WHY YOU SHOULD BUY
CHRISTMAS SEALS

Money talks and the funds spent
during the last year by the South
Carolina tuberculosis association
tell Of the effort to do a big work
with limited money.
The association is voluntary organi-
zation supported by the sale of
Christmas seals, bonds and few
memberships. 1t has no appropria-
ton from legislature and is not sup
ported by the state board of health,
although working in cooperation with
it. The South Crolina organization
is affiliated with the National Tubel-
culosis association, to which 5 per
cent of the funds derived from seal
sales are returned each year. The
national organization gives consulting
services, national legislation, research
work and sets the standard for the
state.
The preventive and educational
idea is carried out in all the work
of the South Carolina tuberculosis
ize health clubs, to establish free
clinics for expert examination and
early diagnosis, and in getting edu-
cational matter before the public.
Less than one half the returns of
the Christmas seal sale are spent by
the state headquarters, from SO per
cent to rs per cent being spent
by local county committees. Alto
gether 95 per cent is spent in South
Carolina, and 5 per cent returned
to the national.
Last year the seal sale throughout
the state was financed, the secre-
tary's salary and the salary of part
time stenographer paid, clinic sup
furnished and paid for, also printing
and distribution of literature, exhib-
it's financed and the expenses of a
the medical association paid. The
state organization also paid part sal
aries of the public health nurses in
five counties and the salaries of two
trained social workers for four
months. These workers conducted
free clinics in Oconee, Pickins, Horny,
Edgfield and Colleton counties.
Anderson, Richland, Greenville
and Charleston counties employed
paid secretaries. In Sumter county
funds were used in the county sani-
torium; in Florence for the relief
and support Of patients in sanitoriums
at home. York and Spartanburg
counties banked their funds to be used
this year to secure paid worker.
Greenwood supported nurse for the
full year.
Money raised by the Christmas seal
sale this December will be spent
next year in establishing more free
clinics, employing more workers to
locate the thousands of undiscovered

SATANK SHOWS HOW A KIoWA
CHIEF CAN DIE
by Elmo Soon Ddfson

"Now I will win !. show % you how . chief
the Nowas to the soldiers as he tore
on the shackles In which they were
leading him away to prison. II call
upon Those-AbOve to witness that
die like man unafraid. But ] do not
60 alone. 1 take with me one Of these
white men upon the Long Trail"
He drew a knife which he had COLI
cealed upon his person and plunged
the blade into the side Of one Of his
guards. The next moment he fell to
the ground riddled with bullets. AS
he fell he was singing his death song.
He gave one last defiant warwhoop,
then died.
Satank (Set-angya-Sitting Bear),
who was both a chief and medicine
man, was the leader of the Ka-itsenko
or "Real Dogs" the highest military
order In the tribe. This was q select
body Of ten Of the bravest warriors
who were pledged to lead every des-
perate charge and to keep their place
In the forefront Of battle until they
won victory or death.
Once In q fight with the Pawnees.
Set-angya engaged an enemy and was
about to stab him with a lance when
his foot slipped on the snow. The
Kiowa chief fell and the Pawnee sent
an arrow through Satank's upper lip.
This wound left lifelong scar, al
though 1t was not easily seen, for Sa-
tank wore a mustache, a rare thing
among the Indians. This incident
showed the Importance of Satank in
his tribe, for the calendar history Of
the Kiowas, a Photographic record of
their great deeds gives it as the lead.
ing event of 1s46-47 and that year is
known as "the winter when they shot
the mustache."
In 1870 Satank's son was killed
while raiding In Texas. The old chief
went down into that state, gathered
the bones in bundle and brought
them back. Ever afterward he carried
them about with him on q special
horse, kept them on a special plat
form erected In his tepee and gave
feasts in honor Of his son. my son is
not dead; he is sleeping" he would
explain to the old men who gathered
about the fire with him.
The next year, in company with Sa-
tanta and Big Tree, the Sitting Bear
led a war party into Texas, attacked
wagon train and killed seven white
men. When he returned to Fort Sill
he boosted of the deed to General
Sherman, who was visiting there. Sher-
man ordered the arrest Of the three
chiefs. On May %, 1871, when the
military started to take Satank to
Texas for trial as murderer, he
showed them "how q chief can die"

AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK

American Education week is fit
ting expression of the spirit of 1917
and 1918. The patriotism and
vision of those momentous years fired
the minds and filled the hearts of the
young men of the nation as they were
called into the service of their
country. Their task in camp and OH
the battlefield has been we'll perform
ed.
In the same spirit of unselfish
service these soldier boys have
recognized the fundamental need Of
education at home. In a few years
they will be in charge Of community,
state and national activities of every
type. The country will be safe in
their hands and it is good to find
them demanding a finer and more
universal intelligence. This American
Education Week ought to help us
to realize the mission and the
advantages of public education. If
the teachers and the Legionnaire join
hands for the improvement of our
schools, this improvement is bound
to come quickly.
l hope to see the exercises and
discussions of the week crystalline
the educational sentiment Of our
people by insisting upon efficient
schools with adequate support. The
Compulsory Attendance Law should
be more uniformly and carefully
enforced. The physical welfare of
pupils and teachers should be- better
safeguarded. Careful, competent, con-
cientious, Christian teachers should
be put in every classroom and should
be paid living wage. The course
of study should be enriched and carri-
ed SO as better to meet the manifold
needs of childhood. A minimum
term of seven months for the country
schools should be provided. The
State is able to supply the money,
and her children should be offered
nothing less. The campaign against
illiteracy should proceed vigorously;
too long already these neglected and
forgotten men and women have been
overlooked in their darkness and
loneliness. The fight agains ignor
ance is hard and will be long drawn
out. But the believers in education
should never stop until every child
in South Carolina has been given
fair chance to secure thorough high
school education.

State Superintendent of education.

PROFITABLE PIGS NEVER
STOP GROWINC"-SLOCAN

In an exhibit entitled "Pork pro-
duction," shown by the United States
Department of Agriculture at the In
ternational Livestock Exposition,
Chicago, December 2 to 9, the de-
partment gives the essential points
for raising swine economically.
Good breeding stock, proper ma
ting, and careful feeding of the brood
sows are all important, but a point
in hog raising that should receive
more attention, because it is often
neglected, is the necessity of keep
ing the young pigs growing continu-
ously from the moment of birth to
maturity.
Even before the pigs are weaned
they should have access to corn in
self-feeders as a supplement- to the
sow's milk. AS soon as they are
weaned the pigs should be kept on
full feed, either by self-feeder or
by hand. Approved types of self
feeders, hayracks, troughs, and wa
tering fountains are shown in the
exhibit. Proper feeds and exercise
furnished to VIGOROUS pigs of proper
type result in hogs of market weight
at about months of age.
"The profitable pig is the one that
never stops growing from farrow-
ing to market" is good slogan for
every hog raiser.

ILLITERACY REDUCED
IN SOUTH CRAOLINA

In an interesting bulletin issued
by j. E. Swearingen, state superin-
tendant of education, to instructors
over South Carolina, last week, the
following observation is made.
"The United States census of 1920
shows that South Carolina led the
4S states in its percentage reduction
of illiteracy in the population ten
years of age and over, in it's per-
centage Improvement of school at
tendance in the population between
five and 1S years of age, and in it's
percentage gain Of school attendance
of children between seven and 13
years of age. These three signifi-
cent accomplishments are all the
more noteworthy because of our
dual population and our dual system
of schools.
"This progress can and ought to
be accelerated. A solid foundation
has been laid for further rapid de-
velopments. In spite of hard times,
the work of the schools cannot be
abridged or curtailed with wisdom
or safety. Public education in all
its forms is today the greatest need
of South Carolina. Our common
schools, high schools, and colleges
are full. Our boys and girls are
our greatest JOY and our greatest
asset. They are worthy of the best
and we cannot afford to give them
less"

-Hoc KILLING TlME-

Clemson College, Dec.5, Along
F. with the first cold spell comes
thoughts of butchering time, Nine
, important steps in killing hogs
which make the work easier and
produce better pork are suggested
, by d. T.~Herrman, Extension Swine
| Specialist.
1. Select only those hogs which
are in good health and are gaining
, in flesh. Hogs which are losing
flesh make poor meat. The weight and
conditions at which to kill depends
| on wheather you prefer large or small,
| cut of pork and whether you want
fat or lean carcass. Most farm
ers kill heavy fat hogs, but the pack
ers put a premium on hogs in me-
dunn flesh weighing around 200 to
225 pounds.
2. Keep the hogs off feed for at
least "a hours before killing and
keep them quiet but provide them
with all the water they will drink.
This clears the system of food, facili-
tates bleeding, and lessons some
danger in cleaning. Hogs that are
excited before killing dress out a
dark red carcass, and if they are
whipped Or bruised in any way, the
bruised spots must be trimmed out.
B.. In sticking avoid sticking the
shoulder, for this causes the blood
to clot and means a waste i'm trim
ming. Place the hog flat on his
back, make longitudinal incision
in the neck, insert the knife or d
inches, with the cutting edge to-
ward the breast bone, raise the
point of the knife up against the
breast bone and withdraw. Then lay
the hog on his side to bleed out.
Do not drag the carcass over the
ground, as this bruises the meat.
d. Scald " to 2 minutes with
water 145 to 16O degrees Fahren-
heit. Water hotter than this makes
the hair set if the hog is left in
water more than one minute. Water
much cooler than this requires too
much soaking to loosen the hair.
If you have no thermometer, stick
your finger into the water thee
times in rapid succession. If the
third time is little to hot for COM
fort the water is right. Re-
move the hair from he legs, ears
and head first as these cool most
rapidly. A teaspoonful of I've or a
small shovelful of wood ashes to
so gallons of water will help loosen
the scurf with the scraper, because
all hair that is shaved off will stand
out when the pork is cured.
B. In removing the intestines use
the left hand inserted between the
intestines and the meat to guide
the knife and keep the intestines
from being cut.
6. Wash the carcass thoroughly
both inside and out.
Z. Either remove the leaf fat en-
tirely or loosen it and allow it to
hang by the upper end. This facili-
tates cooling.
8. Split the carcass down the
middle of the backdone-not on
either side as is often done, for this
is needless waste-and on down
through the head. In the South it
is common practice to cut the
ffanks away from the hams, but in
doing this care must be taken not
to cut into the ham. These pra-
tices hasten thorough cooling.
9. Never cut up the carcass until
it has had time to cool thoroughly.

GREEN FEED FOR LAYING HENS

Clemson College, Dec.5. The hen
likes to have sufficient amount of
green succulence during the winter
months. 1t is essential for egg pro-
duction. Green feed acts as a tonic
and also as laxative, keeping the
birds in the best of condition.
How are we going to supply this
essential form of feed during the
winter months? One of the most
satisfactory methods is in the form
of sprouted oats, says N. r. Mehr-
hof, Extension Poultry Specialist
who says that other good forms
of green feed are kale, rape, mangel
beets,
The green feed is generally fed
during the middle of the day and
is best fed in open hoppers so that
the floors will not become soiled
and damped.

PRUNING MUSCADINE GRAPES

Clemson College, Dec.-5. The
Scuppernong and other varieties of
the muscadine type of grapes should
be pruned during early Decem-
Der. If the pruning is delayed
until winter, the vines will bleed
badly and serious injury will result.
If the pruning is done every year,
the vines will be kept in good con-
dition and heavy crop of fruit pro-
duced annually. If the pruning is
neglected a good crop can not be
expected.
The county agents ca: give ycu
detailed instructions as to how this
work should be done.

COTTON ASSOCIATION

Columbia, Dec. Al. D. Jennings,
of Sumter, A. r. Johnson, of St.
George, and Z. Wallace Evans, of
Bennettsville, will represent the South
Carolina Cotton Growers Association
at the national conference of COM
modify cooperative associations to
held in Washington, December ID, Is
and 16. All three are members of
the board of directors of the South
Carolina association.
The conference at Washington has
been called for the purpose of form
ing national organization of the
commodity marketing associations.
Judge Robert w. Bingham, Louisville,
KY, representing the tobacco associ-
ations, will be chairman of the meet
ing and Carl Williams of Oklahoma,
representing the cotton association,
will be the vice-chairman.
Representatives of the 100000 cot
ton growers belonging to cooperative
marketing associations will attend the
conference. Delegates from five big
tobacco growers organizations that
handle the sale of some two-thirds of
the entire crop will speak for the
100000 members of those organi-
cations. Representatives from
something like Is state wheat grow
ers' organizations will be in attend
ance. Dairy producers organiza-
tions from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
orange growers from the west to the
east, vegetable and melon growers
organizations from every district in
the country, the producers of Calf
ornia dried fruits, the cooperative as
sociation will be represented.
More than $1,OO0,OO0,OOO worth
of farm products, it is estimated, will
be marketed by cooperative associ-
ations this year. Among these pro-
ducts are cotton, tobacco, alfalfa,
wheat, peanuts, plilk, eggs, fruits,
maple sugar, raisons, prunes, rice, to-
matoes, livestock and others.
The South Carolina delegates will
be able to report tremendous growth
of the cooperative marketing idea in
this state. The South Craolina Cot
ton Growers Cooperative association
is making its debut this season in
manner that is said to be very graft
flying &c its entire membership and
to the bankers and business men of
the State. The Tri-State Tobacco
Growers Association, comprising the
tobacco growers of North Carolina
and Virginia, made its debut this year
and the morale of its membership is
said to be 100 per cent.
The South Carolina Cotton Grow
ers' Cooperative Association was for
mally organized June 16, with men,
bership of approximately 5000. Over
1000 members have been added since
that time, giving it membership to-
day of over 1000. Many of these
members have been added since the
opening of the cotton season and
were secured as result of very gen
eral satisfaction with the operations
of the association.

VOLSTEAD LAW
REPEAL DEMAND
MADE BY A. F. l.
Prohibition Enforcing Act Branded Social and
Moral Failure, Creating Outlaws, Idiots
and Tax Burdens, Weakening Order.

Washington Feb. 26.-Repeal of the VOlstead pro-
hibon enforcement act and substitution of
permitting sale of light wines and beer urged Sunday
by the executive council Of the American Federation of
Labor, in statement which called upon all citizens to
join with the labor organizations in a campaign with
these objects in view.
The statement denounces the Vosead act "a social
and moral failure" and dangerous breeder Of dis
content and contempt for all law
The council, which concluded weeks session Satur-
day night previously announced it's intention to parci
pate in the congressional elections through bipartisan
campaign committee which will indOrse and oppose
candidates of major political parties enter independents
if that is considered most effective.
Before this decision reached" the councils
announcement said, "there caused to be made
exhaustive investigation of the Vostead act It shown
by this investigation that there had been:
"A general disregard of the law among all classes
of people, including those who made the law.
"CreatOn of thousands of mOonshiners among both
country and city dweers.
Creation Of army Of bootleggers.
"An amazing increase in the traffic in poisonous and
deadly conc0ctons and drugs.
'An increased rate Of insanity, blindness and crime
among users of these concOctions and drugs.
increases in taxes to city, state and national gov
ernments, amounting to approximately 200 million dol
lars per year."
The federation did not protest against the constitu
tiona amendment embOdyng the prohibition policy, the
statement emphasized but considered the Vostead
improper Interpretation of the amendment and stood
instead for reasonable Interpretation in order that the
law may be enforceable and enforced
