IDENTIFY been misled by some of the
newspaper stories about the new or
der of things" into believing that the
senator's and representatives from the
southern States are potent in post
masterial matters. Senator Smith
and Representative Johnson have
both received kilograms from various
ones in Sartanburg requesting that
they hold up the naming of man
as postmaster at Spartanburg to sue
ceed the late Col. Poiner until "all
applicants" or "other" applicants
have been heard from. Alas, little
does Senator Smith or Representative
Johnson have to do with such mat
ters.
There is one Hitchcock, you know,
who has been installed as tine politi-
cal secretary pie dispenser and dele
gate getter for the administration.
He is the man one has to see, and
don't let anybody be deceived, for he
has not yet been convinced that
Democratic postmasters are of any
great service in sending the right
kind of delegates to the next nation
al Republican convention. Likewise,
not having in his experience found
Democratic congressman of any great
assistance in the carrying out of poll
tical scheme of the administration,
he has not been accustomed to take
the advice Of congressman from the
South.

Good Fowls Lay Twice as Many Eggs

general purpose fowl are unexcell-

scrub chickens. They won't lay
Christmas eggs. Why 1 used to raise
scrubs and had to save eggs some
times two months to have enough for
Christmas, and now 1 never think of
such thing. get enough in two or
three days and don't keep as many
hens as used to. 1 find they will
lay twice as many eggs as scrubs, and
scrubs are continually getting sick
and dying. On the other hand, 1 have

While this Is one good way for a
woman on the farm to make money.

chickens must be good. 1t is much
more encouraging to have good
chickens than sorry ones. to say moth

people say any old hen will lay and

but one way for them to be con-

ems or hogs and feed them right
along with their scrubs and they will
never regret what the superior stock

One can make as much money off
chickens for the capital invested rs
he can off anything else. You can

they will begin to make you some
thing In a few days. Select some
breed that you like. write to the ad-

I can stay to milk the second.
