A Challenge.

The State of Mississippi has chal-
lenged South Carolina. Mississippi
has overpledged its years quota in
the War Savings campaign. Other
states have oversubscribed their quo
tas, but Mississippi is the only other
state in the country that has a col
ored population larger than its white
population as the Palmetto state. A
report reaching the South Carolina
War Savings committee shows that
with a quota of s36,2SO,9OO, Miss
issippi pledged s36,475,3 BIT; where
as, South Carolina, with a years
quota of s33,OOO,O 600, pledged only
SIS, OOo, 600.
Missssippi's sensational achieve
ment strikingly refutes the claims of
those who state that South Carolina
could eve invest s33,00O,O0 in
w. S. S. in one year. This state is full
ly as prosperous as Mississippi, and
its people are certainly as patriotic
as those of the sister Southern state.
The difference is that the people OF
Mississippi are convinced of the Sc
rious Importance of the war savings
movement. That is proven by the
fact that fully IS per cent Of the
population of Mississippi pledged
themselves to purchase w. S. S. Had
the same proportion of people n
this state pledged themselves, the
Palmetto States showing would have
been fully as good, is the view held
here.
1t is not too late for South Caro-
lima to equal Mississippi's record,
which is a matter of pledges. If The
people of the state who signed pledg-
es during the June W. S. S. CAM
paign will faithfully make their
pledges good, and buy even more
W. S. S. than they pledged; and Il
those who did not pledge themselves
will buy freely, the Palmetto state
NAV equal Or exceed Mississippi's fl
nal showing-but for the present
Mississippi's feat stands as a chal-
lenge to South Carolina.-Greenville
Piedmont.

To The Edge6eld Advertiser:
Dear Old Friend: On my return

on this side the river, l found an
invitation from Mrs. Minis to w.
NJ. U. meeting of the Edgefeld As
ISOLATION the 29th inst. l wish |
could attend, but will not be able
10 do so for lack of time. With an
eye to economy, l have endeavored

out asking in help. Gave each
church 5 days. There were more
than 80 members added. We will
not prot1act at the Grove church on
account of the Association to meet
there this year. At the Modoc

ing, but have not heard as to re-
suits.

I've" !
States will share with the allies their
sacrifice of food as well as blood in
the cause of world democracy, de-
clared Federal Food Administrator
Hoover on his arrival today en- route
to Washington, after a visit to Eng
land and France.
After asserting that we have "to
make good" a pledge to this effect
which he had given to the allied food
administrators while sitting cat a
common table in a common cause"
Mr.. Hoover said, to do so, America
will next year have to supply the al
lies four billion pounds of fats, $780,
100000 pounds of beef products,
500, 600 1000 of cereals and 10000
tons of sugar. However Mr.. Hoover
added, beginning September 1, there
will be no need for drastic food ra-
tioning in the allied countries, except
in the case of sugar and beef.
In a statement dealing with his OBJ
~servations abroad Mr.. Hoover said
in part:
"The harvests in France, England
and Italy are better than n could
expect in the tremendous drain of
manpower to the front. This is due
to the women. There is no sight in
the world that would appeal to the
American heart as that of the literal
ly millions of women doing all the
working of getting in the harvests
while their men are at work in the
shops and driving back the Germans.
Of the food stuffs which America
must export Mr.. Hoover said:
"After shipping is set aside for the
transport of the American army and
for military purposes of the allies. a
definite amount of tonnage rs m@ae
available, for the transport of the
program of food for civilian con-
sumption. The purpose of u Euro
pean food conference has been to de-
termine the amount of food upon
which health and morale a be MAIN
tanned and to determine the nearest
possible sources of supply to the
allies of this food.
Upon North America falls the
burden of food supply. While Cana
da can export 100, 900 900 bushels
of grain this year, the major part Of
the allied program for next year
falls upon us.
"We have also to feed our own
enormous army. We a do it if
we simply have the will to live with
every economy and waste nothing.
"By the great effort of our farmers
the United States harvests are better
this yea but in order that we may
build up a surplus of wheat this year
as against possible crop failures such
as we had last year, we have decldeo
to mix 20 per cent of other grains
with wheat flour in all the countries
fighting Germany. We cannot ask for
better bread than France, and we
propose the American people should
maintain a common standard of
bread with them.
"Under these arrangements, how
ever, the bread situation in the Unit
ed States will be much easier than
last year, and in allied countries
there will be an enormous improve
ment. Bread shipments to the allies
comprises so per cent of their food
intake. By supplying them with
bread, and in such amounts that will
not necessitate rationing on their
side, we can rest assured that their
courage and strength in the war will
remain high during next winter.
cit will be a bad winter in Europe,

NOTHING MATTERS
BUT TO MAKE GOOD

Chicago, Nov. st was raised
near a boiler factory, and can
sleep under the shadows of a boom
ing gun" writes John Salmon, a
knights of Columbus Everybody
Welcome" camp secretary at the
fighting front
Il have heard softer music, and
maybe sweeter music, but never
more compelling music than the
boom of the big boys, the rattle of
the machine guns, and the obligato
of the Fritz shells as they burst
around US. One advantage of go
ing to sleep under shell fire, is that
you don't have to worry about wax
ing up. Maybe you won't, and then
it doesn't matter. Nothing matters
over here, but to make good"
John is the type of man that the
Knights of Columbus, one of the or
CARNATIONS of the united war work
campaign want for their overseas
service and which they are sending
out Of Illinois rapidly.

LASSIES COME FOR

lister, has been in France for the
past seven months making life bit
more comfortable and happier for

have just landed in New York. Clad
in steel helmets and full battle ar
ray, including kettles and doughnut
ladies', the two girls created a sen.
sation as they stepped on the dock.
They would not be here now if it
were not for the united war work
drive because of which they were
called home to tell American peo-
pie just how much the boys apDre-
ciate the things SIZE, 100000 will
buy for them.
These two girls will be in Illinois
next week and plead with audiences
in all of the larger cities to come
through for the boys at the front.

EXPERIMENTING ON
POISON FOR MOTHS

Experiments by the bureau of en-
tomology, United States department
OF agriculture, have demonstrated
that naphthalene is uniformly eff
fective in protecting woolens from
ciothes-moth infestation and in kill
ing all stages of the insect.
A red-cedar chest really killed
all adult moths and showed con-
siderable killing effect upon young
larvae. 1t did not prevent the hatch
ing Of eggs. but killed all of the re-
sulting larvae almost Immediately.
Red-cedar chips and shayings,
while not entirely effective in keep
ing the adult moths from laying
eggs on the flannel treated, appear
ed to protect it from appreciable
damage when used literally.
Varying results were obtained
from. experiments with other ex-
terminators of moths. The expert
ments are described in Bulletin 707.

FIRST OF week
DF. c. T. Foster States He VIII Rec
onnend Removal OF Ban Mon
day at Meeting in Moline.
EPIDEMIC Is ON DECLINE
Expected Increase Due To Peace
Celebration in Main Fails TO
Develop.

An seems in readiness for the
lifting OF the influenza closing or
der in this city Monday morning.
Or. c. T. Foster. Rock Island city
health commissioner, states that he
viii recommend that this action be
taken at 4 meeting to be held to-
morrow morning st 9 at the Offices
OF DR.. W. 7. Hinman in Moline.
The expected large increase in
influenza cases as a result of the
celebrators marching in the rain
Thursday night, failed 70 develop.
But 1e new cases, no cases of pneu-
monia, and but one death from
pneumonia were reported yester-
day Total cases reported since the
beginning of the epidemic in this
city now number 1,464 Total
that he now believes that a num-
Der of deaths have been accredited
TO Rock Island that were Moline
cases. This mistake is due. it is
said, to Moline persons being treat
ed at Rock Island hospitals and
when death occurred, Rock Island
undertakes were called.
DR.. Foster states that he wishes
TO correct the mistatement made in
q newspaper last night where the
statement was given out that stores
are not allowed to keep open to
$50 on week day evenings and 1880
on Saturday evenings. This is in
correct and stores are allowed to
keep open longer than under the
original order. Dr.. Foster also
states that he did not censure Rock
Island city officials for allowing the
celebration Thursday night on
grounds of danger of influenza in
lection.
VIII Affect All Houses.
He says that there might yet de-
velop many cases from the expos
ure OF those marching Thursday
night, but that unless this develop
ment proves absolutely serious,
there IS no reason why the ban
should not be lifted Monday.
! The health commissioner is in
favor of q complete opening includ-
ing all business and other establish
ments, but that the same precau-
tons should be taken by the public
in stunning persons believed TO be
infected with the influenza germ.
