DON'T HARVEST YOUR
WHEAT TOO EAME

Clemson College, May 23.-Owing %
high prices of -four it may be the
tendency OF many farmers to haETese
their wheat crop too early. In some
sections of the State the crop IS
promising, but to harvest before tha
berry has had time to mature Wouio
mean a big loss to the farmers. Great
care should be exercised i, harvesting
wheat TO get the largest yields and
g-a;n that will make the best 2raaa
OF -four.
Wheat should be harvested when
the grain is in the dough stage. AZ
this stage the berries can be indenteG
with the finger nails. but they are
not milky. Harvesting at this stage
insures the largest yields. If harvest
ing is begun before the grain is IN
the dough stage there will be a con-
siderable loss due to shrinkage, ara
in the poor quality Of -four milled

ferred until the grain is dead riQs

trary, one seems to see more and
more of it every day. On dress that
could not possibly be too warm for
summer, 1t was combined with dotted
crepe in the following manner: Pink
crepe with white polka dots made the
waist and sleeves; the waist extended
down to the hip line, and from there
downward the skirt was Of white wool
jersey. There was small yoke Of the
white jersey at the neck of the dress.
This is one Of the novel ways in which
this popular material is used.
Gold silk jersey has been combined
most successfully with gray wool jer-
sey In some suits and dresses, and
with dark tan wool jersey in others.
This combination Of silk and wool jer
sey Is frequently used by the best
dressmakers. In some loose fitting
suits, with knee length coats, the silk
is used for the sleeves, sides and back
Of the coat, and the wool for bands
Gown the front and around the bottom
Of the coat, as we'll as for the skirt.
Cool Summer Foiles.
Cool and refreshing summer voiles
in dainty fowered effects are charming
for the informal cotton frocks, Of
which every woman requires several
for the distressingly hot days. Now
is the time to get them made. The
styles are generally simple. Pleated.
tucked or gathered skirts combine
with the simplest of waists having a
; little fullness at the shoulders with an
attractive collar edged with lace or
machine picot edging.
Soft pleats finished off with head
ing at the top Of the skirt are unusual
! ly pretty, as shown In the sketch. The
puffed pockets are charming novelty
especially suited to this type of sum-
1aer frock. A long collar of white Or
CANDY provides the finishing touch In
! this dainty hot weather frock.
The New Mannish Shirt Waist.
Mannish shirt waists are growing In
favor. Some models OF linen are mad
/ with finely tucked front, like those oi
mans shirt. In addition to these
tuchs, there are little sprays en-
broioered in colors on some of the
waists and turnover collars of pique
AS separtee waists and skirts grow
more and more important there are
+! always some novelties to be found
among them. White tub skirts Of cot
ton gabardine are made with yokes o.
colored linen, and where the skirt II
attached to the yoke there are severa
rows Of machine stitching done II
heavy colored cotton the color Of the
yoke.

MUST NOT HIDE
BEHIND SkIRTS

Washington, May 22.-"Do not hide
behind petticoats or children to avoid
service in the new national army" Is
the injunction Of Provost Marshal
General Crowder in an official guide
he has issued to show how questions
put to those who register on June .
should be answered.
The guide explains that there is no
desire by the government to draft any
one who is the sole support of any
man, woman or child, but points out
that "unless the person YOU have In
mind Is solely dependent on you." ex-
emption would not be granted.
The registrar will drop permanent
ly from the list those whose physical
defects make unftness for service OBJ
yious but all other claims for ex-
emption will be required to state spe-
cifca1ly the character Of the work he
is performing In order that the board
may Judge il it is such as to warrant
the government in excusing him from
army duty.

The announcement that GreenvilIe has

that for an indefinite t1ni..
It is estimated that the monthly
pay roll of the camp will be In the
neighborhood of a million and a half
dollars, a great deal Of which will be
expended in Greenville.
No date has yet been announced as
to the mobilization of soldiers at the
camp here. but it will probably be

Unbalanced. Not SeditiOuS

The daily papers Tuesday contain
ed an item from Butte, Mont,
stating that Herman Crowl, a Span
ish-American war veteran, had
been arrested near Belgrade in that
state charged with sedition. He
was said to have justified the sink
ing of the Lusitania, and to have
expressed pro-German sentiments.
Many Of our Milbank people will
remember Mr.. .Crowl, and those who
do will probably understand some
thing of the situation, though he
has not been here for a number of
years. He was for some time in the
Minnesota hospital for insane, and
was not altogether right mentally
at times when here. While it may
be necessary for the federal author
tiles to care for him, it should be
done along the lines Of his mentali-
ty rather than on a charge of Sc
dition.
