His wife hath her limousine and his first born sporletti a racing car that can hit her up in forty flat Lol All the people breaketh their necks to hand him money. A child is bora ante the wife of a merchant in the bazaar. The physician getteth ten goMeo planks. The editor writeth a stick and half and telleth the multitude that the child tippeth the beam at nine pounds. Yea, he lieth even as a cen turion. And the proud father giveth him a ere mo. Behold, the young one groweth up and graduateth And the editor putteth into his paper a swell notice. Yea, a peach of a notice. He telleth of the wisdom of the young woman and of her exceeding comeliness. Like unto the roses of Sharon is she and her gown is played up to beat the band. And the dressmaker getteth two score and four iron men. And the editor getteth a note of thanks from the S. G. G. The daughter goeth a journey. And the editor throweth himself on the story of the farewell party. It runneth a column, solid. And the fair one re- membereth him from afar with a pic ture postal card that costeth six for a jitney. Behold, she returneth and the youth of the city fall down and worship. She picketh one. Lo, she picketh a lemon. But the editor calleth him one of our most promising young men and getteth away with it. And they send unto him a bid to the wedding feast and behold, the bids are fashioned by Muntgum- mery Hawbuck, in a far ciiy. Flowery and long is the wedding notice which the editor printeth. The minister getteth ten bones. The groom standath the editor off for a twelve- month subscription. All flesh is grass and in time the wife is gathered into the silo. The minister getteth his bit. The editor printeth a death notice, two columns of obituary, three lodge notices, a cubit of poetry and a card of thanks. And he forget- teth to read proof on the head, and the darned thing cometh out “Gone to Her Last Roasting Place.” And all that are akin to the deceased jumpeth on the editor with exceeding great jumps. And they pulleth out their ads and canceUeth their subscrip tions and they swing the hammer unto the third and fourth generations.. Canst thou beat it? Farmers, Teachers, Ministers and Others to Be Instructed. For four weeks of this summer, the agricultural faculty of Clemson College will be devoting its time to four short courses, plans for which have already been announced. The courses will be given to farmers, rural school teachers of agriculture, rural ministers and corn club boys. An attractive pam phlet describing the courses has been printed and this and other information may be obtained by applying to J. C. Littlejohn, Registrar, Clelmson College: The farmers,’ teachers' and boys’ courses will be held from August 9 to September 4. The ministers' course will be held from August 10 to August 20. The summer courses have been so arranged that one can get just what he most needs even though he is unable to stay at the college for all of the four weeks. In the farmers’ short course, the first week will be “Dairy Week," the second week, “Animal Husbandry Week,” the third week, "Horticulture Week,” the fourth week, “Agronomy Week.” Teachers of agriculture in the rural schools will be given an excellent opportunity to acquire valuable in formation on their subject They will have both theoretical and practical work. Superintendent Swearingen has issued a letter to county super intendents. trustees and teachers, directing their attention to this short course for teachers at Clemson College and urging them to give it their active support. In each county, the two winning Boys' Corn Club members were offered as prizes a scholarship in a short course at Clemson College and it is believed that a large proportion of the boys will take advantage of the oppor tunity and come to Clemson for the course in August. A special curriculum will be mapped out for them and they will have the best instruction from both the agricultural department and the extension and demonstration forces. The course for country ministers will be the first of its kind in the South. In part it will emphaszie rural economics, centering about the church, and In part it will teach agricultural subjects. It will cost one dollar to matricu late in any course and the other ex penses will consist of three dollars a week for board, room, laundry, water and one dollar a week for laboratory fees. The entire equipment of the agri cultural department and of the li brary will be at the service of those who take the summer course. A series of evening lectures, some on agricultural subjects, will be open to all The athletic field for base ball and tennis will be available for recrea tion. In the boys’ course, the last hours in the afternoon will be de voted to base ball, basket ball, track work, swimming and gymnasium. It is expected that among the nightly lectures there will be some of very special merit. The complete list of speakers and subjects will be an nounced later. One of these lectures will be given each evening at 8 o’clock and many will be illustrated. Each Saturday evening there will, be a mov- ihg-picture entertainment pertaining to some branch of agriculture. Those who enroll for these courses may stay one week or four, as they wish.
