 A month ago Betty found out. She found in Josephine's purse crumpled bill of sales slips of the Kesselman- ODrlScoll store. She also found money. Betty said nothing to her chum. In the meantime Josephine took Betty to Chicago, lavishing money on her chum on several trips. Back in Milwaukee the girls were together a great deal of the time. Then JO- sephine received an anonymous letter. It demanded $100, saying the writer knew of her irregularities and would expose her If the money was not left as an answer to a blind ad" that would appear in the local newspaper Josephine put $100 in an envelope and left it at the newspaper office.

nations When Buying

About $3.50 has been deposited in
the bank by w. W. Dykes, chairman
for Sumter county of the European
Relief campaign, of funds from cash
donated by Sumter county citizens
and money realized from the sale of
produce donated by citizens unable
at this time to give cash. This will
shortly be forwarded. Dozens Of
good-iiearted people have given to
this cause. Many have given in small
amounts, but it has all helped to
swell the growing fund, until the
chairman now is hopeful of reach
ing a total of probably $4,000. In
this hope he is banking on the peo-
pie continuing to respond as literally
as they have since the announcement
a few days ago that donations OF
provision as we'll as would be receIv-
ed and on the householders continu-
ing to buy.
In addition to the $3.50 in the bank,
a. considerable quantity of choice
country produce of many kinds is
on hand at the hightower Toy store,
where Miss Emma Mae Borum is in
charge of sales. Here the donations
are received and placed on display,
where householders are earnestly
urged to call and buy. Produce is
for sale at current market prices.
Every cent received goes into the
fund, no rent or other expenses be-
ing connected with the sale or col
lection of the produce.
More than $50 in cash has been
received from Andersonville school.
The Huntington school has respond
ed excellently, Chairman Dykes re-
ports, and the Concord school has
made donations of cash and produce
valued at more than $42. The names

GEORGIA LABOR
AYSCALECOES
INTO WACEFICH
President of A, B. & A.
Present Many Afida-
Wits To Board

CHICAGO, Feb. Is. - Further
testimony regarding the wage con-
troversy of the A., B. and
Atlantic railroad was given the Rail-
road Labor Board today. The board
had before it sixty-two affidavits or
statements from employees of COM
mon labor in Georgia, presented by
President Bugg, in an effort to show
that the transportation acts basic
wages for labor was too high in that
state. The statements indicated that
the pay for common labor is rang
ing around twenty cents an hour in
Georgia.
Pleas that the A., B. & A. be de-
clared without the boards jurisdic-
tion and the present wage rates be
continued were overruled by the
board Monday. The ruling marked
the termination o ia fight by the la
Dor side to throw the case out of
court on the contention that fnan-
cial inability to pay the wages laid
down by the board last July should
come properly before the Interstate
Commerce Commission and not be-
fore the Labor Board. The poor f.
nancial status of the road had been
given as the reason for a wage re-
duction, to be effective February 1,
which was recently ordered rescinded
by the board.
The boards ruling decided that
each side in the controversy be per-
mitted to present its evidence in its
own way.
