SOUTH CAROLINA SHOWS
HOW TO CUT LIVING COST
State Bureau Under E, J, Wat
son Finds Market for the
Farmer
BY BASIL M. MANLY.

COLUMBIA, s. c.. Jan. 20.-Is your
state as wide awake as South Carolina?
A few years ago that question would
have been a joke, but today there are
a good many lines in which the sleepy
old Palmetto state can give the young
er commonwealth few pointers.
South Carolina has a small, inexpen-
sive bureau Of marketing that is doing
more to reduce the cost of living and
aid city folks to get fresh foods than
all the expensive food commissions and
investigating committees of the big
northern states.
Commissioner Z. ]. Watson. who con-
ceived and founded the bureau of mar
keting, is the man who is doing the
trick
His bureau will help anything. Ii has
effected sales of farms worth thousands
of dollars, of hundreds of bushels of
grain in a single transaction, and of
large droves of live stock. And it has
arranged the sale of two monkeys, a
Japanese poodle and six yards of tat
ting.
The bureau of marketing is a free
clearing house for everybody in South
Carolina that wants to buy anything or
sell anything, but nearly all transac-
tions are between farmers who can't
find a fair market for their products and
city people who want to buy fresh foods
at fair prices
During busy weeks the business of
the bureau amounts to 100000 a week.
and il is conducted al n cost of less than
S35.
The South Carolina farmer used to
raise nothing much but cotton, because
he knew where to sell his cotton and
couldn't be sure of "A market for any
thing else. Now, as a result Of the bu-
reau's work, he finds he can get fair
price for nearly everything he can raise,
and he is going in for diversified farm
ing.
The bureau has also had a greae deal
to do with the success of the boys and
girls canning clubs by finding mar
ket for their products.
And last but not least, as Commits
sioner Watson puts it, "a farmer who
has just made a profit, as a result of a
sale the state made possible, commences
to take a real interest in government
and to have a decreased resentment to-
ward paving his share of taxes"

Mrs. Elizabeth de HART a
Great-Great Grandmother
Eats Meat Three Times a

If young girls would wear thick fan
mel around their necks instead of moth

inches and put rubbers over those dslin-
ty but disastrous little slippers, they
might live TO be a hundred like Mrs.
Elizabeth OSBORN de Hart.
'gWomen sacrifice health to beauty
nowadays: they live to be looked at long
instead of looking to live long," she
says. And she ought to know, for on
the eve of her one hundredth birthday
she still eats meat at every meal and
doesn't object to a little mince pie be-
fore retiring.
