cant is in good health at at date Of
discharge Or at the expiration of the
grace period, whichever is the later
date, and so states in his application.
OF course it is necessary that he
tender the two months premiums on
the amount of insurance he wishes
to reinstate.
Service men who reinstate their
insurance by payment of all back
premiums to July %, 1919, when the
decision requiring payment of only
two months premium went into eff
feet, upon written application to the
Bureau may have any premium paid
in excess of two applied toward the
payment of future premiums. For
example, if after a policy had elaps-
ed for six months, a man reinstated
and paid six months premium in
stead of two; he may secure credit
for four months premiums.
The provisions for reinstatement do
reinstates. If he waits he may not
be in as good health as he was at the
time of discharge and consequently
may not lie able to secure reinstate-
ment. ..
Don't put off reinstatement. 10
it now In all probability, you will
never have another opportunity to
get insurance at so low a rate.
Miss Karen Brandt, Executive
Secretary of the Home Service Sec
ton of the Red Cross whose office is
in the DEBORAH State Bank Building,
has the insurance premium list and
proper blanks for reinstatement and
conversion. Do not, hesitate in call
ing upon her for assistance and
advice in this matter.

Six Months Supply
OF German Vat Dyes
Assured for u. S.

New York, Dec. 15.-A six months
supply of dyes, to tide American
consumers over until the time when
American manufacturers hope to
have available full line Of these inn
portant colors, is assured, accord
ing to a cablegram received from
the head of the German dye syndi-
cate by DR.. Charles H. Herty, chem
ical advisor to the American section
Of the reparations committee of the
peace conference. Parts of these
dyes are to be supplied on highly
advantageous financial terms by the
Germans under the compulsory fea-
lures of the peace treaty, payment
being made in marks at the present
depre ciated rate of exchange, while
the remaindr will be sold by them in
dollar prices, figured at approx
mately the peace time value of the
mark.
Arrangement for the supply has
been made at an inter-allied confer
ence with the Germans at Versailles
October q, but the long delay in TAX
ing advantage of the stipulations
gave the Germans opportunity to de-
Glare the optional part of the con-
tract cancelled.
As a result of strong diplomatic
pressure through the State depart
ment, a German cable message an
nounced that the option would be
extended.

Good Roads Meeting
All Who Want Better Roads

All Of the United States forward
movements are going on in. the favor
sof building good roads. Fathered
nationally by the A. a. A. and in each
State by the local State Automobile
Association demand is growing that
Will not be denied. The reason is
very simple: the country needs good
roads. and so mile after mile Of last
ing roads are going down in every
part OF the Union.
3 South Carolina has not been very
progressive so far with road building.
the sandy State OF Florida has roads
that are for beyond ours. Within the
last few months, however, many Of
the counties OF this State have awak-.
ened and have gone to work to bet
ter their roads, and TO build something
that Will last. Sumter county IS now

tions of the treaty which are declared
ito be too severe for fulfillClent, but
the time can not be extended beyond

Late dispatches from Berlin indi-
cate that the German document is
to contain manifold representations
and arguments for lessening of the
severity OF the terms, not alone from
the financial and economic standpoint,
but also with regard to the disarn1e,-
ment both on land and sea. and a plan
for matualizing under the league OF

argued against Friday is to witness
the receipt by the Austrians OF the
terms OF the peace treaty that has
ben formulated for the former en-
pire of The Hapsburgs. The plea of
the chief of the Austrian delegation
for haste by the allies in making
known their terms proba bly, is respon-
sible for Friday having been chosen
as the day for the Austrians to APP
pear before the peace congress, Il
having been believed that
the ceremony would not take place
until next week.
In anticipation Of the possibility .:
a declaration on the part of the Ger
mans to sign the peace treaty, Mar
sllal Foch. the commander of the al
lied and associated armies, has made
q further inspection of the occupied
area in the west and its general vicir-
