Reports presented at the meeting
showed the Club to be in excellent con-
dition financially, and, in fact, better
than at any time in the history of the
Club. Much credit must go to the for
mer officials of the Club for the things
which have been accomplished during
the past year, before making predic-
lions of what may be accomplished dur
ing the coming year under the new
management. However,, after review
ing the men who have been elected, we
should say that the probability of con-
tinued success for the DUPONT Club
during the coming year is not a mere
conjecture, but an assured fact.
The Movies at the Club are prov
ing to be a big hit with the members
and the management has promised that
the class of pictures which have been
shown for the past two weeks will be
shown all through the coming season.
The Club movies are being run under
the management of Mr.. Schweiger,
manager of the Broad Theatre. Those
shown at his theatre on Wednesday
evening are shown at the DUPONT Club
on Thursday evening.
The weekly dance will be held at the
Club on Friday evening, as usual. The
| attendance at these dances has been
such as to offer great encouragement
to those in charge of this amusement
at the Club. Good music is always a
certainty.

in progress this week throughout
the United States for the securing
of funds for rehabilitation work in
the stricken countries Of Europe.
After telling briefly of the sue
cess of the drive thus faI, he pro-
duced cablegram from the secre-
tary of the American legation in
Brussels, in which was emphasized
the need of immediate action in the
war torn region. DR.. Bra1delle dis
cussed briefly the work done by
the national Lutheran commission
in temporarily alternating the i'm
mediate needs of the Lutheran
church in France. Half OF the min
listers OF the French church had
been killed in the war, he said and
the number of communicates had
dwindled down to 100000. He gave
the substance of the report by two
commissioners sent by the national
Lutheran commission to France
shortly before the signing of the
armistice. They had reported, he
said, that unless immediate aid
comes from the people Of America,
Lutheran church work in France
must cease.
The Lutheran commission re-

sponded at the time with a gift of
$50, 900 and promised further aid as
the needs arose. Now n accord
ance with that promise, and the
general plans by all sects through
out the United States to aid in
church reconstruction work. he
said, the Lutheran church is en-
deavoring to subscribe $1,000, 900
for the purpose.
Asks Aid.
In the closing sentences Of his
speech, he laid great stress and
emphasis upon the moral aid which
he said was possible to be given
by the students of America in tax
ing the place Of leaders in church
work who have given their lives
in the war. He mentioned briefly
the aid which Augustana students
could render and encouraged a lib
eral subscription
Grant HuItberg made few re-
marks concerning the management
of the drive after which DR.. G. A.
Andreen made plea for repetition
of the record made by the students
in the Lutheran brotherhood drive
last year, in which they subscribed
over 5000.

Farmers, particularly of the Pee

in tobacco an effective weapon win
which to beat down the tide OF eco
nomic losses incident to the invasion
of the boil weevil.
Last year returns from the crop
reached the unprecedented figures OF
nearly s2O,O0O,OOO. The exact figures
were S1s,311, 1876. The highest pre-
vious figure was in 1917 when the
returns amounted to $1l,794,43l.'o.
Growers last year in receiving ap-
proximately s2O,OOo,OOo for their TO-

of the state department of agricul-
ture for 1918 gives the following syn
opsis of the history of tobacco grow
ing in South Carolina.
"The department, under the law,
began to keep records of the tobacco
crop in 1909. That year very nearly

raised, but the price was low, and 1t
brought but little over two and a
quarter million dollars. The two fol-
lowing years the crop decreased very
considerably in both volume and in
amount of money produced. Then for
four years consecutively the volume
of the crop steadily increased, until
the maximum was reached in 1914

at 1877 cents per pound, bringing to
the farmers S4,5Si,O0G the greatest

When you go to pay your income tax take your
