WANT OLD THU

The United Charities is badly in
need of old clothing of every
variety and description. Daily we
turn away men, women and children
who want clothes for the simple
reason that we have no clothes to
give them. Any contributions in
this line could be used to advantage
and would do a world of good.
Do not send your old clothes, how
ever, if they are riddled with holes
and covered with dirt, for what does
it profit a man if we divest him of
one suit Of rags and dress him in
another? Many a man or boy would
have a better chance of securing work
If he were decently clothed, so when
we fit them out we would like to make
them presentable at least.
Any out grown or slightly worn
such as coats, pants, vests,
shirts, under clothing, dresses, skirts,
waists and hats, of all sizes will be
gratefully received. Send to the Y.
M. c. A. Office, Confederate Memorial
Building.

A Sensible CiSaretts
Cut Your Store Bill
Down One Half

Tens of thousands of farmers as well as
town and city folks cut down their store
bills one-half last year and saved money
in spite of generally short crops and re-
duced wages.
Absolutely millions of dollars were
saved and countless families lived better
than ever before in the face of the cotton
crisis and general business depression.
How were these b~urdensome store bills
cut down? By the real money-saving
power of good home gardens, rightly
planted and kept planted and tended
through the season.
Hastings 1916 Seed Catalogue tells how
to cut store bills down; tells about gar
den and farm seeds of kinds and a quail
ity that cannot be bought from your mer-
chant or druggist. It's full of garden and
farm information. It's free if you ask
for it. Write for it now. H. G. HASTINGS

EVERYWOMAN"

One of the distinguishing charac-
teristics of the production of the
dramatic spectacle, "Everywoman,"
which Henry w. Savage will offer at
the Greenwood Theatre, Monday,
February 7th, is its huge size. There
are two complete carloads of seen
cry and electrical effects. The
fourth act set alone is larger than
the majority of large productions.
1t is the act in which is represented
the fanfare and riot of New Years
Eve on Broadway, New York. Those
who have witnessed it are amazed at
the faithfulness of the picture. 1t
was painted by Walter Burridge who
visited Broadway at the time des-
cribed and made pen-pictures of the
astonishing scenes just after the
theatres have released their patrons
and the hiliarity has set in. There
is, perhaps, in actual life, no other
situation so difficult to produce. I'M
agine a seething, surging, eddying,
shouting, ~shrieking collection of men,
women and children imbued with the
idea that one must make as much
noise as possible and behave in the
most famboyant manner, and you
have a New York crowd on New
Years Eve. Now to produce this
effect literally upon the stage! Some
task! George Marion, the stage pro-
Queer for Mr.. Savage, is noted for
his handling of crowds. In this
scene of "Everywoman" he is at his
best. Over one hundred and fifty
people appear in the one picture.
The blare of trumphets, the throw
ing of confetti, the mingling Of
those of the upper strata of life with
the denizens of the lower world which
prevails during the carnival season
was perhaps never better illustrated.
There are brokers and college stu
dents, patrons of the high-priced cafes
and beggars, preachers and pick
pockets, young men sowing their wild
oats and old men harvesting theirs
and all in easy confraternity, with
shouts of bedlam oar Of laughter,
and general pandemonium. 1t is a
scene once witnessed long to be re.
membered because it is not merely q
counterfeit presentment of life but
life sitelf.

Third, avoid those that
