Christmas Is
Children's Day

~ HE message of Christmas is love.
W Its emblem is radiant, thankful,
contented childhood. Without
love and without children there could
be no real Christmas. The form might
survive but the substance would be
lacking.
Unhappy must be the adult who can
not make himself child again in
spirit at the Yuletide. For Christmas
is the universal children's day. Men
and women are superf1uous except as
they make themselves partners with
those whom the day glorifies.
Let us, then, lay aside the affecta-
tion and arrogance of manhood and
womanhood and be children again.
Let us adopt their point of view and
put ourselves in their places-in the
places Of these sons and daughters
of ours and of the sons and daughters
Of our neighbors. It was only year
or so ago, as it seems, when we hung
our well-worn stockings in row along
the mantel shelf, while our fathers
and mothers looked on with unfeigned
pleasure at the innocent confidence we
showed in the morrow.
Even as you and I. 1t all comes
back in flood Of memories. Life was
simpler then. Our desires were less
pretentious than those our children

Christmas Packages.

A woman whose Christmas pack
ages never fail to reach their destina-
tion in safety says she always writes
the name and address of the recipient
upon the inside wrapper Of the box
containing them. Packages sometimes
lose their outside wrappings, but if
the postal clerks can find the address
on the inside wrapping all will be
we'll. This woman also ties up the in
side wrapping securely before putting
on the outside cover.

THURSDAY, JULY IA, 1921.
MAKE THE MARKET PERMANENT

The Community Market, inaugural
ed by the efforts of Miss Hattie Nc
Murray, home demonstration agent,
opened for the first time in the Gour-
din building Tuesday morning at 10
o'clock. There was not a great deal
offered for sale, but what was, was
quickly sold cut. There was a de-
mand for much larger supply OF
truck and produce than had been plac-
ed on the market for disposal. The
calls for butter-beans, green peas and
string-beans were more than could be
supplied. Vegetables sold Tuesday
amounted to $11.00. The market will
open again next Tuesday and Friday
morning, July 10 and %, at 10 o'clock
and remain open until noon. Anyone
having garden truck should bring it
in and give the people of the town and
community a chance to buy it. Beans
and peas should be shelled and put up
in packages of one quart each. Mutt
ton corn should be offered in the
shuck.
There is no reason why this mar
ket should not be made financial
success. There are large number
of people living in the country who
have vegetables in their garden going
to waste that might easily be convert
ed into cash and at the same time
meet the urgent needs of the citizens
who have no garden to look to for a
supply of fresh vegetables.
In nearly every town the size of
Kingstree, there will be found just
such a market as was opened here
Tuesday. And there is something for
sale the year round. It should be so
here in Kingstree and we trust that
the citizens will patronize the market
Just been opened so that it n:y be-
come permanent, also profitable to
those who have poultry, eggs, butter,
vegetables and other country produce
to spare.
"A town garden is necessarily ex-
pensive, and usually are Of short du-
ration. Many of US will have them
at any cost because of the fact that
heretofore there has not been a de-
pendable market, or supply, that we
might buy as we require.

Help the Red Cross.

The Williamsburg County Chapter
of the American Red Cross will sta
ton some young women in the tcbac-
co warehouses in kingstree during the
tobacco season for the purpose of re-
ceiving such contributions in handfuls
of tobacco as the farmers will give
them. These handfuls of tobacco will
be sold and every penny realized will
be used in this county for the general
work of the Red Cross.
The Red Cross employs a Home
Service Secretary, Miss Daisy B. Warn,
who is always ready to give immedi-
ate, practical relief wherever needed
in Williamsburg county. This year,
no matter has come to the knowledge
OF the chapter without receiving care
full and reasonable attention. And,
the chapter has invited, and still in
vites, any one who knows an oppor-
tunity where it may serve, to report
it.
Not only is relief work done, but the
Red Cross here has begun and is sue
cessfully promoting social service
along constructive lines. 1t stimulates
and encourages those things which
are beneficial to the community at
large. Thus it prevents unwholesome
conditions while helping US on to a
larger life.
The Red Cross is just beginning in
this county. 1t is obvious that funds
are necessary to support this mission.
1t is believed that the tobacco farmers
will give something out of their abun-
dance to help prevent distress about
them and promote the general welfare
of the people of their own county.

POLISH ARTIST CREATES

Perfects Method to Transform

PARIS. France, June 15.-The prob
lem Of how to make ghosts on the
theatrical stage has been solved by
Nine. Boutkovsky. Polish artist. now
working in Paris. She has demon
strated her discovery before invited
guests at her studio. Besides making
this too. too solid flesh" to melt. she
is able to transform scenery without
moving it. This may result in great
ly cheapening the production costs Of
certain sorts of plays and permitting
remarkable effects of magic hitherto
unattained in the theater.
The invention is based on the long
known principles OF chEomatics by
which certain colors are obliterated II
the lights of certain other colors are
thrown upon them. Thus by merely
changing the lights. Nine. Boutkovsky
can make actors disappear from view
or can transform scenery. making. for
instance. an enchanted garden appear
to grow out of a barnyard. The in
vention will have its first public trial
next month in the Eslava Theater.

REDUCTION OF ARMY
DISCUSSED IN HOLLAND
Ministry of War Proposes Drop to
10000 Men and to Shorten
Training Period.

AMSTERDAM. Holland, June Is
The second chamber has begun dis
cussion of a bill providing for the
reduction of the standing army. In
order to bring about a considerable
saving in the military budget, the
Dutch minister of war proposes to
reduce the army to about 10000 men
and to shorten the training period
by ten, six or four months The
radical parties approve of this plan
on the ground that, as Holland is a
small nation, it must lead the way
to the general disarmament Of the
world.
The conservative and moderate
parties are strongly opposed to the
measure, fearing that the complete
military impotence of Holland might
tempt ne1ghboring states to violate
Dutch neutrality or integrity. One
of the Catholic leaders has pointed
out that 1t would be an ineXcusable
blunder to reduce the Dutch army
SO radically while the Belgian army
since the arnistice has been in
creased to 100000 men. The Dutch,
he claims, will never be able to op-
pose such force and will be exposed
to fatal debacle.
1t is not improbable that the bill
will be passed with perhaps some
amendments by the parties of the
right.

GERMANS EAGER III

Washington, Nov. 2S.-Germany is

The commission would carry with ii
German authority undoubtedly for
satisfactory guarantees against the
German aggression which BRAND
says France fears.
The committee would be equipped to
consider the points BRAND raised.
More important, however, to the
German mind would be a discussion
of the reparations question. The
Wirth government contends Germany
cannot meet its reparations payment
after next spring under the present
system.
Iue NeFlndn Official representative
here was scheduled to have an infOr-
NAL talk with a state department rep

ceivable that the subject of German
representation might arise.
Italy, in common with Great Brit.
ain, is understood to be favorable to
having Germany invited.
The United States and Great Brit
ain have already taken steps to bring
Germany into the arms limitation con.
ference.
These steps were described by an
American official as informal and
tentative" So far as could be learn
