course admit there are other con-
ditions that have much to do with
prices. When a board of trade
booms any particular product you
may safely calculate there is a short

article.
In order to create a better demand
and obtain higher prices it seems to
be in the mind of the originator OF

goods. This suggests that the potato
is not put on the market in proper

the farmer is careless or dishonest
in sacking his potatoes. So it 10

Now if a man is dishonest in sacking

this plan mean large storage room

This expense, with the addition Of
boxes, means higher priced potatoes

April 17.-Eliptherios Venizelos. the
former premier, In a third article pub
lished in this mornings Herald, takes
up more directly the actual position OF
the sovereign in democratic Greece.
He says the existing government and
present difficulties of the country are
due to efforts of royalsts working
with self-interested politicians to null
| lily the results of the revolution of
| 1903 and to deprive the people Of eff
fective self-government at whatever
price to Greece. He adds:
To Strengthen the Throne.
The reason for the present attitude
of Greece toward the warning groups
lies in the belief of the monarchists
that victory by Germany will forward
| their cause, while a victory of the en-
| tente powers would force Greece back
again into the way of constitutional
ism, wherein lies the only salvation OF
popular government in Greece"
An attempt to break up a meeting
held today by adherents of former
| Premier Venizelos ended in riotous
| demonstrations. Speakers were greet
! ed with cries of Down with the trail
tors!" and Long live the king" Eff
forts were made to eject the disturb
! ers. The police cleared the hall amid

BONUS TO CREAM ROUTE
Chamber of Commerce Will Give 500
to First Route Established.

In order to get a cream route euar-
anteed by August 1st the Chamber OF
commerce has decided to pay $40 to-
wards defraying the expenses of the
cream collector on the first route es-
'abiished in this county. About forty
i've cows, as a minimum, will be ac-
cepted for the first route although ar
least sixty-fve ought to be in eacn
route r'
owing to the lack of interest on the
part of Sumter county farmers in tba
cream route business. and the sc.rc;ty
OF pasture grasses due to dry weather
the Chamber of Commerce decided
after consulting with the farmers who
wish to go into the cream routes to
postpone putting on the routes until
forage crops and pastures could be
guaranteed.
This was deemed advisable by Farm
Demonstrator J. Frank Williams and
Dairy Expert Fitzpatrick, of Clemson
College after several visits over this
county. r.
Mr.. Williams, Mr.. Fitzpatrick, and
tne commercial Organization, however,
think that by August 1st conditions
should be auspicious all around for
cream routes.
The first route reporting for busi-
ness will get ten dollars a month for
TWO months as part of the salary of
the cream or butter fat collector TO
encourage the farmers.
