LIVE BOYS WORKING
FOR LIVESTOCK

Clemson College, June 6.-Mem-
bers of the boys "'ubs in South
Carolina are showing much energy
and spirit of service, and at the
same time setting a fine example for
their elders, in pushing the members
ship campaign of the State Live
stock Association.
At the annual meeting Of the State
Livestock Association in Columbia
on March /, it was decided to con-
tinue the 5000 membership cam
paign and the offer which had been
made to members of boys clubs until
July 1919. Club members are there
fore still working to secure members
at s1.0O each. For their trouble they
retain s.25 of each membership fee,
and are racing for the purebred gilt
which is to be awarded at July meet
ing of the Association to the club
member securing the largest number
of members. "More and better
livestock" is the slogan of the club
boys as we'll as the motto of the
Livestock Association.

SPRAYING TOMATOES.

Clemson College, June 6.-Al-
though all diseases of the tomato
cannot be completely controlled by
spraying, most of them can be held
m check and prevented to a large
extent by the continuous use of the
spray pump, and the tomato insect
nests can be completely controlled by
careful and regular usage of the
spray pump. The spray mixtures for
eombatting and controlling disease
md insect pests are of different
character, neitreh being effective as
= combination control and combat
ting measure when applied alone.
Bst the sprays for diseases and for
Insects may be combined and the
no given in one application. The
standard Bordeaux mixture spray is
used for tomato diseases, and arse
mite of lead is used in controlling in
srets. When combined, these two
sprays are known as Bordeaux arse
nzte, and this combination is applied
- a combination spray against both
insect and disease pests.
TIE blights and willis can only be
held in check and repelled by con-
sezut use of the spray pump and re-
napval of the plants that have been
attacked by the disease. The first
application of the Bordeaux mixture
iksuId be made just before the
Ilants begin blooming, and again
when the fruit has formed. Do not

STEAL AND WRECK CARS
YOUNG LADS TAKE CARS AND
WRECK ONE
Drive to Cashton Without Permission
of 0wners--Drink (the Usual
Cause) at the Bottom of IL

A few evenings ago, parties took a
car from Niroqua and ran it until the
gasoline tank ran dry. 1t was found
on side street.
A little later, two young men took a
car drove it to Cashton and tanked up
with a load of the stuff which made
roqua and ran it through Senator Ben
nett's premises, where it stalled and
they abandoned 1t. One received 500
and costs; the other is out on proba-
ton,
Saturday night, two youngsters took
Leonard Granum's car and started for
Cashton. On the asylum hill they tip
ped over and the car landed on the
fence, wheels in the air. 1t was al
most total wreck. The culprits were
practically unframed. They were both
bound over to the next term of the
circuit court and released on bonds.
The Censor omits the names of the
parties who performed these Disgrace
full depredations, but not through any
regard for the offenders themselves.
They have parents, relatives and
friends who are not to blame for their
lawlessness and who feel deeply hui
inflated enough without more pub
lie exposure. We trust the officers Of
the law will deal severely with them.
1t does not speak well for any COM
munity when cars are not safe on the
main street, and people who take lib
critics with other peoples property
should be made to feel the weight and
dignity of the law.

in Strewing Flowers, Speech,

No fairer skies, more fragrant
flowers, loftier purposes, more patri-

prevailed last Friday. Nature and the
Governing Power gave all that might
be desired to fittingly pay tribute to
the patriots, living and dead, of three
wars. And. too, the attendance upon
the exercises of the day has never
been larger here. The citys public.
places and private residences were
decorated TO harmonic with the s9iri.
of the occasion.
The Procession
1t formed on Main Street, and aside
from the band, the marching soldiers
and flower girls, was a wheeled pag-
cant, every person being carried in
tastefully decorated automobiles, and
there were sufficient of them to cover
several blocks in extent.
Sturdy w. NJ. Crume, a Spanish
war soldier, carried the colors at the
head, followed by the city band, the
Spanish-American boys and World
War soldiers, the latter about so in
number, mostly from the rural COM
munities, with Captain Lauder and
Lieutenant Sathe as leaders, then the
veterans of lS6l-'65 in autoes. The
machines in which they rode were
fianked on either side by flower girls,
an especially pretty compliment to the
griZzleo old son of war. Then came
