RED CROSS

The ladies at the Red Cross head
quarters are continually working for
our soldiers. The work rooms are
open every day in the Y. NJ. G. A.
building and two nights week-Mon-
days and Fridays. What would be-
come of the injured soldiers if they
did not receive this valuable assist
ance from the Red Cross workers?
We surely should donate our services
in this way, when all our splendid
young men give their lives for their
country. Red Cross work has been
thoroughly explained over and over
again, and everybody surely knows by
this time what it means. More work
ers are wanted at once at the local
headquarters to assist in getting the
surgical dressings, bandages, etc, out.

WARM WEATHER

The past week Wausau was given
taste of hot weather, reminding one
of the scorching weather of last sum-
mer. The temperature was up in the
SOS and COS all week. The nights were
so warm that it was difficult to keep
comfortable, many people sleeping on
upper floors moved down a story, and
still it was hot and hard to sleep. Last
Thursday afternoon we had a shower
accompanied by lightning and thun-
der, but the storm did not help condi-
lions any. Thursday evening it cooled
off, but Friday the hot weather pro-
gram began again and continued
through the entire week, and is still
in order. The following table gives
an idea of how hot it really was:

Picnics seem to be the order of the
day. Our people are out in large num-

course. it is not picnic without
"eats.' The picnic lunches are the
main features, and it seems that one
can eat more at a picnic than ordin
arily. There are many ideal picnicing
places about Wausau, which largely
explains the reason for so many out of
door affairs in this vicinity during the
summer months.

HOME GROWN FOOD sTUFFs

Oa!ly Mall.
The Honea Path Chronicle in dis
cussing the need Of producing more
foodstuffs at home, says:
"It is useless to encourage the peo-
pie to raise and preserve vegetables
for market unless the home buyer
will purchase them. To our own
knowledge local merchant was able
last year to purchase home canned to-
matoes cheaper than he buys those
packed in distant States, but he could
find few purchasers for the local pro-
duct as the trade preferred to pay d
higher price for the foreign product
rather than get home grown product
at saving. If you want the farmer
to raise food stuffs you must pro-
vide market for his roducts."
We have heard complaints of this
kind before, and no doubt there Is
ground for them. Some years ago g.
canning factory was established at
Laurens. A good quality OF product
was turned out but the local people
would not buy them. SO the factory
shipped its output to a wholesaler In
Baltimore The Baltimore dealer
pasted new labels over the old ones,
shipped the goods back to Laurens
and sold them at a good price and the
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1917-05-15

people thought they were getting
better grade Of foods than that pun
up by their own factory. This IS IN
actual fact.
But times are changing, and the
people are learning more sense. The
price of all foodstuffs is going up, and
people will of necessity be more
economical in their purchases. We
believe the people will no longer be
SO foolish as to buy a foreign product
II they can got goods Of the same
quality at home and at the same
prices.
And under the present conditions
there will be campaign to give home
products the preference. If the goods
cannot be sold at home, they can be
shipped elsewhere. People Of other
sections are not different from those
at home, and they may prefer for
eign product, and we may sell chem
our product while We buy theirs.
We confidently believe there will be
a strong demand for all kinds OF
home grown products from now ON.

FASHIONS LATEST WHY'S
Fine GiRghams Combined With Silks
in Summer Suits
Draperies in Afternoon Frecks.

New York, May 12. 1917
To keep apace with fashion, one
must be ever on the alert In these
days when there Is constantly some
thing new appearing. We do not look
for any change In the silhouette, for
that has been finally settled, at least
for the coming season, but there are
countless important minor details al
ways turning up which make the game
Of keeping up with the mode very
interesting one. Almost each day
something new Is brought to the at
tention; a certain material suddenly
rises into prominence, new way OF
draping a skirt Is devised. and sun
dry novel accessories appear upon the
scenes and are quickly taken up with
enthusiasm.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1917-05-15

In opposition to the frocks that are
absolutely straight in line, there are
many ways of draping skirts to give
that slight pufiness about the hips
W hich Is now one of the accepted
modes in the dressier type Of frock
for afternoon and evening wear. One
Of the latest ways is by gathering
the straight lower section OF skirt
to a yoke, and leaving the sides free
to form looped draperies which fall
very gracefully into position when the
soft pliable materials are used. An
illustration of this charming style Is
shown in the sketch. The dress Is OF
pongee trimmed with narrow bands
OF ribbon. The waist Of this costume
is made with kimona sleeves Of the
loose, baggy type, the kind that were
in fashion some time ago. The un-
usual V-shaped collar and faring cuffs
add the note of distinction which all
such simple styles require.
Sometimes long, straight tunics or
apron effects take the place of draper
les In frocks Of silk, chiffon Or Geor-
gette. a beautiful dress Of white
satin for bride was made with a
long pleated apron of fine white ne.
edged with white glass beads. The
transparent glass beads are now being
used for the bead work, which isi
strongly in evidence.
Ginghams for Summer Suits and
Dresses.
Bright, colorful ginghams in very
fine qualities have risen into prom!n-
ence and are used in fashioning not
only separate blouses and skirts, but
also entire summer dresses and suits.
In making suits, the latest fad has
been to combine gingham with pom
gee and other sports silks. A skirt |
Of gingham Is used with silk coat
which has the collar and cuffs anu
sometimes, pockets, of gingham. A |
surprising combination, but distinct
" effective when one gets used to the
ideal! In other instances, plaid and
plain ginghams are used to make the
popular MILDLY dresses with slip over
blouses and pleated skirts. With the
plaid used for the skirt and to trim
the blouse, a dress Of this kind is ex-
ceedingly attractive for summer wear.
Ginghams are crisp and cool and may
always be kept looking fresh.
The separate skirt of plaid or
checked gingham, to wear with white
yoile and batiste waists, is also q
pleasing novelty for summer. The !
skirts are sometimes made with belts !
of silk In some bright color matching /
one of the colors in the plaid or
stripes as the case may be. Smart
gingham blouses are trimmed with
white pique collars and cuffs, and
buttonholes bound with the pique.

GROW MORE CHICKENS
HOMEGROWN Poultry is Cheap Neat
Food.

Clemson COlle6o, -. w., lucy ~"
'Exeriments have shown that young
chickens can be grown more cheaply
To the frying age than the same
amount OF meat can be purchased.
This Is under normal conditions and
prices, but with the abnormal con-
ditions that We have at the present
time, there is no question but that
1t will pay everyone to greatly m
crease the production of chickens
this year.
Many people have the erroneous
impression that is impossible to
hatch and rear chickens successfully
in the summer months. They say
that their. chickens stand around ana
ago to sleep" that the majority OF
them die and that the summer rails
ing of poultry Is improbable. The
main reason why the chickens go
to sleep" Is that they are not recelV-
ing a sufficient amount OF ani1na!
food or protein. Whenever chick
ems look sleepy or droop their wings.
feed them more cottonseed NEAL
velvet bean meal. pea meal, soy bean
meal. peanut meal, or meat scraps.
One of the best foods for sleepy
chickens. is to give every day one
meal of cut up meat after 1t has oeen
cooked. You can throw the table
scraps to them. containing small
pieces of meat, or you can buy COM
mercial product which Is known as
beef scraps Of cut-up cooked meat or
meat scraps your chickens will look
entirely different. They will recover
from their sleepy appearance anu
will grow healthy and strong.
If you feed your young chickens
a sufficient amount of protein. as
above advised, and also provide them
with shade In the summer months, II
is possible to hatch chickens through
the summer and also, early fall. In
from 10 to Il weeks these chicks can
be killed and eaten. and they Will pro-
vide substantial part of the meat
diet Of the household. The cost OF
the food consumed by baby CHICKS
until they are ten weeks OF age should
not exceed 10 cents each. Give the
baby chicks all the scraps from the
table moistening the bread with
little sweet or sour milk and thicRen-
ing the hominy and vegetables with
meal.
II you desire to obtain the great
est profit and pleasure from the
chicks. 1t is we'll to confne them in
small crates for two weeks before
being killed. The lack OF exercise
and the special food that the chicks
receive when in the crates, greatly
improves the favor and quality OF
the flesh. They should gain IN
weight from so to Is per cent, and
this gain in weight is accomplished
at much less cost than when the
chicks are running at liberty and
using considerable proportion OF
their food for repairing their mus
cles
Complete directions for rearing
and fedeing chicks, and also Tor
combining and fattening them in
crates, can be obtained from the
roultry bulletin published by the
EXTENSION Division Of Clemson Col
lese, S. c.. which is sent free to all
residents of South Carolina.
