SUMTER'S DAT
CROP LOOKS
MIGHTY GOOD
LARGE ACREAGE PLANTED
Seasons Have Also Been
Favorable

Sumter county, it seems, is going to
produce this year the greatest oat
crop ever grown here, if seasons are
at all favorable. The acreage recent
ly planted here is the largest ever. in
the opinion of many farmers, while the
condition of the crop at this time il
said to be all that would be desired.
The planting season in October and
November was very favorable, and the
mild winter and frequent rains since
that time has started the crop off in
fine shape.
Mr.. W. B. Heys, who makes a spe-
cialty of growing oats upon his farm
three miles east of Americas. said yes
terday that the crop conditions were
excellent and that a great yield
would doubtless be made this spring.
Mr.. Heys makes about sixty bushels
per acre as an average oat crop.
Last year the oat crop of Sumter
was estimated at 100000 bushels-an
enormous grain crop for one county,
but the acreage was large and tho
yield excellent in proportion. This
year even better results are expected.

ALLIES WILL RESUME WAR
Unless Demands Are Com
piled With

London, jan 14-The decision
definitely to break up the peace con-
ference in London simultaneously
with the presentation to the Turkish
government of the note of the Eu-
ropean powers was reached today by
the chiefs of the peace delegations of
the Balkan allies. The resolutions OF
the representatives of Bulgaria, Monte
negro. Greece and Servia will be com
municated to the porte in formal
note.
At the same time it was decided
to instruct the commanders of the
forces of the allies in the field to
terminate the armistice which has
been in operation since Dec. 3.
Since that date hostilities between
Bulgaria and Servia on the one side,
and Turkey on the other have entire-
ly ceased. Greece, which did not
sign the armistice protocol, however,
has continued fighting against Tur-
key, both on sea and land with great
success.
Montenegro, also, which was nomin-
ally party to the armistice, has been
engaged in the interim in many severe
skirmishes with the troops forming
the garrison of the Turkish fortress of
Scutari, which gives no signs of sur
rendering.
It is believed that the Ottoman
troops there, most of whom form part
of the regular army are fairly we'll
provided with food and ammunition
as Scutari was always a great cen
ter of the grain trade and the Turks
have considerable arsenal there.
Janina in the south of Epirus, was
the rallying point for a large force of
Turkish troops who escaped from
Monastir and other places in Mace
donia and Albania. The Greeks have
closed all approaches to the fort
ress from the south, but to the north
and west the communications are
still open, and the Turks there are
able to obtain supplies.
The threatening note of the allies
to the Turks is to be worded in sucn
a way that it will become effective
only in the event that the Ottoman
government refuses compliance with
the advice given by the ambassadors
of the European powers.

Saving Trouble
By GEORGE FITCH.
Author of AT Good Old Sivash."

0AVING trouble is a thing which
ruins men and makes mankind
- great
All men are born with an ambition
20 save themselves trouble. In this case
trouble generally means work. When
a man can save an hour of work he IS
as happy as if he had Just found a
quarter and knew place where he could
spend it without too much eNertiOn-
There are two ways of saving trouble.
They are as similar as war and peace
and their results can be distinguished
from each other by mere amateur.
Mankind Is divided into two classes ac-
cording to their motive for saving
trouble.
One class of men saves trouble in
order that they may have as little of
It as possible. One can find these
men everywhere. but particularly IN
places where Ioafing Is the most salu-
brious and where the job cometh not
This sort OF man viii let his corn 90
uneultivated in order to save himself
trouble will let a customer go away
unsatisf;ad to save trouble; and viii
save himself so much trouble and worry
and labor in an ordinary job that his
employer will often sell out in order to
oct rid of him.
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1913-06-20

There Is another class of men who
save trouble in order that they may
have time to accumulate more trouble.
These men viii spend a week in figur-
ing out how to do two hours work in
one; but they viii not 90 fishing in the
second hour. They viii do two hours
more of work.
Trouble saving of this kind has given
Us the sewing machine, the spinning
machine. the steam engine, the corn
planter. the self binder, the telephone
the automatic shoe maker and the DeDsn
pill. which saves nine tenths of each
meal time for the busy man until he
dies Of Indigestion
Trouble saving of this kind has en-
abIed the world to do its old job in
about an hour a dav. But it still keeps
busy the other II hours As a result
where man once was content to earn
his daily bread and make his clothes
from sun to sun. he now does these
trifles in no time and spends the rest
of his DAYS in designing automobiles,
moving picture theaters. new and shock
ing dances and enlarged money bins
