HUNGER MOVES THE WORLD.
Inventors, Authors and Toilers in
Fields Actuated by Same Motive.

An inventor of an important
mechanism was asked one day how
he happened to think of the thing.
He said he was hungry.
The author of one of the most
charming novels ever written was
asked how he happened to write it..
Hs said he was hungry.
A man was toiling in the field,
gathering the sheaves into little
heaps, preparing it for the thrasher.
He was asked why he worked in the
broiling sun. He said he was hun
CRY.
None of the men was literally hun
sry at the time. All of them had
been fed properly for the time being.
None of them would have perished
had they not performed the tasks
they worked at, perhaps. But all of
them gave correct answers. Hunger
moves the world.
While many of the worlds greatest
inventions were not perfected with a
view to getting something to eat,
while many of the most notable writ
ings of the world have been by men
who were not thinking of food, nor
the lack of it, the fact remains that
the bread question is at the bottom

Distl'ustful of Banks.

Nearly $1,000 in gold that for 20
years he had carried back and forth
in a dinner bucket from his home in
Gallatin to his farm two miles away
was stolen Saturday from Lee Rog-
ers. Known as man of frugal
habits, Rogers long had been suspect
ed of having hidden treasure and
thieves had made efforts to locate
his hoard. Saturday he started out
for the farm, as was his custom, car
rying sack in the bottom of which
was the dinner bucket bank. While
he was watering the cattle some one
found the gold and took it.-Kansas

"It is reported that the English
wheat crop is exceedingly backward,
the Dutch crop is small, the French
crop is very much less than usual,
and what is most alarming, Argen-
tina will have little wheat or corn to
export. The Australian wheat crop
is reported 5O,0O0,O0O bushels less
than last years. The statement Is
made that the English government
has contracted for the entire surplus
of this years wheat crop of Canada.
Wheat in the winter-growing States
in our country has suffered much for
the want of moisture. Early vege-
tables in the Southern States have
been destroyed by recent freezes.
Coming nearer home, the prospects
for wheat and oat crops in South
Carolina are the most discouraging
in years. The season is very back
ward and, therefore, little gardening
has been done in this State.
The country is virtually in a
state of war and We have every rea-
son to expect that in short time
thousands of young men may be call
ed from the fields to arms. There
fore, it is necessary to impress upon
all classes of our people the urgent
need of growing all vegetables for
table use and for canning purposes.

lots in food crops. Chambers OF
commerce, women's clubs and every
agency should be appealed to to as
sist in this most important work.
The production Of forage crops on
large areas, particularly the velvet
bean, sorghum, Soudan grass,
cowpeas and soy beans, is urgent.
The acreage in corn should be
greatly increased.
"The greatest care should be taken
with spring pigs. Hogs are now
selling in the Northern markets at

every prospect of increasing. The
acreage of sweet potatoes should be
increased many fold. Every farmer
should plant a crop of fall Irish pota-

Berlin, via London, June 4.-The
artillery battle in Wytschaete sali-
ent on the Belgian front increased
yesterday to most extreme violence
and continued into the night says
today's army report.
(By Associated Press.)
There seems ample evidence that
the Germans are ready to sacrifice any
number of men to hold the situation
on the western front in hand. Along
the French front they are making
almost ceaseless counter attacks both
In the Aisne region and the Cham
payne. Despite sanguinary repulses
on the vauclerc and California pla-
teaus they made a new thrust last
night along the Chemin- -des-Dames
plateau.
The Paris report shows the crown
princes troops took some advance
French positions. The British have
not been so frequently counter-at-
tackled. but whenever recently they
have attained an advance they have
evidently found immense masses of
Germans opposing.
The British ofIicial statement Of to-
day does not mention any further

attacks.

erable forces which held the British

Germans near Cherisy went on the
