Big Home Coming at Clemson
Soon.

Clemson College, July 17.-Clem-
son is to have a great home coming
July 80, 81 and August 1. A round
thousand of the Tigers will be here
representing every period of the col
lege history. There will be no for
nality about the occasion and every
body will be out for good time.
Special privileges will be granted
and lights will be on any old time.
President Riggs has sent out the
following invitations to every stu
dent whose address could be found +:
aYou are cordially invited to attend
the Second Home Coming of Glenn
son Tigers at the Old Lair" Secre-
'tary Littlejohn has sent our circu-
lars giving detail of the meet.
There will be a big alumni meet
ing at which a president of the as
sociation will be elected to succeed
Prof. H. w. Barre, who was reflect
ed at the last meeting but who has
since resigned.
Littlejohn says that the cold stor-
are plant will be loaded with eats for
the whole gang. 1t will not be neces-
sary for any of the boys to raid the
chicken roosts, though some may do
so to feel entirely at home aganl-
The mess hall will have a new tile
floor. lace curtains, made in the tex
tile building, and green shades.
B. Rhett Turnipseed will preach
for the Tigers on Sunday. That ser
mon will be worth going long way
to hear, and some of the boys may
need it.
There is much talk of securing a
permanent alumni secretary. The
matter will be discussed at the home
coming. But not much time is going
TO be given to business. Everybody
is expected to have the time Of his
life. The Clemson Tigers are scat
tered all over the country. The home
Coming will be the only chance that
many will ever have to seeing the
old boys together. Whoever misses
that occasion will miss one Of the
big events in the history Of his alma
mater.

Americans Taken Care of in
Budapest.

Budapest, June 2s.-U. Grant
Smith, the American high commits
sioner in Budapest has succeeded in
saving about 5O,OOO,OOO crowns to
Americans who recently opened ac-
counts for trading purposes.
The Hungarian government is
sued in March a decree requiring the
stamping of notes of the Austro-
Hungarian bank circulating in Hun
gary, to relieve it's financial embar-
rassment it ordered one-half of the
money presented for stamping to be
withheld and converted into COM
pulsory state loan. Some of the bank
ers saw go cd opportunity of load
ing their inevitable losses on the
shoulders of their American clients.
Although the Americans had only
current or drawing accounts-some
of the bankers of Budapest attempt
ed to treat them as actual money de-
posits, pass off their ready money as
the American deposits get it stamp
ed and write a letter to their clients
stating henceforth they could only
dispose of one-half their deposit. AS
for the other half of the depositors
were in several cases notified they
had participated in a compulsory
Hungarian state loan the bonds Of
which are non-transferable and non
negotiable but valid for the payment
of taxes.
The scheme was frustrated by the
intervention of Mr.. Grant-Smith,
who made representations to the
Hungarian government that no mon
ey transaction of the government
could involve financial losses to citi-
zens of the United States. AS the
rightfulness Of this principle was ac-
knowledged by the Hungarian gov
ernment, the bankers were outwit-
ted. This incident, as Mr.. Grant
Smith remarked, answers the ques-
ton: "Does efficient diplomatic SER
vice pay?"

Southern Tells How to Ship
Hogs.

Atlanta, Ca, July Ito pre-
vent losses to livestock, particularly
hogs, in transit during hot weather,
the Live Stock Department of the
Southern Railway System has issued
the following suggestions to shippers
with request that they be followed
as closely as possible:
Haul or drive hogs to station in
ample time to allow them to become
rested and cool before loading.
When ordering car for loading
hogs, insist upon clean one bedded
with sand, clay or earth.
Wet thoroughly the bedding and
interior of the car before loading.
Give only small feed of grain be
fore shipping. Heavy feed means
more body heat generated.
Load not more than one hour be-
fore the train is to depart.
Load slowly and carefully. Avoid
excitement and do not beat or bruise
the animals.
Have water applied to the bedding
in the car available points immedi-
ately after the train stops.
Use ice on floor of car whenever
possible, three blocks to car.
Report inattention or neglect
promptly to superintendent of di-
vision on which shipment originates.
Never throw water directly upon
hogs after they become heated. Run
it on floor of car under hogs instead.

The Fall Garden.

Clemson College, July ia
small amount of time and labor ex-
pended in the preparation and plant
ing of a fall garden will bring val
liable returns. Aside from the pleas
ure of having fresh vegetables for
the table during the "dry" winter
months, the financial saving is wor-
thy of consideration. Following is
list of vegetables that may be includ-
ed in the fall garden:
Beets: Sow beet seed the latter
part of September. The plants will
stand the winter and produce beets
for early spring use.
Cabbage: Good plants of the
Wakefield varieties if set now will
form heads before the cold weather
With slight protection both cabbage
and collards will carry through our
severest winters.
Kale: Seed sown during Septem-
Der will produce an abundance of
greens during winter and early
spring. Siberian curled is good fall
variety.
Lettuce: Sow Big Boston variety
for supply of delightful salad dur
ing fall and winter. With slight pro-
lection firm heads can be produced.
Mustard: Mustard will stand any
amount of cold, and seed sown dur
ing September will furnish greens
throughout the fall, winter and early
spring.
Onion: White Pearl is splendid
variety for fall planting. Sets of
this variety will furnish bulbs and
tops during the winter and early
spring. Seeds may be sown from
September goth to October 18th.
Garden Peas: Plant during the
month of November for the earliest
spring peas. Alaska is good variety
for fall planting.
Radish: Long white Spanish or
some of the other varieties of winter
will remain in good condition during
the winter. Sow seed the last of Sep
tember.
Rape: Though commonly sown
for pasturage, rape seed sown in
September will yield excellent win
ter greens.
Spinach: One of the most de-
lightful vegetables. Seed sown the
last of September or early part of
October will produce greens through
out the winter until late spring.
Turnips: This is one of the re-
liable vegetables that will produce
both roots and tops for winter and
spring use. Sow seed from 1st to
goth of September.
Every farmers garden should be
provided with cold frames and hot
beds. They are easily and cheaply
constructed and serve as an impor-
tant factor in keeping up the supply
of vegetables during the winter
months.

DeLuSiOn
BY Brice Belden, M. D.

~ NE would think. judging from
the pictures which one finds
In the advertising pages Of
our monthly magazines, that mere
punches Of muscles are an indica-
tion Of good health.
Well. II isn't SO.
sThe pictures may be helpful to
the general cause OF good health
in 30 far as they suggest the need
for systematic exercise.
Men with exceptionally developed
muscles are not usually good In
surance risks. This is because very
large muscles are likely to have
been developed by strains which
damage the heart. This damage
may not reveal itself during the
iusty youth of the individuals con-
cerned. but in later life 1t make
itself manifest.
Athletics which lead to abnormal
development along certain lines,
and do not represent a well-rounded
and temperate training OF the body,
do not conduce to longevity.
Then there are the cases In which
an abnormal development OF certain
groups of muscles II due to a we'll
known disease. In such cases the
enormous and apparently powerful
muscles are In reality extremely
weak.
II is not the muscles Of the limbs
