The Care of The Potatoes.

If you have second-crop potatoes
still In the ground. do not lose any
time in getting them lifted. Store in
cooler cellar or in heaps outside,
covered with pine straw and earth
enough to keep frost out. A cellar
There you can have free ventilation
and can let in the cool night air at
times so that the temperature can be
sept down just above the freezing
point, and total darkness, will keep
Irish potatoes better than anywhere
else. Such cellar can be best made
away from any building and with
double roof. Or you can dig into q
hillside and make a cave that will an
swer the purpose.
house for sweet potatoes should
be kept at about 40 to 45 degrees, but
for Irish potatoes. the nearer you can
keep them just above 80 the better

In planting a corn crop the planter
should first determine how much he
aims to make to the acre. Those who
made to 10 bushels last year should
aim for 20 this year. This can be
done If the farmer has the right sort

easy-going, careless. slouchy man

Before the next biennial munich
perfected to institute a commission
form of government in Sumter. The
act passed at the recent session of
the legislature, providing for a COM
mission for Columbia. has some ad-
mirable features. but IL would have
10 be amended In some particulars to
adopt II to the needs Of Sumter. A
commission Of three capable business
men could administer the affairs Of
this city far better than they have
been In the past and more efficiently
and economically than would be pos
sible with a larger body; but the de-
tails OF commission form Of gov
ernment. particularly adapted to the
needs OF this city. could be worked
out by a committee Of citizens. A
worry along under the old order fov
two years more. IL Is not too soon
TO begin now to arrange for modern
fzing the city government at the ex-
pfration OF the term Of office of the
City Council that will be elected
next month. The needed change
will never be brought about unless
the Chamber OF Commerce, or some
other representative body of citizens,
takes the initiative. works out
the plan and secures the passage of
an enabling act by the legislature.
We suggest that this matter be con-
sidered at the next meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce and steps
taken TO organize a special commit
tee OF three or FIVE to study the en-
tire subject and draw up a plan for
this city.
Unless a sufficient number of rep
resentative citizens-property owners
and successful business man-shall
summon all the public spirit they
possess and offer their services to the
city. the municipal election soon to
be held will go by defualt. Serving
on the City Council is a thankless
task. we all know. but the services of
nine good men were never more
needed than at present. The men
who have most at stake In Sumter
should consider this when asked to
become candidates. They should lay
aside their personal preference for a
private station and serve the public
without hope of reward, appreciation
or thanks. The management Of the
Affairs Of this city for the next two
years will be no light undertaking
and Is task that should not be COM
mitted to the hands of any save men
OF proven business ability.

COTTON SEED BREAD.
MIR. b. F. Taylor, of Columbia, Has
Some Samples to Exhibit.
columbia State.)

cottonseed oil mill mems national
organization, will next Monday deliv-
er an address at the university on the
subject of their products. The lecture
will be illustrated with scores of sam
pies of the by-products. from soap to
an emulsion to be taken by invalids,
and from absorbent cotton for
wounds to guncotton and other ex-
plosives.
But the most astonishing exhibit
will be that of bread made from
meal from the cotton seed. 1t has
long been contended that the cotton
seed is grain crop, and now the
table may be supplied with bread of
much palatability.
Cottonseed flour has been used for
bread making in Ennis, Tex, and Mr..
Taylor yesterday received a large ex-
press package containing plain bread
resembling pumrernickle, ginger
bread and even fruit cake. The label
on the package containing the fruit
cake, says:

no wheaton flour; no butter; no lard,
Purely Vegetable.
A number of housekeepers in Co.
lumbia who have tasted the bread are
wanting the recipe for the making of
1t and the loaves that came here
were subjected to an interested in
spection.
Cottonseed bread has the outward
appearance of bread made of graham
flour and "eats mighty good" The
Associated Press explains that the
cost of the cottonseed flour is said
10 be only 80 to 70 per cent. that of
cereals, while it's nutrtive value is
declared to be from five to seven
times as great Ana lysis shows that
cotton seed contains 37.7 per cent.
moro protein than wheat -four. Mr..
Taylor explained today that in the
bread and cake the product of bread
is obtained while the protein in
meats, that for which meat is eaten,
is had, so that this bread and cake
las the nutritive value Of ordinary
bread and meats combined.
The bread, it is explained, can be
made either from pure cottonsecd
flour in which case it is very pala-
table, but dense, or from so per cent.
cottonseed hOur and 90 per cent.
wheat flour in which case it becomes
lighter and resembles more the
wheaton bread.
The cake is very tasty, and those
who tried it here today faxed" for
more Of it.

thousand cloak makers, who have been

contest to the end for the right OF Ia
Dor under sanitary conditions, average
hours, living wage and recognltio ,

factories, deserted for sixty-three days
there was heard the whirr of maehin-
ery and the laughter and chatter of
workers. And in the, crowded tene-
ments the aged and infirm dependent
and the very young children, unable
to work, were as cheerful as their par
ents, brothers and sisters, who Wer''

.lwood
Sticks

! Elwood, Ind.-Everything is looking
very good for the tin mill boys. The
main excitement here, this week, has
been in the mill men going back to
work, or making applications for po-.
sitions. There have been some amua-
ing features and some sad ones. or
course, we all know that it was not
the will of the A. A. boys from Elwood
to go back to work. but was due to the
position the Eastern men took In fore
ing this strike of. Had the ElWood
men had their way about 1t, 1t Wouso
never have been called on. and they
have no love for the men that forced
them to go back to work in an open
shop with Hunks" and scabs an"
such trash. 1t takes a man with a
brave heart to go back and work on
the same mill with such men.
But a day will come when the same
men that forced the strike off will be
glad to strike again under open shop
conditions.
Those that got their job back mere
say that they knew things were bad
here in the mills, but after they got In
there and saw for themselves, they
said. it was fierce. One of the strilk-
ers went in Sunday night, at L. ana
doubled for scab crew, and he saaa
that he had to cut up sixteen packs
one after another. and that the turn
only brought the roller 81.
Now I think we have seen all OF our
boys, and I cannot think of one man
than will go back when the test comes.
RI is a. scale or no work here. We DO
not care to go up against the game the
mill men had to. We only hope tnae
the mill men OF the East will encour-
age our boys to stick the same as they
do here.
one of our boys was talking with
scab timer, Monday evening, and ne
said they were going to need a lot OF
timers very soon, We know tina.
Another of the scab timers got burn
ed, yesterday. Tuesday evening, ABOUT
o'clock. He was covered with metal
fiux. face and hands, when they took
him home. There has been thirty-sev
en- quit the tin house and asserting
room since Saturday, the 10th.
Here's hoping that every man In tne
East will stick Until we get q settle
ment with the Company. Victory We
must have.
