since, DR.. Knapp's Ten Command.

The countless appeals that have been
made to our people. and then cpl

America asks of the farmer in this
crisis-''The Ten Commandments
Of Wartime Agriculture" let US
call them. We believe the ten
things mentioned below Indicate as
briefly as it is possible to do the
main things which America asks of
the Southern farmer:
l. That he plant maximum
acreage in food crops.
3. That he strive for maximum
productiveness of every acre.
3. That he equip ard inspire
every farm worker for maximum
efficiency.
4. That he arrange for a maxi
mum production of meat and dairy
products.
5. That he double garden pro-
duction.
&. That all women and children
be enlisted in canning and poultry
raising.
I. That every member of the
family aid food conservation.
s. That wise and profitable
marketing of crops be promoted as
a stimulus TO increase production.
8. That economy and thrift be
practiced and the resultant savings
lent to America.
10. That all schools, all farm
ers' organizations, all women's Or
carnations, and all business mems
organizations cooperate TO give 100
per cent efficiency 10 this pro-
gram. The Progressive Farmer.

HEED THE WARNING.
Many Edgeheld People Have Done
So.

When the kidneys are weak they
give unmistakable warnings that
should not be ignored. BY eXamin-
ing the urine and treating the kid
neys upon the first sign of disorder,
many days of suffering may be saw
ed. Weak kidneys usually eXpel
dark, il-smelling urine, full of
brickdust" sediment and painful in
passage. Sluggish kidneys often
cause a dull pain in the small of the
back, headaches, dizzy spells, tired,
languid feelings and frequent
rheumatic twinges.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the
kidneys only. There is no better
recommended remedy.
Edgefeld people endorse Doan's
Kidney Pills.
S. J. Arthur, Battle St., Edge.
field, says: Il had a tired feeling in
my back about twelve years ago.
The kidneys bothered me lot and
i had to get up nights to pass the
secretions. Doan's Kidney Pills
made my back feel strong and we'll
and / felt better in every way. Two
boxes Of Doan's relieved the trouble

To the Farmers
of Edgefield
County

We are ,obson System dealers
for this county, and as such are ac-
lively engaged in bringing the COM
mon sense methods of easier and
more profitable farming to every
nook and corner of our section.
These methods and the remarka-
bic .Jobson plow have received the
endorsement of great Agriculture
lists, State officials and practical
farmers all over the country, and
these benefits are being extended to
all parts Of the country at rate
that certainly proves its merit and
genuine, practical advantage. No
farmer can afford to overlook the
opportunity of thorough investi-
CATION of this system before going
further with his spring work.
The .Jobson plow has no equal in
preparing the land (late or early,
wet or dry before planting, and it
is also of extraordinary value in
working crops and in getting ready
for second crops. In fact, it Is
something the farmer needs every
month in the year. A little investi
gation demonstrates this beyond
doubt.
Call on us for literature and full
particulars. We're here to serve
you. Jobson plows now in stock.

Disloyalty Should Not be Tolerated.

The Germans~and pro-Germans in this
country should be given to understand
that disloyalty to this government, the
one which gives security to their fami-
lies and protection to their property,
will not be tolerated in word or deed.
If they are not satisfied to be an Amer
lean and live among Americans, they
should go back to Germany. This is
no time for disloyalty on the part of
anyone. Our young men are being
sent abroad to fight for liberty and the
rights of humanity, and nobody, we
make no exceptions, should be allowed
to sow seeds OF discord and disloyalty,
making it necessary, in the end, that
greater number Of our boys be sent
abroad to be slain by those heartless
Huns.

The Best Way to Sell That Farm.
You want to sell your farm? Let
me tell you how to 90 at it.

You want to sell your farm? Let
me tell you how to 90 at it,
First, go ont in the road and i'm
agine you are wanting to purchase
this particular farm; look at it with
the buyers eye. See how the bushes
have grown up in the fence corners;
how dingy the house looks: how
badly it needs repainting. Notice
how bare the pasture looks, and see
how the hills are washed.
The orchard needs trimming bad
ly; and that line of fence surely is
in bad shape. The hen-house roof
is looking bad, too; in fact the
whole farm is run down.
OF course those bushes will have
to be grubhed; the house painted !;
that pasture will have to be reseed-
ed and those washes filled: the or
chard must be trimmed; the fence
mended, and the roof fixed. No
one would want such u looking
farm.
And by the time al! this IS done
you need rest. Go ont in the
road and take another look at the
farm; and no doubt you'll want to
keep it yourself. it will look so good
to you.-Mrs. II. A. c., in The
Progressive Farmer.

Contracts Restored.

Director General McAdoo has issued
an order restoring advertising contracts
between railroads and newspapers which
he annuled soon after he took over the
management Of the railroads. No new
contracts can be made but those already
in existence at the time the order was
issued by Mr.. McAdoo will be carried
out. 1t is clearly stated that no con-
tracts shall extend beyond the present
calendar year, but it is hoped that by
the close of the year some definite ac-
tion by congress will be taken that
will provide for the future.

Interesting Letter From Edge.
field Young Man in Naval
Service.

arrived here the 10th Of March.
This is not regular training camp,
only a detention camp. That is the
fellows who enlist are sent here for
period of 81 days, and are not
allowed liberty Of any kind in three
weeks, provided no epidemic of
any kind breaks out, If an epidemic
of any kind breaks out in compa-
ny they are sent out from the camp
TO place called Piney Grove and
are in strict quarantine for period
of from two to months. | am
lucky enough to be in a company
that hasn't been quarantined so far.
There were several companies quar-
antined right around US. J. think
life in the navy is much better than
the army, as we don't have so much
drilling to do. Of course, we have
some duties but none to amount to
anything. The camp is about SIX
miles from Charleston and is in a
cluster of long leaf pines. Every
thing is kept mighty nice and clean
and we have to live right in every
respect of the word. All sorts OF
entertainments are provided for the
boys in blue, also religious services.
There are men here from all
walks of life and the strange part
of it to me is most of the men are
from the north and northwest. |
guess there are about 5000 men
here and l only know of about
seven boys from South Carolina.
Two of them are Maurice and J. F.
White, formerly of Edge6eld couD-
ty, now Mccormick county, and |
assure you it is quite pleasure to
know that two home boys are here
and l go around to their sections
pretty often and likewise they come
to see me. The fare here is of the
best and no one can complain of
their rations, as we have no two
meals alike. The only thing l don't
like is that we don't get any sugar
hardly in our coffee and tea, but |
am getting accustomed to it now
and can relish it o. K. All of the
fellows here know mess call and as
soon as it is sounded there is mad
rush for their places in time.
We get up at 5:45 in the morn
ing then have exercises for about
Is minutes and / understand the ex-
ercises are very beneficial, if fol-
lowed out right. To sum the whole
thing up l think every fellow that
can ought TO enlist i'll the navy and
do his bit. i miss The Advertiser
and as soon as | am stationed | will
subscribe for it. Would be glad to
hear from you or any one else from
home that desires to write to me.

Mid-Winter Novelties in the Shops

NHE SHOPS literally full Of under
wear made of washable satin and
crepe de chine. Your conscience need
not trouble you in buying this dainty; for.
luxurious as it may seem, it is really using
nothing that. might otherwise go to the
trenches There are good many nghtgowns
made Of light blue crepe de chine. One thing
decidedly in their favor is that thew arc
usually simply made, without frills or ruff1es
and depend rather on cut and hand embroid-
cry than on trimming for their charm. One
gown cut kmono fashion with half-lenoth
sleeves shows scalloped neck and sleeve edpes
and deep simulated yoke, front and bac,
made of eyelet embroidery worked in blue.
Perhaps you have been bit worried when
you have read that before long we NAV ne
asked to refrain from buying woollen coats
and 1rocks Tor winter Don't worry. One
OF the things promised for spring is a very
heavy double faced satin It is to be used
largely tor coats and is made up in such COM
hlnatlons as dark green and drab, claret and
Black and blue and black. 1t makes one quite
resigned to the fact that wool is scarce and
that 1t is a patriotic thing as soon as tho
weather mcderates to forego its use as much
us possible.

consist of trousers and jacket, slippers and

is made Of purple satin embroidered in rose,
blue and green. With the Chinese love for
depicting personages, pagodas, nlandarins,
birds and roofs, all arranged in such a way
that they most delightfully."- suggest scenery,
these boudoir costumes are richly embroidered
Pe1haps the coal shortage will not make "
necessary for US this winter to forego loung'

We had just got used to and fond Of WOO
chiffon when awol.e to the fact that there
was a real scarcity Of wool. and that to %
our patriotic bit we must as much as we coulc

purposes. Some Of the new georgette creps
blouses are setting the pace that may soon %
followed by many Others. For they are en-.
broldered in nlercerZed cotton. The result y

combined.
In spite Of the fact that every now and then
