resources OF time. skill and energy,
working day and night without regard
to physical fatigue to give every pos
sible relief. And with none the lesss
disregard of self the first two pro-
fessional nurses went the complete
rounds of town and community, day
and night, giving relief as far as p-s ..
sible. When we make special mention
of these first, it is in no sense a fail
ure to appreciate the valuable ser
vices of these who came later. Also
for the splendid services of physi-
clans sent by the government will b,
remembered in a highly appreciative
way by the people of Dillon
One of the finest things in connec-
tion with the battle against the
epidemic was the volunteer enlistment
Of men and women, especially a num-
ber of young ladies. for services in
nursing and general relief, which
meant severe drain upon vitality and
exposure to the disease. Another
splendid service which multiplied the
aids of professional and amateur nur
ses, the distribution of nourishment,
and the efficiency of the drug stores
was the work of the high school boys
and others day and night as chauf-
fers. Some of these had themselves
just recovered from the epidemic and
in rendering this service ran great
risk in exposure of themselves. And
equal acknowledgment should be Civ
Ell to the many kinds of services given
by high school girls in mask making,
distribution of food, and many other
services.
Another most important service was
given by the women, individually and
in semi-organized capacity. in prepar-
ing just the kind Of nourishment, one
OF the most important aids to wealth
ering the flu, which patients needed
and could not otherwise under exist
ing circumstances have secured. for
any patient in the community whose
need was known. Also many indivi-
duals should be thanked for the con-
:ribution of raw material for this
nOuriShment.
The valuable services Of tho bust
ness men of the town. individually
and in organized capacity should re
ceive grateful acknowledgement, their
efforts to meet every demand made
upon them for supplies, their will
lingness to submit to strict quara-

tine regulations. the sending OF their
clerks to the Red Cross Headquarters
Tor special services. and the giving of
much of their own time to many
forms of special services which the
writer was in position to observe.
Too much praise cannot be given
to the efficient relief work and care
of the hospital evolved to meet the
needs of the occasion, to CD the
men and women who conceived the
idea and put it into immediate execu-
ton, CD to the owners of the build
ing who gave it for this service, (3)
to the many individual contributions
in the way of equipment and other
things for the comfort and cheer Of
the patients, ca especially the most
efficient management Of the lady in
charge and her helpers. AS a re-
cipient of this splendid hospital SER
vice it is difficult for the writer to
stop with mere Iassing acknowledge
ment.
The great work OF the Red Cross
organization which, in keeping with
the history OF this great organization
for the relief of human suffering, was
prompt to get into efficient working
capacity to systematic relief work,
has been concrete example to many
who did not know of the humanitar-
ian meaning of Red Cross work 1t is
good for us all that we could have
this exemplification under own eyes.
Certainly the people of Dillon and
community have a deep sense of ap-
probation OF the work of this organ
ization in this crisis. Especial mention
should be made of the efficient, un-
tiring, and unselfish work of those
delegated by the organization to sys-
tematize the work by operating a kind
patch. The recognition of the value Of
this work was shown in the habit soon
formed of calling upon that agency
for any and all kinds Of services and
aids.
Perhaps there were other services
rendered in the battle which may
not be included i'm this enumeration.
If so, even though the public may
now know them. the recipients of the
aids will not forget them. and there
is the satisfaction which comes from
ones having done to some degree at
least his bit of human kindness.

The People of Dillon Battling Against
Influen n.

Influenza Is on is last legs in
Dillon and the country generally, we
hope. even as are the Huns in Europe
The writer does not recall either from
memory or from history a SD wide
spread, deadly, and devitalizing epi-
demic in this country of ours as has
been this scourge of influenza In
twenty four states it secured wide
spread foothold. In several of our i,r
gest cities there were no enough cof
fins for the dead, many graves were
the resting places of five or six dead
bodies each, and in some instances the
dead were covered by aid of steam
shovels. During several days the fa-
talities in our army camps were great
trenches.
Reports of the greater malignity
and death toll in other states, sec
tions and cities should suggest to
the people of Dillon and community
an attitude of thankfulness that we
escaped with so light toll even as
we mourn the passing of so many our
y,
brothers, sisters. husbands, wives, use
full business men and citizens, those
whom the community would sorely
miss even in normal times and now
much the more when so many cap
able men and women have been taken
across the seas TO say the ravages
of the Huns.
Such plaques are the natural by
products of war, which i'm brineing
into close proximity all classes and
conditions of people brings also TO
ge'her all the deadly germs which
have developed to prey upon the
various organs of the human organ
ism. From such natural causes, it
seems to the writer, such epidemics
come rather than that they are a
providental visitation.
But out of such crises Providence
iiits humanity upon higher planes o.
human kindness. There comes the
greater realization of the great fact
of social and human solidarity, a
deepened sensitivity to the spirit OF
human brotherhood, of the great so
cial necessity for cooperation. these
the finest fruits and the truest meas.
ure of civilization.
1t is the purpose of the writer in
this article to call attention to this
compensatire by-product Of our very
costly epidemic. costly in the toll of
llVes, not to mention other aspects of
cost. l am sure that all feel the
spiritual uplift of it; several have
made mention of just this feeling. To
one who could look at the battle
which the people of Dillon have made
TO stop the ravages of the plague and
10 give relief 10 those who were in
lts grip. | am sure it has seemed
a splendid example of community
sympathy, cooperation and efficiency.

LIVERPOOL s WELCOME
 ID AMERICAN SOLDIERS

LIVERPOOL, Feb. 20 (by maiD - This building is a symbol of the close bond of fellowship that exists between the peoples of the EngIish-speaking race" said the lord mayor of Liver pool in opening here this week the new Stars and Stripes Hut of the American Young Mems Christian As sociation. The new club house, situ- ated in Lord street, is both commodi- ous in size and admirably equipped. The funds for it's erection were pro- vided by both British and American residents.
 Liverpool has been very happy" host to so many American soldiers during the past few months. Through

this club house we hope henceforth to be able to show our feeling toward these temporary visitors little more adequately than heretofore.
 When the United States decided to throw her lot into the war, the en- tente countries were filled with joy, and nowhere, I think was this feeling so abounding as in Liverpool. It was not merely friendship however, nor was it merely because of Americas lmmeasurable wealth and resources that We welcomed her. It was rather that for three years she had been in the position of an impartial jury in this conflict, and now she had given her verdict, uninfluenced by pressure, in favor of the cause for which we had been fighting"
 R. ". Ewing, general secretary of of the Young Mems Christian Associa- tion, responded. q beg leave to ex- press to you people of Liverpool, on behalf of all my countrymen of the United States, our gratitude for the kindly reception which you have given to the American troops on their ar rival in England We almost feel that you have been too generous, for Americans, above all, do not expect that their young men shall have any thing more than the young men of the other allied forces are getting. We want to take our share, not only in the fighting but in all the sufferings and privations which war inevitably entails. We trust that the comrade- ship and good fellowship which the war has awakened will bring us,

CALIFORNIA TRACTOR SHOW PROVES ID
 BE HUGE SUCCESS

| Rivaling even the so-called ina last summer, the Third Annual Trac- | tor Demonstration of the Traction En- | zine and Implement Dealers Associa- | tion of Southern California came to a | close last Sunday afternoon at the La ] Brea ranch, in the city limits of Los 1 Angeles.
 Not alone in the number of exhibit l ing tractors and in the accompanying exposition of motor trucks. accessories | and agricultural implements did the demonstration equal, if not surpass, it's | eastern prototypes. but in the matter l of business done it far exceeded the most sanguine expectations of its pro-
 motors. President O. H. Stevens is authority for the statement that the aggregate of business done during the | six days of the demonstration was up-
 wards of a million and a quarter dol | lars.
 Last year the attendance was some thing under 100000; this year the esti-
 mated attendance was surely in excess
 of 150,000. There being no admission
 fees, it was difficult to make a positive
 statement on this point; but on all six l days the square mile section of ground
 in the western suburbs of Los Angeles
 was constantly crowded, and on the last two days the attendance was esti-
 mated to be in the neighborhood of
 75.000. The number of out of-town
 ranchmen in attendance was remark
 able, representatives being present | from every section of southern Cali fornia, Arizona and Nevada. Visiting otN
 numbers. admitted that last summers
 national affair at Salina, Kan, was less imposing in the matter Of crowds, num-
 Der of exhibitors, extent of ground cov-
 cred and as an actual test of the merits | of the forty-four different makes of | tractors which were on the field dur | ing the week. represented by no fewer
 than 160 machines of varying size and l power.
 AS test of the power of the trac- | tors and the strength and hitch of the
 myriads of farming tools which they
 drew it is doubtful If there was ever | a more exacting demonstration of the rapid strides that are now being made
 by the tractor industry. The soil
 worked was hard-b baked oil adobe,
 and the clods turned up more nearly
 resembled bituminous coal than earth designed for cultivation The strain
 on the machines and implements was something out of the ordinary-much different from that encountered at Sa- lima and in other sections of the coun-
 try where rain falls in appreciable quantities at more or less regular in tervals, and where winter freezes dis integrate the soil and render it easily
 workable. The La Brea field has not
 had half-inch of rain on it during
 the past six months, and the resistance
 1t offered to the tractors justified the
