Cocos, or Queen Palm, Is Graceful and Pleasing One of the most graceful and pleas ing types of the feather palms for street parkway use, says the Los An geles Times, Is the Cocos or Queen palm (Cocos plumosa). There are sev- ei^l different varieties of this type such as the flexuosa and Roman offl- ana species. They are all similar in appearance. However, the flexuosa type seems to be hardier and has a more generous bunching of fronds. The Royal palm (Oredoxia regia), which grows In Florida, Is not hardy enough for southern California. > The ornamental Cocos palm used In southern California Is a native of Bra zil. It usually attains a height of twenty-five to thirty feet with occa sional specimens forty to fifty feet In height It sheds its fronds naturally In time and therefore has a smooth trunk. However, it Is usually neces sary to pull the old leaves off. The trunk diameter rarely exceeds eight een Inches. For this reason it Is par ticularly valuable for narrow street parkways. While they will grow in a three-foot parkway or In a three foot opening In a solid sidewalk. It Is bet ter to grow them In a wider parkway. From twenty-five to thirty feet Is usu ally the most satisfactory spacing for parkways. The Cocoa palm does not thrive In very cold weather and young palms are often checked In growth when In cold exposed locations. Th«»y also re quire good soil with adequate drain age. Naming Passenger Ships Requires Good Judgment In naming passenger ships consider ation must be paid to ease of pronuu- elation. An example exists in the case of the Cunarder Tyrrheula, says a writer io the Weekly Telegraph. As soon as she was so named half • dozen different ways of pronouncing her title came into existence. She was called ’Tie rhlnnla” by her officers; "Tle-rheola" ashore; and by the crew, after unhappy experiences with the German shopkeepers when she was on the Hamburg New York run. she was wittily nicknamed “Try-and-ruin-yoa.’’ The result of these complications was that the Cttnard authorities made a complete change from their usual practice of naming their vesaels after countries, etc. (I^isltunla for Portugal. Mauretania for North Africa, and so on), and renamed the Tyrrhenla l.an •astria. thus Incidentally paying I .a n rashire a compliment. PROVIDE FOR MORE MEAT IN LIVE-AT-HOME PLAN '■ 1 ' Clemson College.—With a better corn crop in South Carolina generally and a shorter pig ertfp than a year ago, we should have plenty of corn to feed out our hogs and furnish meat for the farm home, says L. V. Starkey, chief animal husbandman, who thinks it i 8 a good time for South Carolina farmers to make strides in the live- at-home program. “During the past year considerable progress has been made in the home curing of meats, and farmers can make further progres s in the live-at- home program,” Mr. Starkey states. “This dees not conflict with the plan of the government to reduce the hog population by marketing pig s and pigffy sows. Farmers on the average do not buy much meat and the home- curing of meat will mean that more meat will be consumed on the farms. “It ig neither desirable nor econo mical to make hogs too heavy for home use. Heavy carcasse s are more difficult to cure and more expensive to produce than those of medium weight. The best carcasses are from hog s which weigh around 200 pounds on foot. Good carcasses may be pro duced from any breed of hogs. “When selecting hogs for home use we should bear,in mind the smooth deep sides and plump hams. Also, since sows and stags do not sell for as much as the 200-pcund hogs, the difference in price may offer an oppor tunity to save some money by using the cheaper hogs at home. There is also the greater chance of losing the heavy hog s in cure if the weather is not favorable and cooling equipment is not available.” American Legion “ 1 Convention Chicago, 111., October 2-5, 1933 x “Century of Progress” LETS GO See 500,000 Veterans of World War on Parande. t \ - V ' See and hear President Rossevelt, address -the Veterans.

Can there be any stronger recommendation for a car than this O' Wl DO OUR MAT insurance FIRE WINDSTORM PUBLIC LIABILITY ACCIDENT - HEALTH SURETY BONDS AUTOMOBILE THEFT Calhoun and Co. P. A. PRICU, Manager. America can’t be fooled when it comes to spotting the besf “buy” in any field. America knows too much about motor cars for that. So when one certain car wins almost as ma/iy buyers as the next two put together, you know the answer; IT MUST BE BETTER. And that’s what the new Chevrolet Six most certainly is. Chevrolet is better looking—Chevrolet has better bodies—built not just of steel alone, but of steel reinforced by a sturdy hardwood frame. Chevrolet has a better engine—six cylinders for economy, cushion bal- * ancing for killing vibration! And Chevrolet gives better value—a long line-up of modem features which no other low-priced car can match. Now is the time to start thinking about a new car for winter! And when you .do so, think of the way Chevrolet is leading in sales. Could you ask for any stronger recommendation for a low-priced car than that?
