Lesson for July 7th. Exodus 24:3-8. Golden Text: Psalm 33:12. Moses was one of the greatest leaders the world has ever seen. "His people, exiled in Egypt, and pressed into compulsory building operations, needed a resourceful champion to arouse them, bind them together into a well inte grated arm, and persuade them they could successfully escape. Such was Mooes, God's man of destiny. He was the third child of Joche- bed who hid him three months that he might escape the death decreed by the king for male babies. Then placing him in a chest, or ark made of papyrus stalks, coated with slime, she set him afloat on the Rile, where he was discovered by Pharaoh’s daughter Thermutis. She had come to bathe in the sacred waters of the river, and her heart was touched with pity at the sight of the weeping babe. At once she took him home where he became her adopted son, and received the education of an Egyptian prince. Thus he grew learned in the lore of the Egyptian traditions. More over, according to Josephus, he was appointed general of the Egyptian army, defeating the Ethiopians, and was slated to be king. But the privileges of the court and the army did not wean him away from his suffering people. He remained a patriotic Hebrew with a capacity for righteous though overzealous indignation. Excited by the sight of an Egyptian cruelly abusihg a fellow Hebrew, he killed the tyrant, and hid his body in the sand. News* of this murder reach ing the ears of Pharaoh, Moses was compelled to flee to Midian, east of the Jordan, where he acquired that discipline, forbearance, and first hand communion with God which stood him in such good stead in the flight from Egypt and the wilder ness. What a prophet! And what a lawgiver! His greatest achievement was to unite the Israelites in the worship of the one God. Fire At De la Howe Sunday Night McCormick’s fire department was called to the De la Howe State school Sunday night about JLO o'clock when fire was discovered in the laundry which was an annex to the Tech building. Abbeville's de partment was also called but the fire had full sway before anything* could be done to stop it. v All the laundry equipment and many of the blankets used by the institution in the winter along with much clothing were destroyed by the fire. It is thought that the lire was caused by lightning. -T Fords Equipped ^ For Vacationing " \ With the approach of the vaca tion season the minds of the motor car buying public is turning to the subject of motor cars—and more especially to motor cars that have suitable equipment to improve the vacation trip. Perhaps that is the reason that Ford dealers report such great in terest in the Ford V-8 touring sedan, for here is a car with ex ceptional baggage carrying facili ties which are bound to win the heart and the applause of everyone who has ever tried to make a long trip with the family’s luggage stor ed under his or her feet or jammed inconveniently between the legs and feet of the rear seat passeng ers. The new Ford touring sedan has a trunk which is a built-in feature of the car with about two and one- half times as much luggage ca pacity as the trunk which was for merly sold as an extra for the Ford sedan. “To scores of motorists their car is their means of transportation when they go on cross-country trips,” said J. /T. McGrath, of Mc Grath Motor Co., local Ford dealers. “To them this trunk means that they have ample room fo£ afl the baggage of the family' without crowding. This adds materially to the comfort of the touring party and the pleasure of the trip, es- |>ecially when it is a long journey.

RICHARDSON, Chief Game Warden. Columbia, S. C., June 28, 1935. 86 Per Cent Vote For Adjustment On Five Crops ’ i - The democratic principle of ma jority rule has governed in four agricultural adjustment referenda through which producers of five of the nation’s principal farm com modities have expressed their opin ion during the past eight months on continuance cf agricultural ad justment programs. More than 86 per cent of the to tal votes cast in referenda on corn- hog, cotton, tobacco and wheat pro grams favored continuance, and the percentage of farmers who par ticipated, compared with the total number of those who were eligible to vote, was considerably higher than the usual percentage of eli- gibles voting in civil elections. The total vote cast in the four referenda was 2,918.678. Of this number, the vote in favor of con tinuing the adjustment programs was 2,511,109, and the total of those opposing was 407,983. The total vote was divided as fol lows: in the corn-hog referendum, 535,690; on the Bankhead r Cotton Act, 1,521,887; on the Kerr-Smith Tobacco Act, 394,540; in the wheat referendum, 466,561. The vote for a continuance of the respective programs was; corn- hogs, 374,585; cotton, 1,361,347; to bacco, 370,907; and wheat, 404,270. In the com-hog referendum ap proximately 70 per cent of the votes cast were in favor of continuing the adjustment program. This was the lowest percentage supporting the program in any of the refer enda. The percentages in the other three referenda were as follows: cotton, over 89 per cent; tobacco, over 97.3 per cent; and wheat, over 86 per cent. Those voting on the Kerr-Smith Tobacco Act voted on the basis of acreage and more than 98 per cent of the acreage was voted in favor of continuance of the Act. This was the only program under which voting was on an acreage basis. WANT ADV. WANTED—Man to start in business selling widely-known products to satisfied consumers. Complete line.

Small children them selves like the dress because it is so pretty and so comfortable to wear. The little round yoke is a sweet frame for a sweet little face and the tab which comes from the skirt buttons up over the yoke and conceals the opening in the front of the neck which is made to slip the head through. The nice flare to the skirt makes ripples, especial ly when made on a bias cut, and allows plenty of freedom for skip ping and running. The puff sleeves are gathered into the sleeveband which has the same sort of closing as the front tab. A cross-barred gingham in blue and white would look well in this design, combined with white for the upper part.

The larger woman who does not 50 in for too much fluttery trim ming will like the smart frock sketched which has its bit of shir king in the white jabot attached, as it logically should be, to the tab extension in the waist. The V neckline is neither too low lor too high for the full figure, and ?mall tucks on the shoulder add to the softness of the blouse. One may use this pattern for a housefrock, too, by using the short sleeves given. The skirt has slenderizing panels in the front and back.

FRU N’OLY KF.I.ATiONS Accompanying the plaque was a personal letter from P. W. Litch field, president of Goodyear, to J. T.

SHIRRED JABOT FROCK PATTERN 8481: Shillings are so through newspaper advertising, in which it has long been a conspicu ous leader. “We are constantly on the look out for any means of making our appeal to the public more effec tive,” said Mr. Fisken, “but up to> date we have found nothing to compare with the newspaper as the ‘main highway’ for our advertising expenditure.” The day’s sessions were in the nature of round-table discussions^ and the subject was referred to the dealers for expressions of opinion. At the close of the discussion, which was strongly in support of the plan, the dealers voted it their unani mous endorsement. The conference, held under the supervision of William E. Holler,, vice-president and general sales: manager, sought to obtain free in terchange of ideas on the mutual problems of the company and its: dealers. Several round-table dis cussions were on the program, and dealers were invited to offer cuir- structive suggestions on advertising and other subjects relating to their business. Several suggestions made at a previous conference of the same type were adopted with ex cellent results, and the cementingr of dealer-factory, relations made possible through the conference, more than justified the undertak ing, fn the opinion of Chevrolet officials. While the meeting was termed a “dealers’ advertising conference,”’ its scope was wider than that name would imply, Mr. Holler explained! The sessions touched upon every 7 phase of Chevrolet dealer activity— new cars and trucks, used cars, parts, accessories, service, account ing and business management, and' financing. Representatives of each Chevro let department outlined for the group of dealers the company’s plans for the summer, so that when the dealers left Detroit they took with them a complete picture ofT what is in prospect.

Chevrolet Dealers Endorse Newspaper Advertising Seventy-four of Chevrolet’s lead- ! ng dealers, who together accounted for the sales of 38,116 new cars and •rucks last year, attending a two- day conference at Detroit on sales and advertising plans for the re mainder cf 1935, went on record as manimously endorsing the Chev rolet Motor Company's decision, an* nounced at the closing session, to -etain the newspaper as the back bone of the company’s advertising media.
