SUBSCRIPTIONS TO s PROPER GANDER ARE : e COMING IN SLOWLY r v The response to the annonucement a of the publication in June of the last t ? -> n 1? is.-ue ot rroper uanut-i, tuc mgu ? school paper, in book form contain- t ing many interesting features is meeting with slow success if the v number of checks being received is t any indication. However- along with 0 them are some appreciative notes. Q Editor Elbert H. Aull of Newberry . was the first to respond and expressed his appreciation that the volume was to contain a history of "dear old Abbeville" and.some of the scenes of ve olden time. Editor Aull, by the way, was one of the real few school- 1 masters the old school had. His first c teaching was done here. ; That the field representative of the e American Red Cross Knows a good a thing when she sees it is evidenced by the following letter wrilch Miss a Elizabeth Eili.s the field representa- v. tive, who is temporarily stationed-in t! A btvillcv wrote the editors of Pro- h per Gander a few days ago: a Proper Gander, si Abbeville, S. C. Ii , Dear Editor:? Throuh the courtesy of one of the w High School students, Miss Eliza- f( beth Gambrell, I have a copy of the S April number of ''Proper Gander.'^ b It is most interesting; trie jokes are fi really funny (which is more man can ci be said of most school and college pa-j st pers,) and the whole tone of the pa?' cj per is high and fine to an unusual degree. I am particularly interested in tl the editorial, "Civic Art," partly be- J] cause I have recently spent two (J months in helping High School and si Grammar School students put on'tl "Clean-up-and-Beautify campaigns t( (a practical realization of the ideals h expressed in the editorial) and large- \V ly because it is a good piece of work ti judged by high editorial standards, j I \vish to congratulate the Staff, o.irl tr> ovnvasc tVlP hnilp that VOll rrr.y have many successes in the future. B Sincerely, Elizabeth Ellis, Field Representative American Red Cross." The ridiculously low price at which the high school annual is being- offered the public may be one reason s for the unenthusiastic reception being ^ccorded the venture. We know '' that Florence, Sumter, Darlington, * and other high schools throughout the State are charging $3.00 and upwards for a copy o? their annuals. 1 The half-tones alone which will ap- * pear in Proper Gander for June cost the staff over $150. The"history of Abbeville which wi1. appear in this number Is based ( on one written as a graduation essay! Kn Mi cc TTccio Tli-mclnc r?f the oljiss ' of 1896 and will be brougnt up to * date by one of this year's class. The cover of the volume will be of; heavy material embossed, not print-,( ed, in two colors. j( / You will make a mistake not to:2 subscribe early and get advantage of,' the cheap pride. ' SEVENTEEN-YEAR LOCUSTS MAKE THEIR APPEARANCE i This is the year of the 17-year lo- ' cus:ts in many sections of the State. * Farmers from various vsections of * ? . . ?, i < Aooevine county report tneir appeai-ance :n great numbers. They are ' making t>heir appearance rather ear- ' ly in the .season, as usually they are no: seen . .-fore June or July. In some places they are to be seen 1 in great droves or swamrs and where they are thickest their droning can *><? heard for almost a mile. 1 The fact that this is locust year will no doubt cause a deal of apprehension until it is ascertained wheth er they will swoop down upon the field crop* and play havoc with the food production of the community. The locu^s have the "W" on the : wing, this identifying them as the 17 ytar locals of Pharoah fame. It has been a long time since they appeared in this section and a new genera tion has sprung up since the last appearance of the locusts, in view of ' this fact, '.t is expected that there will be numerous pilgrimages to the woods to see the locusts and to hear their chanting of "Pharaoh, Pharaoh' AH Sunday school students are familiar with tu.e plague of the locusts in FIgypt wh*n the Israelites were held 1 in bondag-? by_the Pharaohs, and tra dition ha.-; :t that the locusts, during ?' each visitation upon earcth, call out '< I the name, Pharaoh. It is savl the insects are harmless o far as human beings are concernd, except during the laying peiod. The insect splits a limb, 01 whatever it is resting on, it is said, nd the eggs are deposited inside he split. Instances have occurred i-hen ngers of children praying witfr he locusts were split evenly ae if rith a knife. Limbs of trees split, inariablv die, it is said. Others state he eggs are deposited In the buds if hickory trees and the larva travrse the pith of the brancn and go inc th? ground, it taking a period ol bout 17 years to make the trip.
