"SPRING MAID REVUE"
(Bp the Ad Nam

Where are you going my pretty
maid?"
'To the Ladies' Quitting Com
pany, Sir" she said.
And she went-they all did, and
lots Of men folks too. to see the
big fashion event. Everybody was
happy and i'll a good humor, probably
Manager John d. Lennon and his
capable cO-worker. Mrs. l.. Atkinson,
being just little bit happier than
anyone else, owing to success of their
undertaking. And it was a big sue
cess, there's no doubt of that One
had only to listen to the countless ex-
pressions, such as "Oh, how prec-
ious, too cute for anything" (but
me) darling" dear" and few more
like numbers to realize that the fair
sex were simply "tickled to death"
over the things they saw at the big
fashion show last night Well, who
wouldn't be tickled with the new
spring headgear. And the idea Of
Manager Lennon in having living
models-it was great, sure. Didn't
they look pretty, though, kind Of
made the Fishers on the maga-
zine backs look pale in comparison,
eh? Well, they certainly were beau
tiful costumes and-pardon the levity,
nifty lids" The spring apparel in
the dress line is "all new" this year.
OF course the bodices have the usual
'frilly frilly' appearance with very
low w. but the skirts are mostly
flounced, most Of them with two or
three circles of frills. And the hats
we'll you saw chem, so Of course you
know how they look, low crowns,
mostly, with the proper decorations
around the briIn, and some Of them
have extremely long wavy plumes to
give the "'piquant touch" Yes, even
to the folks who weren't educated in
to the mysteries OF feminine styles
the fashion display last night, en-
hGnced by the appearance Of the
beautiful living models, presented a
spectacles we'll worth viewing, and
Manager Lennon should feel we'll
pleased with the big hit his opening
made.
During the evening delightful mu-
by the Sumter Victrola Company, and
this was 4 part OF the program much
enjoyed.
Then, of course the refreshments
must not be forgotten. Those folks
who doubt just how good coffee and
tea can be, had those doubts all dis
PEELED when they had a "helpin' of
Chase and Sanbourns' from the
charming little Japanese maiden in
attendance at the refreshment booth.
BESIDES the refreshments, Messrs.
Levy and Moses, the pure food gro
GERS, gave away dainty souvenirs,
fans and Jap dolls. Their exhibit
was in charge of Messrs. Julian and
Waverly Levy and +. O. Lawson, OF
the company, and Miss Bowen.
The entire store Of the Ladies' Out
fitting Company was appropriately
decorated for the occasion, and
especially attractive was the apple
Blossom window, which bctokcned
the annual arrival of the Spring
Maid.

STUCKEY BILL NOT NECESSARY
Board CT Control Applying Rigorou.
Tests for Inferior Materials.

NIeiiSOn COlloSe, MarcI 1l.-Inat
the "Stuckey Bill" which sought to
prevent thc use OF inferior materials
III the manufacture of fertilizers, was
unnecessary is the statement Of H. NJ.
Stackhouse, secretary of the State
Board Of Fertilizer Control. Mr..
Stackhouse said, speaking Of the
bill, that the board two years ago
anticipated the need Of such protec-
ton to buyers and required an avail
ability of new ammoniate materials
. about equal to cotton seed meal,
blood, fish, etc. Mr.. Stackhouse said
that the board was already doing
what the "Stuckey Bill would have
required and was doing it in a more
economical and practical way.
"As the use and sale of commercial
| fertilizers grew" continued Mr.
Stackhousc, the supply of these am
noniates would not meet the de-
mand, except at prohioitive prices,
and manufacturers began to introduce
and to use some that were consider
ed inferior and Objectionable. In
der the general name Of tankage,' q
alaughter-house by-product Of tried
and well recognized agricultural val
uc, they began to use any tank-ren-
dered nitroSenOus material.
THE chemists Of this and other
stations tells us that some of these
products can be treated with sulphur
&c acid and made soluble ammoniates
just as ground phosphate rock so
treated becomes soluble acid phos-
ph2te; and some experiments in tho
field at the South Carolina Expert
ment Station here gave satisfactory
results. But the Board OF Control
served notice on manufacturers who
offered for sale in this State such
materials that they must explicitly
register such use accompanied by q
certificate Of analysis by some repu-
table chemist that they had the re-
quired availability as plant-food. The
laboratory at Clemson College then
tests all mixed fertilizers for the
standard required and "blacklists
and publishes for the information OF
buyers any fertilizers found below
standard.
"These new ammoniatcs cost less to
the manufacturers, who should be
willing to share this difference with
the consumers, and this fact is lead
ing to much OF the agitation in favor
Of home mixing. To meet this de-
mand, the department has issued two
bulletins giving instructions and all
sorts o. formulas for mixing at home,
which may be had on application to
Clemson College"
Mr.. Stackhouse also stated that the
inspectors are required to weigh
packages Of fertilizers which they in
spect, especially all that have the
appearance or ere suspcctec of
weight below that branded on the
packages. Only one such shipnlent
50 far, of twelve tons, has been re-
ported this season, which when
weighed out by the inspector was
found short 2,344 pounds. Upon re.
quest the manufacturer promptly ad-
iusted and made restitution to the
buyer. as provided by law. Farmers.
sad Mr.. StackhouSe, may rest secure
ly in the knowledge that the board is
protecting them from fraud OF every
sort in the purchase OF fertilizers.

POWER FOR PEACE

While we speak of the horrors of
War, are we really profting by this
awful lessoni 1t is said that for
twenty years in Germany and
France this outbreak has been .
subject Of the school room training.
Many of those young men fighting
have been under rigid course of
training throughout the whole
school life. Imbued with this
thought, a part of their very ma
ture, makes the War as only the
natural outcome for which their
life has been trained.
There is an idea here that can
be made tell as strongly for peace.
Our teachers in Public Schools,
can so inspire the idea Of Peace in
the minds of the children that
would perhaps bring out the Reign
of Reason in few years. By
study of History and it's Wars and
the efficiency of Hague Tribunals,
the teachers of our schools and col
leges could in few years make
war impossible.

Scarlet Clover

Every farmer in Delaware who
has land that will grow scarlet
clover, and all have that kind Of
land, has an opportunity to get the
benefit Of higher prices which will
follow the great war now raging
in Europe. The scarlet clover seed
Of Germany has dominated the
market price of that kind of seed
in the United States for many years
past, but for the next TWO or three
years that source or competition
will be cut off, and the farmers of
Delaware especially must meet
their opportunity by sowing largely
of scarlet clover, even if the price
for the seed shall be outrageously
high. When the crop of 1915 is
ready to mature, the greater part
should be saved for seed purposes,
and Delaware will be in position to
supply the markets Of the United
States at profitable prices to the
grower, and at the same time ben
eft the land. Now is the time to
SOW scarlet clover seea, and the
farmer who has any enterprise or
is awake to the future of his busi-
ness, will SOW every acre possible
In this crop for money crop in
1915. Remember this is a fact
which can not be controverted by
any argument.
