RIPPING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason.
BLESSINGS OF

Men should be thankful to be
poor and have no hefty roll; for men
of substance must endure the griets
that rack the soul. When 1 go forth,
all tired and spent, my income tax
to pay, L envy much the busted gent
who gambols on his way. He is as
happy as the bird that roosts in yon-
der oak-or, if he's not, he is alb
surd, for he is stony broke. Oh, all
the nations are in debt, our own
among the rest, and thrifty dele
gates must get the treasure from
their chest; that government may
function still, each must produce his
wad, must pony up the greenbacked
bill for which he scratched and
clawed. And even patriots get sore,
and raise a doleful sound, when they
must shell out half their store to
make the wheels go round. And
while they feel taxation's sting, and
say hat life is mean, the merry
paupers form a ring and dance upon
the green. They're flush if they
have fifty cents, and such sums are
not taxed, and so they jeer the
thrifty gents who have so wealthy
waxed. We ought to frame some
other plan to pay the nations debts,
for taxes penalize the man who IN
the vineyard sweats.

s c. HOME PRODUCERS
PRODUCTS IN DEMAND

According to Mrs. Frances Y.
Kline, home demonstration specialist
in marketing, the S. c. Home Produc-
ers' association has just had a letter
from a commercial firm N Oklahoma
making inquiries with regard to their
supply of Dixie Burgoo and Pine
Bark fish stew. These are two spc-
cial products which are being put up
bv club women of the state under the
direction of the home demonstration
department. They are being market
cd by the Home Producers ASSOCIATION
along with seven other speclailzeo
products. Each Of these products IS
distinctive of our state and IS pre-
nared by a special recipe which has
been tested by the home demonstra-
ton food conservation specialist.
They are to be marketed under a
special label with an original Pal
metto design.
The purposes of this association are
not only to encourage production anc
conservation, but to convert the sur
plus yield of the farm into money by

HOW CAN / MAKE
MY FARM FLOCK PAY

Last month the home demonstra-
ton agent of this county urged every
person to Gull out of the flock the poor
producers. Many of our people TOOK
this advice and will save money this
winter in feed bills.
Now is the time to establish Tor
yourselves a standard breed OF chick
ems. A breed in which you will find
real pleasure in accomplishment OF
certain definite detectives. Too long
our farm Hocks have been breeded
without any care and too often 1t IS
nothing in particular, just mongrel
flock, so mixed that we. ourselves,
cannot recognize any of the original
blood. Sucn flock does not pay,
each year it grows weaker.
South Carolina does net nearly
produce enough chickens and eggs
for it's own use. We get large sup
plies from Tennessee and North Car
olina. We have the market, BUT not
the production. Why not produce tor
market? We purpose to make a be-
ginning along this line this fall. we
are organizing by communities into
Poultry associations. The members
of this association will all have one
breed of chickens. 1t is desirable for
every association in the county to
have the same breed. This will stan
dardize production. It will make
marketing easier and more profitable
It will open the way for county Or
gsnization when the need demands.
It is not our purpose to goslnto TINS
on any great or expensive scale, but
we do expect to lay strong and hrm
foundations by. beginning with few
of the best this fall and as the pro-
ject pays, let it grow.
The boil weevil is with US. What
can we do about it? There IS ready
revenue in poultry if we will but
produce intelligently. The poultry
association purposes to make united
effort to do this. If you. desire fur
ther information, see your county
home demonstration agent.

of IA days was such lesson them
that they will never again call a

"Mr. President, | am getting tired
of these strike threats. With that
matter in view that came under my
observation, l do not know but that
it would be good thing for the coun-

on a strike. Let the people of this
country once for all understand what
these men mean by their striking. Let
the people realize that they will be

fuel, and everything else. If these
men ever embark on strike that
leads to such results, / venture the
prediction that the American people
will rise in their might and wipe
them from the face of the earth.
