"Oh, DEAR I am all out Of BREATH
said Mr.. Puppy, and down he dropped
and went to sleep in the sun by big
rock.
When Mr.. Rat found out no one was
chasing him he ran out from under .

out" laughed Mr.. Rat when he saw
Mr.. Puppy asleep.
So off he ran for home, and when be

and it is our desire to please
everybody.
If you see any special tools
that might make good toys for
the kids or want any souvenirs,
don't wait until dark to take
them as we are always glad
to remove anything from the
plane as it has too many fit
tings anyway.
If you are crazy to fly, have
no money or friends on the
field, just give us a bad check
as we are saving them for fu-
ture use.
When the pilot requests you
to move back he is only kid
ding you. He can turn around
and go the other way as you
have as much right on earth as
he has and anyway this is a
free country.
Gentlemen are requested to
smoke when flying, as a spark
may illuminate the plane and
give an added thrill to the
spectators.
If you see us talking busi-
ness, don't wait until we are
through, but join in as we are
particularly fond Of speaking
to half a dozen or more at a
time.
Profane language is at all
times expected, especially if
any ladies are present.
When we say, "Don't touch
the controls" we are only kid
ding you. We want you to en-
Joy yourself while on the field
and if a wire is disconnected
and we fall, what's the differ
ence; there are $4,000 avia-
tors in America, and what's a
mere airplane? There is more
material and we, can repair it
if we escape injury.
If you are on the flying field,
don't move; as we can land in
another place or hit the fence
as we want you to be perfectly
satisfied and enjoy yourself
while here. The field was
made large so you could play
cross-tag or crack-the-Whip,
the plane is supposed to fly and
has no business on the ground
so please use the entire field as
we like to fly because we have
lots of gas and oil on hand and
it should be used.

TO SETTLE IRELAND.

Americans, whether friends of
"Irish freedom" or not, should rejoice
in the prospect of settlement of the
trouble which since the armistice has
racked the Emerald Isle" 1t is tc
be hoped that DeValera, the head OF
the so-called Irish Republic, the repre-
sentatives of the opposition party in
Ireland, and Lloyd George, the English
premier, when they come together
will find some common ground on
which they can stand and put an end
TO the bloody turmoil which for the
past several years has disgraced civi-
liZation.

THE INNOCENTS

A1OW Mr.. Rat was rather young
~ and he did not know that he
should look we'll around before he ran
out of his home under the barn floor
in the daytime.
And Mr.. Puppy was also young and
he did not know that when he saw a
rat he should not begin to bark and
jump about.
One morning when Mr.. Puppy was
asleep on the floor Of the barn near
the door he happened to open one eye
suddenly, and there in the corner OF
the barn was Mr.. Young Rat, nibbling
corn.
Up jumped Mr.. Puppy and barked,
jumping about on his little legs as

onr financial crisis is past and better
days are just ahead. Grudglngly, 1t
seems. the cotton market is easing
rp. The government report shows
that there has been material reduc-
ZION in acreage, amounting to more
than IS per cent, which, with bad
weather conditions and bool weevil
damage as we'll as the use of less fer
tilizer will cause the smallest crop in
25 years to be harvested. With any
thing like resumption of the normal
buying power on the part Of the public

last year, and everybody has at least
had bread to eat. With the acreage

made at much less expense than usual.
With respectable price it will net the
farmer a greater profit, and with the
increased amount of food crops on

OF our cotton money at home and send
less of it West for food and feed.

THE BUS LINE.

The Inauguration of the bus line be-
tween Columbia and Saluda will
prove great convenience to the peo-
pie along the line who have business
in the Capital City, and those from
Columbia who may find it necessary
:or business reasons to visit this Sec
ton or who wish to visit their rela-
tives (because there are many people
now living in Columbia with ties of
kinship which bind them to the
Ridge" section). Everywhere the
Columbia Boosters went last Thurs
day they were received with open
arms and extended the glad hand.
It will be a great convenience to
walk out to the roadside, without
having the bother of going to the
railroad station, simply hail the bus
and board it for Columbia, dropping
off on the return trip at the point
most convenient to home. Many a
busy farmer in the crop working time,
will not be forced to stop work to
drive the madam" to town, but will
only have to get her down to the
|.big road" and see her safely on the
bus and meet her on the return trip.
Later when the express cars are
put on all kinds of produce raised on
the farms will find ready market
and can be converted into cash, or ex-
changed for needed merchandise.
The bus line has shortened the dis
tance across the Ridge" through the
garden spot Of South Carolina, and the
ties of friendship and good will al
ready strong between the people Of
Columbia and the territory served by
the bus line should be strengthened
and renewed.
We hope and believe the venture
will prove successful.

AERONAUTIC RULES

Please leave the gate open
or apologize.
Those having no DESIRE to
fly should climb on the plane
as we like to see your foot
prints on the wings.
If you do not believe in signs
stick a knife in the wings and
you will see that it is not cast
iron.
The tail is used to stabilize
the plane and our lives depend
on it's accurate operations, but
if you are tired sit down on it
as it will help the plane "shim-
my" if you pull it out of line.
We always like to amuse our
patrons.
Talk loud and whistle, es-
pecially when we are engaged.
Foolish questions will be an
swered only when we are in a
hurry.
Climb up on the wings, es-
pecially when we are just
ready to fly as the pilot needs
your assistance or will appre-
ciate any suggestions.
Walk up close to the motor
while running and by sticking
your hand in the propeller
you will see that it really re-
wolves.
Ladies with babies in arms
will kindly use the wings for
a cradle as we know how tire
some it is. Then if a few
holes are punched in the cloth
what should we care, linen is
only three dollars per yard.
Should you desire a free
flight, don't be bashful, ask us
as we are always in need of
fresh air and it only costs US
one dollar per minute to op-
crate. We have no expense,
never get hungry and our gaso-
line costs us nothing, the air
plane was given us to wear out

STILL ON THE MAP.

We dislike very much to call down
neighbor- an agreeable
neighbor like the Columbia Record,
but the necessities of the occasion
force US to remind cur esteemed con-
temporary that there is located on the
Augusta Highway, just IL miles from
Columbia, one of the Oldest and best
towns in South Carolina, the county
seat of the best county in South Caro-
lima, by name Lexington. We admit
that Lexington is so close under the
shadow Of the state house dome that
it's glory may be somewhat dimmed,
but nevertheless and Notwithstanding
it still stands as mute testimony to
good sense Of the early settlers Of this
State, who picked it as town site.
Despite wind and weather and some
disastrous fires, it still moves and has
its being on the summit of a high
sand ridge, thrifty and thriving,
healthy and happy, with climate un-
excelled and a generous, warm-heart-
ed population, ready to do their
share Of the worlds work.
We are moved to these remarks by
the fact that the Columbia Record,
in all of it's writeups Of the new bus
line from Saluda to Columbia failed
to mention the town of Lexington.
We cannot believe our contemporary
snubbed US maliciously. We over
looked it once, but, like Josh Bill
lings, we thought twice was 1.-TWO
much" so we rise to remind The Re-
cord that Lexington lies on the Angus
ia highway, and, according to all au-
thentic maps, comes next after New
Brookland and just before Leesville
and Batesburg on that important link
Of communication which Columbia has
with the outer world. In passing it
may be said that all of these impor-
tant towns enumerated above are Sit
uated in Lexington county.

DAYLIGHT AHEAD.

Gradually things are getting better.
While no big Improvement can be
noted, the signs Of the times all
point to the fact that we are turning
the corner. True, it may be a long
time before we get back the stride Of
several years ago; in fact this gene
ration will likely not again see a re-
turn Of what has been aptly called
the "silk shirt" era. But there is
abundant evidence that the worst Of

Mr.. Rat stopped nibbling and ran
back of a barrel, where he peeked out,
but wher he saw it was not the big
dog he began to run around the barn.
Mr.. Puppy at first only barked, then
he decided it was something to play
with, and around the barn he ran.
Over the barrels and over bags of
grain they went, Mr.. Rat always far
ahead Of Mr. Puppy, and just as he
came to the door Mr. Rat ran out in
the yalu.
After him went Mr.. Puppy. Across
