Gross drive which is to be held in the

chairman for this county, and !. large
number OF representatives were pres
ent. In addition to the regular bust
ness meeting light lunch was served
by the ladies of the local chapter.
Chairman Todd, in a brief address.
pointed out the salient features of the
campaign and stressed the need of
organized effort. He said that although
me nation was being asked for $780,
ooo,ooO it was hoped and expected that
this sum would be largely oversub-
scribed because when the campaign
was outlined by the national commit
tee 1t was not foreseen that greater de-
mands would be made on the Red
cross on account of the speeding up
.! lnc war program. He referred TO
the increased number Of troOps that

pointed out that the increase of trooDs
necessitatcd an increase in the helm
which the Red Cross was called upon
to give. Informal remarks were made
: by other representatives in attendance
with the result that an understanding
or the whole program was arrived at
The county's apportionment is di-
Vided into two amounts, one to the
Lamens chapter and one 10 the Clin-
ton chapter. The Laurens chapter
with its auxiliaries and communities
Is apportioned approximately $4,000
and the Clinton chapter approximate
ly $4,000. At the meeting last night
tne apDortionments for the various
LaurcnS units was read out and as
signed to the representatives present.
1t Will be noted that in some instances
the apportionmcnt this time is less

while that of others Is somewhat moro.

Were Keen.

exercises and defamation held Fri
day afternoon and night were not as
largely attended as in past years, nor
was the number Of contestants as
large. However, the contests on the
llcld and on the rostrum were NOR
ltoriuS and deserved hcarticr suppor,
from those interested in school mat
ters. The majority of the honors of
the day were captured by the Laurcns
high school though the other schools
were creditably represented. In the
athletic contests only three schools
were represented. viz: Laurcns. Clin-
ton and Shiloh. Laurcns led the other
TWO schools in the total number of

THERE STILL, REMAINS MUCH
WORK FOR, THE RED CROSS

"There will be much distress in the
world that can not be met by volun-
tary organizations. Governments
themselves must bear the chief bur-
den, and I am confident cooperation
between the governments may be re-
lied upon in an endeavor to meet this
wholesale work of relief which will be
needed.
"There will be the necessity for
supplementary work which Red Cross
organizations thruout the world can do
and must do. The American Red
Cross must be kept strong.
Gas far as can now be foreseen
there will be no further occasion for
campaigns for Red Cross funds. Dur
ing the week. before Christmas there
is to be roll call, giving every citizen
an opportunity to register as mem
Der of the volunteer humanitarian
agency for the American people,
which is recognized thruout the world
as the American Red Cross. This
membership involves no commitment
beyond the payment of one dollar"

More Novelties

Constantly novelties are popping up.
Now dame fashion has decided that
with blouses of dark colored Georgette
crepe one must have an equally dark
camisole. And Immediately her de-
mand was satisfied; and now we have
magenta, black and violet camisoles on
the market. 1t is rather clever idea
to wear a contrasting color under Che
blouse. But one must know colors
and be sure that they are in perfect
harmony, for if not the result would
be a calamity. For instance very
attractive color combination would be
a dark blue blouse worn over rose
madden, which would give the effect
Of violet. Great care must. be eXerted
and much consideration given to the
complexion of the wearer. These
heavy colors are trying to wear, that
is, more trying than the pastel shades,
and unless one studies ones possibili-
ties most disastrous result is bound

SilvertOne a Popular Material

Of course the materials used in the
development of these coats are heavy,
durable stuffs. Duvetyn is used ex
tensively, and close rival is velour.
But at the top is the new fabric which
has been introduced on the market but
recently. Silvertone it is named, and
it is indeed one of the most beautiful
materials that has been seen for a
long time. AS the gorgeousness of the
material satisfies the taste for the Law
ish, very little trimming is needed.
Fur usually appears at the collar and
on the cuffs, and this enhances the
beauty of the already beautiful wrap.
Hugh buttons are used ,sparingly, real

NO LONGER DEPENDENT ON
GERMANY FOR POTASH

Of the German potash imported in
to the United Kindom before the war,
about one-forth was used in agricul-
ture. but the prediction of German
papers that British agriculture would
be greatly damaged by the stoppage
of the supply from Germany has not
heen verified. New domestic sources
of supply have been utilized, chief of
which is the dust of blast furnaces.
Another big source of supply has been
found in the washing of greasy wool,
and another available one is the dust
and fumes of cement kilns.
