Samuel A. Derieux's dogs, including
Frank of Freedom Hill," seem more
doglike to me. One could even imagine
them having feas. They do have adj
ventures, TOO; but mostly they are oc-
cupied with hunting, and their exploits
are more within their natural sphere.
The story Of Mac, the blind setter, has
genuine pathos and some very good
writing. The authors style in gem
eral is pleasing and unaffected; and
just as his dogs are generally quite
.credibly doggish, his human characters
are agreeabIy human. An excellent
piece of worf altogether of ita kind.

Mr.. Terhune, the historian of Lad"
pro badly knows more about dogs than
do. He easily could. But he ought
to convince me of the reality of the
phenomena he relates. LAD is pretty
hard to believe in. Collies undoubted-
ly are uncannily clever; but dog that
had as many adventures as Lad would
die of nervous exhaustion in middle
life; or his owner would. Lads career
is just one long succession of bur
glaries, fires, kidnapings, and assault
with battery. Always he is equal to
the occasion; he chases off trespassers,
captures thieves and retrieves their
loot, rescues drowning men, finds
stolen infants, and teaches manners
and morals to all and sundry. To have
such dog around would be worse than
being afflicted with regiment of Boy
Scouts all desperately intent upon their
one good deed per diem. And Mr..
Terhune's rather hysterical style. his
incessant piling up of the agony and
adjectives, is almost equally wearing.
Still, if you are dog lover. no doubt
you'll like this book. The B. & O. box

Says Sherman Did Not Say

Middletown, May 27.-Thomas D..

mayor and officials of the city OF
Fayetteville, N. c., came out Of the
city and pleaded with the general
not to invade the town.
General Sherman told them he
would not enter the city if they
would lay down their arms and come
back into the Union. Until you do,
the general told them, we will have
to go on. War is cruel. I cannot re-
fine it. I will make as great sacrifices
today as any of you gentlemen, but

be transplanted to pots or to shall
low box or tray filled with soil and
kept in a warm, sunny place until the
weather is quite warm. Eggplant re-
quires rich soil and good cultivation.
Occasional applications of very weak
liquid manure also benefit the plants
greatly.
Eggplant is attacked by several
kinds Of insects, the most trouble
some of these being the little flea
beetle which works upon the leaves,
filling them full Of small round holes.
AS a remedy, dust the plants thor
oughly with air-slaked lime or very
fine tobacco dust. BY removing the
fruits of the eggplant as soon as they
attain good size the plants can be
kept fruiting until killed by frost.
Black beauty and improved large pur-
pie are among the leading varieties.

The Hazels to Leave Saluda.

w. Grady Hazel has procured an
attractive residence in Johnston,
which he and his family expect to oc-
cupy in the near future. Mr.. Hazel
is making the move in order that he
may devote more attention to his
printing business, which continues to
show a steady increase in volume de-
spite the general depression. In john
ston, Mr.. Hazel will find in his neigh
bors old friends, he having lived there
until the beginning of his college ca
reer.
The departure of the Hazels will
mean a distinct loss to Saluda. No
couple in the town, young or old, we
believe, enjoys a FULLER measure Of
the confidence and esteem of the peo-
pie generally than do they. Mrs. Ha-
zeps affiliation with the various So
cial and religious enterprises of the
town, has resulted in their permanent
benefit, while Mr.. Hazel's energy and
business acumen have contributed
substantially to the commercial pro-
gress of Saluda. We regret to see
them and their little daughter depart,
even for such hospitable and pro-
gressive a community as Johnston
Saluda Standard.

ox.WARBLE is COSTLY PEST
Loss Caused by Decrease in Milk Flow,
Destruction of Hides and Meat
Wastage.

"The little ox-warble means an ac-
tual cash loss of S5O,000,O00 to the
United States each year," stated F. G.
Bishop, of Dallas, Tex, In an address
before the American Association for
the Advancement Of Science, at their
meeting in Toronto, recently.
"The loss comes" he said, through
a falling off in the milk flow, illness
among the cattle, due to irritation and
worry, destruction Of hides and vast
age of meat when the beast finally
goes to the block"
"When tie grubs reach the back OF
the ANIMAL" said the speaker, "they
make their presence apparent by the
lump or swelling their body causes.
Gradually they make their way out
through the back of the animal and
drop off, to begin all over again their
life history The only hope of dealing
with the pest lies in energetic action
by cattle owners in working out and
destroying the MARBLES from the backs
of their stock. The herd should be
gone over Systematically every 30
days, the grubs squeezed out and de-
stroyed. Of course, even then, there
is loss because Of the holes left in the
hide; FIVE punctures Of the back or
sides by MARBLES reduce any hide to
NJ. grade"

When to Apply Soda.

Clemson College, May ga
great many farmers are asking the
question When should soda be applied
to cotton and corn? The following
suggestions on the subject are given
by Prof. Blackwell, Agronomist.
When nitrate of soda is to be used
on cotton as a side application it
should be applied early in the season.
On heavy soils it may BE put under
the crop at planting time with good
results. Where this has not been
done, however, and side applications
are to be made, these should be made
Immediately after chopping or in any
case by the time the cotton begins to
form squares. A late application of
soda to cotton under boil weevil con-
ditions will injure the crop ordinar-
lily rather than help it.
Side applications of soda for corn
should be put on early. The old idea
that nitrate of soda teaches out quick
ly and that it should be put on at
clay by" time or when the corn
punches to tassel has been proven to
be erroneous. That is too late for best
results. Soda will give best results
when applied to corn when the plants
are knee high or waist high.

DATA ON MARRIAGES
Proportion of Married Men Has
Gone Up, Says Census.
Probably More Indicative Of Change In
Age Composition of Population
Than Growing Propensity
to Matrlmony.

Washington.-The proportion of mar.
ried men to the total male population
of the country fifteen years Of age and
over increased from 55.8 per cent to
59.2 per cent in the ten years preceding
the 1920 census, according to COM
pilation of marital statistics made pub
lie by the census bureau.
The bureau believed, however, that
this was probably more Indicative Of
change in the age composition Of the
population-an increase in the percent
age of males between fifteen and
twenty-five years of age due to in
creased immigration-than a growing
propensity to matrimony.
Of the total male population of 3d.
9OO,431 above the tifteen-year classifi-
cation the census figures showed 21,-
849,2 ,266 married, 1,75S, ,308 widowed and
235, 5,2Sl divorced, the latter figure, how
ever, including none divorced and re-
married. The divorce total showed an
increase of 20 per cent in its ratio to
the total population during the ten
year period, constituting six-tenths OF
1 per cent Of the latter against i've
tenths in 1910.
Although due to the absence Of the
wives of many foreign-born residents.
the number of married women was
shown to be about 100000 less than the
male total, the number Of divorced
women exceeded men by approximately
10000, representing closely the differ
snce between the number Of men and
women remarked after divorce.
BY states, Massachusetts led the field
in the proportion Of single women with
a percentage of 34.4, although the Dis
trict of Columbia exceeded this with
37.3 per cent. The census bureau point
ed out, however, that the ratio of men
to women In the population naturally
has very important bearing on the
proportions of single men and women"
Wyoming led with 70.5 per cent in the
proportion of married women, while
62.S per cent was shown for Mississippi
and Arkansas, and the smallest, 45.9
per cent, for Nevada.

CLEANING AND GRADING SEED
No Other Single Farm Operation
Which Gives Larger Returns in
Producing Crops.

There is no single farm operation
so easily and cheaply done, which
gives larger returns than the thorough
cleaning and grading Of all seed sown.
Besides cleaning out the weed seeds,
the light weight seeds are taken out
when the Job is properly done, thus
preventing the reproduction of The
poorer plants. This practice carried
on year after year permits the In
crease of the best and kills out the
poorest. Thorough cleaning and
grading Of all seeds planted Is the
first step toward a successful crop.
There Is no time like tho present to
put the seed in proper shape for plant
ing.

Statement by Commander
Booth.

Evangeline Booth, Commander of
the Salvation Army in the United
States, in a statement just issued,
published in the New York Times, de-
clares that since the enactment of
the Volstead act drunkenness among
the poor has almost entirely disap-
peraed. The announcement, she said,
was based on facts reported by secre-
taries of the Salvation Army in all
parts of the country to whom she
sent a QUESTIONABLE regarding their
observations in Salvation Army head
quarters, shelters and hotels.
"Our social secretaries replied
that cases of drunkenness are now
the exception among men who fire.
quent our hostelries, shelters and in
dustrial ho1nes," the survey said.
"More than two million beds were
supplied by the Salvation Army last
year, and it is on these two million
cases that our secretaries base their
answers. In one hostelry it was re-
ported that 120 men who have never
been known to keep dollar more
than "a hours now have bank ac-
counts of considerable size. In anoth-
er hotel twenty-five men of the sort
who before prohibition could not
keep a dime now have deposits rang
ing from s10O to $500. These are
unusually bright instances, but every
where the workers of the Salvation
Army have found a marked increase
in thrift and prosperity and a de-
crease in drunkenness"
SIN refutation of the charge that
drunkenness has increased since pro-
hibition, Commander Booth cites the
fact that the Salvation Army's an
nual 'Boozers' Day when drunken
men and women were collected from
the streets, fed, clothed and prayed
with, has been abandoned and the day
has been given over to entertaining
the news boys and poor youngsters
of the city.
Because prohibition has cleared
our park benches of drunkards, we
are able to entertain 5000 boys un-
der fourteen years old in New York
city on this day, these boys being ben
,eftted because one of the greatest
curses of humanity has been placed
beyond the reach of men and wo-
men,"

The Origin of Memorial Day.

In a Memorial day address dellv-
cred in 1879, Chauncey M. Depew
told of the origin of the custom
among the women Of the South.
when the war was over" he said,
Gin the South, where, under warmer
skies and with more poetic tempera-
ment, symbols and emblems are bet
ter understood than in the practical
North, mothers and children of the
Confederate dead went about and
strewed their graves with flowers.
At many places the women scattered
the flowers impartially also over the
unmarked resting places of the I'm
ion soldiers.
AS the news of this touching trib-
ute flashed over the North, it reused,
as nothing else could have done, ma
tional amity and love and allayed sec
tional animosity and passion. 1t thrill
ed every household where there was a
vacant chair by the freside and an
aching void in the heart for the lost
hero whose remains had never been
found; old wounds broke out afresh,
and in mingled tempest of grief
and joy the family cried: Maybe it
was our darling
"Thus out of sorrows common
alike to North and South came this
beautiful custom. But Decoration day
no longer belongs to those who
mourn. 1t is the common privilege Of
us all, and will We celebrated as long
as gratitude exists and flowers
bloom"
There is some doubt as to who de-
serves the honor for having first sug-
gested memorial day. At least a
dozen different women of the South
have claimed it. Mrs. Sue Landon
Vaughn is often credited with hav-
ing first expressed the idea for gen
eral memorial day. April 26, 1865,
she led southern women in strewing
with flowers the Confederate graves
in Vickburg. Three years later May
80 was adopted throughout the North
as Memorial day. Mrs. Vaughn died
in 1911. She was descendant of
John Adams, the second President of
the United States. Mrs. Joseph H.
Morgan of Atlanta also seems to have
somewhat of a title to the honor.

Reversible Costume is Latest
Thing in Paris.

Paris, May 27.-Reversible cos
tunes are the latest invention to aid
the woman who hasn't time between
tea and dinner to change her appear
ance for the evening.
An American took a girl to tea at
the Ritz and suggested dinner and the
theatre that night.
"I'll just go up to my room and
DRESS" he said. "But" he hesitated,
I suppose it will take you an hour or
two"
'sTm dressed already" said the
girl.
Before a looking glass she took off
her cape, blue on the outside and
black on the inside and turned it in
side out. Then she undid a button on
each shoulder and with a few quick
motions changed her high cut after
noon gown into an evening robe with
a deep V and bare shoulders. Taking
out her handbag parcel of lace she
hung it round her waist, letting it
fall over her skirt almost to her an
kles. The bag next disclosed "head-
ache bank" of emeralds, dexterously
fixed over her forehead, and veil
thrown over her hair.
In fifteen minutes, after a touch
of powder and rouge-also from the
handbag--she was transformed and
ready for the evening while her male
escort remained in his tweeds.
