Many villages back of the German

They probably are evidence that the

DIRECT SHOWER"
FUR RED CROSS IN
SUMTER THIS WEEK
ARTICLES NEEDED INCLUDE
PRACTICALLY EVERY KIND OF
LINEN AND DIMENSIONS FOR
PIECES DESIRED ARE GIVEN In
INTERVIEW GRANTED BY
STEPHEN PACE TODAY.

Stephen Pace. chairman of the
Anne ious and Sumter County Red
Cross chapter, has arranged for a
Linen Shower" to be given for suffer
els in France in this county, this
shower to be under the direction OF
Mrs. S. H. MsKee, who is in charge
of the woman's work being done by
the chapter.
In talking with The Times Recorder
regarding the appeal yesterday, Chair
man Pace said:
"The Red Cross commissioner for
France has cabled that the hospitals
are in urgent need of the following
supplies 1,25O,OOO bath towels, $780,
600 hand towels, 1,250,O0O handker-
chiefs, $4,000 napkins, 100000
sheets.
1T is exceedingly difficult, almost
impossible, to secure these articles in
large quantities in the open market
at any reasonable price today, and
what is known as the Linen Shower
is now being conducted all over the
United States for the purpose of sup
plying these needed articles, which
are to be used and are in immediate
demand by our own boys who are
wounded in the battles now raging in
France.
The linen shower will begin in
this county under the supervision of
Mrs. S. H. Mckee, director of WOman's
Work for the Americas and Sumter
County Red Cross Chapter, on Mon
day, October 7th, and will continue
until the Chapters allotment has be
received.
The articles wanted should be new
or substantially new, and should be
of strong rather than fine texture, and
each article must be Numbered be-
fore shipped The approximate di-
mansions should be as follows: Bath
towels, 10 by SO inches. hand towels,
IS by 80 inches. handkerchief, Is by
IS inches, napkins, IA by IA inches,
sheets "a by 1O2 inches. The sheets
should be heavy unbleached muslin,
finished with 2 inch hem at top and
inch hem at bottom In every case
possible it would be best to buy the
unbleached muslin and make the
sheets according to these require
ments."
It is hoped that every householder
in this county will have part il
this Linen Shower" and once again
show that the American people
through the Red Cross, can fill every
need for relief and comfort to oul
boys.

ROYAL ARcANuM.

The following paragraphs will be of Interest to members of the Royal Arcanufn:
 A report Of the insurance commits sioners of Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York, made jointly, shows that the Royal Arcanum of Massa- ehusetts is. 99 per cent solvent and that there is no justification for the dissolution of the organization or for a receivership.
 After stating that d strain upon the society was caused by the rerating or call for increased assessments, one of the privileges of fraternal organ- lzation, and necessary for those es- abolished some years ago when ade- uuate rates for the development of the business were not required. the in- surance commissioners say:
 Persons ignorant of insurance principles make trouble and infiict damage. They ignore the fact that 1t is no trifiing thing to interfere with the operation of a. society like the Ar eanurn with 175,0e0 members, who are carrying nlore than s3o0, ,000 of in- sulance by mutual agreement, and are trying to devise means to render eer- tain the payment of those obligations hs they mature. no matter how far in the future"
 The Royal Arcanum was incorporat- ed in 1877 and has 1,712 councils in s2 states-the District of Columbia and Canada-thirty-t two grand cotir- eils, one supreme council and claims membership of 177.235. with assets of s4,7S9, ,4S4.10 and liabilities of $751; l62.16.
 The commissioners say the society hes been honestly and efficiently managed; the necessity of an inA crease in the rates in 1916 is proved that assessments being collected are equitable, and that the court pro- ceedings are to be deplored.

COUNTY AGENT TO
 ASSIST Is FARM SURVEY
Census To Be Taken During Period
 March 25-ApriI 1.

Organization of the forces that will make farm survey of Connecticut has been started b ythe State Council of Defense with the appointment of county agents of farm bureaus as the country supervisors and also their as- sistants. The period designated for the survey is from March 25 to April 1.
 A committee of census takers will be appointed by the local war bureaus or town committees of the State Coun- eil of Defense from among the practi- cal farmers in each town. Informa- ton to be gathered in the agricultural survey, relates to the area of each farm, the crops in 1917, the crops planned for 1918, stock on hand, types Of farm machinery on hand and esti- mated days it can be operated for neighbors, and under the heading of employees, the number of additional employees needed during the entire summer, and the number of short time employees needed for haying and other harvesting purposes.
 Connecticut has not had an agrieul- tural survey since 1S45. The Litch- field County farm survey authorized by the State Council of Defense and conducted last month was such a sue cess that it will be used as model by the other counties. The value of the agricultural census is estimated as two-feld. First, it's object will be to bring about increased food production for the winning of the war and second it will supply the state with useful statistical information.
 Each assistant supervisor has been appointed to direct the campaign in not more than two towns. Supervisors and assistants will meet Thursday March 21 in their respective county farm bureau headquarters to decide upon the campaign methods to be fol- lowed in their separate counties.
 The chairman of the war bureau or town committee will be responsible for the survey taken in his town. He will have the appointment of the commit tee of census takers. The latter will receive their instructions and survey blanks from the assistant supervisors The census of the thousands of farms in the state will then proceed.

GOVERNOR APPEALS TO
 e BoYs OF STATE
Urges Them to Enroll in the U. s.
 Boys Working Reserve.


 Governor Marcus H. FIoiconnb on Tuesday appealed to the boys of Conn ecticut to make their summer vaca- tion count in the winning of the war by enrolling in the United States Boys Working Reserve. Boys between the ages of 16 and 21 are being enrolled this week for war emergency work, Principally on the farms, and schools, Y. NJ. c. As and other institutions are acting as enrolling agencies.
 The Governors letter foiiows:- To the Boys of Connecticut:
 There is a shortage of labor all over our country because of men being withdrawn from their regular oceapa- tions by the titit5ea Of war. The short age in Connecticut is particularly acute on account ef the increased de- n1and for workers ifl munitions fac. tories. You, and you only, can fill the gaps. You can serve best in agricu1- tura1 occupations by enrolling in the United States Boys Working Reserve.
 ''The State of Connecticut must not depend upon others for anything that can be produced within it's borders. It is not putting 1t too strongly to say that every ablebodied boy who spends his summer in idleness or pleasure seeking is a stacker, and unworthy of the name American. There will be times when you'll be weary and lame, but, when you are, think of the older brothers in France fighting to pre- serve your country and it's ideals for lyea, and then go back to your work with a smile on your face, song on your lips and determination in your heart. The eyes of this grand old Commonwealth are upon you s- Conn., edtieut expects every boy to dc his duty. You are needed now in the ranks lof the United States Boys Working Reserve.
