gPRESCOTT.-Eina conditions
throughout the county are in much
better shape than they Were last
year, reports County Assessor c. f.
Gentry. For the past several weeks
the assessors and his deputies have
been lifting property and computing
valuations of taxable wealth in every
part of the county, and fairly COM
plete survey of the business and
financial situation is now available.
Sheep, cattle and wool are in fine
shape, said Assessor Gentry, and
there will probably be some pretty
good offers for spring lambs. AL
though there are very few buyers
in the district at present. one or two
spring cattle sales have been made,
and the tendency of the industry is
to look much better than it did last
year.
In mining general conditions are
showing an appreciable grade
trend. More production this year

representative group raised the figure
to S236S. That was in January, 1921,
when prices were high. For that ap-

agreement is remarkable.

this family of five is s1,434.36. From
these figures it seems fair to assume
that an American family of five cam

today.
How do million families in the
United States who get less than that
cover their deficit? A business firm
with an annual deficit goes bankrupt
and quits: how does a family declare
it's bankruptcy and quit? OF course
such families do not quit, but in a
thousand little ways they absorb
their loss. and that portion of the
u rfasA afal, 11ASsf F-fN h
public pas.
The experts figure on $50 to cover
the health item for g family of five.
Even that won't cover it. but for
families of a lesser income the loss
or deficit, must be absorbed by neg
lecting teeth, letting eyes grow worse.
and by acquiring deformities and in
vaildisms. Part of this deficit the
doctor must pay in the form OF
charity.
Occasionally the mother goes out to
work also in order to augment the
income and so keep the family hon
est, whatever that may mean. She
borrows the mothers time and
strength from the children, which
complexities our social arithmetic but
by no means wipes out the deficit.
1t can't be a matter of indifference
Whether mother is IN the nome OF
out of it. and the deficit may be dis
covered later in the delinquencies OF
the children.
Money does not beget virtue but
poverty does make breeding places
for vice A standard of living belok
which decency does not permit us to
sink is fact which no skill in spend
ing little less or humility OF tastes
starved small can alter or abolish.
We know how some people spend
their margin OF income; it might be
we'll to observe how others juggle
with a deficit. wrestle with it, sink
under it. and are deformed IN body or
soul by it, In no hasty. bolshevistio
way. but with the best brains we
have. we should inaugurate a. de-
termined drive on poverty. There is

Then there is another angle. The welfare of the

How do they know that the meteor which struck

it had not cooled sufficiently to be handled and

We do not see what there is so wonderful about

used to that man pretty drunk who could
hit the earth with his hat in three tries. This
globe is big target and the wonder is that with
many meteors assaulting it they do not do

Once it was believed that the meteorites were
chucked aloft by our own volcanoes and that after
whirling around through space they yielded to the

theories held that the cold and otherwise peaceful

THE GAMBLER

The boys who play the ponies,
The lads who buck the wheel,
The men who rig the market
In railroads, mines or steel
May seem like reckless gamblers
And yet their ways are tame
Compared to all the chances of
The Farmers daring camel
lie CANDLES with the sunshine,
He bets upon the rain.
He shoves his stack acrossthe board
With all to lose or gain;
Against hail, frost and tempest
He cody lays his odds
While from the daylight to the dark
He plows and tills the clods.
He bets his time and labor,
His everlasting toll
Against the locust and the worm
That make his crops their spoil;
Each year he risks his fortune,
His strength and thought as well,
Upon a shifting market
Which no man may foretell!
Through all his life he plungesI
A gambler unafraid,
His bets with nature and with man
Upon the board are laid;
Upon the very wheel of fate
His wagers bold are hurled
The greatest gambler of them all
Who feeds a hungry world

they do not exist, still there is no ex-

SHOOTS HIS HEART OUT.
Calhoun Farmer Uses Shotgun for
Deed.

St. Matthews, July Halt Heck
el, aged sixy-eight, one of Calhoun's
oldest citizens from the Congaree
section of the county, committed sui
eide by shooting his heart out with a
shotgun. Mr.. Heckel lived alone, a
short distance from the home of his
son Wednesday morning about day
Break, his son, Maynard Heckef,
stated that he heard a shotgun some
distance from his house, but paid no
attention to it. Later when his faith
er was called to breakfast, there was
no response. An inspection of the
house showed that he was not there.
A search was instituted, and the body
found some distance from the dwell
ling with a shotgun lying near.
Death had been inflicted by placing
the gun over his heart and pulling
the trigger with a string. The en-
tire load took effect and made a
,ghastly wound. DR.. Dreher, the at
tending physician, stated that death
was evidently instantaneous. Mr..
Heckel had been complaining OF feel
ing unwell, but his physician saw no
signs of serious i'll health. He lost
his wife about two years ago, and

Spice of Life.

We read about the mothers of the
days of long ago,
With their gentle, wrinkled faces and
their hair as white as snow;
They were "middle-aged" at forty,
and at fifty donned lace caps,
And at sixty clung to shoulder shawls
and loved their little maps,
But I love the modern mother who
can share in all the joys,
And who understands the problems
of her growing girls and boys:
She may boast that she sixty, but
her heart is twen.. three
Ny glorious, bright-eyed mother who
is keeping young with me.
