INSECT PLAGUE ON RHINE
Faces and Hands of Americans Swol-
len from Mosquito Bites.

Berne, Switzerland, Oct. 1.-THE
long drought, hot Summer and phe-
nomenally warm Autumn have caus-
ed a plague of mosquitoes and gnats
throughout the Continent, particular
ly along the Rhine. Troops in the
zone occupation have swollen faces
and hands, due to mosquito bites and
80 venomous have the mosquitoes be-
come that the Health Office Of the
Canton of Basle, through which the
Rhine flows, has issued detailed In
structions concerning methods OF
preventing mosquitoes and gnats
from breeding.
Usually the mosquitoes have by
now begun their winter sleep. but
owing to the warmth, they are ex-
tremely active. The female mosqui-
toes are by far the most bloodthirsty.
The authorities are publishing the
prescription for a compound to burn
in stables, cellars, drainpipes and
other damp places frequented by win
teering mosquitoes.
The prescription is two parts OF
powdered Spanish pepper, one par
of fresh dalmatian insect POWDER; one
part Of powdered valfrian roots, and
one part Of powdered saltpetre. The
authorities are urging the public to
burn this mixture wherever mosqui'
toes have taken shelteg. Otherwise
they say, the plague may become
positively dangerous.

CADETS WILL MISS FAIR

ject to Old Program

Anderson, Oct. 11.-Refusing in a
request that the Clemson College
student body be allowed to come to
Anderson for this county's first agri-
cultural fair, DR.. W. N. Riggs, presi-
dent of the institution, this morning
made announcement that he will not
permit the student body to attend
the State Fair in Columbia this year,
although that has been the custom
for years. DR.. Riggs stated his action
is due to complaint voiced last year
by some parents over the students
missing classes while at the fair. He
agreed to permit the Clemson stu

SWEET POTATO LORE

Columbia, Oct. 11.-"In spite of
the experience of every Southern
State-as well as the experience in
New Jersey and Delaware that stor-
ing sweet potatoes in pits is rank
folly"-says Mr.. H. E. Horton, of
the South Carolina Development
Board, "many of cur farmers will
chance it again this year and COM
plain there is no money in sweet po-
tatoes."
The last Yearbook Of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture gives the
loss of sweet potatoes from plant
diseases in. 1919 as 5S,000,000 bu-
shells. This is tremendous loss when
we think the country for this year
produced only 105,4O5,O00 bushels.
1t is not known what part of this loss
was due to storage-rots, but, it is
safe to say, a large part. ,

The Source of Motor Trouble

VOU do not look into your
l. gasoline tank to find the
cause Of engine troubles, but
you might find it there.
Automobile motors require a
good, steady diet of balanced
gasoline. If the distilled prod
uct varies because of changing
qualities of the crude oil from
which it is refined, your gaso-
line is one-sided. Every oil
field produces petroleum rich
