WILSON'S NEW HOME
GETTING ON HIS NERVES

Washington, June 11.-Former
President Wilson'S new home at
2340 S. street is getting on his
nerves, according to close friends. 1t
is reported Mr.. Wilson Is contem-
plating a move into the country.
The home of the former President
is constructed with steel, instead
of wooden laths, and it is said this
construction has made the house
sensitive to vibrations Of passing
traffic, and the noise is annoying to
Mr.. Wilson.

GOING AHEAD?

---
through scraping bottom. We have
passed through depression and defa-
tion. The ship has been all but
stranded but we are about to put OH:
to sea. The War Finance Corpora
ton is ready and willing to finance
the sale Of cotton in Europe. In this
respect the Harding administration
is not following the Wilson admins
tration. The world needs cotton and
the South has it. Europe will buy
when credit conditions are such that
the people over there are able to buy.
The fnanciers of this country will
arrange the credit conditions. 1t will
take time to work it all out, and we
must be patient, but the better times
for which we all hope will come. Cot
ton will not go back to the war prices
but cotton must be produced; the
, world must have it to be clothed,
and it will be made profitable to pro-
duce it again. That means prosperity
for the people again, not an era of
speculation and of profteering to be
sure, but an era of good returns for
good honest labor.
Then again people are getting over
the blues. The crop is well on the
way. People have planted so that
they may live at least in part at
home, and they have made crop at
a small fraction of the cost of the
last crop. The bankers have been pa
tient; they have struggled to make
things better for the country and
they are coming out of the woods.
Building activities are again in evil
dence, and men plan again for the
future. There are inquiries about
land and property generally, while
at the lowest price of several years,
is more seriously thought Of.
Unless we are mistaken, we are
about to- 60 forward again. 1t is a
time for the people to te h'reerl.
1t is a time for all of US t. shake off
slothfulness, to abandon fear, and to
take new courage. The worst is pass
ed, let US look to the future.
That being the case the people Of
Abbeville must get in the procession,
and having got there we must keep
up. Why not lead? We have the busi-
ness men here;'we have our part of
the money; we have a live Chamber
of Commerce and an active secre-
tary. All we need is the go-ahead
spirit, and that we must have. Would
it not be a fine thing for Abbeville
of all the Piedmont towns to take
the lead in the rehabilitation! We may
if we will. 1t is something to think
about, neighbors. Let US think seri-
ously.

VALUE OF A TECHNICAL
EDUCATION

A technical education is the
best insurance against hard
times. In earning capacity, it
may equal an estate of $4,000
For the unframed are the posi-
tions of poverty and obscurity.
Times are hard in Suoth Caro-
lima, but the cost Of an education
at Clemson College is compare
lively low,-sufficiently low to be
within the reach Of any ambitious
young man in South Carolina.
Scholarships, free tuition and
the payment by the United States
Government to R. o. T. c stu
dents, still further reduce the
cost.
Do not allow the financial diff
ficulties to keep you from enter
ing college this fall to prepare
yourself for the opportunities
that lie ahead.

SCHOLARSHIPS AND EXAMI-
NATIONS

The college maintains one hun
dred and seventy four-year schol-
arships in the Agricultural and
Textile Courses. Each scholarship
means $40O to help pay expenses
and S160 for tuition apportioned
equally over the four years.
: Also ffty-two scholarships in
the One Year Agricultural Course;
these scholarships are worth $100.
and tuition of $40. The scholar
ships must be won. by competitive
examinations which are held by
each County Superintendent Of
Education on July 9Th. It is worth
your while to try for one of these
scholarships
Credit for examinations passed
at the county seat will be given to
those who are not applying for
scholarships but for entrance.

WASHINGTON, March 11--In the spring when the housewife's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of moths, she may be grateful that Uncle Sam main tains a bureau which does nothing else but study bugs.
 At the head of this bureau is Dr. Leland Ossian Howard, the worlds foremost bugologist. Here's his advice the best to be had-on how you can combat clothes moths;
 Tn general moths are likely to af- feet only such articles as are put away and left undisturbed for some time
 Articles in daily or weekly use, and apartments frequently aired or used as living rooms, are not likely to be seriously affected.
 Agitation. such as beating. shaking or brushing, or exposure to air and sunlight, are old remedies and still among the best at command.
 Odor Weak; Protection Less
 "Camphor, tobacco, napfhaline cones or balls, cedar chips and. sprigs have a certain value if the garments are not already stocked with eggs or larvae. As the odor weakens the pro- teetion decreases.
 If the eggs or larvae are already present, the odor will, have no effect on their development. ,g
 When woolens are being packed away, they should be well aired and exposed to sunlight; then camphor.

tobacco or the cedar chips should be enclosed in the package
 ''The odor of the wood in cedar chests is largely rost with age, so in the course of a few years they fail as a protection.
 "Furs and such garments may also be stored in boxes and trunks lined with heavy tar paper. New papering should be given to such boxes every year or two.
 ''Tarred paper moth bags are also of some value. But, like the cedar chest, the materiax, packed in them must he free of moths from the be- ginning.
 ITO protect carpets, clothes, cloth covered furniture and furs. these ar ticles should be. thoroughly beaten, shaken, brushed ana exposed as long as practicable to the sunlight in early spring. either in April, May or June depending upon the latitude.
 Brushing important
 The brushing of garments is very important because it removes eggs ol young larvae. Such material car then be hung away in clothes closets which have been thoroughly cleaned and if necessary, sprayed with ben zlne about the cracks of the floor ant the baseboards.
 If no other protection be given garments should be examined once ; month during summer, brushed ant exposed to sunlight"
