TREASURES ARE
MELTED To HELP
FEED STARVING
Gold and Silver 0verIayS on
IkonS in Russian Church
eS Are RequisitiOned to
Purchase Food.
(By The Associated rress.)

Moscow, May 80 (by the Asso-
ciated Press) Hammers and chis-
els, welded in matter of fact
manner by employees Of the govern
ment committees for requisition of
church treasures have stripped in
4. few moments the silver or gOli
overlays from ikons that took years
to construct Today these sheets
Of valuable metal are being weigh
ed on scales and melted down to
be sold to help feed Russia's S fam
inc sufferers,
Here and there throughout Rus
STA there have been disturbances in
connection with the acquisitions,
but the outstanding feature of the
campaign to transform these val
uables into bread has been the
calm manner in which parishoncrs
have watched the acquisitions.
Nuns Render Aid.
The Associated Press CORE
spondent spent a morning with the
Moscow roquisitiOn committee
watching the work at an ancient
church and big convent in Mos
COW. At the latter a few nuns,
solemn faced but unresiisting,
watched the methodlcal work Of
the requisitioners and even assist
cd them by pointing out the treas
ures containing genuine diamonds.
Fifteen minutes work stripped
from an ikon all of the silver and
gold, before which Ivan the Ter
rible once knelt, and left 1t a
cracked oil painting. A few snips
of the shears and a collar of tiny
seed pearls Weighing perhaps SIX
pounds and which must nave
taken months of patient needle
work to construct was cut from
another ikon and tossed into a box
with silver cups, diamond-stud-
ded crosses and communion cups
of gold. Scores of hanging lamps
OF silver and hand-wrought
enamel, which had been carefully
tended and filled with oil and
lighted for centuries, came down
Just as quickly and were thrown
in heaps on n wooden bench to be
listed and weighed on the scales.
Most of the wealth of the church
has been placed in the overlays of
ikons. The Greek Catholic church
abhors statues, but permits pic
lures OF the saints. originally
mere oil paintings. these ikons
have been framed in gold or silver
and then overlays Of precious
metal fitted over the canvas. Some
times only the faces Of the paint
ings can be seen under the gold
and silver II the painting is that
OF the Virgin. for example, pearl
necklaces are hung about the
overlay that covers the neck. In
some cases garments heavy with
Jewels are added. When all these
decorations are torn away. there
remains only an old oil painting.
Work Was Methodical.
The work Of the reduisitioners
was extremely careful and method
ical. Though probably communist
themselves and therefore scorning
the customs of the orthodox, they
dotted their hats upon entering the
church. They did not enter the
sanctuary or other holy rooms but
permitted the priest or some other
person designated by the faithful
TO hand out to them the aluablc
articles from these places.

THRONGS AT DEDICATION
OF THE SHRINE ERECTED
IN MEMORY OF LINCOLN

have been erected, for in that time
America had time to grow in The
arts and appreciation that went
back to the simple, massive lines
of Greek architecture to find tit
ting precedent for such a work.
1T Is a significant GEM Mr..
Taft said of the memorial, 'set in
a lonely valley between the hills,
commanding them by its isolation
and its enhancing beauty the cul-
mination of the highest art of
which America is capable. Here
on the banks of the Potomac the
boundary between the two sections
whose conflict made the burden,
passion and triumph of his life, it
is peculiarly appropriate that it
should stand"
Speaks for the Negroes.
The only other speaker was DR.,
Robert r. Motion OF Tuskegee in
stitute, speaking for the negro
Americans. and he laid weight
upon the declaration that it was
Lincoln's name that stood first in
the hearts of these 100000 of
his countrymen. Lincoln's death.
he said, was "the last and costliest
sacrifice upon the altar of free
DOM"
Il speak for the negro race" he
said. Upon us perhaps more than
upon any other group of the ma
ton rests the immediate obligation
to justify so dear a price for our
emancipation.
"A race that has produced a
Frederick Douglas in the midst of
slavery and a Booker T. Washing
ton in the aftermath of reconstruc-
ton has gone far to justify it's
emancipation. And the nation
where such achievement is posi-
bic is full worthy of such heroic
sacrifice"
The only other feature of the
dedication ceremony was Edwin
Markham's declaration of his re-
vised poem to Lincoln:,
"a man to hold against the world;
and the sea-"
In the concluding stanza 1t read:
"And when he fell In whlrIwind, he
went down,
Gas when lordly cedar, green
with boughs,
"Goes down with great shout
upon the hills,
"And leaves lonesome place
against the sky"
At the end OF the ceremony Pres
ident Harding turned to inspect
the great statue, brooding in the
vast, pillared chamber of the tenn
pie, then greeted members of the
senate who had closed about him.
1t was then the president sought
out the bent feeble figure Of Lin
coins son.
And when Mr.. Harding had left
amid another calling of the bugles,
the people out beyond the restrain
ing ropes. surged upward in a mass
to make Lincoln Memorial their
own for all time.

MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
IN civic LEAGUE

Since its reorganization eight
months ago the Civic League has on
it's roll sixty-eight active enthusiastic
members. 1t is the earnest desire OF
these women that they shall have the
interest and cooperation Of every man
and woman in the city who really
wishes our city 20 become bigger, bet
ter, and more beautiful.
To give all such an opportunity to
cooperate membership drive will
be put on this month, Under the di-
rection of Mrs. T. P. Johnson as
chairman with Mesdames Boyd Jae-
obs, julius Eison, Marion Davis, and
Oscar Summer.
AS her committee sub-con1Inittees
have been appointed for every section
of the city and no house will oe omit
ted in the canvass.
Several men who have been helping
the league in various ways have asked
to become contributing members. In
appreciation of this the league has in
corporated in it's bylaws provision for
associate members among the men
and these are invited to attend the
meeting at any time, bring sugges-
tions and join in the discussions.
The officers and members Of the
league appreciate deeply the compli-
mentary and encouraging things that
have been said and written about their
efforts. They realize fully that every
community is afflicted with chronic
grumtblers and grouchy critics-peo-
pie who never put a shoulder to the
wheel in the effort to build up COM
munity or to beautify the city, but
who always do the very cheapest
thing possible-tak. These criticisms
are always in a fault-fnding spirit
and are very often unjust.
To these we suggest that they first
investigate.

Mathis did not give US the price Tor
this work.
At present the business of the laun-
dry is on the upgrade, but Mr.. Ma
this states that since he has been here
he has received a large number OF
new customers and that when he first
came here the out of town customers
fully euualled the number in Newber-
ry. He has now something over four
hundred customers, but feels that he
should have double that number. 1t
takes very small additional expense
to take care of three or four hundred
more customers than the number they
now have, and it is hoped that the
good people of Newberry will fall IN
line and patronize this institution, for
indeed it is an enterprise that every
citizen should feel justly proud of.

ers, department adjutants and impoE-
tart national committees as
its first thought and action calls upon

and efficient functioning OF al agen-
cies affecting the welfare Of our dis
abled comrades; and further demands
that immediate steps be taken by the
proper authorities to completely de-
centraIize the veterans bureau and
settle at once all pending claims.

men given proper care. The American
Legion intends to see that this IS
done"

last week, Dr.. Clarence Poe, editor "t
the Progressive Farmer cf Raleigh
North Carolina, will address the far.
mers and business men Of Newberry
county on Monday, February 18th.
DR.. Poe's address will be along the
lines of cooperative marketing, not
particularly along the line of coopera-
tive marketing Of cotton, but the CO.
operative marketing Of all farm pro-
ducts.
DR.. Poe is perhaps one Of the ablest
speakers in the two Carolinas and It
is needless to say that the farmers and
business men Of Newberry county will
show their appreciation of his coming
by packing the court house to It's ut
most capacity. As announced before.
DIR. Poe is not coming to New5erry
for the purpose of advising" the far
mers, but to give them clear-cut
idea of what can De accomplished
through the cooperative marketing
plan and to tell them what other COM
munities throughout the country are
doing along this line:
Creamery Expert
In connection with the address Of
DR., Poe, Mr.. &. G. Cushman, assistant
extension dairyman of Clemson col
lege will be present and address the
farmers on the creamery subject. The
creamery is now an assured enter
prise for Newberry, and arrangements
to have Mr.. Cushman address the
farmers on the subject of properly
handling the cream is very valuable
forethought of the creamery commit
tee of our chamber of commerce and
one which should be appreciated by
the many progressive farmers of New
berry county. -
It is earnestly hoped that every far
mer in the county will come prepared
to give the creamery committee the
necessary information regarding the
number of cows being milked by them,
and whether or not they will furnish
the cream from these COWS to the
creamery.
Let every one remember the date
of tie meeting and be early in order
to get a seat, as it is expected that the
meeting will be the most largely at
tended meeting of its character ever
held in Newberry. 1t will be called
to order promptly at 200 o'cock in
the afternoon. Arrangements will be
made to have the doors of the court
room open not later than 1:30.
