FOOD DEAR, COTTON CHEAP
The Scarcity and High Price of All
Foodstuffs Naturally Destroys DC.
mand for Other Commodities.

Pointing out the intimate relation
between the prices Of foodstuffs and
Of cotton recently. with cotton falling
and food products advancing, d. r.
Coker. chairman of the South Caro-
lima commission for civic prepared
ness, has issued another appeal to
the farmers Of South Carolina to
plant more food crops.
Says the appeal:
1.-The South Carolina commission
FOR civic preparedness wishes to call
the attention Of the farmers TO the
fact that foodstuffs have recently
continued their steady and rapid ad-
vance. and that cotton has recently
declined.
MANY supply merchants are fur
nishing practically nothing except
foodstuffs to their customers and dry
goods merchants are beginning to re-
port a severe diminution in the vol
ume Of their trade.
Large government war orders are
temporarily supporting the cotton
and cotton goods market. but the re-
duction Of the dry goods trade must
eventually have it's effect. We are
confronted also with the serious
probability that a continuation of the
rapid sinking of vessels by German
submarines will leave no ocean ten
mage available for carrying cotton
this fall. as every available ship may
and probably will be needed to carry
foodstuffs and munitions to the allies.
mo one can accurately predict the
future but we suggest that the all
cotton farmer consider the situation
In which he will find himself this
fall should foodstufrs remain at fam
Inc prices and cotton decline serious
iy from present prices.
1T Is becoming more and more
evident that the production and con-
servation of foodstuffs and their
transportation to England and
France are the problems upon whose
solution the war will principally de-
pend
THE men. women and children OF
this nation who are aiding in these
matters are rendering just the ser.
vice which is required of them in
this emergency.
What shall we say of those who
will not heed the s. o. s. call OF oul
president?

observe MEMORIAL DAY.
FITTING EXERCISES HELD AT
SOLDIERS PLOT OF SUMTER
CEMETERY.
Address Delivered by DIR. C. G. Brown
Deals With Causes Which Brought
on War-Picked Squad from High
School FIRES Salute and Taps is
Sounded.

The annual Memorial Day exercises
were held at the soldiers plot in the
Sumter cemetery yesterday afternoon
at o'clock. The battalion from the
Boys High school formed at the gate
of the cemetery and marched to the
graves.
After flowers had been placed upon
the graves Of the soldiers, Rev. j. p.
Marion opened the exercises with
prayer. After the invocation, Sena-
tor r. ID. Epps, the presiding officer,
In few well chosen remarks called
attention to the observance Of the day
and the significance of the homage
paid to those who had passed away in
the cause of the Confederacy. He
then introduced the chief speaker of
the afternoon. Rev. G. G. Brown.
DIR. Brown began his address by
telling how glad he was to be among
his friends and what a privilege it
was to speak on an occasion like this
one. The speaker then launched into
a discussion of the cause Of the war
between the States. He told his hear
ers that the old saying "the negro in
the wood pile" was the real underly-
ing resson for the rupture. DIR. Brown
discussed the slavery question at
length. Among other reasons for the
Civil War the speaker called atten-
tion to the fact that where people Of
a country are of different temper and
ideals an outbreak was the ultimate
result.
After the address q picked squad of
high school cadets fired salute over
the graves of the soldiers and taps
was then sounded.

BE PRETTY TURN
 GRAY HAIR DARK
Look young! Nobody can tell if you use Grandmother's simple recipe of Sage
 Tea and Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compound ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, sJreaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and trouble some. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get a large bottle of this famous old recipe, improved by the addition of other in gradients, for about 50 cents.
 Don't stay gray! Try it, No one can possibly tell that you darken your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time; by morning the gray hair dis appears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire dark hair and a youthful appearance. It is not intend ed for the cure, mitigation or proven ton of disease. (AdveTtisement)

WAR SUMMARY.

The invasion of Rumania by the
 troops of the central powers con tinues to progress, despite the efforts of the Russians and the Rumanians to hold them back. Berlin reports that ' the invaders moving eastward into ] Moldavia from the Transylvanian Alps region are gaining ground step by step, while the force of Field Marshal van Mackensen, driving northward in Moldavia, has won additional ground, reaching the Putna river sector. In this fighting the TeutOnic allies, ac- cording to Berlin. have taken 9,544 prisoners and captured three guns and ten machine guns. Petrograd admits that the Russians along the line of the Putna and Sereth rivers have fallen back but says the maneuver was car ried out without hindrance. A slight retreat on the Kassina river by the Russians also is recorded by Petrograd but it is asserted that south of the Oituz river and near Rekosa, on the Suchitza river. attacks by the troops of the central powers were repulsed. There is still vicious fighting going on in northern Russia in the region of Riga. Berlin says the reports of Russian attacks on both sides of the River A and between Freidrichstadt and the Mitau-Olai road.
 The Russians, however. have re- captured an island in the Dvina river north of Illoulsk, which was taken from them recently. Petrograd re- Jorts also the repulse of German at tacks south of Lake Babit, west of Riga.
 In the other theatres, according to the various official communications, bombardments and minor engage ments by patrol parties continue to prevail Greece has been given 48 hours by the entente in which to com ply with their demands for the with drawal of all Greek troops in Thessaly, reduction in the number of Greek forces elsewhere. the release of poli- tical prisoners and an apology by Greece to the allied nations and their flags.

Thursday, beginning a three days en- gagement, must be inevitably associat ed in the public mind with that other Clune film triumph, "RamOna." Not only was it made by the same pro ducers but the same methods followed in the construction of Helen Hunt Jackson's wonderful story.
 Like the other story i"The Eyes of the World" is a romance of Southern California. and the producers have put into their second great achieve ment the same labor of love that was mingled with the necessary conner cialism in the making of the former subject for the screen
 Having set such a high standard with Ramona. the Clune company know that it could not afford to invite disparaging comparison by turning out an inferior successor, so it spent money freely and the undivided ener- gies, for six months, of its great studio force in Los Angeles and on the scenes of the book in the valleys anj mountains of San Bernardino and Riv- erside counties to insure an output worthy of its subject The same pho tographers who made Ramona" a work Of such rare beauty were en- trusted with the mission.
 Three 1f the prominent members Of the Ramona" east are in "The Eyes of the World. These are Monroe Sal isbury, who played Alessandro, the Indian lover. Lurline, who enacted Sonora Moreno, the Spanish matron, and Arthur Tagares, who was Senor Ortega These artists were chosen for The Eyes of the World" cast not merely because their characterizations in Ramona were so remarkable but because they really fitted parts in Mir. Wrights story.
 Clune was the first of the big pro ducers to discourage the idea of the stock company, which led to so many causes of mis-casting. For each pro Iuction he picks his actors from the widest field. How much better this is than the old way, was seen in the wonderful selection Of types and the fine quality Of acting in "Ramona."
