on Turkey was at an end and that
the Allies, like the Germans, should
not treat peace pacts as mere "piec-

The above official telegram receiv-
ed here Monday morning conveyed
the sad announcement of the death
of Eezzie Griffis. For the past two
weeks his relatives and friends have
been anxious about him. He wrote
his parents that he had been wounded
in action and that his left leg had
been amputated above the knee in a
British hospital. He also received
wound in his right thigh. One of the
hospital attendants wrote Mr.. and
Mrs. Grifis several letters, subse-l
quent to Hezzie's letter, in which he
held out practically no hope of his
recovery. To the last letter from this
official, under date of October 80, a,
foot note appended was to this effect;
"Hezzie sends his love to all" In his
last moments of suffering, stranger,
among strangers, he thought of the,
loved ones back home and sent them
a message of love.
The hearts of the Edgefeld people
go out to the members ofthis grief
stricken family. Hezzie, so far as in
formation has been received up to
this time, is the first Edgefeld coun-
ty boy to sacrifice his life for his
country upon foreign soil. His death
adds another gold star to the county
service flag that will soon be raised
at Edgefeld in honor of the men
who have gone to the front from this
county. 1t is probable that Hezzie's
body was inferred in France, as hos
tilities had not ceased at the time of
his death. But as soon as practicable,
the government will have the body
brought to America and delivered to
his parents. The editor of The Ad-
vertiser at the request of Mr.. and
Mrs. Grifis, has already taken up the
mater of bringing his body home with
the War Department. The loved ones
have the assurance that he gave up
his life in holy cause and tat it is
an honor to be the father and mother
of such a brave, selfsacrifcing boy
one whose character was spotless and
whose habits were exemplary in the
highest degree.
Hezzie Grifis died not only for the
home which he loved but he fought
and died for every home and every
man. woman and child in Edgefeld
county, and for many generations to
come his memory will be precious to
all, of our people.

Be Own DESIGNER
Americas SLOGAN


charges, as the dress1nakers and shops.
French Women and Clothes.
Soon these women will be trained
into the same kind of power that has
governed France for 300 years. The
French dressmakers do not govern the
styles in Paris; it is done by the wom-
en- who wear the clothes. They are
artists; they are skilled in the science
of clothes, and it is their insistence
upon changes and peculiarities, their
experimentation in new things, which
guides the designing world into sure
groove of success.
Mark my words, we are going to
get that class over here through the
war. A whole new scheme of things
in apparel has broken loose among
women. When they begin to get more
and more exacting about variety, when
they learn how to cater to their own
types, and when they suggest to de-
signers who have heretofore been in
accessible and naughty, then we will
create our own fashions, and not until
then.
There will always be large seq
ment of women who will take the de-
signer's word on fashions, their suit
ability and their popularity, but this
grows smaller each month, under pres
sure of certain set of circumstances
that are overturning the usual Sched-
ule of life.
You can see for yourself how the
stimulation will extend to all the quar-
tiers of trade. If women say to high
priced dressmaker that they don't want
such and such a gown, because it is
repeated on all sides and is unsuited
to their type, then the dressmaker
must design something that is suitable
and has character, or she will lose her
trade.
France cannot fear competition. She
approves of intelligent cooperation
and until we give her that we will
always be in the hands of what she
calls the third party; we will be
dressed through the judgment of buy
ers. who have brought from France
models that they thought would be
popular ia America.
No One Fashion Dominates.
Do not expect any Of us who write
of fashions, therefore, to be consistent
We are telling the news from day to
day as we know it. 1t is quite useless
to prCphesy. 1t is silly to say that any
one fashion dominates. If we tell you
that gowns are buttoned up the back,
| and then say that we have gone back
to primitive drapery in which no fhsten-
ings are used, we are not stumbling
awkwardly. We are merely rejecting
the fact that one woman wears one
thing, while another wears something
else. This should help you in your
own scheme of seasonahle costumery.
To get down to the bare bone of
| news, Lewis, the milliner of Paris, has
! exploited for the summer resorts hats
with the largest brims that have ever
been worn. If women were in danger
of having papal decree issued against
| them for wearing obstructive fashions,
as they did when they defied the
| church and wore the hennin, they
would surely merit it this summer In
| these hats.

d
fYed, but never have they seemed to
auctuate more fuently and perversely
than now. 1t does not need a DiogeneS
with a lantern, asserts foremost fash
ion writer, to find the reason for this
condition. Certain raw materials are
lacking; labor grows scarcer every mo-
ment, although it shouldn't with so
many women to be employed, and the
designers put out in the morning what
wen they dream of at night.
To the observer these days are fas-
chatting. To the woman who thinks
she has settled the question of clothes
for an entire seas by buying her cos
tumes at the beginning of it, the stu
alton is not only perplexing but irri-
tating.
It is quite useless for the world to
30 against human nature by preaching
Standardization of apparel or food. We
will not eat the same dishes three
times a day 365 days in the year, and
we will not wear the same gown ten
hours a day for twelve months. If we
SAINT get raw materials to diversity our
so0d and apparel, at least we can slim
llate the appetite and the eyes by mix
ing what we have into new forms.
Everyone Plays on Fashions.
Viewed from the airplane point of
view, it looks as if the entire world
OF women will attempt to bring out
something new in clothes for them
selves or for their neighbors.
This does not mean that they have
ceased to work for the Red Cross. 1t
only means that such work has in
tensifed their desire to dress well be-
fore the public, and has brought them
into such an active current of air that
they see new things and think of them
with brains that might have been al
most atrophied from inaction before
the war. Stimulate a brain in one di-
rection, you know, and it reacts in all
directions.
Stimulation is the heart and soul of
life, and it is undoubtedly the means
of producing the very best kind of
rational dressing. Tt will cause Won
an to rebel against looking as if she
belonged TO procession in which every
member must dress alike. 1t kindleS
a flame in the brain, which heats it up
and makes it respond to whatever
there is in it of creative power.
Therefore, every woman becomes her
own designer. She no longer goes to
a shop and takes the gown that she is
assured everyone is buying" Once
she regarded that phrase as the de-
cree of power; today she listens to it
with a shrug of her shoulders ard
USUALLY insists that that's the last gown
she wants to buy.
Heretofore the woman with slender
opportunities and rare contact with the
outside world chose her clothes blind

Today she is quite worldly wise

Senator Brandegee of Connecticut.
The Connecticut senator arrayed him.
self against practically all of his col
leagues recently by saying that there
is no such thing as "the right to vote"
Brandegee held that it was not right
but a privilege. He stood just about
alone on that proposition, but found
more of his colleagues agreeing with
him few minutes later when he as
serted that "ali this talk about striking
the shackles and the manacles from
the limbs of the enslaved women Of
this country is perfect tommy-rot."

some observations in the house when

AS the woman suffrage program adj
vanceS there is every indication that
women are going to assert their rights
TO official positions. A recent state
ment from the National WOman's
Trade Union league, announcing the
appointment ~Of Il woman as the assist
ant chief of the new woman's bureau
IN the department of labor, pointed out
that until traditions are broken, and
men acquire the habit of putting wom-
en in administrative and cOnsUltive POI
Bitions as readily and as frequently as
they put men in such places, the wom-
ans bureau has big work cut out for
It." The new appOintee also insists
upon equal pay for equal work by
women and men. That has been the
general rule in employment in the gov
eminent departments.

The farmer has lot of friends

upon an advance of 30 cents bHshel

a vote of $50 to 100 TO one OF ~ cents
a bushel. OF course this action was
not taken without considerable OPPOSE
ton. Congressman Stafford OF Wlscon-
sin declared that there is no class oi
people ia America who have been behe-
flied more as result of this war than
have the farmers"
This statement aroused Congressman
