WHAT OTHER NATIONS
HAVE IN RURAL CREDITS
Everybody is invited.

Study the Federal reserve act and
the National banking act, Mr. Con-
gresham, the rediscounting features,
the low interest rates allowed com
mercial banks, ETC., ETC., and then see
if you can look an honest farmer in
the face and tel him that the new rural
credits bill will insure as square a
deal for agriculture as the Federal re-
serve act gives commerce. And study
the European rural credits systems
and see if america can afford to do
less for her armers than is being done
for those in Europe In fact, let US
consider briefly what some European
nations have done:

"MY LADY INCOG. "

Ny Lady Incog which presents
Hazel Dawn for the first time in her
screen career as a girl detective, is
a rare combination of laughs and
thrills. "My Lady Incog," privately
known as Nell Carroll, is a sympa-
thetic and compelling character, espe-
cially appealing because of her SELL
reliance and courage in facing extreme
perils unflinchingly. The story con-
tains a powerful union or intense dTa-
matte situations and amusing episodes,
with always the suspense of uncertain
ty and excitement which comes from
the battling of keen intellects for supre
macy when the stakes are big. ''My
Lady Incog' has all the interest Of a
mystery story, plus delicate touch
of romance and dash of comedy that
insures the success of this unusual
Paramount Picture.
My Lady Incog" will be shown at
Leslie's Arcade Friday, March 18th.

BUSINESS RULES FOR 1915.

It's a belief o. The Progressive Far
mer's that the farmer ought to be just
as truly a business man" as man
ufacturer or merchantmen so big a
business man" in most cases, but
just as genuinely business in all his
methods. So important is this in our
opinion that we are going to repeat
a few ideas We have been suggesting
over and over again:
l. Take an inventory the first OF
the year.
2 Put your. rental contracts in
writing.
8. See that all deeds and other
papers are in proper shape; aud pu:
your will in written form.
4 Get all your 1915 debts paid,
and if there are any you can't pay
now, get a memorandum as to the ex-
act amounts of all and arrange to
extinguish them as fast as possible.
>. Get a farm record or account
book and keep account o all sales pur
chases, etc, in 1916
g. Put your money in bank
and pay all bills by check.
I. Use printed stationery, alphabe-
teal letter files and bill lilies, and make
it rule Cts one to be proud of that
You answer all letters promptly.
s. If you must bup on credit at
any time during the year, make it a
point to exhaust all efforts to borrow
cash and pay interest 6, 8, or even 10
per cent per annum if necessary
rather than pay % to Is per cent per
annum in the form o. time prices
9. Keep informed as to prices in
more than one market, and practice
proper grading and packing of every
product you sell.
TO- Name your farm and make a
for it as place from which
to get quality products, prompt ser
vice, and a square deal. THE Pro-
gressiVe Farmer.

Once again the wisdom Of depositing
| unds in banks and paying bills by
check instead of carrying the actual
money on ones person is illustrated
in tragic fashion. A few days ago a
Wayne county, Norah Carolina, farm
er, returning from town with the
cash from the sale Of his cot
ton crop, was set upon by negroes,
robbed. and his body thrown into the
river. He was bringing home the
actual specie in order to make settle
ments with his neighbors and the ne
groes knew it, robbery being their
only motive. This was tragedy
enough, but the state was then called
upon to suffer the further disgrace
of lynching. We do not believe
any situation can e7er justify mob
law, and We hope the lynchers will be
punished.-The Progressive Farmer.

WHY WOMEN
WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkham Medi-
cine Co.

Women who are we'll often ask care
the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine?" Are they truthful ? -
"Why do women write such letters :"
In answer we say that never have we
published fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
It has relieved women from some of
the worst forms of female ills, from dis
placements, inflammation liberation,
Irregularities, nervousness, weakness,
stomach troubles and from the blues.

CULTIVATE SMALL GRAIN

Nitrate OF soda and other top dress
iag FOR gran. is very costly this year
and there is some do"bi as to the ad-
visibility of buying it At present prices.
This is a question Cor each farmer to
decide for himself, whether to buy
soda or not at present prices, but
whether grain be top-dressed or not,
it will pay we'll to cultivate it with
harrow, two or three times. Use any
good spike tooth harrow, and run the
teeth little slanting, so as not to tear
up grain too much. It is very important
TO break top crust on land, thus con-
serve moisture and stimulate growth
in grain. All grain should be harrow
ed as soon as possible on account OF it
having been stunted by fly and cold
weather. Cultivation will also make
more plant food in soil become avail
able for the use of young plants, thus
cultivation will partly take place Of
nitrate OF soda.

DIR. REED SMITH MADE ADDRESS.

Talked Before Better Lnurens Club
NFriday Night ut the School Audit.
tOrium,
Prof Reed Smith, of the University
Of South Carolina, made au address
before the Better Laurens Club in the
school auditorium Friday evening.
Prof Smiths address was devoted
largely to an exposition Of woman's
sphere in the work Of bringing about
better living conditions and developing
higher ideals in the thoughts of the
time. He cited instances to show how
the influence Of Woman is becoming
felt more and more in those things
which affect the material and moral
life Of the nation. His address was
given the closest attention and at it's
conclusion many present went forward
to express their thanks to him for his
presence and his message. Proe. Smiths
lecture was one Of a number being de-
livered by professors Of the University
under an Extension campaign.
Before the lecture, Supt Parkinson
outlined the plans and motives Of the
Better Laurcns Club and about twenty
pupils of the school gave a little play
in which the dangers of uncleanliness
and carelessness were pointed out and
how these dangers could be removed.
Special stress was laid OH the danger
Of allowing trash to accumulate and
flies to breed, by which disease was
permitted to spread from house to
house and from person to person.
