Wednesday, November IL.

two en- route from the mine.
Socks are getting cheap enough to
don again and too cheap to darn.
Dry goods quotations show that
sheeting is declining to the former
price of shirting.
The stork, always a welcome visi-
tor, seems to be making Edgefield
ITS headquarters right now.
It is altogether fitting that the first
president of the League OF Nations
should be Belgian.
Under wheat is mighty good
place for cotton seed as long as the
prices range around forty cents.
A certain Virginia railroad is like
some individuals we know. 1t spent
Iast year $1.03 for every $1.0o it
made.
With apples still selling for a big
( nickel each, the apple grower is IN
better plight than the cotton grow
er.
Senator Harding will soon have
new occupation-that of cabinet
maker. Wonder if they'll require him
to join the union?
Should not man provide as good
shelter for his faithful horse as he
: does his Ford? Let the owners ans
wer.
The biggest liar in Edgefeld coun-
fy is the paterfamilias who says he
doesn't mind getting up and making
the fire these crisp mornings.
The sower should go forth to sow
these November mornings in order
that he may become reaper when
the May and June mornings come.
In order to stimulate food produc-
tion, The Advertiser has great mind
TO offer a prize to the farmer max
ing the longest chain of sausages.
Keep the boys and girls in school
and in college, cost what it may. No
sacrifice is too great when it IS made
for the education of the youth OF the

It's true that many of our far
mers, like the rest of us, have de-
fiated purses, but they have we'll fill
ed corn cribs. So let's think on the
latter when inclined to be blue.
1t is we'll nigh criminal to send
money away to mail order houses
now. Dollars are few and getting
fewer. Let's keep every penny at
home possible.
Learn a lesson from the present
practice of the little barnyard hen
IN keeping up the price of your pro-
aace by holding the supply well with
N the demand.
if you are going to live at home,
as many farmers have resolved to
do next year, start by sowing suffi-
.ient wheat to bread the family. Af-
ter few weeks it will be too late to
make your biscuits at home.
Certainly at time like this, there
Is no place for the liquor maker or
liquor dealer. They are both outlaws
and should be dealt with severely
when caught. Every dollar is needed
now in legitimate channels.
Want to know what is making the
price of cotton go down? Farmers
have to sell and the mills do not have
20 buy. There is world of differ
ence between an eager and an in
different or unwilling purchaser.
On the surface the decline in
prices MAY seem to be of benefit to
hose of US who live from tin cans
md paper bags. But we of that class
have proportionately less to buy
With, so after all there is no turn OF
fortune in our favor.

Let everything go but your hohor'
