EVERY MAN TO THE WHEEL.

We heartily endrse the following
sentiment from The Cheraw Chron-
icle and ask a perusal of it by every
man, woman and child in our town.
We all love Lancaster and we could
do wonders for the place if we would
at all times be animated by the SEN
timents expressed by The Chronicle
as follows:
THE only way to build up a town
is for everyone to go hand in hand
every man to the wheel. Banish all
feelings of discord, if any: let har-
mony prevail and prosperity will fol-
low. Talk about your town, write
about it, speak about it, encourage
your men at the head of municipal af-
fairs; choke the croakers, gag the
grumblers and squelch the scolders.
Beautify the streets in every way,
patronize it's merchants, refrain from
sending outside for goods, favor homo
enterprises always, and II you can't
think OF some good word to say, keep
quiet. Be a hustler and keep it up.
"As a citizen Of this community, go
into private communion with your
self this New Year morning and take
a little inventory OF your town, in
which you are a stockholder. Bust
ness corporations are deeply en-
crossed at the beginning OF every
year in the bothersome and painstak-
ing work OF figuring up everything
on shelves and In books to strike
balance on last years business and
plan for the coming twelve months
The city or town is really a business
corporation in which you as citizens
are stockholders, so II Is time for
taking an inventory so you may be
properly informed about your com
munity and intelligently plan to i'm
prove it.
Make an inventory of the commu-
nity's resources, accomplishments
and failures OF 1913 and it's possibili-
ties and opportunities for 1914.
What has ii today II did not have
a year ago today? This may be
progress in business, public improve
ments, happiness, industry.
What are its present greatest
needs? Enumerate them.
What are its most essential needs
for 1914? Put them down and see
what you can do to promote them.
Various social organizations may
well spend a portion of their first
meeting in the New Year for such a
discussion of town advancement and
lay plans for the coming year.
"You must help this community II
you would have 1t help you; you must
take an interest in 1t and it's future
and, in starting, it Is essential that
first OF all you know your town"

What One Cow Did.

Mrs. w. p. Stogner owns a grade
Devon COW, which she commenced
milking the last week in February,
1913, and the net results of what

half gallon of buttermilk daily, Mrs.
Stogner sold milk and butter besides
amounting TO $13h UP to New Year s

The usual first Monday in January
crowd was in town yesterday and all
sorts of things were sold from sew
eral hundred acres OF land down to a

the land OFF from the court house

midst of horses and mules galore;
from the sleek twelve hundred pound
five-year-old mule that brought $500
I othe sore back plug 25 years old
that only brought $3.50. But the

SOCIAL MS

The elegant reception given by
Mrs. M. ]. Perry, complimentary to
Mrs. Leroy Springs, was one OF the
most enjoyable occasions of the sea-
son. The guests were met at the

the honor guest in the receiving line.
The hostess was unusually handsome
in an elegant white crepe gown with
pearl trimmings. Mrs. Springs was
charming in an elaborate evening
gown of pink brocade satin trimmed
with lace. Her gracious and amiable
manners are making for Mrs. Springs
hosts of friends and admirers in her
new home. The parlor was tasteful
ly decorated with crimson poinsetta
After greeting the receiving ladies
the guests were served refreshing
frappe in the hall by Mrs. j. T..
Wylie and Mrs. Frank Harper. Mrs.
]. T. Gregory invited the ladies into
the sitting room, where was served
a course with coffe. The guests
then repaired to the dining room,

dining rooms were handsomely at
tired in evening gowns. About fifty
guests partook of Mrs. Perry's hos

THOSE LAST THREE MILES.

A good Old friend who is close to the
eighty year line and who for the past
forty years or more has lived on the
old homestead, some six miles from
town, told the writer the other day
that If he had his life TO live over again
he would do at least one thing differ
ent from what he had done-buy
a farm not more than three miles from
town. Being of naturally social dis
position, our friend and the members
Of his family have found that these ad-
diional three miles have served as a
sort Of bar to keep them from enjoying
a good many privileges the town af-
fords. They have meant long drive for
the children to the town school, late
return home after evening entertain
ments, in stormy weather the staying
at home almost entirely, while the ex-
ira distance has resulted in a good deal
Of extra hauling expense. And our
friend dwelt upon the fact that these
last three miles meant a good deal
more to an elderly person, whose vital
ity was low, than to one who was
young and vigorous. The writer be-
lieves the point is we'll made and that
more should take the facts noted into
account when,choosing country home

THREE MORE PRIZE WINNERS.


The second 5000 gold prize appor-
toned to the state OF Kansas In the
Kansas City Stars boys corn growing
contest was awarded to Lester Robin
son of Decatur county, within seventy
FIVE miles of the Colorado state line.
who raised seventy-eight bushels and
thirty pounds OF corn on an acre in a
section the average annual rainfall Of
which is but twenty-five inches. The
land that produced this acre had been
in pasture, was fall plowed to a depth
Of eight inches, was Cross plowed and
narrowed In April and planted early in
May with lister. the rows being two
and half feet apart and the kernels
twelve inches apart in the row. Dur
ing the season the crop was cultivated
six times. An interesting feature In
connection with this acre Of corn is
that home grown seed was used aft
er having been given a careful germi-
nation test.
The third award of 500 in gold went
to William Boone, Jr., resident OF
Doniphan, the extreme northeast coun-
ty Of the state. who raised lot bushels
and forty pounds. The land which
produced the prize yield was rich sec
ond bottom. 1t was fall plowed and
given a coating of barnyard manure
and double disked in the spring before
plowing. The seed, which was home
grown Boone County. White, was plant
ed with a planter in rows two and q
half feet apart and the kernels twelve
inches apart In the row. One deep and
five shallow civilizations were given.
Judges OF this acre report the stand
too thick and that larger yield could
probably have been produced II the
rows had been three and q half feet
apart and the kernels from eighteen to
twenty-four inches apart In the row.
The fourth $500 gold prize in the
same contest for Oklahoma was won
by sevepteen-year-old Bsta Beaman, a
young lady living near Meeker, In Lin
coin county She succeeded In getting
a yield of ninety-five bushels and ten
pounds on type Of land pronounced
by the judges to be the best suited to
corn growing Of any in Oklahoma. The
acre was hanured, plowed eight inches
deep in April and narrowed twice.
Boone County White seed was used,
and by careful testing of seed perfect
stand was secured. The seed was
planted with a planter with furrow
openers attached. 1t was narrowed
after 1t came up and was cultivated at
intervals OF ten days thereafter with a
spring tooth cultivator to kill weeds
and maintain a dust mulch. This
young lady did all the work of tending
the corn and raised a larger yield un-
der adverse conditions than any of the
several hundred who took part in corn
growing In this and several other con-
tests.
