RAISE FOODSTUFFS
By Mail in U. S. and Mexico

Live men must eat, no matter what
else may happen. Food must be had
for one hundred million population OF
this country, with much to spare for
another hundred million, at least, in
the countries now at war.
Only one European country among
those now working mutual destruction
of the ordinary means of living pro-
duces enough food for itself even il
time of peace. Whatever may be the
outcome of the war, there will be al
immediate demand for food, a demand
that will increase the longer war is
waged, demand that is likely to end
the war. IT. s.n....".
With all channels of supplies from
outside closed, with half a dozen ma
tons of beleaguered fortresses, the
condition rapidly taking form in Eu-
rope, we may look for simultaneous
movement in all the countries by the
men and women not in the fighting
ranks for food enouhg to keep them
alive. They will not ask why food is
scarce; they will not hesitate to tane
it wherever it may be found,
The armed forces may possibly be
compelled to turn their weapons
against their own people in riot and
rapine unparalleled in history.
Famine will put an end to fighting.
Then will come the call upon this
country for food. If we have an album
dance, the call will be answered, vita
no distress ON our part. If we have &
shortage, or if we have only sufficient
for our own necessities, the response
" the lOl SlSu uSuIduu Will Ue ulduS
at the expense, of our own people. We
must have no shortage.
We must plant corn, using corn gen
erically for food stuffs. Our farm pos
sibilities have by no means been ex-
hausted. The United States has 1,141,-
100000 acres of land suitable for titled
crops and 61,57O,OOO acres suitable
for mortified crops. We are filling
only 312,OO0,OOO acres, something more
than one-fourth of the possibilities,
and little of our titled area is produc-
ing up to its potentialities. The pres
ent emergency is the opportunity for
return in this country from town
to country. Forehanded farmers are
to be the busiest class of producers
in this country during the next two or
three years. Let all possible attention,
North, South and West, be conferred
upon producing Observation-Disclosures
turer's Record.

Henkhart's motor car with the many
fables of the war, like the story of the
highly electrified barbed wire fence
which held the German soldiers cap
tive while the Beigians turned a search
light on them and sniped them off one
by one. We are getting great deal
of graphic and interesting description
from the seat of war, but we must take
our share of inventions. These are
frequently to be esteemed for merit OF
their own, such as that astonishing
tale of the German cavalry officer who

It doesn't seem possible that war in Europe
COudreVOutionize business methods in South Geor-
gia but it seems that it has done so, and many of
merchants have put their business on cash basis
tits not our purpose to make any radical change
in business, but, in keeping with the spirit of
the times, will for the next month or two offer
big discounts for spot cash. These discounts will
vary from per cent to IS per cent, in accordance
with schedule which we have already made out
This means that all goods charged will be at
regular prices, and that spot cash sales will be dis.
counted according to schedule mentioned above
It also means that the people of Americas and
Sumter County can buy cheaper than they have
ever before bought Hardware, Tinware, Stoves,
Enamelware AluminumWare Buggies. Wagons.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "STEALING
TAIINnEPD

Stealing thunder" wasn't always
a figure of speech. The first man who
pilfered the noisy element got the
real thing and he kept it, too.
AS the legend goes, John Dennis,
an actor of late Elizabethan days,
wrote play and invented a device to
make stage thunder" which was to
be feature of the drama A certain
manager refused to buy Dennis play,
but later in a production of MAC
beth" he used his thunder" 1t was
then the chagrined playwright ex-
claimed, HE would not buy my play,
but he stole my thunder" and,
though his play is forgotten, his
plant is part of eyerybody's vocabu-
larry.

the floor in the doorway.
Next came the intervention fleet
that was what they called it-and
the French and the imperial troops of
MAMMALIAN were in possession OF
Vera Cruz for five years.
Most of that time l lived in the
hills. We were ragged and hungry
we who would not accept Maximil-
lian's dream of truth-and we had
scarcely any arms; but we paid off
many scores, senior! With my own
hands l cut down four of their SEN
tries with machete in the dark.
"The cause of freedom triumphed.
Maximillian paid for his dream with
his life. Then peace of sort. 1t is
pleasant city-this Vera Cruz-but
deep down in it's heart it suffers. The
sun is warm, the rains torrential, the
soil rich-and the lush grass hides
many graves.
Finally, only little while ago the
Americans came again. l had

Perhaps you saw the procession-the
little street cars with the plumes,

many great-grandchildren. They
were taking him to the cemetery. It
was the machine gun.
Lorencillo has taken him."

'Lorencillo? l saw no one"
The old man cackled.
THAT is a good one" he chuckled.
''Lorencillo, senior, was a muy malo
hombre-a pirate. l did not mean
that it was~he who took my cigar
cites. Some thieving boy, perhaps,
but not Lorencillo. 1t is a saying we
have, that is all.
at was long ago that Lorencillo
came-he and his two ships and his
800 men-slipping past the Castillo
San Juan de Ulna in the harbor. They
sacked and burned, robbed and killed.
They drove the women and children
into the parochial church in such
numbers that many died of suffoca-
ton. They carried away much
jewelry and ornaments the
sacred vessels from the church-and
four million silver pesos-conceive of
it, senor!-and so"
Old Morales was not chuckling
now.
"And so it is the custom in Vera
Cruz, when a thing is lost, to say
that Lorencillo has taken it,"
But many Lorencillos have come
to Vera CRUZ" asked.
'fSi! 1t is our fate. My grand
father was killed defending Vera
Cruz against the Spaniards' in the
war for independence. When the
Spanish feet sailed away, in anger it
bombarded the city so furiously that
it was almost ground to powder.

FLYERS SHELL METZ
AVIATORS OF THE ALLIES ALSO
ATTACK BRUSSELS.
Barracks Target Of Birdmen-Zeppe-
lin Reported Destroyed and Occu-
pants Killed Near Newport.

London, Dec. 28.-English and
French aviators, according to official
announcements, have carried out sue
cessful aerial attacks upon the impor-
tant aviation bases of the Germans at
Metz and at Brussels.
The aviation hangers at Frescaty,
near Metz, were bombarded. and it is
believed considerable damage was
done. Bombs and arrows were dropped
upon the railway station at Metz and
upon H., the military barracks at ST.
Privat, just outside the town.
At Brussels II bombs were dropped
on the Etherbeek airship shed, six of
which were effective. The German
hangar was burned.
An unofficial displtch received by
the Exchange Telegraph company
rom Rosendaal says:
1T is rumored here that a Zeppelin
was sighted near Newport and was
shot at by the allies and all it's occu-
pants killed in the debris of the air
ship as it descended"
With dramatic suddenness the
French avenged the Zeppelin attack
on Nancy, in which two persons we're
killed and number wounded. The
French war Office asserts that the
German air attack on Nancy was with
out military reason. On the other
hand, the targets of the French avia-
tors which successfully reached the
German fortress were purely military.
OF all the places on the German
side of the Lorraine border, Metz is
the most important in the present op-
erations. 1t is the great depot through
which pass the supplies for most of
the German forces in the southern
part of the French territory. ~
Because of this, it's permanent forts
now are REINFORCED by almost impreg-
nable supplementary defenses, while
searchlights and antiaircraft guns
have been placed at every available
point from which they can sweep the
skies.
