WOMEN HAVE NEVER FAILED
AL History Shows Their Qulckness
to Respond When Duty Has
Called Them.

III Great Britain really needs any
form Of military service from her
women, She he's but to speak the
word ana millions of volunteers will
respond. Lord Kitchener could begin
organizing corps Of amazons tomor-
row If he chose to ask volunteers for
such service. The women Of the Brit
1sh races, in the homo isles and on
this continent, have ever boon ready
to serve their country effectively in
ltime of war When Mr.. Lincoln was
mwillingiy drafting men into tho
army, women were volunteering for
all sorts OF service. At times then
and since tho number of such volun-
Htcers for hospital service has been
cr1barrassingly large. The women Of
tho Confedcracy made amazing sac
rlfices to aid tho ragged armies in
the Held. Some OF them took their
lives III their hands and acted as
spies. Thousands and hundreds OF
thousands scwcd and knitted and
spun, and not a fcw actually worked
III tho cornticlds and cottonfields. Tho
need for such work was not so grave
III inc North, but millions OF women
above Mason and DiXon's line wero
ready to volunteer for any service
that the government at Washington
might require OF them. In all this,
the women on both sides but initiated
their cat-grandmothcrs of the Reyo-
luton. No modern war has been
Fought without the aid Of women, and
such women were always volunteers.
Men sometimes have to be dragooned
TO serve their country, but thus far in
human history tho simple call to duty
has been sufficient for tho women of
any nation.-Voguc.

DO NOT NEGLECT TOOLS
Farmers Suffer Large Losses by Fall.
ure to Care for Implements That
Are Not in Use.

The farmer who puts away his farm
machinery without oiling and clean
ing it Is certain to lose in the dete-
rioration of the machinery many times
what the time to care for it would
have been worth. Failure to take care
of farm machinery is source of large
loss TO the American farmer annually.
Most farmers realize that they
would save money by taking good care
of their machines, but NEGLECT to do
so, either through carelessness or in.
difference. The most important step
toward having efficient machinery Is
Keeping 1T in good repair. In spare
time, each machine should be care
lully inspected and all missing, broken
or oVcrworn parts noted. Write the
names and numbers OF missing parts
on tags and fasten these tags to the
machine.
All machines should have general
inspection at least once a year A
rainy day in late fall is very good for
this purpose.
Exposure to weather Injuries both
wooden and metal parts OF machines
and machinery shed shout by all
means bo part of the farm equip
ment. Every machine should be clean
ed, oiled, and housed after it has been
used.
Painting aids greatly in improving
the appearance and prolongng the life
OF machines. It protects both wood
and metal from the weather. Paint
should be used freely when needed.
one or the best paints for all farm
implements is made with red lead and
linsecd OIL
The use Of good farm implements IS
increasing rapidly in South Carolina
and farmers owe it to themselves TO
be more careful OF their tools. In the
year mat has gone, they have learned
some important lessons in economy,
but there is probably no more practi-
cal way in which farmer can ccono.

OF his farm implements repairing
them, oiling them, housing them, and
painting them.

AGREEMENT REACHED
FOR ENLARGED ARMY
House Committee Completes Its Bill
for Increase of Regulars Force to
MeXimum of 100000 Fighting Nor

Meximum Of 100000 Fighting Men.

sion was reached by the house mill
tary committee late today upon it's
Dill Tor the increase Of the army and
II VIII be reported unanimously to the
house early next week. In round fig
ures the measure would authorize the
formation Of an army composed of

1t provides for a maximum strength
of 10000 lighting trops for the reg
ular army for q minimum Of 425. 900

rolled in the latter force.
The bill retains provision for or
ganization of industrial and technical
reserves, and authorizes creation OF a
board of officers to control an indus
trial mobilization in time OF war or
l'nminence OF war. 1t also provides
that manufacturers Of war materials
must give immediate preference to
government orders in war time, or
when there Is danger OF war, under
heavy penalty for failure to do SO.
While the minimum strength of the
regular army remained at 100000 a
change was made before the final vote
TO Tx the maximum Of lighting troops
at 10000 bringing the total authoriz-
cd strength of the regular force in
Guiding the hospital corps other non
,combatant troops to 10000.
Although all members of tho COM
mittcc vii sign the bill they do so
under the reservation that they may
support upon the floor of the house
any amendment they desire.
The senate military committee OK
poets to vote finally upon its army
Dill tomorrow, and it is possible the
first of the preparedness measures,
urged by President Wilson will be
placed before both houses of congress

The house committee inserted only
general provision for government
plant to make nitric acid, leaving de-
tails to be worked out later in an ap-
preparation measure.
