C4tEATORE AND HIS BAND.
Will BE one OF the Big Attractions at
~ Sumter's 1917 Chautauqua.

The great Creatore will accom-
pany his band and direct it in person
at the evening concert on the seventh
day Of the Redpath Chautauqua in
this city. Two concerts will be CIV
en-. one in the afternoon and one in
the evening. Creatore is without
doubt the most unique personality
among band leaders today. Magnetic,
dramatic. a veritable whirlwind when
directing. he imparts to his men and
his audiences a kindred fervour that
Is almost hypnotic in it's effects. He
sweeps his audiences off their feet.
His band is great because it is Gre
atore who is leading. His leading is
the secret Of his success. In speaking
of his work the Boston Globe says:

passionate nature, to the emotions Of
music. Creatore is an Italian-he

an abundance of food crops so as to

for Sumter county organized to warn
our people, white and colored, the

the threatened food famine in the
South because of the shortage of the
last food producing harvest, and the
big demand to be made upon this

food crops.

impress upon the farmers, colored
farmers particularly, the great need
for planting, not only food crops for
their own use, but for others as ev-
erybody will need these food pro-
ducts for man and beast, and the de-
mand will be so great that the sur
plus food crops can be disposed of at
big profits.

PAY OF ENLISTED MEN
IN ARMY GOES TO
THIRTY DOLLARS MONTH

The least pay that a private in the
United States army gets at the present
time is $50 according to a telegram
received by Sergeant Brandt of the
Ardmore army station. Fifteen dollars
month has been added by a new law

The new schedule which commenced
June /, is as follows: Where base pay
does not exceed twenty-one dollars a
month. an increase of S15 is made; base
pay S2i, an increase of s12; base pay
s36 or $40, an increase of So; base pay
S45 or more, an increase Of SO. In
creases do not enter into the computa-
tion Of continuous service pay.
In the navy the new pay tables in
clude a ten per cent increase above the
old schedule, plus a special duty pay
which amounts to from IS to $40 a
month. The pay according to this
schedule for a chief petty officer in the
navy is S65 to $50; for a petty officer
S33 to $72 for seamen, first class,
S26.40. for seamen, second class $1,000;
for cooks, S25 to $50; and for firemen
$2420 to $3.50.
