War Bread-Half-and-Hah.

The newest form of war bread was
shown at this office recently by j R
Vandiver, who brought samples and
showed how the bread could be pro-
duced at a cost less than half that OF
white wheat bread.
The secret is-cottonseed meal
mixed with -four. The meal was
bolted and mixed with an equal part
of wheat flour. This makes a very
edible and palatable form of bread.
Gingerbread made with this meal,
flour and molasses, with little gin.
ger. resembles the original very close.
ly and tastes good. The biscuits
brought to this office are dark brown
in color, not unlike graham bread,
and taste like ordinary bread.
Mr. Vandiver said that the flour
was made from fresh cottoonseed
meal and that flour of this kind can
be made for Sc per barrel, while
white flour costs around S14.-An-
derson Mail.

An Unsinkable Warship,

A young inventor Of Lancaster
Pa, has constructed model of what
he believes to be an unsuitable war
ship, able to defy submarines and
turn torIedoes from the strict path
of duty. His working model, pic.
ture of which appears in the June
Popular Mechanics Magazine. shows
a sort of semi.submerged fort. the
great bulk of the ships hull being
under water at all times. The de-
sign of the hull shows extraordinary
depth, and the inventors theory is
that this construction, with numer.
GUS air chambers, would keep the
ship afoat even if struck by one or
more torpedoes at or near the water
line. A belt of air chambers, ,resem.
bling a huge flange, surrounds the
hull near the normal water line. and
is designed to assist in maintaining
buoyancy after the lower hull has
been pierced and partly water-hlled
by torpedo attack or shell fire.

Don't Harvest Wheat Too EARLY.

Clemson College. May 49, Owing
to high prices of flour.it may be the
tendency of many farmers to har-
vest their wheat crop too early. In
some sections of the State the crop
is promising. but to harvest before
the berry has had time to mature
would mean a big loss to the farm
ers. Great care. should be exercised
in harvesting wheat to get the larg-
est yields and grain that will make
the best grade of flour.
Wheat should be harvested when
the grain is in the dough stage. At
this stage the berries can be indent-
ed with the finger nails, but they are
not milky. Harvesting at this stage
insures the largest yields. If har-
yesting is begun before the grain is
in the dough stage there will be q
considerable loss due to shrinkage,
and in the poor quality of flour
milled from such grain. If harvest.
ing is deferred until the grain is
dead ripe much grain will be lost by
shattering.
The feeding value of the straw is
decreased if it is cut after the grain
has passed through the dough stage.

eanization accomplished many dar-
ing deeds in our own beloved State
of South Carolina, when she was be-
ing trampled underfoot, as it were,
by such governors as Moses, Scott,
and others, who had no regard for
the principles of right or justice, in
regard to our citizens. In degrade
ton and shame was her proud name
trailed in the very dust by riots and
uprisings which occurred among the
negroes, while the flower and chivalry
of our grand old State were made to
weep bitter tears of anguish because
of the insults they. their wives and
daughters sustained at the hands of
these vagabonds. In this dark hour
We would look with pride on such no
BE men as Wade Hampton. w H Wal

At this time wade Hampton was the
most prominent figure in the politi.
cal affairs of our State, having been
the first Democratic governor since
the close of the war. He. with the
support of the best element of our
State, raised it from degradation and
gave to it something of its former
prestige.
We have right to feel proud of
our fair Southland and of these wor-

age and fortitude has not been ex-
celled by any of the worlds greatest
men of whom we have any record.
They have won the fghtin the know

sons to love and cherish.

War Has Caused Religious Revival.

w Redmond, NJ P, writing in a
London paper. says: with all the
evil that has followed in its train it
is good to find at least one beneficial
result from the war. 1t has led to
the revival of religion IN a most re-
markable way. To this. practically
everyone is agreed. 1t is apparent in
a hundred directions. Perhaps this
revival is most marked in France, and
there it is attributable in no small
degree to the splendid record of the
French priests in the army. The spec
tacle of thousands of priests march
ing and fighting for the country and
the flag has touched deeply the heart
of France, and many a man who was,
perhaps, ready enough to proclaim
himself an anti.cleric will never so
describe himself any more. The bra
very displayed by the French priests
in battle $1,000 have been killed.,
has been only equaled by their devo'
tion to their holy Office"

Want To Sell Us Galapagos Island

Want To Sell Us Galapagos Islands.
Reports keep coming to the Isthmus
of Panama of a growing inclination
on the part of the people of Ecuador
to offer the Galapagos Islands for
sale to the United States. The hand
some price paid for the Virgin Islands
is said to have made a great impres.
sion on Ecuadorians. The Galapagos
Islands have long been economically
worthless to Ecuador, but all sug.
pestions to sell them have been hail.
ed by opposing politicians as an in
trigue to deliver the territory of the
country into the hands of foreigners.
1t may be that the conduct of the
United States toward Latin Americs
under President Wilson has mitigated
the distrust of the United States and
inclined the Ecuadorians to consider
more leniently American possession
of the Islands.
The Galapagos lie about eight hun
dred miles southeast of the canal,
close to the road of steamers plying
between the canal and New Zealand,
Australia, and the rest of Oceania
and the lower East Indies. 1t is as.
serted that the site would be stra-
teeic point for naval operations, an
outpost in the defense of the canal,
and haven for ships ofpeace or war
in q vast stretch of lonely sea. The
population of the group is reported
as about four hundred persons.

"Nor l." echoed Dave.
"You don't need to understand.
know what I'm doing. I've thought of
way to save US all"
An incoherent refusal was upon his
Inns. but Alaire's face besought him it
was shining with strange, new ecs-
rasv. and he could not bring himself to
deny her. OF what her plan consisted
h. had only the dimmest idea, but he
assured himself that it could by no
possibility succeed. After all, what did
il matter? he asked himself They were
trapped This might serve somehow,
to cheat Longorio, and-Alaire would
be his wife.
Very WELL" he stammered, weakly.
"What are you thinking off,

At that moment Dolores returned,

Law nodded. He could not speak,
for his mouth was dry. His heart was
beating violently; his temples We're
pounding; all the blood of his body
seemed centered in his head
Before the eyes of the four wonder

them 1t seemed to Alaire that he
would never reach the end, although. in
fact he stumbled through the cere-
mony swiftly. Alalre clipped his last
words short by crying;

Father O'MalIey. who had been lost
in thought. spoke up again: Perhaps
you will let me try my wits. But first,
do understand that it was he who eff
fected the death of-Mr. Austin?"
Dave recounted as coherently as he
could The circumstances Of Eds death,
and told how he had learned. through
Jose of Longorio's intentions As the
priest listened a spot of color grew in
his cheeks, his eyes glowed with indlg-
nation. He was about to make known
what was in his mind when Alaire
raised her hand and in a strained
whisper exclaimed:
Sh-h Listen =!
The heavy door of the hacienda
creaked. a quick tread sounded on the
tiles, the door TO the living room was
flung open, and Longorio entered. He
was hot and dusty from his ride, but
with lovers impetuoSity he had made
straight Tor this lighted room.
For the briefest instant he balanced
himself just inside the portal and the
smile remained fixed upon his lips
| Then his eyes became ringed with
white and he made a swift catlike
movement of retreat. Plainly this was
the supremest surprise of his lifetime,
and he seemed to doubt his senses. But
lie recovered quickly. Thrusting his
head forward, he demanded:
What is this? You-and you?" He
stared from Dave to the priest, then
back again.
They all spoke at once, but he heard
only Alaire's words:
He came to find me-"
Pancho appeared in the doorway be-
hind LOngoriO, saying, Il heard you
ride up, sir, so l ran to tell you about
this fellow"
But The general cut him short Call
your men, quick" he cried in a voice
that sent the soldier leaping back into
the night
Alaire was clinging to Dave, merely
clutching him the tighter when he tried
to unclasp her hold. Her movement
into the shelter of his rivals arms in
furiated Longorio, who uttered an ex-
clamation and fumbled uncertainty
with his holster But his fingers were
clumsy, He could not take his eyes
from the pair, and he seemed upon the
point Of rushing forward to tear them
apart.
Don't touch her! Don't" he be-
