Gray May Offer For Senate The following item ia taken from The Laurens Advertiser of the past week: < "Reports have been ^circulated dur ing the past few days that W. L. Gray, representative in the lower house of the legislature, was consid ering making the race for the senate in opposition to Senator O. P. Good 4 - win, already announced. Mr. Gray was asked about the rumor yesterday. He said that he had been aprroached by quite a number of people with promises of support if he should run, but that he was not ready to make a decision. He said that he had form- - — ed many ties in the lower house but that if he offers for either place- he wished to go where he could be of most service to the county. "Mr. Gray has served two years in the lower house. Among the import-, ant acts passed Sy the house with which he was directly connected were the acts providing for a state office building to save rent, and for provid ing increased payments to high schools on account of attendance of pupils from other districts. His prin cipal activity hmi been for legislation along educational lines. XT i TFartnl The State of New York hae 9,000 more students in colleges and univer sities than the entire United Kingdom. Noted Impersonator to Appear at Coming Redpath Chautauqua JOHN B. RATTO John B: Rntto, famous Impersonator, will be one of the outstanding attrac tions at the coming Redpath Chautauqua. Mr. Ratto presents programs full of life and action and with not a dull mo ment, consisting of types and characters one meets in the average American community and of noted men, past and present. He presents these characters in “make-up,”'penciling In full view of the audience, telling an appropriate story the while. Penciling finished, he turns to a table mirror, adjusts his wig and faces about to surprise his audience with the accuracy of a character distinct In appearance, speech and manner, and With a personality all its own. p Substitutes are gener- — ally more expensive ia the end than genuine / articles. Housewives . have learned — they * KNOW this is true where bakings are con cerned. Self rising flours are __ classed as'Substitutes — for plain flour and good baking powder. The use of these special mixtures is very liable to result in false econ omy, failures and waste on bake day. : Remember there is a big difference, in many ways, between biscuits and other bakingsmade from these so-called self-rising flours and those made from good v plain flour and a de pendable leavener. Try the experiment— make a baking from each— convince yourself. You will find the baking made from flour and baking powder far more attractive in appearance. It will raise higher— retain its full food value and taste better. For best result:, do not fail to use Calu met, the Economy Baking Powder, and a 4 reliable brand of plain flour. Just think of it—the sale of Calumet is 2y% times as much as that of any other brand. It contains only such ingredients as have been officially approved by the . United States Food Authorities. It is pure and sure. \ou save when yon buy it—you pave when you use it PACKED IN UN —KEEPS STRENGTH IN arm Demonstration News Xt tt By C. L. VAUGHAN . Conofty Demonstration Agent Hite poultry specialists of Clemeon end Winthrop colleges tell us that eggs will analyze about 66 per cent water. Water ia cheap so give the chickens plenty of good, fresh water all the summer. The baby chicks coming off now should be fed wdl and pushed in or der to make good layers for the fall. Hatching season is about over, so kill your roosters or sell them and pro duce infertile eggs for the summer. Infei*ile eggs will sell better and will keep longer than fertile ones. There is no use of feeding the old roosters until another hatching time. Plan now to either have poultry that lay brown shell eggs or white shell eggs and do not have them mixed. Mixed breeds will give off colored eggs and off colored eggs shipped to foreign markets will not bring a very good price. Laurens county will have enough of farmers raising both broym shell and white shell eggs poultry to form an organization for marketing eggs on foreign markets. One coun ty in North Carolina last fall organi zed with 68 members. They were able to get a contract for 45 cents per dozen for their eggs the year round. We can do the same in this county by most of the people keep ing pure-bred chickens. Home Orchards About 75 per cent of the peaches in Laurens county were killed by the frost a short time ago, but persons who have one-third of a crop should spray now for the worms if they have not already done so. Time recommended for spraying is when three-fourths of the shucks (and not the blooms) have fallen. Spray with material made by using one pound Arsenate lead, two pounds of lime to 50 pounds of water. The lime should be slacked in a small quanti ty of water and lead dissolved in a small quantity. When these are ad ded to the 60 gallons of water, it should be strained through a cloth in order to keep sediment out of the solution. From two to three weeks after the above spray is given, Ato mic Sulphur or self-boiled lime sul phur should be used. Directions for dilution of Atomic Lime Sulphur will come under package. For informa tion about spraying for self-boiled lime sulphur, write to the County Agent for Clemspn College Bulletin No. 25. Two to three sprayings ior the Atomic Sulphur is all that is necessary for the rots. It is recom mended to use Arsenate of lead with the first sulphur, spraying one pound to 50 gallons of the solution. The home orchard should' be ferti lized and cultivated as same as cot ton or corn, for it will injure a fruit tree for weeds and grass to take the moisture and manure away from the trees. If it pays to set out fruit trees, it will be profitable to cultivate and fertilize them. Sow peas or soy beans in the orchard and do not plant any tall growing crops. Legumes In Corn To see legumes in corn is one indi cation of a good farmer. Every row of corn in Laurens county should have either peas, soy beans, or velvet beans in it. If this was done this year we would notice a big difference in the crops in the county next year. Beans and peas are very high this year, but they are not as high {M fertiliser when we consider the amount of free nitrogen drawn from the air and stored in the plant. We cannot afford to have our corn fields and grain stubble land bare this sum mer. In regards to velvet beans, they will probably reduce the pro duction of corn about 10 per cent, which will mean on an average of two bushels of corn per acre in Lau rens county, hut usually the bean and vine crops in the com fields ia about equal in value to the total product ion of com that they are in. We cannot afford to lose an increaaed production on land in order to say that the velvet beans will decrease our corn only 10 per cent. Good velvet bean seed is hard to find this year so be particular how you buy and inisist on getting a germination test if possible. asa **=mi& NOTICE TO DEMOCRATIC CLUBS EXCURSION — BEAUFORT, S. C.

Parts You Never They Are The Heart And Soul Of Hupmobile Goodness Behind the Hupmobile parts display on view in our sales room lies the story of Hup- mobile owner satisfaction. These parts—which look no different from parts of lesser quality but actually are vastly different — are the heart and soul of all the good you hear about the Hupmobile. In them is bound up the long life of the car—all its virtues of low costs and few replace ments, of superior performance and high running economy. The Hupp factory could use materials of lessee quality, it could manufacture them into parts at lower cost, if it chose. But if that were to be done, the Hupmobile would sink to the dead level of motor cars, instead of being the superior automobile it is widely acknowledged to be.
