Christ Rose
Blooned on

BERLIN, March 13.-From member

fighting on the western front comes
the story of Christ Rose" that bios
somed on Christmas day, to illus
trate the sentimental side of the sold
Ter and to show that it is far from be-
fng obliterated by war.
The guard regiment lay, virtually in
active, in trench for weeks. A few
yards in front, in a hole torn in the
earth by French shell, a rose began
to grow. At the risk of their lives
the soldiers cared for the plant jeal-
ously, but could not induce it to bloom
On Christmas day, however, the long
looked-for flower appeared, and was
duly plucked and sent to the en-
peror. The latter, overjoyed at the
incident, had Richard Voss, the poet,
epitomize the incident in poetry, and
sent copy of the verse to each mem

SUMTER FARMERS
PLANNING To BUILD
STORAGE HOUSES
MORE MEAT WILL BE RAISED
HERE ANOTHER YEAR.

Americas has been made the market
this season for larger quantity of
home-raised hams and bacon than has
been produced here since ante-bellum
days-that period when every Sumter
county farmer raised his own planta-
ton supplies-and more. Excellent
prices are paid here for Sumter cured
meats and now that our people are so
greatly interested in Georgia Pro-
ducts" the supply of meat, as we'll as
of wheat and corn, will be even greater
another season.
What Americas needs, as does other
localities, is packing house where
the farmers of this entire section of
south Georgia can market ti cir hogs,
and wherein meat can be saved at all
seasons Of the year.
AS result of the agitation among
the farmers of Lowndes county along
the line Of curing their meat properly
it has been announced that a number
of the largest farmers of that county
are planning to put in their own cold
storage and curing plants. These are
to be erected under plans and blue
prints furnished by the government
and will be built under government
supervision.
Estimates of the expense attached to
the erection of such a plant place the
cost at $S5 each.
Under these plans there will be err
ected a plant with capacity of 5000
pounds of meat. The meat is first
stored in the cold storage plant and
then placed in the smoking plant and
later stored in the cold storage plant
for further curing.

AUSTRIA LAUGHS
At HARD LUCK
STORIES
(By Associated Press.)

VIENNA, MARCH 13.-In the official
reports issued by the city of Vienna as
to conditions here during wartime it is
pointed out today that Germany and
Austria-Hungary through the war have
suffered economically no more than
the Allies and the neutral powers. AS
proof thereof the fact is given that
savings bank deposits in 1914 decreas-
ed only 27,000,0OO crowns and that the
money market continues extraordin-
arily easy. The supply of foodstuffs
during January in general was suffici-
ent although various articles of neces-
sity showed an increase in price. Only
the -four situation has not improved
owing to the existing high prices for
wheat and -four in Vienna and other
communities. The city of Vienna there
fore has secured large quantity Of
corn for the needs of the Viennese
population and in order to have this
unpopular article of food meet more
easily with favorable reception by
the population receipts for the use of
corn -four are printed on the reverse
of the street car tickets and in such
other manner as seem appropriate.
There was no shortage of meat dur
ing January. The supply of meat was
even greater than usual, considering
the demands of the canning factories
working for the military. The most
articles of food for January
show relatively unimportant price in
creases as compared with January Of
last yer.

Conditions Changing.

But conditions are changing.
Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador
are recovering and are fairly pros
porous. Argentina and Uruguay are
fast approaching normal, Bolivia and
Peru have just started on the up
grade, Brazil and Chile alone of the
countries of Latin America (except
MeXico) have been unable to begin
their recovery.
Argentina has been suffering dur
n' the latter half of 1918 and the be-
ginning of 1914 from a severe finan-
cial depression, caused essentially by
imitation and speculation followed by
crop failure and sharp retrenchment.
In spite Of the gravity of the stu
