they have been in years gone by.

Des Moines, Oct. s.-Harding and
Meredith continue to be the political
top liners turnout the state National
speakers are coming and going, the
great national issues are being put be-
fore the people, but the center Of in
terest is on who will be governor and
how he is going to conduct himself
after he is governor.
Both Harding and Meredith are
speaking to big crowds. Followers Of
both sides are claiming the election for
their leaders. Meredith men say he
Will get most Of the republican votes
which were cast in the primary for
Cosson and Allen and this will put
Meredith across. Harding men say
he will get all Of the votes he got in
the primary and the big per cent of the
votes cast for the other two republican
aspirants and that these will put Har-
ding across. So there you are.
Newspaper men who have accompa-
MED the two candidates for governor
on some of their trips say the people
are anxious TO get at the facts. They
want to size up each speaker and
weigh his words. They have read a
great deal about the two men in the
newspapers and they want to find out,
first hand, if possible, just what the
men are like and what they say and
how they say it.

]. Frank Hanly, former governor OF
Indiana, candidate for president on the
prohibition ticket, made strong
speech for temperance when he was in
Des Moines a few days ago. He
also pleaded with the voters to keep
Iowa dry.
You have driven booze out of your
state, you have banned it, he said
earnestly, but if you think you are
done with it you are mistaken. See to
it that your state remains in the ranks
of the redeemed" he said. See that
it does not fall back into the ranks Of
the damned. Sever your party affilia-
tons, as I understand you are doing,
and be patriots first"
Clifford Pinchot, who spoke in Des
Moines Saturday noon and at Boone in
the evening. says that practically all
of the progressives will vote for
Hughes this fall. Pinchot himself is
an ardent progressive and he Is cam
paigning for Hughes. He says Penn
sylvania, his home state, will go over
whelmingly for Hughes and New York
will probably do the same. He says
Tammany hall is for Hughes.
The next four years will see the
civilized world reconstructed" ne de-
clared. Treaties will be made with
various countries and policies will be
formulated which will mean either our
downfall or our success commercially
and politically. President Wilson has
demonstrated that he is not the man
to accomplish the task which will
come with the end of the European

WOULD SELL METHOD
OF DOUBLING BUTTER

Clemson College, Feb. s. How
to make two pounds of butter come
where only one pound came before
and how, thereby, to get something
for nothing is an art that travelling
agents have been trying to teach to
South Carolina farmers recently in
return, of course, for proper re-
wards. These agents have been
selling to farmers a method by
which a person can take M pound
of milk and one pound of butter
and make two pounds of a product
the agents call butter. Having
learned of this work, the Animal
Husbandry and Dairying Division
of Clemson College is warning farm
ers to have nothing to do with it.
Many farmers, it is said, have al
ready bought the formula and the
churn that goes with it.
Such a mixture, say the dairy
manufacturing experts at Clemson,
can be made with butter and milk,
but the product cannot be called
butter. 1t is nearer a soft cheese
like curd or cottage cheese. A
sample of such "buttcr" has been
received at the college. When
tested it gave the following analy-
sis: Butterfat, 81 percent; water %
percent, milk, etc, Is percent.
Compare this with good butter,
which contains: Butterfat, SO per-
cent; water. lbs percent; milk, salt,
ETC., 2.5 percent.
Any butter that contains more
than 16 percent moisture is con-
sidered adulterated and cannot be
sold as butter. Farmers should use
great care when trying to increase
their yield of butter and see to it
that they do not violate the laws
of the United States.
Beware CT the agent who can do
too much for you. There is no
better churn than the barrel or
swing for the man who has more
than four cows" says a dairy spec
ialist. "The farmer who has fewer
than four COWS can get no better
churn than the old stone jar.
at is a fraud to sell milk as but
ter and no farmer should attempt
it. Skimmilk in the form of clab-
Der or buttermilk has a high food
value, but it should never be mixed
with butter. The less milk in but
ter the better, and butter than con-
tains much milk will very soon
spoil and become unfit for food"

"Gentlemen of the jury. The best
