"
Three Civic Clubs Great
,as7Fortune For City, He
''' Tells Lions

Mayor ]. f. Sheppard was the
principal speaker at the Lions club
luncheon Wednesday evening. He
used for his subject, THE Country
Needs Young Men Pgefacing his
Remarks with the statement that the
many great achievements of history
were ACCOMPLISHED by men under 40
years, and coming down } me pres
ent day experience Ca.lag attention
!. 10 the wonderful leadership Of
-.YsNng men of today, Col. Sheppard
a.told the members and guests that
no more fortunate thing could have
happened to Americas than that she
SHOULD have been chosen a. the hon'
of the three civic organizations, III
nw2nis, Rotary and Lions. Referring
to the futile efforts or ,he citizen
Of Americas i'm the past TO establish
industries and manufactures thai
Would hafpS the town grow, he SAID
chs lack Of cohesive action, the lack

E.35e urged the young men to in
TSsligate the workings OF the ma
qg5nery Of local city government, to
in&orm themselves on all questions
t6a would make them capable Of
iaaping what should be done to help
the city. He referred to the need
of@trained young men TO develop
ligzffo electric power for the city,
gaZing that this is one Of the great
npeds of Ameucus today.
1sSoticing that officers Of the
48nericus lighting company were
lgesent, Col Sheppard was a little
dRefnceIted at this juuoture and eX-
p3ained that what he had said had
10 specific reference to local con
dfbons as had been brought into
pE4nt by a speech made recently by
ssluther Americas attorney. This
seA5 a ripple Of laughter over the
room
In conclusion Colonel Sheppard
Neglected that the influence Of the
csHia organizations would be felt in
wears to come, making it certain that
Hmericus would grow into larger
cEtys where the true spirit OF coopera-
ton would be an actual fact and not

LOCAL RED CROSS SERVES
EXkSERVICE MEN.

The John D. Mathis Post No. 2,
Of the American Legion believes in
the local Red Gross and desires TO
let the public know what valuable
service the chapter is rendering in
one Of its phases Of work, namely:
the assistance it is rendering many
Of the eX-seryice men in Sumter
county. We have gone over the
work being done and if the people
Of the county could see first hand
they would sing the praises Of this
worthy and needy organization which
so many through ignorance feel
should have passed away with the
war Especially should every ex-
service man say a good word for this
organization, for at the present time
the secretary, Miss Ruth Clarke, is
giving larger part Of her time look
ing after matters brought to her by
CX-soIdiers.

CLAIMS For CONDENSATION.

During the current year the Red

have been for colored men. When

aSafy information and proofs is kept
IN mind, one realizes something of
the task the office has. About 40 of
these cases have had some action tax

Diversity of Design
In New Fur Wraps

THERE is almost no use that is
not made of this popular fur.
Cheruit has just made a half long
dolman wrap with band of this fur
at least twelve inches wide passing
closely around the figure at the
lower edge of the half length dol
man. Full-length coats in black
duvetyn have deep borders of
monkey fur. Thus, from the mar
rowest fringes to the deepest bor-
ders this fur is equally popular.
In millinery there has been found
nothing to replace it. With aicrette
and Paradise forbidden entry to the
United States, the best substitute is
the monkey fur in the form OF fringe

borders or separate ornaments, in
plumes and pompons made of glossy
simian hair.
The furs illustrated today all
come under the classification Of the
smaller varieties, although most Of
them are Of very generous propor
tions.
Fur wraps and coats for the conf
ing winter are particularly inter
esting not only because of THEN.
beauty but because of the diversity
OF design shown. No longer arc VIC

surprise. This does not mean to the
hem of the very abbreviated skirt
that still share with prohibition the

subject Of conversation, but the
heightened skirt as advocated by the

There is no gainsaying the fact
that blouses of this type have more
