The revival services that have been
in progress here for the last two
wees, came to a end last night, when
the Christian ordinance of baptism
was administered by Gods ordained
servant, Rev. H. Haydock. 1t has
been a very successful meeting from
the start to ending, each night the
beautiful building just finished, filled
to overfowing with people from far
and near, pressing closer and closer to
hear cur great divine evangelistic
visitor, Rev. Thos. d. Toler. The last
evening of these services were heart
rending, men, women, boys and girls
yielding their lives, their all, to the
will of God. Such brotherly love pre-
vailed during all the meeting; the 9TH
er churches coming out in force to
press around the altar and let Gods
spirit have full sway, and alas last
night the Baptist church was the
scene of the most beautiful baptisms
/ ever witnessed In some cases men
and wives, in others fathers and moth
ers, came to the waters to be healed
and to obey God and, too, so many
bright young girls and boys came into
the pool and washed and were made
whittier than snow. "Hallelulah, Tis
Done, 1 believe on the Son, Pm saved
by the blood of the crucifed one"
Mon-Aetna church threw herself
soul and body into this series of meet
ings and backsliders were restored
Others came under the watchcare un-
til letters were received and a grand
total of 90 by baptism were gladly
and graciously received into our
church. Brother T. B. Toller com.
pletely captured the children here and
there little hearts were sad tonight
when the curtain fell and the last
scene came to a delightful ending.

Samara, Russia, May S.-(By tn,
Associated Press).-There is ampl,
ilVe stock in Samara province to work
the helds and harvest the crop of 1926
despite the fact that it suffered mos,
severely from the famine. The rug.
ged, shaggy, little horses, great
groaning camels and slow MOVING
oxen OF the famine regions have with.
stood the winters hunger as well OF
even better than the sturdy peasants
In isolated spots totally lacking in
food the livestock as well as the peo-
PIE has suffered tremendous mortality
thousands of draft animals have fall
en- dead in the road while hauling pre-
cious food over the SHOWS to the viii
Iages. Others have been slaughtered
Tor food but by far the great proper
tion have gone through the winter and
now, with green pasture only a month
or so of, are in fair shape for work.
M. Ryazonoff, commissar for apri-
culture of Samara province, says there
are still more than 100000 head of
workable live stock left or 80 per cent
OF those available in 1921.
Peasants who have seen members
OF their own families and neighbors
die of hunger have saved their cam
els, horses and oxen. Except in viii
lagos where starvation knew no
bounds, they have not killed their
teasts, even when they knew that a
few pounds of horse flesh might mean
weeks life to themselves.
Horses were more precious than hu-
mans. Without livestock no food could
be brought from the railways and the
seed for next years crop would lie
useless in the box cars far from the
fields.
Ragweed and other vegetation ordi-
harily considered of no food value
have been used for forage. The ami
mails have been able to do only about
half the world that a. well fed beast
would do. Most of them, particularly
the camles present a woebegone an
pearance. These dromedaries groan
continuously as they lumber along the
snow roads at rate of three to four
miles an hour, protesting over every
bump or snow drift in the road.
Nevertheless, they drag loads of
more than ton Is to 20 miles a day.
The horses pull at least half of this
load.
Even with the scarcity and dearness
of forage, the peasants whom the cor
respondent encountered were not SELL
ing their live stock cheaply. Before
the revolution, a good big work camel
in Samara province could be bought
for 40 to so rubles. This represented
$40 to $25. The 10000 900 to O,OOO.-
600 rubles enow asked for camels in
this district represents only about
half that amount when figured in gold
but, compared with prices asked for
other commodities, live stock is still
held at high figure.

Improvement of Postal System

Washington, May 5.-Congress de-
sires that the postal system of the
country be efficient, that it's personnel
be contented and that the service be
self-supporing so that "it will not be
burden to the Taxpayers" declared
Representative Steenerson, of Mime
sofa, chairman of the House Postoffice
Committee, in a communication today
to Postmaster General Work who had
asked the chairman's opinion as to
how best the service might be i'm
proved.
Representative Steenerson asserted
that congress was prosecuting
through efficiency engineers and pos
tai experts an intensified study of
postal conditions in the large cities,
and had made recommendations to the
Postoffice Department which have
been put into effect for better SANTA
tion and better working quarters for
employees. The Joint Postal Commits
sion has recommended, he said, that
mail matter be handled with more
speed in New York by reestablishing
sea post service and .harbor-boat SER
vice. An inquiry is, now being made
by the commission, he declared, into
the cost of handling different classes
of mail and the revenue from each,
80 as to enable the department to 10.
cate losses and so adjust the service
and expenses as to have balanced
postal budget.
Many important measures for the
Improvement of the postal system are
new before congress, Mr.. Steenerson
said, among which he added might be
mentioned bill to amend laws relat-
ing to the postal savings system by
raising the interest rate from two to
three per cent and increasing the
maximum deposits from $4,000 to $5,-
900.
"This measure, it is believed" Mr..
Steenerson said, will bring hundreds
of millions of dollars out of boarding
and stimulate business throughout the
country"
There is also pending before con-
gress, he explained, bill repeating
the limitation of the length of rural
routes to 36 miles, which, it was said,
would if enacted extend rural delivery
to many thousands, of families now
denied such service, a bill authorizing
contract air-mail service which will
expedite the mails and encourage
commercial aviation without expense
to the government"

A Bit of Philosophy

A famous hotel man, who is also a
philosopher, once made a remark that
would apply to almost any business.
"The7i greahsst mistake" he de-
clared, What is commonly made, by
employees and managers is to exert
themselves more for the comfort of
an Old-time customer than for new
one" According to all rules Of hospi-
tality and logic, the person who should
receive the most effort for his enter
taiament within ones doors is the
newcomer. In your own home you
would not think Of making a great
fuss over man who had been enter
tanned there before, and more or less
ignore another fellow who is receiving

Books Open Until June

Columbia, May 8.-Although over
42O,OO0 bales have already been sign.
ed up and the original quota was only
100000, officials of the South Carolina
Cotton Growers Cooperative associa
ton announce that the books will be
kept open until June 1 and opportun-
ity given those who have not yet
joined to affiliate with the organiza-
ton. 1t is expected that at least 5OO,-
600 bales will have been signed up BY
June l.
The campaign to sign up 400 900
bales by May 1 is declared by many
to have been one of the greatest cam
paigns ever waged in South Carolina
and there has been much publication
among those interested in the move
nent over the wonderful victory won.
"The larger the percentage Of crop
the association signs, the more effec-
tive will be the results obtained" says
g statement issued by the association
in announcing a continuance of the
campaign. "Those who do not sell
their cotton through the association
sell in competition with the associa-
tion and against us. Naturally we
want to get every bale in the associa-
tion we can because it helps the stu
alton for the farmers of the state that
much. We believe that there are many
farmers who are now ready to sign
up. They will have the opportunity
during the next three weeks of lining
up with their brother farmers instead
of lining up against them"

The Standard Spray for Plant
Diseases is the Bordeaux

pound of fresh stone lime for each
pound of bluestone, adding enough
water to make one gallon for each
pound OF lime used. Thus if you use
tour pounds of bluestone you will have
four gallons of lime solution.
To prepare the spray for use. nut

not spray nozzle, and with good
pressure direct the stream back into
the tank. Then while the pump is
running strong, pour in slowly one
quart of the lime solution. Pour the
lime water slowly and let it enter the
liquid in the tank at the same point
where the bluestone spray is being
pumped in. This insures quick and
thorough mixing. After the mixing is
complete, continue to pump the solu-
ton back into itself for a minute or
two. Give careful attention to strain
ing.
Do not use muddy water. Well wa
ter is better than warm stream or
tank water.
Spray as soon as the dilution is
made, since it should be applied while
fresh
Another way for mixing the solu-
ton is this: Add three quarts of
water to one quart of bluestone stock
solution and three quarts of water to
one quart of lime stock solution Pour
these together slowly and stir vigor-
ously all the while. (For large quan-
titles of spray material increase the
two solutions by any equal number
of gallons desired).

lead paste) is added to this solution.
It becomes highly effective in DESTROY
ing chewing insects. A little more
than teaspoonful of nicotil sui
phate added to eight quarts of the
mixture will be effective against suck
ing insects.
Dusting.
For caterpillars, beetles and other
chewing insects poison powder applied
with force is one of the earliest and
most effective means of control, and
every gardener should be provided
with dust gun. Mix one part of ar
senate of lead powder with eight parts
OF air-slaked lime or finely sifted
ashes or road dust. Apply literally
and preferably when the plants are
wet with dew.
For Plant Lice.
Many gardeners have difficulty in
controlling this insect. This is eff
fectiv": Dissolve one ounce of soap in
a pint of water. Dissolve one tea
spoonful of nicotine sulphate in pint
of water. Mix well and add three
quarts to make gallon. Spray with
force, using a fine nozzle. If leaf to-
bacco is available it makes a good
substitute for the nicotine sulphate
# properly prepared. Boil one pound
of tobacco in water for half an hour
strain and add water to raise to two
or three gallons. 1t is then ready for
use. These two solutions may also be
used with some effect against the har-
lequin or calico bugs.

Arab Robin Hood.

Al Ikbal an Arabic newspaper, re- ports the escape from Ceylon, whither he was expelled by the British gov ernment from Mesopotamia, of the no- torious Sayid Taleb claimant to the throne of 1rak, and known from Basra to Bagdad as the Arab Robin Hood. He Is stated to be seeking a refuge In the country of Ibn Saud, the sultan of Nejd, who, according to Moslem law, will be compelled to offer him hospi- tality. No news of Taleb's escape, however, has reached official circles in London, where 1t Is declared that Ibn Saud, who is in receipt of a subsidy of f60,OO0 a year from the British gov ernment, will doubtless inform the high commissioner of Mesopotamia of the arrival of his unwelcome guest. Sayid Taleb attempted to influence the re- cent royal election in Mesopotamia in his favor by corruption and bribery, and he was about to declare var on the British government with a handful of followers when he was expelled.

Is correct and as indicated upon the tag
 Careless weighing on wagon scales causes as much difficulty as careless weighing by any other method. One of the principal causes of unsatlsfac- tory weights upon wagon scales Is lack of proper care of the scales and of the necessary attention to keep them in repair and in good working order. Accurate weights cannot be obtained on scales that are out of repair. Wagon scales should be inspected ire quently by a competent inspector and care should be taken to see that they are in proper adjustment and balance before weighing any lot or load of hay
 Care must be taken also to see that the load Is in proper position upon the scales. The load should not bind upon the scale box or building, and if the team exerts any. effect upon the load it should be unhitched.
 When obtaining the tare weight the weigher should be certain that the wagon contains the same equipment as when the gross weight was ob- tained. A good rule Is to remove ev- erything but the necessary equipment from the load before weighing
 Keep Bale Check When Loading.
 If the producer or shipper loads the hay directly into the cars care is espe- cially necessary to compute the total weight correctly Loads are frequent ly distributed in two or more cars because of the variation in the Qual- ity of the hay. If the bales are tagged, a careful record should be kept of the bales placed in each car. If not tagged the part of the load placed in each car should be weighed separately. A careful check of the total number of bales placed in each car should also be kept so that the shipper may have the proper data upon which to base a claim should any loss occur while the hay is moving to market.
 The following suggestions, If fol- lowed, will greatly assist in elIminat- ing some of the troubles caused by improper weighing methods:
 When using tag weights record the actual current weight.
 Have wagon scales in proper adjust ment and balance.
 See that wagon contains same equip ment when weighing both the gross and tare weight.
 When loading two or more cars keep careful record of hay loaded in, each car.
 Always keep a bale record, together with a weight record, of each car.

Prspared by the Unr ed States Dspartun ent of Agriculture)
 A great deal of trouble and none tary loss sustained by producers and shippers in marketing hay has been found by the bureau of markets and crop estimates United States Depart ment of Agriculture to be due to careless weighing.
 Weighing by the Bale.
 Tn several sections of the country 1t is the custom to weigh hay by the bale at the time for baling and to note the weight upon a tag made of card board or other convenient material at tached to the bale beneath one of the bale ties. When weighing by this method great care should be taken to weigh the hay accurately. During the rush of baling operations sufficient time is frequently not allowed for the scales to come to a balance and there may be as much as ten pounds diff ference between the actual and the catch weight.
 Special care should also be taken In writing the correct weight upon the tag, say the bureaus specialists. It Is the common practice in some sec tions to use only numbers ending in 0 or In recording the weight, and to give or take from the actual weight a sufficient amount to make a number with such an ending. For example, the weight of a bale weighing 67 pounds is written as 6 pounds and that of one weighing 6S pounds as 70 pounds. The tendency, however, Is ito take" more frequently than ito give" 80 that 1t Is a better practice to state the actual weight upon the tag.
 Another practice which Is often charged back to the producer in low CT prices or in weight claims, dispro- portionate to the actual loss, Is the use at a much later date of tag weights placed upon the hay at the time of baling. Unless hay has been thoroughly cured and has been in the now or stack for a considerable time there Is likely to be a loss in weight while hay Is in storage after baling, due to additional loss of mois- ture. Each purchaser desires, and has a right to obtain, the actual quantity of hay for which he pays. If bales are short of the weight specified upon the tags there are grounds for a claim, either in the form of a price conees- sion or of weight claim. In either case the adjustment of the claim is likely to be less economical to the producer than the actual reweghfng of the hay. The producer or shipper should be prepared to prove that the weight of the hay at the time of sale

Tank Cars to Carry MIX.

Tank cars for oil are a common sight, but tank cars for milk are some thing distinctly new. The first install lation of this kind was made recently for a large dairy in Pittsburgh, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. Two 2,5OO-gallon steel tanks are mounted on each car. These tanks are of heavy welded plate steel, with a glass lining, and are insulated with cork. Fused into the metal at extreme heat, the glass forms a smooth surface, which is easily cleaned and will stand se- were usage. Inside each tank is mo- tor-driven agitator. Run for five min utes before emptying the tank, it gives uniformity to the contents.
 Milk chilled to a temperature of 3S to 40 degrees Is maintained at that temperature in the tanks without fur ther refrigeration. Similar tanks are mounted on wagons and motortrucks for hauling the milk from the railroad to the dairy or collecting it along coun- try roads.
