Thursday afternoon Inst there was an interesting game of base ball be tween the ClaAln University base ball team and the local colored toam.' There was a large crowd of white and colored fans out to root for the home boys while the girls from the Browning Home,- graduates and ex-stu dents of Claflin rooted boldly and well for the visitors. The game was excit ing from beginning to end. Batter ies for Clnflln ? Fred Aaron and James Forest ; <, for Camden? Si Harris and DuBose. At the beginning Harris be gan terrifically hurling his twisters and fast straights but the Claflin cracks were on bis tracks and Scored two runs ou the first inning. For the next sev eral innings there were no more scores but good playing on both sides. Tow a his the last, the game became more Intense and the locals slipped in two while Claflin added three and end ued the gome 5 to 2 in favor of the Claflin team. Fred Aarbn pitched a cool and scientific game through the nine innings for Claflin and carried the laurels of the day to his school. Claflln's lnflolders looked and play-, ed like rude invaders while the out fielders reminded us of a set of de term ined . crusaders. Toussaint Allen played the first base ho well until only a few of our team passed it. Friday the second game of this ho ries took place but Camden failed to get well Into the game. Batteries for Claflin ? Allen Haines and James For est; while Bill DuBose and DuBose started Camden off. The visitors took Bill DuBosela Friday evening cutters and sent them hither and thither and left eleven runs on the score board for the flrst inning. After this the locals made many changes but the vis itors went on and the score ended 20 to 5 in favor of Claliln. Our home boys did well uibler the circumstances and should ?w? encouraged rather than censured. 81 Harris, Tell Brown, Jas. Carolina and catcher DuBose should be commended for their good work. Henry Brooks is captain, for Claflin team. He said they won 50 per cent of the Inter-collegiate games played this .season, and 100 per cent of th2 games played with local teams. Ro far their record Is an average of W per cent. C. C. Lowety. A JURY WILL UKCIDH ;? ? V ... QimwUoii of Th?w*a MtviUI SouiidiiMH v To lie l*?ft to Twelve Men.

Club Women Work to dean Up and Paint Dp Five Thousand Cities CIVIC LEADERS PUT BAN ON PINK TEAS. "Clean Yards, a Few Shrubs and Flowers, and a Little Paint, for a Better Hometown" ? Mrs. Clarence Baxter. THA.T t?e club women of America are not waiting for full suffrage before taking an active part in civic betterment work is proven by the earnest efforts of thousands of women in local "Clean Up and Paint ,U p" campaigns in practically every state in the Unipn. "The men are too buy. or too chesty," said one of these women, "to see the need of or to do slpipie beautlflcation and sanitation work. And yet that work is vital to the health of thousands and to the progress of the community in better living conditions to keep pace with increasing population." "There was a time/' stae continued, "when pink teas and gossip character ized our local club meetings. Bui that time is past. There are a million things for the betterment of the town that we are able to do, and we are trying to do them as fast as we can get to them. The 'Clean Up and Paint Up' campaign, In which we are working shoulder to shoulder with the men, embodies a big batch of im provements we have had in mind. This campaign seems to be a for tunate combination of ideals, 'Clean Up' and 'Paint Upc' It gives us work to do now, with a definite program to start things off, and with absolutely no end of possibilities in permanent constructive effort. And the best of it is that this campaign simply forces the meq to work with us. A success ful campaign means an increased de< mand for many kinds of merchandise, means<conservatlon of property, means increased realty values ? it means a better business town and a better home town. Why shouldn't the men lend a hand?" And thlB woman 1b not alone in her enthusiasm. Mrs. Clarence , Baxter, chairman of the Women's Committee of the National "Clean Up and Paint Up" Campaign Bureau, St. Louis, has seen her home town, Kirksville, Mo., refurbished from the city hall, to cor poration limits entirely through the earnest work of a group of women. As chairman of the civic and health de partment of the Missouri Federation of Women's Clubs, and as vice chair man of civics department of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, Mrs. Baxter is inspiring and advising thousands of club ' women in similar work* She. will bo glad to write to and advise others. Mrs. George Zimmerman, of Fre mont, O., chairman of the civics de partment of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, heartily endorses the national "Clean Up and Paint Up" movement, and is a member of the advisory committee of the National Bureau. The ctvlcs departments of several state federations of women's clubs have already arranged for state-wide "Clean Up and Paint Up" campaigns this year, with a definite week's pro gram to start the ball rolling. One man who always, was harping on the old saw, "Woman's plsce is in the home," has not been heard from since a year ago when his wife led in a "Clean Up and Paint Up" cam paign which practically regenerated the town. JThe good woman repaired and painted a piece of vacant prop erty belonging to lier husband, prop erty that had been a drain on his purse for ten years. She had to flx the place up, she said, because she was preaching ''Clean Up, Paint Up, Re pair,", to others, and . she believed in practicing what she preached. After criticising his wife for her public ac tivity, and 'especially for spending real money on "that old shack," the hus band ? was sorely chagrined one day to receive an offer of $400 more for the property, than his 'farmer valua tion. He made the sale, and shot up. Thfcv Tear he is the heaviest contrib utor to that local "Clean Up and Paint Up" campaign fimd-_ GAFLAC DISABILITY POLICY No Extra Charge for Physicians, Surgeons or Dentists.
