WOMEN HELP IN WAR WORK
Motor Service Organized by Mrs. ]
Borden Hartman Is Latest Of
Her Activities.

shington.-Women's activities IN
the war game are increasing every day.
A womuns motor service, organized
by Mrs. j. Borden Hartman, in which,
scores of Washington society women
have enrolled, is one of the latest. The
cars are filling real need and are
kept busy on work directly for the war
department.
These women drive their own cars,
to which an army ambulance, as a
trailer, is frequently attached as they
are sent to the training camp Of the
marine corps at Quantlco, Va, or the
engineering corps at Belvoir, Va, to
bring to Washington for hospital treat
ment sick or injured men.
The women are also getting inten.
sive training themselves under officers
of the war department.
They are getting the same drills
and the same maneuverS as regular
army units. The course of instruction
includes litter drills and training in
ambulance work.
The women's motor service in Wash
ington has been taken has a model for
similar organizations throughout the
country and the war department Is re-
ceiving daily applications for officers
to be detailed to train women in motor
ambulance work.

Young Soldiers Safeguarded.

Army and navy life has in the past
been regarded as very demoralizing, a
young mar being a worse citizen at
the close of his term of enlistment
than whan he entered the service.
While this probably was true in the
past, there is ground now for ques-
tioning such a statement. Secretary
Daniels has done much to purify the
atmosphere and improve conditions
surrounding the men in the navy,
and the demand by men in command
that cities in which infantry camps are
to be located be given a general clean
ing up, morally, indicates that u SOL
diers on land, as we'll as those On the
sea, are being properly safeguarded.
Everything possible is being done to
make the young soldier safe, NOR

raising the moral tone among our

Stands Out Alone.

In many respects. or considered from
many of its phases, this war is not q
repetition of history. The pages of his
tory record no such war in the past.
The idea of something like 10, 600, OOO,-
900 men being pitted against each other
along a battle front of more than 400
miles is something so stupendous as to
stagger the human mind. Not a sin
gle phase or feature of the war has q
parallel in history. The size of the
armies and the marvellous weapons
that are used on land, sea and in the
air are all out of the ordinary. Some
idea of the immense guns or modern
fighting machines that are used al be
gained from the announcement several
days ago that the cannonading in Elan
ders could not only be heard but shook
the ground in London, ninety miles
away. As time passes, the war now
entering upon its fourth year, the
fighting grows iercer and hercer.
Certainly in a number of ways this
war stands out in history without a
parallel. And may the historians OF
the future never record another one
like it.

Crop of 1917 Safe.

Specialists who have made a study
of the boil weevil under the direction
of the government have pronounced
the South Carolina cotton crop of 1917
practically out of DANCE from the boil
weevil. However, let L no. get caught
next year. Begin now arrange for
a large acreage of every crop except
cotton. In sections where the Weevil
has wrought incalculable harm many
farmers believed that the coming OF
the weevil to their particular locality
would be delayed just one more year
and planted practically all of their
farms in cotton, expecting to make
their last crop a big one. The result
was, in many cases, the weevil came
and totally destroyed the cotton, leav-
ing these foolish farmers nothing but
their land which had now deprecated
almost so per cent. in value. Be wise.
Profit by the disastrous experience OF
such unwise farmers. Let US be thank
full that one more crop has been made
without injury by the weevil, and not
hazard too much next year.

The Colored Fair of Edgefield
and Aiken Counties.

A Colored Fair will be held at
the Belts Academy during the
month of November, 1917. We
solicit the patronage of all the
colored people of E~dgefeld and
adjoining counties. We also ex-
tend an invitation to our white
friends, as many as feel disposed to
come.
The fair of 1915 was the most
successful one in the history of the
Belts Academy Fair. Our pros
poets for a successful Fair this year
are very bright. Some new officers
have been elected and a handsome
sum of money deposited in the bank
to the credit of The stockholders.
The Fair of 1915 was the first fair
in which the stockholders cleared a
dividend on their investment.
We have gone to work to make
the next Fair far surpass any pre-
viously held at the Belts Academy.
We have a merry-go-round, owned
and operated by the stockholders,
stationed on the Fair grounds. And
the officers have taken on fresh
courage, and new life and vigor
have been injected into the entire
organization.
The date on which the Fair will
open and other information, will be
published later.

Cheapest Fertilizer in the World

portland farmers are poor farm
ers, poor financially and poor in
methods. This is true the world
over, and will always be so. Con-
yersely, rich-land farmers average
high in yields and are well off fin.
ancially, and this, too, will always
be 20.
The biggest economic problem of
the average farmer is how to double
yields without correspondingly in
creasing production costs. When
he has done this, he is On the road
to prosperity.
Commercial fertilizers are of
great value when rightly used, but
the man who depends upon them
solely is headed for failure. They
furnish no hulnus, and humus is
vitality necessary to Jul soils; they
furnish nitrogen. but at a cost far
too high compared with that the
legumes-peas, beans and the GLOW.
ers-bring down from the air above
us.
Here, then, in the legumes, is the
key to the Southern farmers golden
opportunity. An acre of good Grim.
son clover or velvet beans will con,
tain seventy-fve pounds of nitro
gen taken from the air, and this is
equal to 500 pounds OF nitrate Of
soda, or 1850 pounds of %cottonseed
meal. In addition, the humus ad.
ded to the soil when these crops are
plowed under gives US the best
drouth insurance known. And,
furthermore, peas and beans may be
grown with our corn crops without
injury to the corn, and clover grows
in the winter and early spring and
is ready to plow under by April to
fertilize the crop following.

crops and prosperity. Are you

for a number of years are not sur
prised that he has taken hold with a
vigorous hand since his company has
been called into service. He is out
to care for the morals of his men
above everything else. He will do
his best to impress upon them the
great Importance of living pure lives,
and being high toned, honorable gen.
tlemen. Here is what he says:
eff YOU have not written home during
the week be sure and write on Sum-
dav. Do not be ashamed to read the
Bible. If anyone makes fun of you
il will only show that he has more
tongue than brain. Refrain from
personal difficulties with your fel.
lows. Be q man." These are a few
of the rules that he has on a printed
card IN which especial attention is
called. The one habit he advises his
men to cut out is liquor, Jamaica gin
ger, and tn be moderate in the use of
tobacco. He advises them to drink
very little at soda fountains. "You
do rot need dope in the army. AS
Kipling put it you will do your work
OF water" Do not use bad language
that you would be ashamed to use at
home. Gambling is the very worst
way to use money. If you have toe
much money send it back home to
one of the banks, and watch 1t
grow"
Then there is advise on cleanliness
of person, especially in the matter OF
taking care of the feet. He advises
neatness in dress. His men are told
to wear their uniforms as though
they were proud of them. They are
exhorted to be courteous. We advise
parents and friends of the young
men in Captain Tillman's Company
to get one of his cards headed: cat.
tention Young Menu and read it.
But we a not say more. We are
sure that the relatives and friends OF
the young.men who are in Captain
Tillman's Company are rejoicing that
they are under a mar of such high
ideals, who is out to do all that he
can for the welfare of his men. Il
every army officer followed the ex.
ample of Captain Tillman it would
be a blessing to have our young mer
under him. This training would wipe
out a great deal of the dread and the
horrors of war.
We can not close without breath,
ing a prayer for Captain Tillman anc
his men. May the Lord keep then
and be with them on tented field anc
in the raging conflict. We are sure
that they will have the prayers of al
Christian people both here and every
where. Again we say: "God bless
this Captain and his men,"
