The real purpose of this unit has
been to give the women an oppor-
tunity to uphold the boys of the Le-
gion in any service they have under
taken. To this end the women con-
tributed to the fund for decorating
graves, avenues and in local ceme-
teries; met and placed laurel wreaths
on the caskets of the heroes return
ed from overseas sold and wore
Flanders poppies as a silent tribute
to our boys who died in France;
served a banquet at the close of a
membership drive for Legion mem
bers; and assisted in all entertain
ments given in the beautiful rooms
of the post. In addition to this To-
cal work the Woman's Auxiliary of
Newberry has aided in carrying out
the ideals set forward by the nation
al American Legion by sending to
our United States senator and rep
resentatives resolutions urging
speedy enactment of relief for dis
abled veterans. For the women real
ize that the victory was not cheaply
bought, for nearly a half million
youths are still paying in broken
bodies and shattered minds. ''For
them the paths of glory have led to
long white halls of pain" Surely the
Woman's Auxiliary will find it's duty
to care for those disabled in the ser
vice and now neglected.

The gross debt of the United
States on September 30, less the bal
ance on hand, was about $23, 166 ,000,-

than the debt on the same date in
1920 and 1912, 100000 less than the
peak of the war debt, reached on Au-
gust 81, 1919. The figures show that
we are steadily returning to sound
financial basis, a process that is being
materially fastened by the drastic
economies of the present administra-
ton.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The students have again taken ND
active school work after a brief
Thanksgiving vacation. The class per-
lods on Tuesday were heightened
slightly which resulted in shorter per-
iods Wednesday and an early dismiss
al.
The musical comedy, Miss Cherry
Blossom" which was staged here No
vember p and % was a decided sue
cess. BY this we do not mean purely
financial success, but success in other
respects as WELL The total proceeds.
including expenses were 5000. These
funds will be appropriated for the
purchase of records for the school
Nictrola. The students taking mart
in the comedy feel that they have
earned something in the way of ex-
perience and are to be congratulated
on their excellence along these lines.
A great deal of the credit for the sue
cessful termination of this venture is
due Miss Veazey, who so tactfully
supervised the musical parts of the
0peretta. However, Mrs. johnson and
the Misses Kyle and Carlson should
receive due credit for that which they
accomplished.
The Debate Tryout has been post
poned for few days.
| A number of students are contcm-
plating writing essays on George
Washington for the contest which is
now in progress under the direction of
the Chicago Daily Tribune.
Miss Binney is again at her desk
IN the English room after an absence
of three weeks. Although her duties
have been ably performed by the sub
stitutes, Mrs. Morley and Miss Tor
mey We are pleased to have her
with as once more.
The V. III. S. students are very well
pleased with the results of the game
supper which was given at the nj. E.
church on Monday evening. As form
erly stated in this column, the total
proceeds, approximately $125, will be
deposited in the Athletic Association
Treasury. Although our plans Tor
a gymnasium We're defeated, it is
earnestly hoped that a basket ban
team may be organ zed and games
held. The teachers al.a students who
formulated and carried out the plans
for the supper exhibited great ability
and though they undoubtedly were not
faultless, we feel that we have done
our best.
A Senior class meeting was held
Tuesday after school to elect the men,
bers of the annual board, but because
the majority of the class was not
there the meeting was postponed to
some later date.
A meeting was called at 1:20 Tues
day for all those who are trying out
for debate and to see how much had
ben accomplished in the way of pre-
whichparation for the tryout. The
meeting was postponed until Monday
because of lack of preparation due to
the time that was spent on the 0per-
eta and the game supper.
A sale was held Tuesday night of
the eatables which were not disposed
of at the game supper. 11e 81 pies
which were left were quickly disposed
of as they were sold at cost and a
hungry bunch were anxiously await
| ing them.
A series of quizes are being held
this week as the six weeks period is
about up. Report cards will be given
out the first part of next week.
| Thanks are extended to the outsid-
ers who contributed game for the
High School supper Monday evening.

The kaolin beds in this vicinity are
to be found in solid layers of great
depth, Mr.. Twiggs pointed out. They
were probably washed down into the
valley millions of years ago, and in
this movement the clay caught up
many impurities. For this reason it
has to be mined by hand and select
ed in order to get absolutely pure
kaolin. One big tire concern is now
mining kaolin in South Carolina for
its own use.
Mr.. Twiggs also went into the mat
ter of making high grade brick from
kaolin. He told of a test that he and
others associated with him had made.

Women Students VS.. Men.

Women's and mems colleges have
not up to now attempted to compete
with each other in athletic rivalry,
owing to the fact that women are
considered weaker sex physically.
The time may come when the girls
who are fast growing in physical abil-
ilty may be able to cope with the
boys in both baseball and football.
Already girl swimmers are showing
remarkable power.
When it comes to the field of men
tai ability, women students are fully
able to compete with men. Back when
women's colleges were first started,
people scoffed at the idea that the
girls could do equally severe mental
work. But they long since found out
that the girls were just as good
scholars if not better.
An instance of women's tendency
to assert themselves in competition
with men in all activities is seen in
the joint debate soon to be held be-
tween a team of girls from Smith
college and team of boys from Dart
mouth. The time has come when the
girls can't be kept down. They have
confidence in their mental powers
and want to test them out in COM
petition with men.
The students of mems colleges
have had some tendency to look down
on girls colleges, regarding them as
a little inferior. But such claims are
like to be attacked. The girls will not
be content to be considered on a
lower intellectual par. If the boys
claim any mental superiority, they
will have to accept such challenges
or see their assertions discounted.
It will be interesting to see which
will come out ahead when such de-
bates become more common. Women
have sometimes been considered in
ferior in logic. But they are hard
workers and very practical, and
would marshal many instances out
of actual life to prove their points
in such competition. The boys will
have to quit so much football and
pretty girl talk and get down to bus
mess if they are going to win such
debates.-Augusta Herald.

Beautiful Pictures at Small

What glorious thing it would be
if it could be said with simple truth
that every farm home in the South,
no matter how simple, had at least
one picture by one of the worlds
great artists! I don't mean of course
that we should buy picture just be-
cause it is by great artist, regard
less of whether or not it appeals to
us as beautiful. But there are so
many wonderful pictures by world
famous artists from which we can
make selection, buying only those
of which we know that each individ-
ual picture will be indeed ga thing
of beauty and a joy forever" in the
home.
If you will send cents to the Ell
son Art Publication Co., Belmont,
Mass, or 10 cents to the Perry Pic
lures Co., Maiden, Mass, you will
get catalog containing hundreds of
miniature reproductions of famous
pictures. With such a catalog, you
can then take your time to decide
which Of these pictures in larger size
you would most delight to have; and
you will find that you can get these
really beautiful and artistic pictures
for less than the tawdry, botchy,
splotchy daubs of color which travel
ing agents and furniture store have
so often palmed off on the unsuspect-
Iing.-Progressive Farmer.

was placed in an electric oven along
side one of the kaolin bricks. After
a period of seven hours the burnt
brick broke down under the heat
pressure of 5000 degrees, while the
kaolin brick maintained its shape
and was intact. The kaolin brick was
then put under 1000 degrees of heat
pressure for three hours and was even
then unchanged.
Also Used for Making Fine Plate
Glass.
In addition to the many uses OF
kaolin, Mr.. Twiggs pointed out that
high grade plate glass is also made
of this clay, and tina. glass Innings
used in places where heat is severe
are also made of kaolin.
After his talk Mr.. Twiggs passed
out among the Rotarians for inspec-
tion small brick of kaolin in the
form of which it was taken from the
mine. The kaolin was pure white. He
also exhibited hslf-flled jar of pull
verized kaolin for the Rotarians to
examine. They not only looked it
over, but tasted it, and all pronounc-
ed it "good."- Augusta Herald.

Cotton Prices Will be Higher

Boston, Nov. 3.-As result OF
the present condition of the cotton
crop, seriously diminished by the dep
relations of the boll' weevil, buyer
and consumer must not be surprised
if cotton prices are higher, Russell
T.. B. Lowe of Fitchburg, president
of the National Association of Cot
ton Manufacturers, told the semi
annual convention of that body here
tonight. Speaking at banquet that
marked the conclusion of two day
session, Lowe asserted that the Wee
vii had destroyed more than $780,
900 worth Of the crop and that the
question of the raw cotton supply had
become serious.
Looking into the future" he said,
'ethe general opinion is that the cot
ton industry is headed for prosper
ity with shortage of production
when demand becomes normal.
"The whole textile industry faces
too much uncertainty in regard to
the purchase of cotton. The price
fuctuates to such an extent that the
manufacturer can not plan his work
nor can the garment manufacturer
be certain of any price on which to
base his product. There are few in
dustries, if any, in which such spec
ulative feature is present"
Shipping board efforts to procure
for American ships "the carrying of
proper share of our imports Of
Egyptian cotton" were approved in
a resolution adopted.
"The possession by the United
States of a merchant shipping of its
own, rightly proportioned to the
strength of other American indus
tries, is essential to the security of
our commerce and vital to the na-
tional Defense" the resolution added.
American diplomatic representa-
tives abroad were called upon in 9TH
er resolutions to be watchful "that
there be no improper discrimination
against the products of the United
States by any country"
The convention also announced
in resolution that in view of the pres
ent depressed condition Of American
industry, abnormally low cost Of pro:
duction abroad and the foreign ex-
charge situation, it entertains the
solemn conviction that it is impera-
tive that there be no further delay
in the enactment of an adequate pro-
tective tariff bill"
