HEMINGWAY SCHOOL CLOSES. j
A C Hinds, Esq, Addressed Graduating
Class Friday Night.
Hemingway, May 28:?The Hem-,
ingway High and Graded school clos- j
ed a most successful session on last j,
Friday. This was the first session j
that the school has held in its new'
brick building which was comp'et- j
ed last summer, and with the use of
modern class rooms,up to date facilities,
and a strong corps of teachers,
the work done this year has had a (
more telling effect than ever before, j
The commencement exercises be- ,
gan Sunday with the annual sermon ,
by the Rev B J Guess,of Greelyville.!,
Mr Guess spoke along educational. <
lines and at the same time presented i
in vivid style the very precarious j
conditions at this time confronting j i
r the American people. j <
This was followed on Monday night j j
Kw a riolicrKffn] nrnflrrAM hv the PlP- | <
mentary achool in the form of a red, <
white and blue drill and a beautiful j
cantata. The latter was quite an un- j
dertaking, but was rendered with i
s great success.
On Tuesday night the graduating
class of '17 rendered its program,
which consisted of the salutatory, 1
class prophecy,class will,class history '
and valedictory. These ably written 1
papers were followed by an address *
made by A C Hinds, Esq, a member '
of the Kingstree bar. The key-note
of his remarks was the duty of the 1
parent in regard to preparing his J
child for future life. Mr Hinds told 1
his hearers further that there was a
great cloud of illiteracy overshadow- '
ing our beloved State,despite the gal- '
lant work our schools were doing:,and j(
that if these conditions were to be *
stamped out it was necessary for |?
every man and woman to rise up and '
champion the cause of education,thus 1
tp push this work with greater effort 1
in the future than had been done in
the past. 1
The following teachers have been 1
elected for next session: R N Speig- '
ner, superintendent; Miss Elise Rol- 1
lins, principal; Miss Louise Wilson, 1
music; and Misses Speigner, Owens !
and Jenkinson, grammar school.

Owing to the war, the price of 1
white lead and linseed oil is higher 1
than it has ever been in the history
of this country. 1

Pennsylvania last year grew pota- j
toes on 265,200 acres and got an average
of 70 bushels to the acre.com- 1
pared with 96 bushels in 1915.

The expression, "Dirt cheap," 1
must be discarded. Blame the war.
Winnipeg, Manitoba, florists have
announced an increase in the price
of earth sold for potting flowers. A j
year ago it sold for 50 cents a bush- (
el. Now it costs 25 cents a pail. ;
Cash System Best. / <
Going in debt is one of the causes t
of the higt cost of living in America,
hence the cash system is best. ,
The average American will buy (
anything he can go in debt for,while t
the average foreigner in the United j
States will buy absolutely nothing (
which he cannot pay for at the time
of purchase.
Comparatively few of us give
much thought to the advantages to f
be derived from a cash system of <
trading. "I've got to have it" satis- t
fiop tia ojKion ujo cuant anmpfhintr nn <
matter what. But if we could not (
get it until the money was forthcom- t
ing.we would realize that we did not c
really have to have it. t
If the purchaser would borrow t
from the bank and pay cash for his ]
commodities?if he must go in debt
?he would find a great decrease in J
the expense account, and at the end 1
of the year he would,after paying interest
to the bank.find a balance on
his side of the ledger. .
j i
A firm once had printed a card,I<
which was placed in the envelope i I
with the monthly statement sent to ;J
debtors, which was as follows:
"Please helD Bill! If you will;,
promptly pay this bill,then I can pay
Bill the bill I owe him; for Bill says '1
he can't pay his bills until he hears '
from me." j
There is the whole thing; in a nutshell,
and proves beyond the shadow !
of a doubt the truth of our statement:
"Cash System Best."?Ex.

Substitutes for Rubber Tires.
Rubber being scarce in Germany
now, a number of bicycle tires made
of substitutes for rubber are reported
to have appeared on the German
market, says the June Popular Mechanics
Magazine. First came a tire
made of steel wire about 3-16 of an
inch thick, closely coiled, with end9
welded together. This was highpriced,
damaged pavements, and
rattled in use. Then came three different
types of wooden tires, the
cheapest being made of a single
piece of wood,while others are made
af wooden sections. Another type
af wood tire has the outer surface
covered with a leather strip. Steel
springs are used with all the wooden
tires, either in forks or between tire
and rim, which adds considerably to
their cost. Tires covered with leather
or with canvas, instead of rubber,
are also on the market. But the best
substitute for the rubber tire has an
juter tube of prepared canvas, and
a cloth-wound inner tube filled with
a solid preparation resembling rubber,
that is said to be quite elastic.
Save Crimson Clover.
The value of crimson clover as a
soil improving crop can not be overestimated,and
its utilization for this
Durpose should be greatly increased
;his year in view of the effect it will
lave on the following crops. The
field of corn is often increased as
nuch as ten bushels per acre followng
crimson clover, and other crops
n proportion.
It is very probable that there will
je a shortage of crimson clover seed
this year, due to the fact that much
)f the seed that is sown in this coun;ry
is imported from Europe. The
lupply from this source will be greats'
reduced this year, therefore, we
will have to save our seed to meet
;his shortage.
Crimson clover seed may be harvested
with home-made comb stripoers
as described in farmers' bulletin,
Nn 646,United States department of
agriculture. These strippers do very
?ood work, and, with the type which
is hung to the axle of a buggy or
wagon,about two acres may be harvested
per day, producing sufficient
seed to sow eight to ten acres. Where
the land is too rough for a stripper
)f this type.thesmall strippers which
are operated by hand are to be pre
Ferred.
In view of the high price of staple
Food products and the effect of crimson
clover upon the yield of these
products.it is very essential that ev?ry
farmer should exert himself to
save his crimson clover seed, so that
the acreage can be increased rather
:han decreased next fall.
Muscle Soreness Relieved.
Unusual work, bending and liftng
or strenuous exercise is a strain
in the muscles, they become sore
ind stiff, you are crippled and in
pain. Sloan's Liniment brings you
juick relief, easy to apply, it penerates
without rubbing and drives
nit the soreness. A clear liquid,
leaner than mussy plasters or ointnents,
it does not stain the skin or
dog the pores. Always have a botle
handy for the pains and aches of
heuniatism, gout, lumbago, grippe,
iruises, stiffness, backache and all
ixternal pain. At your druggist, 2oc.
