co. OPERATION TO PLANT TREES

Real cooperation is such Il rare
thing. it seems that when it really hap
pens there is general comment.
So it happens that the action of
farmers along Il pike for distance
Of six miles out of Shelbyville, Ind,
have created considerable favorable
remarks for signing an agreement to
plant trees on either side Of the road
way. sixty feet apart. and of a uniform
variety.
All that was required was some
body To 20 around with the agreement
and secure the signatures; or perhaps
the promises to do so were secured
over the telephone and the paper sent
along at their convenience. Or per-
hapS the entire job was the result OF
il verbal agreement, which among
gentlemen. is as binding as anything
ever written.
\ few years hence that pike will be
Il model for shade and satisfaction.
That kind of cooperation in the rural
districts is worth while copying.

A CONGRESSIONAL DRAWBACK

MNst of the congressman III the 64tl
congress were elected on dcat ISSUES
those Of them elected Il year ago
come the closest t. being OH the jobs
aS the result of late political develop
merits; yet not Il single one of them was
elected because of his standing OH
questions affecting the 64th congress.
At that time the European war had
not begun. There was 10 preparedness
agItatlnn: and other issues that follow
were likewise lacking.
In the meantime there WAS Il short
session of congress at which lame
ducks" another name fr absolutely
Irresponsible congressman because they
were t" lose their seats ut the end of
the session, aided in the legislation.
Eighteen months between the cleo

This is Il system that should he i'm
proved ut All early day. There is no
reason for the long delay. 1t retards

without an opinion from their con.

Not Il single congressman has been
elected because of his stand for or
against preparedness. yet they've all
got to vote on the question as they are
influenced personally and as they be-
lrve-without actually knowing
what the majority of their constituents
want.

WAR KILLS BABIES. TOO

The pail of the great world war
plague is laying heavy toll at mSuS-
pected points. The average person
thinks the only figures of carnage are
these recording the deaths of soldiers.
But there are other deaths it causes.
and the ligttfeS have gone to unprece-
dented heights.
With 50 many millions of men at
the front. European nations are find
ing that the birth rate has declined
tremendously. I'm other words. the
annual increase Of population due to
birthS--thr annual baby crop-haS
been lowered Ia am alarming rate.
England reports that she has had
1000 fewer babies born this year
than last. and there were 10000 mere
deaths. The same proportion applies
To other hrlligcrcnt countries.
And 81 Il will continue Ion" after
the war i> over. There are no progeny
attached tn dead soldiers. They do not
add la the family tree. Great aS the
figures of slain men are. they are
small in comparison with those figures
that ultimately will represent the l"SS
If babies that might have been born
hut for the ammihilatiom of man.
The war must end some time. but
the birth rate will never hr what ii
could have been had this conflict never
come to lli"ht civilization.

PROSPERITY FOR KEEPS

The fact that the allied governments
in the United STATES who are buying
produce for delivery after the war
ends, indicates that the prosperity we
are enjoying will not cave in ut the
conclusion of peace. There is dis
position To believe that the present
good times are due entirely to aims
and AMMUNITION activity. and that the
end of the war will seq Il Widespread
business setback. 1t is evident. hew-
ever. that other lines of trade will not
follow the experience which may he
justly conceded to the munitions in
duStry when peace crlneS. Europe will
have need for an unprecedented guam
tity of our products. and this will con-
timur tn boost prosperous times. OF
course. there are some people who
wish Ia make political capital out of
any Slackpning in trade. hut happily
their number is growing less every
year This using of trade conditions
as a football for p' litical capital mere
ly takes money out of the pockets of
everycMe. including those who indulge
IN such doubtful practices. ProSperi-
ty is with us and it is the business of
every American to do I'LL in his power
to make it stay. and this regardless Of
politicS. There are plenty issues he

SOREHEAD in POULTRY
Extremely Contagious Disease OF
Fowls Can Cause Serious Loss
Unless Promptly Checked.

Sorehead, disease Of chickens caus-
ed by spores of a common mold, sp-
pears when fowls come in contact with
moldy litter or moldy grain. 1t seems
not to be constitutional disease. It |
Is usually confined to the face, comb,
wattles and ear-lobes, eyes, nostrils,
and mouth, but is occasionally found
under the wings in advanced or neg.
lected cases. It Is extremely con.
tagious and may spread through
flock in two or three days.
Sorehead is Of two kinds, dry and
moist, according to the surface at.
tackled by the spores. II it is on the mu-
cous membrane Of the eye, mouth, or
nostrils, the moist type develops; II
on the skin Of the face or adjacent
parts, n will be the dry or warty vari-
ETY.. The moist type is most serious
disease, growing rapidly. 1t soon
closes the eyelids, which swell to an
enormous size, blinds the fowl, and
causes it to waste away and die.
When sorehead appears, 1t is not
necessary to isolate the diseased fowls
from the flock. Look for moldy litter
or food and II 1t Is found replace 1t
with fresh. Check the disease by color.
ing the drinking water pink with
few crystals of permanganate Of pot.
ash, and paint the face and comb of
the apparently well chickens with
equal parts Of creolin and water, Or q
strong purple solution Of permangan-
ate of potash. Give appetizing food.
1t is advisable to mix the egg mash
with buttermilk or sour skim milk and
feed sprouted oats daily. Cook cheap
meat cut 1t up, and throw to the
chickens
The fowls that have the warts
should be caught and the crust of
each wart removed. The tissue un.
derneath is red. Dip clean feather
in one Of the remedies named below
and touch the red tissues with the
liquid. Next morning the treated wart
will have a black scab over 1t, which
dries and falls off in three or four
days. A week later one cannot de-
tect where the wart was.
In treating the moist variety, It Is
necessary to drop the remedy into the
eye, nostrils, or whatever organ Is at
tackled. This seems cruel, but It
saves the fowl.
The remedy the writer prefers IL
pure. undiluted creolin. We have not
lost a chicken from sorehead since
using this remedy. 1t will eradicate
the disease from the eye and, IL used
in time, will save the sight. Other
good remedies are iodine, cresol or
similar disinfectant, zenoleum. all
used undiluted; purple solution of per.
manganate of potash, liquid shoe pol
ish (black), and solution of copperas
(as much as will lie on a 25-cent piece,
dissolved in cup of water). A clean
feather Is best for applying the rem.

TO CHERAW BUSINESS MEN.

The Chronicle wants to maintain
itself as standard newspaper this
year but it cannot do it without the
whole-souled, liberal support of Che
raw business men.
A perusal of our columns from week
to week shows we are getting prac-
tically no support from Cheraw busi-
ness men. We surely should get suf-
ficient patronage from home enter
prises, all of which are tremendously
benefited by the paper, to conduct
the business on paying basis.
AS to our charges, no reasonable
complaint can justly be made, viz:
25 cents per inch for display. front
page; 10 cents per inch for display
other pages; and 10 cents per inch
for electros, solid. Solid pages, not
crowded, or where reading matter set
in small type is not used, we ask only
$1,000. or $500 for half page. On
the front page Il minimum of $1,000 per
page, or $1,000 per half page. is offer,
ed for occasional Use.
Suppose three pages of the paper
is consumed in display, each week
this would be only $4,000. \" less
than three employees are required tC
get out the paper. Expenses. such as
insurance. rent, interest, lights, pa
per, and some income for the publish
er must be considered.

Business men of Cheraw, let there

When you patronize the Chronicle
don't consider that you are committing
a charitable act. but that you are as
