PLAN TO ESTABLISH .
PARCEL-POST TRADE
important to Bring Consumer and
Producer Together.
Some Newspapers Run Special Adver.
Using Departments for Convent
ence of Both-Postmasters
Also Can Help Greatly.

One Of the most important require
ments in parcel-post marketing is the
bringing of the producer and the con-
sun er into business contact, say spe-
cialists of the United States depart
ment of agriculture This HAY be at
tanned by personal acquaintance,
through the acquaintance of third
ately selected paper, by personal cam
-, and through the post office in the
city or town in which a customer Is
sought.
Once a satisfactory parcel-post ousi-
ness is established with or through an
acquaintance, other customers are
likely to be secured through the first
one. Advertising frequently may bring
the producer into touch with pro-
spective purchaser. Some papers run
special parcel-post advertising de-
partment or section and brief but
wcll-worded advertisement often will
bring results.
Another method is for the producer
to make a personal canvass in resi-
dence section of the town or city Sc
lected. Good representative samples
Of the produce available at the time
doubtless will help to secure the first
sale.
The postmasters IN number of
cities of the country, under the direc-
ton of the post office department,
have instituted campaigns intended to
. foster parcel-post marketing. The
names and addresses Of producers, to-
gether with the produce offered, are
listed for distribution to the patrons
of the offices; and some of these post.
masters issue for distribution to pro.
ducers lists Of consumers who wish to

gible. In any case the initial cost nsod
not be great.
Every breeder should keep q strict
account of all items of expense and
income connected with his operations.
He should also know exactly what 1t
costs to produce pound OF rabbit meat
at the different ages from 2 months to
maturity and what is the average daily
cost of feeding rabbits at different
ages. The time required to do the ex-
ira work Of weighing, computing and
recording results Is well paid for by
the certainty that one has as to
whether he is gaining or losing. and
how much. The daily cost when all
feed is purchased, is not usually above
/ cent for a 10 or 12-pound rabbit.
Popular Systems Of Management
Two widely different systems Of
management are followed by American
rabbit breeders. Under the first sys-
TEN, which may be called hutch man
agement, the animals are confined In
small pens or hutches and obtain little
exercise This Is the more common
practice, and has the advantage of re-
quiring less room and probably Of
producing meat more rapidly. Under
the other system rabbits are given the
| freedom of open yards or runs, where
| they obtain abundant exercise, and are
| sheltered in small hutches or kennels.
This method promotes the general
| health of the animals and probably
| gives a better development for their
fur. It is especially adapted to the
southern part of the United States,
where there is a mild climate through
| out the year, and may be followed in
| the north during the summer months.

NN Christmas morning Deru-
Ghetto, charming young girl.
~ wrote the name of a man, Gill
iiatt, In the snow. Gilliatt, seeing the
name and knowing who wrote it, new
er forgot.
Gilliatt was young man Of doubt
ful birth and unpopular disposition
who lived by himself in an old wreck
of house in st. Sampson in the Isle
of Guernsey. He was fisherman;
also a carpenter, a wheelwright, sort
Of engineer when need be. He was
also a dreamer of dreams.
Deruchette lived with her uncle
Mess Lethierry, a man at once good
natured, intolerant superstitiOus and
progressive. In his wandering days
Lethierry had befriended Rantaine, an
adventurer who repaid this kindness
by running off with $4,000 francs of
Letherry's, the savings of forty years
and intended for Deruchette's dowry.
However, Lethierry had still his
steamboat, the Durande. She at least
would not fail him. Other steamboats,
cause of her wonderful engines. The
master of the Durande was Sieur Gu
hin, who had built up reputation for
high responsibility. He was capable
prudent seaman and wonderful swim
mer. Also he was man who knew
how to bide his time.
In one Of his trips to the main land
Clubin encountered the thief Rantaine
as he was about to leave the country
with a fortune of $4,000 francs. AT
the point Of a revolver Clubin took
from Rantaine the $4,000 francs, and
at once, although it was foggy, set
sail in the Durande for st. Sampson
The Durande was wrecked on some
rocks in the channel. Clubin disem-
harked his passengers and crew in the
long-boat. For himself, he would 60
down with his ship. The passengers
and crew, arriving safely in st. Samp-
son, were loud In their praise of the
heroic captain.
All Lethierry's hopes for Deruchette
had lain in the Durande. He besought
men to 90 out to the wreck to see II
there was hope for her or If Clubin re-
manned alive. They went, Gilliatt first
of all, and returned to report that no
Clubin was there and that the Durande
was hopelessly wrecked. Only her en-
gines remained intact.
Her engines! The word reused
Lethierry from his despair. Her en-
gines! His engines, which he had de-
signed himself! They We're the real
value Of the shipl If he could but re-
cover the engines! But how? What
man could devise the means to save
them? The superhuman being who
could do that, why-he should marry
Deruchette.
A man pushed his way through the
crowd surrounding Mess Lethierry and
his niece. 'You would marry him to
Deruchette?" said the man. 1t was
Gilliatt.
Mess Lethierry raised a solemn
hand. II pledge myself to 1t in Gods
namew
Next day Gilliatt set sail. With ex.
traordinary skill he maneuNered to the

ALL is NOT HARMONY
WITH C. o. P.

If you think the Republicans are
not scrapping among themselves in
the Presidential campaigns read this
from recent speech Of Senator Bo-
rah in Congress:

cy-that the men who are managing
Gen. Woods campaign are proposing
to control the Republican convention
through the use of vast expenditures
of money, and | waive my privilege
here upon the floor when | say it.
Why are they spending hundreds of
thousands and which will in turn run
into millions except to control the
convention?"
Then up jumped Senator Moses, of
New Jersey, who said:
"Thc friends of Gen. Leonard
Wood intend to nominate him and
eject him, and we shall not be balk-
ed by rhetoric"
Then Brother Borah got back at
the Wood man with this body blow:
mo; you can not be balked with
rhetoric. If you used simply rhetoric,
/ would not object to it. 1t is the
other thing that you are proposing
to use am objccting to.

NO DANGER OF PANIC

There is plenty of money in the

nonsense according to statements of
well informed business men. In a
convention held in Warrington by the
Presidents of big insurance COM
panies, Mr.. J. Z. Hedges, general
cousseI of the inurancc companies
said:
IF the life insurance business is
any index there is certainly no panic
in sight in the United States.
"The people Of the United States,
said Hedges, "are buying twice as
much life insurance as they did in
1918, the previous record year, and
the business is cash in advance.
"This years new business alone
will be greater than the total Of life
insurance in existence in the country

Treacherous, Dangerous Calomel

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on slug
gish liver. When calomcl comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing cramping and Nausea
IF you feel bilious, hcadachy, con-
Stipatcd and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get bottle of
nodson's Liver Tone for a few cents
which is a harmless vegetable sub
Stitutc for dangerous calomel. Take
a spoonful and if it doesn't start
your liver and straighten you up
better and quicker than nasty calo-
mel and without making you sick,
just 90 back and get your money.
If you take calomcl today you'll be
sick and nauSeated tomorrow; be-
sides, it may salivate you, while if
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full of
ambition and ready for work or play
It's harmless, pleasant and safe to
give to children; they like it.

A PLEA FOR MORE CORN

Clemson College, May 22.-The
latest report of the South Carolina
Field Agent of the Bureau Of Crop
Estimates, Mr.. b. B. Hare, shows an
Indicated wheat yield of l,801 900
bushels for this state, or $4,000 less
than last year. Two per cent. of the
acreage Sown has been abandoned
The winter wheat acreage for the
United States is 81, 65 900 against
l0,"O5, 900 last year, and the estimat-
ed production is 1913 per rent. less
than last year
In view of this great reduction in
acreage and alarming shortage i'm
production, w. w. Long, director of
the Extension Service, feels that
prompt and decided action be taken
toward larger crop in this state to
help meet the emergency. He is
therefore sending out widely thru
the state the following message in
the hope that South Carolina may
uOt be caught without food this fall
Fortunately it is not yet too late to
save the day.
Reports just received from Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
Indicate 81 per cent. reduction in
wheat production this year. Unless
something is done to meet this situa-
ton, -four will be on same basis as
during the war, with this difference,
we were then blessed with large corn
yields. Owing to unfavorable weather
conditions and the natural incentive
to grow cotton on account of pres
ent high price and fear of the wider
spread of the wccvil within the next
few years, we are liable to have dis
tressingly short corn crop.
81 am sending this information to
farmers, bankers, merchants, cotton
seed crushers and newspapers, so
that our farmers, even at this late
date may be urged to increase their
acreage in corn. If this is done we
can largely increase, our food supply
and thereby save a serious situation

gest county meetings of prominent
farmers, bankers and merchants to
consider the situation. Money with
