Their task in camp and 01 the battlefield has been well perform ed. In the same spirit of unselfis! service these soldier boys hav recognized the fundamental need o education at home. In a few year they will be in charge of community state and national activities of ever type. The country will be safe i their hands and it is good to fin them demanding a finer and mor universal intelligence. This America Education Week ought to help u to realize the mission and th advantages of pubilc education. I the teachers and the Legionnaire joii hands for the improvement of ou schools, this improvement is bouni to come quickly. I hope to see the exercises aiv discussions of the week crystalliz the educational sentiment of ou people by insisting upon efficien schools with adequate support. Th Compulsory Attendance Law shoul be more uniformly and cavcfull enforced. The physical welfaro o pupils and teachers should be botte safeguarded. Careful, competent, con cientious, Christian teachers shoul be put in every classroom and shoul be paid a living wage. The cours of study should be enriched and carri ed so as better to meet the manifoli needs of childhood. A minimur term of seven months for the countr; schools should be provided. lh State is able to supply the money and her children should be offerei nothing less. The campaign agains illiteracy should proceed vigorously too long already these neglected am forgotten men and women have beei overlooked in their darkness am loneliness. The light agains ignor ance is hard and will be long draw: out. But the believers in educatioi should never stop until every chih in South Carolina has been given i fair chance to secure a thorough higl school education. J. E.

Money talks and the funds spen during the last year by the Soutl Carolina Tuberculosiis associatioi tell of the effort to do a bit? worl with limited money. The association is voluntary organi zation supported by the sale o Christmas seals, bonds and a fev memberships. It has no appropria tion from legislature and is not sup ported by the state board of health although working in cooperation witl it. The South Crolina organizatior is affiliated with the jNuiionai Tu'uci culosis association, to which 5 pel cent of the funds derived from sea sales are returned each year. Th< national organization gives consulting services, national legislation, research work and sets the standard for th< state. The preventive and educatlonu idea is carried out in all the worl of the South Carolina Tuberculosa association. Its main work is to organ ize health clubs, to establish fre< clinics for expert examination ant early diagnosis, and in getting edu cational matter before the public. Less than one half the returns ol the Christmas seal sale are spent bj the state headquarters, from 50 pei cent to 75 per cent being spen by local county committees. Alto (Tether 95 per cent is spent in Soutl Carolina, and 5 per cent returnet to the national. Last year the seal sale throughout the state was financed, the secrq tary's salary and the salary of a pan time stenographer paid, clinic sup furnished and paid for, also printing and distribution of literature, exhib its financed and the expenses of t the medical association paid. Th< state organization also paid part sal arie8 of the public health nurses ir five counties and the salaried of twc trained social workers for foui months. These workers conductec free clinics in Oconee, Pickins, Horry Ed(?field and Colleton counties. Anderson, Richland, Greenvilh and Charleston counties employee paid secretaries. In Sumter countj funds were used in the county sanitorium; in Florence for the reliel and support of patients in sanitariums at home. York and Spartanburp eminties hanked their funds to be used this year to secure a paid worker. Greenwood supported a nurse for the full year. Money raised by the Christmas seal sale this December will be spent next year in establishing more free clinics, employing mote workers to locate the thousands of undiscovered ,1 cases and get U&m under treatment, 1 to make possible early diagnosis, and ^ to carry on the general educational r and preventive program through the schools and press. f 1 JUDGE PEURIFOY MAY LEAVE BENCH 5 i Walterboro, Nov. 30.?The rumor has gained credence in Walter_ boro that Judge James E. Peurifoy of the Fourteenth judicial circuit has! decided to tender his resignation as judge to become effective at the beginning of the new year. Much in^ terest has been manifested in this J reported resignation and as to the e probable successor to Judge Peurie foy, who will be elected when the legislature meets in January. The resignation of Judire Peurifov 11 will come, it is understood, as a re suit of the trying work he has been doing since he was elected judge six ^ years ago when the new Fourteenth judicial circuit was created. He is udvised by his physicians that the ^ confinement and hard work are tclls ing on his health and that it would r, be better for him to get more outy door life and freedom from the many n worries of judicial life. Aside from d this, Judge Peurifoy has large prope erty interests in the county and ho n wishes to be able to give these more s of his personal attention. e rnTTnw Accnn ATIAM I *v" wvi?iiv11 II r Columbia, Dec. 4.?L.

Dairy producers' organiza, tions from the Atlantic to the Pacific, H j orange growers from the west to the . east, vegetable and melon growers' ' organizations from every district in the country, the producers of California dried fruits, the cooperative association will be represented. * More than $1,000,000,000 worth of farm products, it is estimated, will t be marketed by cooperative associn ations this year. Among these proi ducts are cotton, tobacco, alfalfa, < wheat, peanuts, uiilk, eggs, fruits, maple sugar, raisons, prunes, rice, to matoes, livestock and others. f The South Carolina delegates will v be able to report tremendous growth - of the cooperative marketing idea in - this state.

Over 2 2,000 members have been added since 1 that time, giving it a membership to. day of over 1 1,000. Many of these members have been added since the opening of the cotton season and j were secured as result of very genr eral satisfaction with the operations t of the association. i Too many farmers want a "hardy" ] dairy cow, meaning one that will stand neglect, exposure, abuse, poor I feeding, and still produce well.

Good breeding stock, proper mating, and careful feeding of the brood sows are all important, but a point in hog raising that should receive more attention, because it is often neglected, is the necessity of keeping the young pigs growing continuously from the moment of birth to maturity. . Even before the pigs are weaned thev should have nrresn *n nnm self-feeders as a supplement to the sow's milk. As soon as they are1 weaned the pigs should be kept oh' full feed, either by self-feeder or by hand. Approved types of selffeeders, hayracks, troughs, and watering fountains are shown in the exhibit. Proper feeds and exercise furnished to vigorious pigs of proper type result in hogs of market weight" at about 8 months of age. "The profitable pig is the one that never stops growing" from farrowing to market" is a good slogan for ( every hog raiser. The old story of casting pearls be- j fore swine has a parallel in feeding good corn to scrub hogs. ILLITERACY REDUCED IN SOUTH CRAOLINA In an interesting bulletin issued by J. E. Swearingen, state superintendant of education, to instructors over South Carolina, last week, the following observation is made. "The United States census of 1920 shows that South Carolina led the 48 states in its percentage reduction of illiteracy in the population ten years of age and over, in its percentage improvement of school attendance in the population between five and 18 years of age, and in its percentage gain of school attendence of children between seven and 13 years of age. These three significent accomplishments are all the more noteworthy' because of our dual population and our dual system of schools. "This progress can and ought to be accelerated. A solid foundation has been laid for further rapid developments. In spite of hard times, the work of the schools cannot be abridged or curtailed with wisdom or safety. Public education in all its forms is today the greatest need of South Carolina. Our common schools, high schools, dnd colleges are full. Our boys and girls are our greatest joy and our greatest asset. They are worthy of the best jinrl wo pnnnnf nffnr/1 fn fivo less." PRUNING MUSCADINE GRAPES Clemson College, Dec.?5. The Scuppernong and other varieties of the muscadine type of grapes should be pruned during early December. If the pruning is delayed until winter, the vines will bleed badly and serious injury will result. if the pruning is done every year, the vines will be kept in good condition and a heavy crop of fruit produced annually. If the pruning is neglected a good crop can not be expected. x tie vuuiajf b^Cnts CUT. giVC "'"'J detailed instructions as to how this work should l>e done. ^ GREEN FEED FOR LAYING HENS Clemson College, Dec.5.The hen likes to have a sufficient amount of green succulence during the winter months. It is essential for egg production. Green feed acts as a tonic and also as a laxative, keeping the birds in the best of condition. IIow are we going to supply this essential form of feed during the winter months? One of the most satisfactory methods is in the form of sprouted oats, says N. R. Mehrhof, Extension Poultry Specialist who says that, other good forms of green feed are kale, rape, mangel beets, The irreen feed i? o-enerallv f<-d during the middle of the day and is best fed in open hoppers so that the floors wili not become soiled and damped. r ir , LEAVin & PORTER FUNERAL DIRECTORS Those who employ us have the assurance that they will receive the highest degree of service and satisfaction.

SATANK SHOWS HOW A KIOWA CHIEF CAN DIE iCVJ OW I will show you how a chief can diel" shouted Satank of the Klow&s to the soldiers as he tore off the shackles in which they were leading him awuy to prison. "I call upon Those-Above to witness that I die like a man unufruld. But I do not go alone. I lake with me one of these white men upon the Long TralL" He drew a knife which he had concealed upon his person and plunged the blade into the side of one of his guards. The next moment he fell to lha critrwonfl- .I/IJI/.J ...IIk V...11 i %?v QiVUUU I 1UU1CU mill UUHOIB. A" he fell he was singing his deuth song. He gave one Inst defiant warwhoop, then died. Satgnk (Set-angya?Sitting Bear), who was both a chief and medicine man, was the leader of the Ka-ltsenko or "Real Dogs," the highest military order In the tribe. This was a select body of ten of the bravest warriors who were pledged to lend every desperate charge and to keep their place In the forefront of battle until they won victory or death. Once In a fight with the Pawnees, Set-angya engaged an enemy snd'was about to stab him with a lance when his foot slipped on the snow. The Kiowa chief fell and the Puwnee sent an arrow through Satnnk's upper lip. This wound left a - lifelong scar, although It was not euslly seen, for Satank wnpo n mnofn r?V?o o eurn tMr* o among the Indians. This Incident showed the importance of Satank In his tribe, for the calendar history of the Klowas, a plctogruphlc record of their great deeds, gives It ns the leading event of 1840-47 and that year is known ns "the winter when they shot the mustache." In 1870 Sntank's son was killed while raiding In Texas. The old chief went down into that state, gathered tlie Ubnes in a bundle and brought them back. Ever afterward he carried them about with him on a special horse, kept them on a special platform erected id his tepeo and gave fensts In honor of his son. "My son is not dead; he 1b sleeping," he would explain to tho old men *who gathered about the fire with him.' The next year, in company with Sntanta and Rig Tree, the Sitting Bear led a war party Into Texas, attacked a wugun irmn uuu kiui'u bcvuii wnue men. When he returned "to Fort Sill he boasted of the deed to General Sherman, who was visiting there. Sherman ordered the arrest of the three chiefs. On May 28, 1871, when the military started to tuke Satank to Texas for trial as a murderer, he showed them "how a chief can die." Over 4,000 cars of peaches a week were shipped about the middle of September, 1922, from all producing sections, according to reports of the United States Department of Agriculture. Southern bankers are showing high appreciation of the need of helping farmers to market their products more efficiently. They realize that the farmer's business is everybody's business.

K C. i f ? i I "HOG KILLING TIME" ? - " Clomson College, Dec.5, Along with the first cold spell comes thoughts of butchering time.i Nine , important steps . in killling hogs | which make the work easier and produce bettter pork are suggested , by D. T.-Herrman, Extension Swine i Specialist. I 1. Select only those hogs which ( are in good health and are gaining . in flesh. Hogs which are losing { flesh make poor meat. The weight and | conditions at which to kill depends on wheather you prefer large or smalj cut of pork and whether you want a fat or a lean carcass. Most farmers kill heavy fat hogs, but the pack ers put a prentium on hogs in medium flesh weighing around 200 to 225 pounds. 2. Keep the hogs off feed for at least 24 hours before killing and keep them tjuiet but provide them with all the water they will drink. This clears the system of food, facilitates bleeding, and lessens some . danger in cleaning. Hogs that are excited before killing dress out a dark red carcass, and if they are whipped or bruised in any way, the bruised spots must be trimmed out. 3. In sticking avoid sticking the shoulder, for this- causes the blood to clot and means a waste in- trimming. Place the hog flat on his back, make a longitudinal incision in the neck, insert the knife 3 or 4 inches, with the cuttimr edne to ward the breast bone, raise the i point of the knife up against the breast bone and withdraw. Then* lay the hog on his side to bleed out. Do not drag the carcass over the ground, as this bruises the meat. 4. Scald 1V* to 2 minutes with water 145 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Water hotter than this makes the hair set if the hog is left in water more than one minute. Water much cooler thnn this requires too much soaking to loosen the hair. If you have no thermometer, stick your finger into the water thice times in rapid succession. If the t third time is a little to hot for com- , fort the water is right. Hemove the hair from he legs, ears and head first as these cool most! * * *-- - * apiui;. -v iciispuoiu ui oi iye or a small shovelful of wood ashes to t oO gallons of water will help loosen the scurf with the scraper, because all hair that is shaved off will stand out when the pork is cured. 5. In removing the intestines use the left hand inserted between the intestines and the meat to guide the knife and keep the intestines from being cut. 6. Wash the carcass throughly both inside and out. 7. Either remove the leaf fat entirely or loosen it and allow it to hang by the upper end. This facilitates cooling. 8. Split the carcass down the middle of the backdone?not on either side as is often done, for this is a neeedless waste?and on down through the head. In the South it is a common practice to cut th,e j (Tanks away from the hums, but in doing this care must be taken not to cut into the ham. These pratices hasten thorough cooling. 9. Never cut up the carcass until I it has had time to cool thoroughly.
