Ways to Better Live Stock.

ways 10 Bettef Live STOCK.
From an analysis Of enrolment re-
cords in the "Better Sires-Bettcr
Stock" campaign during the first
three months, the United States De-
partment of Agriculture presents
figures showing that the use of pure
bred sires appears to lead automat-
ically to ownership of well-bred
female stock also.
Summing up the factors which will
hasten livestock improvement and
bring many benefits, the department
makes the following requests of live
stock owners:
Use purebred sires of good quality
in all classes of live stock. Dispose
of scrub, grade, and inferior purebred
sires.
Keep breeding records. Many excel
lent animals Of pure breeding have in
the past been forced to rank as grades
or scrubs owing to lack of records.
Join an active livestock association
and attend fairs, exhibitions, and judg
ing contests where well-bred animals
of good typo are shown.
Read good agricultural literature,
including lives X and farm papers.
The Departm> of Agriculture and
the various Scates will send helpful
bulletins on request.
Cooperate with your county agent,
your agricultural college, and other
constructive forces in improving the
quality of live stock in your commun-
ity.
Better live stock aids the breeder
both in direct returns and by giving
a locality favorable reputation. The
sum total Of all improvement, of
course, advances the international
standing of the United States with re-
spect to it's live stock and livestock
products.

Graded Eggs Bring Premium.

Eggs from the Pacific coast in large
amounts were first shipped across the
continent to the New York City mar
ket two years ago. Now they are
bringing a premium of from Ito 2
cents, according to market quotations.
That this is due to the strict grad
ing practiced by the shippers of the
Far West is the belief of men in the
Bureau Of Markets, United States De
partmcnt of Agriculture. The reputa-
tion for careful grading which the
westerncrs have attained in other pro-
ducts shipped east has spread to in
clude eggs.

ing, is not in the dictionaries. Nobody
knows whether it is one word, two
words, or a hyphenated word. "Over-
rum" a term widely used to express
the thing that is practically the de-
termining factor of profits in cream
cry establishments, is unknown to the
dictionaries. standardized" "trap
nest" and any number of other COM
monty used terms, understood well
enough by agriculturists. remain un-
defined for the accurate information
of the general public.
The United States Department of
Agriculture, through the joint efforts
Of the Bureau Of Animal Industry and
the Division of Publications, has be-
gun movement to standardize the
use of such terms, and about 80 of
them are on the griddlc now. Three
points of view are takcn-that of the
field man who knows the common us
age of the layman, that of the scient-
lst who has the view point of the
"I'N i''iSe, anu lIlc I(OlnI Oh vie" LlaJ
looks merely to the use Of good Eng
lish. Each word is submitted to the
various cli,.scS of persons interest
ed, together with the proposed US
age and the authority or lack Of au-
thority for it. From the suggestions
received in reply, the finally approved
usage will be determined.
The first agricultural term to be
acted upon in the manner described
was "corn belt" That was considered
more appropriate than corn-bclt or
cornbclt.
Although the principal purpose is
to cstablishe approved usage for De-
partmcnt Of Agriculture publications
lists of terms evolved will be furnish
cd later to dictionary editors with the
view Of obtaining uniform national
usage. The cooperation Of agricul-
tural experts and editors is invited.

New Turpentine Project.

New Turpcntine Project.
The Forest Service of the United
States Department Of Agriculture has
recently issued permit to Port
land, Greg, turpentine company to
extract pitch from 100 acres of Doug
las fir on the Umpqua National For
est. This company is pioneering in a
new industry, which, if successful,
will increase the value OF Douglas fir
and also materially add to the coun-
try's waning supply Of turpcntinc.
The plan is to bore into old and pitchy
Douglas frs for the rOsin stored in
the cracks and seams Of trees that
have been wrenchcd by the wind. The
product thus secured will be manu-
factured into turpentine and rosin.

To Open New Primary
Class In City School

Miss Martha Willis, of Shelbyville,
KY, will arrived Sunday to take
charge of the new primary grade of
the city school which is to be estab-
hshed at the Furlow grammar school
to relieve the congested condition now
existing in the two primary sections.
The new class, which is to be OPEN
ed Monday morning, will be housed
in the brick building in the rear of
the Furlow school building, which was
originally built for a bicycle house.
This structure, which has a concrete
floor, has heretofore been used for
domestic science purposes, but it has
been retitted for the express purpose
OF making it comfortable and suit
able for the little pupils, and it is
said 1t will provide a commodious
extra class room. When the problem
OF housing the extra class came up
recently it was suggested that part of
the building on the city playground,
which is directly under the supervision
OF the Board of Education, be used,
but certain objections were raised
by citizens and the plan was aban-
doned, the solution mentioned being
reached.
Miss Willis, who is an experienced
primary teacher, will make her home
with Mr.. and Mrs. Neon Buchanan.

NO FLU HERE And
NONE.ISEXPECTED
Four Cases Last Fall, But
Were Not Allowed
to Spread

While the flu has made its appear
ance in other sections of the coun-
try, principally the North, where
snow and ice and sleet abound-and
will continue to abound for weeks
the disease has not made it's appear
ance in Sumter county, and health
experts are not apprehensive of it
this year, it having delayed its com
ing so long and winter now being
nearly past. Some fifty cases are
reported in Macon, and the city
health officer there is advising the use
of the anti-fiu serum, but the malady
has made its appearance practically
nowhere else in the state.
THE winter is almost over, and
there is little or no danger of infiu-
enza here" said DIR. Bond, county
health officer, today. "With the end
of this rainy spell, which we may ex-
pect shortly, our people will be out
IN the open air again, and influenza
can't make much headway against
plenty of fresh air and outdoor liv-
ing"
Last fall, according to DIR. Bond,
four isolated cases of what was dag
nosed as influenza were reported in
Sumter county, but precautionary
measures were used in handling them
and there was not the slightest
spread.
The fact that the disease is ap-
pearing in milder form than last
year, with considerably lower death
rate, has reduced its terrors in those
communities where it has taken
foothold this winter.

MANCET FIXES
DRUG PRICES

Local Price Commission
Expected To Be Or
ganized Shortly

The fair price commission for the
Americas district will begin function
ing shortly, according to advices just
received here from John A. Manget,
Of Atlanta, fair price commissioner
for Georgia. A few weeks ago NOM
nations for the committee here were
mailed to Mr.. Manget by Mayor
Sheppard, at the formers request,
but up to this time neither the men,
bers named by Mr.. Sheppard nor the
mayor himself have heard from Mr..
Manget on the subject. However,
o bulletin just issued by Mr.. Manget
from his Office in Atlanta gives the
information that schedule of prices
for drug stores, which became effec-
tive in Atlanta January %, will be-
come effective for the entire State on
February 1, to be modified only by
the district committees. In addition,
The Times-Recorder has received the
following telegram from Mr.. Manget:
"Times-Recorder, Americas,
Ga.-Will you assist your gov
ernment and the people of Geor-
gia in the effort being made to
secure necessities of life at fair
prices by giving publicity to
prices fixed and orders issued by 4
the fair price commission? We
wish to require all dealers in |
necessities in Georgia to get
their instructions and informa-
tion from the nearest big coop

Orders Expected Here.
Mr.. Manget has been informed that
The Times-Recorder will print the
commissions prices and orders. In
structions for organization and ac-
tion are now being awaited by the
Americus appointees so that they
may begin to function. 1t is said that
the business houses making legiti-
mate profits will have nothing to
fear from the commissions, since
all lines of business in which prices
will be regulated will be represented
on the body, along with representa-
tves of the public, and only fair"
prices are sought. Following is the

Retail prices on prescriptions have
been fixed by John A. Manget, fair
price commissioner for Georgia, fol-
lowing an agreement reached by him
with representatives of the Atlanta
retail druggists and the scale thus
arrived at has been taken as the
basis for the retail druggists of the
State. One hundred per cent profit is
allowed on the cost of ingredients
used in prescriptions, while a COM
pounding fee of 80 cents is also al
lowed in cases where compounding is
necessary. Mr.. Manget's order COW
sring the matter follows:
Manget's Order.
Effective Wednesday, a. M,
January %, the druggists of Atlanta
will sell prescriptions from proprie-
tary medicines, which comprise about
SO per cent of all prescriptions and
only require counting or measuring
from one container to another, at
double their cost. For example,
pills, tablets, liquids, etc, costing
druggists at wholesale 8 cents for
what is used in prescription, will
be sold at 18 cents; that costing 25
cents will be sold for so cents.
"For prescriptions that require
compounding the druggists may
charge a fee of 80 cents and double
the cost of the ingredients and con-
tainer. For example, on a prescrip-
ton that contains one-half cents
worth of drugs placed in three-cent
bottle, the retail price would be 81
cents. Recently for two such pre-
scriptions one druggist charged 35
cents, another 40 cents, six others
@harged rs cents and one charged
u for the two prescriptions which
cost him a total of 8 cents for in
gradients and containers and four
minutes time of the clerk.
''These prices are for delivery at
the drug store. If consumer requires
delivery at home, druggists may
charge Is cents additional, but
where more than one prescription is
delivered to same address at the
same time, only one delivery charge
may be made. In very rare cases
Ingredients will cost considerable.
Consumers are urged to get price
and if one druggist seems unreason-
ably high, to try another, as these
prices are maximum and may be cut
by competition just as many grocery
stores are selling articles on which
