Another suggestion was well receiv'

give a plate, cup, saucer, knife and

This would insure over 100 of each

The Abbeville Parent-Teacher as
sociation held their regular monthly
meeting at the graded school yester-
day afternoon. There were over lou
interested mothers and two fathers
present to enjoy the excellent
Thanksgiving program rendered by
the children of the first two grades
of the schools. The program as given
consisted of the following selections
and was one of the very best the
Children have ever given:
Thanksgiving Greeting-Mary Cor
nelly.
Thanksgiving Verses
.----First and Second Grades.
Indian Song-Boys of Second Grade
Laughing Song
---------G Girls of Both Grades.
Chorus - Ensemble.
The teachers who trained and d.
rected the children who took part in
the program yesterday afternoon de-
serve considerable commentator for
the excellence with which the chill
dren sang and spoke the parts as
singed them.
Following this feature the presi-
dent, Mrs. Henry Gillian, called the
association to order and the secre-
tary, Mrs. Amos Morse, read the
minutes of the last meeting which
were approved. The treasurer, Mrs.
W. H. White, gave an encouraging
report of over $50 in the treasury.
A month ago the treasury contained
only a dozen dollars.
Discussion of the book agent pro-
position which was deferred from
last meeting was had. 1t was final
ly carried that no action be taken
relative to the selling of the books
proposed at this time.
The president reported that about
$35' was realized from the barbecue
dinner served November 10.
Miss May Robertson, chairman of
the program committee, announced
that the program for the December
meeting would be given by the pupils
of the seventh grade. This meeting
will be held Tuesday, December 19
and it is expected that a real Christ
mas program will be given.

FOOTBALL FRIDAY
Last Game of Season on New Field
Between Abbeville and Johnston

DCS"OCn <ApbCSAtC odA SSAASASn
The last game of football for this
season will be played on the New
Field Friday afternoon between
Johnston high school and Abbeville
high school. The referees whistle
will blow at $3.50 sharp, as it takes
a fast game to be completed before
sundown this season of the year.
The game should be almost a du-
plicate Of the Saluda game last Fri
day, which was filled with enough
thrills to satisfy the most penurious
fan. Johnston defeated Edegfeld by
a score Of AZ to 0 which was heav-
ier score against Edgefield than Alb
beville was able to pile up.
An effort will probably be made
to have the places Of business in
town close for this last game of the
season.

TIGER DELIVERS
FIRST ADDRESS.
SPEAKS BEHIND
CLOSED DooRs-FoRMER PRE-
MIER OF FRANCE VERY MUCH.
IN EARNEST IN PRESENTING
PLEA. sn5

New York, Nov. 21.-Georges
Clemenceau, advocate of France,
unleashed his oratory today before
one of the most critical audiences
he is likely to face in America. tf5
Appearing for rs minutes talk
before a group of newspaper ed
itors and publishers at a luncheon.
arranged by Ralph Pulitzer of the,
New York World, the venerable
Tiger plunged so deeply into the
subject closest to his heart 1t was
So minutes before he could find a.
stopping place.
His auditors represented many
shades of political opinion, Among
them were men who had written ed
itorials, criticizing his views on
world politics. Butt at the end Of
his address they were all agreed on
one thing-that Clemencean is pas
sionately in earnest about the cause
of France and that his addresses
will be well worth hearing.
Tho speech was delivered behind
closed doors and it was generally
agreed that it should not be report
ed. But it was authoritatively des-
cribed as follows:
'M. Clemonceau made a speech
that was marked by extraordinary
eloquence, frankness and sincerity.
'tHe said that he had not come to
America to tell the Americans what
they should do but to show then
what France needs.
ellis address was a complete cam
did discussion of the situation as he
sees it and was marked throughout
by deep emotion.
"He specifically requested that.
no textual reference be made 'as he
wished to reserve the matter for
his public, addresses"
Col. Stephen Bonsal, who is mn
mediately in charge of the, Clemen-
ceau tour, said tonight he did not
know how long the Tiger would talk
in his first public address to be de-
livered tomorrow evening in the
Metropolitan opera house.
eve have urged him for his
health's sake Unite himself to an
hour" he said, but he may speak
two. But however, long he speaks"
there is no doubt hut that he will
hold his audience"
The 81 year old ex-premier drove,
after the address and lay down for
nearly two hours, He appeared
somewhat wearied by his effort but
was up again shortly before 5 o.
clock to go to a reception cf the.
Franco-American society at the
home of Thomas W. Lamont.

SENATOR. DIAL
SPEAKS IN CHICAGO
ONE OF PRINCIPAL SPEAKERS
BEFORE THE SOUTHERN CON-
MERCIAL CONGRESS.-SAYS
COTTON FUTURES LAW ISN'T
FAIR TO PLANTERS.

=
Chicago, Nov. 21.-The present
cotton futures contract law "revers
es the laws of common sense and the
customs of merchandising" by per-
mitting the seller to deliver any one
of ten grades to the buyers, Senator
N. B. Dial of South Carolina, de-
clared today in an address before the
Southern Commercial Congress.
He urged amendment of the act
to give the purchaser rights to equal
these of the seller. Under the present
system, he said, the grower suffers
because purchasers sell out thelo
hedges rather than accept delivery
of inferior grades, and the conse-
quent heavy sales depress the price
He cited figures to show that in
1920 only 13,34O,Ooo bales of cot
ton were grown in United States,
while there were contracts sold for
28,90%5oO bales. From August l.
1920 to July 81, 1921, the actual
number of bales delivered at New
York was only 267,7OO and at New
Orleans 100000.
ttUnder the present practice Sem
ator Dial said, "even the lowest
grades of cotton are not sold at their
value because you have not brought
the right parties together.
Furthermore, the prices quoted
on the exchanges do not reflect the
price of the market. For example,
on March %, 1920, March contracts
in New York were 1852 spot 40
cents a pound; in July spots 1916,
contracts $3.50.
"Artifcial supplies are created at
the pleasure of the sellers of con-
tracts without enlarging the demand.
The law of supply and demand is
thus hobbled. Who ever puts up the
most margins can carry prices his
way. I am not endeavoring to legis-
late value into a commodity. This
could not be attempted. To my mind
the foregoing clearly demonstrates
the inequality of the present law
and it's unjust operations against the
grower.
"I suggest either one of three renf-
edies which I am satisfied will great
ly improve conditions, but urge the
last one, to wit:
First, require the specific grade
to be specified at the time the con-
tract is made.
"Second, allow the purchaser and
the seller of contract to each Sc
lect half of the quantity. But in Or
der to avert the possibility of a cor
Rer either up or down let them divide
each half equally in two or even
three grades.
"Third, do away with the middling
fair as one of the grades tenderable
and divide the other nine grades in
10 three classes-A. B. and C. with
three grades in each class and make
the middle class the basis, with dis
count for a grade below and a pre-
MUM for a grade above.
~ have introduced amendments in
the Senate along the lines suggested
above, but I am told that the task
is too monumental to be accomplish
ed, and that it would cause a revo-
luton in marketing believe in rev.
olutions when they are necessary
to accomplish justice"

address to which Lord Curzon, the
British foreign secretary replied.
Lausanne, Nov. 21.-Greece pre-.
sents a sad spectacle at The Lau'
same conference. The advance re.
presentatives of the. Greek delega'
ton are flying their blue and white
flag from the hotel where they are
staying.
Former Premier Venliosis expect
ed here to plede Greece's cause be-
fore the peace conference. The plea
will be chiefly for charity-for
bread and the shelter necessary to
save the lives of hundreds of thous-
ands of refugees driven from Thrace
by the victorious Turks and for the
protection of the rights of the
Greeks minorities in Antolia and
European Turkey.
Greece will seek to retain special
rights which it's citizens enjoy in
Turkey and which it claims are nee
essary to the life and happiness of
Christians living in a Mohammedan
land. The Greek delegation afso will
endeavor> to protect the patriarch of
the Greek Orthodox church in Con-
stantinople and prevent his expul-
ion, which would remove the las
remnant of the Byzantine empire
from Stamboul.
The task of M. Venizelos at Lau-
same is extremely difficult, While
King Constantine and his advisers
are blamed for the disastrous mill
tary adventure in the Smyrna area,
it was Venizelos who won a footing
for Greece at Smyrna through the
Serves treaty.
The entente statesmen, it is said,
cannot forgive Venizalos for his ex-
cessive territorial claims and extra
VACANT promises as jto Greece's mill
tary strength. Many of the states
men of the Sewes conference are
out of power, consequently Ven
izelos faces chiefly European d.
plomats who had no part in the pre-
vious negotiations and who are far
from pleased that Greece made it
possible for Turkey to defeat her.
Turkey is so boastful and in max
ing such extravagent claim that she
apparently believes she defeated all
of the allies, rather than Greece
alone This is netting to the diplo-
mats of the allied powers and it is
believed this will make the situa-
tion of Venizeios an extremely Ery-
ing one.

CATTLE SHOULD NOT BE
TURNED OUT TOO EARLY

The first pasture grass Of early
spring has a very high water content
and relatively low feeding value.
Thus the cattle must eat very large
amounts Of grass in order to supply
their body needs. As result the pas
ture is closely fed down at the very
beginning Of the season. Very often
this means acute feed shortage in sum
mer.
As soon as the snow melts from the
hillsides the dairy former is sorely
tempted TO turn his cattle out TO grass
and save the further expense Of barn
feeding but TO yield to this temptation
is a short sighted policy because IL
will be followed by very scant feed in
the pastures before midsummer, says
S. G. Judd, acting extension specialist
in dairying at the University Of Yer
mont and State College Of Agriculture.
Due to the short hay crop last year
the temptation this spring will be
stronger than ever.
When cattle are turned out before
the ground has settled the turf is
punched up by their feet and The grass
is checked in growth or destroyed.
This young, watery grass also has q
decided purgative effect upon the
cattle and they will often shrink
in weight.
The best farmers Of the state follow
the practice Of keeping the cattle in
the barn until the grouni has settled
and the grass has s good start At
this stage il is nearly an ideal ration.
As general policy IN Vermont let
US not turn our cows out 10 pasture
until after May ist
