According 10 recognized Wall
Street authority the Maxwell-C hal-
mers combined companies are now
among the strong ones in the motor

the current assets OF the companies
amounted to S25.5OO. 900 with cur
rent liabilities OF only $1,000. 900.
That Is. the current assets amounted
to nearly % times the immed late
Liabilities. These figures disclose

STORIES OF
GREAT INDIANS
RUNNING ANTELOPE'S VIEWS
OF HONESTY OF AGENTS
BY Elmo Scoa loo,son

T. TIE spring of 1874, while the
l. seventh cavalry was stationed at
Fort Abraham Lincoln, n. d. band
of ELukpapa Sioux from reservation
near by came to the fort to nsk Gen.
eral Custer for the food which they
much needed The steamer bringing
dian department had been frozen i'm Ice
i'm .tha Missouri river and they had
been compelled to eat their dogs and
ponies to keep from starving.
Having decided toi seek aid from the
military, they brought with them their
greatest orator. Running Antelope
(Tahincasula Inyanke), u fine-lOOking,
digniiied old warrior, to present their
cause. Running Antelope described at
length the distressing condition of the
tribe and denounced their agent, ac-
cusing all agents of dishonesty.
AT this point General Custer inter-
rupted and asked the interpreter to
say to the chief that the Great Father
selected only good men for agents be-
fo!e sending them out from Washing
ton. When this was explained to Run
ming Antelope be smiled grimly and,
through the interpreter, replied: "Well,
they may be good men when they leave
the Great Father, but they get to be
ID cheats by the time they reach
us
After the council was over, General
Custer invited Running Antelope and
his chiefs into dining room of his
quarters for feast. Dignified and inn
Il, ~. xl,;,, .t,;l
speaking in Il council, he was not so
admirable as Il table companion. After
gorging himself on everything in sight,
he emptied the plates and swept the
remains of the feast from the very
noses of his hcadmcn, into the folds
OF his robe. Then he hplted it at his
waist, making q cupacious haversack,
Gruntrd his appreciation of the hos
pit"lity and stalked from the room.
Although Running Antelope Hld not
learned table manners (according to
whit" mems lights in the tepees OF
his fathers, he was first-class fight
ing man.
The majority of his victims were
members OF the Arikara tribe. His
bag of Arikaras for 1876 was ten war
riOrS and three women. His greatest
single feat was the Staying of five
warriors in one day. In the II years
which the record covers he confesScs,
graphically. to dispatching no less
than 80 of these hereditary foes of the
Sioux, IL record of systematic homicide
which doubtless gave him as great
reputation among his tribcSmen for be-
ing warrior as he enjoyed among the
whites as an orator.

LESS FOR EDUCATION
MORE FOR LUXURY

Washingt Education is the vi
tai element on the success of any ma
tion," said the Hon. John j. Tigert,
United States Commissioner of Edu-
cation, in a public and industrial
teaching in such manufacturing cen
ters as Detroit as an example of the
practical value of education.
Continuing, the commissioner quo
ted statistics proving that the ore and
one-half billion dollars spent on cdu-
cation in the Nation last year, while a
large sum in itself, wa pitiful when
compared with the twenty-five bill
Ions spent for luXurieS.
From these statistics" he said, ct
would appear that the country cares
more for chewing gum, cigars and
cigarettes, and cosmetics shan it ioes
for education"
Education have eelZed upon this
comparison as striking argument
in favor of the Towner-Stcglinw bill,
now before Congress creating De
paftmvnt OF Education, |ltn q See
retary in the Presidents Cabinet.
The bill appropriatcs hundred mil
lion dollars to be spent among the
states in the aid of education. One
hundred millions is the two hundred
and twentieth part Of last year.
countrywide bill for luXuries.
DR.. Tigert drew attention to the
''insidious propaganda spread by
''some agency" against the cxpendi-
ture Of large sums by the Govern
mCnt in aid of education, and termed
the proper and wise use Of money in
education as the salvation of the
country against many of the evils of
ignorance, intolerance, and fanati-
cism, which menaccS its prosperity.

COMMANDER OWSLEY
PLEADS FOR PREPAREDNESS

indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 23.-As-
sorting that thou ands of soldiers
went into the front-line trenches un-
able 10 shoot the rifles they were car
rying, Alvin Owsley, national COM
mander Of the American Legion,
made a plea for preparedness to elm
mate a similar situation in the next
war, at national gathering of Leg
ion state adiutants here.
Mr.. Owsley urged the retaining of
sufficient Army and Navy so that it
would not be necessary to rely up
on ether nations while the United
States is training its armed forces in
any future conflicts.
G. l.. Folbrc, of Dallas, adjutant
of the Texas department, also drew
the attention of the Legion men to
the fact that unframed troops were
sent to the front line during the
World War.
"While serving at the front with
'hS cSu ulNiSloii, L IidlSlcIISu men 10
replacement troops and saw them go
into the front line trenches and shot
down when they could have protected
themselves had they been trained
even in the use of rifles" Mr.. Folbre
said, "Many of these men had been
drafted into service between six
weeks and two months before they
were rushed into action"
The views of the Texas Legion of
ficial were supported by Austen A. Pc
terson, Wisconsin adjutant, who urg-
ed the adjutants "to realize the seri-
BUSINESS of the preparedness situation
at this time, particularly in view Of
the ever increasing danger of the
Turkish and near East question"
Other Legion speakers urged the
adJutants to encourage voluntary
training on a larger scale in the high
schools, colleges, universities, and
physical training in graded schools.
1t was asserted that the enlisted
strength of the regular United States
Army at this time is even below the
latest figure set by congress.

HOME DEMONSTRATION CLUB
MARKETS IN SOUTH CAROLINA

The club markets of South Caro-
lima have attracted wide attention as
is evidenced by the fact that letters
of inquiry relative to their organiZa-
tion have come to the Home Demon
stration Department from interested
parties in % states.
Twenty-eight club markets have
been established in twenty-four coun-
ties; twenty of which are in operation
at the present time. In most counties
the sales are largest during the fruit
season. In the smaller towns The mar
kets are in most cases discontinued
during the winter months.
The total sales of the club markets
during eleven months of 1922 are
$72,320.23. Individual marketing pro-
ducts through this enannel number
$40.
The club markets are being looked
upon every where as permanent in
stitutions, having been of untold as
distance in furnishing financial aid
during these days Of agricultural re-
construction.

NEWBERRY'S SUCCESSOR

The governor of Michigan has APP
Newberry, Mayor James Couzens. 1t
will be remembered that in the re-
cent congressional election those can
didates in several states who voted
for Newberry to retain his purchased
seat were retired to private life. This
made Newberry's seat in the senate
hot for him and he resigned before
the new congress would have 5. "hance
to put him out. The man appointed
to take Newberry's seat was at one
time connected with the Henry Ford
company and it is quite fitting that
he should be appointed to succeed the
man whose money, about 100000,
defeated Henry Ford when he and
Newberry made the race for the
Michigan senatorship.
Mr.. CouZens is a Republican but is
said to be most liberal one, with no
sympathy for the standpatters of his
party. He is a man of great wealth
for good purposes. When Mayor
of Detroit, in order to check the abb
uses of the privately owned street
railway system, he purchased the rail
way and consolidated with new city
lines which gave Detroit municipal
ownership and control of its own
street railway.
Another blessing of the election in
Michigan was the defeat of Senat-
or Townsend who was Newberry's
friend and advocate. He is sue
ceeded by staunch Democrat Gov
ernor Ferris.
The New York World commenting
upon the Michigan senatorial situa-
tion says:
In Mr.. CouZens, Michigan after
nearly four years of the disgrace of
Newberry will again have a Senator
of whom it may be justly proud.
Through him and former Gov. Ferris
it will have cleared itself of the re-
proach of keeping none but mediocre
reactionaries in the upper House of
Congress.

HOME DEMONSTRATION
WORKERS MAKE SPLENDID
SHOWING IN POULTRY-Is22

Poultry work in South Craolina has
never had brighter future. The in
crease in production and the improve
ment in breeding has never been
greater in any one year than in 1922.
Under the supervision of the Home
Demonstration Department, 80
Women's Clubs with COS members,
30 Community and 8 County Poultry
Associations with membership of
629 men and women, and Sc Boys
and Girls Clubs with $50 members,
have had instruction and individual
help in poultry culture. The num-
Der of purebred fowls raised last year
was, 29,S76 as compared with Ill.,
756 this year. The total value of
poultry products sold and used at
home amounts to $135,56S.26.
Reports from the county agents
show that more thon 361 meetings
have been held with Boys and Girls
Clubs and equally as many with ad-
ults. Much marketing of poultry has
oecn done by the agents, and all
found ready sale on the South Caro-
lima markets. OF the $66,39O.48
brought from the poultry sold great
part of it found sale through the help
and suggestions of the Home Demon
| stration Agents.
Several large poultry farms have
been established this year. One is
| keeping this winter 5000 layers, and
number have as many as 1000 hens.
Numbers of large incubators have
been installed and baby chicks by the
thousands will be turned out next
spring.
No state is better suited for tn
production of poultry than South
Carolina and with a little more time,
| our farmers and breeders will keep
pace with the best of poultry produc-
ing states.
From an account of what Judge
Card, Connecticut, had to say about
the quality ofthe Reds at the South
Carolina r. l. Red Show at Ches-
tcrfield: "In variety, South Caro-
lima r. |. Reds Of single comb vari-
ETY. are on par with any exhibit ever
staged in an Eatern Show, including
| the biggest city of the universe. As
a Northern and Eastern judge who
has handled the worlds best, | am
stating without cquivocation or mon
tai reservation that this grand class
of Reds at Chesterfield was far super
Tor to any exhibit / have judged this
season, and would compare favcrably

were In the habit or be6towIhf 41ftS
upon their sovereign. Naturally the
ruler, not wishing to remain under OBJ
legations to them. returned the gift In
a princely fashion. In England, how
ever, especially In the time Of Queen
Elizabeth, this custom became so bur
densome that It occasioned general
protest among the mobiles. "Good
Queen Bess" was not slow to indicate
just what kind Of gifts she expected,
or rather exacted. She let Ii be
known also what consequences would
follow the Withholding Of the Jewels
and the silks which she looked for at
the hands Of her subjects. She was
so niggardly In her own gifts that we
can understand how the custom fell
into disuse and In the time Of George
Nv was abandoned.
The giving of gifts was also very
common among the people. On Christ
mas, and often on st. Stephens day,
employers, parents and masters pre-
sented Christmas boxes to their de-
pendents. 1t was form Of Christ
mas charity. On New Years day,
however gifts were exchanged be-
tween friends and acquaintances as a
sign of good will. This custom, per-
haps, had its origin In the box which
was taken aboard every vessel that
sailed out Of port during the octave
OF Christmas and which was not to
he opened until the return of the YES.
sci. Contributions were to be dropped
into this box. large or small, according
as the day had been propitious or 9TH
erwise. The person to whom the con-
tents Of the box were given was sup
posed to have mass said for the
mariners who had made the gift.
Hence the name of "Christmas boxes"
which were given up to and including
New Years day. Each one Of these
days became known as "boxing day."
