California officials huve little re,
jfftrd for anyone who endangers the
forest*. One camper, who was convicted
of leaving a camp Are burning
In wooded land, waa sentenced to
stuv in jail "until it rains." So for
days he gazed through the bars of
the county jail, hopefully watching
for clouds to appearf.
Forests constitute great natural assets
of many states, and.every year
vast areas are burned over, destroying
thousands <xf acres of timber.
Much of this destruction is caused
by careless campers and picnic parties
and by motorists who discard
lighted cigarettes, cigars and matches
along the roadside.
The lack of care evident in forests
i? no different from that which re-'
suits in huge property losses from
other causes throughout the nation.
Year in and year out the destruction
continues, averaging about a halfbillion
dollars in property losses, according
to The National Hoard of
Fire Underwriters, and causing 10,000
deaths.
Reduction of this great waste is
* problem to which thinking Americans
may well give earnest
tioji. What can they do about it.
Each one can work out the problem
?f tiro-safety in relation to his own
home and business. This done, the
,c nil in lowered fire losses will be
of economic and social benefit to all.
Sit tin' Pretty J
It. can at least be said for the
thrifty farmer who has butter, milk,
eggs. vegetables and other food
grown on his own land, that lie Jfj,?
the envy of the high priced mutrbfj

and doesn't know wh^ he will get

The supreme court of New Jersey
has denied itov. Don Van' Devonder,
Methodist minister at Trenton, workmen's
compensation for injuries sustained
to his back in carrying ashes
from the parsonage. The court says
"carrying ashes is certainly not a
ministerial duty."
"Poney," a 27-year-old pony, was
handed an eighth grade certificate at
the school closing at Hiawatha, Kan.,
Friday when 234 boys and girls were
promoted to the next grade. The
pony has served its time going to (
school carrying pupils for many
years.
John Hughes Curtis, Norfolk, Va.,

Komihoh Club Meeting
On Saturday evening, May ^th,
the K ok in os Club of Columbia met at
the residence of Mr. Thomi* J. Kirkland,
in Camden. Twenty-nine weje
I in attendance, including four invited
ItrueatH. Thi? club was organized in
Columbia many years ago, and meets
in rotation, fortnightly on Saturday
'evenings at the home of some member.
It is composed of j>rofeasors m
the South Carolina University and
congeniul outsiders. All of its members
reside in Columbia except two,
one in Charleston and one in Camden.
Proceedings open with a supper setv-^
ed at 7:30 p. m. When the tables are
cleared and minutes of the previous
meeting disposed of, any member may
present a five-minute paper on any
subject ho chooses. Then the reading'
of the formal paper of the evening is
in order. A paper is expected once
each year from each member on any
subject he, may select. The whole
range of human affairs, science, ait,
politics, history, liternturfe .?* open
for choice. Hence the name of the
club?only Cosmos is s|u;lt with a
"K". Upon conclusion of the paper
the president calls upon such members
in turn as he may designate to
comment upon the paper. This usually
develops very animated discussion,
usually serious, not always complimentary,
but just as likely critical,
sarcastic or humorous.
At the meeting on the 2Hth Professor
Mills read an able paper on
the "Structure of Matter." He rendered
u profoundly obscure subject
entertaining as a romance, the characters
consisting of protons, electrons,
atoms. The discussion which
followed involved, of course, the Einstein
theories, the-.curvatui e of space
and the like, all of which seemed to
be fully understood by every one
present.
The diet of fried chicken and mince
pie proved a bit more substantial and
received equal appreciation.
Some members came in sufficient
time to drive through the battle
ground of Canulen, north of Gum
Swamp and around by the beautiful
locations of the old Mickle and
Stratford places, recently purchased
fSy Mr. (Mifiord Leonard. They were
greatly delighted by the drive.

Get ahead ?

THAT is the wherte story this year. Either
you get ahead of the weevil or he will get
ahead of you. Fields arc full of weevils this year,
according to reports. If they find squares, there
won't K*. nyjch CCttCn at pivkiufc i. inie.
Cotton squares arc the weevils' favorite food!
Thcrcf:ire don't give them any squares to e:t in
your held. Set your crop before they are ready.
A side-dressing of 100 p*>unds per acre (200 pounds
would be much better) of Chilean Nitrate will
do it. There is nothing like Chilean to pick up a
crop of cotlon and hurry it right past the.weevil.
What else cm you do that is so easy, so cheap;
so safe and so sure?
Sidc-drcss ?100 pounds Chilean Nitrate per

See your dealer now and impress on him you
want Chilean "Natural" Nitrate. He is anxious
