MARKETING EXPERT
INSPECTING FARMS

NJ. C. Gay, Of Athens, federal market
Ing expert working under the national
commission in charge of the food cam
paigl, is in this city for the purpose of
investigating conditions in Sumter
county with regard to arranging a
marketing system whereby the farm
ers Of this section will be able to dis
pose Of their products most advantage
ously.
Mr.. Gay is marketing agent for this
district, and is making tour of in
spection throughout the entire section
to gather information as to the amount
of food crops that can naturally be ex-
pected to be produced here this sea-
SON
He declares that he can sell all the
sweet potatoes the farmers in this
county will raise this year, securing
good Price for the producer. He urges
every farmer to plant at least small
acreage in sweet potatoes, as this
cror is comparatively easy to raise
and the return per acre is most salts
factory.
Many planters are erecting sweet po-
tato curing houses, using the plans fur
nished by the State College of Agricul-
ture through the agricultural agents
in each county. w. J. Boyett, whose
Office is at the Chamber of Commerce
headquarters, will have several sets
of these plans within a few days and
farmers are urged to secure them, as
IL ere is no charge made for the speci-
fcations and bl1e prints.
With one of these curing houses, the
farmer can save his entire crop of
sweet potatoes, so that next winter and
spring he can take advantage of the
greatly increased price. The value OF
tile sweet potato as food crop as
we'll as feed for cattle and hogs, is
bringing the matter of increased acre
age in this product to the favorable
consideration of Sumter county farm
ers.

The Church and Industry: THE at
titude of the church has usually been
turned away from the social to indi-
vidual obligations. The privileges,
rights and obligations of the individual
have been paramount; and only as
modern inventions have forced capital
lists into partnerships and trusts, and
laborers into unions, has the church
awakened to the new conditions, and
gone to the Word of God for its helpful
message, realizing that the Bible has
social message and meaning. There
is an overwhelming gulf between the
women of the church and the women in
industry; working women are drifting
away from the church, and a feeling
of antagonism is arising. The Christ
ianizing America in no small way de-.
ponds upon the church's getting in
touch with industrial workers."
A kindergarten Among Foreigners.
Securing the names of new kindergar-
ten children is often a puZzling task.
A Mexican mother recently confessed
herself unable to spell her daughters
name, but assured the kindergarten
that it is "Aurelia Torres" The ia
theirs superior education having been
appealed to in order to further verify
the matter, he wrote Martin Torres"
Probably further investigation will
show that he thought his own name
was desired. During the first year OF
the Italian Hill kindergarten one poor
lad was called by his surname until it
was discovered that many parents
write that first; then, the other name
having been lost, and the mother hav-
ing become hopelessly confused by a
second request for the information, he
was addressed for while by middle
name unfamiliar to him, and finally
provided on the roll with surname
that was really his mothers Chri1tiad
name. GRACE S. BROADHURST,
Supt. of Study and Publicity.

Il didn't raise my boy to be soldier
The nations ought to arbitrate,

But couldn't face my son if I made
him leave undone
His bit to help America today.
Though l couldn't bear to think of him

And it's terrible to trust him to the

I'll give him with will where he
doesn't have to kill,
Is there nothing for my boy and
me-"
There's a call for him that's louder
every minute;
There's hungry world that he can
help to feed.
There's a fight without gun that is
waiting for your son
There the enemy's the vermin and the

II you didn't raise your boy to be a

If you didn't raise your boy to be a

Butts Manual Versus Hike

There seems [ be a change OF heart,
we used L hike and hike,
And march so much our feet got
good and sore.
But now we drill around tn camp.
Butts manual and tn like;
It seems as II we'll never march no
more.
These bayonet drills and settin-up, and
all that sort Of trash.
They're good enough Tor any raw
recruit;
But what we older soldiers need 10
drill with pep and dash,
We've almost all forgotten how Z
shoot.
We haven't got a thing Z say about
IN kind Of drill,
It's tn officers that say what we
must do
They stand around and watch Us work
you'd think they'd catch chill.
While we are exercisin' till we're
blue.
