 From mountain and from sea resort the tourists are returning, and they nave freckles by the quart, and sun burn fercely burning. No doubt you gambOled with the rest, where sylvan torrent gushes, where little robins build their nest, and sparrows chase the thrushes. No doubt you're full Of thrilling yarns, that you desire to tell us, of ocean waves or mountain tarns which tales will make us jealous. But, have you brought back nothing more than rather idle stories of bask- ing by the briny's shore, or mid the forests glories? Have you brought back a lot of pep for your employers service, or have you still a tagging step, and are you stale and nervous :: Have you brought hack new vim and zeal, from all your rural scouting? Un- less you have, l surely feel, you've had a useless outing Have you brought back a glad desire to quit your lazy nodding, and labor like a house afire. and set the boss applauding? If you still hunt the easy chair in which we've oft surveyed you. your tan won't get you anywhere, your freckles will not aid you.

At the request of State Game War den Joe V. Prochaska, M. r. Cosby of Benson. deputy warden for COchise, Pima and Santa Cruz counties, has just made a survey of reservoirs III the St. David district with view to their use for propagating fish. Such propagation is being encouraged by the government as a food cOnserva- tion scheme. Around St. David Cosby found 100 reservoirs supplied by ar tesian wells suitable for the purpose. In size they range from small ponds to little lakes covering an acre or more.
 The hope of the food conservers is to make fish as much as possible a substitute for meat. Whenever a farmer has the necessary water they would like to see nim raise enough fish for his own use and if possible for commercial purposes. C. F. Gil lette. a farmer near Benson. placed some fish in one Of his ponds some years ago and now he has been of fered 25 cents for his black bass, the purchaser to catch them.
 For further information address the same warden.

dropped bombs in the southwestern

of raiders attempted to cross the de-

across London and bombs were again
dropped in the Southwestern district.

STRONGEST AIR ATTACK YET.
Fire From Defending Guns Longer
and Louder Than Ever Before.

London, Oct. 1.-The strongest air
attack yet attempted on London and
the coast towns by the Germans was
carried out tonight by four groups OF
hostile airplanes. Some of the ma
chimes got through to London and
bombed the southwest district.
A terrific barrage was sent up from
the defense guns and the roar of bat
tie lasted intermittently for two and
half hours.
The Germans bombed coast towns
as they passed over and proceeded to-
ward London. Two of the groups sue
ceeded in getting a number OF ma
chimes through the sky barrage. Nu-
merous bombs were dropped on the
southwestern district, which is thick
" populated with the homes of the
upper and the middle classes. The tlre
from the defending guns was longer
and louder than ever before. A rain
of shrapnel fell in all sections of the
town and the streets were virtually
deserted save for a few police.
Favorable for Raiders.
The weather was perfect for air op-
erations, as there was bright full
moon, with no clouds or wind. The
people of London expected q raid and
were waiting for signals. Soon after
7 O'Clock motors of the volunteer
corps sped through the streets blow
ing their sirens and displaying an IL
Illuminated notice, take cover The
telephone exchanges notified their
subscribers and other measures were
put into execution to inform the pop
ulace of the impending air raid.

performances Notwithstanding the
raids. At the conclusion of the per-

WHEATLEsS, MEATLESS DAYS.
People Urged to Abstain From These
Foods Oh One Day Each Week.

David R. Coker, United States Food
Administrator for South Carolina,
has issued an appeal to the people
of the State advocating a meatless
and wheatless day for each week.
The following is the appeal to the
people of South Carolina:
'The time has come for our people
to prove their patriotism by little
self denial. While the soldiers of
our allies are bravely fighting and our
own splendid boys are getting ready
for the big push we must do our part
at home to support and encourage
them.
The United States Food Admins
tration has asked every family of the
nation to abstain from the use OF
wheat in any form during one day of
each week. and also to abstain from
the use of meat for one day. 1t is
estimated that S0,000,000 to 90,OOO,-
600 bushels of wheat and 2,200,O0O,-
900 pounds Of meat would be saved
if the entire nation adopted this pro-
gram.
"N1ost Of our people thoroughly
appreciate our great cereal, corn,
and it would be no hardship on them
to use it exclusively not only one day,
but on several days Of the week..
With we'll boiled hominy for break
fast cornbread for dinner and corn
muffin or spoon bread for supper,
none of us will feel the absence OF
biscuit or lightbread.
THE need of saving wheat and
meat is very great, and l, therefore,
call upon the people of South Caro-
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1917-10-04

lima to respond to the call of the
National Food Administration and
abstain from wheat and meat on one
day of each week."

German Press
Favors Pope S
Peace Proposal
Opinion Expressed That Pom
tiff Consulted Entente Be
fore Writing His Note

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 16.-The Pope's
peace proposal, according to Berlin
dispatch, seems to have had friendly
reception in the leading circles in Ger
many, having fallen on carefully pre-
pared ground
Several of the newspapers report that
the Pontiff had sounded out both bel
ligerent groups in advance and inti-
mate to their readers that the Entente
therefore probably is in sympathy with
his mediation. The Roman Catholic
organ, "Germania," insists that the step
was of such sweeping Importance that
it is impossible it was taken without
the Vatican first getting in touch with
both groups of the warning factions.
The newspaper pretends to know that
the note contains one material point
missing from the published summary
namely, a pre-war economic rapproche'
ment.
The "Vorwarts" refers in connection
with the Pope's peace offer to current
rumors of conference Of financiers Of
the beligerent powers recently held in
| Switzerland 1t says the German pub
! lie is entitled to full information re-
] garding the conference and demands a
statssent from DR.. Karl Helfferich
Vice Chancellor, who as a former Sec
retary of the imperial treasury pre-
sumably had knowledge of it.
The Cologne "Volkszeitung," orgar
of the pan-German wing Of the Catho
lie party, is in an unfortunate position
by reason Of the note. This newspape
has just asserted .. in, hot artlcl'
against the peace policy OF Matthias
Erzberger, member of the Clerical Cen
ire in the Reichstag, that Erzbergei
was not entitled to obtain Papal sup
port or sympathy for his campaign
that there was nothing further iron
the Pope's intentions than an attemp
to suggest terms of peace, particularly
a non n-annexationist peace.
kilograms received here from Berllr
slur over the attitude of the German
press on the Pope's proposal, and il
will be necessary to await the arriva
of the newspapers to determine whether
their editors or the censor is respon
sible for this attitude.
The "Kreuzzeitung" of Berlin, copy
! Of which has been received here, says
sympathy with the Pope's wish fol
peace must disappear when it is seer
that he mas united himself with such
conditions as restorations and no in
| IDENTITIES.
The newspaper considers that th'
nature of the peace outlined by th'
Pope must compel the Central Power
to refuse the Offices of the Pontiff
This newspaper says it fears the affsI
will have an unhappy influence no
only in Austria but among the Cath
olics in Germany.
The "Koelnische Zeitung" consider
! the proposal to enter into negotiation
on the basis of the Pontiff's programn'
should not be rejected.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-Premier
Lloyd Georges optimistic speech in the
British Parliament to-day was inter
preted here as preliminary lndica-
ton of the attitude the Allied nations

while the State Department was re-
ceiving by cable from the British For
eign Office the text of Pope Benedict's
message to the leaders of all belliger-
ent nations proposing a basis for peace
negotiations and earnestly appealing
for its consideration. In Entente dip
lomatic quarters and among govern
ment officials Lloyd Georges announce
ment of improvement in food condi,
tions, removing the danger OF England
being starved into submission. his as
surance that losses through submarine
attacks continued to decrease and his
declaration that there would be suf
ficient tonnage Tor 1918 and for 1919 il
necessary were hailed joyfully as I
sign Of Great Britain's safe position
and firm attitude.
