we should lend assistance. We should
/ remember that charity begins at
home, and while our sincere and last
ing sympathy is extended to stricken
Europe, that there are cases of want
at home which should be looked aft
er first.
The forecast of summer indicates
that the coming winter is going to be
one OF many frosts. II promises to be
the coolest of recent years. The poor
manage TO get along in summer, but
when the biting blasts of the winter
winds blow out of the north a wake
of suffering always follows.
Because of the bountiful crop yield
during the present fall there does
not seem TO be any indication that
our supplies will be exhausted. We
cannot tell. We cannot know. It is
wise to be prudent. Next year the
crops may fail Our bins may be
empty and then we may be face to
face with the same catastrophe that
is now confronting the people of
Belgium. We should sober down and
consider what it means to be feeding
the world.
Out Of every 500 worth of meat
we produce. statistics show that we
sell $7.45 worth abroad, at the same
time importing SO worth in the shape
of mutton, fancy bacon and the like.
Therefore, our appetites at home are
able to take care of 81 per cent of
the meat raised in the United States.
Out of every 500 worth of dairy
products we produce, $1S.37 worth
goes abroad, but at the same time
we import s2.00 worth, making
home consumption of 1913 per cent.
Our imports and exports of poultry
and eggs almost exactly balapce each
other. The statistics compiled by fed
eral crop estimates tell story which
must be heard. Outside of grain and
dairy products our spare supplies
are fractionally too small for much
consideration, OF the two staples
named we can afford to send away in
normal years about one-fifth of what
we produce. This is a normal year
for us so far as consumption goes,
if it is not normal year in Europe.
America cannot afford to go hungry
in order that European siege guns
and other instruments of war may
be tested. Europe is welcome to our
surplus, but Europe has no right to
expect more than this.

Free-Trsde and American Farmer.

Free-ITbut anu hHhCriVdh Toa"C''
In the eight months ending with
August, 1914, our imports had in
creased $114,00O,000 as compared
with the corresponding eight months
of the preceding year, while our ex-
ports for the eight months of 1914
were $2O4,o00, 900 less than for the
same period of the preceding year,
The great bulk of this enormous in
crease of imports under the Free
Trade Tariff has fallen heavily upon
American farmers. Free-Trade in ag-
ricultural products has been a great
benefit to the farmers of foreign
countries. How the American farmer
Jared? To the extent that the people
of the United States consume the ag-
ricultural products of foreign coun-
tries they do not consume the agri-
cultural products of its own country
A pint cup holds only a pint. 1t is
one thing for an American farmer
to fill that cup, and a totally differ
ent thing for foreign farmer to fill
il. When the foreigners are sending
their products to this country the
American people are buying less of
American farm products, and to that
extent American farm hands are be-
ing put out of business for the benfit
OF foreigners.
How has this worked under the
Fyee-Trade Underwood law in the
eleven months ending August 81,
1914. There was an increase in the
value of cattle imports amounting
to $9.0O0,V00; an increase of corn
imports amounting To $4,000, 900; /;
an increase of $S,00e,0 90 in oats of
imports; an increase of $13,500, 900
i'm hides and skins imports; an in
crease in dairy products imports of
$50. 700; an increase in vegeta-
BILE of nearly $1,000 900; an in.
crease of ma1 ufactured wool of more
than 30.000,00O; an increase in i'm
ports of wheat of $l.5o0,000; an in
crease of butter of $1.50O.OOO; an in
crease of egg imports of 81 100000.
The total imports OF foOdstuffs in
crude condition and food animals
was in round numbers 100000
900, which was an increase of $37,-
900. 900 as compared with the cor
responding eight months of 1919.
OF foodstuffs, partly or wholly manu-
factured, the imports amounted in
1914 to $lS1,000. 200. as against
$4,000. 200 in the eight months of
1914. There is an increase OF nearly
$sS,000.000 of imports of articles
which could and should be produced
by American farmers and sold 10 the
American consumers. In the same
period mentioned there was a de-
crease In 1914 of exports OF food

GERMANS NEAR PARIS;
BOMBS WRECK HOUSES

That the French lines are fall
ing back before the German
advance is indicated in an Of
ficial statement issued Monday
by the French war office, which
says the progress of the German
right wing has obliged the
French left to yield ground.
Earl Kitchener, British secre-
tary for war. gives in detail the
part played by British troops in
the operations in Belgium and
France. These operations ex-
tended from August % to Aug
ust 20, and the British losses
numbered about 5000.
The condition and spirits of
the British troops at the front
were described as excellent and
reinforcements have been sent
to more than fill the gaps created
by the casualties.
A German aviator appeared
Sunday over Paris and was en-
gagged in dropping bombs in a
populous part of the city. Sew
eral bombs failed to explode,
according to the accounts, and
the only two persons injured
were women.
Paris is prepared for a siege
should the lines opposing the
Germans be broken. Enormous
stocks of food have been placed
in the State warehouses ano
sheep and cattle in vast mum.
bers have been herded in the
Bois de Boulogne.
A British official statement
says that of the 1000 men com.
prising the crews of the five
German warships sunk in He'll.
goland only $50 were saved.
A Berlin dispatch says that 8
German army is energetically

reasoning is almost marvellous

OF a homing pigeon which recent
iy took up it's quarters in the

"A news item regarding the bird

ne asked DIR. Elliott to release
the bird, that it would go to

bird up on Main street Saturday
to give it an opportunity to re-
turn to its owner, bnt it evident

move it's habitat even to "the

says that he believes the only
way to get it to Columbia is by
Grating it and shipping it by
express and he fears that when
released there it will return to

Parcel Post Eliminates Middleman.

Officials of the department of
agriculture haye been testing out
the parcel post as a means of
marketing eggs and have found
it highly satisfactory. The de-
partment has shipped 466 lots,
consisting of 9. 131 eggs, to vari-
Gus parts of the country and up
on arrival at destination, only
327 eggs. or three and one-half
per cent. of the total were
broken. Ten dozen eggs can be
shipped in one container a dis
tance of $50 miles for AZ cents
per dozen. This includes the cost
of transportation and container.
South Carolina postal authori-
ties advise that the farmers and
farmers vices of this State are
utilizing the parcel post extern
sively in selling farm produce
direct to the consumers and ex-
cellent results have been OBJ
tanned.
The parcel post system of
marketing entirely eliminates the
the middleman's profit and di-
vides the profit of the middleman
among producer and customer.

Health is the source of beauty, and
every rule for beauty is simply a rule
for health. A girl cannot have firm,
elastic body, clear skin, "a fine color
and bright eyes unless she exercises,
sleeps and eats profusely and sufficient
ly. All these outward charms appeal
to the eye, but how much deeper and
more lasting is the impression when
there is beauty of character as well.
1t is not strange how persons who
seem plain and unattractive to the cas-
ual eye, seen often, become absolutely
beautiful to us in their revelation OF
character? And how some whom we
consider beautiful at first, when better
