Our most dangerous foe in the
present great world was is the men
who persuades himself that the
Kaiser will soon be whipped or
driven back into his own national
boundaries. The next is the man who
don't believe in fighting" A third
is not particularly foe but a con-
temptible something you cannot name
without apology to the ghoul-the
man of that low and mercenary ma
ture that would make profit of this
awful tragedy of human woe and
carnage of death. That we have these
particular types may not be the cause
of such fearful upheavals, but the
less we have of them, the easier they
are to suppress. The wrong is often
strong only in proportion to the UNI
belief, moral cowardice and mercen-
airy nature of the non-resisting or
those who have no part.-Cumber-
land Presbyterian Banner.
Rightly stated-but then we have
other dangerous foes in the guise of
so-called patriots who chirp to the
cry, you must not criticise the Gov
eminent, because that is disloyal."
Such people are more interested in
party than in country; more inter-
ested in saving the reputation Of
some incompetent official than in
saving the lives of soldiers; more in
terested in suppressing the truth
for fear somebody will be hurt polit-
ically, than in saving the nation.
This country needs to know the
truth. We are not nation of ba-
bies, fearing to face facts, but many
people appear to think So 1t is only
by Overturing the log and letting in
the sunlight-that the wormeaten,
barren land gives forth fresh and
vigorous life to vegetation LET in

auired to furnish personal informa-
ton much more varied and extern
sive than that obtained from regis

ton card prepared by the provost
marshal general shows. It will carry
twenty separate questions.
A number of the questions deal
with citizenship, and the registration
card will fully define nativity of each
man, the information presumably as
sisting in applying the military SER
vice regulations of Allied nations to
their nationals.
Each occupation, status and place
of employment, and names of en-

new draft registrants under the pend
ing man power bin into three gener-
al classes, including those between 1s

fciany today, is not intended to be
used for the deferme1lt OF calling any
one of these classes into service.
The purpose of this separation, it
was stated, is to facilitate clasifica-
ton and make men. quickly available
to meet draft calls. The only defer
mont contemplated by the war de-
partment is that of the 1919 year
men. whose summons to the colors
will be postponed as long as 1T is
possible to carry out the educational
program now being arranged.
Recruits Immediately necessary to
organize additional units will be
drawn from men in class one between
ages of 10 and As until this reservoir
has been exhausted, but it is foreseen
that these men may be used up in
some local districts before they are
in others. In such localities, those
between 1S and 1s Will be summoned
at once.

Save vegetable Seed.

Clemson College, Aug. 29.-''Save
food-Help Win the War" is the slo-
gan of the day. Save seed-for the
production of next years food crop!
The vegetable garden is acting
leading part in enabling the conser-
vation of food stuffs. While the seed
reports show that the production will
be about normal this year, they also
state that large orders for vegetable
seeds have been placed by foreign
concerns for export to European
countries, which formerly have been
exporters Of vegetable seed to the
United States. AS result Of this,
the supply will not be great enough
to meet the demand. Prices will be
high, and the high prices and short
age of supply will bring many infer
ior seed on the market. To over
come this difficulty it is therefore
very necessary that every gardener
do his part and save seed for his
next wears planting.
The essentials involved in seed
saving are briefly: Selection of in
d:vidual plants, drying the seed
thoroughly, fumigating with carbon
bisulphide to destroy insects, label
ing correctly, and storing.
The individual plants selected Tor
seed production should be vigorous
free from disease. ana prolific bear
ers of uniformly large specimens.
Don't select shy-bearing plants be-
cause the individual specimens there
on are large. If YOU do, YOU Will
probably get poor results.

TOO LATE FOR COTTON.
Temperatures Average Somewhat Be-
low Normal in Extreme Eastern
Portion Of Belt.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-The long
drought in the western portions of
The cotton belt was relieved in many
localities by good rains during the
week, but they came too late to be OF
material benefit to the cotton crop. :
the national weather and crop bulle-
tin for the week ending last night,
announced today. The week was
practically ralnless in much of the
eastern portion of the belt and lack
of moisture is unfavorably affecting
the development Of the crop in many
places Of this area.
Local heavy rains fell in eastern
North Carolina, which did some am
age TO cotton The temperature av-
eraged somewhat below normal in the
extreme eastern portion of the belt
and 1t was considerably warmer than
usual in northern Texas and Okla
homa. Elsewhere the temperature
averaged about normal.
''The outlook is generally unfavor-
able IN Georgia, where the bolls con-
tinued to open prematurely and much
damage has been done by rust, spider
and weexlls; the prospect of top
crop is poor. Rust and spider activ-
ity continue in Alabama and Mississi7
ppi. The soil is very dry in northern
Alabama but the showers in Missis-
sippi caused some improvement by
checking premature opening.
. ''The week was rather unfavorable
in Louisiana, where frequent rains
interrupted picking and lowered the
grade; considerable shedding is re-
ported in that State.
"The severe drought was relieved
on much of Texas and Oklahoma, but
the rains came too late to be Of ma
terial benefit in many localities, and
it caused much shedding in Okla
hon1a. Wherever the plants still pos
sess sufficient vitality in these States,
however the moisture gives some
prospect of a: top crop. Picking is
progressing rapidly in Texas, but the
yield is poor and most of the crop is
being gathered at the first picking.
