practical results. When the tomOtO

UUalBg tiie club organizer.
Mlsa Lemmon cruaniz "d thirteen
clubs last year with a total member?
ship of something more than one
hundred. All of the members did m>t
persevere until tho end, but this was
too much to hope for and while re?
gretted was not a disappoint nent. The
average of the work done by the girls
was high and great thing i are ex?
pected of the tomato clubs this year,
for the experience gained last year
will enable them to do mon and bet?
ter work and to avoid the mistakes
that hampered their efforts last year.
The following extracts are from
Miss Lemmon's report.
Number of pounds of tom-.toes rais
ed. 89,500.
Number quarti canned, 14,116.
Numl er of canning outlits used in
county, 30.
2 girls each made a profit of $70.
4 girls each made a profit of $50.
8 Kirla each made a profit of $4??.
Average profit, $35.
Amount of money earned by club
girls from the canning of tomatoes
alone, $2,117.40.
Number of varieties of things can?
ned, 4 0.
Number of varieties of jellies, pre?
serves, pickles, catsups, acids, juices,
canned vegetables and fruits, 125.
Number of varieties exhibited, 87.
Number <>f girls making out gov?
ernment report, 40.
Number of girls writing histories of
work, 10.
The motto of our club is "To make
the best better." Every club mem?
ber was urged to keep this motto in
mind, and let her products surpass
any others on the market in purity,
quality and good measure. Miss
Edith Parrott gave the following
grades to ?ome of the girls whose
cans she opened and tested accord?
ing to the score card:
86, 93 1-4, 95, 97 1-2, 98, 98 3-4,1
99, 99 3-4, 100.
Miss Thoreaa Sims of Tindal won
the live dollars offered by O'Donnoll
& Co., for the best quality of toma?
toes. Her tomatoes graded 100.
The 4 II Brand tomato label is used
by all club girls. The 4 (four) H's
stand for the equal training of head,

Oft?Mil immigration. A. Caminetti.
commissioner general of immigration,
back today from an extended official
tour of immigration stations on the j
Pacific coaat, plunged into the prep- i
aratlon of his unnuul report, which
will submit some important recom?
mendation*
"It ie not my purpose," paid he
today, "to direct my recommendations
towards any particular people, but it
Is manifest many Oriontals are get?
ting into thi* country unlawfully.
This is partcularly true of so-called
students. Many of there people, I am
satisfied, merely are laborers, who
come here in the guise of students, j
Proposed regulations and laws will
be drafted in an effort to restrict this
sort of immigration.
"On the Pacific coast," continued
the commissioner, "the admission to
the country of Hindus has become a
serious problem. I am having a search
of our records made to find out how
many of these people aie in the
Untied State? legally. I am convinced
that scores, perhaps hundreds, have
got in surreptitiously. St me have
come across the Mexican and Ca?
nadian borders where hitherto it has.
been impossible entirely t'> prevent
smuggling. This smuggling applies not
only to undesirable people, but to
opium and perhaps to other articles.
I expect to recommend that provision
be made for a more rifiid patrol of
both borders than we ever have had."
Commissioner Caminetti probably
will recommend that an extensive
patrol force be established on the
Northern border, from the Cascade
mountains to the ocean, and on the
Southern border from Arizona to the

with tbe custms servico on both

WILSON WORK I NO IIA Kl).
Ex<BClltlYC Is Devoting Much of Iiis
Time to Selection of Federal Re?
serve Munngcr.s.
Puss Christian, Miss., Jan. 7.?Pres?
ident Wilson worked away on a mass
of letters and documents today, put?
ting in much of his time considering
the personnel of the federal reserve
board soon to be selected by him. Not?
withstanding the understanding
among members of congress that they
will maku no recommendations to the
president for members of :he board,
many other persons have written the
executive. It is not believed that Mr.
Wilson has yet gone beyond the draft?
ing of a tentative list, which he will
go over with his cabinet in Washing?
ton before making llnal selections.
The president is doing more work
each day. He told Representative
Harrison of this district, who chat?
ted with him at the golf links today,
thut he felt better than ever, and ex?
pected to go back to Washington
greatly benefited by his vacation
here.
As Mr. Wilson rode back to his cot?
tage after the golf game, school chil?
dren lined up along the road and
fluttered little American Hags. The
president ordered his motor to slow
down, and waved his cap to the chil?
dren.
Of the many invitations that have
been extended the president during
his visit here, principally for recep?
tions and entertainments, he has de?
clined all but one.
This came today from Gulfport Vol?
unteer Hook and Ladder company No.
1. It invited Mr. Wilson to become
nn honorary member of the company.

UNIVERSITY ALUMNI TO MEET.
Gathering in Columbia on Pounder*'
Day Will be Interesting Event.
Columbia) Jan. G.?One <d the most
important features of Founders' Day,
which will bo celebrated at the Uni?
versity of South Carolina cm January
15, will be the meeting of the general
Alumni Association. These annual
meetings arc looked forward to with
I interest not only because they af
' ford opportunities for U?e renewal of
J old friendships, but because of the
Substantial work which the alumni
are doing for education. The alumni
i loan fund now amounts to more than
$10,000 and is being used for the
j aid of a large number of young men
who are seeking an education.
The How ing circular letter has
been sent out to the alumni:
Dear Fellow Alumnus. The annual
meeting of the General Alumni Asso
| elation of the University of South Car- j
? olina is called fcr Thursday, January
I 16, at 12 M. The meeting will be
I hcUl in the lecture room of LoConte
College. January 16 has been set aside'
as Founders* Day and will be cele?
brated with appropriate exercises.
In the afternoon Prof. Charles R.!
Raper, of the University of North j
Carolina, will speak and in the even?
ing an address will be delivered by
President George H. Deny, of the'
University of Alabama. F.oth of these
men have attained to eminence in
their respective fields and will deliv
I er notable addresses. The success <>f
the day will depend largely up-,
I on the attendance of the alumni. Will
j you not make it a point to be pros
I ent and thus show your loyalty to
your alma mater 7
If a local chapter has not already
been organized in your county, will j
you not at once get in touch with oth-'
er alumni from your county, organise
and send as many representatives as
possible to the general meeting on the
15th? A number of counties have al?
ready held enthusiastic meetings, and
I feel sure that yours will fall in line |
if you will only bring the matter to j
the attention of your fellow alumni.
The University has been making
rapid progress in the last few years. I
but if it is to fully realize the possi- j
bilites of its services to the State the
alumni must rally enthusiastically to
Iis support. The annual meetings of
the Alumni Association have proved
a great help and inspiration to those
WhO are actively concerned w ith dl-!
rooting the affairs of the Institution,
and it is hoped that you will lend your
assistance in making this meetng one
of the best yet held.
Cordially yours,
A. C. Moore.
