MRS. WILSON TO GIVE
MADAME JOFFRE HAM

Washington, May 4.-Madame Jof-
fire, wife Of the marshal of France,
is going to get fine, big, sugar
cured Virginia ham, a gift from Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson, when the marshal
returns to Paris.
During one of the marshaTs calls
at the White House Mrs. Wilson
learned that Madame Joffre was very
fond of American ham, which is very
scarce there. Mrs. Wilson sent to
Virginia and procured an extraordi-
narily fine ham and sent it to Mar
shal Joffre, asking him to take it back
to Madame Joffre with her compli-
ments. The ham, carefully packed,
will go with the marshars personal
effects when he leaves the United

CoLORED PEOPLE DELIGHTED
WITH NEW DISCOVERY TO
BLEACH THE SKIN

Atlanta, Ga.-Says that recent
tests have proven without doubt
that swarthy or sallow compilations
can be made light by a new treat
ment recently discovered by a man
in Atlanta. Just ask your druggist
1or Cocotone Skin Whitener. People
who have used it are amazed at it's
wonderful effect. Rid your face of
that awful dark color or greasy ap-
pearance in a few minutes. 1t costs
so little that you can't afford to be
without it. Just think how much
prettier you would look with that
old dark skin gone and new soft,
light skin in its place. Men and
women today must care for their
compilations to enter society.
If your druggist will not supply
you with Cocotone Skin Whitcner.
send 25c for large package to Co.

CLIP THIS AND PIN
ON WIFE'S DRESSER
Cincinnati man tells how to shrivel up
corns or calluses SO they :.
lift off with fingers.

Ouch Z? ? This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town if
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that a few
drops of drug called freezone when
applied to tender, aching corn or
hardened callus stops soreness at
once, and soon the corn or callus
dries up and lifts right off without
pain.
He says freezone dries immediately
and never inflames or even irritates
the surrounding skin. A small bottle
of frezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callus from
ones feet. Millions of American
women will welcome this announce
ment since the inauguration of high
heels. If your druggist dosn't have
freezone tell him to order small bot
tie for you.

Censor College S. c.. April
Even the smallest backyard can be
made to yield supply Of fresh vege-
tables for the family table at but
small expense if two or three crops
are successfully grown to keep the
area occupied all the time. People who
would discharge a clerk if he did not
work the year round will often cult
vate garden at no little trouble and
expense, then allow the soil to lie idle
from the time the first crop natures
until the end of the season. Where a
two or three crop system is used in
connection with vegetables adapted to
smallareas, space no larger than 2b
x7Ofeet will produce enough fresh
vegetables for small family. Crops
which require lage area should not
be grown in garden of this size
Half an acre properly cultivated with
careful crop rotation can be made
to produce $4,000 worth of garden
crops p er year.

CONFISCATED CROWN
LANDS IMMENSE

Petrograd, May 4.-Thc crown
lands in Siberia, which the new pro-
visional government has confiscated
from the immpcrial family and turn
ed over to the state, include almost
the whole Of the provinces of Altai
and Nerchinsk, embracing terri
tory larger and probably richer than
Germany in it's natural resources.
Since the eighteenth century. these
lands have been the personal property
of the Russian cmperors who being
occupied with other matters, have
paid little attention to their develop
ment. Both provinces are rich in
minerals, including gold, iron, zinc
and lead. Included in these crown
lands are also the coal fields of Kuz-
netck, which are said by experts to be
among the richest in Europe. The
Altai region includes also thousands
of acres of undevelopcd farm land of
high fertility.
The opening Of these lands is ex-
pected to simplify the agrarian prob
lem and facilitate the work of econ
nomic adjustment after the war

NIGHT SCHOOLS
AND PATRIOTISM

In state where more than one
fourth of the people are illiterate.
and as many more, little better th,n
illiterates; one can scarcely do more
patriotic work than help train this
great mass of men and women, and
the most effective way to reach them
is through the night schools.
Fifty per cent. of South Carolina
is not under cultivation, and much
that is produced only a small por-
tion of what it is capable.
In this day when patriotism is need
ed in garden and in field; when the
whole world is looking to America
for food, and thousands of lives de-
pend on our ability to furnish it;
since illiterates are not accepted in
the army, now is the time to train
for the battle of life, teaching how
ever to save and produce rather than
to destroy.
While teaching illiterates to read
and write, they and thousands of
others, can be brought together two
or three times a week to study Gov
eminent or Clemson Extension Bull
lctins, on truck farming, fruit grow
ing, canning, good roads, sanitation,
forestry, etc, and so learn how best
to supply the needs of the country.
The first thing in organizing night
schools is, after securing teachers, to
call community meeting and have a
speaker outline the work The peo-
pie have already been told of the des.
perate need for food over the whole
world, but they have not been organ
lied into schools to learn how best
to supply this need. At the end of
the meeting pupils should be enroll
ed and school begun at once.
Later in the summer when the
crops are 'laid by" schools will be
found successful in rural districts if
held from 2:30 to 5 100 p. m.
Literary Digest Clubs might do
good for illiterates where copy is
subscribed for every six members who
will each keep it one day and pass it
on, then will meet once a week to
discuss topics of most interest.
Night schools are equally effective
in city, town, mill or rural commun-
ity, and to help with this work should,
now more than ever, be considered
an act of patriotism. For every man
and women not actively employed in
the Army, Navy, or Red Cross; here
is your chance to serve.

GIRLS HAVE PRETTY FACE
AND BEAUTIFUL COMPLEXION

An Atlanta man makes new dis
covery that makes an old face look
years younger. If your skin is dark,
brown, or covered with freckles or
5lemishes, just use little Cocotone
Skin Whitener; it's made with cocoa
nut oil and is perfectly harmless. A
few days use will improve your looks
100 per cent. The wornout skin
comes off evenly, leaving no evil
dence OF the treatment, the new
healthy underskin appearing as a
lovely new complexion.
Just ask your druggist for an
ounce Of Cocotone Skin Whitener,
and if he will not supply you send
25 cents to The Cocotone Co., Allan
ia, Ga, and they will send you a box
by return mail.
If your hair is hard to comb, is
kinky, nappy and will never stay
straight, just use Cocotone Hair
Dressing and it will become straight,
long, soft, glossy and beautiful in a
few days. Mail orders filled, 25 for
large box.-Adv.

SAYS WAR PROHIBITION
WILL MEET FOOD CRISIS

Boston, May War prohibition
will solve Americas food problem
more quickly than fcverish gardening
in park and yard and dismantled
lawn, "in the belief of former Govern
or Eugene N. Foss, of Massachusetts.
In statement today Governor Foss
declared that war prohibition is the
only path that will bring civilization
out of the woods" He asserted ma
tional prohibition is the biggest isue
before the nation today, and favored
its extension to our European allies.
"The United States could make
good the whole worlds deficit and
have millions of bushels of grain to
spare for the better feeding of it's
own people if it should put out the
fires in the brewercs and distilleries
and pour into the bakeries grain hith-
erto used in making fire water" said
Foss.
England's capital mistake has been
the feeble, temporizing, nerveless way
drink menace. A dry England could
have snapped her fingers at the sub
marines. The question is up to us
whether we shall follow England's s
folly or Russia's wisdom. 1t is the
children's food which is being rotted
into beer and then carried in great
automobile trucks every morning
from suburban breweries to city sa-
looms. That's the English way in
wartime. How long shall it be the
American way?
There is no doubt Of it. War pro-
hibition is the burning issue of the
immediate present. We are bound to
have it, and when it comes we should
insist on a rider to it. No Amer
lean grain should be shipped for brew
ing or distilling in English, French,
Scandinavian, even Belgian malt eel
lars and mash tubs. We should in
this particular instance place an un-
yielding embargo on Europe.
There are two ways of raising the
immense food supply we need-either
by feverish gardening in park and
and yard and dismantled lawn, or by
closing few hundred breweries.
Which is the simpler 1t is esti-
mated that the foodstuffs used in
making liquor annually in the United
States would feed seven million men
year"

BIG EASTERN RAILROADS
PLAN TO USE WOMEN

Ney York, May MANY big
eastern railroads stated making ar
rangements to employ women in place
of men called to arms by the draft.
Among the railroads which are tax
ing these steps are the New Haven,
Lehigh Valley, Erie, New York Cen
trail the Pennsylvania and the Long
Island.
The Central Railroad of New Jer-
sey has not made plans yet, but by ex-
periments already conducted on its
systems it feels sure that woman can
do the work of large number of men.
All roads made it plain that no men
would be displaced by women unless
actually drafted. The women will be
used in departments not actually en-
gagged in physical operation Of trains.
At the Offices of the Lehigh Valley
! road it was stated that women are
now being given preference in the
hircing of new employees, in depart
ments where they can do the work, as
the management expects many men
will be called to the colols within a
! few months. The Lehigh is already
employing women as car cleaners and
has made some experiments with them
as train despatchers. The New York
Central also employing women as car
cleaners.
The New Haven Offices declare
there was no doubt steps would be
taken to have women take the place
of drafted men. The Long Island is
preparing to employ large number
of women in clerical departments.
This road has already given work to
scores of women and the experiment
is declared to be a success.
Between 800 and 40O men ON
ployes Of the Grand Trunk terminal
are members of the national guard
and are momentarily expecting Il
summons to duty. All are being
rushed to put women in thei" places
Some have already left, ard wome,
are doing their work.
The Erie offices stated an actual
famine in male clerical work was az
ready being faced. Women are be-
ing called wherever possible.
"They may also be used 70 sell tick
cts-and collect tickets also FOR that
matter" said one official.
The Central Railroad of New Jer-
sey has not taken any actual steps
yet, but experiments which have been
conducted show that the employment
of women as clerks, ticket agents.
telegraphers and in similar positions
is "entirely feasible"
"This is situation," it was said
(which every railroad and every in.
dustry must face. We might as wei
get ready in time"
The Pennsylvania lines east OF
Pittsburg have planned to place many
women in clerical positions and will
later try them in other and more i'm
portant posts.

Hon. w. F. Stevenson has made his
maiden speech in Congress. 1t was a
mastery effort, as we knew it would
be. Mr.. Stevenson supported the
house bill on military service, believ-
ing it to be more democratic than the
senate measure, in that it would dis
tribute the call over wider age area.
Mr.. Stevenson, true to his colors,
is looking out for his district to the
best of his great ability, but at the
same time he is standing by the ad-
ministration in this crisis, just as ev-

Danger from the submarine has
taken on a more sinister look during
the past two weeks than usual.
It is very difficult to extract any COM
fort from the latest figures of ton
mage sunk. 1t is squarely up to your
Uncle Sam to save England from
starvation. We believe American in
genuity and American resources are
equal to the occasion. If, however,
we should fail, or faltcr, or even
blunder in this great crisis, woe be
unto us. 1t has been said so often
that we must believe it, that the
British fleet is all that stands between
US and Prussianism. Our own sal
vation therefore, clearly hangs on
England's ability to continue to car
