Nobody's Business Written for The Chronicle by Gee McGoc, Copyright, 15)28. BROWSING AROt'ND WITH TIIB WM'KR TBN ..I was invited out thr other evening. Nothing but swell-company was eligible. 1 am still trying to figger out how me and my wife got on the preferred list, but we were there OK, and on time. She is very fond of high society. ..The folks who gave the dinner., that's what, they called it, and the clock had already .struck 8 p. m., when we sut down.... were and still are the big shots of the city in which this occasion happened to occasioned. They are not connected with no bank or nothing like that. ..I never saw so much dog put on in all my life as was "on stage" that night. Dresses were ripped far below the waLst-line in the back and almost as dangerous in the front. Jim Awfingers and high hats were plentiful. I felt out of place as I didn't have on anything but regular clothes. . .The frisky little intellectual who sat next to me was as prissy and as kittenish a.s jennie wren. Sh? evidently wanted to impress me with her grey matter.... which was supposed to contain knowledge of the distant past, ancient history, noted musicians, marvelous writers and play-rights, and so forth. She was at least 45 and married, but was playing 2-1 and single. ..She said many things, but I recall only a few of them, as follows: "Oh, Mr. Gee?arn't you just wild about Shaks Speer?" I told her that I had never met "Shaks," but knew Tom and Bill Speer very well indeed. She talkod so much about Hamlet, I decided that I'd like to meet him, but found out later from her that he was dead. ..She asked me how I liked Voltaire and ITeet-hoven. I explained to her that 1 had never met Vol or Beet either, and couldn't say that I liked them at all. She kept on raving about \ c.> > Pucius and Cleo Patra while I was drinking my tomato juice and rubbing the grapefruit hack-fire out of my eyes. She didn't have on over 14 ounces of cloth.ng, counting everything she might of had on that she might not have had on. She knew everything about everybody that I had never heard of, and didn't know anything about anything at all, so far as 1 could ascertain. I never want to hear so much "high" conversation again The 2 .sor.gs the young girl and the young man ?ur.g sounded like cross betwixt a calf bellowing and a pig squealing. The lady who pecked on the piano for 45 minutes never did get in a mile of a tur.e I had a very good time the last two hours of the evening. I got the o\j mar. cornered off in the breakfast r<jr rr., and he and 1 discussed b.rd dogs, the gold standard, inch cotton, processing tax on wheat and rotten pontics. He sat where he could spit his tobacco juice out of the window. Rut it was a great party, so the newspaper said in S colonani the next day. MIKE WANTS TO BECOME A JAILER flat rock, s.

The origin of the firy is unknown, this being the out of season time no activities were being carried on in the building.

Lumber Lode (Jives Impetus to Forestry j ? Approval by President Roosevelt of j seven*,! amendments to the Lumber j Code promises to give the practice of I forestry in the United States it*! greatest impetus since the National J Forests weye placed under intensive j administration more than a quarter of j a century ago, says the United States j Forest Service. * The amendments provide for the ( continuous production of timber on all privately pwned forest lands through- , out the country. They were formu lated by the lumbermen in cooperation with public agencies interested in forest conservation, and carry the endorsement of the Lumber Code Authority and the N. R. A. The Code as now supplemented sets up general standards of forest prac- j tice to be followed by all timber operators under its jurisdiction, and requires divisions of the Code Authority to prepare detailed and specific rules applicable to local forest conditions but conformable to the fcs! tablished broad standards. These ! rules must bp submitted to the Code : | Authority for examination and * approval, after which the local Code J * agencies are to put them in effect i f and enforce them. The Forest Ser- ! [vice and other interested public j i agencies are to have representation j ion the local governing boards. The program will go into effect j June 1 and the forestry measures required will be mandatory on all timber operators subject to the jurisdiction of the various divisions of the Lumber Code. Strong safeguards against fire are thrown about the forests. The individual operator is to be responsible for fire protection during logging. Me must dispose of slash, enforce rules concerning smoking in the woods, provide spark arresters on locomotives and logging engines, suspend operations in dangerously dry weather and have his crews and equipment on immediate call for fire fighting. ?

He Bit His A young woman, anxious to do work during the war decided to cheer the wounded soldiers in the hospitals. "How many Germans did you conquer?" she asked the first man she came to. "Five," he replied. "And how did you do it?" she asked. "With my right hand," he answered. "You are a hero!" she_cried, "and I am going to kiss that hand five times!" The rest of the ward had been listening with interest, and at the next cot was an Irishman who instantly answered her query. "Twenty-foive." he replied.

Sumtej- Herald. April Farm Calendar Clemson College, April 2.?Closespace the cotton plants, says R. W. Hamilton, extension agronomist, whose April farm reminders are limited to the importance of a good stand of cotton. About 20,000 plants per acre are necessary, he says, to obtain maximum results., from land, labor, and fertilizer. To obtain a good stand," Mr. Hamilton suggests further: Prepare a finely pulverized seedbed; mix fertilizer thoroughly with the soil; plant 1.5 to 2 bushels of good seed; cover seed well at uniform depth; pray for good weather. Horticulture?-Bed sweet potatoes If not already bedded. Sow tomato seed for midseason and late crops. Sow asparagus seed if not already sown for plants next season. Plant tender vegetables. Transplant tomatoes, pepper, etc., in coldframe and gradually harden for setting later. Fertilize fruit trees and start cultivation. Agricultural Engineering.?Recondition fertilizer distributors and planters to insure uniform distribu tion of fertilizer and seed. Two-1 horse cultivators can be equipped and adjusted to open a furrow, distribute fertilizer and bed at one operation. Rearrange fields and combine small patches for longer rows and more efficient use of machinery. Insects and Diseases.?Put spray equipment in good working order and have materials in readiness for summer sprays on apples and peaches. Remove and burn rough bark and codling moth bands from apple trees and secure new bands for use in May. Disinfect seed of watermelons and cucumbers with a one to 1,000 solution of corrosive sublimate to control anthracnose. In setting out plants i discard any that are affected by disease or root knot. Spray with Bordeaux mixture or lime sulphur to control fungus disease. Plant wiltresistant cotton where loss from this j disease has occurred.
