than the patented mixtures now
on the market.
The first paragraph under
poisoning gives the accepted
formula for the home mixture,
which is one pound of calcium
arsenate, one gallon of molasses
and one gallon of water.
Many thousands of these cir
culars are being distributed.
Any one may get one by apply
ing to the Chamber of Com
nerce, to any of the banks of
the county, to MIR. Marshall or
to the Times-Recorder.
The circular also contains
several suggestions of some
things to help in 1924" that are
outlined by MIR. Marshall and his
committee of farmers and other
experts, such as
Let's produce sufficient food
crops for family and farm ami
mails. Both acreage and per acre
yield should be increased.
Each farmer should adopt a
program and stay with it. Chang
ing f2m one crop to another
often is expensive. In the West
where great herds of cattle are
found, sometimes during a thun- >.
derstorm the cattle get excited
and lose their heads, and begin
milling. The result is many are
crushed to death. DON'T MILL.
Plant lespedeza, carpet grass,
and Dallas grass for permanent
pastures. There should be a per-
manent pasture on every farm in
Sumter County. 1t is essential
to successful production of live
stock. Lower lands make best
pastures.
Hogs-cows-poultry are profit
able. Livestock farming necessi-
tates planting soil building crops.
For. hogs grow North Carolina
peanuts, and velvet beans in corn
for winter; plant cat-tail millet
for summer grazing. For cows
grow velvet beans in corn, for
winter, and have the permanent
pasture for summer. Use skim
milk for pigs.
The county committee thinks
more care should be taken of the
forest. Fire among your trees
costs many dollars. The aver
age acre of land in growing tim
Der produces 500 feet in timber
per year. Timber will be more
valuable from year to year. Take
care of the young timber, it
grows money.
If our per acre production
were greater, we could produce
any crop profitably. Therefore
the important item is soil build
ing. Plant peanuts or velvet
beans or both in every acre of
corn. Don't burn anything off
the land for the lands sake.
Cotton is the hub in the wheel |
Of our agriculture, but live
stock and the other field crops, |
some of which have been men
TONED, are the spokes to the
wheel and are necessary as the
spokes of any other wheel, with
out which the hub cannot prop
erly function.
The farmer who follows the
suggestions contained in this cir
;uIar will make a success of his
1874 farming operations.
The farmer who attempts to |
90 by the old rules of the game, |
planting every acre in cotton, |
refusing to poison, to cultivate
and who fails to
raise food crops for himself and
his animals, will surely fail.
No county in the state has put
-orth a better circular on this |
subject than Sumter and it is
worthy of the closest scrutiny bv
every man in the county.

Just three years since American
movies began invading Germany
Now half the films shown over there
are American-made.
One result of this is that only SIS
film-producing companies are op.

555 in 1921.
These figures should interest thos
critics who frequintly moan thai
Germany "has it all over US" in

absolutely normal person would
have. Mild and harmless PECULIAR,
ties and eccentricities are strictly

Sanity is relative. Insanity j;
merely a departure from nor

"Mandalay" Kipling's famous
poem, is all wrong geographically
Consider the line: Con the road to
Mandalay, where the flying fishes
play, and the dawn comes up like
thunder outer China 'crost the
bay" Now, Nandalay is in Burma
far from the sea coast, so the fly
ing fishes must play in the dust of
roads. As for China being 'crost
the bay, China is far to the east
and the only bay near Mandalay
is rs miles to the west,

WOULD SPEED TRIALS
Mass. Attorney General Wants Less Delay in Bringing Criminal Cases Into Court.

Boston, Jan. 16.-Measures to les sen delay in the trial of criminal cases are proposed by Attorney General Jay k. Benton in his annual report, filed today He also suggests that the au- thority of the state commission on the necessaries of life be broadened by legislation to include supervision of the production and sale of gaso- line and other petroleum products.
 Tn certain complicated and intri- cate criminal cases there has been un- necessary prolongation of the time be- tween conviction and punishment, :" the report read in part. XXX Today it is not unusual for lawyers for defend- ants to accumulate in the course of n long trial hundreds of exceptions"
 The attorney general recommends that in such cases the entire record and testimony be certified to the su- perior court, thus obviating the check ing up of thousands of pages of court records.
 The report comments the working of the state law against the sale of 'fireproof' coal as a protection of the public from fraud.

CORONER INVESTIGATES
Death of Princeton Hockey Player f, Matter Which New Jersey Grand Jury is 10 Take mp at Once.

Trenton, x, J.. Jan. 16-The coun- ty grand jury, which convened here yesterday, will be called upon to probe the death of Harold B. Reese of AsheYillc, N. C.. Princeton uniger- sity hockey player, who was fatally injured during q game last Saturday night. Coroner Grove and County De- tective Stevenson spent some time in Princeton yesterday and questioned about 2o witnesses. Becallse of the statements of some of the witnesses it was decided that the case was one for grand jury investigation.
 The authorities claim that the hockey game in which Reese re- ceived a. fatal blow on the head was very rough one from beginning to end, and that the young student re- ceived vicious blow on the head at the hands of one of the players of the team representing the Canadian Royal Bank.
 After Coroner Grove had learned of the death of the student he went to Princeton to investigate. State ments made by some Of the students caused him to continue the probe. but yesterday these statements did not tally with the original ones. The players on the Canadian Royal team dents on the university team.
 All of the evidence has been sub mitted to Prosecutor Geraghty.

simple matter for those waging a never ceasing war against tuberculosis to conquer it. Dr. Gibson said that so per cent of the children between the ages of 6 and IA at some time same holds true of 95 per cent of adults. Although infected with the germ, it does not. necessarily mean that they have tuberculosis and it is only those who are in weakened condition when infected who contract tuberculosis.
 Dr. Gibson said that there are four institutions being conducted by the state for tubercular children and that money is not spared in their admin istration. He said that by securing the permission of the childrens par ents it would have been possible to bring two or three children to the meeting for demonstration purposes but that the authorities did not deem it advisable to take the least chances with their charges.
 Dr. .Gibson declared that if com mon sense is used in eating, sleeping and the general care of the body fear of tuberculosis may be greatly de- creased.
 Lions Quartet Sings
 The Lions quartet, after an ab- sence of several weeks, were present and rendered several selections which were well received. Secretary l. F. O'Brien read a letter from the Lions club of Cincinnati, telling of a maga- zine for blind children that is being published under the auspices of the club. The Ohio club requested the members of the local club to get the names of any blind children in this vicinity and send them to the secre- tary of the Cincinnati club who will see that the magazine is sent to the children.
 A communication from Mary F. Curtin, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, asking the club to desig- nate member to serve on the Sal yation Army advisory board was read. It was voted to have the president ap- point member of the club to serve on this board. It was voted to adopt the present form of social card which will be sent to members of the club each week announcing the time and date of the meeting.

INTERESTING TALKS
 AT LIONS' MEETING
Rev. Stanley Iciek and Dr. Gibson
 of Meriden Speakers

The regular weekly meeting of the Lions club was held last night in Odd Fellows hall. Rev. Stanley Iciek, edi- tor of the Catholic Leader" spoke on Toast and Toast" Father Iciek said that at the present time there is a surplus of wheat and it is possible to get bread for a very reasonable sum. He said that as usual thing a loaf of good bread will not last very long in any household, especially one where there is family of children, and that the rate at which this pala- table food Is eaten Is the only recom- mendation it needs as to it's being a food of the first order. Father Iciek told of being in Europe during the war and finding it practically impos- sible to sit down and have a meal with good bread or toast. While returning to this country he said his first thought was the vision of himself sit ting down to meal with good bread and toast and he remarked that this was not simply vision as one of his frst acts on reaching the country was 10 sit down and eat a meal such as he had dreamed of since leaving Europe.
 Besides the palatability of bread and toast and the cheapness of the food Father 1ciek said that it con tained the necessary muscle building and heating energies for the body. In closing he described bread and toast as the staff of life and urged every member of the club to impress on his friends the benefits that may be de rived from eating both.
