CLINTON, S. C., MAY 1, 1924 ia PAGES COMMENCEMENT SEASON The word commencement implies that the student is at the beginning. The commencement at a higher insti tution of learning is taken as denot ing the time when the graduate goes out into the world to take part in its professional or business activites. It is for such a graduate the commence ment of his participations in the broader concerns of life. The word commencement implies that the stu dent should look forward to what is yet to be achieved rather than back ward to what has already been ac complished. The high school student especially should have the forward look. He should not be content until he has finished college and thus fit ted himself for broader usefulness in life. The world is now facing a new *ra, the call is for. well trained men and women, and parents should not think that their children can face this new era with not greater educa tional preparation than their parents had. The commencement season of the city schools, college and orphanage are always looked forward to with genuine interest by the people of the community. Their closing programs bring into our -midst a number of distinguished visitors and speakers. Who can measure' the value of these institutions .to oar community ? Commencement season in Clinton is a delightful season. CAL OVERLOOKS RUTH. A WORLD OF MYSTERY. WE NEED AIRSHIPS. .

Good advice. Luckily our form of government will maintain itself.

POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS It is the policy of The Chronicle to give every candidate a square deal regardless of what the opinion of the publisher may be in regard to a par ticular candidate. The paper will take no stand for or against candi dates unless some emergency arises which makes it seem best to support certain principles and this will be done regardless of whose candidacy may be affected. In local political. cam paigns, especially, it is the office of the paper "to furnish the best and cheapest method of communication to those who wish to reach the voters of the county with their message. This is one of the elements of the great value of a paper to any com munity. Our candidates’ column con tinues to grow because the people read the paper and the office-hold ers and office-seekera know it. are glad to be able to state that this paper is being read throughout this section and the county to a greater extent today than ever before. Therefore, it is the best possible medium, cost considered, for those who desire to gain the attention of the people of Laurens county. Jam-Up Game Here Friday Goes To Demon Deacons By Lone Run. In a game repleted with thrills and hair-raising plays until the last out of the ninth inning, Trinity college’s baseball team nosed out Presbyterian college, 5 to 4, here Friday afternoon. Beautiful plays, timely hitting and air-tight defensive tactics characteri zed the playing of both clubs. With the score 5 to 3 in Trinity’s favor the Blue Stockings threatened to wrest the game from the North Carolinians in the last half of the ninth. Warner was safe on a fielder’s choice, stole second and scored when Moore singled. Miller walked with iwo down, and Lewis, pinch hitter, flied out to short. Presbyterian college scored two rung to start the first inning and from then on it was a see-saw affair between the two combatants. The entire Blue Hose aggregation played tiptop ball with Hannah pitching su perbly. Holliday was the star of the day with his wonderful fielding. Trinity played jam-up ball and it was a matter of chance as to the win ning team. Me Davis of Trinity col lected a four base trip with one man on base in the second inning. Presbyterian 4 7 0 Trinity 6 10 0 Hannah and R.

To bump into it would mean destruction to any ship. In old days men would have said, “Let us pray that no unfortunate ship will strike that fearful ice berg.” Praying is good, especially when accompanied by deeds. Now this Government sends the revenue cut ter Modoc, to trail along beside that iceberg as it moves slowly and majes tically to its melting place near the equator. And as the big iceberg moves, the little cutter broadcasts warnings, telling ships to keep away. That’s a sign of civilization.

These endorsements are especially in teresting just at this time, in view of the coming of the nationally known Redpath Chautauqua! which opens here next Monday for a seven day’s program. Among the tributes to ChauAuqua, which Theodore Roosevelt called “the only distinctly American institution,” are those of Woodrow Wilson and Enthasiasm. Clemson College, April 27.—-The secret of your success in gardenings after proper preparation, lies in keeping up the enthusiasm and the cultivation, ways A. E. Chflletter, ex tension horticulturist. If the garden is -properly prepared to begin with, cultivation during the growing season is a comparatively simple matter, consisting of keeping surface soil well stirred and prevent ing weed growth. In the small gar den, the cultivation will be done by hand, with hoes, rakes and hand wheel hoes. The wheel hoe is a very serviceable implement and one should be owned by every gardener, who can afford it. The farm garden, being on a larger scale, should be cultivated for the most part with horse-drawn cultivators. Cultivation, as a rule, should be shallow and frequent. A depth of two or three inches 4s about right, and once every ten days is not too often to give the ground a good stir ring. After each rain, as soon as the soil is dry enough, the surface soil should be cultivated in order to con serve the moisture and to prevent baking of the surface of the ground. Now Dr. Banting, a brilliant young scientist who discovered insulin, cure, for diabetes, says that having dis covered it, he is doing his best now 44to find out what it is. One thing is sure, it is an expensive product. Pure insulin, enough to make a nice pile on a twenty-five piece, would _cost half a million dol lars. ‘' Pacifists ahd those who favor the League of Nations please read. The British House of Commons has just been informed that Japan is building 36 fighting crafts, 13 of them subma rines. Japan goes ahead quietly with de termination and intelligence. And she knows enough to build submar ines. For what purpose do you sup- pose she is building them? Not to take the Mikado for a little trip, cer tainly. The future war will be by submar ines and flying machines. And this country should have plenty of both. More than any other nation. We can’t afford it. They can’t. So much the better for peace. J.
