DICKINSON
GIRL SCULPTOR Wins
HIGH H0NORS IN West

The story of a former Dickinson
girl. who has made good in her pro
fession in California, comes to us this
week through the kindness of jay
Reed, who has handed us a San Diego
newspaper clipping which recites at
some length the latest achievement of
the former Dickinsonian.
Miss Edna, daughter of Mr.. and
E. l.. Scofield, who left this city
nearly nine years ago for California,
is the subject of the story. Her latest
achievement is the sculpturing of a
statuette of "Yellow Skies" a famous
old Yuma Indian. He was the part
ner of "Chief" Ed. Davis of the Mesa
Grande. Unquestionably, says the
story, the statuette of "Yellow Skies"
the wrinkled old Yuma Indian, him
self, in a miniature which traces his
very bedraggled hair and rag gar
ments with unfailing fidelity, will gain
new recognition for Miss Scofield,
"Hippity Hop" was awarded a gold
medal at the Panama-California ex-
position: Other studies by Miss Sco-
field, all of which r well known to
San Diego art students and patrons,
oA0 CAAcl, Vic AlCCle dream
Boy" a bust of Deve Ram Sokul, an
other of G. A. Fries and another Of
Miss Ruth Kennedy. Miss Scofeld
has devoted much of her time to art
tile designing, particularly to sculp-
tured editions of Mother Goose
rhymes and other jingles and sub
jects of special interest to children.
Miss Scofield conducted a studio in
Dickinson when her father operated
what is now known as Reed Brothers
Department store. She had many
pupils here and at that time showed
talent of a rare order. Many of her
paintings done in those days now
decorate local walls and are esteemed
very highly by their possessors. A
portrait and a pastoral scape in the
home of Judge and Mrs. w. C. Craw-
ford, the work of Miss Scofeld, arc
much-prized. Miss. Scofeld went
from here to Chicago, where she
studied illustration and design at the
Chicago Art Institute. Only four
years ago, a student under Julia
Bracken Windt, whom she assisted in
the modelling of the art, science and
history group which now graces Ex-
position park in Los Angeles, Miss
Scofeld shows promise of placing her
self in the front rank of American
sculpture.

SUGAR CURING MEATS

When the meat has been cooled and
cut up rub each piece with salt and
allow it to drain owe night. Then
pack in a barrel with the hams and
shoulders in the bottom, using the
strips of bacon to fill in between or
to put on top. For each 100 pounds
Of meat weigh out 8 pounds Of salt,
2 of brown sugar, and 2 ounces of
saltpeter and dissolve in 4 gallons of
water. Pour on enough of this brine
to cover the meat. In the summer it
is best to boil the brine. If this is
done, cool it before putting on the
meat. The strips of bacon should be
left in 4 to 6 weeks and the hams 6
to 8 weeks. They are then ready for
smoking.

BELFIELD TO HAVE

Plans are under. way for the BIOS
somlng out at Belfeld of a $4,000
Waterworks system in the near fu-

and as a consequence insurance rates
nave been almost prohibitory. The
building of ID blocks of watermains.

Do YOUR BIT IN The
SUNDAY SCHOOLS

Next Sunday is Go-TO- Sunday School
Day throughout the United States
and every one, no matter the denoml-
nation, is requested to attend his or
her church. If you have no church
of your own, if you are pledged to no
particular faith or creed, then go to
some church next Sunday. There is
nothing about a church to hurt any
one and the incalculable good that
may accrue is Of considerable import
ance. Sunday school has an influence
that softens the harshneSs of average
humanity and makes of us better men
and women.
The International Sunday Schools
started this movement in 1914 and
now there are IA states and provinces
celebrating this annual event. There
are 10000 district OF township assocl-
atoms and 1892 county associations
The state and province associations
are GO in number. Each year, 21,00C
associations with a total membership
of 100000 hold their convention
There are 100000 Sunday schools ir
North America, 100000 in the world
and there is a total membership OF
3O,O00,O00 pupils.
Local Sunday schools have made
special preparations to entertain with
appropriate programs those who at
tend. Supt. B. H. Crawford of the
Congregational church, has appointed
invitation and reception committees
Every member Of the classes has beer
commissioned to attend and bring
some friend with them. Buttons will
be affixed to those who bring new
members. There are sixteen classes
in the Congregational Sunday school
These classes are graded as r the
public schools. A special teachers
division makes it possible to handle
pupils Of all ages.
The Methodist Sunday school will
have a special program for Sunday
Supt. Allen Harleman has three strong
classes, each of which will strive to
swell the attendance next Sunday.

tary Training.
Number One

"Ncw, Billie" said his mother, "your
Uncle Dan is coming tomorrow to
spend a week with us on the farm, and
If you want to know about the war,
here's your opportunity. Uncle Dan is
probably one of the best-informed men
In the country" Billie clapped his
hands and gave such a whoop that he
wakened the baby, but what could you
expect of a ffteen-year-old boy who is
q living Interrogation point and wants
TO know about war?
Uncle Dan arrived in due time and
Billie watched for an opportunity. It
came that evening after dinner when
Uncle Dan had lighted a cigar and
taken a seat on the porch.
I'm mighty glad you came, Uncle
Dan. 1 want to talk to you about the
war. We have just put military train
Ing in our township high school, but
we had a hard time to do it. The
Joneses and the Greggs objected. They
said the war wouldn't ONE over here
Grandma Jones said: They amt nc
use to worrit, it will soon blow over
Well, we put the training in just the
same. You orter heard Judge Brow.
nell, the president Of the school board,
do the slackers up. He said unless we
take off our coats and go to it, Ger
many may yet win, and if she does, she
will take over the great British fleet as
D war trophy and compel us to do what
ever she wants to; that she could make
us pay all the cost of the war; the
kaiser could tax us as he pleased and
that we couldn't help ourselves. He
could make every one pay over a part
Of what he earns; that he could make
the farmers pay rent for their own
farms, etc. Now, Uncle, what do you
think Of that?"
"Well, my boy" said Uncle Dan,
FALL that Judge Brownell says might
easily come true and may unless we go
quickly to the aid Of the allies with
large numbers Of men and help them
break the German line. Unless we can
beat the submarines, they may pre-
vent us from getting enough food to
the allies to keep them going. In that
case Germany would win. AS matters
stand today, u greatest need is
trained men. If we had had several
millions Of lei with military training
In Dur industries and on our farms
when the war came, who could
have been called at one for service, ]
do not believe the kaiser would have
forced the war upon us. AS it was, he
had no respect for us, and now we are
In it and must 60 through with it. But
never again must we be caught SO
wholly unprepaIed.
"There is only n safe way" said
Uncle Dan, "and that is to adopt per.
manently universal military training
apply it to every young man who is
physically fit, say in his nineteenth OF
twentieth year. The training can be
carried forward in the United States
training camps that are now being es'
tablished for training men called by
the selective draft. AS soon as these
men vacate these stations, they should
be filled by younger men, and this
should be made the permanent policy
Of the country"
Billie's mother, Mrs. Graham, hat
overheard the conversation. She cam.
out and said: Really, Brother Dan
are You serious as to the dangers O.
our country? If it is as bad as that, Il
Is high time for us to wake up and d.
something about it."

A NO-ACCOUNT DOG.
Louella G. Poole.

/ think we'd better send away
This dog of ours" said Farmer Gray:
He's really of no earthly use;
lie brings in dirt. and scatters loose
Hairs on our clothes and furniture
(Down, Zippo, down, Down, sir!
Down, sirD-
He really isn't worth his keep;
He's certain sure no good for sheep!
No watchdog he. for not bark
He gives at footsteps in the dark
He amt no earthly good nohow,
Though kind and gentle. I'll allow"
But wise old grandma shook her
head:
He's very good to love-" she said.
But Farmer Gray was obdurate;
The cost of living was SO great
II was decreed the dog should go.
And little did the farmer know
That he was planning thus to send
Forth from his home the truest
friend.
oh, where is Wilie?" Where is
he?"
Cried everyone distractedly,
And searched in vain, below, up
stairs
Then out the house they rushed to
q horrors!-their sweet three-year-
old,
His garments clutched in Zippos
hold,
Hung DER the well-curb in such way
The curb bent with his body's sway
| And had not watchful Zippo been
On guard, he would have plunged
within!
Oh. oh. the praise the good dog had
From everyone. all were so glad
That Baby Willie had been found
Without a bruise, but safe and
sound!
We'll. Zippo," then said Farmer
Gray.
Il calculate you'll have to stay
Giving the dog a kind caress,
Whose eyes were raised in grateful
ness:
And grandma stroked his rough
brown head:
I'm sure you're worth our love,
she said.

When Lincoln was still an insig-

casion to travel to a small town to
take charge of a case. 1t was a
drive OF some fourteen miles from
the railroad station to the town inn
where he was to spend the night.
Wet and chilled to the bone he ar
rived at last. but to his dismay
found only small fire built in the
crate. while standing about 1t, so as

Pretty cold, eh?" he asked.
Yes replied Lincoln, las colo

FOOD CONSERVATION.

The national food administration
is determined upon two things: to
force the Wholesale and retail deal
ers~to reason and to encourage the
consumers to use care in buying and
using food in the homes. One hun
dred thousand manufacturers,
wholesalers and distributors of
staple food were yesterday placed
under license for the duration of the
war. Small retailers will not be
licensed but they are subject to the
provisions of the food law, which
forbids speculation, boarding and
excessive profits.
This is done for the protection of
the consumer and is half the bat
tie" The other half the consumer
is asked to do in this way: sign a
food pledge card this week-now-
and live up to the pledge. Use eau
ton in buying and care in using
food in the home. One meatless day
a week in each home means the saw
ing OF thousands of pounds of meat
in Lancaster county, alone-one
meatless day and one wheatless day
will effect great saving.
The food administration expects
everyone to do his part-eat a
plenty, but wisely.

scant justice when it begins by the
exposure of slovenly habit in it's
own compositions aimed at histo-

Future History.
(Spartanburg .Journal)

Short sketch from a history Of
20O1: THE country IN the fall Of
the year of 1917 was in a deplorable
state of affairs. Traitors were in
congress and went unpunished.
wealthy citizens refused TO give their
support to the government by buy
ing Liberty bonds that were offered
them for sale and in South Carolina
the men under arms bought more
bonds than did the civilian popula-
ton. To their lot fell the fighting
and they also paid for it,"

II
lean. plain American, who believes
there is a lot of good In everybody
and everything, and who would
much prefer to scatter a little sun
shine through the instrumentality
Of The Lancaster News rather than
besmirch the columns OF the paper
in the slime of gossip and scandal.
He feels that is an accomplishment,
and a noble accomplishment, to be
able to make one laugh. There is a
lot more to be gained from seeing
and believing in the good side Of
folks than from enlarging their
shortcomings and faults. There is a
lot Of good in everybody. There IS
some bad in some people, but we
prefer to overlook that
The new editor, as matter Of in
formation, is engaged in difficult
task-that Of giving the people of
Lancaster county the best newspaper
Of its kind in the State. There are
many good newspapers in South
Carolina. but it is our desire that
The Lancaster News be made a little
better than the best of them. True
he must blaze the trail and guide it's
course, but, after all, it is the aid
that is given him that makes the pa
per. The patronage of the business
and professional men IN advertising,
job printing and subscriptions keep
the wheels turning, and the moral
support that comes unstinted in
creases the standing of the paper in
the community and adds to it's use
fulness.
We want the people of Lancaster
county to feel that The Lancaster
News is their paper. We want to en-
courage communications from citi-
zens of the county on public ques-
tions. These need not agree with
the views of the editor to gain en-
trance to the columns of the paper.
and the chief stipulation in this con-
nection is that the name Of the wri-
ter be signed to the communication,
not necessarily for publication, but
to show good faith, and the name
will not be printed IL request to that
effect is made.
We aim to publish newspaper
that will be appreciated in the COM
munity; one that will be felt. We
do not propose to be a knocker, nor
a drone. and we intend to print the
news, without coloring, without
modifying, without favor or preju-
dice. A newspaper which does not
do this is not worthy to be called
newspaper, and by so doing. we be-
lieve, The Lancaster News will gain
favor and friends. Personalities
shall never be INDUCED in and per-
sonal character shall never be as
sailed in the discussions in this pa
per, and what we advocate and
champion shall be, to the best oil
our ability as a judge. for the best
