REVEAL MINDS OF POETS
Nomenclatures of Serbian Cities and Villages Show Character of Peo-
 pie in Striking Manner.

The names of the villages in which our many friends lived and from which they often walked 20 miles or more to be of use to us set down in my notes. partly because the words, in and of themselves, are pictorial and atmos- pheric and partly because their mean ing reveals the essential, natural poetry of the Serbian mind. X few of the most striking ones may appro- priately bring this chapter of Serbian helpfulness to a close, Caryl B. Storrs writes In Minneapolis Tribune.
 Monastir the metropolis of southern Serbia means the city of monks" Kremljani where our camp was lo- cated means Jewellers among quartz ite' from the quanties of quartzite rock in the vicinity. The Slavic root of the word Kremljanl. by the way, is the same used In the name of the Kremlin at Moscow.
 Other village names with their mean ings are: Livonia, proper name. sig nifying q huge, virile fellow; Krusho- grad, a limestone castle; Erode, the ferry over a river; Dobroveni, people living in fertile meadow lands; Vrbena, the village of willows; Skocivir, the village of cascades; Vodena, water city; Lazac Uozshatx), the sloping mountain meadow cleared from forest :; Gornichevo, the village in the mountain divide; Rosno, the new village; Sa- kuljevo the village beyond the tower; l; Bach, the village down in the kettle; i; Yostaran, the village of fruit; Zha- bljani, the village of frogs; Kravari, the village of cowherders; Sorovich, the village of sleet; Dragosh, beloved village; Bistrica, clear mountain tor rent; Bukri, the village on a water course; 0ptiehari, the dwellers among many birds; Konjarka, creek that must be forded on horseback: Sokol, noun tain village, where only falcons can live; Cuke, village along the range of buttes; Kalanik, village of mud: Ljaskoviki, dwellers among hazelnuts.

Now, this striper takes me up in the eyes and shows me a little gadget where all you had 10 do was press i doohickey, turn over d gimick. and blooey-it would sink every tin fish within mile" So said the tanned and wind-burned young sailor of the U. S. s. Florida. Everyone on the subway platform turned to look gt him. What he was talking sounded like English, but it wasn't the English spoken in New York. In the latest form of navy slang the sailor was iell. ing how an eaSiSa had shown him how to work a depth bomb down Il, Guantanamo bay, Cuba. 4 "striper' Is an ensign. and the "ryes" the front of the ship.

Among Fishes the Important Fact of Life Seems to Be, "Eat or
 Be Eatens

In the Dublin museum a stuffed angler fish, commonly known as f1slt- ing frog, may be seen, its stomach still swollen by an enormous cod which lt had swallowed. In the stomach of the cod were found two large herrings. In each herring were several sprats, while each sprat, in turn. contained 0 number of tiny crustaceans. or shell fiah.
 In the salt seas, 1t is eat or be eaten. The fishing frog, fish shaped like s gigantic legless frog, and provided with q luminous bait which 1t dangles from q long feeler over it's wide mouth, has the most prodigious appetite. AS many as 20 founders have been found inside one fishing frog; another contained 60 herrings.
 Each fish has its special prey. Pol lack assemble In shoals and pursue the close formations of young cod. They surround the cod. drive them to the surface and devour them. Whit, Ing. in similar fashion, pursue and de vour the herring shoals, while hake feed upon sardlnes.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING

Experts on advertising call the country newspaper ths best publicity medium in the world. This is so because these newspapers are so very carefully read. The people in the small towns value their newspapers highly and are proud of them, when they are we'll conducted.
 The country paper is kept for many days, and every member of the family goes through it, reading not mere ly the news, but looking over every one of the advertise ments. The reason why the people read the country pap CTS so thoroughly, is that they relate principally to the life near home. A news item from your own home town and the nearby country will interest more people than big event from outside.
 Advertisements placed on pages that contain these local events and happenings, are sure to get reading. Even a small ad can't be buried out of sight of the eagle eyes that are gleaming everything the home paper may contain.
 This gives the country town business men a wonderful chance to communicate with the people and get their SUD- port for enterprising move ments. If they have some large lot of goods obtained at a low price, they can feel sure that by advertising this oppos- tunity they can bring it to the attention of the public, and give the consumers advantag- es in buying at home that cannot be found elsewhere. The merchants in Newark who do not advertise in The Jour- nal will find that it creates good will for your store and offers an opportunity to ex- pand his business and develop to a larger scale.

HOW HAILsTONEs ARE FORMED
Aeoordlnc to Theory. Electrical Action Is Responsible for Storms That
 Frequently Do Damage.

rho formation of hail through cleo ..,ooI action. according to one theory. is m interesting and esen wonderful nrocess. The wind draws out cloud into fl long, narrow strip. In that eorr, owing to the great amount of surface exposed to the air, the cloud eyaporates rapidly, producing intense cold.
 ,)rv narticles Of snow are then form od and these, by friction with the wa fer drops, quickly become charged with negative electricity. But the water drops carry positive electricity, and since negative attracts positive film of woter is formed upon each snow ro-t,cle and is instantly frozen into q layer of thin ice.
 Al this thickness it's outer surface remains moist, the water not freezing so rapidly there, whereupon the elec- tr,cal charge changes from negative to nosit,ye and the particle is repelled by tba water drops and driven to the onter narts of the cloud. Here the in creased cold covers 1t with snow, and friction charges 1t anew with negative electricity.
 Repulsion is now once more changed for attraction, and the particle rushes hack Into the cloud, receiving upon It's surface another film of water, which k turned Into second ice layer.
 Thus the growing hailstone darts zig.zag through the cloud. piling up it's alternate layers of snow and ice, until gravttation gains control and sends 1t with iingling crowd of it's fellows spinning to the ground,

Surface Treatment of Maeadam Road With Bltuminous Material and Stone Chips.

of an inch wide, so that the material may be poured in a broad, flat stream. If a large amount of work is to be done, specially designed pouring can may be purchased of dealers in road equipment. Care should be taken to have an even distribution, and the quantity applied should be approximately one-half gallon to a square yard of road surface. After applying the bituminous material, clean gravel or stone chips should be spread evenly over the surface, and if possible, rolled with lawn or field roller. Where gravel or chips are not available, clean, coarse sand will serve as covering material. It should be spread in sufficient quantity to pre- vent the bituminous material from ad- herring to tires of passing vehicles. Attention is called to the fact that this treatment should not be mado where drainage from the stables ef barns will flow over 1t. Where mGa- holes are likely to form around nltea- ing posts or at stable entrances. if q more durable pavement is desired, q section of concrete slab should be laid.

CHARGE THAT WON FL0TlLLA
Remarkable Exploit of South American llaneros When Operating With
 General Simon Bolivar.

The Llanero of South America lives sells on horseback, and during the war with Spain the Llaneros contributed much toward achieving the independ- enee of Venezuela and New Granada.
 There is related a story of an oc- casion when 1t was necessary for Bolivar's army to cross the Apure to engage Morillo. But Bolivar had no boats and the Apure at this point was wide and deep.
 The Spanish fiotilla was guarding the river opposite to the patriot forces. Bolivar was In despair. Turning to raez he said, 'I would give the world to have the Spanish flotllla; without 1t can never cross the river"
 "It shall be yours in an hour" rs- piled Paez
 Selecting 300 of his Lanero Ian cers, all distinguished for strength and bravery, he said. pointing to the gunboats. we must have these hecheras or die. Let those follow who piease.r
 Squirting his horse he dashed into the river and swan toward the ho- tiila. The Llaneros followed with their lances in their hands, now encouragin their horses by swimming beside them and batting their necks, now shouting to scare away the crocodiles, of which there were hundreds. At last they reached the other side and sprang from their horses backs on board the. boats, headed by their leader. To the aston ishment of every one they actually captured the entire flotilla.

The young bride was enthusiastic over her home and its furniture. It had cost exorbitant prices because it was hand made. To agree with 1t she demanded bandmade curtains, sheets, etc. TheR came the end of the honey moon and the settling down to actual living. One day the bride ripped to market to buy her first chicken.

For in- stance, why did she make the Dalma- tfan side of the Adriatic one mass of islands and creeks, which are just so many hiding holes for any power that has designs on Italy, and at the same time lay the Adriatic seaboard of Italy as bare and fiat and plain as she could plan 1t?

HUNTING A COTTON MARKET
AS MAKE the angels weep.

EXPostmaster General Burleson
is travelling in Europe and is said to
be trying to nnG cotton market in
Germany and in oteher parts of the
old world. Two conditions are un-
favorable, one Of them is the high
tariff the Republicans have put in
operation that will prevent the ship
ment from Germany Of the manufac-
tured articles needed in this country.
The other impediment is the fact that
the impoverished condition of the
Germany and in other parts of the
consumers of Germany and other Eu-
ropean countries will prevent them

lands in this State which sell for $1O0
to 5000 per acre, but which are re-
turned for taxation at SIS to $40 per
acre, while in the same county there
is land which is unproductive and is
assessed the same per acre as the
highly developed farm lands. Each
taxpayer feels that he must return
his property as low as possible, so
that he will not pay more than his
neighbor. Of course, the lower the
valuation of property, the higher the
tax levies will be. If all property were
assessed at 100 per cent, the tax
levies would be reduced to very low
rate, and the burden would be equit-
ably distributed.
These are only a few of the incon-
sistencies and the shortcomings en-
bodied in the fundamental tax laws
of South Carolina How much longer
are we going to allow such antiquated
tax laws to remain in force? Until we
have complete reform in taxation,
grave injusties will be done the tax
payers of this State, and progress in
educational, social, economic and
governmental affairs will be well nigk
impossible.

BOIL WEEVIL DAMAGE

boil weevils are in my cotton in
great numbers. Would you advise me
to plow up the cotton and plant some
other crop?" This is a question being
asked by hundreds of South Carolina
farmers in the infested counties of
the state, says Prof. A. F. Conradi,
chief of the entomology division, who
says that advice from any source
concerning this matter is not depend
able for there is no man who can
tell in advance whether or not it
would be wise to plow up cotton and
plant other crops on account of boil
wcevil infestation.
The cotton boil weevil is an insect
whose activities depend on weather
| conditions. If the weather in June
and July is comparatively warm and
dry, we may expect to make a cot
ton crop so far as the weevil is con-
ccrned. In other words, abundance
Of weevils at this season of the year
| is no indication of the loss that may
! be expected, for the reason that so
far the weevil has had every advan-
tage and the cotton every disadvan-
tage. On the other hand, if June and
July are comparatively wet, we may
expect severe loss from the boil wee
will. 1t must be remembered that the
average South Carolina weather con-
ditions, especially in the southern
half of the state, are very favorable
to weevil development.
During 1920 experiments in pois-
oning the boil weevil in Georgia, Ala
bama, and louisiana showed gain,
Notwithstanding the adverse weather
conditions. Experimental work in
South Carolina showed no gain, but
it must be remembered that weather
conditions were decidedly adverse to
poisoning.
Until poisoning has reached more
certain and "fool-proof" stage, cot
ton growing under boil weevil condi-
tions will continue to be a gamble. A
sound policy, therefore, demands that
every farmer grow his food and feed
and raise cotton only as a surplus
cash crop.
Every cotton farmer in he infes-
ted territory should read most care

States Department of Agriculture,
which is brief and definite discus
sion of the subject of poisoning the
weevil.-Clemson College.
