TOBACCO WAREHOUSE LEASED,
MIR. John w. Moore, Of Durham, NJ.
C., Will Manage Warehouse Next
Season.

Mr.. John w. Moore, of Durham, N.
c., has leased the warehouse of the
Farmers Tobacco Warehouse Co., OF
Sumter. for the 1918 selling season.
Mr. Moore is one Of the largest. tobac-
co dealers in North Carolina. and Il
reputed to run the largest warehouse
i'm Durham. He was the lessee and
manager of the tobacco warehouse at
Lamar. in Darlington county this sea-
son, and made a great success of that
market. He js highly recommended
to the local tobacco warehouse own
ers.
One feature of the lease of the
Sumter warehouse for 1918 selling
season attracted the attention of the
directors of the local warehouse
company. That was the unusual num-
Der of applicants and the big increase
in the amounts offered for the Sumter
warehouse for 1918 selling season
over any previous year. Competition
for the Sumter warehouse was keen
with more than three times the num-
Der of applicants ever before. 1t
seems that the bidders appreciate the
fact or believe that tobacco is going
to bring very high prices during the
next two years. Consequently there
is clamor to rent warehouses and
consequent gratifying increase in the
amounts bid, the Sumter warehouse
receiving an increase of one hundred
percent for the 1918 season over this
year. and about 80 per cent. increase
over any previous year.
Farmeres will doubtless be able to
profit by the information because
warehousemen are paid by the num-
ber Of pounds sold and the amounts
received by the sellers. Believing In
high prices next year there are many
who are very anxious to become ware
house lessees because nigh prices
mean increased revenues for ware-
housemen.
Mr.. Moore will shortly visit Sumter
to arrange with the Sumter Chamber
of Commerce for free distribution Of
tobacco seed to the farmers and to
otherwise assist those who are going
to plant tobacco next year.

PRESIDENT APPEALS TO COUN
TRY TO PROMOTE CONSER.
VATlON MOVEMENT.
Every Home and Public Eating Place
i'm America Urged to Assist in Fur
nishing Nccessaries of Life to Eu-
rOpean Nations I'm Struggle for Lib
crty.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-President
Wilson. in a statement issued today,
urged every home and public eating
place In the United States to pledge
it's support to the food administra-
ton and to comply with it's request
His appeal marked the inauguration
of family enrolment week, during
which everybody in the country will
be asked to become a member of the
food administration in order to as
sure nation wide cooperation in food
conservation.
The president said that in no other
way than through this cooperation of
the people can the nation accomplish
it's object in the war. The state
ment follows:
1.-THE chief part of the burden of
finding food supplies for the peoples
associated with us in war falls for
the present upon the American peo-
pie and the drain upon supplies on
such a scale necessarily affects the
prices of our necessaries of life.
Our country. however. is blessed
with an abundance of foodstuffs and
II our people will economize in their
use OF foods providently confining
themselves to the quantities required
for the maintenance Of health and
strength; If they will eliminate waste;
and If they will make use of those
commodities of which we have a sur
plus and thus free for export q larger
proportion of those required by the
world now dependent upon us, we
shall not only be able to accomplish
our, obligations to them but we shall
obtain and establish reasonable prices
at home. To provide an adequate
supply Of food both for our own SOL
diers on the other side of the seas
and for the allies is one of our
first and foremost obligations; for If
we are to maintain their cOnstancy
In this struggle for the independence
of all nations we must first maintain
their health and strength. The solu-
ton Of our food problems therefore,
is dependent upon the individual SER
vice Of every man, woman and child
in the United States. The great vol
untary effort in this direction which
has been initiated and organized by
the food administration under my di-
rection offers an opportunity of SER
vice in the war which is open to every
individual and by which every indi-
vldual may serve both his own people
and the peoples of the world.
I'VE can not accomplish our objects
in this great war without sacrifice and
devotion and In no direction can that
sacrifice and devotion be shown more
than by each home and public eating
place in the country pledging its sup
port to the food administration and
complying with it's requests.

Are Our soldiers and Sailors overred.

Are Our Soldiers and Sailors Overfed? ?
That our soldiers and sailors are
getting too much to eat. especially
too much lean meat, Is the contention
OF DIR. Harvey w. Wiley. food expert.
and associate editor OF Good House.
Keeping. He voices his opinions I'm
the current issue as follows:
Il am fully convinced that our sol
diers and sailors would be better Off
N one-third of the food issued TO
them were cut off. The overfed SOL
der will not endure so much fatigue,
march SO far. carry such heavy bu..-
dens. or react so well under wounds
and surgical operations as the one
that In fed on n normal am cunt af
food. I believe. OF course, very
strongly that IL any error is commit
ted In regard To the quantity OF food
u should be on the side OF excess
rather than insuificiency but there Is
no need of going TO either extreme.
Fortunately. the soldier and sailor are
not required to eat all their ration.
They are allowed a money compensa-
ton for the part OF the ration that
they do not draw. This happily leads
not only to thrift and economy. but
also To better health. If the soldier
does not like any particular part OF
his ration. he can in favorable cir
cumstances take It's money value and
purchase what he does like. FOl
these reasons we need not have an,
great fear that the soldier and sail
or are likely to be injured by over
eating.
