"BLUE MONDAY"
And the Way to Make Every Day Sunny Day
As Billy Sunday Sees 1T

have one of those electric-lightinx
machines and can chuck the old
coal-oil lamp over the back fence.
And whatever you do, be sure
to put running water in the house
for her. A man has no right to
ask or expect a woman to draw
water up hand over hand from
well forty feet deep. Give her
water from faucet in the kitchen
sink, and bathroom and lavatory
and a lot of other labor-saving
devices.
And Billy might have gone
right on in his hammer and
tongs" way and told how an
electric lighting machine" as
he puts it, would have done
many other things around the
home to save his wife work; he
might have even gone further
and, at the same time, made
more of a hit with this particu-
lar type of man, by telling him
that he would actually get just
as much, if not more, benefit
from the electric machine" in
the time, work and money it
would save him, than would
his wife and family.
And then if Billy had been up
on these matters, and had he
beenpermitted to dose, he could
have told the farmers he was
hitting at, that the one plant to
do these things-the one plant
that Does More-Does 1t Bet
ter" is the Lalley Light and
F. Home Electric Power Plant.
The chances are Mr.. Sunday
had the Lalley in mine but he
couldn't mention names.
He left that to us, and that's
what we want an opportunity
of doing-showing you how the
Lalley is far-and-away ahead of
anything of its kind. his might
sound like we're taking on a
big job, but we're not-like the
Lalley Plant we're equal to any task.
So just come in and We'll show you
where Billy Sunday was right in advis-
ing the purchase of an electric ma
chins"-not only for the wife, but for
you and for every member of your
family-and we'll show you where we
are right about the Lalley..

When Billy Sunday gets out
his little hammer he strikes so
hard that the impact upon the
heads of those he hits feels like
the blows of a sledge hammer.
In the Country Gentleman of
July 31st, Billy takes a rap at a
certaintypeof farmer-thetype
that believes in helping himself
to the good things in life, but
forgets to pass it on to his wife.
We're going to quote a few
things from Billy's article, not
because it hits any of our farm
er friends in this community,
put because of it's good logic
and because it brings out some
of the many advantages of the
Lalley Light and Home Electric
Power Plant, from an entirely
outside source.
In hitting at the farmer who
has his automobiles and mod
ern machinery to assist him in
his farm operation, but has neg
lected to provide any of the
modern appliances for the
home, Billy says, in part
There are thousands of men,
many of them with their names on
church rolls, who call themselves
Christians, who treat the livestock
on their farms a mighty sight bet.

So = Don't you know that
washing with tub and board is
such hard work and 10 dreaded so
by women of the country, that by
common consent, from the ATTAIN
tic to the Pacific, the women have
named washday, "Blue Monday?
"Oh, you say" she doesn't COM
plain about it."
Say, you, Mr.. Farmer, as you sit
by the light of the old coal-oil lamp
reading this X 4 get up, right
now, this minute, go to her, put
your arms around her and say,
Sweetheart, you're working too
hard. The washing is too heavy
for you. What do you say if we
get one of those new tangled
washing machines"
Look out, she may faint; it's beef.
SO long since you talked to her
like that. But you go to it. 4
And while you're atit you might
just as well tell her that she can

Chief kelso will be in Lexington

whom he has induced to stop over III

FALSE ECONOMY.

In casting about for means OF re-
trenching expenditures in order to
lower the tax burden this year, there
sense to be somewhat Of general
idea that the first place to start was
to abolish the farm demonstration
az, IS and tomato club girls. Such a
sentiment was expressed in the tax
payers convention, held in Columbia
recently by Representative Leopard Of
;Pickens and doubtless some of the
same sentiment prevails in Lexington
county.
But to us it seems rather bad
time to take backward step. Just
now if ever it would appear that is
the greatest need Of the stimulation
Of diversified agriculture which the
county agent is in a position as is no
other man to push. The future of
agriculture in the South is by far
from being rosy and no agency that
has the potentiahty Of useful service
in steering our main industry over
what may be a serious crisis should
be neglected.
Plans have been made by Clemson
College, under the direction Of which
this work is performed. to lay great
stress the coming year on the prob
lem Of marketing, upon which the
success Of diversified farming is de-
pendent and the county agent will be
a valuable aid in the proper develop
ment of these plans. Statistics COM
piled by the extension service Of the
university show that while the value
Sf agricultural products declined in
South Carolina from 525 million dol
lars in 1919 to 2s2 million dollars in
1920, the crops Of California, which
were worth AIS millions in 1919 had
only declined in value to 457 millions
ia 1920. Cooperative marketing was
the reason for the small decline in the
worth of California's products.
The cost to the counties for these
workers, who can be of such great
service to the people, and who have
already done valuable work, is so
small in comparison with their worth,
that it would seem to be false econo-
my to do away with them.

WHE. REXALL FOUNTAIN
REDUCES COLD DRINKS.

The Rexall Fountain at the Har-

morning put on a big reduction in all
cold drinks. Coca-Cola, for instance,
which has been selling the country
over for 1Oc a glass, will be reduced
to Z cents, and like reductions will
be made in all other fountain drinks.
In speaking Of the reductions to
be made, DR.. Rice 3. Harmon, owner
and manager, stated that since the
price of sugar has fallen, he expects
to give his customers the benefit. So
far as is known, the Rexall fountain
is the first in this section to reduce
the price on cold drinks.

WaR FINANCE CORPORATION.

The State newspaper, in its efforts
to defend the Democratic admins
tration, is quite facetious about the
revival Of the war finance corpora
Hon and the good it has accom-
plished in the two weeks since 1t
was ordered revived by congress, over
the veto of the president. Certainly
two weeks is too short time in
which to expect change in the sit
nation and so many months would be
too short for any help, with the ad-
ministration Of. the corporation in
the hostile hands Of David F. Hous-
ton, who believes the farmers should
take their losses and grin. Had the
war finance corporation been revived
early last fall, when the demand was
first made, there might have been a
different story to tell.
William G. McAdoo, the greatest
secretary Of the treasury In many
years, favored the project and ex-
erted his influence to have it rees-
tablished. We commend to the at
tention of The State newspaper Mr..

Against Calome]
Mr.. Dodson, the ''Liver Tone''
Man, Responsible for Change
for the Better

Every druggist in town has noticed
a great falling off in the sale of calo-
mel. They all give the same reason,
Dodson's Liver Tone is taking it's
place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it," Dodson's Liver Tone is
personally guaranteed by every drug
gist who sells it. A large bottle
doesn't cost very much but if it fails
to give easy relief in every case OF
liver sluggishness and constipation,
just ask for your money back.
DodS0n'S Liver Tone is 4 pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake up
feeling fine; no biliousness, sick head
ache, acid stomach or constipated
bowels. 1t doesn't grippe or cause in
convenience all the next day like vio-
lent calomel. Take a dose of calomel
today and tomorrow you will feel
weak, sick and nauseated. Don't lose
a day.

A TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

| "A OE'
J Uncle Henry Roof always impressed
! us AS q man whose life was conse-
Grated to the services Of Goo. He w2s
Christian not only in words but IN
deed and in truth. He could say with
Joshua of old, Choose ye this DAY
whom We will serve, but for me and
my home we will serve the Lord.
! His mind was constantly occupied
with his church and it's problems. His
faithful pastor had in him falthtui
ally and supporter in ali forward
movements for the best interest o1
! the church.
! For many years he was an earnest
and devoted leader in the Sunday
school He was uneducated, but most
earnest and humble and threw his
whole personality into the service.
We can never forget his most earnest
,prayers sent up each Sunday to the
Throne of grace for all present and
Eabsent.
One Of the first qualifications q:
a Christian leader is 10 be Il man in

This humble and feeble services, and

fthe influence for good that he leaves
behind. He kept abreast with the
times and was ready for any advance
fment that was for the good of his
lchurch and for the spread Of Gods
kingdom because he read his bible
and studied the problems of his
(church.
| Being q true Christian, cl course
lhe believed in missions and we are
mot surprised that he was one OF the

! Therefore, be it resolved: l, That

parture of one of her most faithful!
land consecrated members. 2. That
the Sunday school is deprived Of one
who gave his best talents and ener-
gies for almost half a century to her

THAT, this missionary society can no

lone who firmly believed in the great

voutly thank our God for the beau

The recommendations Of the gov
