Gypsy SMITH SPEAKS.
Evangelist of World Wide Fame Who
Has Consecrated the Last Two
Years of His Life TO Serving the
Boys in the Trenches Addresses
Sumter People.

A full day given over to rejoicing
and the celebration of the victory oi
civilization over savagery and the
triumph Of liberty over despotlsfn, 'he
people of Sumter-as many OF them
as. could. find a place in Trinity Meth-
odist Church-brought the day to
fitting close Monday night hearing
Gipsy Smith, the famous evangelist.
tell about "the boys over there Ihe
speaker knows the boys of the
trenches and battlefeids OF France
and Flanders, who have fought and
suffered and died for four long ar"
cruel years that the ideals OF liberty
the, decencies of civilization ana inc
achievements of two thousand ys"fs
of Christian culture might not be SUD-
merged by the selfish, cruel ana ma
terialistic paganism of the huns Oh
Germany. And coupled with TINS m
innate knowledge is the tender
sympathy and the loving insight of a
heart, mind and body dedlcated u
unselfish service Gypsy Smith SPOKE
to the greatest audience ever gamer
ed within the walls Of Trinity Churcn
and he made them feel and see what
he had seen and felt "over there
where the boys are. His speech was
essentially an appeal to the nome,
staying folk to repay in some sntd'
measure the debt that they owe 10 Tue
men who had fought the good hgal
and kept the faith against overwhelm-
ing odds, amidst discouragements
and hardly to be borne suffering
and privations, while the stay al
homes lived their accustomed lives IN
comfort and safety. 1t was an ap-
peal that went straight to the hearlS
of all who could be lifted above then
sordid selves by the story OF heroisll
or inspired by the epic Of service tha'
the boys over there built out OF Their
lives, freely given that others mlgl1'
live. There are some things too: SUI
tie to bed escribed and the address OF
Gipsy Smith was of this nature. Those
who heard him know what the writer
means to convey, those who missed
his speech cannot understand or ap-
preciate the impression he made.
Following the address Mayor l.. u
Jennings made the direct and prac-
tical application Of the matter by
calling FOR contributions to the Unltec
War Work fund. Between eight and
nine thousand dollars were pledged
making the total raised by Sumter
county up to last night sometnlne
more than twenty-sev thousanc
dollars towards the quota OF forty
four, thousand dollars. !
Today the committees have been al
work making a thorough canvass O.

riod ends the full amount Will ns
-raised-unless the dollar slackers ars
too numerous and too obstinate to bs
convinced that they owe sometnins
more than wordy praise for the ooy'
who have won the victory on the fleid
of France.

THE VICTORY CELEBRATION.
Sumter Closes a Day Of Rejoicing
With an Evening of Patriotic
Thanksgiving.

Sumter Closes a Day Of Rejoicing
With an Evening of Patriotic
Thanksgiving.
The formal celebration of victory
over the Germans which was ar
ranged for Monday afternoon to
supplement and dignity the riot OF
rejoicing that had possessed the
people of Sumter from early morning
and file. the streets with happy
crowds throughout the day was car
ried out according to programme.
The automobile parade was partici-
pated in by hundreds, of decorated
of four to five thousand assembled on
the school square. Short addresses
were made by Mayor Jennings, Judge
Purdy, Mr.. D. D. Noise and DR.. S.
II. Edmunds. The exercises were
opened with brief talk by Capt. A.
C. Phelps, chairman Of the Council
of Defense The invocation was CT
fered by DR.. J. H. Wilson, pastor OF
the Lutheran Church. All Of the
speeches breathed the spirit of
thanksgiving and patriotism and i'm
pressed the central idea that the vic
tory won in Europe was more vic
tory of ideas and ideals than a tri-
umph of force.
Following the speeches there was a
display of fireworks, introduced by a
big bon fire and the burning of the
kaiser in efigy. In many respects
this celebration was the greatest oc-
casion ever known in Sumter, both in
numbers taking part and the enthus-
iasm evinced.

WHY Advertised Stores Succeed

y
The problem of any proposition seek
ing to win favor of the public, is to
attract attention, to get talked
about. No public entertainment could
get attention simply by passing the
wird about it from mouth to mouth.
That is why people getting up any
'1ind of a public assembly always rush
to the newspapers the first thing.
1t is even more difficult for a man
to get his business talked about if he
refuses to use newspaper space. No
one is interested to help him secure
this publicity. Few people will take
any pains to tell others how good
stuff he may carry. He may have
ever so good a show window, but
people do not stop to look much into
show windows nowadays.
But people always will stop to read
the contents of a newspaper, because
they pick it up in their own homes at
their convenience. Scores of people
will notice an advertisement where
one would stop to look at a show win
dow.

a striking poster drawn by Bergman

The poster exemplitles the modern
method of health education few

sued an official dry but scientifically
accurate bulletin teaching the role o.:
droplet infection in the spread of re
spiratory diseases. The only ones who
would have understood the bulletin
would have been those who already
knew all about the subject. The mai
