A USEFUL INVENTION
Ridge Spring Man Secures Patent
On New Device
Editor Saluda Standard:

Editor Saluda Standard:
w. L. Durham of Ridge Spring, who
formerly resided in Anderson county and
who is yet a young married man, came
to Ridge Spring about 10 or IL years ago
to enter school. After attending one
session he liked the place so much that
ne became citizen, entered the gener-
al mercantile and hardware business,
mas made success and has proven him
sell a valuable asset to the town and
community, and is considered one of the
best and most worthy citizens: However,
1T is not of his business achievements
that wish to write, as know his mod
esty would forbid, and have mention
ed the above only as q mere introduc-
ton of the man and his invention, which
L lap link of great use and durability.
TOR which he has already been offered
a right handsome sum.
1t is patented device that he has in
vented, applied for patent, obtained
it, has had it manufactured, placed on
the market, tried out and found to be of
genuine good use.
This invention is a new and useful i'm
provement in coupling links, commonly
called lap links or lap rings, all we'll
known by farmers, mill men, teamsters
and others handling or working with
! singletrees. Of the link the following
Is description: 1t is designed in gem

OBJECT OF the invention being to provide
a coupling which, while simple of con
structlon, is of maximum strength and
durability and is adapted to be used

be devoted to cutting and burning
worthless or Seeding apple trees and
wild cherry trees and brush If this
is done along the roadways and fences
the appearance of the region will be
greatly improved.
Care should be taken TO protect pine
and other coniferous trees, and hickory
and ash should not be cut. They are
NOT favored for food either by the cat
erpillars of the gypsy moth or by those
OF the brown tail moth.
A general cleanup such as has been
mentioned will greatly assist in con.
trolling this insect. The oak is a favor
ed food of the brown tail moth and of
the gypsy moth, and wherever it is pos
sible to eliminate oaks less annoyance
from these pests will be experienced.
In cutting wood in the winter for
purposes of fuel the farmer would do
well to select and cut trees which are
favored as food by these insects. In
this way he will not only secure the
fuel which he desires, but will at the
same time decrease the food supply of
the pests mentioned.
1t is needless to say that in cutting
wood for fuel all sickly or diseased
trees should be selected. so that the
stand that remains will be healthy and
vigorous Each owner must make the
selection for himself. but a great deal
van be accomplished by planning the
work little in advance SO that the
necessary amounts of fuel can be OBJ
tanned. the preferred food plants of
these insects reduced i'm number and
the condition of the wood lot improved.
The gypsy moth occurs in the egg
stage during the winter. and much val
liable work can be done in bringing
about its control by treating the egg
masses with creosote applied with Il
brush. This destroys the eggs so that
the next brood Of eaterpilars is re-
duced
For the information of residents Of
the district infested by the gypsy moth
and the brown tail moth 1t should be
said that this area has been placed un-
der quarantine by the federal horticul-
tural board Nursery stock and living
plants cannot be shipped outside the
area unless the trees or plants have
been examined by an authorized in
spectOr.
