As yet, there has been no increase in the number of Red Cross stickers seen on packages. So few people are carrying their own packages, and even those few seem to think it un necessary to ask for the stickers. Re member, every package you have sent up; every package you carry that has no sticker on it. takes that much money away from the Red Cross. To Close in Afternoons. Beginning Monday. September 23rd Red Cross headquarters will be clos ed in afternoon only, until further notice. Open every morning. Death. Mr. D. W.

My Dear Mama: Received a nice letter from you to |day; enjoyed reading it very much. I have written you real often and when -the mails are delayed, it cannot he helped. You should hear from me at least once each month, or more. I There is hover a week that passes that I do not write to you twice. Now ! that has been the way up to the pres ent time. The month of August seems to be the warmest month during the sum mer, though the nights are real cool and makes sleeping good when you are not under the large guns or rath er, so near them. I know it would frighten some of those little weak men over there to death. I mean those that are afraid of the firing line. It is all good busi ness.' I have been right up there and know a little of how the allies do Fritz. The Sammies are, included, too. Where I am writing this letter is the best place I have had for some time. A good Y. M. C. A.. What would we do without these good peo ple. Whenever you are called upon to. help such a good cause, do not hes itate, for they are giving many moth ers' sons all of the comfort that is available, right in* the trenches. All Y. M. C A. workers are risking their lives for our benefit just as we are for our country. They try to be nice to every one, which I know they are. I am well and feeling real good. Have not been sick only once since I came over. That was due to my trip I< think. I do not feel any effects of the sickness I had last winter and spring. That was the worst spell since I was a kid. Trust that I will keep well.' T guess you see in the papers that we~are giving Fritz about all that he wants. ? Tell Arthur not to mind coming U France for he will have a jolly good time. After he gets over he will for get all about his girl in the U. S The: only girl that I care to m think about and write to, is my good dear sweet mother. Would give most any thing to see you today. I have written to Aunt Bell and she should appre ciate that letter for Fritz was mak ing an awful lot of fuss when I wrote it. Tell all of the family that my letters are meant for each individual and not to get offended because I do not write separate letters. I am so glad, that Papa is getting along so weh and for you, I am feeling good over your condition. Don't get sick any more. I have re ceived lots of letters from Leilah Blanch and sister. Papa must be quit writing to any one. Guess he ha? airplapes on the mind so that he doe.' not think about writing. He should come over here,, this is the placr where a man does not value his life at -all in the air. They do all sort: *f.fancy stunts,- such as turning over ijver 'und di uppjij ?J^Vert' ? fmi ? thousand feet, then start flying again I will write you just as often as I can. Much love to all. From you: loving son, Alfred. PRESS MEETING ENDS. Members Consecrate Their Efforts to America in the War.

AX IMPORTANT MATTER. The Produce Marketing Association is Delayed hy Subscribers Not Paying in the Capital Stock. The Farmerss Produce Marketing Association is slow "in getting under headway, simply because many of the subscribers to the capital stock thereof will not send in their pay ments or thirty per cent as called for. This is just pure carelessness doubtless, or due possibly to the farmers being very busy with their af-j fairs, and each one doubtless imagines his first fifteen dollar payment is a trivial matter and that his delay win in no wise interfere with the progress of :he association or in the securing of the first thirty per cent payments necessary to secure a charter before a permanent organization can be' formed to elect a manager, secure j quarters, and other arrangements for j opening the association's headquar ters to market produce. Subscribers are again urged to send in their checks for thirty per cent, of their subscriptions on a basis of j fifty dollars per share, to E. I. Rear? i don, Secretary, Sumter Chamber of ? Commerce, and to send jtheir checks or make direct payment immediate ly. This is very important as much valuable time has already been lost by these delayed payments. I \ J.
