in the organization OF Bull Associa-
ton Mr.. La master is one of the best
Bull association men in the country
and with his aid we will organize one
of the best Bull associations in the
State. South Carolina now has four
teen bull associations and Mr.. LaMas-
ter states that this section of South
Carolina is rapidly becoming known
as Guernsey center. This means
that Guernsey breeders both old and
new, will soon be coming here to buy
purebrcd Guernsey cattle, that we can
get orders for cattle by the carload.
The only thing to do in order to be
able to get these orders is to have the
cattle to sell, and the best means of
getting these cattle, as well as the
cheapest way, is to organize one or
two bull associations in Clarendon.

Buy Your Coal Direct >
From Mine-Bix Saving

The high cost Of coal Is q thing O,
the past! At least. there are no com
plants on this account-since the re-
moval Of government restrictions
among those who have learned how to
buy coal. The way to buy coal is to
get 1t direct from the mines. This
saves several middlemen's profits. It
saves hauling expenses. Anyone can
now buy at mine prices. whether q car
load buyer or one who uses only ten
or fifteen tons year. This has
been made possible through a plan
evolved by large and old-estab-
lished concern, THE BERNICE COAL
COMPANY. with main Offices at
Como Building, Chicago.
This company has thousands of Gus
toners in various sections Of the
United States who receive all of their
coal direct from the mines. These Gus
toners are pleased not only because
OF the many dollars they save every
year, but also because of the quality
of coal they are getting. Many write
that they never before had coal that
makes so little dust. that burns SO
well, leaving so few ashes IF you arc
q coal user-whether you use hard or
soft coal. much or little--it will be
greatly to your advantage to write tho

HeZeklah, few months later

crisply, daintily. demurely- lovely as
ever.
Hezekiah had thought he liked
fair or red-haired girls, and that he
admired the buxOm type. NJ. l.. V
was of the slight, dark type. You
might have called her japanese, be-
cause her eyes were q little almond
shaped and her complexion was clear
F and pale, and her hair was smooth
and dark. Straightway Hezekiah re.
,vised all his former meditations on
the subject of his ideal
Hezekiah felt detected. He was
quite sure that he would have to make
M. l.. VS. acquaintance some time
some way.
But If she were young woman of
wealth-and she was obviously q
person Of much education, for she
had been reading "Rabindranath Ia.
gore" before, and now she was
deep in a French book, even the name
of which was too much for Hezekiah-
what show had he? For the first
time Hezekiah felt contempt for the
business that his grandfather had
bequeathed upon him.
She would no doubt like him better
II he were doctor or lawyer or
q college professor. He thought for
a moment, not rapidly but intently.
Hezekiah seldom came to quick con-
clusions, but he usually came to wise
4 ones.
In business he had the reputation
of being as slow as any man In the
field, and as sure. II was the sort OF
slowness that fascinates you with Its
security and stability.
When Hezekiah had come to this
conclusion on this occasion he sum-
moned the porter to him, and covert
ly handed him a dollar. "See here.
Rastus," he said, ~ want you to
forget that I'm q drummer. ] want
YOU to call me professor I've a

made a larger total gain and larger

sumed more corn, bNt less tankagc

expected from the total gains, the
settled hogs required less feed to
make 100 pounds OF gain than the

ton OF 10 to one more tankage than
they required to balance a ration, if
the appetites and the gains of the

tor that conclusion. Apparently, the
