water inside"
The man went to the car and,
instead of looking through win
dow, he opened the door. If
there wasn't any water inside be-
fore, there was then. Dad
groaned and banged his head a.
gainst the wall.
So life has gone for years.
Castastrophes always followed by
laughter. The tears, and there
have been a few, brought us all
closer together, knitted indivisi-
bly, the great love we all have for
each other.

supporting, he never fails to Of

that we have all turned out so
we'll.
He is happy man. An easy
going man with a quick grin, a
soft voice, and deep love for his
family, his home, and his God,
Dad has many friends and inter-
ests. He has a wife who has loved
him since the day they met when
they were both eight years old and
who has shared his tears and
laughter through all the years. He
has sons and daughters and grand
children who think he is the most
important man alive.
AS he gave US our lives, so we
give him our loves. And we work
very hard at making him as
proud of US as we are of him.

Care Urged In Use
Sodium Flourid

The proper use of Sodium
Fluoride to controal intestinal
roundworms in swine is very
important, Charles D. Raper,
County Agent, said pointing out
that only one treatment of this
effective method is necessary if
used properly,
One prime precautionary mea-
sure is through mixing of feed
and sodium Flouride to prevent
over-dosages and death.
Give pigs about one-half their
daily ration the day before treat
ment," the agent advises. mix
carefully one pound of Sodium
Flouride to 80 pounds of dry
feed. This 100 pounds mixture
should treat Is to 20 hogs that
weigh from 100 to $50 pounds.
Give this mixture at the morning
feeding at the rate of 5 6
piunds of feed pre- head rgard-
less Of weight. Do not feed agin
until the following morning,
when the normal feeding sched-
ule should be resumed.
Lack Of through mixing may
result in deathof pigs getting
more than a correct amount of
the drug. All hogs to be treated
should be graded according to
size; that is, pigs should be fed
by themselves, shoats together
and adults in another group.
"Be sure to provide adequate
through space and feed worm
treatment to small groups of
animals at a time to insure each
hogs getting a sufficient dose.
Turn hogs on pasture with plenty
of shade and water" Mr.. Raper

I MEET
the incest
PEOPLE
By GLENN D. KITTLER

With Fathers Day highlighting
this week end, it is fitting, | feel,
for me to write now of my own
father.
Dad is not only one of the
incest people I've met, but is also
one of the most comical. And
when | think of him, always
there occurs to me those ludi-
crous incidents which made life
in our home so much fun.
Dad and mother were child
hood sweethealts and it was
Mother who revealed most OF
Dads past to me, an expose he
found difficult to forgive.
Mother and Dad went to school
together. When Mother didn't
feel like sitting in classroom,
she escaped by telling the nun
that she had to go over to the
church to practice the organ for
Sunday Mass. When Dad didn't
feel like sitting in a classroom,
he just didn't show up.
If his father caught him on
The streets during school hours,
Dad explained that it was the
birthday of one of the nuns or
priests and had been declared a
holiday. Grandfather, at first
ANNOYED because he hadn't been
informed, would give Dad five
dollars to buy a present of can
dy or cigars, whichever was more
appropriate.
The next day the little truant
would approach the nun, who was
all ready to demand some eX-
plantations, and present her with
4 box of candy, saying, "My Dad
sent this"
Overwhelmed by the gesture,
The nun would be too pleased to
punish Dads truancy and forgot
The whole thing. But what she
and Grandfather never knew was
that the candy cost only So and
Dad was always SO to the good.
which amount he spent on Moth
er. then just his girl, to impress
her with the family wealth.
When Dad was IA, he decided
it was about time he learned
what went on in the world, so he
cot himself a Job as a fruit and
magazine vender on a train 60
ing from Chicago to Des Moines.
The day of his first adventure,
a crowd of the family and friends
accompanied him to the Chicago
depot. His proud father had even
invested money in a new overcoat
for the vagabond. AS the train
pulled out, tears and calls of
BON voyage" sent Dad on his
way. Nobody bothered to re-
member that he was scheduled
TO return the next day.
Once aboard the train, Dad
lost his nerve and was unable to
force himself to stroll through
the train shouting his wares. He
ended by crawling into a corner
of the baggage car where he ate
all the fruit himself and spent
the travel time reading the ma,
gaines.
In Des Moines, his first act
was to find a. place to spend the
night
There's a hotel across the
street. a porter told him. "But
it's haunted"
Not anxious to spend the night
in haunted hotel, Dad curled up

BABY ALLIGATOR

Wayne Baxter, of the Baxter
Builders Supply, located on the
Loris-Tabor City road captured a
baby alligator in the ditch that
runs along beside the road last
week. The alligator was caught
near the business operated by Mr..
Baxter and was about 20 inches
long.

Babies Die

Two premature babies expired
shortly after birth at Rogers
hospital last week.
Mrs. j. K. Fowler, Loris route

3 81 pounds on Thursday. Mrs.
J. D. Edwards gave birth to a
four pound girl Friday.

on a bench in the depot, using
his new overcoat for a pillow. He
awoke in the morning just in time
to run and catch his train as it
pulled out. 1t was not until Des
Moines was miles behind that he
realized he left his new coat ~
ing the depot bench.
Awaiting him in Chicago was
the same crowd that saw him
off. Again there were cheers
and tears. you'd Think" Moth
err tells now, "that he'd been off
to Europe for five years."
Dads next employment ex-
perience came four years later
when he was Is. He saw an ad
in the paper that contractors were
needed for important government
work. Dad has always believed
that what one man does, another
can do. His older brother was a
contractor and Dad couldn't see
why he shouldn't try it too.
Braced with a new vocabulary
of technical terms he picked up
in conversations with his brother,
he reported to, the Chicago hotel
mentioned in the ad. Over 100
other men sat there, likewise a.
waiting interviews. They were
important, distinguished looking
men. Beside them Dad looked
like a Boy Scout.
But when all the interviews
had ended and three men were
selected for the job, Dad was one
of them. For $40 a day, all he
had to do was appear at the no.
tel around 10 a. m. and then
spend four hours sitting at a d.
ming table, lunching and smoking
cigars and looking intelligent
while the builders discussed some
construction work the government
planned for the Chicago area.
This went on for two weeks
until one afternoon after the
meeting, the government man in
charged called Dad aside.
Look" he said, "tell me the
truth. Do you know what this
is all about?"
Dad grinned. "No," he said. w
haven't the slightest understand
ing of word that's been said in
rho last two weeks "
81 thought So" said the man,
laughing. "But you certainly had
me fooled"
Determined that there was
money in this contracting bust
ness, Dad decided to learn it from
the bottom up. His next adven-
ture took him to the foreman of
a crew of carpenters. Dad got
the job.
report tomorrow" said the
foreman. "And bring your
TOOLS"
Thrilled, he hurried to his
girls house and told he the news.
"But you haven't got any
TOOLS" Mother told him.
"Come on" he said. "We'll go
buy some."
The two youngsters strolled to
the neighborhood dime store
| where Dad spent So outfitting
himself with carpenters tools,
The next morning, his tools in a
mall paper bag, he appeared to
the foreman. He became a little
doubtful when he saw the huge
boxes of the other carpenters

"Hi," the foreman greeted him
"Where's your tools?"
"Here," said Dad, holding w

"Your tools?" said the fore.

Again Dad confessed his in
experience. But the foreman
laughed. you're too good to
lose" he said. "You can be
timekeeper."
There followed several similar
experiences until Dad, still in his
teens, settled in Salesmanship,
