SPLENDID New Building.

The patrons of Mt. Zion school
have erected an attractive new
school building. 1t is located near
the home of MIR. E. M. Padgett.
Notwithstanding the fact that this
section of the county is somewhat
thinly settled, the good people put
their shoulders to the wheel and
provided modern building that is
adequate to the needs of the school.
By this progressive move they have
set an example that other rural
communities would do well to fol-
low. The first requisite for q sue:
cessful school is commodious,
comfortable, well-lighted, well-ven-
tilated building. Would that every
community in the county had such
a building as has been provided for
the children who attend the Mt.
Zion school!

Travels in Germany

on the "wagen," the German wore
for train, and reached at 10 p. m
Dresden, the Florence of the north
picturesquely situated on the banks
of the Elbe. 1t is the most impor
tant center of art in northern Ger
many and was included principally
in our itinerary in order that WE
might see the famous painting
the Sistine Madonna by Raphael
considered to be the finest picture
in the world. 1t is characterized bJ
the marvellous softness of colorlne
and by the wonderful sweetness ano
contemplation expressed in the face
of the Madonna who occupies the
center of the work with St. Sixtus
to the right and St. Barbara to the
left. The background is filled with
small angel faces in dim outline and
at the bottom of picture are two
lovely cherubs. The finest collection
of iewelry in the world is in the
Green Vault, called green because
it contains the only green diamond
as well as other handsome jewels,
canoes, clocks, carved ivory and
the crown jewels. Out of single
piece of ivory was carved the Fallen
Angels in l42 pieces. Dresden is one
of the mos, beautiful cities we visit
ed and drive along the residence
streets with beautiful homes and
flowers and statuary will always be
a pleasant memory. At every street
corner were women selling lovely
flowers, fruits and vegetables and
the whole city looked like huge
piece of Dresden china of dainty
and attractive design.
We all considered Germany a
beautiful country and the people In
dustrious, home-loving useful intel
ligent citizens. What change has
come over the country since then,
converting a peaceful land into
scenes of blood and carnage with
thousands slain in war brought
about largely by the over reaching
ambitions of misguided rulers. !,

Successful Rally Day.

The annual rally or work day for
the orphanage was observed by the
Methodist Sunday school Sunday
morning, and the success of the
occasion, as well as the results OBJ
tanned, was most gratifying to the
pastor and officers of the school.
The attendance was larger than last
year, and Notwithstanding the pre-
vailing financial stringenoy, the col
lection was larger than that realized
from the rally day of last year. The
sum of S35.77 was coll ected for the
Epworth orphanage. Mr.. Walker is
also greatly pleased that the sum
realized by the Trenton Sunday
school was larger than that of last
year.

Thirteenth Anniversary.

Friday evening last marked the
close of the 18th year of the happy
married life Of Capt. and Mrs. Ma
than George Evans aud the occa-
sion was suitably celebrated at their
handsome home, a number of friends
being invited to share the pleasures
of the evening. Soon after the ar.
rival of the guests they were seated
about five tables, where an interest
ing game of auction bridge was
played. In addition to the usual en-
thusiasm and pleasure incident to a
game of bridge which is participa-
ted in by a congenial company of
friends, the echoes from the
wedding bells which rang out thir
teen happy summers ago caused the
wedding spirit to pervade the at
mosphere, making this more thor
oughly enjoyable than the ordinary
function where cards play the lead
Ing role. Ihe thlrteen-year-olu
bride and groom" neither of
whom seem to have grown day
older, received the hearty congratu-
lations and sincere good wishes that
Fortune may continue to smile
bountifully upon them.
AT the close of the game OF
bridge the lady's prize was
awarded to Mrs. Julian D..
Holstein and the consolation prize
to Mrs. Susan B. Hill. The closing
feature, and by no means one that
was displeasing, was the serving OF
elaborate refreshments in several
Courses by the bride" in her ac-
customed queenly manner.

Grow Food Crops.

If cotton declines much more
and remains low, it will not require
an act of the legislature to decrease
the acreage next year. Every sensi-
BILE man will realize that to continue
to grow cotton until a normal status
is restored in Europe will mean
complete bankruptcy. The only sal
vation left to the farmers is to re-
,duce the cotton acreage and turn
their attention to producing every
thing possible on the farm that will
supply food for man and beast.

The Test That Tells.
Is the Test of Time. ManyssEdge

This Test.

Years ago this Edgefeld citizen
told in public statement, the bene'
fit derived from noan's kidney pills.
The statement is now confirmed
the testimony complete. Instances
like this are numerous. They doub-
ly prove the merit of Doan's kidney
pills. Can any Edge6eld reader de-
mand more convincing proof? It's
Ed9cfeld testimony, 1t may be In
vestigated.
Mrs. G. H. Key, Wigfall avenue,
Edgetield, says: Il very seldom have
any trouble from my back or kid,
neys now, but when I do, l always
take Doan's kidney pills and they
relieve me. You may continue to
use my former statement, recon.
mending them. I have just as much
faith in Doan's kidney pills now as
I did some years ago when | first
endorsed them"

that Mrs. Key had. Foster-Milburn

FORMER SOUTH DAkoTAN
TRUSTED HUERTA AGENT

A E L
White Lake Wave: The Wave is in
receipt Of advance excerpts from a new
book which is shortly to be issued by
John w. DeKay, of Mexico City, DEAL
ing with affairs regarding the present
crisis Of affairs in the history of that
country. The chief interest In the
work to us lies in the fact that John
Dekay was formerly a White Lake boy.
All the schooling which he ever re-
ceived (Which was just as little as pos
slble, because he generally played
truant) was gotten in our public
schools before he was Ia years old. AS
a boy he a no %scruples as to the
means used to gain his point and pre-
sumably he has acquired none since.
But his genius for evading the law and
escaping the penalty therefor has been
the wonder OF half a world. Some
months 6 President Huerta sent him
to London to negotiate a loan and pur-
chase munitions Of war for the carry
ing on OF his campaign. DeKay was
right in his element. He was used to
hobnobbing with money kings and had
no difficulty in securing the funds Of
Which Huerta stood in so great need.
The supplies were shipped to Vera
Cruz, but no sooner were they landed
h a the United States government
seized them. The evident object Of
Delays book Is to embroil Uncle Sam
with some of the foreign powers. In
addition to his wonderful ability as a
hnancier, Mr.. DeKay must be credited
with possessing literary talent Of a
very high urder-a combination which
Is exceedingly rare.
