CHRISTMAS SEASON.

AT this glad season of the year
we are thinking Of the coming of
Christmas. Of toys for the children.
Of gifts for our friends-of the
glowing tinscllcd tree-of merry
shouts of little ones as they come
frooping down the stairs OH that
glorious morn of the Christmas fes-
tival, music. song and laughter.
We are thinking of these-yes,
and Of Him. that other little Child
whose star the Wise Men sought as
it shone above the humble manger
Of Bethleheln-of Him whose birth
day so many earnest millions have
celebrated through the centuries
that have marked the Christmas
era.
And outside our doors the snow
maybe falling, the chill winds blow
ing outside our doors on this very
Morn, hungry and shivering and
sad, other little children stand,
dunbly pleading. We hear them
there, tapping ut our doors timidly
but perSiStently. We pause Il mo-
ment and at this merry hour, lift
the curtains and look, look and see
these little ones, these starving.
helpless, homeless waits of the. Near
East. thousands of them. pcrishing
OF cold and hunger while we and
ours, in the happy shelter of happy
homes, feast and are gay.
Children of Love.
Child of Bethlehem.
Child Of Sorrow.
Let us think of them all at this
season of the year-giving TO the
children of love over here and TO
the children of Sorrow and Need
over there in the spirit Of the
. Child of Bethlehem.
Five dollars month will feed
one OF these children--will mean
life itself. Ten dollars month will
feed and clothe a child. Fifteen dol
lars a month will feed. clOthe and
educate one.
The Near East Relief, comunis-
stoned by Congress to handle the
situation in Armenia and other
countries made destitute by the per
secutionS of the Turk, is now car
ing for 100000 of these little chill
dren of sorrow. Thousands more
are waiting outside the door Amcri-
ca is their only hope. Shall we
Save them, or must they knock in
vain?
Shall we not open the doors OF
or hearts, and let the children in.
Shall We not make our JOY perfect
ut christmas time by having shared
with even the least OF these?"

GAS COMPANY
 IS PROMOTED
 BY TWO WOMEN

MKEESPORT, Pa, Jan. 14 (by As sociated Press) Women financiers
 have entered the natural gas field, de- veloped during the past few months in
 Snake Hollow, almost within the city
 limits, and are drillings their first we'll.
 The pioneers were Miss Isabelle Mill
 moe, assistant to the city treasurer, and Miss Irma Atwater, assistant to the city solicitor.
 The heard so many stories of for tunes being made in the new develop 1 ment that they found a bit of land not
 under lease, contracted for derrick,
 and organized a company. Drilling is
 to be commenced as soon as the plant is on the ground.
 Development in the Snake Hollow field is going on with every evidence
 of the oldtime "wildcat" oil and gas boom. Town lots on the edge of the city, which three months ago were l next to worthless, are selling for as
 much as $1O,O00 each, and every time 1 new we'll comes in the price goes up A number of important wells have been brought in by companies whose business it is to search for and find natural gas. But spectacular and pie turesque speculation and financing are not lacking. Stories of the success of some persons who have become rich overnight have attracter others, until the boom has claimed wide attention.

During the time they have been in business here their clientele has spread over such a large district that they find it will be more satisfactory to conduct their business in the coast city. The Laurie Bros. have leased the corner building in Cor doVa which has been occupied by Kenny Holden, and will conduct an up-to-the-minute clothing store in that city. They will reside in the apart- ments above. Much as we like to Know these young men are extending

BOIL WEEYIL IN oRANGEBURG

Columbia, June III. H. Claffey of
Orangeburg, vice president of the
South Carolina division Of the Ameri-
can Cotton association who was in
Columbia yesterday, said that the boil
weevil was attacking the young cotton
in the Cope section of Orangeburg
county. He said that tenant on the
farm Of w. M. Hughes was in Orange
burg Saturday and reported that the
insect was destroying the cotton on
the farms in that section. In some
places it was found that as many as
five out of six squares on a stalk of
cotton had been punctured.
The farmers in the Cope section
plant their cotton unusually early,
Mr.. Claffey said, usually planting
in March. The insect invaded that
section last fall, but too late to do any
damage. This year, however, it has
gotten an early start and Mr.. Claffey
fears is going to do a great deal of
damage.
Reports from over the state indi-
cate that the insect is also invading
other counties and apprehension is
felt that the damage from it this
year is going to be very great.
Mr.. Claffey was in the city to at
tend meeting Of the audit committee
Of the South Carolina division. Other
members of the committee present
yesterday were G. L. Toole of Aiken
and John T. Mackey of Camden.

The work of social agencies other
than the Red Cross is also expanding.
It is necessary, therefore both to in
crease the number of social workers
as fast as possible and to increase the
intensity of their training"

tinue for 10 weeks; and total of not
less than 16 nor more than 20 hours

standards Of social work as may be

tute satisfactorily will receive n GER
tificate from the American National

eligible for Red Cross secretaryships.

GREAT NEED FOR

Of the dearth of social workers in

was announced today at Red Cross di-

According to Joseph c. Logan, as
sistant manager Of the Red Cross
there was never more social work be-
ing done in the south than there is
now, yet even so the demand is great
er than the supply Of workers. The
same shortage exists in this field of
welfare agency that exists among
public health nursing he says.
"The work of social agencies dur

every character in all parts of the
