The furnishings in your home are probably worth 5 or 10 times what you think they are. You’ve accumulated them one at a time—a chair, a book, a picture, a suit of clothes, a set of dishes—so you underes timate their total value. Your insurance on these things is probably only a frac tion of what it should be. For example, just list the things in one room, and see!

ELEAZER. Clemson College Extension Infor mation Specialist Spring! Spring has brought life and re newed beauty to earth again. At'this season I like to go deep in the country, away into the back places, far from empty beer bottles and oil cans, and where beauty is not barred and blocked by a bill board. There the mockingbird puts all of our singing efforts to shame, and wild clover is breaking through the greening sod. Flowers are coming in regular fashion, and lacy leaves ap pear on hill and hedge. The aroma of fresh turned earth is at hand, and the wild rabbit tames a bit and is seen playing in the open places. The garden buds with sum mer vegetables, and children run and play on feet released from shoes. The cow comes up the lane with a new calf, and the old sow is piling weeds in a fence corner. The hens are cackling in the barn yard, and the compost pile smokes as it is dis- i turbed. Yes, these and many other endur ing sight* are to be seen along the I dim byways now. The beauty and solidarity of these far places looks good when we turn from the sizzling jangle of the hot paths and linger along the rural lanes where folks are still doing a lot of abundant living. Pastures Large And SmaU I see improved pastures, large and small, everywhere I go. At places, many of them are one to three acres. These are taking care of the mule and family cow. Then I see a lot of in termediate ones, where the mule and family cow are taken care of, as well : as a few yearlings to sell or a few 1 extra cows that patronize the milk : route. Two Chimneys This is the sad story of two chim neys, bleak and stark against the sunset there on the hill. And of the 1 parched trees and dead shrubbery I that further marked the spot where the usual rubble lay. It happened when some of the cold late wind of March w£s blowing win ter awaV. Wood was piled on the {ire, as the family rested and read i there in the lamp’s mellow light. Of ■ a sudden there was a roar like a l train passing. The accumulation of I soot, during the mild days of smould- ) ering fires that had passed, caught fire in the chimney. Flame roared ten feet out of the chimney and a Cascade of sparks fell on the dry and tattered shingles on the lee side. And before they knew it, the beautiful old ancestral home was in flames' and ' they saved practically nothing, as the rich timbers burned almost like an ' explosion. They must not have had a radio. Or at least they must not have heard the “Voice of Clemson” on the air ! on several Saturdays before that at 112.36. For we told of the old and sensible custom of lighting a news paper on damp rainy* days and push- laugh out in safety until he cooled off. Property of Negro Schools $255229 Special to The Chronicle.

But it is still a good time to burn the chimneys out, specially if you have a wood shingle roof. For you might forget to do it ia the fall. And then too, that soot will be blowing down in your house every time it rains or the wind blows all summer if you don’t get it now. Boys Are That Way Our pasture was of the usual sort. And that was the poorest piece of land on the place, with a rickety rail fence around it. It was just an exercising ground. We tied our milk cow out all the year so she could get a little some thing to give milk on. In the winter it was honeysuckle almost altogeth er, and she did well on it. Her head got calloused and tough where the chain went around her horns, and it took a mighty good stake to hold her. And when we kids took her loose, she usually took us where she wanted to go, until we ran around a tree with our end of the chain. One day my daddy became a bit impatient with us when we said we couldn’t keep her from going to the oat field that tempted her down be low the house. We were in the back yard and she was drinking water. As soon as she finished she started towards the forbidden eat field. My daddy ran and grabbed the chain to show us. When she felt re sistance on the chain, she just buck ed her head down and increased her speed. Soon she had my daddy run ning so fast he couldn’t hold her back much. She cut through the bri ers and changed her course a bit, taking him across a batch of bushes and vines. He had lost his footing by that time,“but was still bolding on firmly as he sledded through the underbrush. t We got switches and helped him drive the cow out of the oats. He was out of breath, all scratched up and dusty, and threatened to thrasn us if we didn’t stop laughing. He also said something about “killing that blamed cow.” That made it harder for us to restrain ourselves. We were afraid he’d get on us and went down In the pasture. There we had our R AP your fist against these stout bars—feel the gauge of the bumper stock they’re made of— and you know you’ve got stout protection here. But then figure: Here are nine bumper guards (not counting the two that hold the parking lights) so that's one extra item you needn’t buy. And each is individually replace able — if damage should occur you have only a simple part or two to replace, instead of a complete, cast-metal grille. Thus this stunning new design — freshest front-end style note on the highways—protects your pocket- book as well as your car. Avoids costly repair bills as it avoids "locking horns’’ with the car ahead. Cuts upkeep as it cuts inches from the car’s total length, thus making parking and garaging easier. Tu** J MHO*.

A design that sets the coming style note—avoids many a tangle with the car ahead- makes handling easier—and costs less to repair. And note that parking-light lenses, made ot plastic and set deep in re cessed sockets, are wyll out of harm’s way—even when pushing a stalled car. You’ll find this bold front end only on Huick —as you’ll find Fireball power, Dynaflow Drive,* Buick’s wonderful ride, and many another headline value only on these beauties.
