PASSING of Emma.

Emma is dead. She died, not per
haps altogether that others might live,
but she surely died to make an Ameri-
can holiday. Most of her life she had
been petted and dined, for it was de-
signed that she put on weight, much
as the female of the species objects to
embonpOint. Emma was, in her tender
youth, removed from base hospital 10
to base 81 And that is just where in
crest for all the folks at home who
nave boys at base 81 starts, for surely
no member of the hospital so far for
got his surroundings as not to mention
Emma in his letters. So Emma grew
and grew. Recently the end came. It
was announced in q letter home thus
laconically and graphically: 1--WE ate
Emma yesterday" She was served to
the hospital attaches, and while it may
be disloyal to say so, the diners say
she tasted better than American pork.
But weep not, you outsiders who read
this, for Emma was only wild hog

HELPED BY WESTERN IDEALS
Much Credit for the Uplifting
of John Chinaman.

He is now to be found in every
country of the globe. As an immi-
grant he comes ignorant of language
and subject to oppressive laws, but
he makes his own way. Drop him
down on any spot on the earth's sur
face and he will make a living for
himself and ask odds of no one. The
Chinese beggar in q foreign land is
unknown. He is misery and lives
cheaply only when circumstances COM
pei. When prosperity smiles there is
no more generous people. AS trader
and a merchant he has no equal. In
the Philippines there are only $4,000
Chinese, less than 1 per cent of the
total population. But this handful of
Chinese controls 80 per cent of the
retail trade of the islands In trade,
in scholarship, in bodily strength and
endurance, in industry John China
man individually is able to hold his
own against all corners. He can live
and prosper in adverse conditions
where all other races fail. Yet his
country is weak and helpless against
the aggressiOns of smaller countries
and its future is subject of appre-
hensfon and doubt. Official cOrrup-
ton, superstition, provincial spirit in
stead of national patriotism, bind the
country to old forms, and make its
progress slow and uncertain. West
ern ideals and learning, carried to
China largely by the American mis-
sionary, are helping now to show
more clearly the ways to advance
ment and are loosening some Of the
old bonds.-World's Work.

Inconsiderate Infantry.

One artillery unit worked hard dur
ing the afternoon of the second day of
the attack to get its pieces into posi-
ton. 1t had moved up for the second
time, and had not fired a shot.
It was four O'Clock when the lieu
tenant in command gave orders for
every one to stand by. The gunners
were to fire their first volley into the
German lines.
Every one stood waiting for the final
word when the telephone rang and
word came that the infantry had adj
vanced so far that it would be neces-
sary to move up again before going
into action.
"Oh!'' said a gunner; those infan'
try guys amt got no respect for us
at all l"-Stars and Stripes.

TOOK NO CHANCE ON CHANTS"
That Batch of Troopers Didn't intend
to Be Caught With the Goods"
on Them.

There was a colored labor outfit IN
the S. o. S. engaged in quarry work
near a base port. A few weeks ago,
in the course of opening up some new
ground, they discovered an old Roman
burying ground with many skeletons,
coins and relics. The find made quite
an impression on the minds of the find
ers, and there were many speculatiOns
as to whether the shades of the de-
parted legiOnaries still lowered around
in the vicinity of their last resting
place. The general opinion was that
a man ought to be on his guard when
out late at night.
About that time the sum of go francs
disappeared from the counter of a
nearby Y. NJ. c. A. hut. The captain
of this outfit doesn't know great deal
about classroom psychology, but he
has learned a lot about it in the field.
He called his outfit together one night
In the hut and told them of the dis
appearance of the money. Then he
outlined tine history and characters
tics of the old Romans.
Boys" he said, there was one
thing a Roman hated worse than any
thing else, and that was a thief. IF
the ghosts of those old fellows who
were buried up there on the hill should
learn that somebody in this outfit had
60 francs in his pocket, I don't know
just what would happen. I'm going to
put my hat here on the table and turn
out the lights. The guilty man will
know what to do
There was quite a shutting of feet
and milling around in the hut, and
then all was quiet. When the captain
turned on the lights again and looked
in the hat he found not only the 60
francs, but 300 more, and a few odd
centimes for good measure-Stars and

PAINT AND !LLITERACY.
Curious Fact Comes to Light That Lo-
caIities Least Using Books Avoid
Paint Also.

Washington. D. ca curious fact
has been brought to light by the Edu-
cational Bureau and the Bureau of In
dustrial Research here. It is that in
the states where ilIiteracy is most
prevalent paint is least used. The
paint referred to is the common or
barn variety, of course, for the back
woods countries have no neeu for the
finer pigments or facial adornments.
1t is true, though, that in the sections
of all states where white illiteracy is
highest painted homes are rare and
painted outbuiidings and barns are
practically unknown. Probably the
illiterates do not use paint on their
buildings because they do not under
stand its value as a preventative.

Noted .coIored Woman.

Sojourner Truth was a colored wom-
an born in New York state, probably
about the middle of the eighteenth
century, as she was middle aged at
the time of Washington's death, in
1799. That was not her real name,
but she assumed it for reasons of her
own. She was a slave all her life IN
til set free by an act of the New York
legislature in 1927. abolishing slavery
in that state, July 4, 1927. Mrs Har-
riet Beecher Stowe wrote life Of her.

A person has health and strength
in just the jrojortion that the vital
organs jerform their functions jro-
perry. There is something radically
wrong when one feels tired and dis
couraged, unfit and unwilling for
their daily work. Humanity was new
er intended to suffer with headaches,
coated tongue, pain in the back or
stomach, hollow eyes, pimple skin,
yellow complexion, weak nerves and
the many symptoms attending the
half-sick conditions which attack so
many people. They are not sick en-
ough to go to bed and not really well
enought to be at work, sa they go on
trying to keep their place in a busy
work-a-day world where people in half
health stand but little show. All the
time some chronic disease is making
deeper and deeper inroads, until in
some cases they are past curing, then
they wake up when it is forever too
late.

Market at 107 ga

Savannah. Ga. June 11.-Turpen-
tine was quoted in the Savannah mar
ket today at 107 3-4 which is the
highest price ever attained in the
local market. Eight years ago, on
season -end manipulation. the quo
tation was forced up as high as LOT.
The market closed firm today at
LOT 3-4, with all offerings taken. The
advance is attributed to the re-
awakening Of the foreign demand.

coming on a very heavily reduced rate

Seeking Students
Navy Making Effort to Interest
High School Lads

Navy officials are waging auEag-
gresslve campaign for recruits to fll.
the places left vacant by men dis-
charged who were needed at home
and who enlisted for the period of
emergency. -.
The navy desires to enlist the older
high school students for the service
and believes with the great opportun-
ity to learn a trade and see the world
many will enlist Inspector Wander
beck, however, states in his message
that he advises all boys who Intend
to continue their study in college TO
remain in school but if they do not
expect to attend college the navy fsS
anxious to receive them. -
IN consequence Of this two men
from the Columbia Office ,Rere pres
.ent at Sumter High Schooel and
Darlington High School last night tt
interest the boys in the navy. Othkr
speakers will tour the State to attend
commandments Of high schools in an
effort to bring many young men into
the service Of Uncle Sam. s..

U. s. Navy, Columbia, S. c., made the
following statement to the Sumter
High School boys: sss:
While the war is practically over
we are in dire need Of men to man
our fighting ships. We are endeayor-
ing to comply with the wishes OF
many young men who came in to- con-
tribute their help in winning the
world war, and to this end it is nee
essary to replace these men. My per-
sonal advice to the High Schoof grad
uate is to go to college and complete
his education, but if this is not pos
sible, then extend to you a cordial
invitation to investigate what the
navy has to offer. We have in the
navy every trade which you viii find
in civil life, and you are under. very
competent instructors and your pays1s

Debate to Open Today May
Eclipse All the Others in
Fury

Washington, June 11.-After a
short period Of comparative quiet
the Senate fight over the league Of
nations appears certain to be resum-

1t is around the resolution Of Sena-

vania proposing to put the senate
definitely on record regarding the re-
vised covenant Of the league, that the
next chapter of the fight is to be
written Supporters of the resolution
hope to gather enough strength to
give warning to the Paris conference
that the treaty cannot be ratified here
in its present form, an eventually
which the treaty supporters expect to

Cotton Market Excited
Renewal of General Buying
Movement at Start Caused
By Reports of Showers

New York, June 10.-There were
extremely violent fluctuations in the
cotton market today. October con-
tracts for instance sold up to $3.50
during the early trading, or 107 points
net higher. broke to 5000, or 130
points from the top and closed at
30.63, with the general list closing
firm at net advance of Is to As
points
There was renewal of yesterday s
excited and general buying movement
at the start which was evidently slim
ulated by the sensational strength Of
Liverpool and reports of further rains
or showers in the South. The open
ing was strong at an advance Of 46 to
SO points in consequence, and before
the urgent demand had been supplied
active months sold 101 to lo7 points
above last nights closing figure, with
July touching 1920 and December
$685. In the case Of October de-
liveries this made an advance Of 377
points, or Of 1885 per bale from the
low level Of last Saturday The buy
ing movement then subsided and the
market broke even more rapidly than
it had advanced during the early af-
ternoon under realizing or liquidation
inspired by reports that domestic mill
buyers had withdrawn from the mar
ket, talk of rather a disappointing do
mestic mill consumption for May, and
rumors that the federal reserve board
was considering measures to discour-
age general speculative activity. July
broke to 1910 and December to $3.50,
or about 11.5 TO $50 points from the
high level of the morning on the ac-
tive months, but the market rallied la
ter on bullish private condition figures,
and renewed covering with the close
showing recoveries Of some so to Is
points from the lowest. One Of the
Southern authorities estimated the
mid month condition Of the crop at
20 compared with the recent govern
ment report of 765 and domestic mill
consumption for May at 484 900 bales
compared with $500 last year.

Break in Market
Cotton Shows Small Loss at
Close of Day

New York, June 1.-THE cotton
market showed continued nervousness
and regularity today, but the volume
of business subsided after an early
break of SS to SO points and the close
was very steady at net loss of only
8 to 25 points. October sold off to
29.75 and closed at 3O46. The market
opened barely steady at decline of
to 80 points. although the cables
weak during the early trading. A
more favorable weather map and eX-
pectations Of q favorable weekly re-
port from the weather bureau prob
ably promoted the selling, while the
disposition to liquidate long contracts
was supposed to be increased by the
uncertainties Of the wire service owing
to the strike Of telegraph operators.
July sold off to 304S and December
to 2947. with October contracts show
ing decline of about 155 points from
the high level of yesterday.
Offerings then became smaller, the
weekly weather report was no more
bearish than expected and the market
turned frmer during the afternoon on
covering and reports that trade buy
ers had taken part Of the contracts
liuuidated earlier in the day. Last
prices showed rallies of about g. to II
points from the lowest.
The weather map was considered
favorable and private reports from the
Southwest were mOre hopeful, but
much Of the early selling was attrib
uted to liquidation and the appear
ance Of trade buying on the decline
was a sustaining factor. It was re-
ported today that prominent Souh-
el'n authority made the nid-monfh
condition only So, compared with the
official end-May report Of 75.6.

Procedure Of Conference Per-
mits the Council Of Four to
Take Final Action on Reply.

Paris, June 11.-There is some dis
cussion in general conference circles
whether a plenary session will be
called to consider the reply to Ger
many's counter proposals or whether
the council of four will send it di-
fectly to Versailles, without reference
to the other nations. The procedure
permitted the reply to come from
the council.
The reparations portion Of the re-
ply does not fix the total sum the Ger

itself is not changed, but the reply
contains assuran nces to Germany re-
garding the method Of reparations
and the process and explaining it as
a. workable agreement.
