enlargement of agriculture. Among
those in the diplomatic gallery were
Premier Borden, of Canada; Premier
Massey, of New Zealand, and many
representatives of allied nations and
the Dominions.
The premier said the ultimate sue
cess of the allied cause depended on
the solution of the tonnage difficult
ties with which they were confronted.
Before the war British tonnage had
been just adequate and since that
time there had been an enormous in
crease in the demand for tonnage.
More than 100000 tons of British
shipping had been allocated to France
alone and very considerable amount
had been set aside for Russia and
Italy. In addition a considerable
amount had been sunk.
Mr.. Lloyd George said that for
some time there has been a shortage
of tonnage required for the general
needs Of the nation and even slight
shortage in the tonnage for military
purposes. The nation should realize
absolutely what the conditions were.
"If we take drastic measures" he
continued, Eve can cope with the sub
marine menace, but if the nation is
not prepared to accept drastic meas
ures for dealing with the menace
disaster is before US.
"The government is hopeful of find
ing means of dealing with the subma-
rine, but we should be guilty of folly
if we rested TRANQUILITY upon the ex-
pectation of realization of that hope.
We have to deal ruthlessly and
promptly with the tonnage problem
by measures which impose great sac
rifices upon the country.
''There are three sets of measures

Carson First lord of the admiralty

BASKETBALL 1T
Y. NJ. c. 4. TO-DAY

This afternoon at 3:15 two inter-
mediate basketball league games will
be played. The first game win be be-
tween the Georgias and Alabamas,
while in the second the Floridas and
Texans clash. All the teams are
nearly evenly matched, even though
{ the league standing does not indicate
this clearly. In the five games played
thus far, the Texans have come off
with the highest honors, having lost
only one game. The Georgians have
won three games and been defeated
twice, the Alabamians have been the
victors twice and losers three times,
while the Floridas have only won
once. However. with four games to
play, there is still some hope for all
the teams, no one aggregation hav-
ing the pennant cinched. The rules
are going to be strictly enforced in
these succeeding games At a meet
ing Of the intermediate basketball
committee last night, special empha-
sis was laid upon the rule pertaining
to the teams having five men on the
floor at $40 p. m. If any team vio-
lates this rule the game is counted as
a forfeit, and every player who can
possibly do so should be on hand on
time.
Two games win be played this
morning between the Dodges and
Bucks, and the Studebakers and
Fords of the Junior basketball league.
Some very good games have been
played during the course of the
league, and all the captains are look
ing forward to another victory, Sc
both games will be highly exciting
and full Of interesting play. The
games will be played Immediately
after the regular gymnasium class.
Last night the closest game play
ed thus far in the employed boys
basketball league came off. The Lime
Colas emerged losers to the White &
Whites by the extremely close score
of II to 13. The playing was very in
teresting throughout. The team work
of the teams is being developed al
every game, and the best teamwork
of the season in this league wa:
shown. Some sensational goals wer
thrown by both teams, among then
being one by Bonnie Burt for tn,
White & Whites, and two for Ra!
Friedrichsen for the Lime Colas. Thu
goals were pretty evenly divided
Bjorensen getting three points, Mo
Kinnon five points, Burt two, an
Robinson three for the winners, Will
Meade made five points, Friedrichse,
four, and Duncan two for the loser:
All four guards did good work, an
the victory was obtained only after
s long, hard-fought game.

WATCH WEATHER FORECAST

The Weather Bureau of the United
States Department of Agricultural is
an agency for the conservation of
food products as well as of other prop
.erty. There are hundreds of ways in
which weather forecasts can be used
to advantage, if one goes at the mat
ter in a careful way. 1t is a mistake
to glance hurriedly at the forecast in
the newspaper and not correctly
catch its meaning. It is a mistake
to call up the weather bureau office
or the telephone exchanges, and then
hang up the telephone without get
ting the exact wording Of the fore
cast or the definite period it covers.
The forecasts as given on the cards
and weather maps sent out by the
weather bureau offices are carefully
stated and must be read carefully If
one desires to receive the benefits
offered. One should pay especial at

WHOLE COMMUNITY
NOW ASTONISHED
Langley Man Was in Bed Ten Week,
kecently-Tanlac Got Him Up.

E. D. Watts, a well-known citizen
Of Clearwater, S. c., went into How
ards Drug Store at Augusta. Ga.
recently to get a bottle of Tanlac
and while there told of the remark
able recovery of his brother in-law.
Jesse Walker, of Langley, S. c..
which caused such genuine astonisb-
ment to everybody in the community
VINO had known anything about Mr..
Walkers serious condition that hun
dreds of people have FASTENED to pro-
cure the medicine and are now using
it.
Jesse was down in bed for ten
weeks and his muscles would literally
draw up" said Mr.. Watts "and this
medicine got him up after he'd taken
three bottles, but to save my life
don't see how on earth it did it. for
he was in about a bad fix as a man
could be.
He had a bad form Of rheumatism
that sent pains down his back and
legs all the time and didn't seem to
ever let up, day or night. He suf-
fered so he couldn't sleep at all and
couldn't move around enough to get
out of bed.
He was just as nervous as he
could be and had high fevers off and
on during all the time. He had terri
BILE headaches and his stomach was
so upset that he was nauseated and
seldom had any appetite or desire to
take nourishment Of any kind. The
fact is. his system was simply broken
down with nervousness and pain.
He got some Tanlac and started
in on it, thinking, maybe, that it
would stop the sick stomach and make
him eat little, but the way it helped
him and went after the pains and
other trouble simply astonished him
and everybody else. Three bottles act
ually got him up and put him to
work and everybody in his neighbour
hood will tell you the same thing. He
seems to be relieved in every way, for
he eats what he wants and his nerves
are quiet and he sleeps as well as he
ever did in his life. The fact is, he
is strong and well and he looks like
he had never had a pain.
Tanlac is sold in Covington by the
Alexander Drug Co.

WEAR A FLAG

Wear flag and show your colOrs,
In these days of vague unrest;
When your country is in danger
Wear her flag upon your breast.
You may not seem patriotic
You may never have to fight
For your flag that stands for free
dom
Waving in the dawn's first light.
But, to show that you are loyal,
And to show just where you stand,
Have a flag pinned on you somewhere,
Emblem of your native land.
Only towards would refuse it
Those afraid to do their part
Only traitors would defame it
Wear a flag above your heart.
And, it stands for something sacred;
For it makes your pulses beat
When you see Old Glory waving
On the buildings down the street.
Through the Southland, where men
cherished
In their hearts the stars and bars,
Nearly every one is wearing
On his breast the Stripes and Stars.
And, the rich and poor, together
AT the sound of fife and drum,
Will give freely of their manhood
If the hour of need shall come.
So, then, why not show Your colors-
Wear with pride your starry flag.
Scorn the one whe would despise it.
Treats it like worthless rag
Never badge you wore more holy:
Glorious heritage Of years.
Proudly claim it as your birthright =
Stained with blood and wet with
tears.
For your fathers fought to save it
And they reckoned not the cost.
Shall their sons in safety keep it
That it's glory be not lost
BaA&k ekS
"Yes" It thunders from the South
land,
From the North, the East, the
West;
For the nations heart is beating
With her flag upon her breast!
