Annual Field Day.

1t should not be necessary to call
the attention of the teachers again
to the importance of bringing their
schools in body to Edgefeld Fri
day, April Is, for Field day. The
program is again published in full

eous character is such as to
provide pleasure for everybody who
attends. The trustees should give
the teachers their full cooperation
in their efforts to bring the entire
school to Edgefeld. Let not child
be left at home. The days diver
sion and pleasure will be an oasis
for the children, breaking the monot-
ony OF routine work.

w. c. T. U. Managing the
Chautauqua.

The Chautauqua management of
Edge6eld, very generously offered
to the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union during last week a
proposition that if the organization
would undertake the sale of the
tickets for the Chautauqua, one half
of the profits, after expenses were
paid, would be contributed to the
treasury OF the Y. w. q. A.
The proposition has been accepted,
and a meeting was held on Friday
afternoon at the home of Mrs. A.
E. Padgett to arrange for the prose-
cution of the plans.
Committees have been appointed
to canvass the town, and before this
issue is published, everybody in
Edge6eld and probably Johnston
and Trenton will have been seen
and captured by a chautauqua tag.
On Thursday, every store and Of
flee was visited by members of the
W. G. T. u, and notice was given
that tickets would be on sale Friday

were not willing to wait to see the
board, so anxious were they to Sc
cure seats, and see themselves in i'm
agination seated in crowded, but
delightful environment, listening to
beautiful music and other charming
attractions.
Do not fail to see some member
of the w. G. T. U. at once about
your ticket, or if more convenient
SO at once to Collett and Mitchell's
and secure your seat while there is
yet an opportunity.
The Woman's Christion Tenn
perance Union has Lad peculiar re-
sponsibilities for several years, but
the organization has never asked the
public for assistance except where
they have had value received by
some entertainment for community
uplift. The organization is glad to
join hands with the Chautauqua idea
and help to make it a success and
also to add to the W. =. T. q. trea-

WOMAN'S BEST ERA
CHANGE WROUGHT BY INDIE
PENDENcE AS WAGE GARNER.
She Always Worked, but Until Recent
Iy the Money All Went into Fa-
theirs Pocket as His Le-
gal Right.

1t was just a little piece of news
paper poetry published on the editorial
page. Doubtless many thousands read
it, for it was well phrased. Probably
most of the men who read it were
pleased, FOR it was an appeal to mems
chivalry and protection, a confession
of feminine weakness and self-insuf-
ticiency.
The burden of the poem was a faint
wall that women were forced to leave
the home where it was alleged they
all wanted to stay, and TO become
wage earners. Men were appealed to
to treat the unhappy creatures kindly
and make up TO them by politeness
what they had lost when they ceased
to be domestic workers.
1t is little hard on those brave
pioneer women who made it possible
for the girl of today to get job, who
forced open the colleges that women
might educate themselves for business
and the professions, TO be thanked in
terms like these.
Surely they never expected that
when the time came when women
would have their choice, at good pay,
of the work they should do, that they
would sigh over the necessity of work
ing.
The trouble with the business girl
who thinks she would be better off at
home embroidering doilies, is that she
does not know that work has always
been the portion of women. Long be-
fore there was factory or a typewrit-
er or a power-driven machine women
worked for wages. They had to. The
workingman never supported his fam
lily. He was never able to support
them.
The difference between then and
now is that in the old days women did
not collect their own wages. The mon
ey went into fathers pocket. He had
a legal right to the services Of his wife
| and children, and thought he had also
a moral right to whatever they earned.
There has never been a time in his
tory when women were as happily sit
uated as now. And the change has
been wrought chiefly by the fact that
women are increasingly becoming in
| dependent wage earners. They are in
a position now to marry whom they
please, whether the man has money or
not They can grow and develop to
the very limit of their capacity. They
are as free as women have never be-
fore been free.
The woman who finds the business
world uncongenial is free to go into
domestic service, unless she is too
much of a snob. But the chances OF
living a parasitic life of sentimental
idleness are as slim now as in the
earliest Victorian times.

Birthday of Byron.

Recently occurred the one hundred
and twenty-ninth anniversary of the
birth of Lord Byron. The poets fam
fly, on the paternal side, traced its
origin back to the time of William the
Conqueror, and on his mothers side
he was related to the royal family OF
Scotland. His father, Capt. John By
ron of the Guards, was so notorious
for his gaIlantries and recklessness
that he received the nickname OF
Mad Jack" After squandering the In
heritance of his wife, Mad Jack" de-
serted her, and died few years after
the birth of George Gordon Noel, who
early became Lord Byron through the
death without issue of his grand
uncle, the fifth Lord Byron. He con-
tributed some notable works to htera-
ture and introduced a style of roman
tic poetry that was to set the fashion
for many a day.

Bobby Was "Fixed" for the Job.

Jimmy had seen steeple climber in
action, and upon reaching homeahe i'm
mediately tried to initiate the feats he
had seen. Picking out large tree, he
began to climb up it's rough trunk, but
ere he had gone his height his small
hands loosened their hold upon the
scaly bark and he came to earth amid
a shower of brilliant stars. Manfully
controlling his ready tears, he walked
thoughtfully toward the house, con-
scious of rapidly growing bump i'm
mediately under his cap. AS he en-
tered and passed the pantry door he
spied his smaller brother busily en-
gagged in transferring the contents Of
a jam jar into his tiny stomach. AL
Jimmy surveyed his besmeared and
sticky little brother he smiled through
his tears and said: See, whiz! Bet

Residential SectioneHit.

First reports last night about the
storm which swept Newcastle, Ind, said
the town had been wiped out. These
reports seemed to be exaggerated.
From Muncie and Anderson, Ind,
and other surrounding towns came
word that about thirty persons had
been killed. Indianapolis, where state
officials were anxiously waiting for
word of the extent of the disaster, for
hours was without definite informa-
ton.
Telegraphic reports from the capital
were meager. and said:
Several persons were killed and
hundreds injured, and more than 200
houses were destroyed"
An hour after the first reports the
telegraph wires carried the news that
the tornado passed around the bust
ness section of the town and laid waste
the residential sections.
Newcastle has population Of 5000.
Troops Sent to Scene.
National Guard troops from Indian
apolis and Muncie were hurried TO the
scene at the request of the mayor of
Newcastle.
The cyclone was accompanied by q
heavy rain, and the suffering among
the women and children who were rem
dereds homeless was intense.

But his pet relaxation was reminis-
cence. His own experience had been
wide, he knew everybody in his part

his telling were sometimes colOred. by
his rich Imagination, the information
he could give was often of the great
est value-as Dave Law knew.

"Tell me something about Tad Lewis"
Blaze looked up quickly. what do
you want to kn0w?"
Anything. Everything"
''Tad owns right nice ranch be-
tween here and Las Palmas," Blaze
said cautiously.
Paloma broke out impatiently. ''Why
don't you say what you think?'' Then
to Dave: ''Tad Lewis is a bad neigh
Dor, and always has been. There's a
ford on his place, and we think he
knows more about wet cattle than
he cares to fell"

You can't call Ed Austin one of our

'They claim that arms are being
smuggled across TO the rebels, Dave,

/, Now, Paloma," her father remon-
strated mildly. '"The regulars and the
river guards watched Lewis ranch till
the embargo was lifted, and they never
saw anything"
II believe Austin is strong rebel
sympathizer," Law ventured.
Sure! And him and the Lewis ont
fit are amigos. If you go pirootin'

STRIKES AT
GERMAN ACTIVITIES

Rev. George McGinnis of Chicago,
speaking yesterday morning at the
First Baptist church, Moline, said that
he feared German activities in Amer
lea more than he did German shells
and bullets, Rev MIR McGinnis de-
nounced the German-American alli-

That organization, he asserted, stood
primarily for two things Berlin pro-

American people the German Ian

1t has been the chief exponent Of kais-
erism in America. It not only toadied
to the kaiser and preached his world
gospel, but was the organization
through which the kaiser was seeking
to handcuff America and prevent her
playing her part in the world war
against autocracy.
THE German American alliance
was willing to wreck America rather
than prevent the carrying out of or
ders from Berlin. President Wilson
