or tobacco?a system of intelligently marketing the crop may double the net profits for the farmer?The Progressive Farmer.

By M133 Mary C. Haynie 1. Straw Hats. For soiled ligh (straw) use salts of lemon, oxalii acid solution or peroxide, to removi spots and to restore the natura whiteness. For light colored strav hats, removr. the spots then restor< the original color by applying a solu tion of the desired tint, made of oi paint and1 gasoline. In applying, pu it on quickly and evenly", in order t< avoid streaking. If the hat is verj badly soiled and sun burned, change the color to a darker one by apply ing a commercial hat dye, which ii obtainable in small bottles. To iron j flat straw hat to restore shape: Plac< hat on a table with a wet cloth ovei it; iron with hot iron uptil dry. 2. Velvet. This material is knowi as a pile fabric, and may be sill throughout, or a silk pile with a cot ton back. The pile becomes flat by be ing pressed down; whereupon i losses its natural beauty. Before ap plying the methods for raising thi pile the velvet must be clean. Thii may be accomplished by using th< dry-cleaning method already describ ed. Steaming velvet. To rtoise the pil< proceed as follows: Pass the velve back and forth over a steaming tei kettle, at the same time using a sof brush to loosen the pile. This applie: particularly to velvet hats. Foi steaming velvet ribbon,, place a we cloth over a very hot iron, and drav the ribbon back and forth over il with the wrong side of the velvet next to the cloth. Brushing the pil< at the same time helps to raise it. Artificial flowers. The sun anc heat soon fade the colors of flowers and consequently the hat looks shabby. The color may be restored, 01 changed, if desired, by using oi paint. Place some of the paint in a cup and add enough gasoline to bring the paint to the shade desired. With i small brush apply the solution to th< flowers and allow to dry before re placing on the hat. Water colors maj also be used to freshen the flowers. Feathers. Solid feathers, such as ostrich, aigretes, etc., can be cleaned by the dry-cleaning method, or bj wnshint* trent.lv in a ?n#nu Inilipr rinsing in a clear water and drying carefully. The color may be vestorec by dipping in a solution of oil painl and gasoline. Ribbons. Usually ribbons on a ha1 will have become so deteriorated thai it is hardly worth while to try t< renovate them. IfHhooeMMM of th< ribbon is good, it can be cleaned anc used again. First, brush it thoroughly to get out the dust; then wash it ir wnrm water and soap, or else dry clean it. Press with a moderately ho1 iron, being careful to place a clot! over the ribbon so the hot iron wil not make thc ribbon glossy. PHYSICAL EDUCATION The Chamber of Deputies of France recently passed a law requiring physical education of all children through the 15th year. Japan has had physical education cf children for 2C years. Sweden has had universa physical education for a very long time. Great Britain provides nationa co-operation with local communitie: having physical education. The United States claims to be the most progressive country in the world. Yet it is away behind these other nations in physical training. Nol over one-ienth of our school pupil: have this form of development. Re cent school surveys have shown thai more than half of the school cnildrer are below par physically. The ex perience of draft boards demonstrate that one-third of our young men are not physically fit. It seems strange that the Unitec States, which is as rich as when i1 entered the war, can not do as mud for its children as the debt-laden na tions of Europe. There are diTer onces of opinion as to whether physi cal education should be federal 01 state enterprise, but that is & m.noi point. The essential thing is to d< something to turn out a physically ef ficient race of young people. A great deal of industrial ine^ri ency is caused by poor physical con dition. The boy or girl who has a hall developed body feels perpetually tir ed. The army did not want him, be cause he could not stand the strain lie is equully a detriment to a ston or a factory. He drags through hi work in a half-hearted way. He lack the mental energy to irpprove th quality of his performance, am drag's along from year to year lookini at the clock and hoping for ouittini time. The country can not attain a higl range of well being, until it take steps to build up a new generatioi having strong bodies, able to cop with the work of life. There nr many young people in Chesterfiet county who will be condemned t failure and discouragement unles they get this kind of training in th schools. LOST?July 3, near Rock Cree church.

He is the greatest scientific farmer in South Carolina ar 1 a few years ago was awarded a :edal by the University of South C> roiitta, as having accomplished great*: good for his state along agricu! .ural lines [than any other man. He has developed the longest staple this side of Arizona, having crossed thc old time Jones Big Boll with sea island Mr. Williamson plants both corn and cotton thick in the rows of the same width, five feet four inches, the otton being left three stalks to a h Mr. Williamson has shown by - tual results what scientific fari :ig will and his farm has always ' een on a paying basis. He says when ho was offered $1.35 a pound for his cotton last year he let the spinners have it. As to present conditions, Mr Williamson says, when one goes up in an airship there is always the problem of coming down?the higher one goes the more he*will have to ccni" down. This country had ascended between 17,000 to 29,t)0 feet and the coming down was hard but inevitable. Mr. Williamson is a firm believer in the velvet bean for purposes of enriching the soil and says he plants onehalf his land in this crop. He sows them broadcast. A ton of velvet beans plowed in the soil is nearly equal to a ton of 8-3-3. He believes the boll weevil will prove to be a blessing in disguise.
