dian warriors in colonial days lived ON
parched corn alone for many days at
time, and at Valley Forge pArcheu

tle Continental soldiers.
Owing to transportation difficulties
raused by the war the corn crop moved
more slowly to market this year than
ever before. Now, however, the cereal
is reaching the millers and consumers
In the meantime the nations surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe.
Today there are approximately 30
bushels of corn for every American.
This quantity is greater by 1ve BUSH
els than In former years.
Corn has become the nati06's unla-

MARKET FOR FORAGE.
Government Will Buy From Farmers
for Army Camps.

Columbia Aug. August Kohn,
chairman of conservation and produc-
ton Of the Food Administration for
South Carolina, has received letter
from the Chief of the Forage Branch
of the War Department, Quartermas-
ter's Division, stating that offers o1
forage from farmers and dealers hav-
ing it for sale in the neighborhood ol
the army camps and environments
will be gladly received and will be
given consideration.
I'm fact" says the letter, I'VE are
here to buy forage for the govern
ment wherever we can do so to the
best advantage; all things considered
1t is advised that when contrac'
tors or farmers are submitting theil
proposals on forage they should state
the kind and grade of forage the!
have to sell, the quantity and its To-
cation, the time they can make ship
ment and the price. # prices are
satisfactory, purchases will be made
it is assured.
All proposals should be addressed
to Chief of the Forage Branch, Office
of the Quartermaster General, United
States Army, Lytton Building, Chi
cago, III.
Mr.. Kohn has been working fo
some time past to secure this assur
ance from the government, as it ha
been felt that farmers in this and 9th
er States who have forage to sci
should be given consideration, espe
cially when it is considered that th'
camps and cantonments offer the ma
tural market, and the saving in freigh
to the government would be a facto
not to be disregarded.

CITY OF HISTORIC INTEREST.
Soissons For Which Allies and Huns
Are Now Fighting Desperately.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The Nation
al Geographic Society issues the 1ol-
lowing war geography bulletin on
Scissors:
The strategic importance of Sols-
sons. a city of $4,000 inhabitants at
the time of the outbreak of the world
war, is due chiefly to the fact that IL
is a great railroad center. 1t IS SIT
uated on the left bari, of the Alsne.
25 miles east of Compiegue and 80
miles west Of Rheims. On the Paris
Laon railroad it is 65 miles northeast
of the capital, and % miles southwest
of Laon.
Before the war, scissors was an
important center for the grain trace
Of northern France, and was especlaE
ly noted for its haricot peans 1ts
most fourishing industries were iron
and copper foundries, boiler and ag-
ricultural implement factories, straw
hat and glass works.
'Soissons is one of the oldest cities
in France. Before the advent OF the
Romans, it was the chief city OF the
Suessiones, who held 12 towns Of Cal
liza Belgica. Divitiacus, one OF their
most powerful kings, extended his
sway even beyond the sea, among the
Britons.
The city's present status as rail-
road center is an inheritance OF many
centuries, for in ancient times, 1t was
starting point of military roads 10
Rheims, Chateau -Thierry, Meaux,
Paris Aniens and ST. Quentin. 1t
was at scissors that Clovis, King OF
| the Salian Franks, defeated the Ro-
man general, Syagrius and it was mere
| that he married the Christian pr1n-
cess Clotilda. Three years after the
| marriage the king and three thousand
Franks were baptized.
"a short distance down the Aisne,
on the opposite bank, are the RUNS
| of the famous Abbey of st. Medard,
where Pepin The Short was crowned
| by st. Boniface, the papal legate. 1t
| was in this abbey, also, that the ia
NOUS Abelard of Abelard and Heloise
memory, is said to have been lmprls-
cned. In this vicinity, too, Thomas
a-Becket, the fighting English prelate
of Henry lis time, lived during his
long sojourn in France. Louis the
Debonair, one of the most unhappy
of French Kings, made two enforced
stays here as the captive of his un-
dutiful sons.
"No doubt, when the present war
| is over, scissors will erect a second
monument to commemorate those OF
its citizens who have fallen before
the ruthless warfare of the Huns. In
the Place de la Republique there was
erected in 1901 a memorial to the
citizens shot by the Germans in the
war of 1870"

DIED WITH ANTHRAX.
Use of Infected Shaving Brushes Re-
suits in Two Fatalities With An
other Expected.

The recent death at Camp Jackson
of two soldiers from anthrax, or
splenic fever, contracted by the use
of shaving brushes infected with
bacillus anthracis, emphasizes the
precautions which shavers should take
in guarding themselves against the
disease. Little hope is entertained for
the recovery Of a third soldier VINO
was affecced in a similar manner by
the same germ.
Anthrax is contag gious and ma
lignant febrlle disease of cattle ana
sheep, sometimes affecting man. and
is characterized by the presence OF
the germ in the blood and carbuncu-
lar swellings. Abrasions made on the
faces of the soldiers by the razors
which they were using provided an
avenue of access through which the
germs entered, causing ar immediate
swelling of the affected parts.
Cases of a similar nature occurred
at Camp Greene, Charlotte, n. c..
several months ago, and while it is
possible that the disease could have
been conveyed from the animal from
which the bristiles were taken, q med
ical journal has advanced the theory
that shaving brushes have been pols-
oned by German agents in dellber-
ate attempt to produce an epidemic
in military camps.
