]. 5. STAPlEY WILL
 TAKE NEEDED REST

MESA, Nov 3.-After seventeen years If continuous close application to business e. $. Stapiey of the hard ware firm bearing his name, has de- clared that he is going to take a rest. This statement he made following five-course luncheon given the twenty two employees of the -,:esa and Phoenix houses. Following the luncheon the party adjourned to the store and list ened to MT. Stapley as he outlined his plans both for the business and the employees.
 First he stated that he was getting a little tired and he expected to have his sons shoulder the responsibility of the big business. Not that he would re- tire. for he would be on hand most of the time, but that after a man had worked for seventeen years he had a right to take it a little easy. He next announced that Glenn Stapley would be general manager of both houses and that Delbert Stapley would have charge of the Mesa house and the other son. Lorel, would have charge of the Phoenix store Each of these young men have received extensive training under their father and are thoroughly familiar with all departments.
 He also made statement of interest to the employees present. The store is adopting the custom of a bonus to employees. Whenever the business makes a certain per cent per year, em- ployes having been with the store a certain length of time get eight per cent on the amount of their salary. Checks covering this bonus were then handed Edgar Hunsaker, Alexander Hunsaker, II. D. Mckee, R. A. Bird, Miss Ida Lillywhite and Miss Ceeile Hostetter.
 e. :. Stapley has been a very busy man during the last seventeen years The immense business had an humble origin. starting with under S2,000 capi- tai. but by careful nursing and close attention the year ending October 30 showed well cSer a quarter million During these years of strenuous labor Siapley has found time to engage in all kinds of public and religious work He is one of the stake presidents of the church of Latter Day Saints, has served his county in the state senate and is at present placed on about every committee of a public nature in this vicinity. Those who know him best say it will be an interesting sight tC see Q. s. Stapley trying to take il easy

The efforts of the agricultural
experts, newspapers and others
to arouse the people to a realiza-
ton of the impending food cri-
sis are highly commendable. but
after all the soaring prices of
foodstuffs will probably have
more effect than all that can be
said and written. When a man
is forced to shell out two dollars
for bushel of corn, seven dol
lars for sack of flour, Is cents
for pound of fat back, % cents
for a pound of lard and Il cents
a pound for sugar he mas some
thing TO dream about. And
these prices are about what the
merchants are selling these
commodities at now or what
they will sell for as soon as the
stocks on hand are sold out.
Evidence of this kind is quite
convincing that something to eat
should be grown this year.

And the King he wears robe,
They say the United States is

They'd swipe her off the globe.
But let them talk just all they

They can't scare me.
Maybe they think that we can't

AT first we thought we would
tell what Mr. ]. r. Cato said
Saturday morning when he fell
and spilled half a bushel of corn
i'll the sand, but then we were
reminded that newspapers are
not allowed to print all a man
can say under such conditions
and also that his preacher might
thus get a line on his behavior.
So we will only tell something
of the circumstances, and leave
off what he said, which was
quite a plenty considering that
he is a prominent churchman.
He arose early and went out to
the barn where he shucked and
shetled about three pecks of corn
to carry TO mill, thinking the
while of the bread he would
have without paying two dollars
a bushel. He sacked the corn
and set it to one side withou.
tying the sack. Then he gath
cred up the shucks under one
arm and his chair under the 9TH
er and stepped out. His foot
slipped and down he came right
flat on his back. turning over
the corn and spilling two-thirds
of it in the sand. There is where
this story ends for there is where
a line of talk began which is
hardly fit for family newspaper.
Ask him what he said, and If he
isn't pouting because of this ar
ticle he will tell you something
of what he said, if you will
promise not to tell the preacher.

KILL THE DOGS

While the campaign to grow
more food is in progress one
should be waged to kill off all
the worthless dogs. 1t is a ia.
miliar sight to see two or three
old hounds around a house and
there IS seldom more than one
pig Oh the same premises. The
dog in this country is not only a
worthless animal but very ex
penSiVe one as well. Not one
penny of income is derived from
the average dog. In a year a
dog will eat enough bread to
astonish the owner if he could
see ii all at one time. Now,
that food is both high and scarce
and getting scarcer daily it is a
patriotic duty to save every par,
ticle of food possible. To kill
off the dogs is one of the ways
to save. Can you with a clear
conscience feed high priced
bread to a worthless dog when
the chances are that that bread
will be needed ere long to sus
tain human life? 1t may not be
your life nor the life of any
member Of your family, and vet
it might be. Oh, yes. you like
old Track and old Jolar, but
take a fools advice and put out
their light.

who had just graduated from a

animation TO enter the United
States navy. He was directed
to appear before a medical
board of old naval surgeons.
After careful and lengthy ex
animation, the president of the
board asked, rather abruptly:
Doctor, suppose you were called
to see a man who had been
blown up. what is the first thing
you would do?"
With emphasis he replled:
Wait till he came down, sir"
The old surgeon looked at
him keenly and continues:
Suppose for your impertineni
answer, | should kick YOU;
what muscles would | bring into
play?"
"The flexors and entensors OF
my arm, sir, for | should knock
you down"
You'll pass" said the old
surgeon.

Chesterfield County Is Getting
In Line

Chesterfield, April 22.-The
preparedness meeting for Ches-
terfield county, which was held
in the court house here yester-
DAY, was we'll attended and was
an enthusiastic meeting.
Inspiring addresses were made
by Rev. H r. Murchison of
Lancaster E. w. Dabbs, presi-
dent of the State Farmers union
and F. S. Stewart of Clemson
College. The meeting was
presided over by Maj. w. j.
Tiller, demonstration agent.
After the addresses pledges
for growing larger food supply
crops were called for, and the
response was very gratifying to
all.
AT the suggestion of the Rev.
J. l.. Tyler the slogan "The
work is not done, it has lust
begun" was adopted for Ches-
terfield county. Mr.. Tyler ad-
ded land we are the fellows to
do it," at which assertion there
were hearty exclamations of
approval.
Just as soon as this movement
began in the State Chesterfield
county, under the leadership of
w. ]. ti.ler, county demonstra-
ton agent and Miss Stella Minis,
home demonstration agent, fell
into line, and the work of in
ducing the people to raise large
crops of food supplies was begun.
The following committee was
appointed by Mr.. TlIler, the
Rev. ]. L. Tyler, the Rev. J.. G..
Lawson, the Rev. A. H. McArn,
the Rev. ]. w. Quick, and the
Rev. AS. Thomas, L. L. Parker
I. B. Watson. ]. w. Miller and
J. Clifton Rivers, and Mrs.
Harriet P. Lynch. Mrs. A. H,
Mangum and Miss Stella Minis.
Meetings are deing held in all
parts of the county.
In addition to this committee
excellent work is being done by
6. K. Lanev, Don S. Matheson,
w. J. Odom and Cordy Win
burn; in fact every man in the
county seems willing to do all
in his power to promote this
work.
The leaders among the negro
race are falling in line and call
ing upon their people to follow
the example of thewhite folk.
In spite of the war and the
coming invasion of the boil
weevil with the people here
about raising the greater part of
their rood supply there are
brighter days ahead in Chester
field county.
