Fish Free From,
II. p. Fuln1er

The Dispatch-News is in receipt of
a letter from Congressman H. P.
Fulmer directing the attention Of the
people of the Seventh district to fish
hatchery at Orangeburg, and asking
that it be published that they may
avail themselves Of the opportunity
to secure free fish. The letter fol-
lows:
"To the Editor:
1T has occurred to me that the
people of South Carolina are not TAX
ing advantage of the governments
offer to supply them with free fish
with which to stock their ponds and
the rivers, that they are not only miss
ing some good sport but some very
good food.
II doubt very much if many people
in the State know that the govern
ment maintains a hatchery at Orange
burg. In talking to one of the Off
cials of the Bureau Of Fisheries, he
spoke very highly of the Orangeburg
plant and they would like very much
to enlarge it but it seems that the
people are not useing UP the present
output. Last season this station pro-
duced about 100000 large mouth bass
and $4,000 sunfish. There were be-
tween 500 and 900 applications re-
ceived about so per cent of them being
from our State, the balance from
North Carolina, Tennessee and Geor-
gia.
"For the information of those inter-
ested in -ocuring fish, I will say that
the Orangeburg Hatchery propagates
large mouth bass and sunfish and that
only one species of fish is assigned
to any applicant during any one
season and the number supplied is
based upon the water area to be
stocked. Only one application for
any particular body Of water will be
considered. The period Of distribu-
ton extends from the 1st Of May to
the 1st. of September. Applications
are acted upon in order of receipt
and orders fUled-as lal>s as tfffe-sup-,
ply lasts, so that the sooner an appli-
cation is made, the better the chance
Of securing the fish.
Applications require the endorse
ment of a Senator or Representative
IN Congress and I shall be pleased
to hear from those in the 7th. Dis
trict who desire to secure a supply of
fish. All applications should be in
my hands before the 18th of April.
IT hope that our people will not
overlook this opportunity and that the
waters Of our State and especially the
7th. District will soon be alive with
fish.
VERY respectfully,
III. P. FULMER, NJ. c."

Old Soldiers Will
Meet in Richmond

Col. Marion Harman, commander
of Camp Steedman. No. 666, has re-
ceived the following letter from the
general chairman of the reunion COM
mittee, which is self-explanatory:
To all Confederate Veterans and Sons
of Confederate Veterans:
In June, 1852, the anxious eyes of
an anguished South were fixed on it's
capital, Richmond. Mcclellan with
100000 men had compassed her
about; Lee with a scant $4,000 guard
ed her gates. With one voice the
Confederacy resolved that Richmond
should be saved. So, from every:
Southern state came reinforcements,
and to their sons already in the field
solemn exhortation to die before they
yielded the citadel of the South to
the Federals. That gallant army,
hastily gathered, held Richmond
against the full strength of the North
and in the great campaign Of the
Seven Days, thrust Mcclellan back TO
his gunboats. Richmond pledged
herself then not to forget.
Now, sixty years later, in June, 1922,
the friendly eyes Of a prosperous
South once more will be fixed on
Richmond, still the capital of South
ern memories. She will not be be-
leaguered this June, but she will call
for the remnants of the army that de-
Tended her, for their comrades Of the
west for their wives, their widows,
their daughters and their sons.
Richmond will cal Them all-not
that she may be saved but that she
may be privileged to serve. In the
exercises of four days-including the
laying of a cornerstone for monu-
ment to Matthew Fontaine Maury and
a great review before Lee and Davis,
Jackson and Stuart in bronze-Rich-
mond will seek to show that she still
remembers.
You are most cordially invited to
join the army whose coming will ere
lieve" Richmond. The detailed plans
set forth N the enclosed circular OF
information are, in the essentials, as
follows: The conventions Of the S.
c.. V. and the Confederated Southern
Memorial Association will open on
June 10; that of the U. c.. V. on
June 20. All will conclude June %.
Efforts are being made to obtain
the usual reduced railroad rates. The
form Of entertainment adopted and
so generally approved at Chattanooga
will be followed: Visitors can pro-
cure lodging and breakfast in private
homes at from $1.25 to 50. 90 per
day. The other two meals will be
supplied those who desire them as
guests of the city of Richmond and
the Commonwealth of Virginia.
The program Of exercises and en-
tertainments probably will make this,
the thirty-second reunion Of the Con-
federate Veterans, the greatest in their
history. Besides the great review
and the ceremonies at the cornerstone,
there will be addresses by some OF
the South's greatest orators, recep-
tions, grand ball, band concerts, op-
portunities to visit the Battle Abbey
and the Confederate Museum, numer-
Gus side trips, camp-fires-'the old
days. back again in all their colorful
glamor.
Please read with, care the enclosed
circular. For any desired informa-
ton address the General Chairman,

|TOPCOATS FOR
SPRING
BY Rita Stuyvesant-

THEst spring days one needs
a smart top coat whether it
be for sports wear or to
cover the afternoon frock.
How would you like a mannish
top coat for sports wear or gen.
eral occasions made of imported
Scotch fleece in the new length
that leaves a little Of the skirt
show beneath? There is just such
a clever model in rose, olive,
blue. tan or white.
1t is a double-breasted effect
with smart set-in sleeves, pockets
ailor-stitched, and may be worn
with or without a belt, although
there is a certain desirable charm
to the unbelted models. These
are silk lined throughout.
A combination wrap smartly
unusual Is cut in gray and navy.
navy and gray, airedale and navy
gray or black. This wrap is all
in one piece with the upper part
of the light color and the lower
part of the dark material. The
yoke and sleeves are all in one
piece and are stitched most at
tractively. The entire coat is
lined with silk.
Another interesting model Is a
wool cape, copy of an imported
model, reasonably priced. 1t is in
the new tweed knit and comes
in unusual colors, such as beaver
and gray, white and black, black
and orange, jade and gray, violet
and gray, brown and buff.

Food for Child



kind to little Mary and perhaps
she didn't think anything at all
about it. But I could not help
contrasting the food habits Of
this child with those of a child of
one Of Americas wealthiest
parents.
Every morning little Anna was
served a we'll cooked cereal with
lots Of fresh milk and now and
then a little cream. Anna had
been taught to eat cereal not
completely covered with sugar.
Anna never had had sugar on her
cereal AND THEREFORE ANNA
NEVER LOOKED FOR SUGAR
ON HER CEREAL.
Because sugar quickly satisfies
the appetite and therefore takes
away the desire for foods needed
by the body, Anna had been
trained to eat fruit with little or
no sugar used in its preparation.
The woman in charge of this
wealthy child knew that there are
certain elements needed by the
body which a highly refined wheat
flour bread lacks. And so to Anna
bread meant whole wheat or gra-
ham bread, with butter.
Many families complain that but
ter Is too expensive for their use.
Dietitians tell us that a plentiful
supply of fresh milk from which
the cream has NOT been removed
will supply vitamines IL a butter
substitute must be used for econo-
my's sake.
The growth and development
which a child misses by eating the
wrong foods in childhood are ex-
tremely difficult to make up dur
ing adult life.

Advice TO
the LOUeLOrn
BY Beatrice Fairfax.
The Time to Be Home.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
What is the proper time for
a girl to be home after she has
been out with a man frienf?
My aunt thinks that 10 q clock
is the right time, but where can
a girl 60 and get home at that
hour? ALICE.
IF you go to the first showing
L at a motion picture thea:er you
can be home by 10. But at
eighteen you are old enough to be
permitted to go to the theater and
come home when the play Is over.
This means about 11:30-and per-
haps It would be wise to see
things from your aunt's point of
view, which I fancy is that you
can't work very well II you are
out late weekday evenings. But
on Saturday or the night before a
holiday I'm sure she will be rea-
sonable about your going to the
theater or a party in the home of
a friend and arriving home at
midnight.
