ALL READY FOR MEETING
Final Arrangements Completed for
Community Gathering-Moblcy
Is An Able Speaker

Final arrangements have. been
completed for the pig community
meeting for the discussion of dairy
farming and every indication points
to a large attendance.
The meeting will be held Monday
May 22nd, at 1890 a. M, at the
court house and every man, woman
and child is invited. Visiting dele
cations will be heartily welcomed.
Mr.. H. S. Mcbley, who will assist
the local people in conducting the
meeting, will do all he can to help
build up this community as dairy
center. He is very able speaker
and is widely known in agricultural
circles throughout the United States.
More important to this copmun-
ity is the fact that Mr.. Mobley has
for many years successfully con-
Quoted a dairy farm right here in the
South. HE'S not theoretical. He is
practical. The information he inl-
parts he has learned by experience.
He is connected with the agrlcui-
tural extension department Of the In
ternational Harvester company which
concern is sending him here for the
sole purpose of helping this COM
munity get in line with the other
Southern states in the great move
ment which promises to make the
South the greatest and most prosper
Gus dairy section Of the country.
Mr.. Mobley has been conducting
similar meetings all over the South
and the Walton, Georgia, Times says
of meeting at that place:
"Mr. Mobley does not attempt to
show the farmers how to run their
own farms, for, as Mr.. Mobley says,
In many instances they know much
more than we can hope to tell them
about running their farms, because
they are in touch hwith local condl-
tons and understand local problems
they are in touch with local condi-
"His only purpose was to tell the
farm man and woman of the things
that are being done in other COM
munities that can be successfully ap-
Piled to farm work here, and to give
them a new viewpoint that will offer
incentive to renewed and more pro-
gressive effort
Don't forget the slogan: make the
cow your partner

Mr. Harvey said last night in
telephone conversation that he would
suggest noon Saturday as the time
for the change to be made if this
would be agreeable to Governor
Cooper. The chief executive said
almost any time would suit him. and
the noon hour therefore will likely
be the time.
Governor Cooper is retiring earlier
IN order that he may attend to some
nersonal affairs before taking up MS
residence in Washington. He found
that to continue in the governors OF
fee until June l practically preclud-
ed any attention to personal affairs
as the business of the Office is rather
heavy at present.
The governor plans to go to Wash
ington Saturday night or Sunday ana
qualify as member of the federal
farm loan board Monday. He Will re-
main in Washington several days and
then return to Columbia to get ms
business in condition to make the

of Governor Cooper, state ofhcials

preme court who are here and lntl-
mate friends.

HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO PUT
ON ANTI.TYPHOID CAMPAIGN

The Newberry county health unit
is particularly anxious to reduce the
prevalence of typhoid fever in New
berry county to minimum this sum-
mer and eventually to have it said
that this disease is unknown in our
county.
During August and September of
1921, DR.. Kneece put on campaign
for the administration of anti-ty-
phoid vaccines, which proved very
successful, for the limited time it was
stressed, there having been some
thing like three thousand individual
innoculations administered. BY far
the greatest number of these were
at Whitmire, and in the Maybinton
section, with Chappells and Little
Mountain close followers. Several
other places were included in the
itinerary and some response obtained
at all.
This summer we wish to begin the
first week in June and continue for
eight weeks or longer as we see flt
The schedule of appointments will be
slightly different from last summer,
and will cover every section of New
berry county, or at least be easily &C
cessible to every district.
In addition to the administration
of the anti-typhoid vaccine, we hope
to gain still further protection from
filth and fy-born disease, by encour-
aging careful screening Of homes
sanitation of premises and preven-
ton Of soil pollution.
Details and schedule Of places
and dates will be announced IN the
near future.

CHILD LABOR LAW
is UNCONSTITUTIONAL
To Restrict Child Labor Congress
Taxed Products of Children in
Interstate Commerce

Washington, D. c., May 15.-Su-
preme court of the United States
Monday held void the child labor tax
law of 1919. The decision was hand
ed down by Chief Justice Taft.
Constitut;onality of the federal
child labor tax act was involved IN
the appeal to the United States su-
preme court by Collector of Internal
Revenue J. W. Bailey, North Carroll
ma. of a suit against the Drexel Fur
piture company to collect the tax.
The North Carolina district court held
the tax unconstitutional.
To prevent or restrict employment
of child labor in mill, factory and
quarries, congress laid a special tax
on products by children from such
places of employment which enter
into interstate commerce. The law
was enacted in 1919 and protests
against its enforcement have been
general in district federal courts.
The Atherton Mills case, brought
originally in North Carolina to test
the law, was dismissed, as were other
cases, the Drexel case being suhstl-
tuted by the government for the su-
preme court to pass on.
| In the Atherton case one Johnston
sought to restrain the mills from dis
charging his minor sons because of
! the tax carried by the federal law.
Since then the minors have become
of age.
In dismissing the other cases the
court held that the mill men had
failed to perfect suits by paying the
: tax under protest and then moving
to recover it. The tax had not been
paid the court found, although the
law provides no court can enjoin the
government from collecting taxes
which it claims IS due.

To the Chapters cf the American
Red Cross

Floods in the valleys of the ILL
nois. Ohio and Mississippi rivers have
caused death, great loss of property
and thousands Of families to be
without shelter, food or proper clo-
thign. Thirty-one thousand homeless
are being fed by the Red Cross IN the

tees, at many places in Illinois and
on the Mississippi river south OF st.
Louis, particularly in the states OF
Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana.
The first needs have been met by
national headquarters appropriations
of approximately 100000.
There is great work to be done ur-
I'll the stricken people who have lost
their all can be reestablished in home
life. At least 100000 will be re-
quired by the Red Cross. There
should BE generous assistance for
these struggling communities; and
the health and comfort OF destitute
men. women and children should have
every possible attention.
The chapters are requested lmnne-
diately to solicit contributions to be
administered by the national organl-
cation of the American Red Cross
through the state and local commit
tees which it has organized, or
through which it is discharglng re-
sponsibility for relief work.
Contributions may be made for
use at any designated place or in any
specific territory, or for distribution
according to the actual necessity for
help, at the discretion of the national
organization. Chapter officers will
report and forward the money which
they collect to the respective division
offices.

GOVT. DECLINES TO PARTICI- >
PATE AT HAGUE CONFERENCE
Proposed Hague Meeting Referred to
as Nothing More than Continu-
alice of Genoa Conference

Washington, May 15.-This gov
ernment today declined to participate
in the economic conference to be held
at The Hague starting June Is, for
the consideration of the Russian
problem.
The reply of Secretary of State
Hughes, drafted after a White House
conference with President Harding
late today, was made public at the
state department tonight.
The text of the reply follows:
"This government has carefully
considered the invitation extended to
it by the president of the Genoa con-
ference, under the conditions set
forth in the agreement Of the inviting
powers, to join the proposed COM
mission to meet at the Hague on
June 18th. This government is most
desirous to aid in every practicable
way the consideration of the econom-
ic exigencies in Russia and wishes
again to express the deep friendship
felt by the people of the United
States for the people of Russia and
their keen interest in all proceedings
locking to the recovery Of which
their capacities and resources entitle
them. The American people have
given the most tangible evidence OF
their unselfsh interest in the econom-
ic recuperation of Russia and this
movement would be msot reluctant
to abstain from any opportunity OF
helpfulness.
"This government, however, is un-
able to conclude that it can helpfully
participate in the meeting at the
Hague as this would appear to be
continuance under different nomen-
clature of the Genoa conference and
destiel to encounter the same diff
cult;es if the attitude disclosed in the
Russian memorandum Of May 1ltth
remains unchanged.
''The inescapa5le and ultimate
question would appear to be the res
toration of productivity in Russia,
the essential conditions of which are
to be still secured and must in the
nature of things be provided within
Russia herself.
"While this government has bellev-
ed that these conditions are reason
ably clear, it hasalways ben ready to
ioin with the governments extending
the present invitation in arranging
for an inquiry by experts INTO the
economic situation in Russia and the
necessary remedies. Such an inquiry
would appropriately deal with the
economic prerequisites of that res
toration of production in Russia with
out which there would appear to be
lacking any sound basis for credits.
1t should be added that this govern
ment is most willing to give serious
attention to any proposals issuing
from the Genoa conference or any
later conference, but regards the
present suggestion, in apparent re-
:ponse to the Russian memorandum
Of May II, as lacking, in view of the
terms of that memorandum in the
defn:teness which would make pos
sible the concurrence of this govern
ncnt in the proposed plan"
The inviting powers referred to in
the cabled summary of the proposed
plan are understood to be Italy,
Belgium, Great Britain and Japan.

REMNANT OF
OLD WEST IN CODY

J.. D. Woodruff of Shoshoni, who,
although more than 20 years of age,
held his own with the husky young
'hard-twists" at the Stampede Ball,
seems never to write anything that Is
not worth printing. A letter received
after his return is no exception and
it is herewith printed because of what
he has to say of his impression Of
our Home Town.
THAT Stampede Ball surely was a
swell affair; everyone enjoyed 1t,
and there was nothing happened that
the most particular person could OBJ
ject to unless it is taboo to live.
81 congratulate Cody and its people
upon the atmosphere of good feeling
which is recognized upon stepping
off the train. The smiles of welcome
and the hearty handshake assures the
traveller that he has reached a rem
nant of the good old West, when
everyone was considered to be in
good standing until he proved himself
otherwise, and not as is the present
custom, and a necessity, to look on
every stranger with suspicion, know
ing that he is liable to be a louise
trying to put up some sort of a job
to get you into trouble.
One cannot help but like Cody and
l hope it may be my good fortune to
go there often"

GOVT HUNTERS ACCOUNT
FOR 1877 KILLERS IN
MONTH OF NOVEMBER

A total of 1877 animals, of which
1856 were in the true predatory class,
we're exterminated in Wyoming in
November according to the monthly
bulletin issued by Charles j. Dyer,
predatory animal inspector with
headquarters in Cheyenne.
In the list are 1T coyotes, eight
bobcats three badgers, one ferret,
one skunk and sever porcupines. The
hunters worked a total Of $40 days,
making an average of nineteen hunt
ers figured on a thirty day basis.
AS November was an exceptionally
bad and stormy month, none of the
hunters were able to make the neces-
sary twenty-five points to have their
names appear on the honor roll.
