COUNTY TO HAVE
| BULL ASSOCIATIONS
ONeall, St. Lukes and Midway Are
First to Organize-U. S. Special
ist Assists in Work

For the past week County Agent
T. NJ. Mills, assisted by a specialist
of the department of agriculture,
Washington, D. c., has been work
| ing with several communities of the
county in the interest of forming a
cooperative bull association, the prl-
mary object being the Improvement
of the family COWS, and has met with
splendid success, being assured that
at least three communities, O'NeaL,
st. Lukes and Midway, are going to
purchase bulls.
Each community will be known as
block. One kigh-grade pure bred
bull of the Guernsey breed out of
cows with records of at least four
hundred pounds of butter fat per
year will be assigned to each block,
to prevent re-breeding, each bull will
be moved to the next block every two
years.
Reports received from the federal
dairy division regarding the largest
number of associations in any state,
Pennsylvania ranks first with total
of twenty-one; South Carolina Sec
ond with twenty, and Minnesota third
with fifteen. In the associations in
South Carolina fou .een are Jersey
associations, owning fifty bulls, and
six Guernsey associations, owning
twenty-seven bulls, or total of sew
enty-seven high grade pure bred bulls.
The rapid growth of this movement
is due to the fact that the associations
are rendering valuable service to the
smaller dairymen by providing them
with good pure bred bulls at low
cost, says Mr.. w. E. Wintermeyer,
srecialiss from the U. S. department
OF agriculture. The exchange of the
sires every two years makes it posi-
Bile for each member of an association
TO have the use of four or five OF the
better bulls CT breed over period
Of eight or ten years, at a cost to
each member less than the market
value Of scrub bull.
The forming of these bull assocla-
tions are an advance step toward the
organization of the creamery which
has been agitated by our chamber OF
commerce for several weeks past. The
plans for this project are now about
complete, and within the next two
weeks every farmer in the county Will
have an opportunity to line up in the
creamery.
If there should be other commurl-
tiles Interested in forming these bull
associations they should get ii touch
with County Agent Mills at an early
date. as he is interested in seeing eV-
cry community permanently organlz-
ed.

COOPERATIOlI SKED FOR
SAFE DELIVERY OF MAIL
You Should Have aMail Box or Other
Convenient Rec ?tatle At Yea.
Hose.

1t has been calhd to our attention
that the post Office Gepatment is
strongly advocating that if al towns
and cities having either city delivery
or village delivery service the houses
and business places be numbered and
provided with either a slot in the door
or a mail receptacle in which mail can
be delivered expeditiously land safely
by carriers. st is stated that without
house numbers carriers are delayed
in serving the routes and errors in de-
livery unavoidably occur, especially
when substitutes are Oh duty. This
condition, coupled with the lack of
mail receptacles, inevitably causes de-
lays in delivery, with a resultant pub
lice inconvenience and loss.
We are told that Newberry is in g.
very good position in that most of its
residences and business houses are
numbered but that very few recepta-
cles are provided. No particular
style or type of receptacle is requir-
ed. 1t may consist of either slot in
the door, or conveniently located
box of any suitable material. Mail
receptacles insure the prompt and
safe delivery of mail in the absence
of occupants. Avoid delay of mail
through return to office because of
absence of occupants or delay in an
swering carriers ring. Obviate the
necessity of patrons responding p
the bell at inconvenient mes:
Expedite the service generally, =and
permit more prompt deliveries, es-
pecially to patrons residing near the
end of a route.
We therefore call upon all business
and civic organizations and urge them
to extend their hearty cooperation IN
placing this matter before their mem.
bers in order that Newberfy may have
the best postal delivery that it is pos
sible for the department and the loca
postal employees to give. Newberry
always comes across in matters OF
this kind and we firmly believe she
will do it at this time.

An Opportunity for Young Men

CONGRESSMAN Fred H. Dominick to-
day gave out tie following statement
as to the appointment of cadets and
cadet engineers to the Coast Guard
academy at New London, Conn:
GAS well as the other CongcessJnen
from South Carolina, have received
many applications from young men
who desire to enter the Military Aca-
DENY at West Point or Naval Aca-
denny at Annapolis, and more than the
number of appointments ct my dis
posal.
"Tt has been brought to My "ttea-
ton that an excellent opportunity
now exists for young men to enter
the Coast Guard academy at New
London, Conn.,, as cadets or cadc. en-
gineers, and upon graduation to be-
come commissioned officers Of the
Coast Guard with the same pay and
allowance as are received by officers
of corresponding rank in the navy.
The age limits for appointment as
cadet are Is to "a years and for ap-
pointment as cadet engineer 20 to rs
years, so young men who perhaps have
passed The age limits for admission to
the military academy or to the r2val
academy may still be eligible for ad-
mission to the Coast Guard academy.
"a competitive examination to NIL
the vacancies in the grades OF cadet
and cadet engineer in the Coast
Guard will be held in various places IN
the United States beginning January
3, 1922. The opportunity for an ap-
pointment this year is particularly
favorable as there are an unusually
large number of vacancies.
"The course of study embraces
three years and includes, of course,
academic as we'll as military instruc-
tions. During this time, the student
receives the same pay and allowances
as cadets at the Naval academy: S7S0
a year, which is sufficient to pay all
his expenses and cost of tuition. 1t
may be added that in peace times,
the Coast guard is under the treasury
department but in time Of war, in the
Gavy.
Il will be glad to send full details
and literature relative to this exam
ination to any young man in my dis
trict who may be interested in recelv-
ing a good education and training at
government expense and upon his
graduation receive commission IN
the Coast Guard at a good salary
