Under the head of new business Mrs. Woodson made a motion, sec onded by Mrs. Lovick Mims, that the chapter be foi med into a Red Cross Auxiliary. After some dis cussion this was carried, and Mrs. Jones will at once make application to our R.'d Cross Chapter for recog nition. The following women gave their names as already members of the Red Cross, and entitled to form a unit: Mrs. E. P. Jones, Mrs. Hugh Nicholson, Mrs. James Byrd, Mrs. Alford, Mrs. B. L. Mims, Mis.

Mrs. Mamie Marsh and Miss An nie DeLoach were named a commit tee to send a flag 9x15 to any of our country boys who should die in the service of his country. So far this service has beeu unnecessary, as we have been so fortunate as to lose none of our boys, but it is asad fact that death in the army is inevi table, and we do not know when the wheel may turn and our loved ones will have to ''pass over the River to rest with Jackson and the host of other brave men who have given their lives for their country.

Mr. Editor : Many people have been asking and complaining about the farmer of tomorow, saying that he will have no one to help him on the farm and therefore he could have no good farm. But I think if the far mer will do his 6hare he will have a very good farm. Why if the far mer of to-morrow does not be. the most prosperous of all men it will be his own fault, and to be a pros perous farmer he must let his car rest awhile, and stay at home to see after the hauds and if necessary roll up his sleeves and get behind the plow himself. The farmer of to-mcr.ow will be the happiest, healthiest, wealthiest and wisest of all raen. Of course he will be the happig i because, who can be happier than a happy go-lucky-farmer. He is healthy be cause he takes plenty of fresh air and takes plenty of vigorous exer cise out in the field p owing old Mike. He is wealthy becase he raises a regular "Hoove " crop of corn, potatoes, flour md every thing that is good to .at. He is wise because of being a farmer. My vision of a farmer starts with the crowing of the roosters very early in the morning. The neigh bors roosters are trying to see which < one can out-crow the other, and it ! seems as if their throat will burst ' in the contest. It is strange that I smaller creatures have taken up the < habit of their masters, by cultiva- 1 ting the jealous and quarrelsome < feeling of rivalry, instead of a t friendly feeling. I I have almost forsaken my vision ? of the early morning on the farm, '< which began with the crowing of 1 the roosters. The farmer of to- ( morrow walKs out on the porch ear ly in the morning, and here it is ^ that he looks toward the eastern hills and sees the wonderful handi work of God in natures beauty. The sun is just rising through the 1 crimson fold of thejskies aud casting her golden rays ovehill and dale. I On every sprier, on every blade of grass, the dew drops sparkle like diamonds, and as they drop from 1 the trees, losing themselves in the grass, they shine in many colors. < There is nature in its glory, Hat on head and corn in hand the ] happy-go-lucky farmer whistling "My Country tis of Thee" mixed . up with a little "Tipperary," pro j ceeds to scatter corn for his <iuarrel some chickens as they fly from the hen house. The old mother hen calls to her little biddies to hurry! ? hurry! And the rival rooster still crowing to the neighbors rooster, i Next we see him standing by the hog pasture looking1 at his Hoover I specials as they carry the law into f e fleet. i After his home duties are done, I see the happy farmer over on the hill still whistling his merry tune, with a every now and then a little intermission of ''Come up Mike." ? Onward he plows in the heat of the sun. Old Mike must be deaf or he ' can't walk straight one, for every ! minute or j,wo, the tune of har or Horses ai I have just re well broken hor? ready for farm w Come to see m< need in livestock you. W.l pee rises through the green corn iield. V At the hour of twelve we see the happy farmer sitting at the dinner table by the side of his little coun try wife. When the meal is over ? nice little chat for desert is served. Back to the field the fanner goes to his steady work. As he passes the corn fields a deep smile comes over his face as the thoughts run tb rongh his mind of a crib over flowing with corn. At eve-tide as the sun is quiet ly going to her rest behind the crimson folds of the sky, we see the happy farmer coming up the lane, still whistling his tune of "My Country tis of Thee" mixed up with the help of "Tipperary," a little wife stands at the gate waiting for his return. Thus the day closes leaving the happy couple strolling hand in hand from the barn yard, while the mighty sun kisses the world good night. The farmer is a thoughtful guy A true, true economizer, For he has no eggs flour and meat to buy And he is raising enough corn to throw at the Kaiser. TANLAC PROVED TO BE A FINE REMEDY. Mrs. Worthey Says She Gladly Gives It Endorsement. SPARTANBURG WOMAN. it Helped Me In Every Way I Needed Relief," Is Her Statement. "Tanlac proved to be a good ;onic and stomach remedy for me ind it helped me in every way I needed relief," declared Mrs. J. J. Worthey, of 58 Kailroad Ave., \wkright, Spartanburg, in a state nent she gave June 7th. 'I was .roubled a great deal with indiges .ion and my whole system was run 3own.
