fine showing in all of them this year.

THE OLD, OLD QUESTION.

Style seems always the same. We
have learned that the ancients wore
corsets, high-heeled shoes, slit skirts,
boomers and other devices and gar
ments, fashionable today One may
learn, by dint Of reading, that it was
likewise stylish a century or so ago
to wear as little clothes as possible.
It is thus shown that this tendency
among modern women is only an in
heritance from the past.
In letter written to her sister in
1854, Mrs. Abigail Adams, wife of John
Adams, who was then special diplo-
matte commissioner to France, made
this interesting observation:
Fashion is the deity which every
one worships in this country, and,
run tH5 Highest " Ile 1OWeSJt
you must submit To be out of
fashion is more criminal than to
be seen in a state of nature-to
which Parisians are not averse.
We are utterly convinced that the
question of clothes for women is one
Of the oldest problems of the universe,
even ante-dating the issue of womens
rights 1t is reasonable to believe that
the women Of other centuries, like the
women of today, were wont to look
after their clothes first and their
rights next.

KEEPING THE DOLLAR AT HOME.

1t is customary for newspapers all
over Georgia to publish advertise
ments, whenever they can get tsuch,
from the deparement stores of At
lanta, Augusta, Macon or Savannah.
That has been done in Americus, just
as it is done in Albany, Dublin and
other little cities with daily newspa-
pers.
From street business standpoint,
tire newspapers are thoroughly justi-
fed in accepting such advertise
ments.
Yte it is an encouragement to the
people of the respective communi-
ties to trade away from home.
And the Times-Recorder, ever 10y
al to Americas and Sumter county
believes in the buy-at-home policy.
SO henceforth there will be no
more advertising accepted by this
newspaper that will be an induce
ment to the home folks to buy things
elsewhere that they can buy Just as
cheapIy in Sumter county. The
Times-Recorder will not accept mail
order advertising that makes a bid
for the dollar to which the merchants
Of this county are entitled. Notice
to this effect is being given the va
rious advertising agencies.

ON STEEL APPROVED
BY JAPANESE HOME MINISTER

TOXIC, Oct, S.-Baron Shimpei Go
to, Japan's Home Minister, has char
acterized the United States ban on
expectation of iron and steel as en-
tirely necessitated by the war and
as declaring that it is unreasonable
for Japan to expect an absolute cen
collation. or removal of the embargo
The only way for Japan to approach
the question, he said, was to request
some exceptional treatment affording
Japan a smooth operation Of the ship
building industry. He believed the
steel question would be settled salts
factorily Baron Goto added:
Recently the movement Of the
Jauanese business bodies opposing the
American embargo on iron and steel
is becoming stronger and some agita-
tors at times indulge in utterances
which are by no means pleasing to
American to hear. Such an attitude
on the part of our countrymen can
not be recommended. They should
observe an attitude of calm circum-
spection seeking the solution of the
problem by making moderate and con-
ciliatory means. At the same time
they must not begrudge making sac
rifces in cause of the war"

RAISING OUR OWN BREAD.

The week beginning Monday, Oct.
Is, has been designated by DR.. Andrew
NJ. soule, federal food administrator
fer Georgia, as Wheat Week, and it
will be observed by farmers all over
the state by the preparation of the
land or the planting on every farm of
at least enough wheat for home con-
sumption DR.. Soule says: From
three to five acres sown in wheat
should supply the average family of
five persons with all the -four neces-
sary"
The program announced by the sec
rotary of agriculture and state agri-
cultural officials and state councils of
defense calls for the sowing of 47,337,-
600 acres of wheat in the United States
in 1917-191S. To do it's share Geor-
gia must SOW $4,000 acres, which is
an increase of 100 per ceent. over its
acreage of last year
The average yield of wheat for Geor-
gia is very low. In fact, the average
for the last ten years is only 10.7
bushels per acre. At this rate Georgia
should produce next year with the in
creased acreage S,41O,2OO bushels of
wheat, which is about one million less
than we normally consume.
The average consumption of wheat
per capita in the United States is
about IA bushels While this fig
ure may be little high in the South
ern states, where corn bread is sub
stituted for wheat flour, still it will
serve as a basis for calculating the
needs of the average family.
While three to five acres will supply
the average family, still it is urged
that farmers in sections of the state
where wheat can be profitably grown
sow larger areas. In recommending
this large increase in the wheat acre
age, officials have taken into account
the crop rotation on the farm, which
should be maintained in the interest OF
sDring-planted crops.
The Wheat Week movement will be
conducted in the counties by the coun-
ty agents of the State College of Agri-
culture who are in close touch with
the farmer and know something Of
his problems.
Here in Sumter the wheat produc-
tion this year was double that of the
preceding year, and the indications are
that it will be even larger for the
coming crop. Planting is being done
by the farmers who heretofore have
never eaten a loaf of bread made
from homegrown wheat, and others
who have had little acreage in this
food crop are increasing it.
1t will be many years, if ever, be-
fore Georgia raises enough wheat for
its own needs, but at any rate it is
making wonderful strides in that di-
| rection

A GREAT CONGRESS-.

The extraordinary session of Con-
gress which ended Saturday after six
months of unceasing activity, was I'M
doubtedly the most important in re-
suits ever held since the formation of
the American system of government.
No other Congress ever enacted such
vast amount of far-reaching legisla
tion-none has ever had such momen-
tous problems presented for its con-
sideration.
Among the measures passed were:
The army draft law, two war credits,
measures authorizing loans to the AL
lies and sale of domestic bonds, the
war tax law, appropriation of $780,
100000 for airplanes, the espionage
act, control of foods, feeds and fuel;
the trading with the enemy act, includ-
ing authority for the president to en-
barge imports, the soldiers and sail
ors' insurance act, and the war budget
bills.
The principal disputes of the session
were on the draft, food control and
war tax bills, with opposition center
ed in the senate. Cloture was twice
resorted to thereon the food and war
tax measures-but its actual imposi-
ton averted.
During the session six allied mis-
sions appeared before Congress.
Congress also found time to take i'm
portant action on two important do
nestle matters prohibition and wom-
an suffrage.
Besides prohibiting manufacture or
importation of distilled beverages and
authorizing the president in the food
control bill to stop or curtail that Of
beer and wines, the senate passed the
Sheppard resolution, proposing a ma
tional dry amendment to the federal
constitution It is pending in the
house for action in December.
The house created a special commit
tee on woman suffrage, while the SEN
ate favorably reported the Susan B.
Anthony amendment.
In times past complaint was gen
eral that congressman idled away
their time and did no harder work
than draw their salaries. But the
members of the present Congress have
worked, as the record shows for it
self. Each man has been watched by
his constituents-votes have been pub
licly scrutinized as never beforehand
this made it incumbent upon senators
and representatives to study thorough
ly each matter pending for decision,
and to vote not only their convictions
but their intelligent judgment.
The recent extraordinary session
will undoubtedly survive in history as
the most notable of all time
