Fascinating boudoir caps are made
by crocheting heavy silk thread in an
open design. They are shaped like
the caps made for infants, and fin
ished with crocheted shell or seal
lops about the edge. Ribbon Is run
In them about the face and across the
back. 1t fits the cap to the head and
decorates 1t at the same time.
Crocheted hats are made Of silk
fiber, chenille, or wool, and are very
smart for motor wear for travelling,
and for the street. Fine wire is used
in shaping them, and they are made
by professional workwomen who un-
derstand how to conceal the wire in
the crOcheted stitches.

Printing Plant Idea Abandoned.

constitutional inhibition which
would prevent the establishment and
operation Of state printery was
brought to light at meeting Of the
printing Investigating committee OF
bly,. The constitution requires that all
public printing shall be let on con.
tract, in such manner as shall be pre-.
scribed by law. Provision for the
public printing is made in article II,
section S, of the constitution Of South
Carolina Of 1895 and reads:
"The printing of the laws, journals,
bills, legislative documents and pa.
pers for each branch Of the genera!
assembly, with the printing required
for the executive and other depart,
ments of the state, shall be let, on
contract, in such manner as shall be
prescribed by law"
Another adverse argument intro
duced at the meeting was the extraor
dinary expense that would be incurred
in equipping such plant Estimates
were procured for the necessary ma
chinery and other equipment, the esti
mates ranging around 100000.
The idea Of establishing state
printing shop has been agitated with
some degree Of enthusiasm, with the
vie wof curtailing expenses in the
public printing bills. The annual cost
to the state for this in 1914, with the
extra session of the legislature in
cluded, approxima.ad $4,000.

BIG QUESTION FOR THE FARMERS
TO STUDY.-HEAvY ANNUAL
LOSS.
DISPATCHES FROM COLUMBIA
poings and happenings That Mark
the Progress Of South Carolina Peo.
pie, Gathered Around tho state
Capitol.
Columbia.

Is the title of a large four page cir
cular being distributed by the United
, States department of agriculture. Ar
>gument is laid out to prove the an
nual loss Of $50,OOO,O0O to cattle
&Sowers in this country by the general
prevalence Of the tick. Not only are
the cattle stunted or scrubbed" by
the loss Of blood to this parasite, but
the tick Is the purveyor of cattle
fever, through the ravages of which
dread disease thousands Of head Of
cattle are lost annually.
Another source of loss is the costly
quarantine which must be enforced
against tick cattle. Cattle can not
be shipped from tick infected terri
tory, and the necessity of butchering
on the home market reduces the value
from one-half to one cent pound,
or from SIS to $40 head. This cir
cular should prove Of unusual interest
to South Carolina farmers just now,
in that unusual activity is being man
ifested in the introduction Of pure
bred cattle from the west.
The remedy Is the arsenical bath to
whicn the infested cattle are sub
jected Dipping vats are built, and
the value Of the cattle is increased
from IS to $40 head after q few
swims have been taken through the
liquid. This work has been in pro-
gress in South Carolina several years,
and already a large proportion of the
counties have been released by the
government as tick free territory.
Field agents plan to complete the
work in this state within the next
two years. An appropriation of $780,
900 was provided by the last legisla-
ture to supplement funds from the
national government. One-third Of the
infested area in the south has already
been cleared.
Ticks also cause excessive reduction
permanently injured by the perfora-
tions. The average cost to eradicate
the ticks is about SO cents for each
head of cattle
