Women's Auxiliary to Game Cock Boys Organized. Owing, perhaps, to the Inconven? ience of the hour to housekeepers, the meeting this morning at the Court Hoasa to organise a Women's Auxil? iary to the S. L. I. was rather smaller than anticipated, but those present were not lacking in enthusiasm and earnestness. The meeting was called to order by Mrs. John Sumter, who later was appointed temporary chair? man. She stated that with the excep? tion of the Sumter boys all the com? panies at Styx were being furnished by home organisations with little com? forts and appetising boxes that not only made more pleasant for the boys the camp life but were a sub? stantial proof to them that they were not forgotten by those from whom they had gone at the call of duty. The purpose of the meeting she said was to organise an association similar to those that had been formed for the benefit of other companies. The mo? tion was made and carried that the organisation should be permanent or at least until the need for It should no longer exist It was decided that all organisations of the town should consider them? selves Invited to unite with the aux? iliary and with their aid further this good cause. Among those mentioned specifically were the D. A. R., the U. D. C, and the Civic League. A general discussion of a definite plan of action brought forth some vary excellent suggestions, among which was that a hundred boxes, one for each of the boys from Sumter at Styx, whether In the in the 8. L. I., or In some of the other companies, be sent over to the camp as soon as ex* redient, another was that literature be sent our boys, along with the boxes. The following Is the menu as adopt? ed by the auxiliary for each box: One fried chicken, six stuff od eggs, biseggja. pickles, piece of cake, pa.ck age><ae* eafenceo, package- of cigarette pafjjpsl box of talcum powder ,&nd As so few were present this morning it was decided to call another meeting for tomorrow afternoon at five o'clock at the Court House and It was suggested that those ladles who were interested in the work of the auxiliary but who would not be able to attend this tn.ee.Upg sand their name to Urn Sumter. with a statement of how mtiny boxes they were wining to furnish, Tuesday uext was proposed an a goo? day on which to send off the**, i-oxes, but was not definitely decided on. A committee composed of Miss Telcher and Miss Edmunds were ap? pointed by the chairman to see about getting a hundred boxes of a suitable else and Mrs. Bland and Mrs, Shaw were appointed as a committee to ar? range for securing transportation for these boxes (filled) to Styx. Those present were Mrs. Sumter, Miss Tsicher, Miss Edmunds, Miss Hall, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Ingram, Mrs. Shaw, Mrs. Nunnamaker, Mrs. Bland, Mrs. Reynolds, Mrs. Childs, Miss Childs. Each of those present was constitut? ed a committee to boost the Woman's Auxvlllary to the Game Cock Boys, and it is hoped that tomorrow's meet? ing will attest to their efficient efforts in that capacity. Remember the hour Is 5:30 and the place the Court House. Be sure, la? dles, that you are there and on time. Where is Your Binder? Now that the grain crop has been cut, reapers and binders should be placed safely away out of reach of the weather. There is no machine on the farm which la harder to keep In running order than the bind? er, and if it Is to be used another year, then It should by all means be oiled wail and painted If necessary, and pat safely away until needed again. There are far too many right now standing out in the weather. Mr. Farmer, if you ap? preciate your binder as you should, get busy and see that it la under shelter and out of the way where will not get broken. Unless you uw you will be sure to have trouble next spring when harvest time comes again. Planters and distributors should likewise be put saioly away, and care taken that no parts are lost. A thorough cleaning of all farm ma? chinery which will not be needed again this year should be made, and when the time comes to use them again they will be in good shape. jiiiHimmimmimiiiHiHiiiiiimiiiiiu^ Have You Enrolled?
