In Japan there is said to be a very
satisfactory substitute for milk, just
rs the nut margarines are a substi-
tute for butter. Cows are very scarce
in Japan and the people are using
an artificial milk derived from the
soy bean. The bean is first soaked
and then boiled until the liquid
turns white, when sugar and phos-
boiling is resumed until the liquid
has the appearance of ordinary con-
densed milk. When water is added
soy milk is hardly to be distinguish
ed from fresh cows milk.

ACoSTLY FAILURE

Advocates of railroad standardization are declaring that the failure of the lines to function with required efficiency at this time proves thc necessity for government ownership.
 The final report of Swogcr ShcrIcy. the Railroad Administration director of ti- nance. furnishes the most convincing of all reasons why that policy would be disas- rous.
 The nations gross loss iu the operation %. tbc railroads during thc federal con,ro. was egOO~}1SO00
 or this amount S6775l3ooo was chargcab.c directly to the excess of opcr ume expenses over revenues and to ren- a's for "cass ouc" roads. Smaller lines. sleeping ear companies and inland water ways added s5II60O00 to this total
 And at tbc conclusion of the govern muts period of control and operation after nearly billion dollars had been Iost thc lines were turned over to their owners ina les, efficient state than when they were cumauJccrcd as a war emergency
 Ouc is tempted to speculate ou the re- suits that might have flowed from the pay- mm- to .bc roads of the billion that was wasted
 Suppose tbat amount had been set aside as ~rcyoIvu- fund" for thc purchase of locomotives. ears. rails ud other equp- mem. what would be rhe condition of the mc, odav

Negroes Held Under Serious
Charge.

Four negroes have been commit
ted to Jail from Johnston under a
very serious charge, one which if
proven, should cause them to receive
the maximum sentence under the
law. It is alleged that the negroes
wrote threatening letters to the own
ers of three public ginneries in that
vicinity notifying them to shut down
their gins. Such outlawry has appear
ed in several other States in the Cot
ton Belt but this is the first appear
ance in this county, and it is the wish
of the people that all such persons,
white or colored, be dealt with to the
fullest extent of the law. The people
of Edgefeld county will not tolerate
such acts of lawlessness and those
who are SO depraved as to resort to
means that will make an already bad
situation worse had as well under
stand it now. If the men who are
now in jail are guilty, and we under
stand that the circumstantial eyl-
denee is strong, they should be pun
ished according to the degree OF the
offense.

Are You a Good Husband?

Do you want to know whether you
are good husband or not? Do you
often wonder when your wife kneels
down to say her prayers at night
whether she is thanking God for hav-
ing bestowed you upon her as a life
partner or beseeching the Lord to
give her grace and strength to en-:
dure you? If you do check yourself
by these points:
Do you treat your wife with the
courtesy and consideration that you
show to any strange woman whom
you happen to meet at a dinner par
ty? You have quite a reputation
among the ladies for being gallant
and chivalrous. Do you keep that line
of conduct for society, or do you
hand it out also at home?
Do you remember your wife's birth
day and the anniversary of your
marriage, without having to be re,
minded of these august occasions!
And when you are reminded do you
throw few dollars into her lap and
tell her to get something for a pres,
ent, for you don't know what she
wants? Before you were married
you thought her little fancies impor-
tant enough to recollect. Do you oc-
casionally bring her bunch of vic
let, box of candy, or the book She
has said sne would like to read, just
to show her that you are thinking OF
of her?
women put an absurd valuation
on little attentions, and very few
of them planted along the matrimo,
NAL road make it primrose path to
a woman, instead of track through
an arid desert.
How do you talk to your wife? Dc
YOU speak to her in a manner that
ou/would not dare to use to a man
of your own size and weight? Do you
sneer at her opinions and tell hel
that she doesn't know what she is
talking about, and call her fool?
Do YOU yawn in the midst of hel
stories, and remind her that they are
ancient chestnuts and that she al
how?
Do you knock everything that she
ways misses the point of a joke any
does and enlarge with brutal cando1
on her faults and weakness?
Did you cease telling her that yor
loved her on your honeymoon, anc
has it been years and years since

12 o'clock when the wedding party
in attendance on the Clarke-Bon1ar

Illus Vann, Mrs. D. R. Day and Mrs

roses, and the pink color scheme was

les and festooning and the mints.

ed, fruit cocktail, salad course and

Miss Parker Entertains With
Lovely Party.

Tuesday afternoon at four o'clock
Miss Helen Tillman was the honor
guest at lovely party and miscella-
neous shower given by Miss Rosela
Parker at her home on Columbia
Avenue.
Everything was productive of hap
piness and mirth, and the colors,
pink and white lent charm to every
face and costume.
The color scheme in every room
was seemingly in combination to add
youth to those who had bade it
goodbye and to make more lovely,
the already beautiful.
The hostess, Miss Parker and Mrs.
Leslie Kernaghan greeted the guests
at the door and two fowerets in pink
and white, little Beulah Lee and
Margaret Asbill met the happy COM
ers and presenter them with lovely
favors tied with white ribbon and
on one side the afternoon musical
program. The guests entered the left
room and were registered by Mrs.
LaGrone and Miss Virginia Addison.
Here the lovely table was decorated
in pink and white roses and mints Of
the same color.
Across the hall the merriment con-
strained each one to hurry that they
might not miss "a moment of the
gayety to be afforded by contact
with congenial companionship.
The program was, first a piano
solo, "Love's Golden Dream," Miss,
Genevieve Norris.
Violin solo, 81 Love You Truly"
Miss Annie Wilson, accompanied on
the piano by Miss Ruth Lyon.
Vocal solo, GAIL For You," Miss
Ransford, with piano accompaniment
by Mrs. Hugh Mitchell.
In a few M pments there was the
sound of an aeroplane approaching,
but one Of melodious sound, and
leading it were Thomas Motto Ker-.
naghan and Virginia Holland follow
ed by little Beulah Lee and Marga-
ret Asbill, their arms full of love
gifts. The plane was a real one of
-diminutive size and bore beautiful
presents for the bride to be. One of
the entertaining features of the af-
ternoon was the reading of ways by
which husbands may be most easily
managed. The consensus of opinion
was to let them think they are having
their own way, and one even went
|so far as to say, let him have the
{ isisst sfHays been a.
woman prerog gative, for asSanother
said ga good man now a days is hard
to find"
The parlor was most tastefully
decorated in pink cosmos, the most
graceful of fall flowers.
After the aeroplane had taken
fight a jar of pink carnations was
brought in by two of the same little
fairies who had so gracefully fitted
about so airily during the whole oc-
casion and was presented to the hon
or guest.
AS an aftermath block cream in
pink and white was served by Misses.
Helen Nicholson and Isabelle Byrd
and mints by the fairies.
