w. C. T. u. Meeting.

The August meeting of the W. c.
T. U. took place on Monday after
noon with Mrs. Walter L. Nicholson
at her lovely home just in the su-
burbs of Edgefeld. 1t was pleasure
to welcome several visitors from
other places, among them being Mr..
and Mrs. ]. D. Mathis /, Miss Susan
Mathis of Trenton and their guests,
Mrs. Matte Jennings, formerly Miss
Jordan, who attended school in Edge
field as a girl and Mrs. Jordan of
Lake City, Florida, Mrs. Felix Tim
norman, Miss Zimmerman, Mrs.
Watson Zimmerman and Mrs Susie
Miller.
Mrs. E. ]. Norris conducted the
devotions and the victrola furnished
several sacred selections.
Mrs. Minis gave statement of
the meaning of the Volstead act
which was to make the enforcement
of the prohibition law more rigid
and more effective. Mr.. Volstead
stood out against the wine and beer
amendment, as has also each state
which has submitted this amendment
to the people, by larger majority
than when the original prohibition
bill had been passed. Women are en-
ioined everywhere to watch keenly
any statement on the part of the pol
iticians which will indicate their in
tention of modifying the prohibition
laws. The question was asked by one
of the women present if one of the
senatorial candidates did not express
himself as opposed to the Volstead
act, and Mr.. Warren's statement was
called to the attention of the meet
ng at Edgefeld in which he made
an appeal for the exercise of states
rights in being able to serve and
make wine.
Miss Eliza Minis read an article
descriptive of the Worlds Conven-
tion, and Mrs. w. L. Dunovnant gave
very entertaining description of
her visit to Montreal where she had

is used. Gasoline power is more eff
fective on the farm than man power
and mule power where gasoline can
be used. Tractors plow deep, pull har
rows to pulverize and can cover a
large area in day. If you have not
purchased a Fordson tractor, one
that is within the reach of small far
mers, you should confer with Yonce
G. Mooney or H. G. Edison at once
about one. Owing to congested
freight conditions they are hard to

Labor Saving Machines.

Tractors, like trucks and automo-
biles, have come to stay, having pass
ed the experimental stage. Owing to
the acute labor situation, which will
probably never be better, it behooves
farmers to adopt every labor saving
machine possible, especially when
such machines do the work so much
better than where more man power

their frontiers in the FIumc region, and
persists in his opposition to the London
pact. But the real meaning OF the not"
IS bitter rcproaCh that tho allied

saillcs negotiations, now an English
man. then Frcnchmap was absent,
causing delay TO got adviC" from homo.
As If pccved, he reminds the allies Of
tho great sacrifices which America
brought for them. He virtually charges
them with having intrigued behind the
back OF their American friend with the
tricks OF old-timc diplomacy which
they had all agreed to do away with.
Thus the note implies NOR" than MGR"
dissatisfaction with tho course Of the
Adriatic settlement. 1t reads as II the
