IN THIS VALLEY
Especial to The Press.J

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 3.-A con-
crete plan expected to go far in solv-
ing the problem of restoring to suit
able gainful occupations large mum.
ber of handicapped service men and
at the same time give them oppor-
turity to acquire land of their own
was unfolded yesterday at meeting
in the chamber of commerce directors
room, attended by representatives of
the chamber, military and welfare
organizations, the press, the Federal
board for vocational education and
the chamber committee on military
and naval affairs.
1t is believed that the plan will be
especially efficacious for service men
handicapped by pulmonary ills, as
the land to be utilized is located in the
Imperial Valley. The valley has been
demonstrated as beneficial to such
cases, and the author Of the project,
I. w. Dewitt, was himself restored to
health there some years ago when he
was suffering with tubercular trouble
The project contemplates giving
the handicapped service man chance
o acquire land of his own after he
has been rehabitated. The scheme
has been six months in its develop
ment and has met with the approval
of the Federal board for vocational
education in Washington. Experts in
various lines have been called into
consultation and Mr.. McDevitt an
nounced yesterday that all is III
readiness to place selected men upon
the land.
An area of 2400 acres has been ac-
quired by Mr.. McDevitt in the vicin-
ity of Brawley and Holtville, from the
British-Amerlcan Mercantile Com.

the Brawley squad when he announced
the battery for the locals as Tex
Marley and Bennyhoven, one of the
fastest amateur batteries on the
coast, which had been brought down
here for the occasion. Marley is the
star twirler at the naval air station.
Marley pitched a masterful game,
held the Brawley sluggers to three
hits and the locals finished the game
with wraps on. A large crowd of FL
Centro rooters who had visited Braw-
ley to see the game, report that the
northern city resembled Long Beach
after the Long Beach High lost to
Everett several weeks ago.
AS if one victory a week was not
enough yesterday Ell Centre played
at CaleXico and defeated the border

SOUTH UNION LAY-BYf SCHOOL
Interesting Program rendered ut the
ClOs0 Of tho Session,

The adult "lay-by school," which
was taught at South Union by Miss
Annie Coleman, Of Blairs, S. c.,
came to close Friday night, Aug.
26th, 1921.
An interesting little program was
given In the school building, the pro
gram combining both profit ana
pleasure. Selections in reading were
given by first and second grade pu-
pills, and third grade pupil preside d
over the exercises Miss Coleman
had taught them several songs, too.
which they sang for us.
1t is wonderful how much progress
these grown men and women made
in so short a time. A first grade man
learned to read Bible stories, write
a check, sign his name, etc, very
creditably.
Miss Coleman deserves much credit
for her earnest and patient effort in
teaching this school.
After the program by the school
Mrs. S. l.. Burriss entertained the an
dicnce with IL recitation, Poor House
Nan" Then we had snort talk by
jill. Brown, commanding the lay-by
schools, etc, both Of which were
greatly enjoyed by all.
Ice cream was srrvedby the COM
munity, which proved a great fed
turc of the evening to tho school and
audience rs we'll.
Clemson invited these lay-by
schools from Anderson, OconCc and
FiCkrnS TO hold their commencement
exercises Il. the college, so on Satur-
day about half Of the pupils from the
South Union school went over ana
listened to many Of the pupils from
other schools. think they enjoyed
the day, for many Of them had never
been to Clemson before. Therefore
the herd OF cows, fine hogs, pretty
buildings. the green campus, bcauti-
ful flowers were Il sight FOR them.
Miss viii Lou Gray, Of Columbia,
was present and endeavored. in a
happy, cheerful way, to make the day
Il success. She seemed to be satisfied
with the reports Of the different
schools which were represented.
Miss Coleman and sister stopped
over in Seneca with Mrs. Leslie ctrib-
ling for the weekend.
We were disappointed because our
superintendent Of Education did not
attend the commencement Of the
adult schools at Clemson. Perhaps,
had he been there, Oconee would
have had Il better showing. We pre-
prevented his attendance. ~

Philadelphia, Sept 3. .--Unitcd
States Treasury Department officials
came here Il day or two ago to in
yestigate charges that water had
been substituted for whiSkcy in 100
barrels consigned to the government
Of Greece.
The barrels containing the water,
the agents said, are held in a bonded
warehouse at the Pennsylvania Ware
housing Company. All the seals and
stamps required by law, showing the
liquor to have been placed in bond.
were declared to have been intact
when inspected. The seals Of the cars
IN which the 100 barrels were trans
ported from the New Hellan Distil-
lery in York. Pa, were also declared
to have been unbroken when the
guards attached to the customs SER
vice supervised their removal to the
warehouse.
An investigation has been started
in York and in other places where
bonded warehouses are attached to
distilleries, 1t was said here, as evil
dence already obtained indicated the
possibility OF wholesale frauds in
volving great sums OF money.

THE WHY'S AND WHEREEORES
Gr tho Health Pictures Presented to
Audiences in OcOnoe.

| Inc picture SHOWS given ny the
State Health Department at the va
ri0us places over the county we're
well attended. They were sent out by
| the Department Of Rural Sanitation
and County Health Work Of the South
Carolina state Board Of Health, Of
which Dr. A. l.. Riser has charge.
The average attendance for Oconee
was around three hundred, and it
was through the hearty cooperation
Of the farm and home demonstration
agents Of Oconcc that these meetings
wCr.> SO successful.
The pictures. although they deal
with two OF the dreaded diseases,
namely, typhoid fever and tuberculo-
sis, arc very interesting and instruc-
tive. Each picture is in the form Of
ii story. with a plot running through
it, thus holding the interest Of the
spectators until the last. At some OF
the places "fo0d for Reelection" was
shown. which is Il two-reel picture oI
the many problems that confront the
country schools. This picture is sent
out by the department Of Agricu!' ure
and was obtained from them by our
homo demonstration agent.
The reel on typhoid fever. callel
"ln His Fathers Footstcps,' is in
the form Of romance. 1t goes o
show that people are satisfied to live
under unsanitary conditions until
some disease comes along and opens
th'ir eyes. This farmer had lovely
daughter tSally). who w2S very fond
Of one Of her fathers hired men.
While walking over her fathers
farm she drank some water from one
Of the wells on the old farm and
contracted typhoid fever. During the
night she is taken worse, and hcr
lover volunteered to so for the doe
very many exciting adventures, bu:
at last brings the doctor 20 Sally'5
home. Meantime the health officer
calls upon her father and points out
the unsanitary conditions obtaining
on his farm and takes him to a mod
crn farm. Sally soon RECEIVERS. her
father tells her he is going to make
the old farm Il model place. and then
the reel closes by her father offering
Sally'S hand to her lover.
"JinkS," comic reel on tubcrcu-
iS,n l,n
to get the lesson which the picture
was originally intended to convey.
Jinks is lazy and feels bad, and his
wife wants him 20 go and see a doc
tor. When the doctor shows him the
germs he runs home and jumps in
bed and has long dream. In this
dream it shows the germs home.
which is links lungs, and the four
main reasons why the lungs const:-
tute the ideal home for germs
namely. because he never takes the
wrong food. breathes impure air. and
never has a physical examination. To-
wards the end Of the reel the main
ways Of preventing the spread Of this
disease are shown
"Out OF the Shadows" a two-reel
picture on tuberculosis in milk,
shows where this terrible disease is
responsible for the death OF many in
fants as we'll as older people. Peo-
pie who have cattle should have
them examined by the State veterin l.
rian. and this can be arranged with
your county agent. 1t takes only a
short time to have this examination
made. and, therefore. why risk the
lives Of your whole family?
