BARNWELL IN THE LONG AGO.
The plan of the Fourth Red Cross
Roll Call, briefly stated, is to see that
every man and woman in every city
in the United States is asked, face to
face, to join th» Red Cross or to re
new his or her membership and take
out as many additional membershVs
as he or she may care to pay for.
Primarily, Red Cross was meant
for every man, woman and child in
America and in the world. It is a
humane agent created by your dol
lar, your neighbor's dollar for the sole
and single benefit of humanity.
Very few people appreciate the
ramifications of American Red Cross
work in peace time. For example,
did you know that—
Every hou r since demobilisation
your Red Crons has been in constant
touch with the families of M0.MO j M well as its facilities and me thuds

over and above this natural founda

matters of business, society, morality
and religion, go very far to determine
and cement the relations of men and

inevitably become more or less tied

The Cadet corps returned from the

:ime in getting bock to regular work.
[*he trip was well worth while to all
;he cadets and an unusual experience
!or many of them. General Hines,
Commander of Camp Jackson, re
newed the cadets during their stay in
Columbia. ^
The football team was defeated on
aat Saturday by Georgia Tech, the
jeore being 7 to 0. But the Clemson
College Tigers deserve much credit
for this, since Tech ranks much higher
n athletic circles than Clemson. The
rigers will meet the Citadel squad in

they will play Furman in Greenville

did more (if no much) for the Bap

public worship there, nor from the
annual meetings of the. Savannah
River Association, without a good ex-

little pet dog that followed him
around with evidences of strong at

going with him to church and cleav

was told that if Col. Brown for any
reason ever failed to be at church,!
this little canine disciple, on hearing
the church bell, would run to the
place of meeting, go in, jump on the
pew where his absent Master was ac
customed to sit, and there quietly lie
down until the services ended, and
then return home to the object of his
