FISH RAISING GOOD PLAN.
Mr.. Long Says Farmers May Con-
serve Products of Land by Eating
Those OF Streams.

Clemson College, Oct. 1O.-"A
source of meat supply that may, be
developed in South Carolina at ex-
ceedingly little cost is fish," says Di-
rector w. w. Long of the agricultural
extension division of Clemson College,
in a discussion as to the ways the
State can do it's part in furnishing food
for home use.
Our streams contribute great
quantities of fish," continues Mr.. Long,
"and at little expense a great many
farmers are SO situated that ponds
may be constructed, and with the help
of the Fish Commission at Washing
ton these ponds can be stocked with
the choicest table fish.
with some little care a bountiful
supply Of meat products may be Sc
cured from this source. Every fish
eaten is that much gain in solving
the present problem of living. The
food products of the land are cor
served by eating those of the
streams"
Mr.. Long saws that this is q mat
ter worth looking into and that the
agricultural extension division of
Clemson College is arranging to rem
der service to those farmers who
are interested in constructing their
private ponds by taking the matter
up with the Fish Commission and
getting its cooperation.

TO PREVENT SPECULATION.
MIDDLE MEN BETWEEN GROWER
AND RETAILER TO BE PLACED
UNDER LICENSE.
Letter from Mr. Hoover Says Law Re-
quircs Statement from Handlers OF
Cotton Seed OH Cost and Profits.

Columbia, Oct. 9.-Congressman
Larsen, of Georgia, has made public
the following letter from Herbert
Hoover:
The food administration has no
authority to fix any price on cotton
seed. The food bill, however, provid-
es that all middlemen between the
grower and the retailer Of cotton seed
goods may be placed under licensH tho
object of which license is to see that
speculative and unfair profits are not
taken from the handling and manu-!
facture Of such comm odities. We,
therefore, intend within a few days
to place all cotton seed buyers. crush
ers and refiners under license
1T is our belief that this interven-
ton on our part is to the material
benefit Of the cotton seed producer as
well as the consumer, and further
more, we believe that it will work out
to the benefit Of the distribution and
manufacturing industries themselves
in eliminating unfair competitive
methods. These measures cannot in
any way affect the price of cotton seed
and the differo ntials to be allowed in
each line of distribution or manufac-
ture will be determined on a basis of
a fair cost for handling and a fair
profit calculated on the normal pre-
war charges, with proper allowances
for Increased cost, due to the war.
I'VE are establishing no fixed basis.
but will require complete statement
from every handler and manufacturer
OF cotton seed or cotton seed products,
of the cost of his raw material and the
realization that he made from it, and
we will expect him, under the terms
of the license, to adhere to the law
with regard to a proper profit. Under
the food bill all accounts of licenses
are subject to inspection by the food
administration and this will be taken
care of in due course of the admins
tration.
1T certainly cannot be to the inter-
est of either the grower or the con-
sumner that large speculative profits
shall be made between these two po-
sitions. 1t is precisely for this pur-
pose that the food bill was passed
and we consider it our duty to carry
out the will of congress to effect this
end"

OF Mutiny Among NilEcl:nslla vci,

Washington, Oct. 1O.--Few dis
patches since the war began have
created more interest at the navy de
P"rtment than tOday's reports from
Amsterdam telling of a revolt in the
German navy. Officers unhesistatingiy
oeciared that the story, so far not

The declining morale on the west
erh Iront, 1t was said, has shown it
self in the feeble character of recent
counter attacks.
The revolt in the navy, these Of
fiocrs said, was q more serious mat
ter for Germany The sailors gen
orally have not been subjected to the
batter of guns day after day, month
after month. They insisted that if
there is discomfort among the sailors
with their condition. it mus: be even
greater in the army.
AS one possible explanation Of the
navy revolt, they pointed out that
ever since submarine warfare was
started by the Germans the British
have adopted the consistent policy OF
Hupprossing information to the fate
OF submarines sent to the bottom by
their patrols. The policy was adopt
ed as deliberate method of break
ing down the morale Of the submarine
crews.

What the Soldiers ami Sailors In
Surancc Law Provides.

| New York Sun.
Certain general provisions of the
soldiers and sailors insurance law
should receive the attention of all
Americans.
Briefly, the bill provides allowances
for The dependents of soldiers and
sailors, including compulsory allot-
Ecnts Of the fighting mans pay; it
provides compensation for death or
disability; it further enables the man
in the service to get life insurance at
cost.
The government binds itself to put
up dollar for every dollar the en-
listed man allots his family. The man
must allot $l5 n month and may allot
half his pay. If he has no wife or
child and allOts no money to other de-
pendents or for other purposes he may
be compelled to deposit with the gov
ernment at per cent compound in
terest half his pay, or so much of halt
his pay as he has not allotted.
The family allowances are gradu-
ated. The enlisted man receiving $33
n month allots $3.50 for his family
If there are enough children the gov
eminent will allow as much as $50,
giving the family $66.5O a month to-
ward living expenses.
The compensation for death or dis
ability includes death or disablement
by disease contracted in the service.
1t is graded and is granted expressly
IN place Of a service pension. but of
course, this is no bar to the granting
Of service pensions by some future
congress, although it is intended to
interpose what Judge Julian w. Mack
calls a moral barrier to legislation
Of that type. Death and disability
compensation is not assignable, cannot
be taxed. cannot be attached and is
exempt from legal execution.
The unusual feature Of the bill is the
selling Of insurance to soldiers and
sailors at cost. Any man may insure
himself up to 100000, paying about SS
Il year for each $1,000 of insurance.
Thus the cost of $4,000 policy is ex-
pected to be 81 month or less.
This is term insurance, renewable
from year to year while the war la SITS.

vertible, without physical examination.
into ordinary life policies, at a higher
rate, to be sure, but no higher than
man normally pays in peace times. The
conversion is in amounts of $500 OF
multiples thereof. a man insured dur
ing the war at $4,000 may convert
his policy into life policy of smalley
amount or he may take life policy
of $4,000 and pay the increased rate

rolmcnt the soldier or sailor has 120
