FARMERS WILL GATHER
FOR CONFERENCE HERE
HEET TOMORROW TO HEAR
GOOD SPEAKERS.
Clemson Experts to Tell Lancas-
ter Planters About Value of
Soy Beans.

Experts from Clemson College will
come to Lancaster tomorrow for the
purpose of addressing a mass meet
ing of Lancaster county farmers at
the court house tomorrow afternoon
at 8 O'Clock. The idea of the meet
ing is to stimulate interest among
the farmers of this section in grow
ing soy beans.
DR.. w. w. Long director of ex-
tension of Clemson, has written to
Lancaster urging that the farmers of
the county attend this meeting and
heed the advice Of the speakers.
1t is pointed out that the soy bean
crop is one crop that can be grown
profitably under boil weevil condi-
tons and that therefore it is an i'm
portant crop for the farmers OF South
Carolina to consider right now. 1t
is also said that the oil mills will
purchase at market prices all of the
soy beans that the farmers have to
offer.
Those in charge of the meeting foi
tomorrow say that they hope to see q
large attendance at the meeting and
they believe that the gathering will
be productive of much good in this
county.

FLAUNTING
AN UTTER DEFIANCE
FINAL DECLARATION ON
UNDERSEA WARFARE.
Period of Comparative Calm Has
Set in On Western Front
of Theatre.


If the United States at the coming
extra session OF congress should de-
clare war against Germany, that
country will have to bear and over
come it. This statement. made by
the German imperial chancellor in
the reichstag, seems to be Germany's
final declaration that Germany does
not intend to give up her unrestrict-
ed submarine campaign.
The chancellor during his address
said Germany had never had the
slightest intention of attacking the
United States and has no such in
tention now and that if the Ameri-
can nation considered Germany's sub
marine campaign cause for war,
I'VE shall not have to bear the re-
sponsibility for it,"
For the first time since the Brit
ish and French troops began their
seizure of ground between Arras and
Soissons, evacuated by the Germans,
period of comparative calm has
set in
The only advance recorded by
either the British or French war Of
fees is the capture of the village of

northwest of Roisel, by British
troops.

In Russia the situation remains

Petrograd reports the repulse of

CREAMERY is OBLIGED --.~--=
TO GO OUT OF BUSINESS
Lafayette and Bernadotte Concern
80 Was Over Twenty Years Old.

The Lafayette and Bernadotte cream
cry, in Bernadotte township has been
obliged to close down and go out of
business. The reason for this action
was the inability Of the concern to secure
sufficient raw material. The creamery
had been in operation continuously for
over twenty years. Until recently it
was considered one of the best of it's
kind in this part of the state. The
creamery was built before there was a
railroad thru the northwestern part of
Nicollet county, but since then condit-
lions have changed, and creameries have
have been built near the railway stations,
causing the saving of considerable ex-
pense in hauling supplies. The ad.
vent of the hand separators had also
considerable to do with crushing out Of
the Lafayette and Bernadotte concern
It is now possible for farmers to harry
cream a farther distance to creameu
than when hauling milk.

SOLD VINEGAR ENOUGH
TO PICKLE WHOLE TOWN

An exchange tells the story of a sly,
slick salesman who recently visited a
nearby community, and with twinkle
in his eye would approach a farmer and
offer him taste of a sample of forty year
old Kentucky whiskey, saying he was
selling vinegar and that it was worth
three dollars per gallon. Orders were
received thick and fast, with the cash
planked down with the order until the
agent coined a barrel of money. He
departed and the agent kept his word
to the letter. His customers receive
vinegar and nothing else. There is said
to have been enough vinegar received in
the neighborhood to pickle an entire
Congressional district. However, his
customers are said to have been really
disappointed. They say it's vinegar
all right, but not according to sample.

HARD ON THE WHITES

When the Seminole Indians go hunt
ing or visiting, their belongings are left
behind, unprotected, and it does not
seem to occur to them that anything
will be molested during their absence.
The late Bishop Whipple relatives an
incident of his early experience among
the Indians which suggests the Seminole
view. The Bishop was travelling over
land and had with him valuable silver
communion service. AS they were
starting from the camp for days visi-
tation, the Bishop asked, ''Will it be
safe to leave this silver here?' To
which his guide replied, Don't worry,
Bishop; there isn't a white man within
sixty miles of the place. -Erchamge.

FOLLOW FLAG AND
BOY Y. N. G. A. AIM
ORGANIZATION is MAKING A
GREAT EFFORT IN MILITARY /,
SERVICE.
WORK PLANNED is TO MAKE
LIFE OF AMERICAN SOLDIER
EASY.

The Young Mems Christian associa-
ton is organizing it's forces for service
during the waEs as 9it never has before.
Its aim, according to its officers is to
follow the soldier from the time he
leaves home until his return. 1t will
stick by his side thru all temptation and
danger. The men are given material
with which to write home; they are pro-
vided with entertainment to deliver
them from off-duty temptation, give
them hot tea, coffee or chocolate in cold
weather and to make them feel that
somebody still cares for them.
Will Give Practical Sympathy.
The Y. M. G. A. proposes to give its
best service to the one million American
men, who by September, will doubtless
be modified in camps this side of the
ocean or in the trenches of Europe. It
proposes to give practical sympathy to
men lonely, homesick and distressed in
mind, to extend help to those wavering
between right and wrong, and to inspire
them to help each other in their needs.
1t is anxious to GUST all immortality from
the camps so that it cannot be said of the
American army as a high Canadian
official said of the Canadian army at the
front, "More men are disabled from
service by disease from immortality than
by the shot and shell of the enemy
Because the Y. M. C. A. is prepared by
experience, approved methods and assur-
ed resources to serve especially the
troops in camp and field, because the
results obtained are so beneficial and
bear such direct relation to efficiency,
and because this organization "has
demonstrated it's ability to render a
service desired by officers and men,,
President Wilson signed an Executive
Order giving official recognition to this
movement "as a valuable adjunct and
asset to the Service
Minnesota Dark Spot.
S. Writ Wiley, general secretary of the
Minneapolis Y. NJ. c. A. who has just
returned from New York, says Mime

regard to the Y. M. G. A. war work fund.
But Mr.. Wiley is sure, from the reports
received from many of the cities, that,
once the campaign is fully launched,
Minnesota will not be backward in SUBJ
scribing the $4,000 which will go to
care for their boys in this country and in
france.

HINT FOR BEAN GROWER.

The high price of beans has brought
in the market beans Of Indifferent quality
for seed, and beans from California and
other western states. Prospective bean
growers should be very careful, therefore,
to have termination tests made before
they plant their beans and should refuse
absolutely to buy beans from California
or other Pacific coast states. Beans
raised in the west require from 125 to las
days to mature. This is much longer
than the growing season in Minnesota
and such beans planted here are said to
be practically all killed by frosts before
they mature.

ONLY FEW INDIANS WERE
KILLED DURING BATTLES
M. p. Satterlee Views Scenes OF
Fighting in New Ulm.

M. P. Satterlee Of Minneapolis was in
the city Sunday for the purpose of look
ing over the historic Sioux battle grounds.
He is a member of the Minnesota State
Historical Society and is quite well
posted on the early history of Mime
sofa and especially that part of the
history that pertains to the Sioux Indain
Massacre in August 1862. While here
Richard Pfeferle was kind enough to
show Mr.: Satterlee the buildings that
were in existence during the Indian
Massacre and are still standing.
In speaking to Review reporter Mr..
Satterlee made the statement that most
OF the people have wrong conception
as to the number of Indians that were
actually killed during the Indian .Massa-
ere. He claims that only two Idnians
were actually killed at Fort Ridgely,
and no larger number at New Ulm and
that the largest number of redskins was
killed at Woodstock Lake and that there
the casualties amounted to sixteen
and no more.
Mr.. Satterlee has written several
pamphlets pertaining to- the history OF
the Sioux Massacre and is glad to receive
any authentic information which may
tend to prove that some of the things
that he has put in print are not true 50
that he can make the necessary correc-
tions.

Death Camas Poisoning.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis, July 19.-Death camas poison
ing of sheep on typical Willamette
valley farm has led the Agricultural
College extension service to investi-
gate the distribution and control Of
that plant. Prof. w. E. Lawrence,
assistant botanist of the Experiment
Station, Investigated the poisoning
and made the following report:
In the pasture where the sheep had
died were found death camas plants
in quantities sufficient to produce the
death of several sheep and lambs. All
parts of the plant are poisonous
bulb, stem, leaves, flower and fruit
to all animals, including man. 1t is
known variously as sego, sego lily,
and wrongly as lobelia. 1t is easily
recognized in June by its conspicuous
flowers which occur in small clusters
OF creamy white blossoms. 1t has
grass-like leaves and an onion-like
bulb.
When abundant in pastures 1t must
be dug Up root and branch or else
sheep must be kept out! Cutting off
the stem above ground is no help af-
ter the first year. Animals do not
eat 1t voluntarily but crop it incl
dentally, and small amount Of the
plant is enough to produce death.
Further investigations of this and
other poisonous plants of western
Oregon will probably be made by Pro-
fessor Lawrence later in the present
year.

In the patriotic and historic pa

to emphasize the fact that while the
country has responded in a large
measure to the call of the nation, it
must be borne in mind that the war
will probably continue three years or
more. 1t is the hope to make these
pageants illustrative of the sacrifice
made in former wars by patriotic
peoples and to carry the lesson of en-
during patriotism during the present
conflict.
