LEGION TO HAVE BEAUTIFUL QUARTERS ? Members of the legion have been * talking for some time about the improvements which they intended to i make in their quarters, in the old -court house. We thought that this plan vould be like so many others, made w.jth good intentions but never carried 'into execution. But, on Tuesday morning we heard the resounding ring of a carpenter's hamme^r'and an immense pile of fine (flooring was stacked on the porch and after- climbing the fine stone steps to the legion's quarters we beheld Byran .Fortune holding forth on the very ???i~-?i~ 4-V^ wiaiviKovc nromis HB . _ WHICH lllC lliuuiuv&u i? - ^ 1 ed that they would do. And, say, but they are doing the job up right. The first thing done was to paint and calsomine all the ?~ walls and woodwork and with this completed work was begun on putting ^ down a fine floor, one suitable for " dancing. This is being done with the best of material and when it is completed it will be the nicest thing of its kind in this part of the state. Just as soon as the floor is laid work will begin on the ceiling which will be covered with beaver board and each of the small rooms will be likewise treated. These smaller rooms to be used as a reading and writing room for members, while the larger hall will hold the meeting and be given to basket and volley ball and /other athletic events. On such occasions as dances and entertainments these small room? will be given over to be used as dressing rooms, while the room in between the reading and writing room will be fitted with a splendid shower bath. The members of the local post take great pride in the fact that they are financing this project, having made no canvass on the outside for funds to complimented on the spirit with do this work. The boys should be which thev went about this work and we are sure that the social center which they are going to share with Mhe public will be a welcome and an enjoyable addition to Newberry and will cause the inhabitants to think even more of our soldier boys than they do and you can bet that they \ are now held in high esteem. \newberry pastor FINALS' SPEAKER ^Graduates of Summerland Hear Dr. Fulenwider?Nine Get Diplomas.

'Much serious thought and thorough preparation have been given to these courses by Miss Christine N. South, State Home Demonstration agent, and her assistants. There are three of these courses, one in food conservation, Dne in meth1 ods, and the other in practice. In the food conservation course the students will be given an opportunity to gain practice in methods of preserving foods. The course will furnish abundant practice in the best methods j of canning:, preserving, pickling, jelly making, drying, brining, preservation of e<rgs and many other methods of fooci preservation that may become necessary. The course in methods is for the purpose of acquainting the studentwho plans to become a county agent with the best methods of carrying on field work, including organizing and conducting home demonstration, canning, and poultry clubs, conducting community, county and state fair exhibits. Instruction will be given byi a successful trained field worker, who can speak from practical exper-; ience of field problems. I The last of these courses will in-( | elude the giving of demonstrations of. I various kinds, which is a great part; ot tne aemonsirauuii agem, s wu^. In this course the student -^will be j given an opportunity to see uemon-i , strations made by the best demon- j strators in the country, and under | expert supervision will be given prac-; tice in teaching by doing and in j presenting information gained in more or less technical courses in such a way that it appeals to the popular mind. ; Further information in regard to these courses may be obtained from the home demonstration department of Winthrop college. Those who are interested and wish to attend the summer school for these courses are ! asked to make arrangements as soon , as possible. fclG AMERICAN RUBBER PLANTATION i The fascination which the sirange j lands of the Far East have held for the average American is taking on a ( more tangible form, now that travel ' and business are bringing Asia and the United States into closer contact. ! No article of commerce is doing more to bring this country into close | touch with the mystic East than rubi ber. The rapid rise to supremacy in the production of crude rubber of i'L* "~1?Tnrlinn nrean. com ine ibianuo ui mv , bined with the fact that America con sumes nearly three-quarters of all the rubber grown there, has given many Americans an opportunity to peep bel hind' the scenes and become acquaint; ed with the lands and peoples of that distant quarter of the globe. | Although the whole equatorial belt ' in that section is dotted with rubber : plantations, representing a capital j investment of nearly half a billion 1 dollars, the thoughts of Americans naturally center on Sumatra where one of America's greatest corporations has established a plantation so ! vast in area and so highly developed that it stands out as the greatest single plantation in the world. This ! is the plantation of the United j States Rubber company, comprising j seventy square miles of growng trees, 1 an enterprse marked throughout bv ' - a magnitude ana an emtieutj . ? of the best American traditions, j By producing its own rubber the company is in a position to establish a uniformity in its manufactured product, especially United States tires, such as rubber manufacturers .have long craved. j TRUCK PNEUMATICS DO NOT PUNCTURE i , j ! Ono Dhase of the use of pneumatic ! truck tires which has worried the truck owner to no small degree is the 1 possibility of punctures. j "Regarding punctures," says W. V. ' Logan, manager of the pneumatic truck tire department of the United States Tire company, "our records ! show that an owner need not have a moment's worry about them. I have i tmfk<5 onerated in nracti ! cally every class of business, showing that pneumatic truck tires have been in service anywhere from one year to two and one-half years, and during ; the entire cime have never been off ! the rims. j "The rural free delivery division of | the United States Post Office department operates a fleet of trucks on pneumatics that is probably larger than any other in the country. They have had so few punctures that they j no longer believe it necessary to car-, ry spares. - j ] "As for mileage, I find in our * ?* - ? | records reports on set <utci rei Vx I tires which have rendered better than '20,000 miles. We have records ; through the United States in practi _ cally every class of service of from 10,000 to 50,000 miles, and those of j 40,000 to 50,000 were in extremely j hard service. The United States Nob; by Cord pneumatics especially adapt-; ; ed for rough or muddy roads where good traction is essential." j ' WINTHROP COLLEGE SUMMER SCHOOL !

A comedy or news weekly will be shown with each picture. j The three days to be spent at the summer school by Dr. Archibald} Henderson, of the University of j North Carolina, promise to be interesting: ones.
