"THE BEST COFFEE"

We are often asked: "What coffee is best."
There are two coffees that, blended together, produce
a perfect blend—a blend that is universally recognized
as the one best coffee. These two coffees are:

Genuine Arabian Mocha
Old Government Java

It will cost you very little more to serve Mocha
and Java in your home, and then you have the happy
knowledge that you are serving the BEST—there is

GREAT PATRIOTIC
DEMONSTRATION BE
GIVEN BY LADIES
----------o----------
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE)

ners will receive each a scholarship
in this greatest correspondence
school in the world in window dress-
ing or commercial advertising. If
these courses were bought in the
usual way they would cost $125.00
each.

The windows will be undraped at
eight o'clock sharp, and most of the
Greenville folks not including lit-
tle folks tucked away in bed—will be
in the business district to learn what
his majesty, the Greenville Merchant,
and her royal highness, Dame Fash-
ion, dictates to the American world
as her latest cuts and stunts for 1917.

Patriotic Demonstration.

One of the features of the Fashion
Show will be the Suffrage Parade and
parade of Chick Springs Military
Academy cadets and Furman Univer-
sity students which will take place
Thursday night. The Chick Springs
cadets will arrive in the city at six-
thirty o'clock tomorrow evening and
assemble with the parade formation
at the American Bank at 7:45. The
students of Furman University will
also form at the American Bank.

As stated above the feature of the
parade will be the unveiling of Old
Glory by the suffrage party at the
intersection of Main and Washington
streeet. Thirty or more cars in which
will ride suffrage workers and sym-
pathisers will lead the parade pre-
ceded by the band which will render
patriotic music up Main street when
reaching the above mentioned point
the parade will pause and to the
strain of "The Star Spangled Ban-
ner" an immense American flag will
be unfurled. Under the brilliant
lights from these two great business
streets the red, white and blue will
be duly honored every man, woman
and child in the parade and on the
streets being urged to join in the
singing:

"Oh say can you see by the dawn's
early light,
What so proudly we hail at the twi-
light's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were
so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs
bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our
flag was still there,
Oh say, does that Star Spangled Ban-
ner yet wave,
O'er the land of the free and the
home of the brave?"

"On the shore, dimly seen through
the mist of the deep,
Where the foes haughty host in dread
silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er
the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceales,
half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the
morning's first beam
In full glory reflected, now shine on
the stream;
'Tis the Star Spangled Banner; oh
long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home
of the brave.

All participants in the parade are
most earnestly requested to be at the
American bank not later than 7:45
o'clock so that the parade may move
promptly at eight o'clock.

There will be enough inspiration
in this parade to establish for all
times the loyalty of the Piedmont
folks to the Stars and Stripes, and
the banners and devices borne by the
loyal sufferegists, will be taken enough
of the patriotism of our American
women.
--------------------o--------------------
IRISH POTATOES ARE
NOW MORE PLENTIFUL

The market for Irish potatoes has
recently loosened up considerably
and the supply has been greatly in-
creased, according to a local grocer
this morning, who stated that the po-
tatoes could now be secured for about
$1 a bag.

At Easley yesterday the Irish po-
tatoes were reported as selling for
$3 a bushel.

WHEEL OF DR. EARLE'S
AUTO BADLY SMASHED

The front wheel of Dr. Curran
Earle's automobile was badly smash-
ed and the fender of another car
bent, when the two collided on Main
Street in front of the Piedmont
Shoe company this morning. The
other car was a Dodge.

As far as could be learned the ac-
cident was unavoidable and neither
of the drivers were to blame.
--------------------o--------------------
No Orders Yet.

Chief Boatswain's Mate, S. C. Mc-
Arthur, who is in charge of the local
United States Navy recruiting sta-
tion stated this morning that as yet
no orders had been received by him
to recruit women for the navy ser-
vice. Orders have been issued out to
the main naval stations to that effect
by Josephus Daniels, secretary of the
navy according to news dispatches.

FOUR YEAR OLD
MEMBER RED CROSS
----------o----------
Little Miss Susan Gassaway,
Youngest Member of Green-
ville Red Cross Chapter—
Splendid Campaign Being
Made For Members.
----------o----------
The Greenville Red Cross Chapter
can boast a member who is probably
one of the youngest members in this
great national organization. At any
rate she is the youngest and certain-
ly the most charming and adorable of
the members of the local Chapter.

This little lady is Miss Susan
Gassaway, attractive little daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Walbec L. Gassa-
way, who patriotically gave in her
membership during the two days'
campaign which the Chapter has
been conducting yesterday and to-
day prior to Dr. Daniel's departure
for Washington where he went this
afternoon in the interest of the Red
Cross Work.

Although not quite the required
members had been reported at the
time of Dr. Daniel's departure, it is
expected that the membership will
be far in excess of the two hundred
by the meeting to be called in a few
days when all those working in the
membership campaign have made
their reports.

At this time the patriotism of
every man, woman and child in the
United States is at its hightest and
the local Chapter is quite hopeful
that it will be able to raise the one
thousand which will practically as-
sure it The Red Cross hospital for
the state. This is a matter in which
every citizen of Greenville should
beel an interest and everyone can do
his or her part by becoming a mem-
ber of the Greenville Red Cross
Chapter. There is no age limit. A
baby one day old may enlist as a
member in this organization just as
can the oldest man or woman.

Russell of This City, Dies
in Hospital in Texas.
----------o----------
News was received in the city yes-
terday of the death of Ben F. Russell,

a serious operation for gall stone.

Mr. Russell was a member of the
National Guard, being a member of
Co. E. 1st Ga., Inf, N. G., of Waynes-
boro, Ga.

Mr. Russell was a former Green-
ville boy, having lived in Greenville
until abut a year ago. He was a
plumber by trade, being connected
with his brother-in-law, J. A. Capoll,
in the plumbing business in Midville,
Ga., where he enlisted for his coun-
try when the call was made. He was
26 years of age. He was the young-
est brother of J. A. Russell of this
city, who had just received a letter
from him saying that he would start
home tomorrow, his regiment leaving
El Paso tomorrow, March 22, for Sa-
vannah, Ga., to be mustered out.

He has many friends in the city,
having been raised here, where he
served his apprenticeship as a plum-
ber with Deak & McKeehnie, plum-
bers of Greenville.

Mr. Russell is survived by his fath-
er, S. H. Russell of this city and two
brothers, J. A. and B. R. Russell all
of Greenville and one sister, Mrs. J.

DANIEL CHOSEN
HEAD ADVISOR
----------o----------
Greenville Man Gets High
Office at Woodman Conven-
tion—Next Meeting Be Held
in City of Rock Hill.
----------o----------
Rock Hill was selected as the next
meeting place for the State conven-
tion of the Woodmen of the World,
according to dispatches today from
Greenwood, where the Woodmen of
the state [began?] their meeting yes-
terday.

John M. Daniel, of Greenville,
member of the local bar and a promi-
nent Woodman, was elected head

pointive and will be announced later.

The head camp was formally wel-
comed to Greenwood yesterday morn-
ing in the county court house. Ken-
neth Baker rapted the crowded
house to order, using a specially
made gavel, which was a men's size
alright, having a four foot handle
and was a fit companion piece to the
key to the city another study in
wood some four or five feet long.
The invocation was made by Rev. L.
P. McGee, pastor of Main Street
Methodist Church. Mr. Baker most
cordially welcomed the delegates and
was followed in similar happy ad-
dress of welcome by Dr. B. H. Dem-
ent, pastor of the First Baptist
church and by Dr. E. J. Smith, the
one speaking for the Masonic [badies?]
of the city and the other for all
other fraternal organizations of
Greenwood. Capt. H. C. Tillman,
on behalf of the city extended a
warm and whole-souled welcome.
Head consul M. J. Spear of Lamar,
and Past Head Consult C. A. Powers
responded most appropriately in
these addresses.
--------------------o--------------------
LOCAL FOLK EXPECT
TO ATTEND MEETINGS
----------o----------
U. C. T. College Y. M. C. A.,
and Sunday School Meet-
ings Soon.
----------o----------
Many local people are interested
in the coming three meetings to be
held in the cities of this state and Green-
ville will probably be well represent-
ed at each. The meetings are the
College Y. M. C. A.'s which meet
in Columbia on March 25-27, the U.
C. T., which also meets in the capital
city on May 25-26, and the Sunday
school workers convention in Spar-
tanburg on May 1-3.

Thirty or more presidents and
treasurers of South Carolina college
and university Y. M. C. A.'s will
meet in Columbia March 25-27 for a
conference designed to train the offi-
cers in their duties. The presidents
and treasurers are newly elected offi-
cals who will take charge of the Y.
M. C. A. work of their respective in-
stitutions at the next session. Fur-
man will probably be represented at
this meeting.

The United Commercial Travelers
of the two Carolinas will hold their
grand council in Columbia May 25
and 26 and national and state officers
and more than 100 delegates will at-
tend. Members of the capital city
council are making arrangements now
for the meeting of the grand council.

Greenville church workers are ex-
pecting to send a strong party of re-
presentatives in the annual conven-
tion of the South Carolina Sunday
School association to be held May 1,
2, and 3rd in Spartanburg. A large
crowd is expected in the sister city for
this meeting.
--------------------o--------------------
REPORT MANY CASES
CRUELTY TO ANIMALS
----------o----------
Citizens Urged to Report Them
to the Proper Officials
Promptly.
----------o----------
The bad condition of the streets
and roads resulting from the re-
cent heavy rains has resulted in the
reporting of a number of cases of
inhumane treatment to animals. The
Piedmont was informed today. A
number of cases have been reported
on Park Avenue, it is understood.

Citizens are aided by representa-
tives of the Society for the Preven-
tion of Cruelty to Animals to co-
operate in eliminating the inhumane
treatment by reporting all cases that
come to their attention to the chief
of the city police, at telephone No.
[53?], when the offenders will be dealt
with. If citizens are unable to
reach the police headquarters, they
make the report to Joseph A. Mc-
Cullough, of the local bar, who is a
representative of the Society here.

N. A. McKelthan was called to
