Interest In Good Roads

That this nation is interested in
the building of good highways is
constantly in evidence in different
sections of the country.
The Sumter Board of Trade OF
Sumter, South Carolina, uses the
paved roads of Sumter County as a
leading argument showing the pro-
gressiveness of that agricultural
section. This county of $4,000 peo-
pie has total of 1877 miles of paved
roads outside of the city of Sumter
which has in addition 16 miles of
paving.
All of these roads are of concrete
base with heavy city type asphalt
top. They are well graded and are
giving excellent service at low cost.
Good roads pay steady dividends
in any community. County after
county is learning that with modern
tractors and road machinery, they
can build new highways and keep
old roads n good condition at less
cost per mile than was formerly
spent to build makeshift roads
which were impossible a large part
of the year.
Sumter County and other counties
with similar road system are to be
congratulated.

Safe And Sane Congress Desired

1t has been predicted in news
papers and political circles that the
next congress will show a radical
tendencd in attacking industry and
particularly power companies. Some
comment has even gone to the
length of saying that the country
will witness another era of social
ed trust busting"
This nation is on such a sound
basis and industry has been develop-
ed and managed upon so high a
plane and under such efficient
public regulation, that people are
satisfied and offer no complaints.
There is no really important issue
which political factions can capital
ize for vote getting purposes. For
want of any real issue they seem to
have singled out the power industry
as political goat because it has
had to make many rapid strides and
consultations in order to meet an
abnormal service demand by the
public.
There is really no occasion for
congress upsetting industry, fright
ening capital and thereby causing
more or less uncertainty and un-
employment.
If congress would meet, reduce
taxes ias the receipts of government
seem to justify, correct and fragrant
cases of unsound industrial practic-
es, authorize appropriations neces-
sary to- carry on government, re
frain from passing thousands of
new laws, adjourn and go home, the
nation would be better off and the
people would be thankful.

Electricity And The working Man

electricity in industry.
''The use of machinery in industry

proves successful, measure two cups

divide. Roll out lower crust and
line pie plate. Moisten rim with
cold water; roll out upper crust.
Make incisions in top. Fill with

in hot oven for five minutes. Re-

Peach Filling-Six medium sized
peaches. two teaspoonsful flour,
one-fourth teaspoonful salt.

In order not to take too much
time in baking honey mullins for

Grease the muffin tins well and

Many of the recipes that follow
are made from a regulation honey

obtain almost an endless variety
by changing the fruit or ceral to

sicularly nice feature about honey
muffin recipes calling for q fourth

the mullins will keep for several
days and it often proves convenient
to have something like this in
your emergency box. Just place

forming foods, but for all kinds Of
elements that make such Tnisguid-

The secret of successful reduc-

supplying all the needs Of the body,
except the one for fuel food.
70 be safe and effective, the diet
must be rightly planned with re-
