VROOMAN ISSUES ANOTHER
SOLEMN WARNING

Baltimore, May ia warning
that each section of the United States
must feed itself or go without food
was voiced here to-day by Carl S.
Nrooman, assistant secretary of ag-
riculture. He said that with cotton
at Z2 cents a pound, Southern plant
crs are ploughing land that has al
ready been planted with cotton and
putting in foodstuffs
We must awake" he said. "Thc
submarine is a much more potent
weapon than we imagined. The al
lies were losing the war when we en-
tered it and will lose it unless we ex-
pend every effort of men, money and
economy. 1t is now war of con
servation Of resources"

FOODSTUFFS RISE
AS COTTON FALLS

Pointing out the intimate relation
between the prices of foodsuffs and
of cotton recently, with cotton falling
and food products advancing, ID. 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:
"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
foodstuifs to their customers and dry
goods merchants are beginning to re-
port a severe elimination in the vol
umc 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 its effect. We are
confronted also with the serious
probability that continuation of the
rapid sinking of vessels by German
submarines will leave no ocean ton
mage available for carrying cotton
this fall, rs every available ship may
and probably Will be needed to carry
foodstuifs and munitions to the allies.
NO 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 foodstutfs remain at fam
inc prices and cotton decline serious
ly from present prices.
at is becoming more and more
evident that the production and con-
s"rvation of foodstutfs and their
transportation to England and France
are the problems upon whose solu-
ton the war will principally depend.
THE men, women and children of
this nation who are aiding in these
matters are rendering just the service
which is required of them in this
emergency.
'What shall we say of those who
will not heed the S. O. S. call of our
President?

MTSGUIDE6 THRIFT

New York, May 3, 1917.-"One Of
the greatest dangers that confront us
at this moment is misguided thrift"
declares statement issued today by
S. w. Straus, President of the Amer
lean Society of Thrift.
''In our efforts to be patriotically
economical, we find ourselves going
to extremes in the opposite direction,
which is just as great a menace as
wastefulness and extravaganza" said
he. "One of the worst calamities that
could befall our nation at any time
would be TO stop the wheels of indus
try, but more especially NOW.
"The point is to ditferentiate be-
tween destructive and constructive
thrift. In times of peace or war,
waste is reprehensible, but indiscrim-
mate tight-fistedness is worse, be-
cause in such conditions the providcnt
are made to suffer with the improvi-
dent.
Because the whole nation sudden
ly has become conscious of the ne
cessity of thrift, we as individuals
should take care not to deflect from
their normal courses the tides of the
nations money that turn the wheels
of industry. America as a nation is
not in any danger of running short
of money, but we are threatened with
food shortage because on us rests
the duty and responsibility of feeding
our allies.
Everyone can distinguish the diff
terence between prudent living and
Wastefulncss. If man buys a suit
of clothes, pair of shoes or a hat.
his money goes into legitimate circu-
latlon and furnishes uses for capital
and employment for labor.
1.-The American people have res
ponded in a grand way to the needs
OF the hour. We are going to con-
serve our resources and increase our
food supply in way that will aston
ish the world, but in doing this we
stand face to face with economic
hardships unless each individual is
governed by common sense, prudence
and foresight.
In brief, administer your cxpcn-
ditures in a clean, honest, legitimate
and patriotic manner. Eliminate
waste of food bearing in mind tina:
every mouthful you save may be the
sustenance Of some starving fellow
human abroad. We should not tear
down on one hand while we are try
ing to build up on the other. Those
in business should not hcsitatc-bc
courageous and keep on going. Amer
ica has everything to make herself
prosperous. The billions of dollars
which are being raised for war pur-
poses will eventually return into the
pockets Of our people. Even the
money which we loan to our allies is
being spent Immediately in America.
The national bond issue means that
for some years to come this country
will be paying back the obligations
incurred today. America is still in
the midst of the greatest era of ma.
tcrial prosperity the country ras ever
known.
'ln the matter of individual en-
pcndlturcS every man should be guild
ed by his own necessities and the
needs of his country. Let none of
us be Stacker i'm the business world.
This is no day for the coward or
weakling. BE brave and confident
Remember the most acute need of our
nation today is intelligent, productive,
constructive thrift"

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How TO looeen a tender corn
or cailus so II lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter; /;
wear shoes Il size smaller ii you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that few drops of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
tender aching corn. instantly re.
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and cll lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even Irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
II your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet. tell him to get small
bottle Of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.--adv.

Saving Proposition.

Inquiries In the leading ccnters OF
industry indicate that the operation of
the summertime act Is. among other
results. having the effect of increasing
the output in shipyar,ls and cugiupcr.
ing works, says the London Times. ON
the northeast coast some of the wards
have been able to arrange additional
spells Of daylight overtime, and IN
other establishments there has been
an increase in output owing to the fact
that there nre in the aggregate large
number of extra hours when the work
can be carried on without the aid of
artificial light and with Il lesseDcd
sense of fatigue
II statistics can be kept which will
enable comparisons to be instituted be.
tween the output Of the present sum.
mer and the corresponding period of
last year 1t Is believed that the com.
parison Will be all to the advantage of
the present year.
Additional evidence Of the benefit OF
the act from the Industrial standpoint
comes from the railways. 1t has been
stated In the official organ OF the M.
tional Union Of Railwaymen that the
alteration Of the clock has been fol.
lowed by nn Improvement In tho work.

should come into permanent operation.
as It would enable the work Of railway
goods yards to be conducted with
greater rapldlty md safety.
A point which seems TO appeal to the
men who are on an clght-hour shift is
that, whatever the turn Of duty TO
which they arc assigned, they either
begin or finish work In daylight. This
may seem to be a small and unimpor.
