Continue to Trade is the Sensi lie
Solution

(From The Florida Metroplolis)
When the pickle bother said to the
milk operator, "Your price is bounc
to come down, therefore am going
to quit using condensed milk until it
does," at that very moment an idea
was put into operation which has done
more to hold off normalcy than any
other step that could possibly have
been taken. The milk evaporation i'm
mediately said: "Well ] think the
price of pickles is exhorbitant and l
will quit buying them until there is
general reduction"
The milkman was then forced to
cut down on his output and strike
per centage of his workmen from the
payroll, which naturally transferred
them to the ranks of the unemployed.
1t was only a short while before the
pickler was forced to follow suit
Then the popcorn man found hope
in what the milkman had to say about
the price of pickles, and was overjoy-
ed when he heard the pickler make
the prediction that the price of milk
would be reduced shortly, ard he de-
cided to use neither milk or pickles
until the prices decended to a pre-war
basis.
The milkman and the picker had
both been in the habit of buying pop
corn for the kids, but with business
hitting some and missing great deal
they came to the conclusion that the
wise policy was to quit buying pop
corn until their businesses became
normal again, or at least until the
Price of popcorn was less.
The is the status of "hard times
in a nutshell. The illustration can
be applied to cover practically the
whole nation, and while this innocent
appearing boycott continues there can
be no sensible plan of resdjustment
worked out. Examples are generally
unsatisfactory in the business world.
Cooperation is far more effective; and
if the milkman and the pickle man
had agreed to make earnest efforts
to reduce their prices, at the same
time continuing to trade with each
other, and if the popcorn man had
been taken into the plan, the only SEN
sible initial step would have been
taken.
In other words, this idea Of wait
ing to buy" is not the proper course
to follow. "Buy now" and at the
same time do all in your power to en-
courage a return to normal times
whatever they are, and let this thought
be extended to all classes and long
move has been made in the right dl-
rection.

FOREST PROTECTION

Wisconsin is a state richly endOW-
ed by nature to be great playground
Upwards of 5000 inland lakes, more
than $500 trout streams, summer
climate equal to that Of California in
the winter, fall forest coloring
among the pines, hemlocks and mixed
hardwoods uneQualled the country
over, and the scenic east, west and
northern borders point to this as a
region of superior recreational oppor-
tunities. South of us are millions
of people who long for these wooded
lake shores, the quiet of the forest,
or the health building qualities of
| Wisconsin air and water during the
summer months.
Trees and woods are intimately
connected with the life out of doors.
| The tourist to our state looks for the
green forest; not forest brown and
bare, the result of recent forest fire.
To protect and keep green the woods
| of the state means more satisfaction
! to the tourist within our borders and
insures an increase in the number of
summer visitors to the state. A more
pleasant and profitable line of bust
ness it would be hard to locate.
The tourist himself should be eau
toned about being careless with fire
in the woods. His carelessness has
resulted in many damaging forest
fires. Forest fringed lakes or streams
are his delight. Let him help, along
with all others, to keep our lakes and
streams and camp sites green, by pro-
tecting the forest. Forest protection
is to his interest as it is to ours.

Temperature Of Leaves.

Some recent investigation of the
temperature of leaves made in the
deserts and mountains Of Arizona and
in the Santa Lucia mountains of Cal
ifornia have resulted in the discov-
cry that leaves show very rapid
change of temperature at times. These
fluctuations are almost constantly go
ing on. Changes OF from / to 3 de-
grees centigrade were observed in from
twenty to sixty seconds, and if 4
moderately strong wind is blowing the
change may amount to 5 degrees in
thirty seconds.

There is one day every year that the Ameri-
can people should devote observance to in the same
spirit that lay in the hearts of the men for whom
Memorial Day was originated. 1t is day that
means too much to American history TO ever let it
be day passed in neglect of observance, what
is not very much better, turned into sort Of fete
day. Americans, as rule devote sufficient time to
recreation purposes so that they can take time to
observe it with respect to the country's soldier
dead, whether of this generation or the preceding
ones. Had it not been for those who in the past
fought bed and died for Americas sake, life
would be more serious affair for the great major
ity now.
Memorial Day. was originated in honor of those
soldiers who died during the Civil War, and grew
in the years that followed to be day beautiful in
it's expression of patriotic tribute in every
ity where G. A. R. posts were known. A little later
each community found each year. a larger number
of graves to mark as the death toll increased
among the survivors of Gettysburg, Shiloh, The
Wilderness, and all of the deadly battles of four
years of service seen by the wearers of the Blue.
There are but few Civil War veterans left now,
as anyone who has known any large number of
them, will realize, and those who still remain will
not be here for long. 1t is small tribute to pay
them whether here, or in the Grand Army" above
to spend one day in respect to their memories and
the causes they bore arms for. Since 1917 the day
has had more significance for the present genera
ton of Americans, many coming to their first true
appreciation of war through the losses of home
boys in the American Expeditionary Forces And
wherever that loss has been noticeaby felt, there
will be desire to observe Memorial Day with de-
voton to the soldier dead, and not as mere ho-
day with holiday pasmes the chief features of the
day. Memorial Day is much too sacred to confound
it with purely pleasure days which are frequent
enough to be within the reach of everyone. Me-
mortal Day should be observed everywhere just as
everyone voluntarily observed it three years ago.

KNOW WHERE THAD is?

Has anybody seen Thad McMackin:
His mother, who lives at the county
homo. poor woman, wants to see him
mighty bad and If Thad had any idea
how she is grieving because of his abb
sence he'd hurry out to the home for
the poor to see her and kiss her wrin-
lilcd cheek without losing Il minute.
Thad is a bright boy, according to
Siperintchdent l. u. Boyd Of the cOun-
ty home. who told yesterday about his
absence. He is about - years old and
he has been making his home at the
county farm ever since he was little
wee bit of a Chap-not more than TWO
years old.
He was there until six weeks ago,
when he left early one morning after
telling his mother that he was going TO
Il farm in the neighbOrhood to pick cot
ton.
lie was dressed only in overalls and
rough, clothes, not stopping 10 put on
better clothes. Nothing was thought OF
it because he was expected to return TO
his mother that night. But he didn't
return and inquiry developed the tact
that lie didn't so to the nciShbOrs
house ,to pick cotton.
Nobody knows where he went.
The mother sits in the porch in the
evening waiting for Thad to come
until the sun goes down beyond the
horizon and the shades OF night are
pulled down and all is dark and until
she can no longer look for her darling
boy.
She is up carly in the morning look
ing for her darling boy and al during
the day she is on the alert Tor the
sound of his footstcp.
But Thad has not come and the
mother is beginning to fear that he has
met with foul play. He was always
good boy, devoted to his mother. He
never was away this long before with
out apprisinS her. OF his whereabouts
and she cannot understand.
She cannot eat with zcst. She can
not sleep. She can do nothing but
think about her wandering boy and
pray to the good Lord To bring him
back to her.
Tnad is described as being a husky
chan for his - ycarS-big and strong.
He doesn't mind work and unless he
has drifted into some city somewhere
he is probably working on some farm.
If yuu should run across lad whom
yuu think might he Thad, tell him.
please, that his mother is just grIeFlnS
ncr heart away for him and that Shc

do that, won't YOU?

Pay Your Debts.

There is no one process to be con-
ccivcd Of in connection with the. entire
economic situation that is better call
cuIated to restore confidence and pros
pcrity in this section than a general
payment of debts.
Almost everybody owes money to
somebody, and every man who has
anything in him that is worth While Is
anxious to get rid of his debts by pay
ing them. If he is the right kind of Il
man he is even more anxious to pay
what he owes than he is to collect what
is owing to him. And sure enough
men and women are trying to pay
what they owe even though they are
unable to get what is owing to them.
Rut one of the biggest troubles in
the way now is that there are too many
people who arc rot even trying to pay.
They mean to pay sometime, when they
get enough money to settle everything
without being inconvenicnced; hut
they are not putting themselves out
about the matter.

everybody else knows it. But the
worst part of this situation is that
such a man stands in his own light. lie
is not only doing great Injustice to the
other fellow. but he is doing still great
er injustice to himself.
What do you think Of the fellow who
fairly and squarely owes you hun

mate Of him. haven't YOU? TO be sure
he may be unable 10 pay; but If that
is the case he ought to speak to You
about it occasionally. Well, if you owe
n man a hundred dollars and don't pay.
O. even speak to him about it, is ii not
reasonable to assume that he thinks OF
you just as you think Of the other feI-
low in like position?

The best way TO restore confidencc and

When q man owes more than he can
possibly pay ut one time. he should pay
what he can. Fifty dollars down on 4
hundred dollar debt is far better than
no payment at all. II you can't raise

That there are some names Of citi-
zens in the jury box of the town that
shouldn't be there because of the fact
that those citizens are not mentally
fitted for jury duty, in the opinion Of
lawyers and other citizens, was evident
yesterday judging from a rather hu-
hnOrOuS incident that occurred in the
municipal court over which Mayor +.
A. Hall was presiding. Chief of Police
Steele. City Clerk aud Treasurer j..
Frank Faulkner and Mayor Hail were
engaged in drawing n jery to try a
case against Bullock's Creek town
ship negro, in which petit larceny was
charged. The towns attorney was
present representing the town and the
defendant was represented by an at
torney His white employer was also
present. The name of a well known
and rather eccentric citizen was drawn
from the box. The defendants attor-
ney objected to the choice, declaring in
effect that the citizen was not fit to sit
on a jury by reason Of unsound or er-
ratio mentality and peculiarisms, the
result of his being an unnatural freak
Of the human race. The name was set
aside and the name of another well
known citizen, who is regarded in some
quarters as being afflicted with bats
in the belfry" was drawn. Defendants
attorney said nothing. Neither did the
towns attorney. There was a pause.
Finally the white man looking after his
tenants interests said. well, gentle
men, with all due respects to him, this
last named citizen you have drawn is
just about as crazy and as foolish as
that other name that was thrown out
awhile ago and l guess 1 don't need

BABY WAS POISONED.

That the seven -weeks-o old son of Mr..
and Mrs. VI. A. Cohen of Fort Mil,
came to its death as result of a dose
Of lysol, administered by parties un-
known, was the verdict of coroner's
jury Friday, presided over by Coroner
Paul G.. McCorkle, in Fort Mill. The
infant died of the poison on Thursday
night and although the cOroner's jury
was unable TO fix direct responsibility,
Sheriff Fred Quinn, who was present
at the inquest, said that it lies between
three persons, although the lysol was
given through accident.
No arrests have been made and none
will be, it was stated yesterday. The
father of the child, a Jewish merchant
OF Fort Mil, testified before the jury
of inquest that he was certain the dose
of lySOl was administered accidentally.
1t seems that the mother of the child
had been accustomed to giving it lit
tie soothing syrup on rubber nipple
when it cried, in an effort to quiet it,
and that the colored nurse had also
been following this practice as well as
had an older boy of the COhenS.
Sheriff Quinn said this morning that
officers were of opinion that either the
mother. or the nurse Of the little Co.
hen boy. thinking that they were CIV
mig the baby soothing syrup, got the
bottle Of lysol by mistake and admin
istcrcd the deadly poison on the rub
Der nipple.
Lysol is a very popular antiseptic
and disinfectant. 1t is a deadly poison
and the slightest amount is sufficient
to cause death.
