CD. DURING YEAR
TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND BUSH
ELS PRODUCED IN SUMTER
COUNTY LAST SEASON NOT
ENOUGH TO FEED PEOPLE
HERE, AND GOVERNMENT IN.
SISTS THAT CROP BE INCREAS.
. ED TWENTY PER CENT.

Sumter county produced approx
mately $4,000 bushels of wheat the
past season and now the Government
under even more pressing needs for
wheat with which to feed our SOL
diers and our associates, asks that
Sumter county farmers increase the
Weld for next spring 20 per cent or
one fifth more.
The shortage of labor should en-
courage the production of wheat
since it is d crop that can be pro-
duced with considerable less labor
than the ordinary cultivated crops
Farmers should not wait too late to
make plans for planting wheat. No
yember seems to be the preferred
month for planting and the land
should not be turned Immediately be-
fore planting, but sufficient length
of time before hand to allow it to
settle, thereby making firm seed
bed
The land should be plowed as
early as possible and then narrowed
until a good seed bed is secured.
Stubble land is ordinarily used for
wheat, but cotton land may be used
to more advantage this year than
ever, since the latest cotton will be
open earlier than in previous years,
and the stalks should be destroyed as
early as possible in order to destroy
the weevil.
The blue stem variety is very likely
the safest for this section, Farmers
should not fail to treat seed with
formaldhyde before planting thus
avoiding loss from smut or hunt

FUTURE army PLANS
NOT YET DETERMINED
GENERAL STAFF NOW WORK OUT
REORGANIZATION POLICY,
MARCH SAYS.

Speculation as to the plans of the
government respecting it's big army
continues rife and General March,
chief of staff, is deferring all inquir-
les as to the reorganization of the
regular army until the bill which the
general staff is preparing has been
approved and laid before congress.
He points out, however. that there
are only 10000 men now in the army
bound by the pre-war seven-year en-
listment. These, he says, will be held
to their enlistment contracts, while
the 100000 men who volunteered for
the duration of the war will be re-
leased except where they re-enlist.
Plans of the war department, Sec
retary Baker says. call for the reduc-
ton of the American expeditiOnary
forces to a point where they will con-
stitute approximately 80 divisions, or
about half the present strength. Fur
ther reductions will be made beyond
that point If it is found that the sit
uatiOn warrants.

PHONE RATES HELD
UP FOR HEARING
BACKS UP AND COM.
MISSION WILL HEAR PRO.
TESTS DECEMBER 20.

Because widespread protests have
been registered against the proposed
increase in telephone rates in this
state, Il have decided that the new
rates be not collected for the present
until your commission shall have an
opportunity of Investigating and
hearing all protests thereon" Post
master-General Burleson notified the
state public service commission in a
telegram Wednesday. The commits
sion announced the hearings will
start December 26.
Il would accordingly ask that you
make a complete investigation there
Of under your regular procedure at
as early a date as convenient" the
telegram cotinues, latter which such
rates as the conditions may warrant
may be put into effect"
The commission, however, first
took the view that Burleson is retain
ing complete control of rates, that it
feared it's jurisdiction would be ques-
toned if hearings were held, and
that it had no power to suspend the
new rates, which were to go into
effect November Is.
The commission dispatched a long
telegram to Burleson, setting forth
it's position, and his answer told them
to proceed in their regular manner.

Northwest Division With Belgium's
Ruler When He Entered Brussels.

American soldiers-some of the

procession of troops which entered
Brussels with King Albert One bat
talon of fine-loking fellows from the
91st division was followed by a bat
terry of artillery from the 53rd brig

No finer troops marched through
Brussels today than the Yankees, and
none, except perhaps the Belgians,
were given heartier reception. These
boys are fresh from the battle fields,
for they are the troops which fought
so brilliantly in the drive for Aude-
narde, just before the arcistice was
signed.

Throughout the United States
Saturday, December Z, has been set
aside as Britain day. 1t is eminently
proper that we should not forget our
allies who so valiantly fought for
more than four years to bring about
the result which now seems to be
here. The part Great Britain has
played in this important war has been
en- important one.
II. therefore, urge all of the peo-
pie of the state of Washington to join

the war on Saturday, December e."

SLOAN PLANT HIT WHEN Gov
ERNMENT CURTAILS WOODEN
SHIP PROGRAM.

Work on vessel partially framed
has been stopped and some 100 men
have been laid off at the Sloan ship
yard on instructions from the fed
eral shipping board and reports
among the crew are to the effect that
further reductions are to be made. -
the result of the shipping boards de-
cision to curtail the government
wooden shipbuilding program.
In further carrying out its plan of
crrtailment, the Emergency Fleet
Corporation has cancelled approx
nately rs contract for wooden car
rlers in yards in the Puget Sound and
Aberdeen districts, upon which work
had not been begun, while similar
cancellations were made in the Ore
gon and California yards.
However, In completing the boats
1t now has on the ways and those
that are to be brought here from Ana
cortes, the local plant has government
work in hand to carry it practically
year. Seven boats are on the ways
here. besides the one on which work
was stopped.
AS far as the other Sound yards
are concerned, 1t appears to be the
plan of the government officials 70
permit the yards to accept contracts
from private American interests, the
Fleet Corporation retaining control
of the situation by requiring that
such contracts shall be accepted
subject to its approval.
So far the yards that hitherto have
been engaged in government work
have not received permission to &C
cept contracts from foreign interests,
but most Of them will be busy now
anyho& sfUr sSveyAi months next year
completing the contracts upon which
they are now working.
Only one, Pacific coast yard closeo
as the result of the boards cancella-
ton orders, this being q small plant
at Portland employing some 200
men. Dispatches from the national
capital state that the Fleet Corpora
tion is about to make a clean sweep
of its wooden ship contracts on the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts, cancellinE
all contracts in those districts.
The small number of cancellations
in this state is regarded as fulfill
ment of government assurances that
the wooden shipbuilding program
will not be brought to an abrupt halt
in the districts that have made good
in efficiency and speed of deliveries.
Washington and Oregon yards have
made records that place them In q
class entirely different from that in
which the Eastern yards stand.

M'AD00'S SUCCESSOR
NOT YET APPOINTED
EARUCH SPOKEN OF FOR TREAS.
URY-PROUTY FOR RAIL-
ROAD CHIEF.

National capital dispatches report
that Bernard NJ. Baruch, chairman OF
the war industries board, has been
offered the post of secretary of the
treasury by President Wilson, to sue
ceed William G. McAdoo, whose res
ignation was announced Sunday.
Baruch, it is reported, while not
turning down the offer, is said to
have suggested that his ownership of
a large amount of government and
other securities might prove embar-
assing II he should enter the cabinet.
Charles A. Prouty, now director Of
the railroad administrations division
of public service and accounts, is be-
leved to be under consideration to
succeed McAdoo as director general
of the railroads under government op-
GRAFTON.
President Wilson himself has
given no indication of his intentions
with reference to the appointments,
which are considered unusually i'm
portant at this time.
Although Secretary McAdoo had
rendered his resignation to the pres
ident on November IA, no word of
his contemplated action had been
allowed to leak out until he an
nounced it in person last Saturday.
Even his colleagues in the cabinet
were ignorant of his intentions.
Expressions of regret came from
all quarters and. were very sincere.
1t was frankly admitted, even by the
men who were not of his own pOlit'
ical faith, that the forced retirement
of the treasury head because he could
not meet his financial obligations on
the salary of his post, was very real
loss to the nation at this time.
McAdoo receives $4,000 a year as
secretary of the treasury. the uniform
salary of cabinet members, and moth
ing as director-general of the rail-
roads.
Secretary McAdoo is the fourth
member of the cabinet to resign.
William Jennings Bryan, the presi-
dents secretary of state at the be-
ginning of his administration, was
the first. and Lindley NJ. Garrison,
secretary of war. was the second.
James C. Reynolds, attorney general,
resigned to take an appointment to
the supreme court Aside from those
three changes. the presidents cabi-
net stands the same as it did six
years ago.
McAdoo's department had charge
Of the collection OF four billions in
taxes last year and the raising Of
nearly eighteen billions in Liberty
Bonds and War Savings Stamps with
in the last 19 months. About eight
billions in loans to the Allies have
been distributed at his discretion
since the United States entered the
war He also was the directing spirit
Of the capital issues committee, the
war finance corporation and other
wartime treasury agencies.
McAdoo was married May Z, 1914.
