HOW THE CHICKENS GOT
BACK HOME TO RooSI

1t was along about Thanksgiving
day that Mrs. w. NJ. Rayfield, Of near
Patrick, missed eighteen of her best
laying hens from their accustomed
roost,. After little quiet investiga-
tion she got clue that led her to the
home of one of her neighbors.
In telling the officers about it, she
said that she went to this neighbor's
house, accompanied by her husband,
and looking about the place failed to
see any Of her chickens in the yard.
She then began calling chickens and
thought she heard some cackling
down in the woods. Calling her dog,
she went to the woods nearby. She
continued to hear cackling and notic-
ed that a rooster belonging to the
neighbor, was 10th to leave the place
and continued to cackle.
Following her dog into 4 clump of
bushes, she located box in which
wore number of her chickens. With
out any ceremony she removed the
cover, caught up the chickens and
went to the house and showing them
to her neighbors, said, "These are my
Chickens"
81 don't know how they got there
was the reply.
Mrs. Rayfeld swore ou t warrant
for Messrs. s. p. and C. A. Boan and
came to Chesterfield Wednesday to
appear in the case. These gentlemen
had preceded her, however, and had
plead guilty. Magistrate Teal had i'm
posed fine of $25. 90 each,

HAS COOPERATIVE
MARKETING INCREASED
CALIFORNIA; PROSPERITY ?

An official bulletin has just come
from the United States Census Bu-
reau which incidentally sheds a lot
of light on cooperative marketing. T:
Some scoffers have said that they
doubted whether California grow
ers under cooperative marketing had
enjoyed much more prosperity than
other farmers. Well, the United
States Government through its Gen.
sus Bureau has just issued a state
ment naming the fifty richest agri-
cultural counties in the United
States-the fifty counties where
farmers are making most money.
Were any of these richest farm
ing counties in California?
The very first or richest one of all
was one Of the California cooperative
marketing counties.
So was the second richest.
The fourth, seventh and eighth
richest were also California coopera-
tive marketing counties.
In other words, of the eight richest
farming counties in America, five
were from California's cooperative
marketing counties, And Of the entire
list of the fifty richest American

WANT bad CHECK" LAW

Carolina Retail Merchants Associa.
ton, through its legislative commit.
tee, will take an active interest in sew
eral matters to be considered during
the approaching session Of the Gen.
eral Assembly, stated L. H. Wanna
maker, Jr., secretary of the associa-
ton, to-day. The taxation which the
merchants have been compelled to
carry has been particularly heavy and
is out Of proportion to that imposed
upon probably any other class of tax
payers, said .he secretary, who added
than ever before is indicated by re-
only for equitable treatment and that
the principal object of the association
was to obtain that for it's members.
The retail merchants believe that
their spokesmen will be able to con.
vince the authorities that under the
present tax system and practices the
merchants are being Disseminated
against, and that when this is shown
to be the case, appropriate action to
remedy conditions will follow.
Another matter that the State as-
sociation will urge the Legislature to
favorably consider is a more string
ent law against the giving of worth
less checks. That the merchants have
received more bad" checks this fall
that the merchants were contending
ports from all sections of the State
The general opinion is that the pres
ent law Is inadequate and that more
drastic act is necessary to deter peo-
pie from even attempting to obtain
money, goods or credit by means of
checks or drafts given by those who
have no funds to their credit. The
banks will be asked to cooperate in
this matter also, as it is very anoy-
ing to them to handle such a great
number of checks that have to be re-
turned unpaid.
Arrangements have already been
made for the introduction of bills in
the Senate and House and their spon-
sors are confident that some law more
effective than the present one seems
to be will result. Conditions in re-
spect to worthless checks are
apparently not confined to South
Carolina. The Legislature of Alaba-
ma, at recent extraordinary session.
passed a drastic "bad" check act.

We are told that 1.-THE new Ameri-

restful trees, that the pioneers knew.
1t Is an efficiency home of one room,
with concealed bed, restaurant be-
low and common nursery. Every
thing is given over to experts. Amer,
lean love of ease now sits enthroned
in this compact, oneroom efficiency
home" 1t seems to US that this eff
cheney home should be especially pop
ular with adults and celibates; al
though where the community nursery
still quite infrequent-is provided
with all its appurtenances for pro-
noting play and a devoted play
nurse" in charge, it should also have
great attraction for families. Also
from year TO year we find improve
ments added to these new-faShioned
city homes. II is true that society
may be in transition stage and that

cry adult human being will be housed

try is too free for that. 1t is fact
now that each individual, in many in
stances, is limited to IA by 16 feet in
his abode, with a few convenient ac-
cesSory cubbies, but Is that perma-
nent? With all the resources of civil

Seeks Origin of Dancing.

Can it be, in any sense, possible to
conjecture that the origin of dancing
came from the desire to escape from
ones self, into an imaginary world?
In that case, it might also have
been form of madness, as one finds
1t in the Dionysian intoXication at the
Attic festivals, when wine and the
deities, the satyrs and the maenadsa
were closely linked togther, writes
Arthur Symons in the Forum,
Certainly, even now, one of the best
means in escaping from ones self is
dancing: Under fixed conditions, the
only one The question is: Can one
ever escape from ones self?
There are so many means. There
u.s. for instance, a rapture in the dance
which intoxicates every sense to a
point of human infinity; that is, while
one is dancing. After, comes the re-
coil. No rapture can ever be meas
ured; while one endures it, it has no
limits But, alas for ones finite ma
ture. nothing lasts.
