SPLAK SATURDAY MORNING
Speaking under the auspices of the
County Council of Defense, the Hon.
John L. McLaurin, ex-senator of the
United States and former Warehouse
Commissioner of South Carolina, will
deliver an address at the Courthouse
at 11 A.M., Saturday on the war
situation. Senator McLaurin is one
of the largest farmers in South Carolina
and he has a message of special
significance to the farmers of
Chesterfield County. It is believed
' ^that a large crowd will be on hand
Saturday morning to hear the man (
who founded the present state system
of warehouses. <
The County Council of Defense has
had a great ileal of encouragement
in their work this week in carrying
a message to the people as to the necessity
of raising food crops this t
year. At one country school house
?liear Creek?there were seventy- j
five grown up people present to hear
the speakers besides the children.
This goes to show that some of the s
people are waking up to the real peril
in regard to the shortage of food. j
Major W. J. Tiller, county farm
agent; Mr. W. R. Elliott, district farm
agent, and Miss Stella Minis, home
>4 demonstration agent, have been ?n
speaking three times a day for the
past eight days to the people all over
the county. They have been ably assisted
in this speaking campaign by
G. K. Laney, Esq.j.T. A. Knight, Esq.,
and others who are patriotic and real- p
ize the urgency of the government's
call to the farmers to grow food? ^

BUT JADE CAME BACK
Jade Rivera is the name of a color
ed gentleman who was fined $40.01
some time ago for shooting anothe
gentleman of about the same color
But as Jade hadn't paid the sail
fine, an order for his arrest was giv
en last Saturday to a magistrate':
constable.
The said constable not being ac
quainted with Jade, requested th?
town Marshal to make the arrest.
This the constable did very prompt
and led the said Jade before the pro
n?. M "?
ijv> hi?ki no aioremention
ed Marshal then went on a search foi
the magistrate's constable whose presence
was required.
After waiting some time the magistrate
and the prisoner became
weary, not to say impatient, and they
agreed that the prisoner should go
and sec what delayed the police officials.
Hut once out of sight of magistrate
and police, Jade began to think.
Ho was very tired, having plowed all
week, and he knew that those jail
cots were hard.
So it happened that in a short time
the town and vicinity was again beng.searched
for Jade. All day Sunlay
a sharp look-out for Jade was
Maintained but to no avail.
This tale was told to The Advertiser
man on Monday in the presence
>f this same Jade, who was accom>anied
by $40.00 ready to pay his
ine.
He grinned as he leaned against a
lost waiting to bo re-re-arrested.

The following recommendation rerarding
cotton is included in the procruni:
"The South having taken steps to
irovide food for its own people and
eed for its livestock, which is urged
is a matter of both public duty and
elf-protection, should plant as much
otton as can be well cultivated and
larvested.
"While cmphaszing the need for
in adequate cotton supply, the Department
again urges the great im>ortance
of developing diversified
arming in the South. It is better
arm economy, results in the fuller
itilization of labor, and, in the long
un will bring larger returns."?U.

COLLECT CLOTHES THIS WEEK
The Rod Cross has begun it week's
ampaign for second-hand clothing
or overseas relief.
This country-wide campaign was
ndertaken by tlie Red Cross at the 1
i'?iuest of the Belgian relief commision,
which declares that the welltoo-peojile
of Belgium and Kranee are j '
i need of the real necessities and
to poor are absolutely destitute. |
Ivon if money were no considera- ^
ion it would be difficult to provide
uflicient clothing on account of the j
care tv of raw materials, ami so ;
lie people of the United States are
eing asked to look through their]
rardrohes and donate all surplus ;
armcnts. These garments need not J
e in perfect condition, provided they j (
re of (fond, strong material and
orth making over; for the relief
ommission has assembled groups of (
omen all over Belgium who gladly
ike second hand Hothing, rip it up,
ash, sponge and press it, and rclake
it. Often two or more garments *
m he combined to make one new
ne, and the work gives the women
cupation and takes their minds otT
udr misery. (
Outer laments are especially | ^
ceded and black is preferred. This
iniple slatf'tuir in the campaign
ullctin has an all t ><> obviou mean- j
lg and a tragic pathos? "no red and
Illy green," says tin- bulletin,
mong the other "don'ts f<?r doners" (
re these: Don't send anytime.? or s
iir and hard material, stieh as men's
erby hats; and don't send anything v
lade of rubber, such as suspenders
ml garters. I
Men's and women's outer and un- ,
rrdothing and ehildren's tdothes of
II sorts and babv layetts are need'
(let all your old clothes ready,
hey will be called for as quickly as (
ossible. All those in the county
ml not convenient to a Red Cross ^
hapter, who have such serviceable
lothes to donate may leave them at
le ollice of The Chest erfield Adertiser.
They will reach tluir in nded
destination. s
The Deparment of Agriculture is ,
ow opening a campaign urging far ^
icrs to refrain from selling hens ^
mm the first of February to the
rst of May, and at the time requestit?
buyers to refrain from buying s
ens durint? that time.
The Poultry and Kgg Section of the
'nited State Food Administration ,
els that this is a highly desirable (
love and requests your hearty co- ,
peration in seeing that the best possible
results are secured.
Kvery hen which is sold before the t
rst of May represents a food loss to (
he nation of about thirty eggs. The
:>tal loss of eggs represented by til
ustontary selling ??f hens lid ween ^
he first of February ami the t"?: st
f May amounts to about lati.tton
<10 e^tfs. The value of these eyys is
bout HO per cent of what the hen i- .
dually worth, so that this program
oes not entail a loss to the farmer,
ut an actual vrain.
