Happiness In His Presence,

He is so infinitely blessed, that
every perception of his blissful pres.
ence imparts vital gladness to the
heart. Every degree of approach to
him is, in the same proportion, a de-
gree of happiness. And I often think
that were he always present to our
mind, as we are present to him, there
would be no pain, nor sense of mis-
ery.-Susanna Wesley.

Diversity of Farm Enterprises.

A careful study OF the profits In
farming indicates the fact that the
mos, successful farms are those that
have three or four major resources Of
income. that is. they have a well bal
anced and diversified business. In
some instances IL may pay better to
have only one enterprise, or In other
words, to specialize. but usually
when one crop yields lucrative re-
turns. the production Of 1t increases
so rapidly that the price soon falls TO
the point where other crops are also
profitable, or perhaps more
SO. Diversified farming is often con-
fused with farming where there 10 .
little OF everything and not much Of
anything. Either e1tereme lessons
the chances OF success. When the
price OF certain crops runs low then
live stock usually becomes desirable.
But II the returns per animal are
poor, then. cash crops even at low
price are essential. A well balanced
business insures against losses and
provides a much better utilization OF
the labor and equipment

Take Away the Rooster.

There Is no reason for keeping the
male birds with the laying hens after
the breeding season Is over. Careful
experiments have proven that the
hens actually lay more eggs when the
male birds are not running with
them, thus disapproving that roosters
are necessary for egg production.
There is continuous market for
infertile eggs. They stand shipping

Ways demand top prices.

Eggs are the most perishable OF
foods. A fertile egg kept In a warm
room will become unfit for food as

will keep for two weeks under the

NOW INTERESTS
PLANTERS HERE
WHEAT AND OATS WILL BE SOWA
NOW

Sumter farmers will get busy nov
with the fall grain crops since the
ground is wet sufficiently for the first
time in three months. 1t is now that
wheat and oats for next years cror
will be sown, and it goes without the
saying that bumper crops of each va
riety will be planted here now. Food
crops more than cotton will be essen
tion next year, and while Sumter
county produced large crops of wheat
and oats this year the farmers will
plant even greater grain areas next
year. This year Sumter produced an
oat crop of probably 100000 to 400, 90"
bushels, with an ample crop of wheat
for the first time.

DRIVE ON GERMAN
LINES IS KEPT
by THE FRENCH

PARIS, Sept. 30.-The war Office an
nounces the capture of an important
German defensive work south of RI
pont.
In the Champagne region the
French troops have gained a footing
at various points on the second line
of the German defensive.
The struggle on the western front
becomes more clearly a battle for
Lens, nine miles northeast of Arras
The capture of this town would bring
into the foreground the possibility OF
retaking Lille.
North of Lens, the Allies hold hills
NO. 70 and 140, which dominate the
town, according to Paris officia,
statement, saying merely that this
crest has been reached. Presumably
there is a terrific counter attack rag
ing there today.
Today's official statement relates
further French andvances in the
Champafine country. Some detach-
ments are fighting their way beyond
the German lines, but are forced to re-
turn to positions captured on the Ger
man second lines of defense, because
of the heavy artillery fire. Rain fog
and mud are hampering the work of
the armies.
The offensive of the Allies has been
confined to stretches of less than
thirty miles. The general belief here
is that these movements are merely
preludes to what is coming.
There is the usual speculation re-
garding the shifting of German forces
from the east to the west. Reliable
information is lacking though.
Against the reports that some OF
Russian Guards have been sent west.
there is rumor that Field Marshal
Won Hindenberg has been heavily re-
inforced. The Austrians have appar-
emily received fresh troops also.
The British victory over the Turks
in Mesopotamia brings General John
Nixon's men within $50 miles of Bag
dad. The news came unheralded here
as the fighting in. that region had al.
most been forgotten.
Whether the British will try to reach
Bagdad is problematical. The con-
census of opipion is that the Turkish
resistance has been crushed there.
