A DISCOVERY THAT
benefits MANKIND

Two discoveries have added greatly
to human welfare.
In 1885 Newton originated the vac
uum process for condensing milk with
cane sugar to a scmi-iiquid form.
In Iss3'Horlick at Racine, Wis, dis
covered how to reduce milk to dry
posedcr form with extract of matted
grains, seithom cane sugar.
This product HoRLIck named
Matted Milk. (Nsme since copied
by otherr.) Its nutritive value,
digcstibility and case of preparation
(by simply stirring in water) and the
fact that it keeps in any climate,
has proved of much value to mankind
as an ideal food-drink from intdncy
to old age.

Farmers Must Have a Living
Wage

Clay Tallman, Commissioner OF
the United States General Land Of
flee, said in an address at the opening
session of the twenty-second annual
convention of the American Live
stock Association: "It is very we'll
for you stockmen to talk of limiting
production t to correspond with the de-
I mars ma s. as:to sleepslp prices, but the
Ilaboring man in the East who has to
pay days wages for roast does
not look at it that way"
Practically all Of our public men
are very much interested in the labor
ing man because he belongs to an or
ganizaton that stands up for the in
terests of it's members. What would
happen if party was to declare for
a high tariff on beef, hides, wool, SUI
gar, eggs, etc., in order to make it
possible for the farmer to obtain suf-
ficient mocey on his farm products to
enable him TO enjoy the necessities
and comforts of life? The consumers
of farm products would snow the cam
dtdates of thai party under good and
deep.
The farmers have been hewers of
wood and drawers of water for CEN
turies. They nave hustled from early
till late to grow the greatest abun-
dalce of food and hive often sold it
below the cost of production, if fair
wages were allowed them. However,
the most intelligent farmers will in
tie future guard against over produc-
'ftion, and subsequent loss to the pro-
ducers, by limiting production. There
are laws against children working in
factories, and town and city laborers
work eight and ten hours per day
The farmers will before long send
their children to school for nine
months in the year, but when will
they cease to toll for from twelve to
fifteen hours per day if the prices OF
their products are to fall anywhere
near former levels?-The Progress

Weekend Spent in Lowell,
Manufacturing Centre.
Dear Advertiser

Dear Advertiser:
Since / have been up here South
Carolina seems to be vast farming
district dotted here and there with
towns, and Massachusetts, seems to be
one vast factory scattered over with
narrow stretches of soil scarcely seen
between the houses and factories. A
part of this net work of progress and
achievement is Lowell, Massachu-
sets, city about thirty miles from
Boston, where l spent the past week
end with Leland Powers friend. /
thought before there was no hospi-
tality like the Southern home afford
ed but l can not hold that opinion
any longer.
thought, from it's name, that
Lowell must have some connection
with the poet, James Russell Lowell,
since everything up here is tied up
with history and genius, but | found
that Lowell had more interest for the
Revolutionary investigator. l had
poited out to me a hill once used by
the Indians as a fortress and huge
tree planted by the Red Men and
other spots connected with the Indian
tribes. The school children of Massa-
chusetts have but to take look out
iiof their own: front windows toesee the
scenes of the battles and episodes
described in their history texts.
AS 1 was sitting in the theatre
looking at the movies, to my utter
surprise and joy, saw thrown upon
the screen the parade of the SOth
Division in South Carolina. Nothing
would have pleased me more than
perhaps a moving picture of Edge
field Square on some Saturday morn
ing, for there | would have seen peo-
pie that l knew. The Capitol was in
plain view and all the marching men,
and l can say that nobody in that
huge audience was so happy as | was,
unless, perhaps there was another
South Carolinian there, and even
then, l believe 1 would have been the
more gleeful of the two. | came
| to Boston to see some wonderful
sights, and after all, the finest thing
that have had the pleasure to view
was the parade of the 3Oth Division
in my own State Capitol. 1t reminds
me of what I have always known, that
ones native state is the greatest
state of the forty-eight--to her who
knows and loves it.

Era of Prosperity Facing Nc
Corniick.


Mccormick, April 17.-McCormick
seems to have taken on an after-the
war spirit of progressiveness and sew
eral new residences will go up in the
near future. Already M. G. Dorm and
y. ]. Dorm have well under way the
construction of "a handsome residence
in the northern part of town and 1t
is their intention to erect a number
of cottages in this part of town to
accommodate the increasing number
of homeseekers, some of whom have
had to stay away from here on ac-
count of lack of houses to live in.
J. S. Strom has employed an archi-
tect to draw plans for new resi-
dence in the western part of town on
Railroad Avenue, the erection OF
which will begin in the near future.
The members of the Pentecostal
Holiness Church, who were delayed IN
the erection of a new church during
/ the war, will soon finish their hand
some new building at cost OF sew
eral thousand dollars. The members
of this church are enthusiastic over
the building and are sparing no pains
or means to make it one of the hand
soonest churches in Mccormick.
Plans have been made for the
building of a church at Mccormick
by the Associate Reformed Presbyte-
rians. A committee has been appoint
ed to solicit subscriptions and already
more than $4,000 has been subscrib-
ed. Within a month a permanent pas
tor will be called by the congregation
and until the new church is complet-
ed services will be held in one of the
other church of the city. 1t is under
stood that modern church will be e.
rected at cost of several thousand
dollars.
Along with the erection of resi-
dences and churches the business OF
the town appears to be on the boom
also. The Mccormick telephone ex-
change recently moved into new quar-
ters facing Pine Street and has in
stalled modern equipment to meet
the growing demand for better tele-
phone service.
1. G. Harrison;;- mayor -of=McSos-
mick, recently purchased lot on the
corner of Pine and Clayton Streets
and has extended his garage, afford
ing excellent Accommodations for the
sale and repair of automobiles.
/ The Jay Clothing Company has let
a contract for the erection of mod
ern building to be used as a theatre
and moving picture show.
H. Druker recently purchased the
store room he occupies on Main
Street This is considered one of the
best locations for store in town and
is a two-story brick building. The
property belonged to NJ. /. B. Stur-
key and the price paid for it was S11,
600.
The postoffice at Mccormick has
long been unsatisfactory and it was
hard to obtain suitable quarters. A
contract has been let, however, and
new quarters have been secured on
Pine Street from the Peoples Bank.
New fixtures which will accommodate
the growing volume of business of the
office are being installed. The new
postmaster, Mrs. Zella Abercrombie,
who succeeded Postmaster j. A.
Stuart, recently resigned, has taken
charge of the office and almost imme-
diately her salary was raised by the
postofiice department.

Eric was delighted, as any boy should
have been. In fact he was so pleased
that he wanted to go and have his
photograph taken, so he could send
1T TO his Aunt Edie, who was away.
"He said that he wanted to have a
photograph taken of his new boots be-
fore they all wore out and he was
sure his Aunt Edie would be glad to
see what they looked like.
"Now that was the kind of modesty
which it is nice to see in boy. He
didn't say he wanted to have a pho
tograph taken of his face like so many
people would.
mo, he wanted to have a photo
graph taken of his boots-of us. That
was enough to make us proud, and
proud we should be.
'To be sure a photograph was not
taken of us at the photographers
shop, but they did take a picture of
us with a camera and it's going to
Erics Aunt Edie.
Eyes, we have been paid a great
compliment. We have had our picture
taken and there is boy who thinks
more of having photographs taken of
