THE CARVING KNIFE
Copyright. 1922. by Edgar A. Guest.

When but little lad my father carved what meat
With grace and skill he'd cut and slice the roast of
beef veal,
With dexterous hand he'd WELD the blade, no false
or awkward move he made,
And defy he could whet the knife upon his shining
steel,
But now and then I'd hear him say: who's used my
carving knife today?"
What woman's used this blade of mine for cutting wire
or TIM"
And on this special point he'd harp: "a carving knife
must be sharp,
Or cut a roast and have the slices thin"
THAT knife must not be used string, bread or
boards anything.
Hands off my Carving blade he'd cry, and yet
grieve to say,
In spite of all his warnings grim, the women paid
heed to him,
They used his sacred carving knife dozen times a
day.
They'd use that knife for cutting soap, old carpets
leather belts and rope,
They'd it, too for pulling tacks and leave it
dulled and nicked.
And every time meal began, my father angry
man,
But vain every oath he swore and every kick he
kicked.
Now like my good old dad stand and take the carving
knife in hand
And my thumb along its edge and find it duled
and nicked,
And like my good old dad vow, day there'n be
healthy row,
But Pm unsuccessful my father when he kicked.
The maid the youngsters and the wife, still take that
sacred carving knife
And use 1t as handy tool on wood or lead stone,
In spite of all do say, the blade is dulled from day
to day.

He Has Given Advertising A
Chance.

William Wrigley, of Chicago, a
well known chewing gum manufac-
turer, has already made his plans
for advertising his products next year
and announces his advertising appro-
priation will be increased over the
appropriation spent this year. Next
year Mr.. Wrigley says, he will spend
four million dollars for advertising.
When questioned in regard to his
views about advertising, Nh. Wrigley
said that he believed the main reas-
on why advertising has done so much
for his business is because he has
given it a chance.
This statement brings to mind
a considerable number of men en-
gagged in various lines Of business for
whom advertising has done little or
nothing-because they have never
given it a chance. They may have
-dabbled into it a little enough to en-
able them to say Advertising
don't pay"-but that is all the
chance they have ever given adver-
Using, and, of course, it has not help
ed them much.
The only business man or business
that will ever profit greatly by adj
vertising is the one that gives adver-
Using a clear field and a fair chance.

Game of Horseshoes Popular
In Greenwood.

Greenwood, Aug. 19.-The game
of horseshoes will soon be as popular
as golf and tennis as an ameteur
sport in Greenwood, say fans of the
game. A comeback has been staged
by horseshoes. In tiny alleyways and
wherever boys have room enough to
make a horseshoe court, they play
the game. Baseball and marbles are
forgotten by the lads and the clank
of horseshoes ringing the peg" has
taken their place.
Grown-ups are also taking up the
game. The game was used IN many
camping parties this summer as a d.
version and campers have been
loathe to give it up. 1t has many ad-
vantages, it's devotees point out. 1t
is not as strenuous as tennis and more
exciting than cards. No expen.
sive racquets or clubs are required
and one can make a court in a few
yards of dirt anywhere.
cts a good game" the fans say,
as they abandon other sports. Horse,
shoes of a generation ago, an intrig,
uing game has come back.

Over Four Thousand Klans-
men Initiated.

Chicago, August 20 Beneath
the red glare from a blazing cross,
what was said to be the nations big
gest class of Klu Klux Klansmen-
1850 candidates-was initiated in
a huge field just outside Of Chicago
late last night.
While thousands of voices chant
ed the surging roll of Coward,
Christian Soldiers" the candidates,
still CARRIED in their working clothes,
faced the cross and it's circle of
white-clad initiators and pledged
their allegiance to the invisible en-
pire."
The mystic rites were held in an
automobile-rimmed circle a quarter
of a mile in diameter. In the center
of the circle, outlined by the glazing
headlights of the cars, was the cross,
20 feet high and wrapped in cotton
from the southern fields. It was esti-
mated that $4,000 persons witnessed
the ceremonies, representing the
eighteen klans in Chicago and the
twelve outside of Cook county in the
state.

Marconi's Latest Views.

Imagine some enterprising scrive-
ner in the early part of the year
1893 interviewing one Christopher
Columbus lately returned from the
epochal voyage. 1t is hardly less of
a privilege today to get a news story
from that far reaching, history-mak-
ing explorer, Guglielmo Marconi. So
often has he been pictured as a Me-
dieval wizard rather than a modern
scientist, and rumored as receiving
messages from Mars instead of la
boring in his laboratory, that he is
UNDERSTANDABLE shy of porters.
But in the current American Review
of Reviews he talks freely of his
wonderful! new world of wireless.
One thing he says, is clear and
certain from the present situation in
radio: SIT has entered upon a new

UNIQUE School Ends Sessions

Greenwood, Aug. 19.-The most
unique school in the history of any
college in this state, according to
Miss Will Lou Gray, state supervis-
or of adult schools, will end tonight
at Lander College when the closing
exercises of the Opportunity School
will be held. Since July "a, eighty
nine girls and women ranging in ages
from IA to 81, have been given in
struction through the fifth grade. At
Sthe time some of them came to the
school they could not read and write.
Now they can read and write legibly.
Miss Gray states that this is the first
time a college has ever opened its
doors for primary work in the sum-
mer.
The oldest student in the school
swas 81 years of age. She was a grand
mother from Pacolet who was n OF
the most responsive pupils in the
school, her teachers declared. She
was called home at the end of three
weeks on account Of illness of a son,
but when she left she could read and
write. She told her teachers she had
just begun to learn and intended to
continue her studies.
Students came from all over the
state, from a district bounded by
Summerville, Lancaster and Ander-
son The average age is about %
wears. In addition to the boarding
students, a number of day students
attended.
In all their studies usefulness was
1 emphasized. In the study of words,
4 the pupils were taught the words in
] commonest use, words which are
4 used in cookery, in buying and sell,
ing, in the household, etc. In arith.
metic, in calculations were taught
that would be most useful in every.
day life.

Use War Surplus To Build
Roads.

Washington, Aug. 19.-Up to Ju-
" l surplus war material valued at
$139, 773,986 was delivered to the
States for use in road construction,
according to a report Of the Bureau
of Public Roads of the Agricultural
Department.
The material, which consisted of
all sorts of supplies and equipment
suitable for which The war depart
ment had no further need, was dis
tributed on the same basis as momen-
tary federal aid.
New York and Texas lead in value
of material delivered with nearly
50, OOO, 600 worth, and every state,
with the exception of five of the
small ones, received supplies valued
at more than 100000
"This material has been of great
value in road construction" said an
official of the Bureau of Public
Roads, "and there is hardly a coun-
ty in the United States in which
some of it has not been used.
Probably of greatest value has
been the 29,325 motor vehicles dis
tributed, consisting of 24,752 trucks
and 4,573 automobiles and, in addi-
ton, a large number of tractors"
The system of distribution, the
Bureau stated, has been so arranged
that the states requisition only ma
terial useful to them. In some cases
they fall behind in allotments in or
der to wait for material particularly
desired.
Great ingenuity has been shown
by many states in conditioning worn
equipment, using war material to
equip shops in which other war ma
terial is made suitable for use, &C
cording to Government observers.
A large quantity of material still
remains in the United States for dis
tribution, The Bureau stated. This
will be further increased by supplies
used by the army of occupation in
Germany soon to be brought back.

5 Whereas Divine Providence has
seen fit to take from our midst our
beloved friend, and u faithful and

our bank and some manifestation
of our sorrow, that he will be with
us no more, and that he will serve
US no longer.
THEREFORE @
Be it resolved by The Board of Di-
rectors of The Bank of Edgefield,
S. c.,

Must stiffen Courts.

For a while there was a lull, it
seemed, in lawlessness in South Car
DINA, but during the last few days
there has been a resumption on a
most alarming scale of the homicid-
al mania in South Carolina, and the
papers have been filled with ac-
counts of homicides, suicides, and
lesser forms of lawlessness. No a.
mount of charges and counter char
ges on the hustings is going to I'M
prove matters. There is only r. way
that greater respect for law will fill
the hearts of South Carolinians and
govern their actions, and that is a
more thorough functioning of the
courts. AS long as bootlegge-s,
caught redhanded, are acquitted, or
allowed to go scot free upon the pay
ment of a measly fine, the lawlessly
disposed will look upon the courts
with contempt and they have a per-
feet right to do so, as the earning
capacity of the average bootiegger
is no doubt several times that of the
average laborer, and a fine Of 500
or 5000 means the diversion If just
a small part of the profit.-Chester

The Horses Point of View.

The Hor3o's Point of View.
The american has often, in these
columns, called attention to the fact
that we should be especially kind to
horses and mules during the warm
days of summer, when they are re-
CURED to do hard labor in the city's
streets.
The following statement issued by
the American Humane Society is
worth while:
eff a horse could talk he would
have many things to say when sum-
mer comes
"He would tell his driver that he
feels the heat OH a very warm day
quite as much as if he could read a
thermometer.
"He would say: Give me q little
water many times a day, when the
heat is intense, but not much at a
time if l am warm; if you want me
to keep well don't water me too soon
after / have eaten.'
she would say: when the sun :
hot and I am working let me breathe
once in a while in the shade of some
house or tree; if you have to leave
me on the street leave me in the
shade if possible. Anything upon my
head, between my ears, to keep off
the sun is bad for ME if the air can
not circulate freely underneath it,
"He would talk of slippery streets,
and the sensations of falling on cruel
city cobblestones-the pressure Of
the load pushing him to the fall, the
bruised knees and wrenched joints,
and the feel of the drivers lash.
"He would tell of the luxury of a
fly net. when at work and of a fly
blanket when standing still in fly
season, and of the boon to him OF
screens in the stable to keep out the
insects that bite and sting.
"He would plead for as cool and
comfortable a stable as possible in
which to rest after a days work un-
der the hot sun.
"He would suggest that living
through a warm night in a narrow
stall neither properly cleaned MOI
bedded is suffering for him and poor
economy for the owner.
she would say that turning the
hose on him altogether too risky a
thing to do unless you are looking
for a sick horse. Spraying the legs
and feet when he is not too warm on
a hot day he would find agreeable.
"He would say: please sponge out
my eyes and nose and dock when
come in tired and dusty at night, and
also sponge me with clean cool water
under the collar and saddle of the

Bus Tours.

Niagra Falls has a rival for the
honeymoon trade. A bus company in
Ohio has mapped out motor tours
which will follow the Lincoln high
way in a general way and which will
take in various big cities and fam
Gus spots such as Civil War battle
fields and other historical points.
One such tour includes New York,
Philadelphia, the battle fields Of
Gettysburg, Washington, Baltimore,
Atlantic City, Mount Vernon, Cum
berland and Pittsburgh. Within any
city special sightseeing trips will be
arranged to cover the ground thor
oughly. Drivers are being carefully
selected with an eye to patrons SAT-
ETY. of life and limb, and every posi-
BILE provision for the comfort of pas
SengerS is beng made.
In time no doubt there will be bus
tours following all the fine national
motor routes. Persons not owning
automobiles will be able to enjoy all
the pleasures of this modern vaca-
tioning without any of the response
bility of family touring. Also, of
course, they will have to go without
the privacy and complete freedom of
the self conducted trip. That would
be a drawback to many persons, but
to many others the new way will
prove a genuine blessing.-Green-
