HERE ARE SOME IDEAS FOR CLOSING SUMMER COTTAGE When a summer camp or cottago is closed for the winter, the furnishings must be protected from mice, squirrels., insects, and fire. The United Stutes Forest Service suggests: Dispose of every scrap of food, leaving nothing for mice or insects. Flour, sugar, spices and salt will keep all winter In moisture-proof and verminproof containers such as tin boxes or glass jars with tight lids. Don't leave packaged food like cereals which have been opened Fats of any kind will become rancid Bottled liquids and canned goods are likely to freeze and burst. For fire prevention and cleanliness, i dispose of rubbish like papers, old | magazines and rags?particularly oily I cloths or those that have been used tor cleaning or in painting. Put matchj es in a tight container that mice can not gnaw Mice also eat candles and wax tops j , from jellies, and when very hungry | . they will eat soap and soap flakes 'in unoccupied houses, mice and ajulr! rHs sometimes get Into mattresses -and make nests. Some campers hang { mattrosses and pillows on the room ' partitions over the winter, j Rub a little oil over bed springs, j stoves, and screw heads to prevent ! rust If tho climate Is damp. Store blankets, comfortables, and ' woolen sweaters or bathing suits In | a tight box or truuk after brushing them and making sure they nfe clean i and free from moths or moth eggs. Sprinklo nnphthalene or other mothprotective substances on them I Close all flrepiacos and range dampi era and plug any holes, such as a refrigerator drain pipe, to keep out mice and insects. Shut off water, electricity, or gas. and drain pipes and traps. Curtains must come down and be put away clean and ready for use next year. If there are shades, pull them down to prevent fading of the furnishings and to baffle Inquisitive prowlers. In some climates sterna shutters will be needed. C/ * 4 aa I ' Death of 8. D.

Hcheduled for October IS, ?1?0 to be held lit Columbia. Senator K. D. Smith will preside at tho senate coiui mittee hearing and has Issued the following statement: "The meeting of the senatorial committee to take testimony us to what j the farmers desire in tho senate bill contemplated fn the u,ext session of the senate, will be held In Columbia on the 19th of October. "We desire tbut tho real farmers shall be present, as they are the ocas who we desire to interview, and get their Ideas as to what charade/ of legislation, if any, they desire. "It Is essential for the proper legislation, that the rank and file of the farmer be given an opportunity to express themselves, as they are the ones to be vitally affected by whatever legislation is passed. The representatives, or rather members of tills class of the farmers, rarely have an opportunity to express themselves before a senatorial investigating commit lee, and it was for this reason that 1 and others that we take the matter to the farmer rather than uaking those who could, to come to Washington to testify. "Those whom we desire to represent have neither the time nor the money to make the trip to Washington. 1). C? and give their testimony." Commissioner Jones in calling His meeting Julvised that it was in accord with the views of the United States senate hearing and also that the recent conference of Southern commissioners of agriculture, held at Memphis, passed a resolution requesting t he commissioners in the various states to hold a meeting of farmers to,form some deflate Ideas to present the United States Agriculture committee. The following resolution was recently adopted by the Southern commissioners: Resolved that the commissioners of agriculture are urged to call in their respective states a meeting of the producers and others interested in cotton and other farm products coVrred by the pending farm legislation for the information and expression of public opinion on these subjects to thq end that a forum may be nrnvlded for effectively expressing the views of producers and others on the national policy to be expressed in the forthcoming farm legislation." .. At the October first meeting, it is hoped several definite plans can be formulated from the many idbaij ex-i pected to be advanced. These plans will be a guide to those attending the October 19th hearing and will furnish the committee with information that will enable them to realize the needs of the fanners in South Carolina. In commenting upon his meeting. Commissioner Jones said: "To insure ourselves of some permanent farm legislation that will protect the interest of both small and large producers. I hope every farmer, be he one bale or a hundred, will come and uxpress his views." Similar meetings are being held in other states. ~ Negro Shot In 1 Attempted Escape Columbia. Sept. 21.?Chief W. H.

In the ration of growing chicks it is now definitely known that manganese is the chief element concerned in preventing the development of the condition known as slipped tendon or elarged hock. This element can best he supplied by liberal use of wheat shorts, wheat bran and rice bran. Even with these supplements there are times when additional manganese may be needed," he said.
