It is of utmost Importance that
the farmers of America place the
largest acreage possible under cul-
tivation in food crops, and give il
the very best tillage. This is an
act of patriotism of humanity, and
of self-interest.
The American farmer can meet
the requirements of the world by
increasinghis farm efficiency-and
the first to do this will profit most.
He should make his lands yield to
the uttermost; he should utilize all
by-products and eliminate all
waste; he should turn all the green
stuff available into live stock.
Preparedness is no longer a de-
batable theory; it is an immediate,
urgent necessity. Not merely the
manufacture of munitions and the
training of soldiers, but the G row.
ing and storing of sufficient food
to enable our nation to meet the
crisis of war and to come out of it
with honor and with the least
possible loss.
The farmer is the man of the
hour. Under the pressure of nee
essity and on the promise of rich
rewards, it is certain that he will
rise to the occasion and put forth
all his energy and all his intelli-
gence.

When you have read through
this issue of the paper just take
time enough to let one fact sink
into your active braie. The paper
used in this issue row costs us
approximately double what it cost
us two years ago. The ink we
use is away up in price. The oil
that keeps the press revolving is
up in price. The power that moves
the machinery is sky high. In fact,
every item of expense is up in the
clouds and many are above them,
and every dollar of expense means
that amount of money right out of
our own pocket. There are still
some of our subscribers that are
in arrears on subscription, and we
need that money. 1t is simply
thoughtlessness on your part, we
know, but nevertheless it means
a lot to us. Please think it over.

Jap Hotels Have Quaint Customs.

AT dusk we cast anchor in the
roadstead of Kobe, where the Tenvo
Maru has to remain" writes Sven
Hedin, in his book From Pole to Pole.
"A launch takes us to the busy town,
and we determine to spend the night
on shore in a genuine japanese hotel.
At the entrance we are met by the
landlord, in a garment like petit
coat and a thin mantle with short
hanging sleeves. Two small waiting
maids take off our shoes and put a
pair of slippers on our feet.
I'VE go up a narrow wooden stair
case and along a. passage with a
brightly polished wooden floor. Out
side a sliding door we take off our
slippers and enter in stocking feet.
Cleanliness is the first rule in a Jap
anese house and it would be thought
inexcusable to enter room in shoes
which had lately been in the dust and
dirt of the lanes and streets. Our
rooms are divided from one another
by partitions of paper or the thinnest
veneer, which can be partially drawn
aside, so that the rooms may be
thrown into one.
All the service and attention is
performed by women. They are
dressed in their becoming and taste
full national costume, the kimOnO, a
closefitting colored garment, cut out
round the neck, broad sash of cloth
round the waist, and large rOsette
like a cushion at the back. Their
hair is jet black, smooth and shiny,
and is arranged in tresses that look
as if they were carved in ebony. jap
anese women are always clean, neat
and dainty, and it is vain to look for
a speck of dust on silken cuff. If
they did not giggle sometimes you
might think they were dolls of wax
or china. They do their work con-
scientiously and are always cheerful,
contented and friendly.
1--WE sit down on our cushions for
breakfast. The serving girls bring in
a small red-lacquered table, not larg-
er or higher than a footstool. Every
guest has his own table and on each
are five cups, bowls and small dishes
of porcelain and lacquer, all of them
with lids * = These contain raw fish
and boiled fish and various forms,
omelettes and macaroni, crab soup
with asparagus in it, and many other
strange viands. When we had par
taken of the first five dishes, another
table is brought in with fresh dishes;
and if it is great banquet as many
as four or five tables may be placed
before one before the dinner is over.
We eat with two chopsticks of wood
or ivory, not larger than a penholder.
= - When a bowl of steaming rice,
cooked dry, is brought in, it is sign
that the meal is ended.

Organizing New Branches.

The Bamberg Red Cross chapter is
actively engaged in organ 7:lg new
branches. Besides those already Or
ganized at Denmark, Ehrhardt and
Kearse, Olar joined last Wednesday
evening, with a membership of about
thirty. All of this is very encourag-
ing to Red Cross workers.
This makes the total membership
of Red Cross workers in Bamberg
county number about 800 or over.
Around 5000 has been collected
from the Red Cross chapter and other
societies and this, money has been
sent to headquarters for wool and
supplies for workers.
1t is hoped that the wool will reach
Bamberg during the week in order
that the workers and those interested
can begin as soon as possible on the
articles necessary for the soldier boys.
Headquarters for the wool will be at
Mr.. w. D. Rhoad's store.
Our chairman of supplies has ask
ed that the ladies who have pillow
slips, hospital shirts, comfort bags,
etc., on hand, finish and turn them
in to the chapter as soon as possible
this week so they can be made ready
for shipment.
1t is interesting for Red Cross
workers to know that increasing at
the rate of $4,000 to 100, 900 day
membership of the Red Cross has
just passed the 3,300,000 mark. This
is double the number of members on
July 1st, when the total was 1,S00,-
S02. The present membership of s.
54S,2S9 is scattered among 2,400
chapters of American Red Cross,
which now are organized in all the
principal cities and towns of the
country-Contributed.

As the Boy Understood.

A certain English foreman in one
of the Kensington textile factories is
in the habit of having an apprentice
heat his luncheon for him. The
other day he called new appren'
tice.
"Go downstairs and eat up my
lunch for me-" ordered the foreman.
The boy, a typical young American
with no knowledge of cockney Eng,

hungry.
Ten minutes later the foreman
came down. He was also hungry.
"Where's my lunch?" he demand
ed.
The boy gazed at him in amaze,
ment.
You told me to eat it up, and
eat it,"
"I didn't tell you to heat it up,
roared the irate foreman. Il told
you to eat it up"
"Well, I didn't heat it up" main

it cold" d."-EXchange.

WAR TO LAST YEAR MORE.
Says Teutons Will Hold
Out That Long.

An Atlantic Port, Sept. IA party
of prominent Britishers arrived here
today on passenger steamship to
join Lord Northcliffe, British commits
sioner in the United States, and assist
him in purchasing war supplies. They
will 20 to Washington for con-
ference with government officials.
In discussing the war member OF
the party said he does not believe
the conflict will end until about this
time next year. The Germans will
never be overcome by hunger alone,
he declared. Neither will they be
overcome by assaults on the front
while they are convinced of the weak
ness of their opponents. 1t must be
a combination of hunger and con-
tinual assaults that will win.
"They are going to be hungry still
more and then is the time for the
Allies to deliver the blows against
the line that will settle the question
for all time.
The embargo of the United States
against them is one of the strongest
weapons yet put into our hands and
if this had gone into effect a year
ago the war would have been over by
now. We have got to keep them hun
gry and make them still hungrier
and keep on delivering the blows
against them while they are in this
condition.
