HON. Il. Fl. WEIGH MADE GOOD
Talk at tho Court House on Monday
on Subject of Farm Loans.

Hon. II. ri. Welch, registrar Of the
Federal Land Bank Of Columbia,
made a very instructive and attrac-
tive presentation Of the system un-
der which the Federal Farm Loan
Board Is getting money to the farm
ers at five and Il half simple inter-
est, last Monday at the Court House.
A few farmers and number Of 9TH
ers who are Interested in farms were
present.
Mr.. Welch has been in this work
since the organization, and Is thor
oughly familiar with it's workings
and with the statistics. He made 1t
very plain that by this process Of re-
payment OF loan and interest, that
q farmer would save $64O on a one
thousand-dollar loan for the period
which it runs. He had figures to
show that the farmers Of the United
States, II this system continues, will
save in thirty-six years, ton billion
dollars. The Western farmers have
taken advantage OF this system much
more readily than the Eastern farm
ers, the loans of the Western banks
amounting to several times that Of
the Eastern banks.
This system of financing the farm
ers does not come In conflict with
any other organized enterprise, but
merely takes care OF the long loans,
and enables those who would not
otherwise be able to do so to pur-
chase and pay for home.
1t is to be regretted that there
was not q large number of farmers
throughout the county to hear this
very instructive and interesting talk,
which was real treat and delighted
all who haerd 1t.

ARMY COOK GETS CITATION.
Ira $. Holden, Son OF Fred q. HOl-
den, Gets Unique Distinction.

The following item clipped from
| the Atlanta Constitution of last Sun
day, will prove Of great interest to
! many people in Oconee, the young
man to whom reference is made, Ira
S. Holden, being son Of Mr. and
Mrs. f. G. Holden, Of Pine Mountain,
| Ga, which Is a little postoffice just
across the line Of our county, on
! the Georgia side. The Holden fam
lily Is always regarded as an aggre-
| cation Of our people, and we of
| Oconee take no small pride in the
good fortune Of our young friend,
even though he is "just across the
line" as regards actual citizenship.
Following is the article from the
| Constitution:
Ira S. Holden,
Of Walhalla, S. c., a member of Co.
K, 32Sth Infantry, Second Division,
| has received Il citation for personal
| bravery.
He is cook, and to the old-fash-
! ioned student Of wartime heroism,
| the work Of a cook may not afford
the best opportunities in the world
for the display Of citation-winning
heroism. But, then, when a man has
the real stuff in his makeup, it's
bound to come out, anyhow ~.
Cook Holden was serving his port
able kitchen just as effectively as his
comrades of the artillery were serv-
ing their guns, in the big Argonne
battle. 1t was near Sommerance
| between October 1G and 81, while
the SD went through their own par
| ticular part Of the Argonne hell, that
he won his distinction.
There were four Of the kitchens
In his battery" and the other three
were put out Of commission by the
| enemy shellfire. So Cook Holden
! just sized up the situation and
| worked his kitchen to capacity day
| and night, and thus provided the
meals for his lighting friends of the
infantry which had previously come
| from the four kitchens.
Much Of the time he and his kit
| chen were under the enemy fire, but
he never withdrew his attention from
his pots and pans and their delectg-
BILE contents. ~.
If an ignorant scoffer should de-
slagestha a. COG k.s dtti Is. era
| 1mportantFas those of anyo ,rmem-
Der Of the military system If said
scoffer should doubt the l for
| courage under such circumstances as
| those under which Holden was
placed, all he has to do to have his
doubts removed is to ask a dough-
boy who was there--one Of the
doughboys who depended on Just
such cooks as Holden, and Just such
personal bravery as his, for their
daily food in the front trenches. Ask
one Of these-because he knows.

HOW TO REMEDY CLAY SOILS
Beneficial Results Secured by Making
1t Loose-AppIy Ashes and
Dung Literally.

Physically clay is mass Of very
fine, minute grains, stuck together as
cemented substance, and is compar-
ably like putty in texture. Water is
impermeable to it.
As soil clay Is very unsuitable,
for the land gets in,ia waterlogged
condition and very cold; but as.a CON
stituent it is very valuable, as it re-
tains the moisture and holds plants
firm. Clay contains small amount
of food substance, and can be alb
sorbed in very small quantities. 1t
also retains the properties Of decay
ing manures.
To remedy heavy clay soils by max
ing it loose and friable, ashes and
long dung literally applied would have
very beneficial results.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
If, properly located, built and pro-
tected, dug wells are more likely to be
permanently satisfactory than any
other kind, but to insure the safety of
the water supply they require clean
ing occasionally. Even in protected
wells dust and other foreign matter,
which may pollute the water, are like
ly to gain entrance at the top, and
the washing in of clay and silt with
the ground water may make the sup
ply unwholesome.
First Step in Cleaning.
The first step in cleaning a well
should be inspection Of the curb,
which, if weak or defective, may
make entrance dangerous. This ex-
animation may be made more thor
oughly, and even the bottom of the
well may be observed by the aid of
q beam of sunlight reflected into the
well by looking-glass. Next lower

bonic acid gas has accumulated in the
bottom Of the well. Complete or par
tial failure of the candle to burn in
dicates that it is dangerous to enter
the well. If found safe to enter a
ladder should be lowered and the
curb from top down scrubbed with
wire or other stiff brushes and
rinsed thoroughly. The well then
should be pumped as low as possible,
and any mud, moss or other debris
should be scraped up into pals and
removed. ~.
Pump Out After Cleaning.
After thorough cleaning the well
should be allowed to fill and then tbe
pumped out rapidly. This operation.
may be repeated to advantage two or
three times, and often the whole work
results in a freer, larger-yielding well.
Many wells can be drained by hand
pumping, but in other cases a power
pump is necessary.
Unless there are special reasons for
SO doing there is little use in attempt
