ONE-YEAR AGRICULTURAL COURSE Is for young men who have neither the time nor the money to take the four-year course. It is open to young men 18 years old, and over, who have worked three or more years on the farm. It is designated to give the simple scientific principles upon which good farming rests. The idea is to take a man who is already a farmer and make him a better farmer. The course begins i October 1st and ends June 1st. Fifty-one schol arships are open to men in this course. Examinations for the award of these scholarships will be held by each County Superintendent of Education on Friday, July 11th. MILITARY TRAINING Clemson College is a member of the Senior Division of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps. All stu dents are required to wear uniform and are- uhder military discipline at all times. All Freshmen, Sophomores and Short Course students are required to take the Basic Course of three hours military instruction each week. Juniors and Seniors may en ter the advanced course if physi cally and otherwise qualified, and if admitted, are required to take addi tional military instruction. The War Department has estab lished R. O. T. C. units in the In fantry, Coast Artillery and Signal Corps branches of the service. Only a limited number of students will be admitted to the Coast Artillery and Signal Corps Units. Modern equipment is supplied by U. S. Gov. All students in the R. O. T. C. re ceive financial assistance from the U. S. Government. Juniors and Sen iors at present are paid $12.00 per month, which may be applied to the living expenses. All R. O. T. C. stu dents are given an allowance on uniforms by the War Department. The amount has not been fixed for the coming session, but it is expect ed that it will be sufficient to cover at least half the cost of the service uniforms. No obligation rests upon the graduate of the Advanced Course. Membership in the Advanced Course amounts practically to a two year scholarship furnished by the Federal Government. A student who holds a regular scholarship and takes the Advanced Course receives enough money to pay for all ex penses except books. CLEMSON MEN IN SERVICE The Clemson Service Flag con tains approximately 1,000 stars, 18 of which are gold as well as a num ber of blue ones. Relatives and friends of Clemson men who entered he service are earnestly requested to send to the College the name, rank, division, regiment, or any other information that will aid in the publishing of a complete list. Clemson men are asked to do the same. GOVERNOR COOPER NAMES HIS STAFF. Majority of Members Young Men Who Participated in the World War. Columbia, June 6.-Gov.

No stronger evidence of the im portant fact that the Ford Motor car has become a veritable part of the life of the people, could be asked for than is given in the registration rec ords of the various states which com prise our country. For instance, in the month of Jan uary there were 11,450 cars of all makes registered in the State of Montana, of which 5,790 were Ford Cars. This means one Ford car for every other car, of every make and 130 over. This proportion is very evenly maintained in the other forty seven state?. There are more than (5,000,000 motor cars in operation in the United States, more than one half of which are Fords. FOR SALE: Plants have been in spected. Ready to ship.

Washington, June 6.-Senai Dial has under discussion with 1 post-office department the establi ment of parcel post routes in Soi Carolina and is also investigati neighborhood co-operative assoc tions for motor transportation a marketing. He has some hope of ? ranging to have the adaptability the latter to conditions in his o^ State tried out through the operati of one or two demonstration rout in co-operation with the federal t reau of markets. ^r>: cr^ Secretary Houston, a graduate ?the University of South Carolina, h responded with cordial interest a: has offered Senator Dial the bene of data gathered by the departme of agriculture. He says in a letter Senator Dial: "The bureau of markets has co ducted an investigation of the pos! bilities of motor transportation f rural districts and it has co-operafr with the local interest in several se tions in the establishment of demo stration routes where transp?rtate facilities are inadequate. As a rest of this work, two bulletins on mot transportation have been issued. "It might be well for the comme cial organizations of the places yi mention to consider, uii their own ir tiative, the feasibly of establishir motor truck routes through the se tions you have in mind. If they shou decide to do this, the experts of tl , bureau of markets will be glad to rei der all possible assistance in an ai . visory way." Admirable surveys of accomplis! i ments and prospects in this field ai i contained in the two new publicatioi . mentioned by Secretary Houstoi They are: Bulletin 770, "Mote Transportation for Rural Districts, - by J. H. Collins, investigator in mai , ket surveys, and Farmers' Bullet) i 1032, "Operating a Cooperative M( tor Truck Route," by H. S. Yohe, a? 6istant in market surveys; both ai paring as publications of the Deparl ment of Agriculture, Washington. Senator Dial believes that South Carolina has several areas well pop ulated and productive, but lacking in transportation and marketing facili ties, where neighborhood co-opera tion might be successfully applied a long lines which experiments else where under supervision of federal experts have proved sound. The sena tor in this connection said he regret ted very much to note that some half dozen counties in his state had been unable to qualify for federal aid in highway maintenance. Pour important factors must be considered in judging whether a giv en community offers a field for co operative motor transport: (1) The volume of farm products grown along the contemplated route; (2) the vol ume of miscellaneous hauling which would supplement regular loads; (3) competition from other carriers which would be encountered; (4) the char acter of the highways over which the trucks must operate. These factors will determine the success or failure of any rural route. Notice of Final Discharge. To All Whom These Presents May Concern. WHEREAS, Mrs. Hattie T.
