RED CROSS NOTES
Successful Clothing Campaign And
Other .4ctiveties of the Society

The drive for second hand cloth
ing, with which to alleviate the suf-
fering of destitute people across the
seas. has for the third time been
successfully carried out in Williams
burg county. Mrs. T. E. Arrowsmlth,
chairman of the drive committee,
considers that very liberal response
has been made to this appeal, and
she wishes to thank all who contrl-
buted willingly. Thirteen large sacks
containing many warm and useful
articles. have been packed and will
be shipped at once. Greelyvi!le and
Hebron sent specially fine donations.
Many Orphans Adopted
Mrs. D. P. Frierson, chairman OF
the Junior Red Cross of Williams
burg county has sent to the Head
quarters. Of The Fatherless children
of France check for Soil to pay
for the adoption of IA French OF,
phans. The money is part of the fund
of nearly $4,000 made by the sale OF
tobacco last summer.
This splendid gift has been made
in the name of the Junior Red Cross
Of Williamsburg county. AS the to-
bacco was donated by the different
farmers of the county who patron
lied the Kingstree warehouses, we
are sure that these farmers, each OF
whom was asked to contribute only
few handfuls from his wagon, are
now glad to know that from those
single gifts has come the support OF
ia HELPLESS little children of France,
whose fathers laid down their lives
in the allied cause.
By carnival held on the school
grounds Monday night, the elghtn,
grade of the Kingstree High Scnool
made a neat little sum OF money,
sufficient to insure the support OF
another orphan. The pupils. OF all
grades are quite enthusiastic over
this splendid charitable work and are
planning various ways in which they
NAV increase the number OF their
adoption. .,o,. -
American school boys are about to
execute probably one of the biggeSS1
furniture orders ever placed-3o,0oO

throughout the United States the
members of the Junior Red cross
will present it, through We Amer,
can Red Cross, to the refugees OF
northern France. These people are
pouring back to their devastated
homes at rate that makes the hous'
mo nrohlem one of the hardest the
French government and the rehe'
agencies have to solve. >,
According to the program lalo
down about 100000 school boy car
penters will participate in the big
lob and it is expected that l5,ool
families in France will receive one
or more pieces of furniture as the
result. With each chair and table
will go a message of greeting from
the Junior Red Cross containing ar
addressed card that will enable the
recipients to acknowledge the gift,
The necessity for supplying the
refugees with furniture arises from
the fact that many are without
money with which to buy furnish
ines, while such as have funds can,
not be supplied in France because Of
the lack Of materials and the des,
truction Of the means of manufac'
ture.

TONS OF STUFFS
 WERE TAKEN ID AUSTRIA-HUNGARY

Paris, Thursday, Aug. 2s-Ruma- nian authorities have discovered in Pennsylvania highly important statis- tical material from which it appears that the central empires, between Dec. l, 1916 and October 10, 1918. removed from Rumania 3,705, JAS tons of merchandise of which 2,161,- OO5 tons were fOodstuffs and the rest petroleum and raw materials, says a Havas message from Bucharest.
 Hundreds of thousands of carloads were removed to Austria Hungary alone and it is pointed out that the figures quoted concern only what is officially described as exports" They do not include postal parcels which German and Austrian invaders sent home by the carload daily, nor what the army of occupation con- sumed
 "In view of this immense spOila- tion," the message adds, ''the reports of Rumanian delegates from the in demnities committees and protests against clauses in the new armistice with Hungary seem at least strange. Tho armistice does not restore one- fifth of what Hungary has stolen from us"

PUBLIC SHOULD
 TAKE HAND IN
 ALL PROBLEMS
Lane Urges Wilson to Call Conference of Capital, Labor, Industrial Mana gers and People.

Washington, Aug. 29---President Wilson should call a conference of representatives of capital, labor, in dUstrial managers, and the public to meet in Washington in the near fu- ture to discuss perplexing economic problems confronting the nation, Sec retary of the Interior Lane declared in a statement made yesterday. Here tofore only capital and labor have been considered in discussions of vital economic questions, MT. Lane assert ed, but the time has come when the public must receive a voice as well as the business managers and executives who are the brains of modern indus trial organizations
 There are four sides to the table, D said MT. Lane, and 1t is time that the public was given a seat in the council chamber and a voice in the proceed ings. The problems confronting the United States today vitally threaten the walfare of the nation and the sit uation is growing worse daily. I be- lieve that the President should call immediately a conference of repre- sentatives of the four great factors 1 involved in the present economic sit | uation, labor, capital, business execu- tive, and the public. Such a confer ence would go far toward solving the perplexing and dangerous problems
 the nation today faces"
 The proposed conference, the Sec | retary held, should take up the ques- | tions of relations between employer | and employe, of labor's proportion oi 1 earnings and of improving industria | conditions by calling in executives | who have solved these problems sue l cessfully in their own organizations MT.

Hartford, Aug. 29-James M. Whit tlesey, corr .. issionGr of domestic anil mals, has Issued oral advice to farm CTS to arm themselves with guns and ammunition to protect themselves and their sheep from roaming dogs. Several nocks of sheep have already been attacked by dogs, in Guilford, Barkhamstcd and Norwich and in some instances, sheep have been kill ed Later tho dogs were killed.

EXTREvAGANCE OF. BUYING FUR COATS ON INSTRUMENTS War Savings Committee Gives Statement on Ex-
 pensive Clothes. POOR BECOME AS FOOLISH AS RICH Claim That People Are Spending Lavishly For
 LuXuries.

Hartford, Aug. 29-One of the req sons for the present high cost of liv- ing, according to a statement issued yesterday by the Connecticut War Savings Committee, is the fact that people are spending money lavishly for luxuries The committees fight on extravagance as a factor in high prices, is part of its publicity cam paign in cooperation with Robert Scoville. food administrator for Con- necticut.
 "Information has come to this off, flee" says the statement, indicating that profiteering has been, and is, practiced in Connecticut to a consid- erlble extent Its eliminatioa is sim ply a matter of efficient police work by the department of justice and the food administration. That. however, is only part of the story This office also has information from time to time showing unmistakably that the public in general is not buying wisely or carefully.
 "UnfortUnately, it is not only those of some means who are eXtrava gant. In many ways the poor are becoming as foolish as the rich This month, for instance, a woman representative Of one or the department stores In Hartford is reported to have taken orders for 25O fur coats from girl employees of an insurance company, on S1 a week basis. The coats cost from S125 to $500 each, but, in this insurance office they were purchased by many girls earning probably $15 a week, or less. Some of the girls will be paying on the coats for three or four years. By such reckless eXtrav- agance as th's the prices of luXuries are made to soar, and to some extent the prices of necessities follow.
