POOR ROADS
A NATIONAL
EXTRAVAGANCE

President Wilson, in his appeal to
the country to unite for the common
good in time Of war, says: "This is the
time for America to correct her un-
pardonable fault of wastefulness and
extravaganza. Let every man and
every woman assume the duty of care
full, provident use and expenditure as
public duty, as dictate Of patriotism
which no one now can expect ever to
be excused or forgiven for ignoring"
1t is but reasonable to believe that
general response to this appeal will be
made throughout the country both by
individuals and political units. No
greater opportunity is offered the ma
tion as whole to economic than in
the betterment of the present lament
able road situation. Americas roads
are known to be one of our greatest
sources Of waste. The annual cost of
bad roads runs into the hundreds Of
millions of dollars.
In a recent bulletin of one OF the
most prominent financial and trade
publications of the country mention is
made of the difficulties of rural activi-
ties at this season of the year due to
bad roads, and the trouble is described
as seasonal" one. A true indict-
ment. The farmer is hampered In his
present great work of trying to pro-
duce large and badly needed crop
hampered by the unimproved roads
which limit his movements-and the
bill is handed to all of us under the
heading of the "high cost of living"
The time to improve Americas roads
is here. Money can be invested to no
better purpose. Permanent, systematic,
efficient highways will return a rich
profit to the entire country. The start
has been made-it is incorporated in
the idea of the Lincoln Highway, the
Dixie Highway, and all of the other
through, connected routes of travel laid
out under a carefully predetermined
plan of serving the greatest possible
interests OF the whole people.
Answer the presidents call by giving
your active support to the cause of road
Improvement. Help the Lincoln
Highway Association and other kindred
organizations in their endeavors. They
are nodded in the right direction. II is
the advance step in the solution Of this
problem of waste. Here is another op.
portunity to "do your Bit"

MAKE COTTAGE CHEESE
How to Use Skim Milk in the
Production of a Nutritious
FOOd-GOOd Substitute
for Meat.

Cottage cheese furnishes a con-
venient and economical means of using
skim milk as human food. 1t can be
easily made on small scale and re-
quires no special equipment. The
cheese is nutritious and is an excellent
substitute for meat. Each pound of
cottage cheese furnishes as much pro-
tein or bodybuilding material as the
same weight of beef. II is, however,
not quite so rich in its energy supply
as meat.
Because of its ease Of making it is
desirable to make the cheese often, so
that it may be eaten fresh, although If
it is kept cool it will not spoil for sever
al days. The following directions have
been prepared by the Dairy Division,
United States Department of Agri-
culture

CORN IN PLACE OF WHEAT,

To eat more corn and less wheat is a
simple way, which everyone can adopt
to help in feeding the allies across the
seas. Corn is a distinctly American
product. We raise approximately two
thirds of all that is grown in the world;
we are accustomed TO it, and we know
how to prepare it for the table. In
Europe, with the exception of Italy,
Austria-Hungary, and Rumania, it is al
most unknown, and many people do
not know how to cook corn meal and
similar products. We can use our corn
to much better advantage here than
they can abroad; and the more corn we
do use the more wheat, rye, and barley
will be available for export.
Corn meal costs less than the other
popular cereals, and its nutritive value
compares favorably with that of wheat.
II is somewhat deficient in protein or
tissue-building material, but this charac-
teristic is not so marked in the case of
the old-fashioned unbolted meal. Those
who prefer this can obtain it readily by
grinding the corn themselves at home
in a hand gristmill.
The Secretary of Agriculture has ap-
pealed for an expansion of the corn
acreage on the ground that corn is the
leading feed and food crop of the United
States, and that il can be grown sue
cessfully over greater area than any
other. Undoubtedly farmers will act on
this advice. II the consumers do their
part as well, there will be that much
more wheat available for export.
Detailed suggestions for the use of
corn in making bread and in other ways
can be had from the United States De-
partment of Agriculture upon request

AN APPRECIATION

June r. 1917.
To the Ladies OF the Red Cross
East Jordan, Michigan.
Tokens of esteem from your own
home always produce greater apprecia-
ton than those coming from other
sources. The good ladies of Port
Huron have gladdened the hearts of
the boys of Co. T", not only by their
cakes, pies, and cookies, but by many
acts Of kindness shown to each and
every one. But when the box of goodies
from the Ladies of the East Jordan Red
Cross, was opened, "Peace reigned on
earth, the waves of Old Huron were
for moment stilled, and nothing was
heard in the mess tent but the clatter
OF teeth" But had you seen the ap-
probation and thoughts OF home written
deeply on their faces, you would have
been well paid for this act of kindness.
In behalf Of Co. 'T", wish to thank
the Red Cross Ladies for their thought
fulness, and | believe that this Red
Cross spirit will make better soldiers OF
the boys already in the service, and be
the means OF creating a larger army
which will eventually bring this cruel
war to an end.

Many MEN ENLISTINC IN NAVY

The Editor:
The Naval Recruiting Officer re-
ports that results are beginning to
show from the Presidents appeal for
the Navy to be recruited to war
strength.
Since Sunday, the 10Th, over 1870
men have applied for enlistment;
about 35 of these being Charleston
ians.. However, due to the urgency
of this call and the enthusiastic re-
sponsc with which it is being met by
the North and East, the Recruiting
Officer expressed himself as being a
little disappointed with the results to
date.
Lieutenant Cooper stated that,
while in no manner wishing to de-
tract from the imperative call of duty
which is urgent and every American
owes his country, he again appeals to
eligible boys and their parents to con-
slider the Navy as a gateway to un-
limited opportunities for personal adj
vancement.
The life of Man-O- -Warsman
should appeal to the boys of spirit.
Its healthfulness, wholcsomness, eff
ficicncy and future should appeal to
their parents. 1t furnishes adventure,
ever changing scenes, new countries,
new people, a chance to serve the
country in an honorable profession.
The Navy also offers stady employ
ment, good practical training, promo
ton, provision for old age, healthful
life and opportunity for travel and
education. All pay received is clear
of all living expenses. The food is
excellent; No military service in the
world spends the money or care on
food that is given by the U. S. Navy.
The Navy maintains numerous
schools for the instruction of it's re-
cruts. There are four large train
ing stations: at Newport, R. L., Nor
folk, Va, Great Lakes, Ill.,, North
Chicago) and San Francisco, Cal.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1917-04-04

Every recruit who enlists as appren-
ticc seaman is Immediately transfer
red to one of these training stations
for instruction before he is assigned
to seagoing vessel.
The Navy maintains trade schools
as follows: The Electrical School for
the instruction of electricians, both
general and radio; the Artifcier
School, for Shipwrights, Shipfitters
Carpenters, Blacksmiths, Painetrs,
ETC., the Yeoman School, for stenog-
raphers, typewriters and book-keep-
crs; the commissary School, for cooks
Bakers and Commssary Stewards
The Hospital Corps Training Schools
for the instruction of men in nursing
first aid, drugs, ETC.; the coppersmith
School; the Machinist School; The
Acronautic School; the Musical
School; The School for Dining; the
Torpedo School, and .ne class for in
struction in gasoline engines.

New Pneumatic Tire
introduced by the
Swinehart Company

The Swinehart Tire and Rubber
company of Akron, O., have intro
duced this year to the motoring trade
an entirely new and distinctive pneu-
matte tire, known as Hexagon and
ribbed treads. Much comment has
been received from throughout the
country upon the appearance and
service which this tire is giving.
The factory is running twenty-four
hours each cay and is not able at the
present time to meet the demands.
The SwiLehart people are we'll
pleased with the reception their tires
have received from the Omaha trade.
The new tires are designed by ex-
perts of the highest standing. The
construction of Swinehart tires is
based upon scientific principles,
backed by years of experience. They
are evenly balanced tires and give
equal wear on all parts. In addition
t. being constructed of best materials.
they are so made that each ply of
fabric and each layer of rubber re-
ceives its proportionate strain in serv-
ice. Swinehart tires are built to give
maximum resiliency and wear. An
added feature is white stripe running
around side walls and treads which
adds to its beauty and is distinctive.

A photograph of the dead man was
