NEW YEAR CARDS
AND CALENDARS

w nth the New Year gradual
AA/ ly dawning we must not be
caught u~uprepared to greet
1t. Good wishes for the rel
fare of our friends during the coming
year must be conveyed by some
means or other. Very few people are
fortunate enough to have their friends
living near. that they may extend YER
bally their wishes for the new year
The next best medium for this pur-
pose ia the New Years card. OF
course these cards may be purchased
at the shops, but it is very much
nicer to be original.
1t Ia rather an expensive PROPOSE
ton to buy these cards from artists If
the friends happen to be numerous.
Why not make them yourself?
Here are given a few designs to be
used for New Years calendars. They
are pretty and dainty, much more at

SCALES ON BABY'S HEAL

$40 East Washington St, Portland,
Ore.-When my brother was one
month old a layer OF scales or scabs
began to form on the top of his head.
The trouble began as a rash The
scales increased until several layers
thick. The crust was thick and yellow
and looked to be all in one piece, but
came of in large scales. His hair
came out in punches and baby became
almost bald. His scalp itched and
burned so badly as TO make him cross
and fretful.
We used every remedy recommend
ed by our friends without access
Then we started with the sample OF

IL seems that the teachers are
working In hard luck these days.
Every meeting which has been held
'his year has some how or other
been on day when the weather was
extremely inclement. Saturday was
no exception To this rule. Indeed
the weather was SO bad that there
was no meeting at all. Not even any
OF the city teachers attended the
meeting and the fire that the janitor
made was not needed after all. except
possibly to keep the water pipes
from freezing. The speaker who was

CLOTHED IN ERMINE GOWN.
Gamecock City Wrapped I'm Beautiful
Gown OF White - Snow Storm
Heavier Now Than Since 1895.

From the Daily Item. Jan. IS.
This morning the people Of the
Gamecock city awoke to find that
during the early hours before dawn
the city had been wrapped in beau
tiful gown of ermine. And they also
found that the weaving OF the gown
was still going on. for Mother Goose
still had her shuttle at work and was
rapidly working away at the gown
which would hide all of the baroness
and deformities of Mother Earth
when she was held In the grasp of
King Winter.
The snow commenced about half
past four o'clock this morning and
was still falling when the townspeople
began moving around and thinking
Of getting breakfast and going out to
their respective places of business. Up
10 about o'clock the flakes were fine
and drifting. almost like sleet, but
then they became larger and con-
tinued thus until l o'clock, the time
this was written.
IL Is the first time in four or five
years that the people of Sum
ter have had real "old fashioned"
snow storm and up 10 one o'clock the
snow was between six and seven in
ches deep in open places where there
was no chance of drifts. The storm is
the heaviest fall of snow which Sum
ter has experienced since the big
snow storm of 1895. when for two
weeks the whole town and county
was clothed in shroud Of white. The
snow was still falling at one O'Clock
with no signs of abatement, and if the
weather reports are correct, will con-
tinue through the day and night.
making II one of the heaviest falls of
snow which this section of the coun-
try has ever experienced.
. The children--and some of the old
er folks too-were enjoying them
selves to the fullest today playing in
the snow and snowballing each other
and other people out on the street.
They did not seem in the least to
mind the falling snow. but rather
that seemed to add to their enjoy
ment. 1t is the first time that many
OF them had seen any large amount
OF snow and they made the most Of
their opportunity.

his salary. A large contract for side
walks was to be let. Every bid was
50 nigh that it was determined to
build these sidewalks under the gem
eral supervision of the city manager
and the WORK was done at one-haIf
the cost of the lowest bid. This man
ager devotes his entire time to the
city and is employed by the coun-
ell. In other words he occupies
similar position to the citizens that
the manager Of manufacturing plant
holds in relation to the stockholders
thereof and the council is the
board of directors.
The Sumter plan contemplates the
combination of the best of these two
forms, a commission consisting of
three members, a mayor and two
councllmen elected to hold Office for
six years, one being elected every two
years, and the city manager to be en-
ployed by this commission. Bv this
method the city secures a systematic.
business administration at a compara-
lively low cost The members of the
commission are paid nominal salaries
for their time and city manager is
secured who is required to devote his
entire time to city affairs To him
Will go all complaints and petitions
for improved service. THE Ameri-
can City" writes of this plan: 1--WE
are very much Interested in what YOU
say regarding the proposed new plan
for Sumter. There are indications of
an increasing tendency toward some
such plan as you propose for smaller
cities, and we believe Sumter would
be doing very enterprising thing to
adopt such a charter"
AS this plan adopts the referen-
dunn, initiative and recall; the people
are granted complete power to con-
troll the actions of the commission, to
demand that any ordinance or fran
chise be referred to them for final ac-
ton, to initiate any legislation or to re-
call any official by majority vote.

CLEMSON COLLEGE, LETTER.
Good Results Accrue from Combina.
ton OF Demonstration and Exteli-
sion Work.

Clemson, Jan. 15.-The combina-
ton Of the Farmers Cooperative
Demonstration work in South Caro-
lima with the division Of the Exten-
sion work and Farmers Institutes Of
Clemson College which has just been
effected will be of vital interest to the
farmers of the State. 1t is expected
by the promoters of the movement
that it will result in more efficient
help being given the farmers by both
the college and experiment station
here and the Demonstration workers.
DIR. Riggs, our president, went to
Washington about the last of Decem-
ber to confer with Mr.. Bradford
Knapp; and, as a result of this con-
ference, an understanding was reach
ed and later approved by the board Of
trustees.
Under this arrangement, Mr..
Knapp, the special agent of the Uni
ted States Department Of Agriculture,
and the college. jointly select and pay
the salary of an officer who combines
the functions Of the State agent and
the superintendent Of the extension
division of the college. This officer
will have his home at the college and
will be a member of the Agricultural
faculty. OF necessity, he must be a
man OF scientific attainments as well
as man of ability and experience in
demonstration work. This officer will
be selected as soon as the proper
man can be found and agreed upon.
When vacancies occur in the force
of district and local agents. these po-
sitions will be filled by men mutual
ly satisfactory to both parties. This
| arrangement combines the extension
work of the college with the demon
Stration forces. Also, the agricultu-
raj department and the South Caro-
| lima experiment station are behind
the work to give it assistance. The
'p'"i agents VIII nave the help and
advice of the extension experts. and
these agents will have in turn the as
sistance Of the local agents in push
ing their respective lines OF work. The
college has much to gain by the com
| bination. With an agent Of the col
lege In every county to help along the
| lines OF public service I'm which the
college Is engaging, the usefulness of
| Clemson to the people will be greatly
multiplied. For example. the local
agents can keep the college entomolo-
gists posted on the appearance OF in
] sect pests In their counties. and can
report the appearance and ctxent of
cotton wilt, anthracnose, and other
plant diseases to the botanists. These
local agents can also notify the col
icge veterinarians promptly Of any
outbreaks Of contagious diseases
