Kendall,( of "rVrndon ami Boston, are on fiee public exhibition in the j library of the University of South Carolina from November 3 to November 17. 1 his is the first extensive displuy of the sort in the history of ; the stute. To South Carolinin&s interested in the history of their state this exhibI ition offers extraordinary opportunj ity to observe its growth by pieans i of maps and to inspect the finest and | largest collection of them in the ; South. To see anything resembling i it would necessitate a visit to the j Library of Congress or ^hc New York ; Public Library. The - public is cordially invited to attend. No charge J of any sort will be made. Fifty of the mpas were engraved i before the Way of the Revolution,! 29 were made during that conflict, ' and 137 were produced before 1860. Many rare and valuable prints will also be shown. The oldest map is dated 1591. The next, made in 1607, shows a large , lake in lipper South Carolina that! did not exist, as well as gold mines J in the mountains. The rarest of the maps was charted by Capt. James j Cook, eatly explorer of the polar regions. The collection has been gathered from London, Paris, Rome, Berlin, New Yrok, Boston, South Carolina ' and the South. The owner of the collection, Henry , P. Kendall, is a nationally-known manufacturer and is president of the Kendall Company, which has mills in Edgefiefld, Camden, Newberry, and elsewhere. He has announced that his collection will remain in South Oarolina, a statement highly pleasing to those who know what an immense quantity of historical material has been taken out of this state to other sections of the nation, never to return.

Two Strbng Teams Meet at Fair Today I Visitors at the county fair today will have the pleasure of seeing two of the strongest high school foot ball teams in the State fight it out on Zemp field at 3 o'clock. The Orangeburg team in Claps A, ! with O* W. Pipkins, a Purmaiv star, as coach, meets the Camden high school team. Orangeburg has not been scored upon this season and only three times has Camden been scored on with the points mighty small. This game is one for exhibition purposes only, and will not count in the championship standing, but it .will be none the less hard fought. Orangeburg will have to put up a mighty stiff fight; if she doesn't her redord of not having been scored on will very likely be broken this afternoon. The game will be called at 3:00 o'clock and the admiwion fee will be 50 cents and 25 A large crowd should greet the home boys at this game. Get-Together Meeting Members of the Presbyterian church and their friends met Halloween night' at the community house near Chillers' mill where they held a gettogether . meeting. A program of games and light amusement under the direction of Mi*. Floyd Beaver was entfoyed ior a time. A delightful chicken stew prepared under the direction of Messrs. W. R. Watkins and T. Lee Little was served to the nearly two hundred guests. Own-Your-Home Drive To Be Made This Yeat ? Messrs. W. R. Zemp, president, and j J. U. Wallace, secretary and treaaur-j er, of the Enterprise Building and j I/oan association, ainl L. A. Wittkow- I sky, attorivey/for the WateTee Building und Ix>an association of thb: city,! were in attendance upon a state-1 wide meeting -of building and loan1 associations held at the Jefferson hotel in Columbia last Friday, and listened' to an interesting address by It. Hollby Myers, president of the United States Building and Loan league. There a^e al>out 18,000,000 families in this country living in rented quarters, and the building and loan associations are going to try to put at least 500,000 of these families into owned homos during next year, said Mr. Myers. Mr. M^era is on a three-months' tour out of his home in Los Angolce. He is a member of the Hoover com1 mittee appointed two months ago to. study ways and means of encouraging home ownership. A state-wide meeting of Building and Ixian asso- j ciations was called for Friday in Co -, lumbia to hear his address. About 100 attended, representing all parts' of the state. Hosrts to the meeting were the building and loans of Co- ^ lumbia. Mr. Myers said that of the 18,000,0Q0 families there are probably 8,000,000 whose occupations and employment preclude home owning. This leaves 10,000,000 families as sales possibilities for homes. The league, according to Mr. Myter>, through its member associations, will urge the modernization of 101^ 000 old homes and the bringing up to date of 200,000 kitchens and bathrooms. He drew a picture of construction and improvement activity to be spurred by his organizations that lend funds for this purpose, that will run into a billion dollars before next summer. "The economic and moral need for more homes," he said, "is so great at this time that the building and' loan associations interested in this question should not wait for people to make up their minds to undertake home buying or building, but should feret out the tenant in his rentovl quarters and sell him the home idea. He said that there are more than 10.000,000 people nH" tinnTwyaMy?tobuy or build homes today. Box Party at Bculah The Epworth League of the Beulah Methodist Church will give a box party and music festival Friday evening, November 15, art. 8 o'clock The place will be designated later.

In the hastcrn states employment plan* are training momentum as civic leader* in New York, Massachusetts and other state* analyze local conditions and take sfeps to meet them. Nearly all of Ameirca'* large cities where the concentration of great numbers of person* presents a problem of employment both in good v times an<l in ikkkt, have taken action to measure their local situations. New York is conducting a systematic survey of her jobless. Twenty thoxisnad names have been listed with emergency relief measures taken to meet immediate need*, but beyond this, the city has appropriated nearly $250,000 to pay additional labor in parks.

Directions are as follows: Mix one pint of 40 per cent formaldehyde with 10 gallons of water. Sprinkle the seed oats at the rate of one and one-half pints of this mixture to each bushel of oats, then cover them with a sheet or some cloth for two or three hours. Allow them to dry and then plant, advises Henry D. Green, the county agent.
