How to Grow OKRA. Okra is a delicious vegetable that deserves a better acquaintance with the home garden than it now pos sesses. Say "Chicken Gumbo Southern Style" to the initiated; that is all the argument needed in favor of growing this crop. It thrives on any good soil, and the seeds should be sown in rows 4 to 5 feet apart after all danger of frost is past, or about the same time as to mato plants are set in the open. The plants should be thinned until they stand about two feet apart in the rows. The edible portion of the okra is the pods, which must be gathere,d while young. They are used in soups or as a stewed vegetable. U. S. De partment of Agriculture! ' 4 PERSONAL MENTION.

Columbia- Ohio Various Committees Appoint ed and Big Drive Will Be Made This Week There was a meeting -held at the Sorosis Club rooms yesterday after noon, to w.hich the public was invit ed, but on account of the inclement ""w, wecuon, etc., tnere were oniy a lew present, but these few en Itered whole-heartedly into the work as outlined. This meeting was held for the purpose of nerfectine an or ganization to collect books to be sent to the soldiers and sailors. A big arive is Deing made this week throughout the whole United States by the American Library Assocla tion, to collect at least one million books for our enlisted men. The or ganizatipn which was perfected yes terday afternoon will follow the di rection laid out by the American Li brary Association HJT i M ivuBs Margaret liiDson acted as chairman for the meeting and Mrs s&asser was elected secretary. Miss Alice Le Grande made an interesting talk and explained just how these books were to be collected and where they were to be sent. The next thing to come before the meeting was the election of a cam: paign director, and Miss Alice Le Grande was elected to this position It was then moved and seconded that the chairman, Miss Gibson, appoint committee of three to withdraw and nominate someone for. chairman to select their co-workers. On this committee were: Miss Alice Le Grande, Miss Murchison and Miss Anderson. They withdrew for a few minutes and returned with the fol lowing report, which was adopted: Campaign director, Miss Alice Le Grande; publicity, Mrs. F. R. Long ana jvir. j. a. lAyingston; commer cial organizations, Mr. . Meares Har- riss; patriotic societies and women's clubs, Miss Margaret Gibson; churches, Mrs. L. B. Sasser; Boy Scouts, Junior Red Cross and High Schools, J. J. Blair; Y. M. C. A., Mr. Otis B. Hinnant; K. of C, Mr. J. O Reilly; Y. W. C. A., Miss Anderson; fraternal organizations, Mr. A. S Holden; county activities, Mr. W. A. McGirt; for collection, Mr. Adam Empie. All books are to be sent to the Public Library, but if you cannot take your books there leave them at any convenient place, and phone Miss Le Grande and she will send s Boy Scout to get the book or books It was decided to make the organi: zation a permanent one to last dur ing the war, and the campaign di rector. Miss Le rGande, was elected as neaa oi tne organization, witn tne various committees working under her direction. Wilmington has been assigned, the duty of collecting 500 books, and this is a small amount compared to the population, and as Wilmington never does anything by halves the organi zation feels sure that she will go way "over the top." Already there have been many responses to the cal for books, and it is hoped that by Saturday night at least 500 will have been collected. Don't send a book that you would not read yourself; don't send one tht is all torn, but send- the book that you enjoyed and would like to keep. Send books on travel, history, biography, novels, poetry, adventure Western stories, detective storiesy war books, military manuals, and up- to-date technical books Our fighting men at the training camps, on the vessels and "Aver there" must have the helpful effects of good reading, and every patriotic citizen of Wilmington and aurrounoV ing territory is urged to send at leaBt one book to the collection committee for our boys. There are millions of unused books in American homes and the boys need these boks. Do your part. ' Work on War Finance Bill. Washington. March 20.

Miss Bertha LeCoste will also do a new and nifty act.
