8HAKE8PERIAN PAGEANT.
Columbia, April 11.?In celebra?
tion of the Tercentenary of the death
of William Shakespere, the University
of South Carolina is preparing to
present on its campus and at the Co?
lumbia theatre an enormous pageant,
April 25, 1916, in which it is estimat?
ed that 2,000 people will take part
land 5,000 more witness. Cooperating
with the University in the presenta?
tion are Chicora College for Women,
j Columbia College, and the city schools,
both public and private.
The first part of the pageant in
the afternoon on the University cam?
pus will present a typical May Day
I scene on the outskirts of London in
I the time of Queen Elisabeth. Ming?
ling with merrymakers in their an?
cient English sports will be the great
queen and her retinue, the May Queen
and her court, dignified represnta
tives of the great trade guilds of
London, Robin Hood and his Merry
Men, and a small group of the liter?
ary celebrities of the day among
whom will be Shakespere himself.
These gaily costumed figures will
form a back-ground for the dramatic
climax of the presentation; crowning
of Shakespere as the monarch of the
realm of imagination by the symbolic
figure of Fame. The night perform?
ance will be a masque, largely com?
posed of famous scenes from Shakes
pore's plays, and brought to a climax
with the appearance of the Spirit of
1916, bringing the tribute of the prss
J ent day world to the feet of the Avon
Bard. ,
. .The audience from out of the city
I is expected to be large. Special rates
.will probably be offered by the rail
.roads. 'The pageant is being directed
jby Miss Sarah Spenser of Winthrop
College, who was very successful in
.directing ths Queen Elizabeth pag?
eant in Winthrop two years ago.

Plant Corn for Silos Now. -
Judging by the number of in?
quiries reaching the Extension Di?
vision at Clemson College, there Is
greater interest in the construction
of silos this year than in any pre?
vious year. Seventy-three silos were
built in the state in 1915.
.Present Indications are that this
number will be doubled in 1916. A
large number of the ? silos built this
year will be-of concrete. The farm?
ers are learning that this is the
cheapest silo in ths long run.
A common mistake among the
stockmen who have ' built silos In
this State in past. years has. been
failure to "* plant sufficient wrn to
rtil the ailos. Out of the seventy -;
three silos built last year, not more
than a dozen were entirely filed the]
first year. Farmers contemplating,
ths construction of a silo should
begin now to plant corn with which
to fill ths silo. Corn and sorghum
Ars the best silage crops and sor?
ghum should be used only where
sufficient corn cannot be provided.
: Any farmer who will write to the
Extension Diviston, Clemson Col?
lege, can get a bulletin giving di?
rections for planting, working and
cutting corn and other crops for ths
silo and a full f?ll of - materials and
building instructions for a concrete
or stave silo.

THE body design of this new Overland
carries out the latest streamline design.
The equipment compares with that of cars very
much higher in price. At the same time it is a
low priced car that costs very little to run. It
is equipped with the Autolite two-unit starting
and lighting system. Its rear springs are the
famous cantilever type, probably the easiest
riding springs ever designed. It has four-inch
tires all around; non-skids on rear. Demount?
able rims are used and one extra rim is included*
There is a magnetic speedometer and a full set
of tools. It is not only a thoroughly high grade
car, but carries with it a completeness of equip*
ment unheard of in cars of this price.
