Con- 1 gress created it as the National and International agency of the United j States to meet all great emergencies. ] The demands upon it locally, nation- ] ally and internationally are persistent and insistent by suffering peoples at ^ home and abroad. The Red Cross Roll Call is our call to arms. Every member is expected ] to stand at attention and respond 1 "ready" and to renew allegience to the army of service. Only in this way can the work of the Red Cross , be done. 1 The Red Cross is an army. Its 1 members constitute this noble army I fighting the battle of humanity. It ' is the army whose badge is service to < all mankind, to humanity everywhere. ! The emergency is here. It is now facing the Red Cross at home and 1 abroad. 1 Our own ex-service men and disasters at home are constantly with us. 1 And now, the American Red Cross 1 has responded to the appeal of the ? President of the U. S., and definitely i undertaken the work of saving the Christain and other refugees who have < been driven from Asia Minor into I Greece by the Turks." < Chesterfiled county citizens will be asked during the last week of Novem- I ber to become annual members of the 1 Red Cross. We must not be classed as slackers. The following are the committees in charge of the drive: < County chairman, Mrs. J. R. Mil- 1 lard, Ruby, S. C.; county cashier, M. * L. Raley.

About one hudred and thirty-five attended and partook of a most de- ] lightful turky dinner, which was prepared and seved by the ladies of the Women's Missionary Society of the Methodist church. The repast, ser- ( ved in courses was deliclously prepar- ( ed and beautifuly served. Mr. D. W. Knipht, of Jefferson, ^ president of the association, was mas- ( ter of ceremonies. The first speaker was Mr. B. E. Adams of Charleston. He made an interesting talk principally dealing with the value to state and county of the poultry industry and its wonderful increase in South Carolina in the past few years. He complimented this county on the fair that has just closed and especially on the fine showing in the poultry department. Miss Juanita Neely, state poultry specialist, of Winthrop, made an interesting and pleasing address. Judge W. H. Card, of Manchester, Conn., who judged the poultry, was the last speaker. He is rated as ' one of the highest authorities on the subject in the United States. His lecture demonstrated that his prin- ' ciples of standard were scientific and by his drawings he gave evidence of a high degree of artistic skill. As to the poultry show at Chester- ^ field he reiterated the statement quoted last week in The Advertiser, , with this qualification, that one ex- 1 hibitor in Boston showed a pen of ' chickens that for uniformity in col- ' anu VYCIC nu|iti IWI iw HII >thirty we had here. And he further said that even that record can be equalled with what we have. His address was of great value to all lovers of poultry. The banquet was in every particular a great success and marks an epoch in the history now being made by the great "Chesterfield Reds."

The following acount of the state meet of the Rhode Island Club of America at the County Fair last week was written by Judge W. H. Card and will appear in the Rhode Island Red Journal: The word Chesterfield is a famous word. Lord Chesterfield perfected etijuette and general politeness and be:ame famous. The Chesterfield Cigirette is blazoned on bill boards and >rick walls from California to Maine, ind now new fame is added to this famous name of Chesterfield at the <reat meeting of South Carolina red breeders and fanciers at Chesterfield, 3. C., and the "Chesterfield Reds" arc an the way to become equally famous with the noted cigarette and the Lord if ancient song and story. "Chesterfield Reds", in numbers, quality and performance are equal the best Reds from any part of the world. Chesterfield Reds that have made 5. C., of double meaning and worth. In verity South Carolina R. I. Reds if the Single Comb variety are on a par with any exhibit ever staged in in Eastern show, including the bigjest city and the "Hub" of the universe. This may be a strong breeze of Red \tmosphere but it is not "Hot Air". 'Yours Truly" is sometimes given to 'Henthusiasm," yet never to Highfalutin, and I am arrived in the full .ide of R. I. Red glory. As a Northern or Eastern Judge who has hnndled the world's best I im stating without equivocation or mental reservation that this grand :lass of Reds at Chesterfield was far superior to anv Eastern nr Northern exhibit I have judged this season, and would compare favorably with the aest winter exhibits North, East or West. Describing the Reds at this show: Leading the classes were the first, second and third cockerels which were dazzlers of the highest arder in color brilliancy and the tfue Red we all desire. In fact not a iark purple or chocolate bird was evidence in any class, male or female. There were 54 cockerels in competition. First cockerel was a splendid combination of the true oblong type and even dark red shade in every section with but slight defect of black at base of hackle; nice eyes and medi urn weu-snaped comb ana head. Second cockerel was of near the same type failing in fiuff color and carried tail a b.'t too high. Third cockerel was a remarkably striking individual of vivid red brilliancy throughout, losing in type and was a shade off in hackle color. Eight places were given and every one of the winners consistently followed the first three in brilliancy md evenness of color placed in line by minor defects of finish and condition. Of the 54 cockerels not a real cull except a brilliant colored cockerel with enormous side sprigs like antlers. Forty-nine pullets faced the judge and when the eight prizes were awarded many fine specimens were left out of the winnings to give way to the eight beauties that carried the ribbons. First pullet carries the richest, livest under color that 1 have seen in years and almost matches in shade the deep rich red surface color. She also had deep red eyes and a greenish black tail and well marked flights and was easily the leader of tier class. She also won the silver sup for the best female of any breed in the show. Second and Third were close up in surface coloring and of splendid type but failed in equalling the under color of the first pullet. Fourth pullet was also a dandy but the owner failed to notice one feather of solid black fluff which helped to deny her chances over or equal to the second and third pullets. The hen class was the poorest class of all. (It should always be the best class.) First hen was O. K. in pullet color and was easily the winner. Second hen won shape special. In many ways the cock class was the most outstanding class of the Red exhibit. Every specimen was as rich colored and was as brilliant as the great class of cockerels and close decisions wore the cnlo First cock was in fine condition and won shape special. Second cock lost on condition only owing to bad moult but held an even shade of red in and out and won the color spec.ai lor the cock class. There were but four pens in com-' ptition. First pen specimens were well grown youngsters headed by a male of true type and even color with females rich red throughout. This pen also won the sweepstakes special cup for best pen in show of any breed. T-.w ^ Ail AiA/ f A11UU TES OF STATE RED CLUB HERE mature chicks that with age will lead the first pen. The cockerel in second pen will be heard from in later shows. The title of "Chesterfield Reds" belongs to the Reds of this show by virtue of the First cockerel and First pullet belonging to Parnell Meehan of Chesterfield, ably supported by the Fourth prize cockerel owned by Pres. McKnight of the Chesterfield Poultry Association. Added to this is a fact that 16 members of the Chesterfield Poultry Association are also active and loyal members of the R. I. Club of America. Furthermore, the able Secretary, Joe. W. Hanna, of the Poultry Department at the Fair, breeds Reds of this same up-to-date color scheme as seen at this show, which effectually copyrights, signs and seals the title of "Chesterfield Reds" to this grand aggregation, which so splendidly reprmonhwl * ?
