SIR WALTER RALEIGH
HAD BRIGHT IDEA.

You remember the episode of
the rainy day when he threw
his cloak into a puddle that the
good queen might cross without
getting wet feet and perhaps the
flu. That was advertising. Sir
Walter had a message of import
to her majesty. he wanted a
hearing. He got it-by cour-
teous and ingenious method of
attracting favorable attention. 1t
was another case of advertising
that paid both ways.
Business today is metaphor
cally throwing its cloak before
you. 1t seeks your favorable at
tention. 1t uses its most effec-
tive method of capturing it
advertising. Day after day it
caters to your tastes, and your
desires through advertising.
The men who advertise in
this paper believe that if thew
succeed in getting their mes
sages across to you, you will
often be interested and some
times inspired with a little of
their own enthusiasm for their
wares.
Advertising will help you.
Whether you realize it or not,
advertising is a big vital force
in your life. Through it Ameri-
can genius and American manu-
facturers are putting within
your reach the many boons of
modern life.
Advertising keeps your infor-
nation up to date on every ar
tlcle of human need whether
food, clothing, articles of house
hold utility, necessities or lux
uries.
Advertisers deserve your sup
port. The queen knighted Sir
Walter.
Patronize the Advertisers!

Mr.. MELLON, PLEASE
BE A WATERMELON.

If we are not misinformcd,
people who are not entitled to
II are getting liquor from Cam
ada.
The Canadian government
should not allow this liquor to be
delivered to United States citi-
zens who are not permit holders
under the laws Of their own
country. The Canadian govern
ment, so we are informed on the
very best authority, is willing to
enact legislation to this end, if
it is requested to do SO by the
United States.
Such request was made one
time but was made too late for
results.
On the second occasion, when
a request might have brought
about the desired legislation, no
request was received by the
Dominion authorities.
Once again we are assured that
not only the Dominion authori-
ties, but in particular the provin-
cial authorities of Ontario stand
ready to coe-oprate with the
United States if requested.
Surely Mr., Haynes is not
blocking this desired co-opera-
ton and we are equally sure the
Secretary of State would trans
nit any request the Secretary
of the Treasury desired to make
through him.
Mr., Mellon never made his for
tune standing asleep at the
switch. We respectfully suggest
to him with the best of wishes
that he be a watermelon on this
particularly occasion and do it
now.

is that much better for the farm
er. If he can get steady in
come from any source and there
is a profit in it, he is enabled
to finance himself more eco
nomically and increase his prof
its materially.
This idea is being worked up
in many sections of the state
where cream is sold regularly,
where various small crops are
raised with very little expense
and where the fruits arc being
shipped in very material guam
titles. None of the men who
have cash crops during the year
suffer as much as those whose
sole interests are involved in
cotton crop or corn crop or
some other crop where the mar
keting facilities are poorly ar
ranged and the farmer is subject
to the will and pleasure Of those
who dominate the idustry.
With plenty of year-round cash
porducts in Sumter county we
would be more Independent of
cotton than we are today and we
are as much so now as any coun-
ty in the state heretofore ranked
in the large cotton-producing
sections.

TARIFF ONLY WAY TO
LOWER COST OF LIVING.

bureau Of lHL6IHdI RcNcILuG di
taken by students Of the coun-
try's present economic and fiscal
problems as proof that the cost
of living can be lowered only
through a very considerable re-
ducton in the rates of Ford
ney-McCumber tariff. There is
no likelihood, these observers
say, that a decrease in income
taxes can be made sufficient to
give adequate relief.
According to the figures from
the Internal Revenue Bureau,
6,662,176 persons made income
tax returns for 1921, the latest
year for which the facts are OBJ
tainable. This number was $780,
768 less than for 1920. The in
come taxpayers in 1921 repre-
sented only 16 per cent of the
persons gainfully employed -
some 30,000,000 of them adult
workers - in 1920. And diminu-
ton of income taxes, it is held,
whether it be by exempting adj
ditional individuals, enlarging
exemptions for heads Of families
and for dependents, or scaling
the rates, though conceded to be
desirable, would not, if accomp-
lished, benefit a significant pro-
portion of those who are carry
ing the heaviest load of taxation.
The Federal government col
lected in revenues and receipts of
all kinds in 1921 a total of S.
624,932,960, of which $3,206,-
157 was taxes on incomes and
profits. The taxes on individ-
ual incomes aggregated $719, 387,-
loo. There is little hope, it is
believed that the taxes of these
individuals can be materially re-
duced.
In 1928, it is estimated, the
profiteers' tariff will yield APP
proximately $5OO,OOO,OOO in rev.
enue-about $2oo,00o,00o less
than the total collections of tax
es on individual incomes for
1921. While producing only half
billion dollars in revenues for
the government, the Fordney-
McCumber law is adding about
$4,o00,000,O00 annually to the
cost of living. The income tax
falls directly on 6,662,000 indi-
viduals, most of them able to
bear the burden. The profiteers'
tariff is toll on every man,
woman and child of the 10000
600 people in the United States.
Repeal or reduction of the in
come taXes-wehome as it would
be-would save taxpayers half a
billion dollars. A substantial
downward revision of the tariff
would cut the cost of living scme
billion or more dollars year.
1t is the 100000 workers
of the country, including the
farmers, upon whom the load of
taxation and the cost of living
weigh heaviest. Millions whose
incomes are below the taxable
limit are hit hardest by the ex-
cessive cost of food, clothing,
shelter and other necessities. The
lowering Of the tariff is the on
ly relief that can be afforded by
the government to these millions.
Cutting the rate or increasing the
exemptions of the income tax
law would not improve th;er con-
dition.
While it is likely that both
Democrats and Progressive Re-
publicans will seek a further de-
crease in inc )me taxes in the
next congress, i is felt that the
biggest burden of all the high
cost of living cannot be dimin-
ished for the people until the
Democrats shall have taken con-
troll of the executive as well as
the legislative branch of the gov
eminent.

DIVERS TASTES IN READING
"Seasons," lIbrarians Looking
: Forward to Demand.

, Statistics obtained from q city IL
brary show that most Of the serious
reading done by the public Is done
during the winter. poetry and drama
being chiefly In demand. In the
spring, In addition to books on garden
ing, there Is an increased demand for
books on outdoor sports. During the
summer and fall fiction shows q big
jump. Married women chiefly read
fiction, while men prefer books on
travel and autobiography. After the
age Of fifty. says a librarian, both men
and women read solely to pass the
time, choosing fiction exclusively.
The head Of q children's department
says that both boys and girls during
the last few years have been asking
for mature books, particularly books
on animals. This demand has been
traced directly to the children's page
stories about animals at the ECO. Boys
taste In reading, II appears, has al
tered since twenty years ago. Adven-
ture stories, then popular by writer's
such as Optic, Ellis and Alger, are no
longer asked for by youngsters, and
tales of school athletics. young heroes
of the diamond and football field have
taken their place, with the Boy Scout
books running q close second.
