Study the Business and PrcEes-
sional Men in Your Town.

Watch the men in the towns you
trade with-the merchants, bankers,
lawyers, doctors, warehousemen, cot
ton buyers, ETC., etc.
See which men are generous and
public-spirited and which are not.
Find out which men are interested
in better schools, better roads, public
health, sound morals, good citizen
ship, and all the things that make for
civilization and progress.
See which men are liberal and
which men are "tightwads" when ap-
peals come from Red Gross, the Y.
NJ. c. A., school taxes, new school
buildings, community fairs, prizes
for boys and girls and all such things.
See which men subscribe adequate
" for Liberty Loan bonds and War
Savings Stamps, and which men sub
scribe as little as possible so as to put
their money in something which will
bring in little more interest.
Now shall we criticise, abuse, and
denounce the men who by these tests
show themselves selfish, little-hearted,
little-souled? No, let's try apprecia-
ton of the generous men rather than
depreciation of the selfish ones. Al
ready too many of our people are
so busy criticising, abusing and de-
nouncing all the bad they find in the
world, (and making themselves mis-
cradle thereby that they never get
time to praise and encourage the
good-and increase their own happi-
ness thereby.
Try to pick out the men who are
liberal and unselfsh and atune with
progress. Tell your neighbor about
them and make up your mind to do
business only with such men hereaf-
ter. In this way you will throw the
profits of your business where part
of it will go to improve the communi-
ty and the county and the country,
instead of having these profits go SIM
ply to enrich some selfish man and
his family.
1t is your duty to throw your fran
cial influence to business and prcfes-
sional men of the right type. And by
the right type we mean men who be-
lieve that whatever prosperity God
gives them, He gives them not for
their own selfish enjoyment but to
hold as trustees of His, giving a fair
proportion to each good and worthy
cause that presents itself.

Poultry Notes.

Aside from the immediate demand
for poultry and eggs for home and
local consumption the close of the
war will, we believe, open a large
market for poultry for breeding pur-
poses to supply the needs of the
countries now at war. The destruc-
ton of breeding stock of all kinds
in the war zones will, after the war
ends, create an enormous demand
which this country will have to
supply.
This breeding stock will include
poultry, and as we can see it, the
many months, find large market for
all good poultry at remunerative pric-
es, and now is the time to make prep
arations.
The first step is to make up the
breeding pens. Select no fowls for
breeders that are not pure bred, in
vigorous health, and strong in all i'm
DOTLdHG DIeeu CIIetlSlCISIlSllSS. hio
card all those showing disqualifying
points, studying the standard in max
ing selections.
Avoid the common error of mating
3 male with too many females. Of
the American and English breeds, use
one vigorous male to six or eight fe-
males; of Mediterraneans, one male
to ten or twelve females. Where it is
convenient to have a separate run
End house for extra males, two males
can be used with each pen, increas-
ing the number of females one fourth
or one-third. Put the males in the
runs with hens on alternate days, Civ
ing each day of quiet.
AS rule, the best results are OBJ
tanned by mating full grown cocks,
two years old or more, with pullets,
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1918-12-04

and cockerals with hens two years
old and above. Use no males that are
not vigorous, aggressive, constantly
attentive to their flock, regardless of
the beauty of any bird. No drones
are wanted.
Relying en- hens TO do the Matching
is too uncertain and risky, especially
at this time, when even market eggs
are so high-priced. Get an incubator,
not cheap one, but well made re-
liable machine. Study carefully the
instructions for operating, and follow
them strictly. Do not allow any med
ding with an incubator, not even to
show visitor chow it works" " Do
the lamp filing and cleaning, and the
egg turning at regular fixed hours.
A brooder is absolutely necessary,
and for the best results, a well venti
lated brooder room. Many claim good
results from the use Of outdoor brood
ers. but at this time Of the year the
brooder room is safest. Make sure
of ventilation, see that it is rat-proof.
Keep good bed Of dry sand Oil the
floor, and on this three or four inches
of fine cut clover, alfalfa or other lit
ter. When fine grain is scattered in
this litter it will give chicks j lst the
necessary exercise and help keep
them healthy and vigorous-F. j. r.

Items About Sausage.

Stick to a popular recipe when
you find it, if the product brings the
best price.
Fresh and smoked country sausage
is always in demand if the product
is uniform.
Sausage is profitable because it
brings almost as much as ham. There
is little shrinkage compared to smok-
ed goods. In sausage one gets a high
price for fat and seasoning.
Leave liver out Of sausage, also
Jumps and everything else but lean
meat and fat trimmed from the back
and cuts of meat. There are plenty
of other uses for the ''innards.'
Do net use leaf fat in sausage, as it
melts away and leaves the sausage
hard
A sausage proportion that most
people like is three parts lean meat
to one of fat.
Prick sausage with fork when
you put it on to cook, or the casing
will burst.
Don't throw away the bones. Crush
or grind them for the chickens and
see the hens begin to lay.
Fresh sausage can be kept urder a
layer of lard for number Of days.

No Restrictions on Building.

Columbia, Nov. % Effective
Thursday, November 81, all restric-
tions previously in force on construc-
ton projects of every kind were re-
moved by the War Industries Board.
The State Coucil of Defense has been
so advised in a telegram from Wash
ington.
This action was taken by the War
Industries Board after a question
!naire had been SER out to the De-
tense Councils Of all States, which
have been acting as the agencies
through which the War Industries
Board has investigated and passed on
non-war construction projects. In the
opinion OF the majority of the De-
fense Councils the necessity for re-
strictions has been relieved. On No
vamber II, all restrictions were re-
moved on building projects ranging
from $4,000 to $4,000 in cost, as
the result of a conference of Defense
Council representatives held in Wash
ington with the War Industries Board
but it is now felt that the situation
as regards labor and building mate
rials will permit of the removal of
all restrictions.
The State Council of Defense, act
ing for the War Industries Board
handled large volume of applica-
tions for building permits, involving
heavy work curing the past few
months, while the restrictions have
been in force. The number OF con-
struction projects in South Carolina
for which the War Industries Board
declined to issue permits during this
period was S5, totalling 100000 in
cost; and it may be reasonably eX-
pected that, the restrictions now re-
moved, this projected construction,
held up temporarily. will proceed.

THE object of this war is to deliver the free
peoples Of the world from the menace and
the actual power of a vast military establish
ment controlled by an irresponsible govern
ment which, having secretly planned to dom
mate the world, proceeded to carry the plan
out without regard either to the sacred obli-
cations of treaty or the long established
practices and long cherished principles OF in
ternational action and honor; which chose it's
own time for the war; delivered its blow
either of law or of mercy; swept whole con-
tinent within the tide OF blood-nOt the blood
of soldiers only, but the blood of innocent
women and children also and of the helpless
poor; and now stands baked but not defeat
ed the enemy of four-f1fths of the world. =

What Memory Is.

The popular notion that memory is
IAN association of ideas" is true.
Memory, plainly, is not only made up
of an association of ideas but also of
associated impressions living things
receive. Such associations may be
due to real and necessary connections
such as ''iron bar" or to your mental
coupling up of such associations rs
''blue funk" "sweet melody" pretty
girl" Habitual linkage makes the i'm
preston firmer, the retention in mind
more durable and a more simple han,
die whereby the matter can be recalled
at will.

Ljfe's Treasure Stores.

Success and contentment begin with
the realization that life represents a
valuable treasure. We may liken life
to a field. At first the owner values
1t for wild berries; then, ceasing to
be a wanderer, he becomes an agri-
culturist, and values it for its rich har-
vest; grown wiser still, he discovers
coal; amazed at the treasure, he digs
and finds silver and gold; astounded,
he goes deeper, and 10! the seam is
full of diamonds. And every life holds
all the strata of underlying and I'M
suspected stores of treasures.-Rev.
Newell Dwight Hills.
