THE PRICE CH1SLER
In last week's Herald there ap-
peared an article from J. F. Cosper s
Red & WMte Store about patronize
ing home industry and running their
store on it's own merits.
The Herald has said nothing of
this matter, but we have heen giving
it serious consideration for some
time. That method of business re.
minds us of boys and girls who went
to school in our time; and depended
upon their comrades and desk mates
to get them by their teacher. They
did not study their lessons, but would
peep over the shoulder of the student
in front of them and copy what they
lhad studied to get and used other
underhanded methods to get their
lesson?. They were in their own con-
ceit, thinking they were getting by
the teacher, but when the end of the
term would roll around And their re
port cards would show failures and
they went home with a long face, and
their parents had to be reckoned
with. ,
So it is with the chisling merchants
of today. They do not plan and study
out their own cost problems, but
Mrf.. T. A. Mclver, member of the
Salem Home Demonstration Club
and Mrs. Sam Massingill, member of
Grange Hall Home Demonstration
Club, are the first two club women
in Cherokee county to succeed in
getting their articles standardized,
,which means they can sell their rugs
and mats under the Better 4-H labels.
In order to get an article or product
standardized, only a few articles or
containers are worked on and a sam-
ple sent to the committee on stand-
ards for approval at College Station.
If found worthy of celling under the
Better 4-H labels, the committee on
standards will advise the Home Dem-
onstration Agent; if not, suggestions
for improving the product or article
will be made and another article or
sample will be requested sent in until
standard is attained. When given the
privilege to use the Better 4-H pro-
ducts label it means that the Demon-
strator's name, address, name of pro-
duct and net weight must be printed
on each good label. The textile label
must carry name and address of
Demonstrator, thereby making the
Demonstrator in each ease directly
!tsponsible for each product or ar
tide she sells under the Better 4-11
products label.
The Demonstrators are to never
abuse the privilege of using the
Better 4-H products label by letting
the product or article fall below the
ot
take that of the other merchant who
is playing the game fair and try and high standard set at the time
copy his methods and cuts his prices approval. The products and articles
iK cent or two in order to gain busi- sold under the Better 4-H products

Our Sunday Sdhool has gained in
^attendance and membership each
Sunday since Easter. We had 188
last Sunday, we can have 200 when
[we try and the weather is good. We
[have Mr. Thurmond back as our
Superintendent. Our EpwortM League
Won the Charter in the Union con-
test decided at Troup last Sunday
iness. They get by with this from
day to day, but eventually they find
themselves up against the wall and
Wonder how they got there. It takes
the public generally, a long time to
[find out these methods, but when
they do, they generally quit this Mind
of store in contempt and nowhere
they know that there is no such
methods practiced. Old man Abe
Lincoln never made a truer saying
than when he remarked that "You
can fool some of the people part of
the time, but) you can't fool all of
the people all of the time."
When you see a merchant with his
prices blazed before the world in a
(newspaper, you can know that he
(has considered carefully the cost of
this goods and Mas the price just as
low as he can make it. You can also
tdepend upon the fact that the mer-
chandise he is advertising is just
(what he says it is, because 4t would
he bad business to advertise low
quality merchandise at high prices.
If he did that, his competitors would
noon hlave Mm out of business. '
If you think that women are better
qualified than men to pick the best
candidates—look what some of them
married.
Potitica! Annruncements
label must always be products and ar
tiacles of the highest quality.

Cotton, corn and wheat acres con-
tracted for retirement in Govern-
ment contracts this year may bo
taken out of production in strips
'along terraces or contours, G. L.
Clyturn, county agent, has been ad-
vised by the Agricultural Adjust-
ment Administration.
The contracted acres need not be
in one solid block but may be
scattered in these strips, he says.
This gives the farmer the opportunity
to lay out a complete terracing or
contouring system for his farm,
and to complete the work of build-
ing terraces in his spare time during
the year. If there is no legitimate
use for these strips within the terms
of the contract, they may be left bare
during the growing season and sowed
down to small grains in early fall to
prevent winter blowing, he adds.
A simple way of fitting the con-
tracted acres to the terraced strips is
to first measure the total length ot
the terrace lines. Multiply this dis-
tance by the average width of the
strip to be left out along the terrace,
say at least 30 feet. Divide the sum
thus obtained .by 43,560 (square feet
inone acre) and you have the acres
taken out by the terraced strips. If
the farmer desires to take out more
land than this, he may increase the
average width of strips to suit. II
these strips take out more land from
production than he has contracted or
can spare, he may plant on enough
of the terraced strips to get the de-
sired result.
African coal is reported as being
1'ery cheap. We imagine that ice is
also very cheap in Arctic regions.
TlM automobile business is in
creasing by leaps and bounds which
means that pedestrians will have to
survive in the same manner.

Why
Liquid Laxatives
are Back in Favor
The public is fast returning to the use
of Itqmd laxatives. People have
teamed that the properly prepared
hqutd laxative will bring a perfect
movement without any discomfort
at the time, or after.
The dose of a liquid laxative can
be varied to suit the needs of the
individual. The action can thus be
regulated. A child is easily given the
ngnt dose. And mild liquid laxatives
do not irritate the kidneys.
Doctors arc generally agreed that
sennaMthebestlaxativeforevery-,
body. Senna is a laxative. It
does not drain the system like the
cathartics that leave you so thirsty.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
hqutd laxative winch relies on senna
for )ts laxative action. It has the
average person's bowels as regular as
clockwork in a few weeks' time.
