NOT WORTH THE DIFFERENCE

The story is told of a negro who
wished TO get married, asking his
employer to secure the necessary
marriage license. By some misun-
derstanding the employer secured
the license for the marriage to the
wrong woman. When the papers
were delivered and read to the de-
lighted groom-to-be, puzzled and
astonishsd expression crept over his
countenance: "Cap. what wuz dat in
dar bout Euphemine Wilson,"
'It says John Wilson and .Euphe-
mie Wilson are to be married." his
employer explained. ....rt.- j..
"But, Cap, Euphemie amt de
oman I wanted to marry. Me an her

"Oh, WELL" replied the amused
employer, "this license cost So. You
can get another to marry Georgiana,
but it will cost you another 81, and
I'll get it for you when I 60 to town
tomorrow" The next morning OHM
stood at the front gate as his employ
er was about to start to town.

tone, "You neen' to min bout

helping people to transfer from box
gums to frame hives. One Of the
agents wrote, "Great has been the
destruction Of box gums last week."
When they are in box hives the
bees cannot be examined; space can
not be increased, foundation cannot
be given, comb cannot be straight
ened, they cannot be. requeened,
they cannot be ventilated, and honey
cannot be taken in any profitable
way. Beekeepers are therefore urg-
ed to continue as rapidly as possible
the transferring from the box gums
to the ten-frame hives. The ten
frame hives may be purchased while
some prefer to make them out Of
well seasoned lumber. When these
hives are made it must not be forgot
ten that they should be the standard
ten-frame dimensions both in the
brood chamber and in the super, so
that in the future any hive body and
any frame may be interchanged with
every other hive body or by measur-
ing a standard ten-frame hive in your
neighberiiood or by writing to the
Extension Service for dimensions.
Get ready for the requeening cam
paign in July. We are going to con-
vert our black or italian half breeds
into good Italian colony to pro
duce a strong colony for wintering
and at the same time furnish a young
breed viriie for the spring drive.
Remember it takes population in
the colonies to gather the honey and
this is what is lacking in most cases
because of the poor hive conditions
and insufficient queen power.

TO TEACH AGRICULTURE.

Fort Mill, May 23.-At.a meeting
of the board Of trustees Of Fort Mill
school district last night, it was de.
,cided to add an agricultural course
which will be in charge of'an expert
who will give his entire time to the
work at salary Of sl,500 per year.
The meeting was attended by John
R. Carroll, county superintendent Of
education, and Prof. J. R. Peterson
of Clemson College, the. latter pre-
senting the proposition for shte. con-
sideration of the board. The, school
board is considering also the a.
doption of a domestic science course
and has already the beginning Of a
manual training school.

BEEKEEPING NOTES.

Clemson College, May 28.-The
principal complaint reaching the bee
keeping specialist at this time is in
reference to the excessive swarming.
Swarming is mainly due to a crowd
ed condition of the hive, and when
the bees are in box gums there is
nothing one can do except to let
them swarm and hive them accord
ing to any one of the old and an
tiquated methods. The chief work
of the beekeeping specialist during
the entire spring has consisted in

surplus animals for sale have found
italmost impossible to dispose OF
them and are discouraged and feel
that there is no market for their
hogs and no future for the business.
This is mistake, TO rthere are

United States to which we can ship,
and prices are as high as .Iat any
time in the history Of > the country.
However, to realize the greatest net
returns it is necessary to ship in

this section are prepared to do.

JUST WHAT BOY
SCOUT WEEK IS

The Boy Scout Movement has CIV
en- organized boyhood a place along
side of the Red Cross and other great
organizations as National institu.
ton. In order to extend its benefits
more rapidly to the millions Of Am
erican boys who, because Of lack Of
volunteer leadership, are still with
out the training of the Boy Scout
program, Hon. W. G. McAdoo and
eminent gentlemen he has associated
with himself as member of the Citi-
zens' National Committee, working
in cooperation with the National
Council of the Boy Scouts of Ameri-
ca, pursuant to a proclamation by
the President of the United States,
have formulated program for a
nationwide Boy Scout Week begin
ming Sunday, June 9th, and eontinu-
ing through to Flag Day, June 18th.
This will be the first nationwide
appeal on a comprehensive plan for
the support of the Boy Scout move
ment. Scouting has been developed
and operated for the last nine years
practically on a selfsupporting basis.
Income from registrations, supplies,
and so forth, have about covered
running expenses. Field and extern
sion work alone have been depend
ent upon volunteer contributions.
Become Member Yourself
The first objective of this cam
paign is to secure 100000 Associ-
ate Members of the National Coun-
Gil, Boy Scouts of America as an as
surance of enlarged usefulness. "
This Associate Membership is Of
fered to mother and fathers of Am
erican, boys and other adult Ameri-
can citizens upon payment of $1.00
or more. as membership dues; in eff
feet and in spirit a contribution to
the Movement, the amount to be de-
termined by each individual. The As
sociate Membership, however, is an
actual legal Identification with the
National body, without voting privil-
eges which, by the constitution and
bylaws Of the Boy Scouts cf Ameri-
ca, belong only to regularly elected
members of the National Council.
1t is expected that besides the f.
nancial support which this new mem
bership will give, the organization
many associate members will volun-
teer as scoutmasters, assistant Scout
masters, members Of troop commit
tees and member Of local councils;
and that many others will be active
in organizing new troops Of Scouts
in connection with their churches,
schools and other institutions and,

in one form or another, is very old.

Thermometer Trade to U. s.

With adequate labor American man
ufacturers of thermometers, besides
being able to supply fully the wants
of the domestic trade, are in position
to build up good export business,
but, as Is the case in SO many indus
tries, they are handicapped mt present
by the shortage of skilled workers.
The making of thermometers is mostly
a hand process, with Il years expe-
rience or more necessary for the de-
velOpment of skilled worker.
Starting in the war period, when
German goods were shut out of the
country, the American thermometer
industry has shown marked advance
ment. Before the war Germany con-
trOlled the market here as well as
those in other countries, but nearly all
of the business formerly held by Ger
many in South America has been pro-
cured by concerns in the United
States. 1t is not believed that Ger
many will regain her position In the
domestic market, and much of the
South American business, it is pre-
dicted, will be held by the American
manufacturers.-New York Tribune.

Fascinating Ukulele.

Many people, even now, may think
of the ukuleIe as Russian province,
or an eastern title, yet 1t happens to
be neither, hut small musical instru-
ment which. according to II writer In
the London Daily Chronicle. recently
baffied the experience even Of the
customs man. who refused to recog-
nize il as such and permitted its entry
into England free of duty. The little
South sea ukulele is not unlike "fid-
die that you play with your fingers"
to the eye Of the uninitiated, but all
who hear 1t admit its sweetness and
the charm of its plaintive voice. No
doubt one of these days England will
become aware of the fascination of
the ukulele, even as America has al
ready done. The customs man will
then exact his legitimate toll, and a
strange. wild music will haunt the
london streets.

Would Seem to Be His Riuht.

A suggestion has been made that if
the British flag is to be again unfurled
above HelgOland, Henry Hedger,
verger of the parish at Herne Bay,
Kent, Eng, be engaged to raise the
emblem. He 1t was who hauled down
the Union Jack August o, 1890, when
the island passed into the control Of
the German empire. He was then II
coast guardsman, and is now a Wig
orous man of between 60 and 40 years.
Mrs. Hedger recalls her four years
on the island chiefly by the birth of
their youngest son, who grew up TO
he one of the cOntemptbles, who
helped to hinder Prussia's march
through France, but fell in the at
tempt. The family left the island the
day 1t was taken out of British con-
troll, and while the pier was decorated
with flags and bunting prior 10 the
visit of the kaiser. All the British
official population left at the same
