presented the subject of Commercial
Fertilizer" recommending that for
potash organic matter be placed in

stables on rented farms; he also de-
scribed the arrangement of his COW
stables, with 80 inch pit directly be-
hind cows, covered with wooden Stats
which keeps his cows clean and sani-
tary. A gasoline engine is used to
scrape manure from this pit directly
into manure spreader. Feeding ar
angements are such that one man can
feed silage to 80 cows in three minutes
and both silage and grain to this
same number of cows in nine minutes.

HOME ECONOMICS
Home Decorations and Balanced
Rations" Subjects of Lecture on
Last Days of School-Largest At
tendance Sixty ty-three.
Continued from last week

The lesson on Thursday morning
was given to the preparation OF vege-
tables, the principles being given and
demonstrated with a number of vege-
tables, especially the potato in a
variety OF ways. The afternoon was
given largely to salads, four kinds Of
sa ads being prepared and served to
the pupils. Then followed an address
on Food Standards.
The leading thought was that all
must have ideals they wish to attain
If any progress is made.
On Friday morning Miss Sharples
gave fine address on Home Furnish
Ings. She said we should aim to
please but not to dazzle. There are
few principles that should be follow
ed:
1. Line. Slanting rugs do not sug-
gest repose; pictures should be hung
lat against the wall; window frames
should be parallel to the edge of teh
walls; table covers should be parallel
to the edge of the table.
2. Proportions are followed in ma
ture and should be in architecture;
Houses should not be top heavy, the
rooms should have proper proportions
and the furniture should be in pro-
portion to the room.
3. Color. A test of civilization.
Savaggs choose the bright primary
colorsl We should choose neutral
tintsI making one dominant, and an
other subordinant. Bright colors eff
feet the nerves. Blue is a cold color
and should not be used in a north
room. Yellow and red are warm col
ors but red makes a room look small
er. Green is the most restful color
and is used as the foundation color in
nature.
The best way to follow nature in
which the ground is dark, the trees
light, and the sky light. Most rooms
are overcrowded as people do not. have
courage enough to remove supervisors
articles, especially if they are gifts.
The only use for gilt furniture is
to hasten the departure of guests.
Valuable advice was given on floor
coverings. Samples were shown show
ing the color effect and weaves of
body and tapestry Brussels carpet, al
so Administer, Wilten and Ingram
showing advantage and disadvantages
of each. Body Brussels and Wiltens
were most highly recommended and
the audience were advised to buy good
rugs even if part of the floors must
90 bare. A number of samples Of
wall paper and draperies were showr
and their merits for an artistic stand
point discussed.
Balanced Rations was the subjec

" Tunnel @EEi 4


Cleveland, July 25.-Federal Off
Gals investigating the waterWorks
tunnel disaster which cost - lives
late today ordered all attempts to
reach the bodies of Y men in the
tunnel abandoned until tomorrow
Tests of the gas in the tunnel showed
that it was highly explosive and the
officials feared second explosion
An attempt will be made to pump oul
the gas so that the work of recovering
the bodies may progress.
All hopes that any of IL men trap
ped in the tunnel were alive was
abandoned today. Ten bodies, those
of members of two rescue parties
which tried to reach the doomed men
but themselves succumbed to the
deadly gas, were recovered today.
Eight injured men, also members OF
the rescue parties, will recover.
Four investigations, city, county,
State and federal, will be started to-
morrow to determine the cause of the
explosion.
The egorts of Gustav c. Van Duzen.
superintendent of .waterworks con-
struction, and the members of the two
rescue parties to reach the men i'm
prisoned without gas helmets or pull
moters increased the death list
This afternoon the third rescue party
equipped with the safety devices en-
tered the tunnel and recovered the
rescurers, two of whom were dead.
Van Duzen was among the rescuers
revived.
Headed by D. J. Parker and L. M.
Jones of the United States bureau OF
mines, who arrived here from Pitts
burgh with the mine rescue car, the
third party of rescuers penetrated 2Ot
feet into the wrecked tunnel from
the crib end They could see at the
far end of the tunnel that large
caVein had occurred. but did not make
a complete investigation
According to the federal investiga-
tors, tine electric wiring in the tun-
mel was faulty. After they had en-
tered the tunnel with the rescue party
they ordered the electric power shu,
off. They would not venture an opin
ion as to the cause of the explosion,
but most of those concerned with the
disaster believe that one of the un-
fortunate men probably plunged his
pick into large pocket Of gas which
caused the explosion. Others believe
a crossed light wire caused the dis
aster.

Section OF the State. Recently Ne
have had specimens OF diseased plants
sent in from Honea Path, Anderson,
Greenv ood, Silver Street and Wal1al-
la. Wilt seems now to occur on the
majority Of farms in the coastal plain.
Cotton wilt IS recognized by black
ened tissues found on the inside OF
the willing or the dead plants. Where
cotton is dying split the stem open
and if there are dark streaks in the
wood or just beneath the bark, the
disease is wilt.
The fungus which causes cotton
wilt will live in the soil indefinitely
and anything which carries soil from
the infected areas to other parts Of
the farm will spread the disease.
Plows and other implements used in
plowing field where the disease oc-
ours should be thoroughly cleaned be-
fore carrying them to field where
the disease does not occur. The
disease might also be rried in
drainage water.
If wilt is occurring for the first
time on your farm and is confined tG
small areas, pull up and destroy the
diseased plants. Guard against it's
further spread by making sure that
no sill or drainage water is carried
from the diseased areas to other parts
OF the farm. If you want to plant
cotton back on land where the dis
