The Terrible Future.

"What's the matter?"
"I'm terribly worried about the fu-
ture."
"Why fret about The future?"
"It's this way: I'm not making very
much money. I'm just going along the
ordinary way without piling up any
thing that looks like a fortune"
"Well, why worry? You're happy,
aren't you?"

Takinu After Mother.

Bert just came home from college
and he had a shadow" on his upper
lip. He stopped to say Hello" to his
grandfather.
His grandfather looked him over
and said, "Why, son, you look more
like your mother every day"
"What makes you think SOP" asked
Bert.
"Why because your father had Il

AUTO BRAKE IS
OFTEN MISUSED
Should Be Frequently Inspected
to Insure Proper Protection
to Machine.
QUICK STOPS ARE HARMFUL
Effect on Car Is Not Such as to In
crease Its rviceabiIity-Many
Accidents Could Be Avoided
by OverhauIng.

An automobile is entitled to the
same protection as a home. If one
ar the other is in danger of being
destroyed or damaged immediate steps
should be taken to prevent the pos
sible loss.
AS regards the automobile the
greatest measure of protection is in
good brakes. They should 0e regu-
Aarly examined and adjusted. The
brake Innings are woven asbestos and
copper wire and while nOnburnable
they will wear in correspondence with
their judiCiOus use or abuse. The
brakes must be so adjusted that the
Innings bear evenly and with the same
pressure on the brake drums.
Unfortunately the average driver
does not use his brakes with any de-
gree Of discretion. He knows that
they will stop the car and as n con-
sequence keeps moving at his accus-
toned rate Of speed until almost
abreast Of the point where he wishes
to bring the machine TO a stop. Then
the brakes are suddenly applied and
the car abruptly stopped. The aver
age motor car weighs in the neighbOr-
hood Of 5000 pounds or more, and to
bring this much weight to a sudden
stop when travelling ten miles an hour
or better requires the eXertion of some
pressure. 1t not only tends to wear
the break out faster than necessary,
but the effect on the car as a whole
is not such as to increase its service
ability.
Many of the accidents that occur
today could be avoided if the owner
would but take a few minutes time
every week or ten days to himself
examine, or have it done for him, the
braking system of his car. Perhaps
the last time that it became neces-
sary to apply the brakes suddenly
they functioned properly but when
needed again in an emergency were
found inefficient. Collisions many
times occur because the brakes fail
to work.
One way to insist upon good, brakes
Is for the police department when
investigating an accident to examine
the brakes of the car or cars con-
cerned and If they are found to be
inefficient make this prima facie evil
dence of the guilt of the driver of
the car. MotOrmen on the street cars.
though they use the air brake the
greater portion of the time, are re-
quired at fire stops to use the hand
brake. This Is not because the hand
brake is more efficient than the air,
but to insure that 1t is in servlceable
condition If 1t should become neces-
sary to use 1t on account Of the fail
ure OF the air. Certainly If this is
good policy on a street car the same
attention should be good for the mo-
tor car, be it passenger car or truck.
When they are running about the
streets Of the city with faulty means

In case Of necessity they are source
Of danger not only to the occupants of
the car itself, but to the other users

Stale Goods.

"This sword is very Old" said the
curio dealer. "In fact, it is over a
hundred years old"
"Indeed" said the customer.
"Aye. 1t came from the battle of
Waterloo-that was in the year 1915,
sil-and there's an anecdote goes with
it,"
The customer listened patiently
while the old man recounted the story.
Then, at the conclusion, he returned
the sword to its owner.
"Thank you! That was very in
teresting, and l quite enjoyed it," he
replied kindly. "But, unfortunately, l
bought that same anecdote once be-
fore with an old musket!"

FOWLS GET LAZY IN SUMMER
Some Hens Are SO Inactive That They
Do Not Earn Their Feed During
Hot Weather.

AS a rule hens do not show great
activity during hot weather, but there
are some which become so lazy that
they are pot worth their feeding. Those
are the hens that cut down their egg
yield. Hot weather is worse for hens
than cold weather, for during the
winter months a hen with. any life In
her will busy herself to keep warm.

GOOD SHELTER FOR TURKEYS
Plain, Substantial House of Shed-Roof
Type, Dry and Ventilated Is
Recommended.

A plain, substantial house of the
shed-roof type, dry, amply lighted and
well ventilated, is the better way for
providing shelter for turkeys.
Such a house simplifies the keeping

DEPENDENT ON GOOD ROADS
Many Farm Crops Must Be Hauled
Some Distance to Railroad Sta

Farming is essentially dependent oil

whatever is not produced on the farm
must be hauled to the farm, and many
crops of the farm must be hauled

Refuse to Take the Money.

Two Senators and four members OF
the House of Representatives have de-
clined to accept the extra pay voted
for the legislators by the recent Cen
eral Assembly. The Senators and
Members have dubbed themselves in
a few cases, conscientious objectors. u
They opposed the appropriation of ad-
ditional pay for legislators during the
General Assembly session, and they
take the position now that they do not
feel justified in taking the extra pay
checks. They have returned to the
clerks of the two branches the checks
sent them as overtime"
It is understood that Speaker Goth
ran and Representatives Mower of
Newberry, Meares of Fairfield, and
Buckingham of Aiken, have returned
their extra checks. Senators John
stone Of Newberry, and McColl of
Marlboro, are the members of the up
per branch who saw fit not to accept
the money.

Americans in Armenia.

Alarming reports of conditions in
| Armenia have been brought to Con
stantinople by officers of the American
mission for relief in the Near East
The American people seem to have be-
come discouraged at the inability Of
the allies to provide for them A man
date was declined by the United
States, and the supreme council giving
up the problem as insoluble offered the
mandate to the league of nations,
which has no machinery for such an
executive task. Thus the Armenans
are left in doubt and confusion. They
are at odds with the French over the
question of the frontier, and they have
fears that the inability of the allies
TO agree on a policy will leave them to
the tender mercies Of the Turks.
The plight of Armenia is made worse
by the steady encroachments of bolshe
yism in the Near East. The soviet
forces lately occupied Baku, and have
control of Azerbaiian, of which it is
the capital; Georgia also is said to
have made terms with Moscow. Aver
baijan since 1918 had been dominated
by Turkish elements and of late had
been at war with Armenia. All these
conditions lead to the fear that Ar
menia itself, unable to get protection
from the western powers, may follow
the example of its neighbors and enter
into relations with the soviets, which
are making a strong bid for the friend
ship Of aggrieved and discontended ma
tionslities.

MAY BE DAYS YET
 BEFORE WATER GOES
 OVER ROOSEVELT DAM

Saturday came and went. but the great Roosevelt reservoir failed to rise to the last notch and flow over the dam, as had been expected Falling temperatures and the resultant slowing of the flow of melted snow into the reservoir checked the rise of the water.
 It was said at the Water Users building yesterday that the reservoir water probably would not flow over the dam for several days, probably not before tomorrow night or Tuesday, and possibly later, ss 1t is impossible to estimate. The rise of the reservoir depends upn the weather conditions in the Roosevelt lake district Warm weather would hasten the dams over flow, and colder Weather would check it for several days
 Yesterday morning the reservoir held 223.96 feet of water, lacking a little more than a foot of being filled to the brim. The rate of rise fell to 5000 acre feet increase. an appreciable fall ing off. the result of the colder weather. This slackening in the rate of rise is expected to continue, and probably still further deceases. making it sev- eral days before the reservoir over flows.
