Preparing Produce for Market.

A committee from the Chamber o.
Commerce Is at work looking for a
market for the over production of veg
etables grown locally The disposine
of these is hard proposition. AL
this time of the year the market is
flooded with products and too, buy
ers are less because ordinary buyers
are now producers. Another difficulty
is that the Sumter county farmer with
q few exceptions refuses to put his
produce in marketable shape. He
wants to put them in an old sack.
drygoods box, or any container thar
happens to be at hand, and to bunch
the things together without grading
The buyers who sell again. demand
that products be packed in specified
ways and in specified quantities; 9th
erwise they will buy from someone
who will pack by these methods.
The solution is for every home I

things that can be canned, and con

that do not need canning to keep.

ADOLPH LEWISOHN
 FOR JEWISH STATE

MT. Adolph Lewisohn has authoriz- ed the Provision Executive Commit tee for General Zionist Affairs to is-
 sue the following statement, in his be- half:
 s1 think favorably of the estab- lishment of Jewish State in Pa1es- | tine, and hope that the league to en- force peace will include the Jewish l Naticn among those small nationali- ties which ought to be liberated and protected. I was formerly. not in sym pathy with the Zionist movement, but since America has entered the world
 war for the express purpose, as was | so nobly stated by President Will
 son, of protecting the rights of all na-
 tionalities, the Jews all over the world should, in my opinion, favor the es- | tablishment of the Jewish State in l Palestine, which will be a center of Hebrew life, and will have influence
 upon Judaism everywhere. As I un- | derstand it, the idea of the League to
 enforce Peace after it has been estab- l lished will be that all nations wheth-
 small or large shall be equally pro- tected.''

WHAT THE ZIONISTS
 EXPECT OF POWERS

Right Rev. Moses Caster, Chief Rabbi of the Sephardic Communities in England, and one of the foremost Zionists in the world, having been identified with the movement from it's inception, and the chief factor in the organization of the English Fed eration, has issued a statement in which he sets forth clearly the form of charter the Zionists expect from the world-powers that favor the es- tablishment of an independent Holy Land. .
 This statement was published in a recent issue of the Pail Mall Gazette, and it's chief feature is as follows:
 Jews have no political schemes of conquest. We contemplate charter, granted by the sovereign powers to the Jews, a charter which will not i'm pinge upon the acquired rights of the actual inhabitants, but will give the Jews a privileged position; the right of .pre-emption and purchase of Crown lands and railways, and facil- ities for all manner of industrial de- velopment. Free ingress of immi- grants, who will flock to the Holy Land, will be granted, and the right to regulate the influx would be vest ed in the Jews themselves. It would; of course, be stipulated that only sec ular land or property should be ac- quired, the sacred places remaining under the control of their own peo- ples as heretofore. What the Zionists want is not the power to rule, but the feeling that they are being governed l by just and fair administration, equitable, tolerant and. sympathetic; which. moreover, understands the possibilities of their future.''

U. s. SHIPS SAYS LORD PERCY WILL
 DETERMINE WAR

''The balancing factor in the world struggle is the tonnage the United States can supply. Only in case this is large can the present military ser vice and food supply be continued. This Is the most vita1ly serious prob lem which cannot be exaggerated" as- serts Lord Percy.
 "The United States" Lord Percy adds. lis one of the new countries that is absolutely self sufficient in men, the material, the inventiveness. France. Italy and Japan also are build ing somewhat, but unlike this country they must use ships to build ships through the need of importing raw materials.
 "The shipping problem is not only matter of tonnage, but equally g matter of how fast that tonnage is used. Every method possible is used to save shipping from the vital pur- posses and keep t away from nonses-

ANOTHER DRY MEASURE BOBS UP
 AT HARTFORD
Would Give Governor Pow CT to Close Saloons and
 Bar Rooms During War.

Hartford May 2.-Another petition for legislation that would give the governor power to make the state of Connecticut, at his discretion, partly or wholly dry as regards the sale of in toxicating liquors, was introduced yes terday The signers were Harrison B. Freeman, Louis Sperry, Francis R. Maxwell, Lucius F. Robinson Francis w. Cole, Arthur Birdseye, Hugh M. AL corn, J. Gilbert Calhoun, Edwin c. Dickenson, William F. Henney, Ed- ward M. Day J. H. Buck, Walter N. Clark, Stewart N Cunning and Louis Y. Gaberman.
 The petition in effect is a request for legislation along the lines of the following bill:
 Section 1. The governor is hereby authorized at any time during the con- tinuance of the war, whenever in his opinion the best interests of the state require such order, to issue an order to saloons and bar rooms of this state to close, and may forbid the sale of liuuor in this state or in any part thereof during the time stated in the order, or may limit the hours during which saloons and bar rooms may re- main open and sale of liquor permit ted. Notice of such order or orders shall be given by publishing the same in 10 newspapers published within the state of Connecticut.
 Section 2. The board of control is hereby authorized to refund to each holder of license for the sale of h- quor in any saloon or bar room closed by such order that part of the annual license fee which would be propor- tionate' to the, time such saloon or bar room remained closed by order of the governor.
 The woman suffrage amendment was made the order of the day for May |8. That on prohibition was set for Thursday of this week. An attempt was made to set the date for May 10 but Speaker Healy said that the gen. eral assembly would probably be ad- journed on May 10.
