VALUE OF A TECHNICAL
EDUCATION
lEERING AND AGRICULTURE

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 positions Of poverty and OBJ
scurity.
Times are hard in South Caro-
lima, but the cost Of an education
at Clemson College is comparative
~ low sufficiently low to be with
III the reach Of any ambitious
young man in South Carolina.
Scholarships, free tuition and the
payment by the United States Gov
ernment to r. .. II. G. students,
still further reduce the cost.
lDo not allow the financial diff
culties to keep you from entering
college this fall to prepare your
self for the opportunities that lie
ahead.

SNIPE HUNTING A
NEW EXPERIENCE
Saturday Night Event to
Be Novel Experience
to Many Soldiers

A number of Tulsa legionnalres
whose lives have been spent In cities
with their only woods experience in
the decidedly unpleasant environs OF
Argonne forest or perhaps Belleau
wood over there" are to be initiated
into the glories of snipehuntinR by
brother iegion members who claim
experience I'm the sport at Joe Car
son posts outing Saturday night at
the country home Of Louis Lefko in
the Usage hills.
e Interest of inexperienced ones has
been raised well nigh to fever pitch
by colorful and boastful tales OF the
chase related by eX-snipe hunters in
the post and the amateurs have even
been goaded into rash wagers that
they viii better tho record of
alleged professionals. The best
method Of conducting the hunt has
been the theme of grave discussion
md it has finally been decided to
kse cudgels as the weapon OF Of
tteuse. Those who have never yet
ha1 the pleasure OF looking upon
a fullgrown snipe will be stationed,
each with a bag, in wild part of
tho woods, whittier the game will be
driven by other members OF the
party
Just what influence the legion
brought to bear on the game warden
Is not known, but anyway they have
received permission to hunt without
restriction as to numbers. AL Krup-
nick. well known local press pho-
tographcr has promised to go
along" and says that If - =ecures
any pictures OF a large snipe kill,
they viii be in great demand by
newspapers. A World reporter was
unable to trace to It's lair yesterday
the rumor that several canine cham
pi0ns in the dog races held here in
The fall are TO be imported for the
snipc hunt.
wives OF post members are clam
,oring to attend the hunt but It is
ITO be strictly a stag affair, the only
guests to be famous sniDehunters,
such as John Belcher, who stated
yesterday that he had found this
speoSs OF game larger and more
plentiful in the Colorado Rockies
than anywhere else.
The hunters need not depend
upQn the prospect OF roasted snipe
alone for refreshments after their
arduous exertions. but may look
forward to a bountiful and varied
spread now being planned by :he
post entertainment committee. Aft
crwards a badger fight will be
staged Legionnaires will meet at
legion headquarters at G o'clock Sat
urday evening and will proceed In
autos to Lefko's home on Golden
hill a mile and a half north Of
Bruner station.

WHERE IS COTTON sTockMc9

One may see plenty of silk hosiery
every day but where has the cotton
stocking gone? The subject has wor-
ried cotton manufacturers a lot. The
short skirt sounded the death knell
OF the cotton stocking, among other
things. In solving the question of the
formerly familiar cotton stocking the
censu reports on the silk industry
proves Of value. The statement shows
a production of silk hosiery valued at
$685. 900 in 1919 as compared with
$29, 793, 900 in 1914. About thirty times
as many silk stockings are made now
as there were twenty years ago Thir.
ty women wear silk stockings where
only one wore them twenty years ago.
And 1t is highly improbable that there
is n woman now among thirty who
wears cotton stockings. The cotton
stocking has gone the way of the Dodo
The total valuation of silk knit wear
Including hosiery. sweaters and under
wear Is placed at $207, 370,0 900 for 1919
against SAL, 261 900 In 1914. The total

1T PAYS TO ADVERTISE

WATERFOWL Herald-One of the most
persistent advertisers in the history
OF success was Robinson Crusoe. He
knew what he wanted-a ship-and
he put up an ad for one. He flung a
shirt on a pole, at the top of his
island; that, in the language of the
sea-. was plain to every seafaring man.
THE circulation was small-there
was no other medium--but Crusoe kept
at 1t, despite the fact that he got no
inquiries for a long time. He changed
his copy-as M garment after an.
other was frayed out-and in the end
got what he wanted. 10
Suppose Crusoe had taken down
that signal after a time and declared.
Advertising doesn't pay Where
would he and his story be now?
Put up your signal and keep ii
there. Crusoe advertised under very
discouraging circumstances. You've
got a sure thing-t is only necessary
to have the patience, persistence, and
pluck Of Robinson Crusoe-and the
good ship Better Business will soon
tie up"
