The little people of the Bapt-
ist Sunday School in Florence had
their innings last Sunday in the
carrying out Of the program pre-
pared for Missionary Day exer-
cises, the object Of which was to
aid the Foreign and the Home
Mission causes in the state and in
foreign lands. Quite neat sum
Of money was raised for such pur-
pose as the result Of the efforts
Of these young Sunday School
people; and each did remarkably
well in his and her part in the
performance. Much credit was
due to The good ladies who so pa
tiently trained them for the ex-
ercises.

The whole country at present
is preparing for the fifth Liberty
Loan drive, which if successful
we believe will be the last. The
exact amount of the loan and rate
Of interest have not been made
public, but it will be we'll for us
to be thoroughly organized when
this information reaches us that
we may get to work at once. In
many ways this is the most i'm
portant of any loan and it's sue
cess means much to the country.
The war is not over and so long
as we are at war we must have
money. 1t was the rapid and
stupendous preparation that A
merica made for this war as much
as the fighting Of our men that
whipped Germany. Things done
so quickly, necessarily are done
in a manner extravagantly so our
debt is enormous. The Federal
Banks are carrying large govern
ment papers and we must pay
them the money. If we do not they
will not be in position to lend
money to business which must
have money and credit. If we put
our money in bonds we spend less
for luxury thereby helping to re-
duce the high cost of living. We
are told that war work has be-
come unpopular. Possibly it has,
but we are not working for popu-
larity or credit, but simply to do
our duty until the end. Let US
then not be faint Of heart, but be-
come enthused and put our coun-
ty over in selling Liberty Bonds.
There will be some changes
made in the arrangement of the
coming drive. There will be four
beat chairmen who will appoint
their assistants in their respec-
tive beats and these beat chair
men will report to the county
chairman. Many medals have
been made by The government
from captured German helmets
which will be given to Liberty
Loan workers where successful.
Let us put our hands to the work
and go forward.
Following is a list of those
| ask to serve as beat chairmen.
Please appoint your beat workers
and get busy at once.

TO be possessed of head of heavy,

merely a matter of using a little
Danderine.
It is easy and inexpensive to have

Danderine now--all drug stores rec
ommend it-apply a little as direct
ed. and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance of abundance,
freshness, fluffiness and an incom-

Girls From Munitions
Factories Slow to Return
to Domestic Service.

England is facing an after-the
servant problem that is much more
exacting than any that disturbs the
United States, where conditions
have been gradually reaching point
at which the cook and housemaid,
who perform indefinite tasks during
unlimited hours, fortunately are be-
coming extinct types of workers.
In London domestic service is
now organized and the eight-hour-
day has been decreed, much to the
discomfort of householders. Girls
who have three or four years ex-
perience as employees in inunition
plants are slow to return to their
old labors, for they have learned
the meaning of specialized tasks and
exact hours. According to reports
received by the United States De-
partment of Labor, the owners of
fine residences, many of which have
been occupied for war needs, find
it more difficult to procure women
than to obtain men for domestic
service. 1t is demonstrated that
buffers and footmen who have been
through the war are glad to re-
turn to the old routine, while the
maids who have known the delights
if independence resist the living
in" system which limits their free
dom.
Considerable controversy has
been caused in England by the &C
ton of the Women's international
league in sending half million rub
Der nipples to Germany for German
babies.
Theatrical organizations have
pledged themselves to fill all vacan-
cies whenever possible by men and
women who have served their eoun-
try in army, navy, marine corps or
Red Cross work.

To Prove God
Hates Women
Sufragists Say That Opposition
Consists of Crooks. Gamblers
and Every Vicious Gang
In Hawai-.

Washington, April 2o.-The Bible
was used to defeat the bill in the
Hawaiian legislature which sought
to confer suffrage upon the women
of the islands, the National Ameri-
can Woman Suffrage association an
nounced last night. ....
The bill failed to pass by the mar
rowest margins. Charles Lake,
leader of the opposition, quoted the
Bible as offering ample proof that
God despised woman and sought to
put her down as a servant and in
ferior to her lord and master.
Summing up in his address before
the Hawaiian legislature in opposing
the suffrage bill, he said:
WAS Moses, the first leader of
the Israelites in their prime in
Egypt woman? No, he was a man.
Was Joshua, the successor of Moses
a woman? No, he was man. Christ
talked to fishermen and made them
his followers. Were the fishermen
women? No, they were men,"
The women in their statement
say: ~ 49,.
Had this bill carried another ter
ritory would have been added to the
twenty foreign governments and
one United States territory which
have beaten the United States senate
in giving suffrage to women.
"The Hawaiian woman suffrage
bill was killed at the behest of the
political gangsters who manipulated
the government of the city and coun-
ty of Honolulu for their own profit
and who have the support of every
crook, every professional gambler
and every vicious element in the
city"
The women have already begun
plans for another campaign.

She is an acknowledged friend of
Baron Won Horst, formerly of Cal

ted from internment. Miss Troy has
been in England for several years,
and during her residence in that
country has been active as suf-
fragist. The manner in which she
espoused the cause of militant suf-

with the British government. Dur

A New Idea in Menu
Making

A recent article that | came across
gives a good idea for making at
tractive menus. The trouble with
most women is not that they do
not know enough different dishes
10 make; but that they think of
the same ones over and over. 1t
is such nuisance to thumb through
a cookbook, especially as many of
the things in the average cookbook
are not specially familiar. If you
thumb through your own cookbook
or recipe card file, you get along
better, but even that is more or
less of nuisance.
A Quick Reference.
The idea is to have a small book,
or few recipe cards, and to re-
cord simply the names of the diff
ferent recipes you are familiar with.
Thus you would have page or card
