If he approves the suggestion that the scope of the commission's deliberations be enlarged as desired by the United States, it is expected hi3 i note will be accompanied by authorization to Mr. Arredondo to confer with Mr. Polk as to the time and pi<*w, of the meeting.

QUAINT TRADITION SAYS 40 DAYS OF BAIN The tradition is, that upon the, death, of St. Swithin, his body was, by j his request, buried in the churchvard anjpng the poor, instead of in his cathedral. Years afterwards, his admirers proposed to transfer the remains of the s-aint to the cathedral, and deposit them under the higb. al tar, with solemn ceremonies. This wa? to be done on the fifteenth day of July, the day set apart to the .Saint, in the calendar, but he so strongly disapproved of the proceeding, that he sent a tremendous rain which continued for forty days, until the project was -abandoned; ever since whi?h time, the weather is supposed to be regulated for the next forty days, by the weather on St. Swithin's day. The Scotch have put it in the form or a proverb, thus: "St. Swithin's day, if it do rain, For forty days it will remain, St. Siwithin's day, and be it fair, , For forty days twill rain na mjir. ! nm. ! /nvigoratlng to the Paie and SIcXav !

TRAINING TOMATOES TO A mT?3LE STEM Clemson College, 3. C., Where tomatoes are to be trained to a single stem, tflie plants are se^,48. inches ap?t in towb 3 feet jnde. I soon as tfoe young plant begins to j grow after being transplanted, it sends out branches oV' slioots from the axis of the leaves. 'When these shoots appear pin<& t&em out, whic will cause te main stalk to ehoot up, rapidly. Put up a stake 5 feet - tall, and tie the plant'&>'it.' As the plant grows, more suckers will form. Continue to pinch these out and train the plant to the stakej. The fruit will be' formed on flower clusters about -siij inches apart on tlje main stem, : ) rnis meuLiua 01 intmiug . uyes uvt produce -as many tomatoes per plant, but the fruit is much larger in size and of hiyher- quality. This method allows a great many more plants per acre, therefore, the yield per acre ,i& greatly increased.

As a result of the decision Miss Ryan is given custody of Baby Irene, the child that had been preeented to | the probate court here by Mrs. Matters as the posthumous heir to her | husband's $200,000 estate. Prior to ! Judge Landis' decision suits against Mrs. Matters charging perjury and | foisting a spurious heir on the probate , court were dismissed in the State courts. 'Miss Ryan claimed that the j father of the baby is a soldier of the j Canadian forces who is now fighting in France. . Judge Landis censored the Misericordia. hospital at Ottawa, Ont, and the sisters in charge of it. It was in tihis hospital that Mrs. Matters, widow of a banker, claimed to have given mrtti to a CJiiia. T?e hospital attendants at first supported her claim, bijt later repudiated tbeir testimony and declared Margaret Ryan to be its mother as the baby was taken from her and given to the Chicago widow. . . , j , Miss 'Wlnnifred Davis, a nurse, one of Mrs..

The financial eligibilty of those who have passed is now being ,rigidly investigated toy the State Board of Charities and Correction, who frill make their report to the bosfrd Of-'trustees as soon as mfssible. Dr. Riggs says Clemson was not exempt from damage caused by the recent flood and storms. He estimates that the college lost between $5,000 and $10,000 in damages to the rops. A peculiar feature of this loss is the fact that the loss was scattered among all three of the stations, the Pee Dee, Florence and Clemson, which illustrates the wide scope taken in by the flood and . i storms. Most of the damage to the crops, however, was caused by winds, which blew down corn and tobacco crops extensively. The president stated that before the flood the crops at the Pee Dee station were the finest he had seen in the State.
