making him comfortable for the night

there anything i can do for you before

Dear little Two Stars replied: "Well,
yes! I should like very much to be
kissed goodnight"
Sister rustled to the door. "Just
wait till I call the orderly" she said.

COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY
HAS GOOD MEETING

Regular meeting of the NewberrV
County Medical society was held in
the city council chamber Friday aft
ernoon, July 13, with twenty physi-
clans present. The secretary read a
letter from Dr. Rupert Blue, Presl-
= dent Of the American Medical asso-
citation, asking that "the county socle-
ty determine the number of physicians
within it's jurisdiction who are under
55 years of age, and who of these ars
I physically and professionally quail
fed for service in Medical Reserve
Corps; also how many and who could
be spared from their respective local
=, tiles, and report to the secretary Of
! State Medical association as we'll as
the secretary of A. M. A After
some discussion a motion was made
and carried that the president, vice
president and secretary Of the socie-
ty be constituted committee to COM
ply with the request in so far as Is
practicable and forward the report.
The society was also asked to take
action looking to the safeguarding OF
the personal interests of the physi-
clans who may be called into active
service in the United States army. It
! was moved and carried that the fol-
lowing resolution adopted by South
Carolina Medical association be en-
dorsed by this society.
Resolved, That the South Carolina
Medical association recognize the pa
triotism of those members of the med
ical profession resident in South Car
olina who volunteer for the services
OF the United States government, and
in appreciation of this we recommend
that should these members of the
profession be called into active ser
vice, the doctors who shall attend their
patients should turn over one-third
of the fees collected from such pa
tients to the physician in active ser
vice or to his family.

GOLD MINES IN FARMING
Truck May be Made to Pay BIZ
Dividends.

Daily Financial American.
From Wilmington, N. c., comes the
story of J. E. Morris who planted ieS-
tuce on four acres Of his land 4eD-
ruary and sold his crop f. o. D.
Wilmington for $4,000. He set out
about 10000 plants. Some were IN
beds while others were without pro-
lection other than of trees as wind
breaker.
This may appear an unusual IN
stance, but it is not. Hundreds Oh
truck gardeners in that fine dlstrlc'
in the coastal region of Virginia ano
North Carolina, in Florida and in tho
district about Mobile, in the Baratarla
section of Louisiana and in the coast
country OF Texas, have young colo
mines in their acres.
For many years strawberry grow
er named Cook was credited with
earning $1,000 or more an acre on his
land. There are truck gardeners
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1917-07-17

who specialize in cucumbers and other
lines and who, by being able to sup
ply the great hotels of the North with
these articles out of season, commend
almost fabulous prices for their pro-
ducts. One cucumber grower, for ex-
ample, got 81 dozen for his "cukes.
ANY person who knows the number OF
cucumbers you can grow on an acre
can appreciate what dollar a dozen
means.
Alligator pears have sold in the New
York market this spring at from 90
cents to 81 each.
Canteloupes almost always command
a fair price and anyone who has the
ADVANTAGE of water transportation so
that his crop will not suffer from
high freight has a sure profit in
''musks."
The American people have not come
TO appreciate where there is the most
money in agriculture at the present
time. The big profit is not in the
rich valley lands of the West or the
fine rolling prairie land. The agrisul-
tural Eldorado is in the comparative
ly door and very cheap lands of the
coast country where it is possible,
through sub-irrigation and through
favorable climate to raise garden
truck as nowhere else in the republic.
North Carolina, Florida, Alabama, LOU
isiana and Texas offer opportunities in
this line that are excellent.

The Columbia Record thus Com
mends the service of Representative
A. F. Lever:
Where the Columbia and Green
vile road crosses the Broad River,
26 miles west of Columbia is a little
station, Peaks, a typical country vii
lage. Up to four or five years ago
this was the home of Asbury F Le-
yer, Congressman from the Seventh
district
''The success of this big little man
shows what many boy may do If he
has character, ambition, tenacity and
courage. Crank Lever was but
lad when he was elected to congress.
He made good from the start and
when the Democrats got into control
of Congress he became chairman OF
the great committee on agriculture.
"This is more than a title, more
than an honor. It is job. 1t carries
hard work. In one year his committee
passes upon or originates appropria-
tions for more than twenty million
dollars. which is about as much as the
State of South Carolina expends for
all purposes in ten years.
"The agriculture of the United
States and especially of the South has
felt the quickening impulse of instruc-
ton by trained workers. We have
seen the effects right here in Rich
land county.
"The governments policy toward
agricultural development has not been
at a standstill since Mr.. Lever be-
came chairman of this committee,
and every year has seen newer and
bolder undertakings. So successful
have they been that it was with con-
fidence that the administration com
mitted to Mr.. Lever the leadership IN
the fight for legislation to control the
food supply.
THAT was real fight. The peo-
pie at large know nothing of it. The
heaviest part Of the work and OF the
fighting was in the committee room.
1t would have been impossible for
chairman without the conf idence OF
his committee to have brought out
favorable report under the auspices
that Mr. Lever did.
"The debate on the floor OF the
house lasted Aell up into Saturday
night, and we feel sure that the re-
suit must have been great gratlfl-
cation to Mr.. Lever, tired after a week
of floor management. But seven
votes AGAINST it-against bill which
is the boldest step this country has
ever made to wrest an unlawful pow
er from the food barons, an auto
cracy of price fixing that has robbed
the country.
"The people of Lexington, OF the
seventh district of South Carolina
should be proud of the work of Con-,
gressman Lever in this great under
taking, and should let him know how
they feel about it. Even those VINO
might not care for the legislation it
self must respect his handling of the
fight which at one time seemed next
to impossible"
When Mr. Levers predecessor as
chairman of the House Com
mittee on Agriculture, Capt.
John A. Lamb, of Richmond, Va,
was defeated for reelection, he MADE
the statement to a South Carlinian
that there was no other man in Con-
gress who, in his judgment, was so
capable of serving at the head OF that
committee as Mr.. Lever.
