the side of right-angled triangle
that is opposite the right angle
the "hypotenuse." And the title of
the best speller of this Spelling Bee
descended upon the cool and digni-
fed little wife of the pastor of the
Piedmont Cilcuit.
Mrs. George S. Steele gave out the
words, and made capital teacher.
She had Mr.. Steadman to stand by"
with a dictionary as a sort of Court
of Appeal, but his services were not
required. Mrs. Lucy p. Russell and
Mr.. w. l.. Parsons were to be heads
of their respective sides, but illness
in the family detained Mrs. Russell,
and so Dr. A. c. Everett became Cap
tain in her stead. His team gets
the credit of winning even if he did
try to dis-cnter "disintcr."
The award for the best speller,
Mrs. Hall, was a setting of fine-stock
Rhode Island Red Eggs, prettily ar
ranged in a basket. The BOBBY for
the first girl to fall out was given
to Miss Nancy Farley, and Aubrey

judges finally narrowed their dccis

Payne and Mrs w. II. Jones, and

quired to try again, and the cake
for victory was given to the Nc
Aulay-Parsons combination. It was
some class.
After this the audience was scrv-

sandwiches, coffee and cream, and
the party broke up at 1915 with the
verdict that it had been
a most enjoyable evening, happily

Dear Club Girls:
Although am just as busy as can
be, working from nine in the morn
ing until five in the afternoon, and
sometimes at night, | have thought
Of you all and wished that you were
here to enjoy the hospitality Of Win
throp College and see these eleven
hundred girls busily engaged at
their tasks. 1t Is to me a wonderful
inspiration to see so many people
going about their duties In such a
happy and methodical way. You
must all work hard, for, as you
know, the five girls who do the best
work in the county are to be re-
warded with ten-days' trip here in
June.
We are having some wonderful
lectures on gardening, poultry and
dairying, and nutrition, and excellent
demonstrations and talks on house
and yard Improvement.
AS the Vernal Equinox is here and
old Sol is sending his warm rays,
and the singing birds and breezes
whisper, "Spring Is here" there is
nothing that should take hold of us
like a desire to get into the garden
and dig. 1t is splendid exercise and
a wonderful spring tonic.
Help your mothers, and If they
have not already planted beets, car
rots, cauliflower, cabbage, celery,
corn, lettuce, onions, parsley, peas,
raddishes, rape and spinach, urge
them to do so at once. Continus to
plant beans every three weeSs to
have successive crops.

Washington. March 3G.--With the
passing to-day Of the cold wave
which came on the heels OF Easter
officials Of the Department OF Agri-
culture tonight expressed the belief
that the fruit crop surplus of the
country as a whole had not been
materially affected. despite reports
from yariius sections as to heavy
damage. First reports in such cases.
they said, usually are "hysterical," ;"
for those suffering loss are inclined
to judge conditions generally by the
situation in their own district.
1t was pointed out that no reports
had been received OF damage to fruit
crops in New England. New York
state. Michigan. the Great Lakes re-
gi0n, the Pacific coast or the extreme
South. The principal apple sections
afIectcd, officials said. appeared to
be those OF the ozark Mountains and

WILL BE NO FEDERAL LOANS
From Land Bank at Columbia Until
Toward tho Last Of April.

Columbia, March 3O.-It will in
all probability be the last Of April
before loans are actually made by
the Columbia Federal Land Bank
to farmers Of the Southeast, accord
ing to David II. Houston, president
of the bank. who stated to-day that
his institution is receiving large
number Of applications for loans.
Mr.. Houston stated that the Fed
eral board III Washington did not
propose to sell it's bonds Immediate
ly. preferring to make careful
study Of the money market before
offering the bonds for sale. 1t is ex-
pccted that during April. Mr.. Hous-
ton stated. the board will issue bonds
to produce revenue with which to
make loans to the farmers.
Mr.. Houston states that new land
associations are being formed in
many sections. and the applications
for loans are coming in rapidly.
These are being considered carefully
by the bank. but as yet no loans
have been authorized, this depend
ing entirely on the sale Of bonds for
the land banks.
The Columbia Land Banks oper-
atfons have been greatly augmented
since the Supreme Courts decision
that the land bank act is constitu-
tional. 1t is believed that the MAX
ing Of loans by the bank will greatly
benefit tho agricultural interests Of
the country. Tho Columbia bank COW
