York's toast was drunk standing,
sandwlched in between one to Presi-
dent Wilson and another to Major
gen. Duncan, and SO many times was
Sergt. York eulogized and spoken to
that he heard the toastmaster hesitate
as ne started to introduce the Eighty
second divisions commander as "Ser-
|geant--er-that is, Major Gen. Dun
can"
Sergt. Yorks Speech.
When it came York's turn to stand
up and address the diners he showed
has modest simplicity:
Il guess you all understand that
I'm just soldier and not speaker"
he said. "I'm just soldier boy-but
l want to thank the society and Gen.
duncan, and l want you all to know
that what you all have done for me
IS highly appreciated and / never shall
forget it. / thank you very much"
Round of Festivities.
Today was one round Of festivities
Tor Sergt. York. From morning until
long after his Irregular bed time" he
was hurried about the city in taxi
CABS, touring cars and limousines. He
was shunted from one place of inter
est and one reception to another un-

he announced modestly, and with no
offense intended, that all day long he
had wanted to do Gust one thing

That's one place ! sure do want
to see," he sighed tonight.
At dinner Sergt. York was hailed as
the soldier "who has distinguished
himself above all men in the war, in
the acchievement of the greatest indi-
vidual deed in history"
Artists Opinion.
Joseph Cummings Chase, who was
sent by the War Department to "paint
the portraits of all the generals in the
army and Sergt. York" pointed to
what fine thing ii is to see Gen.
Duncan sitting beside Sergt. York"
and Gen. Duncan said he was proud
to nave at his side the "most distin-
gulshed soldier the world war has pro-
duced"
"Sergt. York's deeds are of the
character that go down in history

OF Stress continued Gen. Duncan.
"He is not only a very unpretcntious
soldier, but an unassuming, modest
man. His achievement was the most
outstanding act of gallantry, not ONLY

modest absolutely, but unabashed, un

DEATU TO TIE SCRIP
SIRE IN SOUTH CAROLINA

Clemson College, May 26.-"Just so
long as our people buy grade and
scrub bulls, just so long will live
stock lag; and we will have scrubs
for our trouble and lose money in
! the cattle business" advises VI. J.
Sheely, animal husbandman of the
Extension Service, who feels that it
should be misdemeanor for man
to offer bull for sale for breeding
purposes unless it is registered
lhere is a growing demand for good
breeding cattle in South Carolina. This
demand has been brought about bv
the high cost of meat animals and
meat products, and by the desire of
our people to change into a safe
rounded system of farming. The com
ing of the cotton boil weevil has has
| tened this demand for breeders: and
the passing out Of the tick has left
the field clean for good pure bred cat
Il" all over the State.
Some Of our breeders are taking adj
vantage of this situation and are feed
ing and growing out their young stock
and furnishing the farmer with pure
bred, well~grown animals that will
make good.
Other clever men Graders and
bushwhackers) also have sized I'D the
situation and have shipped in culls
and inferior animals and are selling
them as pure bred but not regis
tered. These men are after making
money, and they care nothing for the
development Of the livestock industry.
ANY animal that carries the color and
markings, these "bushwhackers" will
claim to be pure bred but not reg
istered."
1t has been shown that when a
pure beef bull is used with
head of 20 cows the increased value
OF the first calves AT year old will
more than pay for good registered
bull. Since the bull is half the herd
and more, it is good business always
to select bull that is better individ
ual than the cows he is to be bred
10. IN the same prop0rtion; as the
bull is better than the cows, the
calves will be better than their moth
ers; but if the bull is inferior to the
COWS, in the same proportion will the |
calves be inferior to their mothers. |
IL follows then that we can't afford to |
use grade or scrub bull even |
though he be given to us; for his |
calves will be too inferior and scrubby |
feed.
The death knell has been sounded
to scrub and grade bulls. Several |
counties have already put on vigorous
campaigns t. this effect. Others will |
get into line rapidly; and he who Of
fers such bulls for sale is not true
to the best interests of the cattle busi
ness and is open to criticism and con-
demnation by all fairminded men who
want to see real advancement in more
and better livestock in the South. Own
a registered pure bred bull or none.

Homemade
Ornaments for the
Christmas Tree
By A. NEELY HALL
Copyright, by A. Nicely Hall.)

Suppose that you prepare some
homemade Christmas-tree ornaments
like those in the illustrations, to go
with the ornaments which you have,
for this years tree. They will help
to cover the tree, and, not only that,
they will make your tree more inter-
esting because they will be different
from anything you can buy.

The happiest dinner Of all the year
Il that In which all the members of a
family Join on Christmas day. Prep
arations for this joyous feast are 60
ing ON two or three weeks before
Christmas day, or even for longer
time. There is lot Of fun In max
ing them, especially when all the
family is interested and every member
Of it takes some part in the work.
In addition to the usual Christmas
Sreens-the pine and holly-so dearly
loved and always used as back
ground for other things. some new and
unexpected decorations add to the in
terest of Christmas celebrations. For
the dinner table, the sideboard, the
Christmas tree, serving tables and
mantels some things are to be newly
made each year, adding the spice of
variety to the charm of old-time favo-
rites. Among these are centerpieces
for the Christmas table. To replace
the miniature christmas tree or the
decorative Christmas cake which
hare done long and valiant service as
centerpieces, there are a number of
new things that are easy to make and
cost next to nothing, which have been
brought out lately. Among them
"Christmas pies" are featured. They
are boxes of some sort that simulate
q house, a chimney, a figure of Santa
Claus, a sleigh or any receptacle that
will hold small packages, and they are
filed with little gifts, usually things
that provoke a laugh, that are to be
distributed before or after dinner to
the people seated at the table.
A centerpiece made of cardboard,
cotton, powdered mica and crepe pa
per is shown in the picture above. A
very heavy cardboard is used for the
foundation and this is about thirty
inches square. A box twelve inches
square will serve for the house, and
It is either covered with red paper or

In order that the high cost Of living
may not fall ..te a blight upon the
Christmas tree, we must begin to con-
slider it's decoration right now. Quite
q number Of things are more expen-
sive than they used to be, and candy
Is among them, but there are plenty
of ornaments that cost next to moth
ing, and homemade candies-which
are better than others-will partially
replace the confectioners' wares.
Some of the inexpensive ornaments
that will adorn this years Christmas
trees appear in two groups above. At
the left are few of the new and in
expensive celluloid toys that have
been produced in great variety and
abundance and can be bought for ten
or fifteen cents each. They include
very pretty little jointed dolls, all
kinds of domestic and wild animals,
ducks, fishes and swans and very vivid
ly colored horns. They are very light
and will float, so that the waterfowl,
the tiny battleships and fishes can be
floated in a basin of water. In the
group at the left there are three cellu-
loid animals, besides doll and horn.
They are all nicely colored and the
doll is large enough to dress easily.
The horn is very vivid red, has silk
cord and tassel and will delight the
small youngsters to whom noise is mu-
sic.
In the group at the right, just few
homemade ornaments are shown.
They include butterfly and a robin,
with a plain horn Of tin, having red
gauze ribbon wrapped about it and
tied in bows at the ends. Also one of
those long candy snappers, wrapped in
bright red paper. A face is painted on
It, with Lair and whiskers indicated
By cotton, to look like Santa Claus.
The butterfly is cut from crepe pa

painted red, with windows and doors
sketched on. In the printed papers
pictures of houses might help out in
making the house. When the box has
been glued or tackled to the founda'
tion small pine trees may be
made by cutting green crepe pa
per into narrow fringe. This is
wound to moderately heavy wire,
using thread or tie wire to fas-
ten the fringe to the heavy wire. By
trimming the fringe in different lengths
the short and long branches of the
trees are simulated.
The next step is the placing Of cot
ton to simulate snow on the founda.
tion board, on the roof Of the house,
on the trees and below the painted
windows. It is fastened down with
little dabs of mucilage. The roof Of
the house can be lifted off when the
time comes and small packages that
have been placed within distributed to
those about the table. Little figures
added to the scene help to make 1t at
tractive. Santa Claus and his rein
deer, cut from printed paper and
pasted against thin cardboard, are set
in the snowy scene pictured. Finally
powdered mica-"Santa Claus snow
is sprinkled over the whole piece to
give it a frosty sparkle, and this fin
ishes fine centerpiece for the Christ
mas dinner table.
Nearly all these center pieces are
made of low pasteboard box-either
round or square-containing small
gifts and having a fiat lid. This Is
covered with cotton or crepe paper

which they are glued; and strip Of
cardboard (C) is glued along each
side. The car is small box, and the
propeller CD is pivoted to its end with
a pin. Threads suspend the car from
the balloon, and others suspend the
balloon from the Christmas tree. Paint
the balloon red and the car yellow.
Probably you have prepared colored
popcorn strings, but l wonder if you
have made strings of cranberries and
glass beads? Fig. II suggests way
to alternate the beads and cranber-
ries so they will present the form of
glass ball strings. To make the cram
berries sparkle like glass balls, coat
some with glue and sprinkle with the
powdered mica sold for imitation

tors, or wrap in tinfoil.
