Bird Lore.
The color of birds can he changed
within five generations by keeping
them in a white room, with white sur¬
roundings and attended by persons
wearing white. Scientists say it is
nature’s way of taking care of the
birds so that they will harmonize with
the background in which they live.
Bats, it has been discovered by an
Italian naturalist, have a small sense
orgau situated on the middle wall
of the tympanic cavity of their ears.
The removal of this organ destroys
their sense of balance. The scientist
concludes that it is by means of this
organ that the bird is able to deter¬
mine the density of the air through
which it moves and regulates its wing
movement accordingly.

BILL TO ABOLISH OIL
INSPECTORS VOTED
General agricultural committee
2 ,of the house of representatives,
Friday morning voted favorably on
bill by Loyd, of Newton, which
abolish all local oil inspectors and
provide for only one inspector to
| congressional district. The author
the bill argued that the bill would ef¬
fect a saving to the state in that over
$90,000 was paid to oil inspectors last
year, whereas his measure provides
that of the twelve inspectors receive
$3,000 annual salaries, with no allow
ace for any expenses.
The senate bill cutting off all appro¬
priations for the state port and harbor
commission, already passed in the up¬
per branch, was also reported favor¬
ably.—Atlanta Constitution.
‘A MERRY HEART DOETH GOOD
LIKE A MEDICINE’,’
First Boy: “My dad is a banker and
h« gets a salary of $10,000.00.”
Second Boy: “That ain’t nothing. My
dad Is a eailroad man and his salary is
$ 20 , 000 . 00 .”
Preacher’s Boy: “Hum.’ That ain’t
nothing. It takes ten men to collect
my dad’s salary, and then he don’t get
all of it.”
The building philosopher concluded
his essay on “Mother Earth” with this
startling statement: ‘The earth re¬
volves on its own axis three hunderd
and sixty-five times in twenty-four
hours. This rapid motion through
space causes its sides to perspire, this
is called dew.”
In the days when such things hap¬
pened, a certain New York pastor
found himself so often embarrassed for
funds by the slack business methods
of his church in making up his salary,
that he Was at length, moved to mild
protest.
The young Pharisee among those ad
dresed, arose in ruffled dignity to de¬
fend the situation:
“I am surprised,” he puffed sancti¬
moniously, “at this evidence of the
reign of Mammon in the heart of out
spiritual leader. I supposed you were
laboring for souls—not for money!"
“Very true, very true,” returned the
minister, “but I cannot live on souls,
and if I could, it would take a thous¬
and like yours to make one square
meal!”
“I may seem cruel, Topsy,” said a
young man, “but I ought to tell you
that last night at your party your sis¬
ter promised to marry me. Will you
forgive me for taking her away?”
“Forgive you! replied she. “Why,
that’s what the party was for.”
The head of the firm had caught the
office boy telling lies. “Boy,” he said,
“do you know what they do with boys
who tell lies?”
“Yes, sir,” was the reply. “When
they are old enough the firm sends
them out as salesmen.”

MODERN “TEA HOUND” NOT
EVEN GOOD PROSPECT
Youths of Today Too Slow at the Mat
rimonial Game, Greenwood
Lass Says.
Greenwood, S. C.—Because the lads
of today are so slow to propose, some
girls are selling their hope chests for
antiques, a Greenwood girl solemnly
asserted as she sipped an ice cream
soda and mourned over the listlessness
he-flappers. The chap who knows just
how to hold his cigarette at the right
angle, how to wear the latest creation
in trousers, how to talk with just the
right degree of nonchalance about life
and love, is an awful slow bird when
it comes to matrimony, the Greenwood
girl declared.
“They sit night after night in your
chairs and wear out the parlor furni¬
ture, but they never get their heads
in the halter of betrothal,” she insists.
’The way they can wriggle through
the years without touching the subject
of a diamond ring is amazing. I know
one boy who has worn out three arm
chairs for a friend of mine and has
never given her but one box of candy—
and that was won in a raffle.
“Keeping hope chests is going out of
style because stuff gets out of date
before a girl gets a chance to use it.
Why, things we started putting in our
hope chests are not even worn any
more. Slow? A procession of snails
would look like a Derby race compared
with tea-hounds nowadays.”
THE FARM JOURNAL SAYS:
Kill a harmless snake and lose money.
A drop of oil will make a wood tick
let go his grip.
A drunkard is like a camel in that he
has a mean disposition and can get
along with very little water.
When a man is so mean tha the will
feed moldy fodder to a blind horse he
has about reached the limit.
It makes it hard for a girl to have
to decide between the plowboy with the
freckles and the one with the pinit
shirt.
It is half-made bargains that make
trouble. Make your agreements com¬
plete in every point and then write
them down.
When you buy peanuts, that’s a
quart.. When you pay for them, that’s
a quarter. And when you have dis¬
posed of them, that’s aquartette.

COMMON SENSE
To see, to hear, to taste, to touch and to smell are the five human senses, and we,
who have the good fortune of possessing them should develop a sixth, COMMON SENSE,
and thereby, support our local interests. This does not apply to the wage earner alone,
but it also applies to the merchants engaged in one line of business, who go out of our
home town to do their buying in other lines.
MORAL:—The man of sense will circulate his money for the betterment of local
interests.
