SAVE WHEAT, MEAT AND
SWEETS, SAYS MANNING

To the People of South Carolina:
desire to appeal to the people
South Carolina to lay down them
selves certain definite and specific
days on which we will save flour,
meat, sugar, and fats.
Our National Government has
come to us asking for the perfor-
nance of a specific duty. We are
asked to save meat, flour, sugar, and
fats.
urge our people to adopt the fol-
lowing program:
To use no beef, pork or mutton on
Tuesdays. On basis of Z ounces
per person, this will save 100000
pounds of beef, pork, and mutton
per week, or save enough meat to
feed all of the South Carolina SOL
diers in the army.
To use no wheat on Wednesdays.
This will save about two million dol
lars year, and would supply our
South Carolina soldiers in the army.
America uses now one hundred mil
lion barrels Of flour This must be
cut down to seventy-five million bar
rels.
10 use no hog meat on Thursdays.
This will save about 100000 pounds,
or enough bacon and ham to feed our
South Carolina soldiers in the army.
To use no cake or sweet desserts
on at least two days in each week.
We can use poultry, fish and vege-
tables. We can have them in abund-
ance if we will raise them.
We should save fats by broiling,
boiling and baking instead of frying.
No family is asked to stint, but to
save and avoid extravaganza and
waste. Elaborate meals should not
be permitted.
Use no beef, pork, or mutton on
tuesdays, no wheat on Wednesdays,
and no hog meat on Thursdays.
The saving of food is a war mea-
sure.
If our army is to be fed we must
meet the very reasonable demands of
the Food Administration.
The sacrifice asked at our tables
is small one compared to the price
our soldiers stand ready to pay in
blood. Remember the women and
children of France have not tasted
sugar during the past seven months,
and in many towns and provinces
meat is allowed only twice week.
President Wilson and Mr.. Hoover
urge these requests upon our people
as voluntary acts. am confident
that South Carolinians, red -blooded
and patriotic, realizing that Ameri-
can freedom, liberty, justice, and
honor are at stake, will respond to
this call and will do our part to win
the war. RICHARD |. MANNING.

TO AID REGIsTRANrs

Realizing the Importance of. all

assist all Registrants who apply to
them. Office hours 10 to 1 and TOD.
The Local Board advises all regis
trants to avail themselves of, this

QUESTIONABLE not properly filled out
may result in Registrants losing their
rights to deferred classes.

ANOTHER SUGGESTION.

AS a measure Of food conservation
the Illinois Central railroad suggests
that the people living along its line
keep their live stock off the right
of way and thereby save the number
that are killed.
The suggestion is not made in a
humorous sense, but in circular over
the signature of General Manager T.
]. Foley, giving facts and figures that
show an astonishing loss of live sto"-i
through his single agency He says
that during the last five years there
have been killed upon the waylands of
the Illinois Central system, 5,122 head
of horses and mules, 1921 head 81
cattle and 1885 head of hogs, total
loss and absolute waste

FRED R. REIsNER.

Fred, the seven year old son Of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Reisner, died at
the home of his parents Sunday night,
after having been i'll for few days
with scarlet fever. "Ted", as he was
familiarly known to everyone in the
neighborhood of his home, was rugged
and likable lad, and because of
his good-natured disposition, was a
favorite among all. The remains of
the child were laid to rest in Oak
land cemetery at an early hour Mon
day morning. Those who have passed
through a similar sorrow can in q
measure realize the grief that has
been visited upon the Reisner home.

Ice, the Delaware county boys have not
had neaual opportunity with the

when the essays must be on file. Get
busy, boys, write an essay on "Why

period Of the fair.
Farm boys between the ages of Is

history of the Boys State Fair Camp
has Delaware county failed to send

of this opportunity. The contest in
other counties closed April first and
all will send a representative. For
further information write Supt. Walk
