TY||r.'y'' ~ Of WHEAT WHEAT IN
RELATION TO LIFE
Every BusheI Saved Now Will
Supply a Soldier With D'rcad
Until Next Harvest

Columbia-One bushel of wheat
will care for the bread needs of one
man from now until the next harvest
This means that every bushel OF
wheat that Is saved in this country
by the substitution of cornmeal and
other cereals will supply an American
OF a British or French or a Belgian
or an Italian soldier with bread until
the present crisis in the wheat situa'
tion has passed.
Wheat must now be considered, not
in terms Of dollars and cents, says the
Food Administration, but only in It's
relation to human life.
Before the next wheat crop is avail,
able there remains more than two
months in which America is required
to feed her own people and to con-
tinue exports of flour to the fighting
front and to feed the people OF the
allied countries.
The Food Administration asks ev-
cry person in South Carolina who can
do so to abstain from the use of wheat
-four in any form until the next har-
vest.

Columbia-The Conservation and
Production division of the Food Ad-
ministration at Columbia has been
advised by the Acting Quartermaster
General of the Army at Washington
that sweet potatoes are now substi-
tute component of the Army ration,
and can be used in place Of white
potatoes. Last fall a considerable
quantity Of sweet potatoes were pur-
chased by the Camp Quartermaster.
especially for South camps, and the
purchase of sweet potatoes will very
likely be made on larger scale this
year.
This opens up o new and ready
market for sweet potatoes. 1t is sug-
gested, in the letter received by the
Food Administration, that growers OF
sweet potatoes in South Carolina COM
municate direct with the Camp Quar-
termaster Of the camps located in this
and nearby States and offer sweet
potatoes at the lowest price per hun
dredweight.
Sweet potatoes sold for Army "a
ton must be sacked and delivered at
camps in car load lots, and prices
named should be only for potstoea in
such quantities and delivered, freight
prepaid.

Contributed by PRINCE and PRIN-

What the German government means
by ''place in the sun" Is the extermi-
nation of the peoples whose soil 1t
covets so that Germans may replace
those that have been exterminated.
The systematic destruction of civil
ians in Belgium. northern France, Po-
land, Serbia, and the actual enslave-
ment of the survivors proves 1.-THE
frequently boasted German policy of
blood and iron" and the Hymn Of
Hate" which has become national

From the rudimental condition Of
ancient barhar;sm. \ spiritual! d,>selop-
ment was possible; from :he accom-
piished inhumanity OF PrusSianism, a
more rigid inhumanity only is possible.
A German victory would mean the
blight of what we call civilization and
the elimination Of what we believe di-
vine in man. What we believe in,
what we cherish. what we are, would
be annihilated by the essence Of Prus-
sianlsm; our world would be destroyed
by Prussic acid.
