STANDARD OIL TANKERS
NOW PAINTED WAR COLOR

Following the lead of government
vessels all the fleet ships OF the Stand
ard Oil Company are changing thel.
colors to the battleship gray tone and
cannot be made out short distance
away. Until the emu OF the war they
will have no distinctive markings and
80 will sail the seas in greater safety
from submarines.
In addition to being painted gray
the vessels are having their names
painted over at the stern and on the
bows and there Is no mime displayed
over their pilot-house. The stack
which was formerly black with nuge
white S, is now gray like the hull and
upper works. -.
This is the second fleet making this
port to change to the gray, the two
steamers of the Union Steamship Com
pany, flying the British flag, which ply
between this port and New Zealand
having changed to gray two trips ago

they will be ready to cooperate with
lis in every way. particularly IL the
information can be honestly and eff
GENTLY spread among them. We are
at work on a means Of doing this at
present.
II the farmers do not voluntarily
take up the use OF the spray IL may be
necessary for the commission to regu
late on the subject do the spraying
ourselves and charge it against the
crop. II is not only a benefit to the
producer financially, but it is heCrs
sary protection against waste. Even
II the spraying did not actually increase
the yield II is a prevention OF the
spread Of disease from one field to
many Of our health regulations.
Another thing is that the local
grower must realize trat he must meet
competition Although every one in
Hawaii will give the local produce frs
chance ne can not be expected to pay
higher price for home grown pro
ducts than for Californian. The coz
sumner must be considered just a.
much as the producer and the con
sunc7 will not pay $3.50 a bog for
local potatoes when he can buy others
at S3. The extra soc would be waste.
Prom the growers point Of view
the food commission agents will in
form them when to plant their seeds,
figuring on the future market. For
instance a grower OF onions can not
expect a good price later than June 1.
of every year, but in March, April and
early May he can expect a handsome
price. There is no lack of patriotism
in growing onions with view of get
ting q top market. Hawaiian grown
onions in those months would also
tend to bring down TO a more reason
able level the prevailing prices at that
time, and wuld be distinct benefit
to both the producer and consumer
The same applies to potatoes. They
can be grown here to catch the early
market, and to this end our farmers
should urge their efforts. Everything
the food commission can do they will
do in assisting them.

ITO The Women of the Courcil of
Defense:
Mrs. i. Louise Naycs, Of Grccn-
vale, Chairman Of the South Carolina
Wo'nan'S Council of Defense, has
sent out the following instructions
for your information. The Food Adj
n,inistration will bc glad if You will
carry these out in your community.
Now that the conser\ alton
men of our State, it is imperative to
follow with suggestion that may
prove helpful to the housewives in
their attempts to keep the pledge,
and still provide tempting and nour-
ishing menus for their families.
If we take from a child cherished
toy we disturb the equilibrium of its
happiness until it is restored by new
cr or more attractive playthings. Men
and women are but children of lar
personal experience that until the
necessity is urgent our husbands,
brothers and sons do not fancy CIV
ing up their hot biscuit, rolls and
roast. Those wiser than we, with
Worldwide vision of our own and our
Allies needs, have prescribed meat
less and whcatlcss day, each week.
Some of us know that in families,
not vitally connected, with the army
by the tie of brother, husband or
son, that there is some resentment
fclt toward this disturbance of their
time honorcd menus. "'Tis true, it's
pity; it's pity It's true" but never
thClass, we must face the facts that
exist, not ideals, that should prevail.
1t is with the hope then of assisting
the housewives in keeping the peace
of the family, that enclose some war
recipes which have been prepared to
meet this need by Mrs. Kate Brew
Vaughn. We have tested them, and
know they are tempting and nouriSh-
ing. Try them for yourselves, and
then if possible, get the cooperation
of your County demonstrator and
give demonstrations in the town and
country school houses.
Again may ask the cooperation
of the South Carolina women in scrv-
ing refreshments at social functions,
large or small. If we would use
fruit salads and crackers, with what
ever beverage we prefer, there would
be an Immense saving of wheat and
meats. We are accustomed to uSc
sandwiches, to a large extent at So
waste connected with sandwiches.
It's true the crcackcrS are wheat, but
those left over are in perfect condi-
ton, which is not the case in the
sandwiches.
Urge too the winter garden. 1t is
more important now than it vas IN
the Spring. Now is the time to plant
English peas for early use. Onions,
spinach, kalc, mustard and radish"S
can all be planted now to great ad-
vantage. Don't lets leave the back
yard empty, when We can supply our
tables from th"m now, as we did in
the Spring.
We must keep preaching the Cos
pei Of economy and thrift Plant a
large bed Of turnip rooted radishcs
for your chickens for their wheatlcss
and mcatlcsS days. You will be sur
prlscd at the cagerncss with which
a. A
suits you will obtain. This sugges.
tion IS for those who have not the
space for rye"
