The home BUYER-who is he?
He is the man TO whom "home"

He is the man who lives a set

The home Dyer is one of the
honOred. substantial citizens of
our community.
He brings up his children here,

The fly-by-night citizen, the
unsettled. disconnected individ-
ual is likely TO be the out-of-

He purchases elsewhere because
his home town means nothing 10

He is a drifter thru life, a moth

things that brings wealth and
contentment. He has not at

credit, TO own property, TO estab-
lish a growing business security.
He seeks 10 save a few pennies
under the lure of out-of-town adj
vertising. only to find that his
wings are singed in the blaze
that tempted him.
He misses completely the point
of true thrift. of real economy
that is, TO purchase goods only in
person. after first-hanh examin-

The HOME BUYER on the
other hand is the man who knows
what he wants-and gets it.
Tie is the man who doesn't wait

He gets what he wants when he

cash in local circulation.
No sane person could say that
there is any economy in that sys-

when fourteen transactions out

the Government mail order SER
vice at less than cost price, thus
benefitting the mail order house
proprietors at the expense of all

True economy and sound pat

every loyal citizen to patronize
his Home Town and keep the
wheels of commerce moving in
the direction in which most per
sons can be mutually benefited.

Original Meaning OF school"
While q school Is now place OF

fact. the word itself Is derived from
the Greek "schole." meaning leisure.
Probably this arose from the fact

Farms near thriving towns and

Prosperous cities and towns are

gives his customers the better

day., what I mean is this: The
business man who goes after business
hammer and tongs, who looks well
to his buying in order that he can
pass along to his customers the bar
gains he can pick up (and there are
many to be, had in all lines) is going
to reap the reward. There was a
time not so far distant wiz; any,
body and everybody had business and
nobody need 20 after it; in fact the
man who went AFTER il too strong was
apt to find himself unable to get
goods to supply the demand. But that
day is gone and it may not return
again soon. The depreciation in the
purchasing power of the people has
made more careful buyers of most
folk and they are now on the alert for
bargains, The man WHO manages his
business so that he can give them
the bargains and is willing to spend
a moderate amount to apprise the
people of THE values he offers will not
find business SO dul i in 1921 after aiit''

NEW, TAX MEASURES.

Four new tax measures are now
pending in the South Carolina legis-
lature, all Of them introduced in ac-
cordance with Governor Cooper's
suggestions looking to the securing Of
state revenue from other than; prop
erfy taxation. They are: an inheri-
tance tax, an income tax, a tax, on
soft drinks and a; tax on gasoline,
kerosene and lubricating oils. If all
Of these measures are passed, it IS
estimated, the revenue from them
win be sufficient to. reduce the prop
erty tax levy by several mills. The
inheritance and gasoline tax meas
ures have been passed by the house.
It is not improbable that one or
more oft hese measures will become
law at this session, as the general as
sembly will probably exceed consid-
erably this session its customary
forty-day period.
These proposed laws mark some
progress in the matter Of tax reform.
The Dispatch-News, however, as it
has said before, would like to see
some steps taken by our solons look
ing to a readjustment of the -: perty
tax. This is Che source from which
the majority Of the state revenue
comes and something should be done
to bring about more equitable dis
tribution of the burde:: among all
classes Of property ownars.

TEMPTING FATE.

The banks Of Marlboro County
marched up the hill and then
marched down. In December they
passed a resolution that farmers who
would not reduce their cotton acre
age SO per cent. would not receive
accommodation. The other day, un-
der strong pressure from their farmer
customers they, apparently regret
fully rescinded the former resolution,
which seems to indicate that Marl'
boro, the great cotton-producing
county Of the state, like Ephrahim is
welded to it's idols, and her farmers
in the face Of the calamitously low
prices and the worse than gloomy
outlook unless the cotton acreage is
materially cut, are, going to follow
their usual course and raise cotton to
buy meat and bread. If next fall
the price Of cotton is still below the
cost Of, production, and the boil weevil
takes nip at the mammoth cotton
stalks of Marlboro and the garden
spot of the state finds it inoossible
to feed her chickens, she will wish
that her banks had stood pat on their
first resolution.
Such jhyihe in the face of manifest
destiny on the part Of Marlboro al
most makes one wish for Legislative
control of the acreage.

DISCOVERING A MISTAKE.

Some counties where officials felt
that it was necessary, in the face OF
the grave business conditions, to
economic by dispensing with the
county agents, are now discovering
that this was a serious mistake. Face
to face with the necessity of .diversi-
fying without the exact knowledge Of
what crops to plant or how to go
about planting them; with the abso-
lutte necessity of cutting the cost Of
nroduction from one-half to two
thirds below that Of last year not
knowing just how to reduce this cost
cutting without reducing the yield;
with the importance Of selling every
farm product at the highest possible
price without a definitely organized
cooperative selling association; with
the desire to increase the livestock on
the farm without thorouh knowl-
edge of breeding, care, and feeding
and of disease control; with the will
to plant home orchards without the
knowledge of spraying and pruning;
with mortgages or notes falling due
on land and equipment without know
ing. how to get extensions of credit,
there has never been time when a
county agent has been so vitally nee
essary to farmers of any county in the
South as during this year of uncer-
tainty. ,
e. Much as they may desire to do SO,
county authorities cannot economic
by cutting off their county agent. for
this is not economy. They save some
few thousand dollars that 60 to pay
the salary, but they rob the county Of
from ten thousand to several hunol ed
thousand dollars, of income which
the county agent will bring into the
county by his work. No good county
agent should be regarded as an ex-
pense, but as a productive. agency
that brings in wealth to the county
many times over his salary every
year. It is all right to economic,
but care should be taken not E. to
economic by cutting off the source of
supplies-The Progressive Farmer.

HOW HOUSTONISM
HELPED THE FARMER
Manufacturers Record, Baltimore,
Md

manufacturers Record, Baltimore,
Md
Mr.. David Franklin Houston was
Secretary of Agriculture from March
6. 1918, to February 2, 1920. The
post is potentially highly construc-
tive. From February 2, 1920, and
until time, the great healer, shall
have removed him from the position,
he was and is Secretary of the Treas
ury, chairman Of the Federal Re-
serve Board, chairman of the Farm
Loan Board, chairman of the War
Finance Corporation. What Mr.. Hous-
ton, Secretary of Agriculture, did for
the farmer already is forgotten. What
Mr.. Houston in his newer and possibly
more congenial position, through his
policy Of defation, did to the farmer
is in part succinctly told in the fol-
lowing official statement of the De-
Farmers Lose More than War Time
Price Gains.
Beef cattle on farms lost in aver
age va;ue per head from January /,
1919, to January /, 1921, all that
they gained during the participation
of the United States in the World
War, and more than half as much
again, according to the Bureau of
Crop Estimate, United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. The loss oc-
Cured mostly in 1920. This has been
established beyond doubt by the re-
cent annual investigation of prices of
farm animals per head made by the
bureau. The average price per head,
all aes, Of cattle other than mich
COWS was 1852 in 1917, S44.22 in
1919 and s31.41 in 1921. On January
l, last year, the farm price was $4.51
below that of 1917, some months be-
fore this country declared war. ;.
I'm the case of swine on farms, the
average price per head, all ages, de-
cHned in the two years, 1919 and
1920, SS per cent Of the gain in 1917
and 1918, and two-thirds Of the de-
line was in 1920.
From 1916 to 1919 the average
farm value of the product of corn per
acre increased from s21.67 to s38.54,
The corn crop Of 1920, taking the
average value of the product of one
acre. fell to s2o.s3, and this drop not
only wiped out the gain in the pre-
.cding three years, but perceptibly ex.
"eeded it. The commonly used per-
centages of decline since the break
in price began fails to discover this
;act, because a percentage of decline
from higher number is not COM
parable with a percentage of gain
Turing the preceding years, which is
BASED on comparatively low num-
ber."
