HOLD COTTON SEED.

w. A. Rowell has received the fol-
lowing from W. w. Long:
To all Agents:
The following wire has been re-
ceived from Mr.. VIM. Elliott, Food
Administrator for the State:
"Please urge your agents by wire,
if possible, to urge farmers and
ginners to market seed gradually.
Sudden rush of seed to market has
over-stocked mills and many cars
now on demurrage."
You will please have this message
published in your local papers, and
give it such other publicity as you
think advisable. You might mention
the fact that if this rush of seed to
the markets continues it may result
in the lowering of the price of seed.
I would further suggest that you
write to a number of the prominent
farmers of your county, giving them
the information contained in Mr..
Elliott's telegram.
Your very truly,
W. w. Long, Director.

SERGEANT COTHRAN.

James S. Cothran, of Abbeville
has been promoted from the ranks of
a company of two hundred and fifty
men to sergeant, a very unusual pro-
motion in the army. 1t is more re-
markable for the reason that Mr..
Cothran has been in the army but
nine weeks, two weeks of which time
he was in the Headquarters depart
ment, and four weeks of the time he
was in the hospital. He had drilled
but six times.
Sergeant Cothran has been trans
ferred from Camp Wadsworth to
Camp Benz. Harrison, at Indianapo-
lis, Ind, where he has been assigned
to duty in the Quartermaster's de-
partment.
Mr.. and Mrs. W. S. Cothran and
Miss Margaret Cothran visited Ser
geant Cothran in Spartanburg last
week before his departure for his
new work.

CITY ADOPTS THE CARD SYSTEM
'Pasteboard' Must be Signed by EN-
ployer or Foreman at Proper In
tervals to Insure Freedom
of the Laborer.

The city of Abbeville, after several
of the larger cities and towns have
found it so effective, has adopted the
Labor Identification Card System.
Every citizen of this town has been
appointed a committee of one to re-
port all unemployed to the policemen,
or any official of the town who has
authority over its affairs, that they
(the unemployed) may be properly
dealt with, according to the recent
rulings of the War Labor Board.
The cards may be obtained from
the policemen or at the Office of the
city clerk. Therefore, be on the safe
side,-obtain one at the earliest pos
sible moment-and don't forget to
have your employer sign it at the
proper intervals.
The cards read as follows: "The
contractor, hereby certlfles that the
above named party was employed by
him on the date appearing opposite
his name. If the party holding this
card is employed regularly for one
or more weeks, this card to be turned
in to employer, foreman or contract
or upon termination of employment.
If employee or laborer is not regular
ly employed, he is to retain this card,
and have employer, foreman or con-
tractor sign it at the end of each
days work."
There are blank lines for the name
of the employe and also lines for the
name of the employer.
Better arm yourself with the card
board-thereby avoiding trouble.

KEEPING THE SABBATH
AND THE LAW

Abbeville is winning this war right
along when it comes to saving gaso-
line. Sunday morning there were
only five cars in front of the Baptist
church, one in front of the Metho-
dist and five in front of the Presby-
terian. All Seceders walked. In
the afternoon there were no pleasure
riders at all.
M.try pleasant walking parties
were enjoyed and the old town was
as quiet as twenty years gao.

PASSING BY.

1t was rumored over town Friday
that Secretary McAdoo had passed
through Abbeville on a special car
going South. He should have tele-
graphed" US and let the populous
turn out and cheer him on his way.
We doubt he was in need of cheers,
having just passed through Green
wood and being bound for Atlanta.

LETTER FROM A SOLDIER

Oscar A. Palmer writes his mother,
Mrs. T. S. Palmer, some of his ex-
periences in France.
Sept. l, 1919.
Dear Mother:
I will now take much pleasure in
writing you few lines today, just
to let you all know I am we'll and
feeling fine. l think I am getting
fat over here, my belt won't hardly
meet, and it used to be in my way.
I haven't seen any scales over here
yet to weigh on.
We had frost here night before
last, what do you think about frost
in August?
Well, today Battery F. started a
Bible class, and we had about so
present, so you see our T. S. is a
bit ahead of Central, and we also
took up hospital fund for our boys,
any time any of our boys are in
the hospital and need any thing like
tobacco and can't get it well you see
it goes for such as that, you just
ought to see us boys crawling a.
round in our barn hunting our beds
at night but you see we have a
plenty of hay and three good blan-
kets to sleep on so you see don't
worry about our sleeping quarters at
all, but some times we get our blan-
kets mixed up and then you can't
sleep until the blankets are found
and then about the time you get as
leep some one is liable to put his
hob-nails down in your face.
Six of us boys went out and help
ed haul hay and oats yesterday ev-
ening, and I enjoyed it for it was a
change for me. You talk about work
but these girls over here sure can
work. They make me ashamed of
myself, but we sure can't understand
their talking, so you see we don't
like that part.
War news seems to be pretty good
these days.
Well, I will close as I want to
write another letter or two. So you
all take care of yourself and write
when you can.
AS ever your boy,
Oscar A. Palmer,

wHEAT-sAvINe POPULAR.

A wonderful response has attended the housewives of Arizona to forego the use of wheat in any form until the next harvest This is in keeping with the purely voluntary patriotic move ment which is sweeping the country. especially in rural sections and in the homes of the well-to-do everywhere.
 Under the leadership of Miss Gun nelle Pederson of Tempe, state chair man of the Women's War Committee, and Mrs. Mary Pritner Lockwood. state home economics director of the Food Administration, the women of the state are being organized for the purpose of taking up a course of six lessons on food conservation in the home, with especial emphasis to the use of substitutes for wheat flour.
 This work is already well under way in Maricopa county, where some 63 units have been established. Church organizations have taken up the work, and with the assistance of domestic science teachers of the rural schools, it is planned to offer the course to the 
 residents of every school district in the county.
 Much interest has been manifested in the no-wheat bread contest which closed April 25. The recipes entered in this contest have been turned over to committee of experts in home economies who will decide the winner of the $25 prize which was offered by member of the executive staff of the Federal Food Administration for Ari- zona.
 It is believed that many valuable formulas for no-wheat and near-wheat- less yeast bread have been gathered in this manner and it is planned to give these wide distribution through out the state to housewives interested.

POTATOES vS. WHEAT

Wheat is needed for the front line over there' Let Arizona potatoes serve as the home guard over here, |" says Timothy A. Riordan, federal food administrator for Arizona.
 Potatoes were called to the colors a year ago. The result was bumper crop, some of which is still on our hands.
 Potatoes grown through patriotism should be eaten through patriotism. They will go to waste if they are not eaten within the next few weeks.
 Some hotels are adopting the plan of serving free potatoes if no wheat bread is ordered. There are almost fifty ways in which you can use them.
 "Housekeepers will find potatoes, rice and hominy the depsRdables as a substitute for bread in the less bread program that must be rigorous ly followed from now until next har- vest"

BOYS WORKING RESERVE
 EAGER TO GET IN HARNESS

Phoenix, Ariz., April 25-Lindley B. Orme, State Director of the Boys Working Reserve, reported at the statewide session of County Councils that prospects are of the best for large additions of boys this summer to the labor reserve of the state. The lads who worked last summer want to get back again in the harness and they will be welcomed by the men who hired them last year. Every where he has gone he has found deep interest in the plan, especially when it is explained that the work is not limit ed to agriculture but may be on the cattle ranges or in machine shops and stores A notable shortage of cowboys is reported, owing to the operation Of the draft. Several hundred boys have been offered from El Paso and 150O from Chicago, but these access sfons, to the local supply will have to be limited to the high cost of travel. It is possible that an agricultural la bor rate of cent a mile will be put into effect this summer on the nation al controlled railroads.
 Another statewide conference will he called from May II. This is at the request of the national authori- ties, who will send eloquent speakers to talk, particularly on subjects that concern the work of the people in backing up the war.

TO KEEP CORN MEAL.


 w. E. Doty, a Miami baker, is au- thority for the statement that no housewife should experience the slightest difficulty in keeping corn meal or milo maize meal on hand dur ing the summer, even throughout the hottest weather without contamination by weevil if the proper precautions are observed
 Meal in sacks, he says, should be set on a small platform to keep it off the floor, and % arranged that there is an air space on all sides. The outside of the sack should be carefully dusted at least once a week. In addition fresh hops should be sprinkled around the sacks. These hops grow wild in many portions of Arizona.
 This is a method which Mr. Doty has followed in his bakery and which can be adapted by any housewife to meet her needs. Meal placed in open bins does not keep so well. It has more of chance to heat and the in- sect which lays the egg for the weevil has better opportunity to get into the meal than when it is contained in cotton bag.
