Old clothing cannot be sent to the

sued by the relief commissioner, this
paragraph is found:
"It is practically impossible on &C
count of the difficulties made at tue
frontier of Holland and Belgium to
get secondhand clothing into the lat
ter country. Consequently such do
nations cannot be transported by the
steamers Of this commission"
Besides money, eatables put up for

subject:
The goods most needed are wheat,
flour, rice, coffee, peas, beans, can
ned goods. cured or salted meats.

corn shucker, shelter, cleaner and
sacker, has been handed a lot of |
information secured from many
points regarding this machinery. 1t
is hoped that he and his committee
will lose no time getting the business
men together on this feture of the
grain market
That the PARROT Milling COMPANY
plant for grinding feed stuffs and
meal ought to he put into operation
goes without saying.
While it is true that commercial
activities are far below par, and the
outlook for whirlwind prosperity
of trade is not very bright for the
next few months, nevertheless the
sumter business men must consider
that there will be comparatively lit
tie cotton crop money in circulation
next year, and that furthermore the
big grain, tobacco, truck and "hOg
and hominy' crop must have ample
facilities for being marketed in order
that the farmers are to have money
to spend with Sumter merchants.
Getting "down in the mouth" and
making no arrangements to do busi-
ness according to the new era of
commercial endeavor forced on this
section will not solve the economic
problems of the day.
What has been lost is lost. But
renewed efforts should be made to
arrange market facilities so that the
hundreds of thousands of bushels of
wheat, corn, oats and of other food
stuffs can be marketed and manu-
facturcd or shipped in merchantablc
shape. The thousands Of bushels and
tons of diversified field products must
be first turned into money before
Sumter merchants, bankers and pro-
fessional men get their share Of the
coin.
Organized efforts among the busi-
ness men, working in harmony with
the farmers are needed more now and
will be needed more than ever dur
ing the transformation period Of
agricultural and commercial activity
brought about by enforced diversili-
cation.
Thousands Of tons Of food stuffs
shipped into Sumter, such as corn,
oats. hay. irish potatoes, turnips,
bacon, canned vegetables, canned
meats and fruits, vegetables Of all
kinds, and other food stuffs, can he
raised, cured, canned and marketed
right in Sumter if market facilities
are provided and Sumter citizens will
only buy Sumter county produce Of all
kinds from Sumter county farmers
They will be keeping their money
right in Sumter as every dollar spent
with Sumter county farmer practi-
cally is spent right in Sumter with
Sumter business establishments.
In the meantime not a dollar OF
Sumter money should be spent Ou
Of Sumter county as long as Sum.
ter dollar can be kept in Sumter
Hundreds Of people are doing with
out the. few things that can't bt
bought in Sumter. If it can't be found
in Sumter it either is not made an!
more or it can be done without.

LEVER WORKS FOR WAREHOUSE
CONGRESSMAN HOPES To GET
BILL THROUGH.

washington. Doc. 6.-Congressman
"A r Lever has returned to Washing
ton and today discussed matters pend
Ing In tho house and senate as fol-
lows:
"Of course I am greatly Interested
in the passage OF my warehouse bill.
Tor to my mind this Is proposal
which will add greatly tn the efficiency
and economy OF our present system
of marketing and distribution of farm
products The bill failed during the
last sessi n when called up because
IL lacked he necessary two-thirds vots
required inder tho rule under which
we were operating at tho time. How
ever. i expect to got the bill before
the house shortly when I can have a
straight majority vote and I have no
doubt OF favorable acticn."
Asked his opinion as to what should
be done In the way of general lcgis-
iation beyond the passage of the ap-
preparation bills. Mr.. Lever expressed
himself emphatically as favoring the
adoption of a rural credits bill. 1T
In tho promise OF the platform, IL is
greatly needed and the quicker we get
IL tho better" te said. 81 can sec no
reason why the differences and opin-
Ions as 20 the proper kind of bill
snouid not be worked out and some
plan agreed upon which would meet
tho sftuation and do the business.
VI believe also that the next con-
gress must deal with the very impor-
tant problem Of reducing federal ex-
peno'tures. The failure OF our party
to carry out Its pledge i'm this respect
ohers. In my opinion. the only Just
criticism Of Its record so far. I am
hrmly convinced also that expcndi-
lures Of public money can not be re-
doced and will not be reduced as Ions
as the present method Of appropria-
ton In continued. Those OF us who
have been In position know the dill
Guilty. almost impossibility, Of resist
Ing the pressure for appropriations to
initiate new and feasible undertake
inss. My own thought is that a COM
mission composed of q certain number
OF members and senator's, probably
cabinet officers and a few civilian ex-
perts to be selected by the president
should be authorized to study the
question In all Of It's phases and repor;
oack mt the beginning of the first ses-
sion OF the Sixty-fourth congress. The
expense OF such commission of
course would be nominal. Some plan
ef this kind seems to me TO afford the
only practical solution Of the problem
which In becoming moro pressing each
day. II is inevitable that We must de-
crease expenses or increase taxation.
VI course I appreciate that we have
only three months In which to handle
the regular appropriation bills nec-
cssary to the maintenance Of the gov
ernment. but IL VIC all mako up our
minds that certain things must be
done and get busy i'm doing them
there is no reason why we should
not pass tho measures have sug-

WHAT TO PLANT.
Charleston Post.

The State and United States De-
partmcnts of Agriculture and county
demonstration agents are putting
forth every effort to convince the
farmer that cotton is not the thing to
plant next year, and in an effort to inn
press upon him the things which it
would be considered wise to put in
the soil during the coming spring,
circular letters are being sent out to
various farmers and business men.
Follows, a copy Of such letter re-
ceived recently by w. NJ. Frampton.
secretary of the Agricultural Depart
ment of the Chamber Of Commerce:
In every emergency plan Of ac-
tion is a great help. The prices of
food products are high and there is
every indication that they will remain
so during the next year. The war in
Europe has disturbed production
abroad and has interfered with con-
sumption and with markets and nnan-
cial conditions in this country. This
state of affairs, familiar to every one,
makes 1t imperative that every farm
er and every community should plan
for next years work accordingly.
1.-The Department suggests to the
cotton farmers the following import
ant things to consider for the next
year.
The home garden is one of the most
important means of cutting down eX-
pnses and producing the living Of the
family on the farm. Set aside good,
rich piece Of land near the house for
this purpose. Prepare it with extra
care and apply manure literally. Sc
cure from your county agent, your ag-
ricultural college or the United States
Department Of Agriculture, directions
for the making Of garden, not only
in the summer. but early and late in
the year. Proper attention to the
garden will give the farmer whole
some food during a large portion of
the year. Get in touch with the Girls
Canning club work and arrange to
can the vegetables and fruits for win
ter use.
Get good seed corn and follow the
instructions Of your county agent in
raising a good crop next year. Figure
how many bushels you will need for
your own use and some to sell and
put your acreage in accordingly. You
will necd corn for the feeding Of your
livestock and your family, and rea
sonable surplus.
IF you can obtain seed at q reason
able price SOW crimson or bur clover
vctch, or some other winter legume.
IL unable to do this put in oats or
rye this fall, peas or beans in the
spring, or use sorghum, kafir corn,
milo maize or some other crop adapt
cd to your climate and soil. Consult
your county agent, your agricultural
college or the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
"As a rule our Southern farmers
have too few chickens. Pay some at
tention to them. With q little work
they can be produced chcaply, and
enough IF them will save the necessity
for purchasing meat Every family
should plan to raise q few head of
hogs ana the crops necessary to feed
them. The county agent will help you
with plans in this direction. Save your
brood sCws and hens and pullets You
can not afford to sell any breeding
stock. Market part of your corn
crop and your peas and peanuts
through hogs and chickens. DO not
be tempted to sell heifers or cows;
breed them to good beef type bulls
and grow your own meat"
