Every year thousands of men and
women seriously i'll are turned away
from church hospitals because of lack
of room. The chiidren's homes are
compelled to turn away more children

conditions that during the next year
at least 100000 sick will be refused
admission to church hospitals in the
United States because they are over
crowded. The appropriations in the

A Modern Instance

My neighbor, Swatson, pass
ing wise, believed in lots OF
exercise. He took long tramps
through dales and dells, and
swung huge clubs and iron bells,
and all his frame was hard as
nails; he was a model for. all
males. And he would come to
me and say, "Why do you loaf
the livelong day? You are too
fat for any use; for such a waist
there's no excuse. Why don't
you walk twelve miles or nine.
and have a shapely form like
mine?" And he is dead and in
his grave, while I sit here and
sing and rave. He was SO blithe
three weeks ago! Then came
the flu and laid him low. The
same disease mixed things with
me, and lost its pep and had to
flee. The rules of health are tire
some stuff +; they make life's
shedding doubly rough, and |
have always let them slide, and
I hang on, where health fans
died. I do not sit up, in distress,
to count the symptoms | pos
sess. A dozen scouts, and more
than that, have told me I'm too
beastly fat; l ought to follow
where they led-aud | hang on,
and they are dead. | eat too
much, and l despise all modern
forms of exercise; and still live
and write my verse, while wiser
men engage the hearse.

Daylight Saving by Early Rising.

To the Editor OF the star:
wish to express publicly my hearty
approval of your editorial on Daylight
Saving" which appeared recently in
The Star. Your suggestion that those
who long for more day light should go
to bed earlier and rise an hour earlier
is a rational and radical prescription for
the newborn unnatural desire. 1t will
save the reputation of our faithful old
clocks and inspire the hazy spirit of the
faddist by glimpse at the novel spec
tacle Of rising sun and the sparkling
dew.
Instead Of compelling our local time
pieces to lie constantly by the hour,
your suggestion would cause the drowsy
biped to set his alarm for the enjoyment
of another hour Of the most refreshing
daylight and bring him from his habit
ual dead level at to an exhilarating
living perpendicular at am.

TEST NEW AFRICAN VARIETIES
AS TO ADAPTABILITY TO u. S.

Sixteen hundred lots of seed and
plants of African fruits, vegetables,
grains, and flowers not common to
this country have been sent to the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture for a test as to their adap-
liability to American soil as result
of a trip made by DR.. H. L. Shantz,
as agricultural explorer. DR.. Shantz
accompanied the Smithsonian-Afri-
can EXPEDITION, which made a tour
of interior Africa from Cape Town
to Cairo, penetrating the Orange Free
State, the Transvaal, the Congo, East
Africa, the Sudan, and Egypt, with
side trips to other parts of the CONT
nent and adjacent islands.
Among the many new crops, one
that is viewed with interest is a gourd
2 feet long which contains 2 gallons
succulent seed about the size of an
almond. The meat of these seeds re-
sembles that of the butternut in taste
and in addition to their possibilities as
a nut substitute they are rich in oil.
Many new kaffir corns and sorghums,
as we'll as grasses, suitable for the
semiarid West as we'll as the pine
lands of the south, some excellent
new mangoes, number of oil plants,
some dry-land rice. and number of
grains and grasses are among the
specimens. The department has
found that several crops which flour
ish in central Africa are adapted to
the southern parts of the southwest
ern United States. The American
Egyptian cotton and Sudan gsass are
among the noteworthy acquisitions
as result of previous expeditions.

COUNTY DAMAGE.

Block after block of muddy streets
in many Georgia-Alabama towns and
cities are paved with bales of cotton.
Usually these bales lie on edge, al
though the style seems to vary. In
some places they lie flat on the
ground, in some they stand on end.
This cotton has passed out of the
hands of the grower and is now in
the hands of buyer who is waiting
to pass it on to the next man. But
note this buyers facilities for hand
ling such a valuable crop. No one
knows better than the cotton buyer
that cotton is perishable. No one
storage will result in severe losses.
knows better than he that this street
But he takes a chance on passing
these losses on to the next fellow.
The damage resulting from this
lack of warehousing is called "coun-
try damage" But see where much
of it actually occurs-not on the
farms, but in the towns and cities,
1t has already left the hands of the
grower.
Who is the loser? Not the mills.
They require that the damaged cot
ton be removed before they buy.
What about the man in between the
mill man and the grower? By rea-
son of this system, he must of neces-
sity deduct enough from the price
he should pay the grower to enable
him to bear this loss if he is to re-
main in business. So, after all, the
grower really pays for country dam
age that occurs in town or city.
Il is more to the interest of the cot
ton grower than to any other man
that adequate warehousing facilities
be established in every town where
cotton is bought. In many cases, the
farmers may have to organize CO.
operative association and build their
own warehouse. Whatever may be
necessary to do, do it. Get bonded
warehouses at every trading point
sufficient to take care of the average
crop. There has been enough said
about it. Let's do it.-Progressive
Farmer.

WHY is A SCRUB?

Five dollars worth of iron made
into horseshoes sells for ten dollars,
but made into hair springs for
watches it sells for more than a mil
hon dollars. Feed and roughage
converted into scrub cattle bring
only a moderate return, but con-
verified into purebreds, they bring as
tonishing prices. Change your feed
stuff into purebreds."
Why put your good feed into a
scrub that is worth only $4,000 at
year old
When you could put the same feed
into a purebred and sell it for
$4,000?
Why pay $500 for scrub bull
that is worth less than 5000
When you can get purebred bull
for $4,000 that is worth $4,000
on 25 cows?
Why breed scrubs that will kill
out only As to As per cent
When you can breed pure breds
that will kill out from So to Ga per
cnet?
Why use a scrub bull that sires
non-descript bunch of measley
calves
When you can use pure bred
bull that will sire calves of uniform
color, size and conformation that
will please the eye of the buyer
thereby putting more money in your
pocket?-W. J. Shelly, in Clemson
