Mr.. f. l. Reardon, Secretary, Sum-
ter, S. G.
Dear Mr.. Reardon:
Enclosed am sending you a dol
lar as per your request, towards the
funds TO provide scholarships for
Sumter county young ladies to Win
throp College and Coker College.
/ think one Of the healthiest signs
OF these times is the advance in
teaching our people to be more inde-
pendent of other parts Of their coun-
try and how to make the most of what
they have already have. 1 think the
Tomato Clubs and similar organiza-
tions are doing fine work with our
young girls. / believe these same
courses will instruct the young women
In better housekeeping and better
home sanitation. and how to altogeth-
er to live more comfortably and more
and commend this work
TO all.
Very truly yours.
Richard I. Manning,
Governor.

Agricultural Exchange at Chamber of
Commerce.

The Sumter Chamber Of Commerce
VIII handle list of agricultural pro-
ducts for sale. and will also list any
agricultural products wanted.
In other words regular agricui-
tural exchange will, be conducted on
a limited scale as a purely expert
mental matter for the convenience of
producers, and consumers.
This accommodation does not apply
to any one but Simon pure" produc-
ers of farm products, and will include
anything raised or grown on a sum-
ter county from mustard seed to a
Holstein bull. -..,
The method Of conducting this ex-
change will be about as follows:
/ Any producer having hogs. poultry,
cattle. vetch, clover, alfalfa. oats,
wheat, corn, potatoes. or other vege-
tables, and fruits. either canned, pre-
served. or IN natural state. honey.
syrups, sugar cane, nuts. butter, eggs,
peavine hay, rye. or other agricultur-
al products, may send either by mail
or by personal visit to the Chamber OF
Commerce, list of articles for sale.
But the Chamber of Commerce does
not offer to advertise, except at own
ers cost cash down in advance, any
article. except that any person want
ing any produce will be told where
and from whom, and what price the
produce can be secured.
II sufficient interest is manifested
by producers and consumers to war
rant the extension Of this service steps
may be taken to make this method OF
exchange include a wider scope OF
usefulness.
AS before stated present propos.
ed exchange is experimental. It's USE
fulness and value depends entirely up
on the advantage taken Of the offer by
producers and consumers. No pro.
produce allowed exhibited at the
Chamber of Commerce as this organ
ization is not prepared to store goods

ARE YOUR KIDNEYS WE'LL?
Many Sumter People Know the I'M
pOrtancc of Healthy Kidneys.

The Kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day.
Well kidneys remove impurities.
Weak kidneys allow impurities to
multiply.
No kidney i'll should be neglected.
There is possible danger in delay.
If you have backache or urinary
troubles.
If you are nervous, dizzy or worn
out,
Begin treating your kidneys at once;
Use proven kidney remedy.
None endorsed like Doan's Kidney
Pills.
Recommended by thousands.
Proved by Sumter testimony.

Bacteria grow very fast in warm
milk. Keep the milk cool and avoid
disease.
A. the weather grows warmer, low
er tho churning temperature of your
cream.
DO not wash butter with ice-cold
water. as to do this will ruin the body
OF the butter.
skfmmilk is fine 10 feed TO pigs,
but be sure all the butterfat Is out
before you feed II. Butterfat Is worth
too much for hog feed.
DO not uoe any OF the patent calf
feeders. An ordinary open pail Is bet
ter and far cheaper. See TO Il that
the little calves have plenty OF shade
and water.
Try to sell So 10 sweet cream to
the Ice cream man. II pays much
better to sell butterfat in the form
OF cream than In the form OF butter.
The flavor OF butter Is soluble In
cold water. Never place butter In di-
rect contact with water to cool. Put
the butter In a vessel and have the
water around the outside of the ves-
sci.
See to IL that all pals from which
calves are fed are kept very clean
TN hot weather. Dirty pals will very
likely cause calves to have scours.
Waste not want not" runs the
old adage. Farmers who waste not
their butterfat" seldom complain
about poor profits from their cows.
Get a separator and be sure.
The COW is a machine for convert
Ing fodder into butterfat. She may
be a highly efficient machine, but un-
less the farmer succeeds in separating
oil the cream from the whole milk
she cannot possibly return the larg-
est profits.
