KRASS, Prop. UNION, S. C. | I"* . ? i " j.- , Soldiers Reclaiming Land McGrath, Minn., June 3.?Every major engagement of the American Expeditionary Forces in the world is represented by 46 former fighters, who, disabled and receiving government training, are engaged in reclaiming a tract of 3,500 acres of land near here, title to which has been placed in the veterans'^giames. It is the first project of its kind in tho states. The tract has been plotted into forty and eighty atre farms. It has been suggested thai the- sites be named after some of the important battle scenes of the frar, such us Chateau Thierry, Belleau Woods, St. Mihiel, the Argonne , and others. I I However, some fighters object that their various wounds >and ailments are sufficient reminder* of their experiences. Life on the tract is similar to army life. There are bunk apd chow halls and the squad arrangement for work. The men settled herniate in April, coming from the University of Minnesota agricultural school where they were studying under government supervision. In fact they still are being paid for vocational training as their courses stipulate that a certain period be devoted to practical application of their schooling. They are paying for the land in * installments from the salary of $100 a month each receives. k Tho mnn onmn rv-f ioUam V?otm r * ?IV HIV.II, ovillt Vi.

It is planned to * build a school, store and church on 1 the property when the farmers have become settled. , When the tract had been plotted the veterans were grouped in units to begin clearing land. The units work on each man's farm one week. The tract lying in territory developing rapidly as a rich dairying and farming center is chiefly burned-over land, unfit for reforestation and, in its present shape for agriculture. The new farmers present a unique assembly of all nationalities. Some were gassed, others shell-shocked, others wounded by bullets. Then there is "Frenchy," who had a bayonet thrust through his stomach, but is now clearing land and looking brightly toward the future. Opens New Branch C. C. Pearce & Co., well known pro- ( duce dealers of Columbia, will soon have a branch establishment in Asheville. The following item from the Spartanburg Journal will be read with interest: "The Pearce-Young-Angel company, dealers in fruits and produce, are opening a branch store at Asheville. T. C. Young, manager of the local store, is moving his family to Asheville today for the summer. Mr. Young will go back and forth between Spartanburg and Asheville. H. D. High, who has been manager of the Union store of the comuanv. will go to Asheville as manager. G. H. Baugh, who has been here as shipping clerk for some years, has gone ( to Asheville in that capacity. This j makes the sixth wholesale store be- | longing to the chain. The stores now in operation are the ones at Columbia, the parent store; Greenville, Greenwood, Union, Asheville and J Spartanburg." Marion Convicts Father And Son Marion, June 1.?After deliberating for about an hour and a half the jury returned with a verdict of guilty in the case of Thomas Turner, father, and Mack Turner, son, charged with accessory after the fact in killing ot Edwin White, with recommendation for mercy for the elder Turner. Judge S. W. G. Shipp, presiding at this term of court, sentenced Thomas Turner to six months' imprisonment and Mack Turner to one year. The case began yesterday morning. Most of the time today was taken up with the arguments of attorneys. The judge completed his charge at 4:25 and at 5:55 o'clock the jury returned with a verdict. A large crowd of spectators filled the court room throughout the entire proceedings. Unique Idea Bring* in Money Berlin, June 2.?It was observed recently in a small station on the German-Polish border that the people were buying very large quantities of German newspapers. This was attributed at first to a desire to absorb the German point of view on the part of the Poles, but some sceptics insisted upon an investigation. The fact was brought to light that a group of ingenious Poles was purchasing German newspapers at current prices and reselling them as waste paper with nearly 100 percent profit. The paper is pulped and resold in Russia where it is again used as newsprint. It is said the originators of the idea have made much money.

The caloric contents of the market casket are no longer dependent on rhance or the persuasive eloquence >f the grocer and butcher, hut regulated by culinary science. The annual congress of Northeri) Housewives' Union, attended by dele'ijates representing some 50,000 Scan-'4 Jinaviun and Finr.ish members of the league of Swedish Housewives, the Danish Housewives' Association, the Norwegian Home Welfare Association and the Martha Union of Kinland, has just adjourned in Stockholm after a successful session where most of the modern problems of the modern housewife v^ere deliberated and discussed at length. There were no theoretic or revolutionary measures on the agenda, only practical problems such as face any housewife any day of the week. These housewives' unions have exerted considerable influence in dealing with servant questions and regulating market prices on necessities. Thus the Swedish Hnrinor the war and during the hard times following established cooperative stores and formed buying associations that exercised a strong regulating effect on the price level of household necessities, especially foodstuffs. The congress just closed adopted resolutions to arrange for a vacation course of instruction in domestic science and other matters affecting the home at the Aas Agricultural School in Norway, where students will receive instruction in various household duties under capable instructors and will witness demonstrations of the latest methods of running a modern home. Mrs. Agnes Ingelman, president of the National League of Swedish Housewives, said in an address to the delegates that women nowadays hav# to keep in touch with politics, public administration and legislation affect in gthe home. They must get together, she said, and work for the safeguarding of the home, as for instance in its building and fitting up, in arranging home exhibitions and stimulating public instruction in domestic sciences and in establishing employment bureaus, libraries and day nurseries. Excavations Begun on Ancient Site of Colophon Athens, June 2.?American scientists have begun excavations upon the ancient site of Colophon, in Asia Minor. The work is being conducted jointly by the Fogg Museum of Art, of Harvard University, and the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, the former represented by Miss Hetty Goldman of Bryn Mawr, and the latter by Dr. Carl W. Blegen of Yale. Colophon lies about half way between Smyrna and Ephesus. The school hns awarded its two annual fellowships, each carrying $1,000 for a year. One goes to Franklin Clatk Fry, of Hamilton College, and the other to Phillip Haldane Davis, of Princeton University. These men will reside in Athens next year as students of the school. ?? - :u 1SON MOTOR CO., LO DRUG STORE IPSCOMB ART MILLS STORE - - Economy Courts j in Thing of the Past l,tJ la: I ll London, May 15.?Economy is no longer to he the keynote of cour functions at Buckingham Palace. No more "economy courts," as they wen called, are to be held. These were cs tablished by their majesties after the war to set fashionable society a much needed example in curbing extrava ganee. The seal of royal approval %v has now again been bestowed on court trains. Indeed no women can be pre a sented at court who does not wear them. Of course as a man the Lord Chamberlain cannot presume to be a ,l' expert on fashionable feminine dress. but it is one of his many official du j'1 ties to lay down the rules and regulations to which women must conform * ' at the most exalted of court functions.' That is one of the things for which l" he is paid $15,(100 a year. He has t be a peer besides to qualify for t h ^ exalted office which is accounted among the political plums that th Prime Minister has to give away. Tli 1 present lord Chamberlain is in t h top class i f tli<" peerage, lie is th V Duke of Atholl. By restoring the court train he ha? earned the blessings of the fashion- "X able dressmakers. But they won! I have lengthened their blessings if h. " had lengthened the trains. Before th ' war three yards was their regulatio length, while Queen Victoria didn * l'| consider four yards too long. By th new regulations they need be only tw > , yards in length and should not exten 1 * V more than 19 inches from the heel of the weaver when standing. -r To walk backwards before royalty in a train three yards long without getting tangled up in it, imposes i severe tax on tVie agility and skill of not a few socially ambitious women. Queen Mary is a very kind woman and v she would naturally wish to spare her sex making exhibitions of themselve . * Hence she was in favor of the shoi u r length for trains. , m , j-, Trotzky Qualifies as Officer a Moscow, June 2.?Ta.'on Trotzky. j. the Bolshevik War Minister, desirous 1, of perfecting himself in military technique, has completed a course in i the statr college of the Red Army, f He has passed the standard cxamina- j; tions and is now qualified as an of- $ ficer. The examinations were given ? him by officers of the old Russian army. ii How Trot/.ky, who is one of the r busiest men in Russia, f> and time to 9 do this has been a surprise to his <j more easy-going associates in th?e Soviet government. He works from ii early morning until the evening, but a takes time for regular exercise, the * study of languages and voice culture. e He has develoned the vocal nhilitloa b of a Hold marshal, and when called upon to address thousands of troops in the open air, his strident voice is j1 heard even by the rear ranks. 15 I*on Trotzky has developed great executive ability and he never con- ^ corns himself with petty details, lie ( exacts from his subordinates the most meticulous precision. He keeps appointments promptly, thereby d f c fering from other Soviet officials, j and he confines his business dealings to reasonable day time or early even _ _ 9* Union, S. C. Buffalo, S.
