REPORT OF CIVIC I
IMPROVEMENTS COM.
As to Several Improvements
Needed in the Town?Civic
League Plans.
The following: is a report of the
Civic Improvement Committee of the
Chamber of Commerce:
January 7th, 1921.
Feeling that the work of this committee
naturally would lie along the
same lines as the activities of the
Civic League, this committee has
communicated with that organization
and offered our co-operation and asked
their suggestion as to how we can
best serve the civic interests of the
town. As this has been of recent (late
we are not yet in touch with their
work, but hope we will be able to be
of mutual service.
Feeling that our children should
come first in our consideration, we
thought it well to give our first attention
to the school yard and play
ground. Oji taking this matter up
with Mr. Alexander, we were informed
th^t the Civic League had plans
along this direction and had .appropriated
present funds for this development.
In like mariner in considering the
question of the court house grounds
we understood that our good friends,
the ladies, are interesting themselves
in this direction. We therefore feel
that these projects can best be served
by co-operating with them.
The committee took under advisement
the matter of a drive-way along
the lake front. This we think very
desirable, and suggest that the Chamber"^)f
Commerce communicate with
the town council, and request them,
if possible, to provide a driveway
along the lake front from Fourth avenue
to SnoV Hill. If a lack of sufficient
funds makes a driveway impossible
at this time we would recommend
that at least a trail suitable
for pedestrians be opened up along
the lake front at ati early date.
We would also recommend that the
County Commissioners be asked to
take over the Snow Hill bridge, put
it in good repair and also put in good
shape the road connecting the bridge
with the shipyard. This would not
only open up a pleasant drive around
the two lake bridges, but would also
help to relieve the heavy traffic over
the steel bridge across the lake.
Considerable can be contributed to
the beauty of the town by every property
owner cleaning up his premises,
especially vacant lots. We suggest
that this be called to the attention
of property owners, and that they be
urged to clean all vacant lots and
with the comirtg. of spring, seed in
grass or plant flowers. As the town
is making use of the vacant lot near
the depot, we would suggest that the
council be asked to improve the appearance
of this lot by clearing out
the small growth and by cleaning the
un. Thp! nlace is now beiner
r"" " -r- i ? ?
used considerably as a park, and with
little work can he made to present a
pleasing appearance to people coming
to the town by rail.
On other matters we have under
advisement we will defer recommendations
to a more seasonable time.
' Respectfully submitted,
PAUL QUATTLHRAUM.
Chairman.

CLEMSON COLLEGE NOTES.
Clemson College, Jan. 10.?By ten
o'clock Monday night cadets were
pouring into the barracks from all
idirections and by twelve o'clock the
corps was nearly one hundred per
cent oi its original strength before
the Christmas holidays. Owing to
the financial condition some apprehension
was felt as to the probable
number that might not return after
the holidays, but it is gratifying to
know that only six are still unaccounted
for, and they have more than
been replaced by new recruits, who
for some reason did not enter at the
beginning of the session.
HoriVs representative is the same
as for the first term?six regular students
and two Federal Board students.
There is no certainty, however, as to
how 1omr it will remain the same
as Joe Graham is considering gointto
Lander College, Lloyd Williams to
Columbia College and "Frogie" Altman
to (1. VV. C. This is obviously the
effect of the Christmas holidays, and
as it rapidly becomes history they
will doubtless reconsider the matter
and be able to compromise with regular
week-end leaves.
Quite a change was made in the
cadet officers at the beginning of the
second term, one of the most important
bemg the promotion of Joe Graham
to Second Lieutenant.
Rev. Mr. Goode preached a very in
teresting sermon to a taryo congregation
at the Br.pt i.st chur?;li Sunday.
"Froggie" Alt'mn and Uoyd Williams
were welcome visitors to room
8^8 evening.
We are glad to note that "Dickie"
Derham and Furman Fowler are both
rapidly recovering from a severe case
of the "blues," and at present arc
both able to don their O. D.'s.

PROPER HANDLING
OF MS ENGINES
Needed to Make Them Efficient
Means of Profit on
Farms
igi\iorance"causes
loss of time
Hence Owner (hight to Under- i
stand How to Keep
Them Adjusted
Thousands of farmers in all parts
of the country use, gasoline engines
as a source of at least part of their
power. The number in every branch
of farming is constantly increasing.
From the production of crops to their
harvest and preparation for sale,, and
even their tansportation to market,
the gasoline engine facilitates the
business of farming. Tractors, gas
engines to run belt machinery,
and motor trucks are enabling
farmers to increase their operations.
It is therefore. good business
on the part of the farmer
to use them whenever time, labor
and oo^ts can he reduced.
Though the gas engine, whether
the stationary type, tractor, truck, or
automobile, is a great labor saver
when operated efficiently, it is also at
times the cause of a great labor
waste. Often large crews hired to
help with thrashing, hay baling, cut
ting ensilage, etc., draw full wages
for hours spent in idleness owing to
insufficient handling of the engine.
A man will sometimes spend much
more time and energy in starting a
gas engine to pump water for stock,
run a milking machine, or for some
other similar purpose, than would be
required to do the work by hand.
Such lost time is to a great extent
preventable. Gas engines are not
difficult to operate, and delays from
engine trouble are usually due to the
operator's lack of knowledge of some
of me details essential to proficient
operation, say specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Keep Knuines in Repair.
The first essential in gasiline engine
operation is to keep it in good
repair. All catalogues and directions
furnished by the manufacturer should
be studied carefully. Most manufacturers
publish instructions on the
care and operation of the engines
they manufacture, and in order to get
the most satisfactory results from an
engine the owner should study and
put into practice these instructions.
Eveiyone who operates a gas engine
should learn first to stop and
reason as to the probable cause of
any trouble which develops. In tracing
trouble a definite system should
be followed. When an engine refuses
to start the trouble will, with a very
few exceptions, be due to some interruption
of the supply of the proper
mixture of gas and air, or to the failure
of the electrical system which fur
nishes the spark to fire the compressed
mixture. Every system to locate
trouble should take these two points
into consideration.
With all engines using spark plugs
it is comparatively easy to ascertain
whether electrical or ignition system
is working properly. Remove the
plug and by taking it apart see if the
porcelain is not broken. See that the
points are properly spaced and remove
the deposit of carbon. A space
of about one thirty-second of an inch
?the thickness of a worn dime? if
the proper distance between the
points.
To test the spark connect the wire
with the plug and place the latter sc
that the metal base touches the engine
casting;, then crank the engine
and note whether a spark jumps th<
space between the points. This sparl
should be a heavy blue, a bluish
white, or a "fat" yellow one lookinjc
like a small flame. But if it is tbir
and greenish, or showing red, th<
chances are it is too weak to fire the
charge of gasoline. In such case, 01
if there is no spark, trouble may be ii
the wire connections, or the magneto
or if <l$y qells are used, they may b<

too weak. See that all the wire is
properly insulated and not soaked
with oil, and that all connections
are tight and clean. If there is no
trouble in the wiring and dry cells
are used, the latter may be tested by
attaching the wires direct to the
points of the cells. Though magnetos
seldom give trouble, if there is every
reason to believe that it is not functioning
properly, it should be taken
to an expert for repairs.
See That Fuel is Supplied.
When an examination shows that a
Rood ,spark is being1 obtained at the
right time, the next step is to see
whether the engine is receiving the
proper mixture of fuel and air. Examine
the carburetor and make sure
that the gasoline reaches it properly.
Sometimes water gets into the carburetor
and gives considerable trouble.
For this reason, the carburetor and
gasoline line?the pipe connection
from the gasoline tank?should be
drained to remove not only any water
which may he present but aprticles of
dirt. It sometimes happens that the
needle valve in the carburetor is closed
or stopped with dirt and the gasoline
can not pass. If the engine has
a petcock leading into the combustion
chamber, by opening this and
cranking the engine a few times one
can tell by smelling the escaping air
whether gasoline is entering t1^
chamber. If it is not, open the needle
valve, first being careful to note the
I original position so that it will be
! possible to adjust it. It is sometimes
I necessary to remove this valve in order
to clean it properly. When the
engine is running the valve may be i
oDened or closed slightly in order to
get the proper mixture of fuel and air
with which the engine runs best.

CLEAN UP COTTON STALKS
AND KILL WEEVILS
Clemson College, S. C.?"The
following are a few of many reasons
why the cot\pn fields should be
cleaned up and stalks destroyed,"
says George M. Anderson, assistant
ontomolojrist, in urging farmers to
clean up fields now to help keep the
weevils in chock ftext season. !
1.?Hordes of adult weevils arc
killed outright.
2.?The immature stages on the
plant are killed.
3.?The adult weevils not killed
will be weakened by starvation,
especially if stalks are destroyed
two or three weeks before frost, and
will not have sufficient strength to
pass the winter alive.
4.?The removal of the stalks
facilitates fall and early winter plow
ing, which makes possible an early
crop next season.
There are three principal methods
by which the stalks may be destroyed.
Each method has advantages
and disadvantages.
1.?Uprooting or cutting, piling
and burning.
2.?Turning vjjiuer as creep piw.ticable
.
3.?Grazing the field, if a siTfficient
number of animals can be had
to clean the leaves, bolls and squares
off the stalks in a few days' time.
If you would make a good cottori
i crop next year, see that the stalks
are completely destroyed as early as
i possilble.
o
| FUR BEARERS CONSUE WASTE.
Generally speaking*, it is not wise
' to exterminate fur-bearing animals
indiscriminately, say snecialists of
' the Biological Survey, United States
" * w l..
i Department ot Agriculture, in mu?i
; cases the smaller fur-bearing crea
tures do little damage on the farm.
Often they perform a positive ser
J vice by ridding the orchards and
> fields of some of their worst pest1*.
Unless they are found guilty of kill;
ing chickens or of doing some equal;
ly definite injury, it i.? far morn
c profitable to spare the fur beaver.
until seasonal conditions will assure
T a full value from the pelt.
