Should Have Chautauqua. , Through its spring Chautauqua just held Trenton has set Edgefield a ?good example. Chautauquas cost something but they are worth what they cost and more to a community. Why accumulate wealth at the ex pense of our manhood and woman hood? That which develops our citi zenship along right lines should have first place in a community's budget of expenditures. Let's not have an-, other season pass without a Chautau <|ua for Edgefield, cost what it may. * * * * Edgefield'* Needs. While knowing ones tell us that Edge?eld is not suffering as acutely from the sudden deflation as some other parts of the country, yet others tell us that business is better in some sections of the State than here. Doubt 3ess, paradoxical though it may seem, .both statements are true. Some other towns that are situated Un the heart of an agricultural region, . ila which crops were not as good last ;year as they were in this county, are N ^suffering more than Edgefild. But towns that are supported by regular industrial weekly pr bi-monthly pay arolls, in addition to their agricultural backing, are in a far better plight than Edgefield, whose only support, practically, is the farms of the coun ty. All of our eggs are in one basket, consequently when farming proves unprofitable every other interest suf fers in the like manner. _ - - m Edgefield needs several industrial enterprises that would not only afford profitable employment for a consider able number of men and women but J ?would regularly put cash money into circulation that would benefit every) .line of business. This would in turn ?beue?? the farmers also by providing j ra larder local market for country pro ? duce. Edgefield needs a laundry, can-? -,-nery, chair factory, a bakery, wood - working plant and other similar small ^manufacturing plants. Such enter prises pay elsewhere. Why would they | -nd.t-.pay in Edgefield? Educate Your Boys. Two lasting benefits are derived 'from educating a boy: First, the boy "himself is inestimably behefitted :through being fitted for a larger : sphere of activity, A well-rounded ??education" broadens, deepens, sweet-1 i-ens, ennobles life. Education means | ^-expansion and ignorance means contraction. The second bene -ciety and humanity at large. These thoughts came into the writer's mind as we read the following item in the xmrrent Weekly News( Letter sent .out by the Department of Agriculture ;?n Washington: "B. H. Rawl, assistant chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry, United .'States, Department of Agriculture, ihas resigned, effective April 30, to t?ke charge of the educational work of the California Central Creameries. He will have headquarters in San Francisco. "Mr. Rawl Ls one of the most wide-1 ly known dairy specialists in the world. A native of South Carolina, he is a graduate of Clemson College. He j took special work in dairying at Penn-1 sylvania State College and the Uni versity of Wisconsin. He has been with the Department of Agriculture for 16 years. He inaugurated the edu cational work of the Dairy Division in the Southern States and later was placed in charge of all the production work of- the division. He was appoint-j od chief of the Dairy Division in 1909 and assistant chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry in 1918. He has been largely instrumental in bringing about the great advance of the past decade dr sp in scientific dairying." We do not know Mr. Rawl but the name leads us to credit him to either Saluda or Lexington county. Suppose Mr. Rawl or his parehts had been satisfied with merely a common school education, and had made no effort to send him to Clemson col lege, how great would have been not only his lo?s but the loss to his State and the entire country. We are told that in addition to his training at Clemson he took a special course in dairying at Pennsylvania State Col lege and at the University of Wis consin. Through the enlarged vision which Clemson gave him he was in spired to climb'higher and higher un til he has aboutireached the top round of the ladder ofWccess in his chosen field. How different would his life have been, and how great would have been the loss to the dairy interests of the country, had he remained at home, satisfied to lead a narrow and contracted life! Encourage your boy to press for ward until the capstone is put on their education. Completing the high school or one year at college is not enough. Mr. Rawl would never have been the scientist that he is today, had he stopped short of a college edu cation. What has been penned here with reference to educating the boys applies with equal force to educating the girls. One is as important as the In Loving Memory of Little George Lanham. "Ere sin could blight or sorrow fade, Death came with friendly care; The opening bud to Heav'n conveyed And bade it blossom there." On last Tuesday night, April 12, at ten o'clock the Death Angel enter ed the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ben L. Lanham and took from the loving and tpnder arms of the young and devoted mother, the second child, little George Fr?derick, aged 5 years. Heaven is sweeter to us since little George is there. He was too good, sweet and pure for this sin cursed world and sq Cod took him home to be with Him-where lillies will ever more bloom. Though deprived of his eyesight from birth, he always seemed so joy ful and carried such a sweet angelic smile. He will be missed in thehome, and especially.' will the two little brothers and sister miss him in their daily play. The funeral services were conduct ed Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Barnes. The pall-bearers were: Messrs David Timmerman, G. D. Boswell, Lenwood Timmerman and Clarence Atkinson. The little body was laid to rest be neath a mound of beautiful flowers which had been arranged by loving hands. Little George is waiting with out-stretched arms to embrace Mama, Papa and all the other loved ones, and by the bjessing and grace of God this humble writer shall try to meet George at the pearly gates. "Goodbye, George; to mortal sight Thy vermeil cheek no more may bloom, No more thy smile inspire delight For thou art garnered in the tomb. Rich harvest for the ruthless power Which hath no bound to mar His will Yet, as in hope's unclouded hour Throned in my heart, I see thee still." Lovingly, "AUNT DOLL." April 18, 1921. _? Fine Art of Cooking Rice. Bluerice can be cooked so that it is flaky and so that each grain re mains separate, say food specialists in the United States Department of Agriculture. To obtain this result wash the rice thoroughly, boil it in a large proportion of water, and do not overcook. To one cup of dry rice, use 4 or 5 quarts of water, and one teaspoon of salt. Wash the rice through several waters until all the loose starch is re moved, and drain it. Have the boil ing irater ready in a deep saucepan, add the 3alt, slowly drop in the rice, and allow it to boil rapidly for about 15 or 20 minutes, or until a grain when pressed between the thumb and finger is entirely soft. In order to prevent the rice from sticking to the pan, lift it if neces sary from time to time with fork, but do not stir it, for stirring is likely to break the grains. When sufficiently cooked, turn the rice into a colander or ? sieve, and after the water has drained off, cover with a cloth and set over a pan of hot water on the back of the stove or in the oven; or turn the rice into a shallow pan, cov er with a lid, and place it in a warm oven for a short time. Treated in this way the grains swell and are kept separate. Meeting of Civic League. The regular meeting of. the Civic League was held in the Library Mon day, April 18th, at 5 o'clock with Mrs. J. G. Holland presiding. After repeating the Lord's prayer many plans were discussed, among them being final arrangements for Clean Up Week. The inspection of yards will take place Friday morning. Also final arrangements were made for Miss Ruth Tompkins' play which will be given Friday night in the Opera House for the benefit of the Civic League. It was suggested that we confer with the manager of the moving pic tures to see if, by co-operating and advertising the pictures, the League could not get a per cent., of the profits at stated times. Some tourists have passed through our town and found this a. desirable place to stop. They expressed a wish for a camping ground on the out skirts of town. These wealthy tourists travel mainly for-the out door life, and if a town does not welcome them as campers they go miles out of the way to avoid the town. Mrs. Will Dunovant, Sr., Mrs. Edwards and Mrs. Feltham were appointed to meet with the Chamber of Commerce and present this idea. The president was requested to as sure the Chamber of Commerce that the League will back them in protest ing against the raise in telephone rates. We need modern telephones, and should have them if the rate is increased. Two book cases have been present ed to the Library, one by Miss Vir ginia Addison and one by Mrs. J. G. Holland. The Civic League desires more members and urges every woman in terested in the up building of our town to join and attend the meeting. A Lyceum entertainment was an nounced for May 5th. .

Taking the Medicine. j Don't you remember when you were a little boy And ate all those green apples, How what happened after killed all your joy As the pain in your stomach grap ples? And didn't they make you so awful sick That for days you hoped to die? For mother with castor oi1 came quick And at the sight of it-oh my ! Protest as you would you just had to take Two tablespoonsful of the stuff. While cold chills of disgust were mak ing you shake As you swallowed, gee whiz, it was . tough! And that being over you felt better and better Each day till you regained your pep; And you begin to forget how pains like a fetter> Had you where death was just a step.. [ And business it seems to the writer of this creed Is passing through the castor oil stage; We are getting just the kind of physic we need,. Our business pains to assuage. After taking such a diet, a prosperity gorge, When money came to us so easy, We splurged .too much, and now, by George, We feel kind of sick and crazy. But its only the medicine that now makes us sick, Though its drastic as such remedies are; It will pull you through, the thin and the thick, But please remember the "jor!" W. S. G.
